Quickly from the ground a black creature lunged out in front of the wild dog.
"Ai Lassy!" he called out. He stopped and curioously looked at the canine in front of him. "Ai, you're not Jamaa." he said with a puzzled look.

"Over....-cough-....here, Topas." he growled still on his offensive. The blood flowed more freely from his wounds.

"What the bloody hell happened to you!?" the small creature. ALmost immediately after saying that he shot around and attacked the stranger with his head, just pushing him. "Why you bloody little lad!"

"Alright you two, come on, let's go." THe shadow of a short, svelte animal loomed out from behind Jamaa, like he appeared from nowhere. It was Goma.
"Jamaa, it's time for you to go back to your pack. I'd rather go there myself to tell Temari that you almost got yourself killed." he started glaring at the taller animal. "Ratel, you take him back, or should I tell Jini that you got yourself hurt trying to help a wild dog?" he threatened. It seemed that this jackal knew EVERYTHING. "Would you both like to lose your mates?" he grinned.
He turned his head to to Dafina. "ANd you, you go back whereever you came from. And just make sure to stay away from Jamaa. Got it memorized?" With that he started to motion the two friends away from the scene.

Jamaa limped along as Goma walked along his side and Topas not too far behind. He shot a glance over his shoulder and then mouthed a sentence.
"Until we meet again on better term...."
