companions - Looking for LION Characters!!!!

[Ryu Arashi]

(ok this is my first rp here, so sorry if i messup ryu's char prof is in the intro post. short version hes a black panther with silver misty markings

Ryu stalked quietly from branch to branch in the dense forest, his shining fur dulled by the canopy shade. He paused for a moment, watching his prey as it sat there, unsuspecting of his presance.

Ryu coiled his haunches and lept at the bird, a large black bird, and just missed sinking his claws into flesh. The bird started and flew away, making ryu's claws slash at tail feathers and nothing more.

Ryu leaped to the ground, slightly depressed at his loss of prey, but not for long. Kiuchan, the leopard orphan ryu grew up with, lept out of the shadows and tackled Ryu. Ryu was flipped onto his back as Kiuchan bowled him over in a small atempt to get Ryu to chase him.

"Not now Kiuchan, im not in the mood. I lost another one." Ryu awekwardly righted himself and sat on his haunches, licking his paw to clean some dirt away.

"Haha, not another one Ryu? You've lost every meal this week, whats gotten into you? Do I have to feed the both of us now, or would you rather starve then accept my help." Kiuchan playfully nudged Ryu's shoulder, which was much higher up than Kiuchans.

Ryu stood 5 foot tall at the shoulder, he was exceptionally large for his kind, though he did not know why. He also had the odd silver markings, which he had not seen in another panther before.

Ryu looked down at Kiuchans attempts to cheer him up and smiled slightly at his efforts.

"Alright, Ill try again later tonight. maybe Ill fish, I havnt done that in a while, maybe my luck will have changed." Ryu softly padded over to the stream near where their den was. He looked into the water and gazed at his rippled reflection.


Kiuchan crouched down, coiling his haunches and slightly moving back and forth. He gathered all his energy and pounced on Ryu, pushing him headfirst into the stream, which was just deep enough to need to swim in.

Ryu drug himself out of the water, his silver fur swirling like crazy.
"Why did you do that Kiuchan, Im in a bad enough mood as it is. Dont make me get even with you." Ryu shook himself vigerously and sat by the water again, licking himslef dry.

Kiuchan just sat there laughing at Ryu, who at the moment looked slightly like a drowned rat.

[Seawater]

Santin sat quietly in the bushes by the stream, he was enjoyin the fact of the two cats drowning each other, bu when it stopped he had to do some thing about it, "Oh don't stop know! You were just having alot of fun!" Santin came out of his bush and his golden brown fur glistened showing off the black spots on his shoulders back and hounches. He jumped up into one of the lower branches of a tree and looked down at the bigger cats.

[Ryu Arashi]

Both Ryu and Kiuchan whiped their heads tword the new cat, their ears alert and their bodies ready to fight. Ryu's misty fur began swirling very quickly. But hearing that the new cat meant no harm, they relaxed a little and looked up at him.

"Kiuchan may have been having fun, but i am hungry and was not. I cant seem to catch any decent food around here. Though i am not too supprized, i am a little large for treetop hunting." Ryu resumed licking himself dry, his misty fur settling down to a calm, lazy movement.

"Yea, Ryu is having no luck lately. But then again hes a big clumsy oaf who couldnt catch a rat if it layed in his mouth for him." Kiuchan laughed at his own joke, not carring if ryu found it amusing or not.

Ryu looked up at the cat in the tree. "So who are you? I dont think Ive ever seen you around here before."

[Seawater]

Santin groomed one of his paws lazily then answered the question asked by Ryu, "I'm Santin, I like to cause trouble and like to watch arguments." He rolled his eyes upward as a rather large bird landed above him, "One second please." He jumped straight up, startling the bird as his small body racked down the birds stomach, instantly killing it.

He pushed it off of the branch, "I believe you're hungry, not having caught anything in a while, you can have it, I'm stuffed." He layed down across the branch so that he was still watching them, but every thing was upside down.

[Ryu Arashi]

Ryu sniffed the bird tentatively, then hungrily chomped down on it and finished it in a matter of seconds.

"Thank you, i was hungry. So Santin, you sound like you would get along well with Kiuchan, he's always in trouble with one thing or another." Ryu groomed himself clean and brushed away the leftover feathers.

Kiuchan looked at Ryu, then up at Santin. "Heh, you look comfortable." He looked at Santin with an odd grin on his face.

[Seawater]

"Oh god, Don't think about it!" He rolled back over onto his stomach then leaped down to a lower branch so he was head level with kiuchan, "So, know any games a huge panther and a likkle grass cat could play together?" He lazily batted at his nose to shoo a fly away. His tail swished as he thought a bit then he stood up and pounced onto kiuchans back, "Tag!" He jumped off and streaked into the bushes.

[Ryu Arashi]

Kiuchan whiped around, slightly taken by supprise. Ryu just sat there laughing at him.

Kiuchan stood up and burst after Santin, though not as fast. Ryu lazily followed behind, just to watch Kiuchan and Santin.

After a little while of chasing, and the only hint of Santin being the occasional glimps, Kiuchan and Ryu both stopped their chasing in a small clearing. Kiuchan panting as hard as he could, while Ryu walked lazily into the clearing, not panting at all.

"Well, he got away. Curse my slowness." Exclamed Kiuchan with a flick of his ears.

"What did you expect Kiuchan, he is at least ten times faster than you anyway." Ryu haughed at Kiuchan a little, then flopped on a low branch overlooking the clearing.

[Seawater]

Santin appeared on a branch just above ryu, "Is he always that slow?" San tilted his head wonderingly at how such a large animal could be so slow, "He wouldn't stand a chance in the suvvannah, the cheetahs are even faster then me." He hopped lazily off of his branch to the ground then put his small paw on kiuchans nose, "I rule the jungle and there is nothing you can do about it!" He looked jokingly into kiuchans eyes then trotted off to a tree, scratching his claws deep into the bark, marking an "s" shape, "There, "S" for santin!" He layed down and half closed his eyes, waiting for one of them to move towards him.

[Ryu Arashi]

Ryu haughed slightly. "He has always been a slower one, but then again he is perfect for tree dwelling life. He may be slow on the ground, but in the trees Kiuchan is the perfect hunting machine."

Kiuchan looked at Ryu, supprised by the bit of a compliment he had gotten out of him. Kiuchan looked over at Santin. "You may rule the jungle, then again your so small a simple raptor could come by and pick you up. I however cannot be defeated, unless it is by my own kind." Kiuchan flopped down in the soft jungle floor. "Whats more, is now im hungry again." He said as his stomach growled.

[Seawater]

Santin looked at kiuchan, "I'd like to see them try!" He leapt up into a small tree then swung himself up to the higher branches. He saw the most colorful bird he had ever seen in his life time, sitting there and eating the tree's fruit. He jumped up and down on the branch to startle the bird then he jumped down to a lower branch. When the branch shook the bird lost the fruit it had been happily eating and whirled on Santin.

"Gah! Stupid bird!!! Gerroff o' me!" Santin fell out of the tree with the VERY angry bird ontop of him and pecking and clawing at his face.

[Ryu Arashi]

Kiuchan rolled over, unable to contain himself and the laughter that overtook him.

Ryu, on the other hand, while finding it slightly funny also wanted to help. Ryu crouched down and leapt to pounce on the bird. He had the bird caugt in his mouth, pinned but not hurt while he debated on keeping it for food or not.

[Seawater]

(one min. brain damage has been done while at school.....)

[Ryu Arashi]

(hehe i know that one well )

[Seawater]

Santin got up from his back and shook himself, much like a dog, "That was not funny KIUCHAN!!!" His temper got carried away with him and he pounced onto kiuchan, diggin his sharp little claws into kiuchans stomach.

(Not much better.....sorry for such a short post.....)

[Ryu Arashi]

Kiuchan growled in pain from the sharp little claws, right on his soft spot too. He forced his feet under Santin and pushed him off, resulting in the claws digging a little deeper.

Kiuchan stalked off into a tree and licked the claw wounds, his playfull nature dropped.

Ryu decided to let the bird go, and as soon as he was free the bird burst into the air, leaving the three cats alone.

Ryu looked over to Kiuchan. "Hehe, you should have known better Kiuchan. Santin may be smaller, but his claws are sharp and his will is strong."
