~Delta Clan's Den~

Lily sighed, opening her eyes and standing up. She looked outside the dens enterance seeing the dayllight. She giggled, and bounded outside the den and up to her mom. " Hi mommy" she says wagging her short tail.

Kikioko padded in the area, unsure of where she was. She looked at all the trees, and smiled when she saw a blue jay flying around. She couldn't help herself; she had to follow. And she did. As she continued following the bird, the scent of a wolf and a wolf pup hit her nose. She stopped. She wasn't sure if these wolves were friends or foes. And she knew how mother wolves are -- they are extremely protective of their puppies, so that's her evidence that the mother wolf could be a threat to her. And, the War was going on right now, so these wolves could be on their guard and attack anything that moves. Kikioko was lost in her thoughts when the blue jay landed in front of her. She shook her head, and she looked at the blue bird. It tweeted, then spread its wings, like it was telling her to follow. "Want me to follow?" Kikioko asked, looking at the bird as it took flight and continued to fly off. She couldn't help herself; she followed the bird, even when the scents of unknown wolves was in the air.

Lily smiled and nuzzled her mom back. " um-" she says but is cut off when she hears a wolf approaching. She whimpers and hides behind her mom, just as a wolf approaches them out of the bushes.

Lily nods as her mom puts her in the den. She hides in the very back corner of the den and curls up in a ball trying to sopt her scent from being carried to the loner. She always hated them, for they are known around here for killing small pups like her.  She breaths slowly and quietly, waiting for her mom to come back.

Kikioko finally saw the den, and a raven fae put her pup into the den, and told the pup to stay. She saw as the raven fae took a few steps toward her, and ask her a question. She looked up at the blue jay, which was sitting on a tree branch, and she looked back at the fae. She laid her ears back and bowed, before she finally spoke. "I am known as Kikioko, or the Raccoon. I am currently in this land because I seek peace," she responded, hoping that answer was a good one. She perked her ears, and stood back up. She waited for the fae's response, and hoped that it was a good one, and that she wouldn't be chased off.

Kikioko looked at the fae's face when she had replied, but she couldn't read her emotion. She tilted her head, and when the fae replied she was surprised. "Thank you, I would be happy to join your Clan, if that's what you meant," she replied, wondering if the raven fae had meant for her to join her Clan, if she had one. She awaited the fae's response, she heard a slight tweet from the blue jay. She looked up at it just as it flew away.

Kikioko froze when Naomi actually let her choose her rank to start out in. She thought about it for a moment, trying to think of things that she was good at. Howling? Yep, but she knew she can't help out the pack much with that. Fighting? She hated it. Hunting? She doesn't have the strength, and she hates giving the creature wounds when she does hunt. Finally, she came up with something. Her optics met of those of Naomi. "I specialize in sneaking around, or being a scout. But I don't know what you call that rank here," she stopped, then continued, "if you even have the rank in your Clan..." Kikioko looked at Naomi, hoping she had some sort of suggestion in that same neighborhood.

Lily smiled hearing her moms words and came trotting out of the den and stood next to her mom.  She looked at her mom and took in her calm posture, and then relaxed. " Hi' she said wagging her tail and looking at the fae. She looked adorable wagging her tail and she set down on her haunches, lifting a paw to straghten the flower behind her left ear.

Kikioko nodded back to Naomi, and happened to notice that her pup had come out of the den, and saw looking up at her. She smiled at it then turned her attention back to Naomi. "Sure, that works for me," she replied. She looked back at the pup, and heard Naomi introduce me to her, and her to me. She smiled again, and she was happy when it said hello. "Hello, there. Cute name you have, Lilyana," she said to the pup, whom is now known as Lilyana, or Lily for short.

Lily smiled when the fae said she has a cute name. "Thanks, you have a cool name to" she said back to the fae and then suddenly became bored with the conversation. She bowed playfully at the fae wagging her tail " Will you play with me?"

Kikioko chuckled when the pup asked her to play. She rolled over and wagged her tail. She looked at Lily, with an upside-down view. "Sure!" she said, smiling.

Lily giggled and pounced on Kikioko, landing straight on her belly. She smiled before tugging on the faes ear playfully. "Tag" she said before jumping off the fae's stomach and running to hide in a near bye bush.

Kikioko laughed as Lily pounced on her stomach and gave her a minor nip on her ear, and after hearing the word "tag" she watched as the pup run off with her upside-down view. She stood up, and acted like she didn't know where Lily was. She really did know where she has, but for the sake of playing, she acted like she didn't. She purposely looked very confused, and looked around. "Hm... now where did that cute fluff-ball go?" she wondered out loud. She slowly began to walk to the bush Lily was hiding in (still acting confused of course), and right after she passed the bush she stopped. She poked her face in the bush and yelled, "BOO!" She laid down, bursting with heavy laughter.

Lily jumped as the fae called "Boo" letting out a scared yelp. Then, seeing it was just the fae she giggled, letting the fur on her body fall back down and she laughed. Her stomach growled and she stood up, looking at the fae and making clicking noises and licking the faes muzzle. She was asking for food, but what she didnt know was, would the fae have it? The fae looked as if she hadnt eaten for days, regardless, Lily was hungry so she countinued to click and lick the faes muzzle.

Kikioko's tail wrapped around her paws as she was laying there, and smiled at the pup. Her ears flickered as, for a few moments, she could hear the distant sounds of drums. She looked at Naomi, just to be sure that everything was fine. When she saw the fae smile she smiled back, she turned her attention back to Lily. She heard a clicking sound, and she put her head on her paws. And the pup was now licking her muzzle, asking for food. But she had none. She looked down at the pup. "Let's see if your mom has something for you," she said, standing up. She looked at Naomi, then back at the pup. She gently picked up Lily with her muzzle, and trotted back over to the den. She carefully placed the pup down, and looked at Naomi. "I think Lily is hungry," she said. She would feed the pup, but the only problem was was that she hadn't eaten in days, so how could she have extra food for pups? She looked back at the Queen, hoping she had some kind of food for Lily.

Lily whimpered as Kikioko carried her over too her mom. As soon as the fae placed her on the ground she ran to her mom adn did the same thing she did with Kikioko.
