[Open]A Reason to live.

Kohano ran through the forest, looking for food. Suddenly a thrist for blood filled his mouth, making drool drip. The presense was of a great animal. Suddenly, a bear appeared. Pouncing at this bear, he took a bite and span around. This was a anceint technique used to take down bears, only to be used by great warriors. The bear, scared to death ran off into the dark end of the forest.

As he continued to walk she noticed humans having a picnic with a dog. This dog seemed to be an "English Setter". A while back Kohano met many breeds of dogs in an animal shelter, only for a visit. He took one more step, ending up stepping on a branch. The Setter spotted him and began to bark. He then noticed the humans having guns. Kohano quickly ran off deeper and deeper into the forest.

Randomly, a racoon threw rocks at Kohano from a tree. He normally was very kind towards other creatures that weren't his prey but somtimes there were exceptions. Jumping into the tree, he attacked the racoon making it squeal for help. After a few minutes, the racoon's squeal faded as in he was dead.

Shinwa

Shinwa lazily padded through the forest, his purplish eyes half closed, as the rare rays of sun that found their way through the trees played a weird light game on his purple and blue coat. It annoyed him somewhat, that the snow wasn't falling at the moment, for the German shepherd and Border collie mix loved the snow above all else. He loved it maybe as much as he loved fighting. But, he had no luck today, as the day was sunny and worm for this period of the year. He looked around, searching for anything but dull toll trees that surrounded him, anything that would catch his interest, that would make his day. But as The Blue Ghost saw nothing out of the ordinary, his nose caught the faint scent of blood, and instantly, the eyes that were empty of all emotions but boredom lit up, his head raised high, as he tried to decide which way it was coming from. There was obviously not much blood, or it was extremely far away, but Shio was determined not to let this chance for some actions slip through his paws. Nodding slightly to himself, he turned right, crouching down and then darting forward at top speed, afraid he might lose the scent before he got near enough. His body moved with ease, his paws barely scratching the cool ground beneath him, as he kept his eyes focused in front of him as not to trip and break his neck. The thick and long fur, combined with warmer weather and running, made him too hot to continue at this pace so he slowed to a light run, now sure of his destination. He wasn't far.
Sliding to a stop behind a bush, he curiously looked around searching for the source of blood. He soon noticed a few drops fall down a nearby tree, and his eyes trailed the line of the tree, until they finally rested on a strange dog with a raccoon hanging limply from his jaws. It was dead, as it seemed, and it was what he smelled. The blood of a raccoon. He smirked at this, for he had hoped it would be something more interesting. But, no, he wasn't disappointed, for the white-orange dog that held it's pray seemed like a good enough distraction to him. Deciding to make his presence known, he jumped out from behind the bush, standing now just below the tree he could see the other dog on. It had never been Shio's style to be polite and patient, so he wasted no time on waiting for the male to address him first. He barked, confident it was just the right thing to do "Hey, ya! Nice ta meet ya! I'm Shinwa, but ya may call me Shio, for short! Wanna Come down and tell me your name, ha?!"

Kohano heard a rustle behind him, then suddenly a dog appeared out of no where. As he introduced himself, he immedietly responded. "My name is Kohano, but people call me Kohan. What are you doing in thease parts of the forest?" He asked. Though of course he then wondered why himself that he is in thease parts of the forest aswell. Suddenly, a spark lit up his face with an idea in his head. "Hey, are you in a pack by any chance?" He asked.

A pair of wolf hybrids walked side by side silently through the forest when they heard a voice from beyond some bushes.

The male hybrid went forward followed by his mate,the dark brown/tan male stared at the two males.the brown female hybrid smiled at the canines.Waiting for her mate to speak to them or for the canines to say something to them.

Shinwa didn't have to wait long for the dog to respond, as he did so almost immediately: "My name is Kohano, but people call me Kohan. What are you doing in these parts of the forest?" Shinwa narrowed his eyes at Kohan as he was still on the tree, which meant he had to look up to speak to him. He hated looking up at anyone, for even the slightest representation of authority bothered him immensely. But he soon got over it as his new friend seemed to have nothing but good intentions, so he spoke in an even, friendly tone that was perhaps just a tad bit too loud: "I have no reason for being here, well, I have no reason for being anywhere for that matter.... But I just couldn't find a way out of these damn woods, it's all the same! It's far too dull for my tastes.... Oh well, not everyone can get what they want." It felt good to vent a little, for the uneventful past couple of days irritated him and made him want to bite someone. He perked his ears as Kohan spoke again with more interest this time, it seemed he got an idea suddenly: "Hey, are you in a pack by any chance?"

"No, no I'm not, unfortunatelly.... I would like that thought, the company would be good. Are ya looking for a pack to join? Well, if you are I'd like to come with ya if that's 'k?" Shio responded with a dose of excitement at his last words, for an idea of searching for a pack sounded tempting. He didn't have much time to ponder on it, thought, 'cause a rustling sound could be heard from not far away, and The Blue Ghost snapped his head in that direction, looking for the cause of the noise. What he saw surprised him a little, he had to admit, for there, just a small distance away, stood two wolf hybrids, both waiting for something to happen. The male was closer, and Shio took the time to study him. He was well built, strong obviously, but his body was still somewhat lean and it gave him the looks of a great runner, although Shio wasn't so sure about that. His multi colored coat varied from tan to darker brown that covered his ears, back and parts of his hind legs. His green eyes watched Kohan and Shio, and the former assassin shifted in his spot. He than moved on the female behind her partner, her pinkish collar catching his interest. He didn't like humans, thought them to be foolish beings with no heart for they could mercilessly kill their own kind for fun and work. The coat colored in different shades of brown matched nicely with hybrid's golden eyes, and Shio smiled lightly. He liked the weird looking couple. The searching for a pack talk he was having with Kohan momentarily forgotten, he took a step toward the newcomers, waging his tail as he did so, and spoke cheerfully: " 'ello there! Who ya two might be? Mine name is Shinwa,but ya can just call me Shio!" as usual, he spoke too loudly, and the winter air filled with the sound of clapping wings, as all the nearby birds were scared by the noise this purplish-blue dog was making.

Before Kohano could answer, 2 strange wolves appeared before them coming from the bush. "These guys must be wolves from the look of it." He thought."It seems we have guests." Kohano said, licking his chops. "Hey! Do you guys know how to get to Ohu?" Kohan asked. He heard a rumor there was a pack there. Looking up at the sky, Kohan waited for an answer to come.
