A Childs Cry

[Faust]

((I'm using Hikaru))

Shiver, Shiver, Shiver

From under the hollow of a tree there could be heard a sneeze and a whimper, as rain fell from the night sky. It was uncharacteristically cold and the rain wasn't helping in the least. It soaked into the thin coat that belonged to a young pup, chilling the skin and causing the young one to shake uncontrollably. If that wasn't all the child was panged by a pain of hunger. It had been weeks since his last meal, so the pup began reduced to eat (or trying to eat) sticks and leaves. The weren't helping. They stabbed his tongue and made his gums bleed, making him cry out more.

" Eep!!" The puppy yelped when there was a clap of thunder and lightning. He moved back, scrunching up in the 'den'. His eyes started to water at this point a tear rolling down his left one.

This feeling, he didn't know what it was called but he didn't like it at all. This feel was, loneliness. "I-I -sniff- don't want to be alone..." The small pup sobbed curling up more trying to keep warm. He even wanted his mommy, even if she had hit him and torn his ear. He still missed her all the same.

Boom

"Ahhh!"

A blur of white dashed near the pup coming closer and closer. She had just left the abacus and was trying to get back to the den she had been allowed to stay in. Brown eyes suddenly caught something, alittle bundle of white fur under some leaves and sticks.

A pup...

Concern came to her as she stopped to try and get a better view of it, looked malnourished and afraid. "Poor thing." She muttered as she thought. She could go over, but she seemed unsure about this her own instincts telling her to get out of the storm. She decided to ignore them and began going toward the pup, her head lowered as she began to sniff and familiarize herself with his scent.

[Faust]

The male looked up, his eyes fearful yet drooping because he was tired. This need for rest did not cause him to calm down, he didn't like others bigger then him, they were rather 'scary'. However this female didn't seem to send any ill wishes to the boy. His dry nose twitched a little at the other's sent, this one smelled pretty yet different somehow.

It was warm, welcoming just like her eyes, and the child tail began to wag slowly on its own.

That is until another flash lit up the sky, send the the pup farther into the den.

[Sadae]

"It's alright little one." She said in her soft and reassuring voice as she continued to move closer. "Where is your family?" She asked looking worriedly at him. It was dangerous out here, not because of the storm but because of the demons that called this place home.

"Are you alone?"

She asked laying down infront of where he hid, her ears flat against her head. The pups inside her large belly protested against her laying down like she did, but she did not move from her position.

[Faust]

"Where is your family?" "Are you alone?"

The puppy nodded at the last part. "I don't have anyone." He said with a sniffle as he scratched his ripped ear. "Mommy left me..." His voice was very soft and his sentence was cut short when more thunder erupted. This time though he didn't move, he had no room to. instead his tears pored out more, he was so afraid right now.

His stomach protested with a loud growl as if to say 'I don't care how afraid you are, get me some food.'

But the boy couldn't comply, he had yet to be weaned and still in need of milk. This female smelled of it, but he couldn't ask her to share.

[Sadae]

"Would you like to come with me then?" She asked smiling. She wasn't sure if Jiggsaw would approve of just inviting anyone in, but Hikaru need help badly. She then looked around to make sure that no one was near again, still a bit on edge.

"If you do then I'll take you to my home." She said sitting up and scratching alittle at her stomach.

[Faust]

"Would you like to come with me then?" "If you do then I'll take you to my home."

Hikaru nodded once more, scooting a little from his hiding place and glancing at the female. "Um, w-where is home?" He asked looking at the the ground, his ears pinning on his head submissively.

His body still shook from the cold, and he longed for this 'home' to be a warm heated one.

[Sadae]

"A nice and dry den with plenty of space, it's not far from here." She said. "Come on I'll carry you." She said smiling. She then scratched her her stomach again, it wouldn't be long until she gave birth to her pups. She needed to get back to the den quickly to prepare herself anyway and rest up. She lowered her head, standing infront of him now and she went to pick him up.

(writer's block.)

[Faust]

The six month old's stomach let out another call for food but it was ignored by the pup. His legs and tail curled underneath him as his small thin body was lifted up off the ground. "T-thank you miss." He replied, his eyes beginning to close as he was carried along to the den.

By the time the reached it the young male had fallen asleep, and was snoring lightly.

[Sadae]

Nara gently set him down in the King's den and looked back out to make sure no one had noticed them. She then went to lay down besde the young pup and began to groom him, her warm toungue cleaning his dirty fur. This was the first time she had ever taken care of a pup over 8 weeks old.

Before this, the humans would take the pup and she would never see them again. She gave a yawn when she was done and looked out the den as the two laid side by side in the warm comfort of the den.

[Faust]

Poor Hikaru didn't sleep long however due to a hunger pain that acted out of the blue. His stomach growled louder then ever and he let out a small whimper for food. At this rate his body would deteriorate itself, his whimpers of pain turned to hungry cries for his mothers milk. It bothered him to no end.

The pup did not take enjoyment in asking for things, it felt so rude to him, but as much as he tried his cries would suppress. He need it food and he need it it now.

[Sadae]

She looked back down to the Hikaru, hearing his cry for food. She looked at him then gave him a bit of a nudge using her nose as if to let him know that he could suckle, her teets had already become filled with warm mother's milk and she would have enough for the young pup.

She would probuably have enough for her unborn pups when the time for their birth arrived. A yawn escaped her muzzle as she laid her head down again to rest up.

[Faust]

The put yipped then began to suckle, it had been so long he almost for got how good a mother's milk tasted. However he frowned a little as he moved away and licked his lips." I hope I'm not stealing this milk or asking to much but um, do you have kids." The small one asked softly. If she did maybe he'd have someone to play with during his stay, however long it may be.

[Sadae]

I hope I'm not stealing this milk or asking to much but um, do you have kids."

"They will be here soon." She said lifting her head. "Place your paw on my stomach and feel." She said to him with a smile, as she moved her head alittle closer to his to watch his response.

"You'll get to meet them soon enough." She said licking his head. "But you are not stealing anything, I offered it to you so you would not starve so it's not stealing."

[Faust]

The pups tail wagged, thumping on the ground as it did so. He could have sworn something moved just now, and his eyes filled with wondering and curiosity. His mind race wondering what they would be like. It was as though these newborns were his own siblings and he was becoming a elder brother. However he know this couldn't be true, he wasn't even sure how long he could stay here.

"But you are not stealing anything, I offered it to you so you would not starve so it's not stealing."

Hearing the female's kind and reassuring words Hikaru nodded and began to drink once more.

[Sadae]

((Gonna wait to see if Jiggs will post here since it is the King's Den.))

[Faust]

((K))

[Sadae]

She smiled, her tail wagging alittle as she laid back down on her side. She yawned and sighed alittle. She gave a slight moan out of annoyance as the pups began kicking at her more as they were preparing for the process of going through labor. She then began to lick Hikaru some more to clean his fur.

"So, what is your name?" She asked him remembering she had never bothered to ask.

[Faust]

"So, what is your name?"

"Um, its H-Hikaru." The pup said shyly as he continued to get a tongue bath form the female. It felt nice like this one was really his mother, or the mother he never had. "What may I call you miss." The child asked just before yawning. He was still sleepy and needed a bit more rest.
