Falling in Love

[goldentail]

Drizzllekit's golden pelt shone in the morning sun. The sun warmed her pelt it felt so good. The only problem was the mud and the puddles because of the melting snow. She was looking for someone to play with.

[Burningwing]

Ravenkit lay sorrowfully on a patch of damp moss. It's musty scent and rubbery texture appealed to his emotion of gloominess. His long, spidery legs hung carelessly over the side and his gaze stared, unwavering, directly at a prancing, golden she-kit. Drizzlekit. How can she have so much fun? He asked himself. She has friends, that's why.

Raven tucked his limbs under his tufted snowy chest. His swift eyes glared longingly at her and his heart tugged at his feelings. Did he dare? Go over and talk to her? What would she want with a kit who was supposed to be an apprentice. She would probably get a mentor before him anyways...but....

" Hey" Ravenkit greeted her formally. His strong muscles held his spindly legs to his body like duck tape. " Whatcha doin'?"

[goldentail]

Drizzlekit whipped around. "Oh hi Ravenkit" she purred. "I am just looking for someone to talk to." She had never had her mother's difficulty with talking to toms. In fact she loved being around toms. She loved attention loved being admired. She was a natural at being the center of attention.

[Burningwing]

" Uh" Blubbered Ravenkit unawarely. He wasn't sure what to do or say, he was just hypnotized. He stared interestingly at Drizzlekits beautiful golden pelt that shone in the bright shafts of sunlight filtering through the nursery's tough nettle coated exterior. His eyes gleamed silver in the glittering rainbows of light from a previous rain. Finally he snapped out of the deep trace of fascination. His own pelt held in small clumps of dirt and matted fur close to him. Instantly he swiped a quick tongue over his pelt to remove some of the chunks.

" Sorry, I just didn't expect..." he mewed silently, in embarrassment.

[goldentail]

Drizzlekit giggled. She liked Ravenkit already. "Yeah I know it's my pelt isn't it. Blame my mom she cursed me with the most dazzling pelt in the world. Funny how I never got any of my fathers coloring though" Drizzlekit meowed easily.

[Burningwing]

Ravenkit grinned good naturedly as he ripped clumps of dirt from his black pelt. After he had cleaned it thoroughly he chuckled softly in reply. His raven coloured pelt also gleamed brightly now, like the night sky lit by a full moon.

" Yes!" He laughed " What a curse!"

Drizzlekit certainly did have a sense of humor. He liked that. Then he stared in confusion at his hide of the night sky and raven's feather.

" I don't know where my pelt colour came from... I didn't know my parents.." He mewed softly, brushing his fur over with his small pink tongue.

[goldentail]

"I know what it feels like. My mom, Goldenpaw, died when I was born and I only know about her because Badgerpaw, my father, told me about her. I still miss her maybe we can help each other" she purred. She laughed along with Ravenkit. He is kinda cute she thought to herself.

[Burningwing]

Ravenkit laughed along with Drizzlekit. He tried not to stare into the depths of her eyes. He felt himself become more relaxed and found himself asking questions that just came out of the oblivion of his mind.

" Do you have any relatives?" He mewed quietly. His pelt was warming as though a wildfire had spread through its coal colour base.

// have to go so its short//

[goldentail]

"Yeah I have a great aunt still alive. An uncle and aunt and seven cousins plus my dad" replied Drizzlekit. She purred and got closer to Ravenkit. Their pelt's contrasted each other. Like light and dark.

[Burningwing]

Ravenkit also noticed the contrasting pelts, both blazing in the sunlight that broke through the thorn bush nursery. His eyes twinkled and a purr of amusement rumbled deep in his throat. Maybe being in the nursery a little longer wouldn't hurt.....but he still longed to lay on larger pads of moss in the other den.

Suddenly, he whipped around in a flash, and launched himself toward Drizzlekit, his eyes shining with playfulness. He hadn't played with another cat in ages and this was his chance.

[goldentail]

Drizzlekit jumped out of the way. Then she attempted to pin Ravenkit down. "Never sneak up on a kit of Goldenpaw" she whispered playfully.

[Meerful]

Niche stepped over into the Windclan clearing, searchign for something to do. Unlike most cats, he paid no attention to borders, he was too much like his mom. HE noticied something. Drizzlekit? He asked himself. Shakign his head, he walked into the clearing.

"Drizzlekit?" A smile spread his face, even if it didn't touch his eye. "Am I a remaining reltive?" He smirked.

[goldentail]

"Oh great starclan" whispered Drizzlekit. Her eyes widened to the size of walnuts. She backed away from her cousin. "You" she hissed.

[Meerful]

Niche laughed. "Oh come on, what harm am I?" He asked, digging his claws in the ground.

//gtg//

[goldentail]

"What harm are you?" screeched Drizzlekit. "I live my every day in a living nightmare that you, Steps Soft, Fragment, Turtle, and Meer will kill me!"

[Meerful]

It was too much, and Niche fell to the ground bursting out with small giggles of delight, gasping for air to fill his aching lungs. "Why would we kill you ?" He asked incredulously. "I mean, we are family, right? Besides, Meer's your aunt, not like, some sort of assasinator." He commented. Despite his cold sneers and take-it-or-leave-it attitude, he knew that the blood made him have to love.

[Burningwing]

Ravenkit froze his eyes almost popping from his skull. This cat was younger then him, yet they were about the same size. He tufted his fur and strut in front of Drizzlekit, his gaze hard and fierce. His black fur shone like ebony armour in the sunlight and soft sheens of white glinted off it.

"Stay away from her you!" He spat hatefully, his voice full of venom. Drizzlekit was already the closest thing to him he knew, since he had never really met anyone, and he didn't want this cat, Niche, to rune it all for him already. His eyed glinted like amber flint on fire and his tail bristled hostile.

" Sta-stay back!" He hissed swiping out with one long spidery fore-leg.

[Meerful]

Niche took one befuddled look at the cat, and again, laughed until his stomach hurt. "Wow, you guys are dense " He mewed, commenting on the black cat. "I'm not going to hurt my cousin, I have a heart... Somewhere." He half said the last part to himself. "Listen, what ever your name is, I'm a good cat, just because I don't live in a clan and because I don't follow rules doesn't make me the top wanted dead." Niche was amused by the two cats.

[goldentail]

Drizzlekit snorted. "Yes a heart sure Niche you have a heart" she hissed. She knew Niche had a heart somewhere. She stepped closer to her crush. "Don't worry Raven" she whispered in his ear gently. Her voice sounded sweet and beautiful.

[Burningwing]

Ravenkit's fur bristled like the leaves in the wind until he felt Drizzlekit's soft fur touch his. He felt a shiver run through him, dripping like icy cold water through all of his narrow bones. He stared wide eyed in shook until he finally lowered himself to the ground, mezmerized by Drizzle's melodic voice ringing through his head like the smell of apple blossums in the summer. He shook his head slightly and turned back to Niche, though still laying on the ground, he growled like he was a guard dog, ready to rip the imposer to thin shreads of fur.

Ravenkit twitched his ear toward Drizzlekit. " This cat is your cousin?" he whispered in to her golden ear.

[goldentail]

"Yes my mother was his father's sister. So that would make him my cousin though he isn't my favorite. I helped bring him up for about a week of his life until his mother took him and his siblings back" replied Drizzlekit.

[Meerful]

Niche laughed. "No, actually Sunset did. You just annoyed me, but hey, your family, so I have to visist don't I?" He meowed dangerously. "Anyway, what are you doing here... With him? You know what, I don't think I want to know." Niche curled back his lipsin disgust.

[goldentail]

"Really you know who you remind me of Niche and no not Meer. It's Splinter or Thorn one of the two. You will leave him alone" she hissed dangerously. She could be just as dangerous as Niche if she wanted to be.

[Meerful]

Niche scoffed. "You know I really don't care about your opinion, and you're not very threatening. I don't really even want to touch that filthy clanner, who knows what could be on him, I wouldn't dare let my fur touch you. That's just gross. You guys creep me out. Besides, if you think I'm like my loser father, you're sadly mistaken. I don't act all in lvoe like Splinte,r and I don't really care for blood, but Thorn did. Oh, and I have a mate now, did you know that?" Niche continued talking in a smooth voice, as if they'd been life long friends.

[Burningwing]

Ravenkit felt the soft black fur on his shoulders bristle like pine needles. He was tired off cats making fun of him, hurting him and laughing at him. Now Niche had to ask what was he doing? Doing? He was having fun for about the first time in his short miserable life! Did he have a problem that Ravenkit wanted to play and laugh and have friends that didn't taunt him and tease him in rude ways? He didn't like this "Niche" cat at all.

" Why don't you close your maggot tongued mouth!"

He growled, his gold eyes glinting warningly. He felt his insides turn at his voice, even himself seemed a bit shook to the way that it flickered like a snakes forked tongue. But he had had enough and he didn't want this loner to to hurt him or Drizzlekit, even if they were related. The one thing that Ravenkit had actually benefited from being teased was that he knew a lot of insults, not that he enjoyed making cats miserable with comments.

[Meerful]

Niche took one look at Ravenkit. It woldn't take much to beat him up, Niche knew that.

"Well, you know I might, but I really don't want to. It's too much fun reminiscing with the family. Good times, eh? So um, ur I didn't catch your name, but um, yeah. See you around, I'm sure it'd be lovely." Niche mewed, his eye glinted with challenge. He didn't enjoy beating cats up, but if it came between his pride, he'd swallow a hornet's nest.

[goldentail]

Drizzlekit saw that look in Niche's eye. "You are miserable, cowardly, and as different from Meer as night and day" she hissed. "Meer would have fought first asked questions later. She didn't care who it was. She would kill anyone if they so much as looked at her wrong. She wasn't scared of a fight like you Niche. If it had been Meer I wouldn't be standing here. If Meer had killed Goldenpaw and Badgerpaw when they fought I wouldn't be here. My mom would be out on the plains dead. You are a coward and that is all you are. You have no honor and no respect for anyone. You pretend to be a big tough cat but you aren't. All you are is Niche scared and alone. If you had a dark soul like Meer Niche you would be interesting. I can't believe that some she-cat fell in love with you but whoever it is I am sure she is just as cowardly as you are" Drizzlekit hissed.

[Meerful]

Niche raised an eyebrow. What was she talking about? "I'm confused, I'm not here to fight okay. My mom is in a delicate state right now, and I don't much care for killing. Sure, we're different, but I lead where she left off. I'm great where she's weak. Trust me Drizzle, we're different, but yet the same. Sakura, you called her weak? She is no weaker than you, wait... That's more of an insult, she's no weaker than Meer. You, you're just pathetic. I don't kill Drizzle, I like to toy with others. It's fun. Oh, and your mom is osmewhere out on the plains dead. She died giving birth to a freak like you" Niche said, daintily staring at a claw. He was never one to be insulted, he didn't care what others thought.

[goldentail]

"Yes but atleast my mom wasn't insane" replied Drizzlekit. She knew that Niche wouldn't attack. "So Niche how is you mate?" she asked. She wanted to know about her cousin in law.

[Meerful]

Niche shrugged. "my mom never id anything 'against the code'... But then again... She's not in a clan... But, yeah, Sakura's fine. I'm a lucky tom, a clanner wanted her for a mate." Niche growled a bit, his eye burning with hatred. IF he had lost Sakura, he wouldn't want to live.
