Trouble-maker kits(open)

[raindapple]

"I'm ssssoooooo hugry!" a wail came from next to the fresh-kill pile. Falconkit sat next to it, tapping his long tail against the ground as he gave the pile a dark blue glare. There was three mice, and a shrew, but the picky little tom wasn't in the mood for either prey. The only thing he had on his mind was a nice, rich plump squirrel. Of course, he still had to wait for the hunting patrol to come back.

<sup>Nettlepaw emerged from the apprentices' den, opening his jaws wide open in a yawn. When his belly rumbled, he realized how hungry he was, so his first thing to do was to go find some cats or his own mentor to go hunting, so he could eat when he returned and had fed the queens and elders.

Seeing Falconkit by the pile of fresh-kill, he trotted over to the little kit and greeted him with a mischievious smile. "Hi there, Falconkit! What 'cha doin'?" he asked, curious on why the kit looked so serious.</sup>

[raindapple]

Falconkit looked up as Nettlepaw came over, his large ears pinned back against his skull. "I'm ssooo hugry, but we don't have any squirrels!!: the lynx point tom wailed, thumping his long tail to the ground. He stuck his bottom lip out at the fresh-kill pile with a serious-like frown.

[♦ stormeh ♦]

^{Nettlepaw only rolled his eyes and sighed, sitting down across from Falconkit. "So? Are you going to strive off of squirrels for the rest of your life? You know, there won't always be squirrels on the pile," he pointed out, gesturing toward the fresh-kill pile with his bushy tail. Nettlepaw didn't have any problems with kits, but being the energetic and lively kits they were, they sometimes annoyed him. Not that it would bother him too much, though.}

[raindapple]

Falconkit rolled his eyes at Nettlepaw. "Yeahhh, no. But I only want a squirrel today for lunch, and then I'll have a mouse for dinner!" the kit declared, lashing his tail. "And my dad says that eating squirrels at least once a day can increase your sight, and make you grow fastesr! And I'm going to be the fastest, smartest, and biggest cat in the clan!" Falconkit started bragging, puffing out his chest.

[smokey]

Smokesight gave a purr of laughter as he listened to the little kit complain. He had just returned from hunting and in his jaws was a plump gray squirrel. He dropped it in the pile and gave Falconkit a soft cuff over the ear with his paw. "Hello there Falconkit" he mewed, his yellow-amber eyes gleaming. "Not getting into too much trouble are you?"

He had always loved kits, often he would find himself making excuses to visit them in the nursery or play with them in the clearing. He gave a good natured twitch of his whiskers hoping the kit didn't think he was being rude. The demand and assertiveness he saw in the young kit made his eyes shine. With a little training this kit would no doubt shape up to be an amazing warrior.

[raindapple]

Falconkit's dark blue eyes brighten as Smokesight came up with a fresh, plump squirrel. "Alright! Thanks Smokesight!" the lynx point kit meowed, digging into the meaty body of the gray animal. Rainkit came up with an amused look on her face. "Falconkit, don't eat too fast. Mama says you can get hiccups if you do that." the blue-gray she-kit said, giving Nettlepaw and Smokesight a nod.

[smokey]

Smokesight felt pride in being able to make the kits day just by catching a squirrel. He dipped his head in return to Rainkit. "Hello Rainkit," He mewed kindly. He looked back over at Falconkit, "Why dont you share some with your sister? You cant possibly eat that whole squirrel its nearly as big as you!" Finding one that had been so fat and well fed had been a total blink of luck for him. he than addressed his mews to Nettlepaw "How is your training going?" He asked politely. He ignored his growling stomach, set off no doubt by the smell of the squirrel Falconkit was devouring next to him.

[raindapple]

Falconkit licked his lips, glancing over at his sister. "Want some squirrel sisie?" he asked, sneaking another bite. Rainkit smiled warmly at her brother. "Sure Falconkit, I was getting hugry." the small she-kit sat down next to her brother, and then both of them started tearing away at the fresh meat.

[smokey]

Smokesight watched them a moment, wondering how much longer they had in the nursery till they were made apprentices. He could only imagine what the look on Falconkit's face would be when he caught his first Squirrel. "I bet your mom would be really happy if you two brought her back something to eat after you're done eating" He mewed thoughtfully. "Then maybe I can show you the hunting crouch. It wont be long now till you two get to go off into the forest and hunt prey of your own"

[raindapple]

Falconkit wagged his long tail at the mention of Dapplecreek. "OK! That's a good idea Smokesight!" without a second word, he began going though the pile. "Now let's see, would she like the mouse or the shrew."
While Falconkit was viewing the fresh-kill pile, Rainkit spotted Wrinklewind nearby. She always found the bald she-cat fastationing since she had, well, no fur. Getting up, she trotted over to the strange-looking warrior. "Hi Winklewind, what are you?" she asked, flicking her brushy tail.

[smokey]

Smokesight gave a purr of amusement as he watched Falconpaw dig through the pile looking for the perfect piece of kill to bring back to the nursery.

Wrinklewind looked up from the pigeon she was eating, "Hello Rainkit," She was all too used to the kits finding her funny looking, well actually everyone found her funny looking. Just at the last gathering a loud mouth riverclan apprentice asked her why she lost all of her fur and was scared it was contagious. "I'm a cat, like you are," She felt her gaze linger a bit too long on the kit's thick fur, and the feeling of envy that hit her made her sick. It wasn't fair, being born bald. Her own mother couldn't stand the sight of her, why should anyone else? "Why what do you think I am?" she mewed almost playfully. there was no reason to be cross at a kit for asking questions.

[raindapple]

((holy smoke, sorry! I meant to tpye "How are you?" not "What are you?"!))
Rainkit looked confused, then widen her green eyes in shock. "I'm sorry Wrinklewind, I meant to say 'How are you', not 'What are you'!" the blue-gray she-kit explained in horror, crouching down low with her fluffy tail between her legs.

[smokey]

[hahaha i wasnt sure its totally fine. I kinda figured]

Wrinklewind gave a light purr, "Well theres no need to crouch down like I'm a badger going to eat you!" Her eyes allowed a touch of laughter to show through. "I'm very well though, Rainkit. I was out running this morning, its finally starting to get warm." She blinked and her bony tail lightly thumped the earth next to her in a rhythmic manor. "How has your day been? The weather's warm enough for the grasshoppers to be out, I used to practice stalking those when I was a kit." silently she added, then again I had noting else to do as a kit. I was the only one in the nursery, and my darling mother avoided me like greencough.

((*sweat*))
Rainkit perked her ears, sitting up straight. "What's it like out in the terriorty Wrinklewind? When you first left the camp...how did it feel being out there?" Rainkit asked, her green eyes shinning brightly. During her whole kithoud, she stayed in the camp like a good kit should. But still...she always wondered what it was like out there, in the forest, beyond the river, the moutations...the very thought made her spine shiver with extiment!
