CHIKYUU
The air was heavy with heat as summer made its presence more and more made by the day. A heatwave had hit the area recently and most creatures were smart enough to seek out a stream or the shadows of the forest. Chikyuu, however, didn't bother. This area was already cleared of most the animals because of him and the only thing left would be larger animals who knew they could take an odd creature like he. Most creatures weren't to fond of hellhounds.
Chikyuu stopped in his walking, looking towards the farm. His sensitive, pink eyes were burning due to their exposure to the sun. His dark pelt, the color of soil, seemed to draw all the attention of the fiery orb above. The middle of three toes on his front feet lifted slightly like a raptor's would as he growled lowly at the tree line to his left and right. His small ears twitched, but stayed facing backwards and his large muzzle rippled into a snarl to scare off anything that might think of drawing closer before he continued his march to the main house of the farm. He hopped onto the porch, drawing close to the door, but making sure not to trip into the hole in the porch floor. Chi squeezed through the hole in the bottom corner of the door and reveled in the darkness of the house. He was becoming desperate in his hunger, despite how little he'd been fed in the labs. Recently after the escape Atsuki had always made sure to feed him well and by some miracle he hadn't seemed to have gained any fat, keeping his muscular if not small frame. He hopeful eyes fell at the sight of the kitchen, the cabinets having been raided by the many previous visitors to this house. However, as he turned to leave his eye caught a promising sight, a pad-locked entrance to a cellar. Praying to whatever higher power (despite God long abandoning him) Chi latched his massive talons into the lock and pried.
It gave it a loud pop and with only wood left Chikyuu set to work clawing away, doing what he did best. The hellhound miner breached the thick wooden doors of the cellar and slunk down the steps without pause, despite the loud creaking of the wood. It was dark and damp in the small underground room, much like the rest of the forsaken house. He grabbed one of the many tin cans and pulled it off the shelf, dropping at his paws to poke a hole in the lid with one of his claws. He ate whatever strange thing lay within, ignoring the metallic taste of the can as he ate. Chikyuu was halfway through a second can when he felt a shudder in the earth around him. Something large was near, from the close proximity of the the source he'd say it was walking behind the house. Atsuki? No, if he were anywhere near here he would approach from the front of the house, picking up Chi's scent trail. Whatever this was it was bigger than he was and defiantly not his Aniki. He quieted his breathing as best he could, slowly turning to crawl back up the stairs, and he noticed that it wasn't one large mass but two. He'd never been trained to fight in the labs, but how to evade detection he was. There was a loud groan of protest from the wood as his weight rested on a particularly badly rotted spot. Luckily he didn't need training to know how to run like hell. He couldn't get caught inside the house because there was no where to run. In the sudden panic the hellhound bolted up the rest of the stairs and through the kitchen, desperate to make it out of the house before whatever the two were that were outside beat him to the front door.
[Enter Nyanari and Beowulf xD Then the big, bad, older brother to the rescue. *cuddles Chi* Run Forrest, run! Hehe, he's bound to look awkward when he runs with those big paws of his getting in the way.]
