Hoku stalked through the trees and grumbled, "Stupid kids... always getting lost... I'M the one that always have to go look for them... Shouldn't the... oh, I don't know... the ADULTS look for them?!" Hoku spotted a small white flower growing amongst some leave and smashed it in aggravation. As he continued to stomp his way through the forest, Hoku periodically paused to scratch lightly on the bark of a tree near by. It was his almost fool proof way of never getting lost. He knew someday when he was older and knew the forest better he'd never get lost, but until then he wasn't taking any chances of ending up like his siblings...
With another sigh of exasperation Hoku finally sat down and sniffed about. He scented a mouse, and according to his parents, hunting a mouse is easier when you are quiet, which usually means, don't move. Hoku perked his ears and sat very quietly as the sound of the mouse crept closer and closer. He heard it from the bushes in front of him and readied himself to pounce... and make a kill.
