(( This RP is open for everyone~ <3 Though, its encouraged for a few leopards to show up. xD ))
A dark silhouette makes its way silently through tall grass, there was a small group of gazelle, but on the other hand, they were nice and plump, well fed not having so many members. The huntress is rather near a male. He was a good target, actually. He had just lost a fight with another male, so he was obviously tired-- and wounded. A little closer, and that silhouette started a sprint, leaping out of the tall grass, revealing to be a leopardess. She was dark pelted, brown, with lighter spots, each of them with a dark outline. At her ankles, these spots ceased, forming a darker brown, and then white toes. She had a darker blotch over her nose, and a white underbelly, leading up to her nose. Her eyes were orange, with dark colors around. Her moves were swift, and she had ease predicting her preys moves, a hunteress, indeed. It wasen't long before the female had leapt upon, and easly overpowered the gazelle. Soon, she was lying upon a dead body, caching her breath before she were to move.
The leopardess was in the pridelands, near the borders where it greeted the mistweavers, where she planned on taking her prey. Here there weren't too many trees, and lots of lions, but over there, many treees, fewer lions.

Nearby, a white leopardess with gray spots and intensive red eyes was resting in a tree. It was one of the few trees in this area that could give her some shadow, and she needed to rest after her hunt earlier. As she was lying on a branch with her eyes closed, she heard how the wind made the leaves rustle around her. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a noise not far away woke her up. She immediately sat up and looked around. At first, she couldn't see anything, but after a while she noticed a gazelle being attacked by someone. She didn't know by what or who, because all she could see was a dark shadow. She waited until she couldn't see the gazelle move anymore before she gracefully jumped down from the tree and walked towards the place where the gazelle had been killed. She was unsure of what she would find, so she walked as quietly as she could, this was something she was very good at.

By the time the other leopard starts to approach, the first had already been dragging the carcass. She was headed further than the tree, as it was too short for her to safely hang her meal, but the other leopardess was good, Karama haden't heard her, untill she was very close. The small rustle of the grass, hitting eachother as the other moved had given the position away. She stops dead in her tracks, gently placing the gazelle's head down as to not make noise, and ducking low near her prize. She knew that if a lion, hyena or, depending how large, cheetah, she woulden't be capable of keeping her meal, the wind had carried the blood smell in that direction, but if a leopard.. She might even be able to deal it out; leopards were mighty creatures, she had no regret in being one aside from the weakness of her species. But they did have intellingence, and if this was like se, they could share; the leopardess wasen't too hungry, after all.

The white leopardess had been sneaking closer in the tall grass, when she realized she couldn't hear the other creature drag the gazelle anymore. She stopped immediately, trying to see or smell the carcass. She could still smell it, it was somewhere close. She crept forward, almost touching the ground with her belly, while looking from side to side to try and spot the other creature and the carcass. Suddenly, she saw a bloody trail on the ground, clearly from a dead or seriously wounded animal. She crept closer and smelled the ground where the trail of blood was. The scent of blood made her drool a bit, even though she was not hungry. On the ground were also some footprints, probably from another leopard. She lifted her head to try and look at the surroundings. The trail of blood lead to the left, so she started creeping again and followed it. She had only walked a few steps until she noticed the bloody carcass lying on the ground. She stopped and waited. The other animal had to be close.

And that same scent of blood on the wind had reached the black nose of a third leopard, stilling his purple-ringed tail and raising his bright ears. Eyelids snapped open to reveal startlingly orange eyes, and the adolescent male let a soft, dark chuckle bubble to his lips.
He could hope that the kill had been made by someone weaker than himself...someone the leopard could overpower or frighten away. Or even simply accost. Maluuni'samio had a sense of self-preservation that was not entirely intact -- a little risk was only more thrilling to this trickster. It even surprised him sometimes that he was still alive.
Shaking off the last vestiges of sleep, he descended from the tree he'd been napping in, and began a stealthy jog in the direction of the blood-scent.(( My boy~ biggrin ))

This one must be dumb, thinking Karama would just sit and wach it approach. At the small sight of movement, the leopardess leaps out of the grass, standing over her meal and eyeing this carefully-- her careless apearance was thanks to the others species, and she also wasen't great in size. "Greetings. " She sais this as kind as her voice manages, wich isn't all great; she sounds more anoyed, if not intentional. With a small snort, the dark pelted leopardsteps a few back, before sitting down. She'd see what this one wanted, then go move her prey. She wasen't aware though, that soon there's be more company, and maybe one more.. Troublesome than this leopardess; might be a lion or something. If only it weren't upwind..
(( Edit: A very pretty boy~ xD ))

Jumu watched the other leopardess sit down behind the carcass. "Hello" she replied. She watched the leopardess with the dark pelt carefully, to make sure she was not going to attack her. Jumu looked at her and smiled. "I am Jumu. And you are?" When she said this she avoided looking at the carcass, trying to show her that she was not there to steal her meal. She didn't want to end up fighting with someone, not today.

Drawing ever closer, the third began to catch the sound of voices on the wind as well, and the scents that suggested the owners were leopards. Interesting; very interesting indeed. Leopards cooperating, perhaps, or was there someone else with a mind to kill-stealing today?
The dark male was being quiet, very quiet -- he wanted to get a look at the others before they got a look at him. So he moved at a crouching lope, finally pausing behind the trunk of a tree. Vantage point gained, hopefully without notice, he peered out from behind the tree to see what he could see.

Could she really trust this one with her name? Not that it mattered much; but in a way, it could matter a tad. "Karama. " She sais simply, before getting to her paws and grabbing the dead Gazelle by its throat, lifting the head. She should start moving it, as to not loore any predators. But, not being so rude as to just leave this female sitting around with possible questions, she waits for her to say anything. Still, the male had gona unoticed, eccept for a little chill that gave her that tingling feeling of 'being wached'.
(( Edit: Till FMD comes back, she said Jumu can just.. Sit/follow quietly, so you can post if ya want. xD ))

Jumu watched as the other female lifted the gazelle's head, possibly to take it somewhere else. Jumu got up on her feet as to show her she intended to follow and that she did not mind if they walked a bit. She really had nothing else to do, and she enjoyed having someone to talk to once in a while. Jumu looked at the surroundings while she waited for the other leopardess. When a tree caught her eye, she thought she got a glimpse of some orange eyes looking at her. But when she looked again, they were gone. Jumu shook her head, thinking it must all be in her imagination, and turned her attiention towards the leopardess again. What had she said her name was again? Karama? She had never heard it before, but she thought it was a very beautiful name. Perhaps it had some kind of meaning? She knew some names did, like her own. While she thought about this, she took another look at the tree. She could not see any eyes there this time either.
(( Sorry for the late reply, but my mother didn't want me to be on Gaia today. Since I was online most of the day yesterday XD; And now it's getting kinda late too, but I wanted to reply at least :3 It's ok if you decide to continue without me if I'm not here. Jumu can sit/follow quietly, as wooga said X3 heart ))
