Great....what a predicament he got himself in this time. The grey wolf has gotten himself stuck between a two rocks....and the ground.
Earlier, Usufii happen to run into a very bad crowd. You know the kind, one that takes no excuses and wil hurt anyone. THis crowd however....was a group of rhinoes. After playing with him for a while, they stuck him into the ground, head first. Fortunately it wasn't deep and the pain was toleratable. He let out a muffled moan as he laid there in the dirt.

Korou's little paws worked their way across the plains of the baking savannah slowly. He was utterly tired from a days walk and weakened from not eating for over three weeks. His legs drug as he walked and his skin hung from his body. Korou was a walking wraith.
Shivering from the hot air on his dying skin, Korou toppled to his side from a relatively hard gust on his side. His body connected with the ground and a loud crack from one of his ribs deciding to pop sounded through the air. He sighed and looked up at the sky. Here lies a cheetah that was too much of an idiot to go home when he should have. That was what ran through his mind when he looked up there.

PhiferWolf Usu's ears, even full of dirt, he heard that loud popping noise even if the vibration didn't signal to him too. The wolf kicked around with his feet, throwing his body in every direction to get some attention. He was stuck and he can't get out.
"Someone get me out of here!" he cried out, highly doubtful anyone could hear him though. ....This sucks.

A sigh floated from Korou's mouth and he looked over at this body that was kicking around in the dirt. His eyes looked over lazily at a grey butt sticking out of the ground.
"That's not normal." He stated to himself in a semi-slurred voice.
Grunting heavily, the small, wasted cheetah picked up his body and walked over to sit beside the grey butt. "What are you doing down there?" Korou asked tiredly. Using his small paws, he started to dig at the ground around the grey butt's neck, not doing much but at least attempting to do something.

PhiferWolf A muffled voice called from above him. Who was this? Tajwar? No she would be too busy. Sesere? Why would he even care! Then....who was this clawing at his furred neck.
After a moment of sharp claws scraping away at him, he manage to get his head free from the ground. He looked up blankly at the sky. He shook off the dirt from his mane and looked around, spotting the spotted feline.
"...Hello there." he said bluntly. "Who are ya?"

"Sorry about turning your neck into a scratching post, but I didn't feel like talking to your butt." Korou said in a slurred voice. His bi-colored eyes blinked at the taller maned wolf and he toppled onto his side with a grunt. His broken rib poked into his skin and he let out a noise like a choked whimper and curled into a small ball. "My name's Korou, who're you?" He asked from his postion in the small ball on the ground.
That's right, Korou, be rude to the wolf who's neck you just scratched up. His mind berated him slightly, but Korou didn't care. His stomach was making growling noises and his skin was still hanging off of him. Not to mention the wound on his left front leg had re-opened and gotten infected. The cub was a wreck.

PhiferWolf Usufii eyed the little cub closely. He was serverly wounded and isn't in the shape to be out and about like this.
"Korou, what happened to you? You're injured." he asked, he couldn't just leave this little guy out here. If he was to be a pup care-taker wolf....thing. He should get used to it soon, but this was way too far for him to handle. He nudged him again. "Maybe we should get you to someplace safe. I know a Wild Dog that can take care of you." he stared for a moment. The cheetah was injured and Usufii was defiantly not suited to carry anything. What was he going to do....Jamaa was probably too far away and the Acacia was only a bit aways. What to do.... The maned wolf was paniking.

Korou raised an eyebrow. "I'm on my way home as it is, don't worry about me. I'll make it. My mother and brother are probably worried sick about me." His vision blurred for a moment, a side effect of the fact that his vision couldn't cross due to his blind left eye. Yawning broadly, Korou showed off his rows of sharp feline teeth that were for some reason looking rather dull right now opposed to their normal bright white sheen. "A wild dog eh? Well, I would like to meet one of those, but I'm slowly starving to death you see." He laughed jovially when his vision came back in his blue eye.
Wagging his long spotted tail, Korou smiled up at the other and yawned again before laying his head down in the dust and deciding that maybe this was a good time to take a nap. After all, he had been moving for so long, maybe a nap for like... ever, would do him some good.

PhiferWolf "Erm....well....." he had no clue what he was doing now. WHat to do what to do.... he didn't even notice himself pacing back and forth. "How about I escort you home. Maybe you need some help, y'know?" he asked. What is he suppose to do? Let him walk home alone in his condition? Oh my Mrost, what am I going to do....

"Help me home? Well, my brother my be afraid of you and my mother would kind of... stare?" He lifted his head with a long grunt and looked at the large maned wolf. "You know... I never did catch your name." He sighed and debated laying his head back down on the hot ground, but it was just too hot out here in the sun for the black and orange cub. He was roasting in his own fur and all he really wanted in the world was a drink. A nice cold drink that would probably help him the rest of the way home.
"So why was your head stuck in the ground, mister?" Korou leaned his small head to the side in confusion.

PhiferWolf " Oh...yeah, my name's Usufii'moyo. Just cal me Usu or Usufii." he sat himself down in front of the cub. "How about this, we get going to your home. However, I'll be leading." he nodded as he looked off into the distance. "We'll stop at the watering hole on the way. There we can replenish and rest." he turned back to Korou. "THen you can lead the rest of the way" he smiled. "But I'll think I'll stop before we reach your home, rather not get into in trouble." the wolf laughed. The taller grey wolf stood up and turned away, only to turn back with a smile.
"Well, come on."

"Usu then. It's nice to meet you Usu. But what were you doing down in the ground with your butt in the air? not a normal pose if I could say so." he looked up at the large wolf and smiled gently before hoisting himself to his paws painfully and slowly. He was exhausted and weary and wanted nothing more than to lay down and die, but for some reason he kept coming up with and meeting people that gave him reasons and purposes not to just lie down and die. Gazing at Usu with his blue eye for a long moment, Korou took a shaky step forward and limped a little painfully towards the wolf.
"Maybe this won't be so bad, but I really do want a drink. So I'll try and make it to this watering hole of yours." Korou said with a wink at Usu. He was trying to shake off how tired he was with himself and his life, mostly by not showing Usu that he really was.

PhiferWolf
Usu lead the way. He would walk a few paces, sit and wait for Korou to come. He was patient, he had nowhere to go for a while. Heck, if he wanted to hurt himself and the cub, he could lug him to his home. But he'd rather not hurt the pup than he already is.
"About that question; just remember to stay away from rhinoes....(especially the bad ones)" he said under his breath, rolling his eyes at the thought. He was running to the watering hole where he heard Topas was, a ratel that knew Jamaa quite well. So he figured if he got to Topas, he can get to Jamaa. If that worked out maybe he'd meet the female he heard of, Temari. But on the way there, he crossed pathes of a group of rhinoes also heading to the watering hole. Just that itself crossed them and they felt the need to knock him around and bury him.....a great place the savannah isn't it?

A laugh escaped from Korou's muzzle as he plodded slowly along at his limping pace. The story amuzed him, even though he was a very young cheetah, even Korou knew that you left Rhinoes be when they passed you. If they crossed your path you should just sit there and not move a muscle, they weren't the smartest of creatures, though they were very strong. "Well, at least they taught you that lesson, even if it was the hard way, right?" His long tail wagged brightly and he kept limping until he was at Usu's side again. "So we're going to the watering hole?"

Usu took a few paces and stopped. "Lesson, what?" he asked as haf of his attention was elsewhere. Maybe messing with a rhino isn't the best idea, but playing with them was quite the opposite even the pain was toleratable. He smiled, I think one touched me.... he sort of giggled as he thought to himself. "Come on, Korou. The watering hole is just a few more feet. It's just a over the hill." he said motioning towards a small hill about 10ft. away from them. Usu smiled as the cheetah continued to limp, he was still hanging on.
