The scent was getting stronger, She noticed as her paws padded silently along the damp earth towards her prey. The skies were dark, not from night, but from the storm that rumbled overhead, though the young huntress was safely hidden under the tree's where she moved several paces before sniffing again. "I'll show them... I'm just as good a hunter as the adults!" she mumbled quietly to herself as her mind unwillingly replayed the event's that led to this crazed boar hunt.
Wall-e's eye's seemed to glare at her in her mind, fueling her rage all the more at having been told she was too young to hunt. Well, taking down a wild-pig should show them! She gave a silent wolf grin as she heard the noisy pig a few bushes away from her, He was making quite a bit of noise as he played in a mud puddle, a perfect ring of tree's made the small clearing that the massive, tusked boar claimed as his bath. Her ice blue eye's peaked through the trees, she was deadly silent, though her heart seemed to feel as if it were about to burst out of her chest, her mind momentarily reminded her that this was a suicide mission. She shook that thought off and readied herself for the hunt, taking in a deep solid scent filled breath.
She paused. Another wolf was here...

 Itsuki had been tracking this scent for quite awhile now, the occasional growling sound coming from his stomach a constant reminder of the fact that he hadn't eaten a decent meal for the past few days. Such was the life of a loner out in the wilds where one played by noone else's rules other than their own as well as those already set by the great Earth Mother. Over the years, Itsuki had become acquainted with this sensation all too well and learnt how to redirect attention from his hunger towards other more constructive activities.
"Everything was all in the mind."
That was what Kei had taught him amongst the many other things that he would require in order to survive out in the wild on his own like this. With just a little bit of imagination as well as sheer will power, even the mere act of nibbling on a blade of grass could potentially have the same effect of satiating one's hunger pangs much akin to that of a tasty morsel. Itsuki had yet to resort to doing something like that though. He couldn't tell if Kei was being serious or pulling his leg when he told him all that.
The storm was making tracking even harder. Decreased visibility. Dampened scents. Washed away clues that could aid him in locating his prey. It was with great difficulty that Itsuki finally managed to pick up this scent and he was determined to track it down. Ah... there it was. The snowy white male grinned to himself when amber orbs finally spotted his prize. A huge tusked boar enjoying what could potentially be its last mudbath. Tusked boars were... trickier to hunt compared to most other preys. If he didn't plan this hunt carefully, he might come out of it bruised and aching for days, which would be a very bad thing.
Itsuki paused in mid-step as he emerged from the cover of the trees and directly in front of Istas, suddenly realizing belatedly that he was not alone.
"... are you alone?"
Amber eyes met ice blue ones briefly before the young male lowered his head slightly to show his respect for the other wolf. If he had accidentally intruded upon another's hunt, the very least he could do was give up and back off gracefully. He could go for a few more days like this. Afterall, he had been through worse...

Istas blinked, that's all she could do when Amber eye's were suddenly looking directly back into hers. The second thing was to flair her tail, and tip her ears. She was IsraKaiya, young or not she was not one to back down, even if she currently was far from her pack and the safety that, that entitled her too. When the male lowered his head, a sign of respect. She lowered her tail and allowed herself a breath to relax a bit, He was bigger then her, though not by much, which meant he was young too. She cocked her head the side slightly, her ears flicking back to the still rustling boar, whom was apparently oblivious of it's two hunters. 'silly prey... never paying attention...' she thought to herself before acknowledging the males comment.
"Yes...are you?" she felt slightly lame for having such a short response, but it had been a while sense she really conversed with anyone, she was still in the process of ignoring her pack, irritated with them for allowing Saorise to leave her so many moons ago. Her icy blue gaze took in his white and light blue coat with admiration, he was quite handsome... she hadn't the chance to meet another Boy around her age sense Azul, and he was more like family to her then anything. This male she'd never seen before, and from the look of his thin frame, he had been traveling a great distance. She wasn't going to back down, but she didn't see a problem with sharing this hunt. She was a pack wolf, sharing a hunt was nearly second-nature to her. "If we do this together, it will be alot easier to take that pig down..." she tossed out gently as she remained where she stood, tail at half mast, ears pricked between her new company and her intended kill.

Now that was yet another surprise. Was Itsuki's thought when he realized from the tone of Istas' voice that she was a female unlike him. He managed to keep his expression impassive however. One of those things that came easily to him as a result of Kei's teachings in the past.
Slowly releasing the breath that even he himself hadn't consciously been aware that he had been holding for the past couple of seconds, Itsuki cocked his head to the side briefly to check on the tusked boar, noting that both their presences had yet to be detected, before turning his attention back to Istas once more.
"Indeed I am." So it seemed that the both of them finally had something in common other than the hunt. Solitude. That intrigued Itsuki somewhat. This was the very first time that he had encountered another of his kind other than Kei, and it would certainly be interesting to see what kind of stories she had to share. If the lady was willing of course.
"I agree. Shall I attract its attention while you go for the kill?" He suggested as amber eyes gazed calmly at the blue pelt female.

She gave a swift nod, as her ear pricked in the pigs direction, the fact that it enjoyed playing in mud like that grossed her out, had she not been feeling so stubborn she would have stuck her tong out at that. instead she turned her gaze from the male. "I'm ready when you are. Lets do this!" she whispered, a hit of a smile in her voice. She was going to prove her pack wrong. The thought almost had her tail wagging had she not forced herself to focus. This would be a very big day for her indeed, and this male... her icy gaze slid meekly back to look at his frame again. He was young like her, that was obvious, and his scent told her he was lone. For some reason that had her sympathy pricking the back of her mind. She understood that world, still felt half in it. Perhaps after this hunt she could find out more about him... She flicked her gaze back to their prey as if she had never been watching him, though her thoughts continued down that rout.

A swift nod that almost exactly mirrored that of Istas' was all there was to indicate the albino male's acknowledgement of her accepting his suggestion before he got up to silently make his way to the opposite side of the clearing from their original position.
Itsuki's mind was entirely focused on the hunt now. He had to, given the precarious role that he had already volunteered himself for. Kei had taught him that it was absolutely unforgiveable for a male to relinquish such... dangerous roles to a female. There was a reason why males are bigger and stronger then their female counterparts afterall. Itsuki didn't quite understood what Kei had meant back then, but he was slowly starting to comprehend bits and pieces of it right now.
A surprise attack from the back whilst he distract the tusked boar with his presence. If the both of them timed this perfectly, the wild pig would fall in no time. Casting all caution to the wind, Itsuki leapt out of the bush that he had been hiding in to face his prey, snarling as lips drew back to reveal razor sharp fangs.
The hunt was on...

Istas's heart started racing the moment he left her side to stalk across the clearing from her. If she chose to focus hard enough she could just make out the glint of white in the males bright coat. She was amazed he blended so well, but then, Her alpha dragga was white too, and she... well when she hunted it was a sight to be held, if you got the chance to actually see her.
Her thoughts jumped to her throat when this male seemed to almost mimic the skill and grace her Alpha's had as he leapt from the brush, Her teeth went back as she waited her move.
---------------
The Pig let out a shrill disturbing sound as it realized it was being attacked, unlike most of the forest pray, Boar weren't usually the ones to run. Instead of taking off he turned quicker then he should of been able. Slicing out his tusk's like the deadly weapons they were, and from the scars coating his body, made more notable by the mud filling in there crevices. This wasn't his first rodeo. Itsuki was in for one heck of a fight as this enraged porker charged him, feeling that sense he was half the wolf's size he could take him. He bucked his head forward as the wolf's flesh became close enough and struck out, hoping to score a good shot.
------------------
Istas let out a low growl as the pig turned to attack her partner. That was her moment, Within the span of two heart beats her feet became like wings and she used all her lithe and grace she had as she jumped boldly out of the brush from behind the huge beast. Her fangs gleamed as lightening struck with a loud crash covering her growl when she landed, only to sink her fang's into the boars shoulder as she landed on it's back digging her claws in as well. He kicked out a huge buck at her and she jumped off, rain slipped through the branches above, causing her fur to glisten with it's moisture as she tried to aid her companion from taking all the pigs might.
(Feel free to animate the porker too =D it will be more fun that way! )

((Sorry for taking so long with the rp tag Surf! @.@))
Itsuki had hunted wild boars with Kei in the past but even so, having him take charge of the hunt and playing the role of the distractor like this was going to be a first for him. Wild boars behaved very differently from most of the prey that he was used to and from the look of things, this one was going to put up one hell of a fight before he and the young Dragga could bring it down.
The snowy white pelt male was not one to back down from a challenge though. If this hefty chunk of meat was going to come charging at him the way it was right now, let it come. He stood his ground the entire time, amber gaze watching as the wild boar came charging with its tusks to meet his issued challenge.
Anytime now...
The young Drappa almost smiled at the sight of the cerulean female making her entrance. Her timing was perfect and if it was a baby wild boar that they were hunting, it would be breathing its last by now.
Muscles sprang into action now that the preemptive strike had already been successfully carried out and Itsuki deftly leapt back from his current position, barely missing being skewered had he been a fraction of a second later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The wild pig was certainly not pleased at all, having been caught totally by surprise with Istas leaping onto its back and taking a good chunk out of its shoulder. Ignoring Itsuki's presence for now, the wild pig snorted loudly and aimed a strong kick at the smaller sized Dragga, momentarily preoccupied with attempting to get her off its back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing that the wild pig was momentarily preoccupied with getting Istas off its back, it was Itsuki's turn to strike next. The young Drappa launched himself forward with a burst of speed, his steps fleeting as he rapidly closed the distance between him and the intended prey. He had observed Kei doing this many a time during their wild boar hunts which though terribly risky, could shorten the hunt by as much as half the time and effort if he managed to successfully pull off.
Drawing closer to his target, Itsuki lowered his head and striked, razor sharp fangs clamping down on one of the pig's hind legs, ripping into flesh and drawing blood.
((Risky move but Itsuki's being a risk taker here. Feel free to have the porker give him a good kick to 'reward' him for his efforts. ^^))

Istas watched as Itsuke went for the back flank and she slid off the pigs back her head pounding from the porkers bucking. This was her move now, and as the pig was yet again distracted she went for its jugular. Sliding under and gracefully latching fangs into meaty flesh. just out of reach of his tusks but fully in range of his front hooves. she hopped he would go down before she got a good kick.
----------------------------
The boar was struggling to free it's self from it's attackers, no longer was it wanting to fight. realizing it was two against one, all it wanted was to flee. and yet that seemed to not be an option at the moment as it flailed and jumped and stumbled over Istas's attack and the lack of use on his hind leg, which was now dead. during all of this flailing he managed a good solid kick at Itsuki's side, not even realizing he had accomplished anything as his airway was choked off. Istas succeeded in ripping out his jugular and with a last few flailing kicks it fell to it's death. The rain seeming to mourn the loss of one long lived porker.
---------
Her lungs hurt, she had gotten a nice knock with a hoof, bu tit was nothing but a bruise and she proudly pulled herself away from the dead prey if only to congratulate her hunting companion.
((Ok. so pigs dead... XD and I did get him kicked in the head so choose what you wish to happen =D she could see him unconcious or bleeding or stumbling XD go for it! ))

((Yay! Dead pig! *victory dance* Itsuki's still conscious though barely as the effects of the adrenaline from the hunt start to wear off... ^^))
Itsuki had originally intended to rush in, take a good chunk out of the wild boar's hind leg, rinse and repeat as many times as necessary until the beast was sufficiently weakened to be taken down by the Istas and himself. It was only when he was latched onto the creature's limb when he belatedly realized just what he was really in for and the potential perils as he found himself virtually surrounded by an unpredictable raining down of the wild boar's hooves whilst it flailed its limbs in a last ditch attempt to preserve its own existence.
Seeing that there was no apparent way out of the fix he had landed himself in, the white pelted male proceeded to tear at the leg with a low growl, ripping into muscles and tendons as he swiftly incapacitated it. Might as well make himself useful while the young Dragga went for the kill.
Before he could cause further damage however, the wild pig got lucky with a well-aimed good solid kick to Itsuki's side, sending him flying into the nearest bush. Itsuki momentarily saw stars dancing within his field of vision. He quickly got up, ignoring the sharp pain that shot through his right flank with every movement he made and only finally relaxing when he emerged from the bush to see the wild boar take its last breath and fall. Good. It would seem that the blue pelt female didn't require his assistance much from this point on after all.
He took a few shaky steps towards Istas, a thin smile forming on his maw before he subsequently stumbled and fell on his uninjured side with a soft whine, his breathing laboured as a flash of lightning overhead revealed the true extent of his own injury. A deep gash that was rapidly staining his white pelt with his own blood...
