Live or Die

Laying lazily over a branch Kashmir softly swept her tongue around her body, cleaning every last inch with care. Her beautiful golden eyes were half closed as she barely thought about the world around her. Her tail swept peacefully back and forth from the branch. She moved to her paws, softly licking in between her paw pads. Her rough tongue felt numb after the 'bath'. She licked her chops a couple of times to get the flavor of dirt off her tongue. She smoothed her fur back down softly, and her ears laid against her head smoothly. She let her head fall to her paws as she rested amongst the forest. It was dawn, the sun was creeping into the forest and the dew softly rested on the plants. Her claws were etched out gripping onto the bark of the tree. She moved her body lazily to the side as her head rested on her arm. Her eyes were slowly drifting and her mouth held open as she took soft, silent breaths of air.

_{Vince trotted through the forest happily, his tail high in the air waving side to side as his body moved along. He was proud of himself, why wouldn't he be?! He was handsome, strong, smart, and he was ready to start letting others join his pack. He was a fantastic leader and he knew any girl would be lucky to have him in their presence. He wasn't being full of himself, he was just stating facts that were true. He knew that even if he was being cocky, he was never one to be stuck-up. He was a complete sweetheart who really cared about others and what they felt or thought.}

Kash fell into a slightly soft sleep. For most people would hear a snore coming from another sleeping animal, but she was different she was a quiet sleeper and often purred a little. Her gorgeous form was like a painting from now adays. Her fur was perfectly in it's place, her body was as beautiful as it could get. And she just looked like an angel that had fallen from heaven. Her tongue met her lips as she licked her chops. Her eyes softly opened, but she still lay in that perfect pose and was just beautiful.

Petr limped slowly through the forest, and looked around. He stopped to sniff around to get an idea of who lived in the area. He smelled the faint scent of a female, and he could tell it wasn't a tiger but other than that he didn't know much. He also smelled the fresher scent of a male. He sighed, and growled to himself "If I run into him, I'll just see if I ca nintimidate him enough. A broken leg won't help much in a fight..." He started to limp forward again, in the direction of the female's scent. He kept looking around for her, but didn't see her anywhere... "Must've climbed up a tree or something" he muttered, and sat down to rest his injured leg. He didn't seem like he ws in pain like he should've been. He seemed more annoyed with it than anything.

_{Vince stopped in his tracks. There was a cat nearby, not just one cat, two cats. One female, one male. He smiled, things were about to get exciting. With his tail high in the air and his head held up proudly, he trotted along with a big grin on his face. He finally reached the spot, he could smell the feline's scent all over the tree. He looked up to see the beautiful clouded leopard resting on a branch. He trotted around the tree and marked the tree as his own territory. He knew that the feline would get a kick out of that. He then backed up enough to look up at the leopard and smile. He let out a little yip to announce his presence, if his scent marking didn't do that enough already.}

Kash lifted her head, a terrible stench filled her nostrils. She shook her head and then heard an annoying yip. She looked down to see a scrawny mut. She rolled her eyes, really...? she thought to herself. Yeah that was a way to impress... She turned her body from him, and licked her paw. She wasn't interested in communicating with a canine. He looked so desperate... haha. silly muts..they never understand. She smiled to herself and snickered. She kept licking her paw with her rough tongue to show lack of interest.

_{Vince frowned as the little lady turned away from him. 'I spose that marking my territory on her turf isn't the best way to make a first impression.' He trotted around the tree to go to the side where the little lady was facing. He yipped at her while wagging his short=haired tail side to side smiling. "Awww gee I'm sorry little lass. Didn't mean to offend you in any way. It's only a dog's nature ma'am." He let out a little whine from his chest. A dog couldn't resist a cat up in the tree, and he was having a very hard time resisting this beautiful creature. He sat his haunches down with his tail still wagging. His tongue even came out as he began to pant while staring at the cat. He wasn't in a hunting drive since this cat was about the same size as him, but he was deathly curious about her. Too curious for his own good.}

im gonna reply..cuz rudolf hasnt

Kashmir gazed at the desperate mut. "No need for apologizing." And she turned around her tail drooping from the tree swinging back and forth. She smiled to herself, he really wanted her attention and she was getting him irritated. She turned her head to her shoulder looking at the poor thing. She couldn't help but turn back around when he whined. What a little pup. She let out a yawn and stretched out her back exposing her claws. Her eyes stared droopily at him, even though she didn't want to really communicate with a dog, she couldn't help but be interested in this lad.

<sub>A frown grew upon Vince's face. If he was this un-interesting he would truly doubt himself. Maybe it wasn't him, maybe this cat was just a bludger. Vince sighed and began to turn around just as the cat turned her head and looked over to him. Well at least she noticed his presence. His tail stopped wagging and he let out a huff of disappointment. He thought he was much better at getting attention then this cat was letting him on to get. What had he done wrong? Maybe this cat simply hated canines of all kinds. He was hoping that was it, 'cause if it weren't he would surely be doubting himself greatly. He was always excellent at getting girls to notice him, and this one frankly didn't care if he existed at all. Usually girls loved his accent as well, it was unique for this terrain and made him stand out in a crowd, along with his occasional aussie slang. He sighed once more, turned to look at the face of the cat, and began to slowly walk away with his head lower then before. He didn't lose his pride, but he lost his excitement and interest in the cat. He didn't like those who were demanding and stuck-up, they annoyed him because no one ever wants to try that hard for anyone. He wasn't going to make himself a pathetic beggar simply because he was interested in a stupid cat.

Aussie slang;
bludger: lazy person, people who rely on others to do everything for them

is there any way you can make ur replies bigger Xinn? It's kinda hard to read...

Kash watched as the dog went slowly away. His head was lower than when he came. hah...what a poor creature only living on the fact that he can make a good impression on the ladies.. She smiled and extended her claws. She leapt down off the tree just as fast as it would take you to hiccup. That was one of her magnificent strengths, she could climb trees like there was no tomorrow. And she looked fantastic when she did it. She started slowly walking towards the canine that had slumped away. Her body moving back and forth gracefully as she took step by step. Her tail swayed back and forth low to the ground brushing the dirt behind her. Her large paws made beautiful imprints in the ground as she walked away she turned to look back at her tracks, they were amazing just like her. A smile went across her face as she went on maybe running into the little mutt again to finish her game.

Vince walked slowly, quickly recovering from being blown off, he lifted his head up high and his tail was now high and wagging as usual. He wasn't one to be hurt that easily by someone he didn't know or care about. He casually made his way down a hill sprinting as it was one of the most exciting thrills you could have, sprinting down a hill that is. He landed gracefully at the bottom of the hill on all four feet. He began to pant as he turned around slightly, someone was following him. He could sense that he was being followed. He chuckled at the thought of it being the stuck-up feline. Would she really be that ridiculous to follow him after she had just told him how she had no interest in his existence? Well she had obviously been interested in him but wanted to have the power. It wasn't working, because Vince was not one to dwell on those things and he now knew that the feline was actually very interested in him. He could smell her presence behind him which planted a grin upon his face. He looked down at his paws and shook his head with a smile. Women.

Kashmir soon realized that the dog had noticed her following him. A smile came across her face and she trotted down the hill right towards him. Her tail was high, and slowly going back and forth, that was the most excitement she could really show with her tail. It was heavy and she had no interest in pushing herself to make it go any faster. She looked straight at the little canine. He was about the size of herself. She was a bit heaftier than he, but thats how cats were and she didn't really care. Her whiskers twitched at the canine smell. It was so different then her own. And she couldn't stand seeing him so dirty, he really needed to know how to groom himself. But unfortunantly she knew that dogs didn't groom themselves, they simply ran through water or something stupid like that. She sat down on her butt, and started licking her paw again. She had to clean something while seeing him so disgusting looking. It was bugging her..
