New Wolf Era

Lupita

She nodded to her mate, shrugging a bit. "They are pretty much apprentices, might as well give them ranks. What would you like to do with your sons? Shall we have a battle for the throne of beta? Might as well keep our lines at the head ranks, I feel as though Hibari may make a great beta, as Hidan would be better in the head warrior ranks, or Hidan as beta, and Hibari as head hunter. What do you think?" She asked, wondering what her mate thought of the future of Ronoh. She was positive her daughter would take the Alpha ranks, especially with this spy mission coming up, nothing doubted her that her daughter would succeed, or so she hoped.

She reached out to place a paw on her mates, knowing he was moreso stubborn and didn't want to retire.

"don't think of it as retiring, but more so.. watching over our pups and making sure they make good Alphas before we die, so we know the pack is in good hands. Wouldn't you rather see them do good, then die on the spot and make them fight for the head ranks? You little girl might not survive a fight against the pack, if they all were to gang up on her for the throne.. but if we already gave it to her.. what would they do?" She suggested, knowing Karasu could very well take on a wolf one on one, but to take on a whole pack for alpha position took a lot of effort she didn't think any of her pups could handle..

Akemi & Yami

"Ah I know, you're mother. Oh, she's quite the handful." He chuckled, following after the pair and waiting quietly while another female showed up.

"Well, it seems we will be needing to find some food, and I just know the perfect place, especially since your mother is out on an important mission." It seemed Akemi's mind was jumping too and fro, not really taking in the harsh words Dante was saying, as though Yami's mixed element tuned into his, making words go "in one ear and out the other". 

"Well, we will have to change this certain mess of Mother not allowing me to be a father." Akemi explained, a smile on his face, which was almost always creepy. "As your father, I, Akemi, will be honored to learn about you, and not to mention, I am quite the fighter, might I add? Fighting is merely filled with love and happiness, and one cannot go wrong with such a valuable thing." He explained, feeling his heart beating happily as though life was so wonderful, and everything around it was as well.

 

The female came crawling over to Akemi, panting. She was in a mean mood and was nonetheless annoyed at the male. Sitting in front of him, she raised up a paw and smacked him straight in the muzzle. It caught Akemi off guard, sending him right to the ground in an instant.

"I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM YOUR CHILDREN!" She shouted, "DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON SUCH PATHETIC PIECES OF CRAP!" 

 

Akemi lifted himself, shaking off the blow as he stared at Yami in an off sort of way. "Now now, don't talk of these majestic pups in such a horrid way, that's not very nice now, is it?"

Yami just growled, lifting up a paw to send a flash of light covered in Akemi's darkness, towards his way.

Akemi quickly lifted a shield of darkness covered in light, only to block his sister from such a brutal and unneeded attack.

 

While this all went on, a flash of blue surrounded the pair and they both immediately got sent to the ground. Both of them laid there, silently.

Dante

He looked at Kori as if she was from a different planet. "You can do all that?" He asked, then tilted his head. "Wow. So, I did see the future? Maybe I am psychic too!" His tail lifted up as he felt maybe that he'd have his element like his close friend.

He heard a small buzz as Blaire approached in his head, but Dante figured it was the flies that were around them. "There's hope that he might....but do we really want to know who our father is?" He asked, suddenly a part of him didn't want to know. What would it change? It was easier to hate their father without knowing as opposed to putting a face and seeing them roam around the pack without a care for either of them.

Dante suddenly felt a dark presence start to take over again as Akemi followed after them. His eyes narrowed as his fur fluffed up in irritation. He just wanted to be away from the wolf now. Ignoring most of the rambling that he was going on. After the creepy smile, no wonder his mother didn't want them near him. He was probably crazy, delusional. Who knows? Dante had never met this wolf before.

"Stop saying you're our father!" Dante snapped, his fur quivering until Blaire's facial expression was enough to make him stop. His eyes shot over as Yami arrived, glad that she was here, maybe to set the record straight. Children? So, this wolf could be telling the truth?

The next part stung deeply into the wolf, causing him to visibly flinch. One of the wolves that he thought cared the most for him had turned on them, thought they were nothing and a waste of space. Dante's tail caught Blaire's. Who else that cared about him felt the same way? Dante stood besides his sister, "No matter what happens, we have each other, Blaire." Dante tried to comfort her, but he too was having a troublesome time. He had to be strong for them, thankfully, this element of darkness was aiding in it.

As the two wolves quarreled in front of him, Dante squinted his eyes as the light was getting too much for him. He pushed Blaire before knocking into Kori. "Go." He ordered to get her away, seeing her fearful face. They had to get out of here. His face was opposite of his sister, completely void of emotion and blank.

Dante

He stared blankly at Blaire, Dante felt bad from her turn of optimism. He, on the other hand, was a realist. If the wolf hadn't been apart of their first year and half of life, there was no way he'd get involved as they became adults. As Blaire's words stopped him, Dante turned away and was about to walk away. This was all too much for him.

As Yami returned to sweetly talking to them, Dante wasn't buying it. The damage was done for now. What was the truth and what was a lie. "Enough has happened. Ask the others, I'm not explaining." He spat at his Aunt, swinging his tail around causing shadows to swirl out of his tail. Dante stormed off in anger. He just needed to be by himself now. Too much had happened.

ooc: Question: Why are all of Sarah-based icons going berserk? Does anyone else see that?

Bushido
~+~
After many, many days of constant walking with little-to-no rest, the large yearling was practically sleepwalking. He had gotten into a slight scuffle a few days back, and where his thick fur had been ripped out, patches of scabs and dried blood could be seen. Not to mention the large blade on his back was slowly increasing in weight until it seemed almost unbearable. And so Bushido swayed back and forth as he wandered further and further into Ronoh.

Bleary eyes seemed to brighten as the familiar smell of ice and cold welcomed his nostrils. Bleary as his mind was, he could only think of home, and instinctually wandered towards it, Stumbling across an ice-encrusted den, the elementalless wolf gave an appreciative sigh and entered. As he shuffled to the back of the save, he held one side of his body pressed against the cool of the rock, and his mind was instantly home in the glaciers near the top of the world. Almost smiling to himself, he did his best to curl up, subconsciously orienting himself so his sword wouldn't get stuck, and properly fell asleep.

Dezera

She turned to give a silent glare at Karasu, not saying much. It was risky to make a huge bank off of Sera. They'd be lucky to get away unnoticed, but it appeared they did. As Dezera assisted Kodi into crossing over the border line, Dezera looked around. There was no hassle, no patrols of wolves had passed by or were alerted of them. Maybe it was possible to sneak in again and steal more game. How much could they get away with?

Letting go of the deer, Dezera approached a tree along the borderline and rubbed her fur against it to mark the Ronoh scent. Showing off that they at least had their border's protected or at least creating an act that they did. It seemed they were successful but Dezera's silver eyes gazed upon the Sera's lands from her spot in case a wolf showed up and launched an attack. No doubt, Karasu would go prance on to Mama Lupita to show off 'her' game.

Blaire

The female nodded and closed her eyes as the male snuggled into her, her element leaking shadows less and less as she seemed to be fading from the world, losing energy from exhaustion.

"...Promise?"

The words were bringing peace to her mind but her body was frail from hunger and the added stress on her right now just wasn't right. She was repeating herself and wasn't quite transmitting what Dante was saying, just knowing he was saying something.. something good. Slumping down it seemed more of her weight was beginning to rely on her brother until she was forced to lie down. Her eyes closed, and she slowed her breathing. At this point, it was to sleep or die. She needed to conserve energy, and her energy was at an edge of life. Blaire let out a dry, airy cough before she was silent, passed out across her brothers paws.

Kali

Since Braxton and Hibari seemed to be in their own world, and from the distance it seemed like the wolves were returning from the hunt, Kali turned to Hibari and smiled at him.

"Hibari! FOOD!" She said, reaching out to lick him right on the mouth to throw him off, before sprinting off towards Dezera, who was practically her aunt. She turned back behind her shouldar, away from Hibari and Braxton, wondering if either of them would follow, or if Hibari even noticed her motive to make a move on her best friend.

Dezera

She turned her gaze over to the silver wolf, watching him for a moment. "We will after they feast and the alphas know about our mission. Besides, I'm sure you want to go see to Yami..." Dezera trailed on, turning her head up as she noticed Yami's daughter bolting toward the food. Speaking of which, where were her own pups? It didn't matter, they were probably off on their own or with one of their other family members.

Dezera lowered herself to sit neatly near the deer, not really having any wolf to go to to announce that she made it home perfectly fine. Aiden was gone, and she knew that he watched her throughout the event. Her bones were sticking out, fur barely clinging onto skin as her ribs protruded.

Lupita

The female listened as she heard the others approaching, and not only that, they were very close by. She approached and sat near them, looking over the kill with a very serious face. Not only was she unimpressed, but she was disappointed as well.

"This will not feed everyone." She said, simply.

"You three, take your piece. The rest will go to Kenpachi and I, and all the youngest wolves, as they are the future of Ronoh, the younger they are, the first spot in line they have. Dezera, your pups and Kori are the youngest, when you are finished, bring them food." She ordered, extremely serious.

"Any leftovers will be up for grabs." She explained, "So if you wish to feed someone, I would take it before you leave, there won't be much." She muttered.

"In other terms, I am glad you all returned home safe. We will do this again, tomorrow night. I expect you all to be ready to leave by dusk, no later. Understand?" She said, standing there waiting. "Until then, I order you all to eat and rest, and do nothing extreme. Don't do anything stupid, and save all your energy accordingly. Karasu, you may begin to eat, Dezera and Kodi, follow after." She sat aside, wanting her wolves to be well fed before she was. Kenpachi would be fine, his own muscle would give him an extra day or two before starvation, and if she really wanted too, she could hunt over at the beach.. if she ever found time to get away. But it was a lot of energy, and this was the best plan.

"You are dismissed."

 

Karasu

The female nodded as her mother spoke, taking everything very seriously as she could tell her mother was not pleased. Her eyes shifted back and fourth between the two wolves who, for once, were giving no respect. It seemed Kodi wasn't hungry and went off, so she took the advantage, especially because her dibs were first, and decided to break off a whole leg for herself. Using her teeth, the female ripped accordingly, digging into the thigh to her best ability before carrying the feast off into the bushes. Last thing she needed was to be ambushed by others, this was her kill, and her meal.

Drooling with anticipation, Karasu found a quiet spot nearest the Sera lands where she came from, looking out through the bushes at the meadow. It seemed they had made good timing, as she could hear many others off in the distance now, and if they were still there they would have probably been caught. Karasu was unable to make out what they were saying, only feel the vibrations of what felt like two males and a female... maybe more if she wasn't mistaken.

She dug into her leg, eating quickly from her empty stomach as she seemed to be much hungrier than expected. How many days had it been? Two..? Three? Either way, her stomach was finally satisfied, and she let out a wonderful burp of happiness.

Ooc; sorry I must have read the last Yami post wrong.

Hibari
~+~
Curling his tail around his paws patiently, Hibari waited for Kali to splash at the fireball first. Of course he could easily douse the flame, but he really wanted Kali to have fun. He could wait his turn. Pretty soon his attention was caught on a swarm of small, silver fish in the pond and all outside noises were tuned out.

"Huh? Wah?" He wondered as Kali shouted his name. He looked up, right in time to get a big kiss. The grey male blinked multiple times, suddenly in a daze. There was a sort of tingling up his spine that he hadn't felt before. It was like he had passed through a barrier or something. Maybe.... Maybe he and Kali could be more than best friends.... But wasting no time, he bounded after his best friend, coming in behind her, tail wagging.

Kenpachi
~+~
Whimpering slightly at another pang of hunger, but at the approach of others, Kenpachi sat himself up into a more dignified position and made it seem like he wasn't starving. But unfortunately he wasn't going to be able to do any fighting anytime soon. He was glad to see that at least two of his offspring were at least present. But where was Hidan? Once there was more food, he would be sure to track his son down. His ears lifted at the call for warriors, and lifted his own muzzle to Akemi that there was food. But there wasn't nearly enough for a full-on train session, though he didn't want to admit it.

Bushido
~+~
As a soft voice roused his dreams, Bushido was roused into a half-sleep. The scent that had drifted into his ice cavern was comforting, almost like the smell of his mother's. But his drowsy brain finally recognized that he did not recognize the voice. All at once, despite how exhausted he was, he was instantly on his feet, eyes opening to flash his inherited electric blue eyes. A deep growl spread through his throat in alarm as his sword screeched as it carved through the ice and stone of the den.

Naomi

As soon as the wolf jumped to his paws with a throaty growl, Naomi flinched and shrunk back. She might've collapsed to her paws if all her blood hadn't gone to her legs, twitching to race out of this den. Never a fighter, always one to flee. The ice wolf held still, something had told her to stay put.

"You're not my son." Naomi whispered the obvious under her breath as she shivered. "Who are you?" She found her voice and asked, letting it fling off the frozen walls of her den. This wolf could very well kill her with how vulnerable and unskilled the beta was. "Why are you here?"

Lupita

Once the group claimed their meal, and Kenpachi made a call, she looked to him in a different way than normal. They were both looking weaker than their typical alphaship role, and with any sort of an attack they would never survive, nor the pack.

"Kenpachi, we must do this daily until we have enough food to survive.." She said, unhappily.

"It looks to me like we may be in for some close calls. We need to be as careful as possible, I can only hope they don't let us down."

Her stomach growling forced her to turn and make her way to the meal, lowering her head to eat straight out of the deer. There was no 'take your portion and leave' in her mind, she was going to eat until she was full, because she was going to survive, damnit.

Yami

She sadly watched the group head off and away from her, nodding as Kori explained everything. Oh, why did she have to be so mean? She let out a sigh. Before she could chase after the little ones that disappeared into darkness, her eyes were covered by large paws. The voice was obvious though, and she quickly broke free to turn around and tackle-hug her dearest friend.

"KODI!" She said, licking his cheek happily as her tail wagged too and fro. "Oh, I've missed you so! How was it? How are you?" She backed up, looking over him as if making sure he was all still in one piece.

Yami

She smiled at Kodi, nodding as she listened. "I bet it was stressful... being in enemy lands is scary.." She said, remembering when Kali was kidnapped and drama had happened. She was so thankful to still have her daughter by her side, and speaking of which, she was hoping to see her soon, as she missed that little girl.

"You caught a deer?" Her stomach growled, and she turned to look over Kodi's shouldar, wondering if there was any food left. Sure enough, Kenpachi was giving a howl and she knew it would be a feast tonight.

"How many?!" She asked, expecting more than one. "I'm starved!" She smiled, leaning in to lick him on the cheek, so happy that he was safe. She was extremely worried, especially since she didn't remember ever saying good bye.

Yami

The female nodded, listening intently as she watched him carefully, sad to hear the news, but understanding.

"Well, you did your best, that's all that matters." She smiled, and then shrugged. "Of course we can talk.. about what?" She sounded a bit concerned, wondering what he had to say. Remembering what they had talked about before he left and she had disappeared, she let a smile crack.

"I've been thinking about that question, you know, about us being mates and all." She sheepishly looked to the ground, her paw making circles in a patch of dirt among the grassy lands.

"And I just wanted to tell you yes, I would love to be your mate Kodi." She looked up at him, offering a shy, but excited smile.

Yami

She smiled at him, her tail wagging in relief since she realized what he was going to ask. "Yeah, I needed to calm Akemi down, whatever I say to him, don't let it bother you." She laughed, grinning at him as she nodded in agreement.

"I love you too, Kodi." She said, shyly.

Yami

She gave him a smile and an innocent giggle, whacking him playfully with her tail. "Of course I know you mean it. Why would you say it if you didn't?" She smiled, and then nodded, hungrily. "I'm starved." She looked to her stomach, embarrassed by how skinny she was when back in the day she used to be pretty hefty for a female. The lack of food was starving her, but her mouth watered to think about finally ending her starvation.

Kenpachi
~+~
"You think I don't know that?" Kenpachi snapped. Normally, he would just grunt, but his constant gnawing hunger was driving him mad. Well, madder than usual. Already he wanted to lash out and kill something-anything, even one of his fellow pack members- just to eat. In a sort of fit, the alpha coated his tail in thick armor and lashed it against the ground like a sort of mace. There was a deep rumble in his throat as his pupils began to dilate, an early sign of his bloodlust. The armor wolf bore his teeth and growled at nothing in particular, but it was something that he would have done during a fight.

Hibari
~+~
Taking a seat near his best friend, Hibari offered her a shy smile with some red dusting the grey-and-white of his cheeks. His yellow eyes averted themselves before turning back towards hers. HE blushed deeper and seemed to scoot closer. He was just about to almost touch her tail with his when Kodi came up. Then as if he had been caught in -THAT- act, yelped and spazzed out, tripping over himself in order to appear as non-suspicious as possible.

Now his attention was fully turned on a blade of grass while his face burned hotter than ever.

Dezera

Pushing herself into a light trot, Dezera walked toward her mother's den. Kori would most likely be in there. She trudged toward it, her mind on other things. Noticing Kori going toward the den, Dezera quickened her pace to meet up with her.

"Here. Have your fill and if mom wants any, let her take it." Dezera tossed toward Kori, forfeiting her own share to increase Kori's, knowing that they little one needed it and her mother would need it too. Her mother was getting old and needed the strength. Even if she and Naomi were never close, Dezera didn't want another parent of her's to be gone.

Dezera slunk off with a nice amount to fill her pup's hunger for only a while. Now, the problem was to try and find those rugrats.

Yami & Kali

Yami just smiled to Kodi, laughing a bit as she followed him towards the food. Looking up to the sky, Yami walked at a nice trot, enjoying the weather as it seemed to be cooling down, and the wind was picking up. Yami typically liked when a good storm was going to hit, and that seemed to be the case. 

As they neared the food, Yami noticed her daughter sitting next to Hibari, and she couldn't help but straighten up a bit, feeling a tinge of protecting motherhood kicking in. "Hey Kali." She smiled at them, inspecting her daughter silently to ensure of her safety, as she always did.

Kali lifted her head up as she heard her name, twice. "Hi Kodi! Hi Mom!" She giggled, running over to leap into her Mom, giving her a big hug before making her way to Kodi, lifting her paw up to offer a high-five to her good friend.

"We're waiting for food, isn't this exciting?" She had never felt so excited about getting food, and it made her feet dance in place. She looked back to Hibari, smiling at him. Letting out a giggle, Kali pranced back to his side, nonchalantly wrapping her tail right around his, even if he seemed extremely nervous at the time. 

"You remember Hibari, right?" She smiled at her mom.

Yami just laughed and smiled, "Oh of course, Hi Hibari." She said, attempting to cover her worried expression, always wanting the best for Kali after knowing about how she got here, and never wanting her daughter to experience something she did in the past.

Kodi


He smiled and wagged his tail, he had always been close with Kali. Ever since she was a pup he had played with her and even taught her how to ice skate when she was really young. It was crazy how she was all grown up now. He gave her a high five. "Hello Hibari." Kodi said with a nod towards the younger male. The two were always close it seemed. He then went closer to Yami again and cuddled into her. He looked at her and smiled.
