Friends meet again (Loolaalee, Leosan, Akira)

Yami laughed a little. "Drago, she showed up after the attack, so she wasn't watching for anything." Yami said. Then she looked down at the footprints. Immediately, she felt guilty. Oh man...I just killed a mother! Those poor cubs! What have I done? Yami thought. Not only was she so guilty, but she felt terrible because the cubs had apparently dug their mother out of the ground and taken her away, and likely in total silence.

"Oh gosh...I killed a mother tiger...I hope those cubs don't come back for revenge. I was supposed to be their midnight snack anyway, maybe they will accomplish that." Yami said, her face going pale. It wasn't that she was afraid of the cubs. She was more worried that there was a male out in the forest somewhere, who would want revenge on his fallen mate.

Kyoko buys a few trinkets then turns to her friend her eyes hopeful yet determined. I'll find those cubs I'll raise them myself if I have too.

Yami smiled. She was about to respond to Akira when she heard a low roar. Birds took to the skies at the sound. It was close. Very close. "Well, taking care of the cubs would work, except, first we would have to deal with the father!" Yami said, diving out of the way as a tiger, much larger than the one from the night before, lunged out of the bushes, right where Yami had been. The animal rolled across the clearing, angrier than ever. It glared at Yami. "How did it know that I-" she started. Then she looked down at the blood on her knife, and instantly knew that the tiger had known it was her because of the smell of blood.

The tiger lunged again, this time aiming its mouth right at Yami's throat. She dropped to the ground and it sailed over her head, landing on its feet behind her. She jumped up into a crouch, holding the already bloody knife in front of her. She really didn't want to kill another animal. She hoped to just get out of this with both of them having only a few scratches. The cat charged again, this time barely scratching just under Yami's left eye as it went past. The scratch began to bleed, but it was also already healing, with a faint white glow, starting to leave behind a scar.

Kyoko rushes over quite worried about both her friend and the tiger putting herself between the two."Easy big guy we don't want to hurt you. I know your mad but think about your cubs they need you. I can heal you if you like. I'm not sure is you understand me or not but I hope you can."Kyoko looks into the tiger's eyes hoping it understands she is scared on the inside but won't show it.
