Ruby was on her own, she didn't even tell anyone where she was going or let them know she was even gone. She looked like she was in a hurry to get somewhere,with her dodging every tree and rock, scaring off prey and not even stopping to hunt. She was following a familiar scent, she looked excited and was too into depth in the scent to noticed what was around her, finally she was to her destination, a two-leg next surrounded by a fence, she looked around hoping that nobody had followed her and luckily nobody did, jumping onto the fence and carefully trying to stay balanced, soon she was sitting down waiting patiently for a certain cat but she had no idea of the cats unfriendly neighbor.

Milo was sound asleep but the sound of something hitting the fence woke him up. Like someone or something jumped up on the fence. He was a light sleeper and any little noise woke him up. Standing up the black and white tom streches his limbs as he stood up and walked out from his comfy cat bed his two legs got him. His red bowl, which matched the colour of his collar was nearby and had food in it. Some consider him to be a greedy cat but that's only because he loves food. All kinds of food. His faverioute thing to do is eat. Walking over to it he was looking forward to eating it but just as he was about to familiar scent hit his nose. It was the she cat from the day before. When he left the first he felt happy and light and went straight to bed, sleeping as usual. It took him a while though. Milo quickly walked over to where the kitchen sink was and jumped up. Right in front of him was a open window and he looked out of it and saw Ruby waiting. She was beautiful. At least in his eyes. Even though he had only met her once, she made him feel some sort of happiness which he never really felt before. It was a new feeling. One which he never really felt before.Walking carefully across the sink, avoiding the water that filled it up, he jumped right out of the window landing on the grass perfectly on all fours. He looked at Ruby again just to make sure it was her and not some random cat. It was! He ran towards her in a flash and leaped onto the fence nearly falling off. "Ruby! I didn't think you'd come to see me!" He purred, his green eyes lit up at the sight of her.
-
She smiled, her ruby eyes sparkled in the sunlights rays as she looked at milo, "heh, of course I'd come silly, it's just been awhile since I've been near a two-leg nest" she spoke giggling a bit, she took a deep breath and could smell the many of different scents in, but then she smelled another scent, she soon spotted a ginger tabby, and the tabby seem to be heading towards them, she looked at milo and motioned her head towards the ginger tabby, she looked uneasy at the other cat.
-
The mention of two legs made him look back at the house that they lived in. It was peaceful to say the least but that was when he was inside. He looked back at Ruby with a shy smile then quickly looked at the other side of the fence before looking back, meeting her eyes once more. Ruby was focusing on something behind him but also gave him a hint that someone was there by motioning towards whatever it was. Then he got the scent of Prince, that annoying ginger tabby that constantly complains about anything and everything. The one cat that he always trys to avoid at all costs. With the fight they first had a few weeks ago he would of though that it would be enough to send a clear message to stay away but this dumb cat finds every excuse to start an argument or fight. Milo turned attention to Prince who walked across his fence towards them both. "Oh, great." He growled under his breathe, but it was clear enough for Ruby to hear. Prince stopped at where his fence ended. Even though all the fences were connected, it was obvious who's garden was who's and he stopped where the fence split into two gardens. The ginger tom, who had a more fancy looking collar stared at them both, and studied both their faces. "You made friends already? That's supriseing. I didn't expect you to even make any with your aggressive nature." The arragont cat mowed in an attempt to embarrass him. Before the black and white tom could answer, the dumb feline already moved on to asked Ruby questions. He had such an annoying personality and was a know it all. And a 'I'm better than everyone else because I get what i want'. "And who may you be?" Prince then asked Ruby in a demanding way sitting down, but his golden eyes had curiosity within them.
-
Ruby ears lowered when hearing the annoyed tone as the other cat came closer to them, then the other cat tried to embarrass milo, she was about to defend milo until the tom asked her a question in a not so friendly way, her friendly expression turned into a sort of scared/aggressive tune. She took a deep breath looking at milo in confusion and fear, showing she seemed to be very confused and scared, now answering the other toms question, her tone seem to show she seemed defensive and fearful, "I am rubyheart, or ruby for short, and I'm a warrior of thunderclan, and who are you hmm?" She stared at the other tom, her ears lowering, and her claws slowly slidding out.
-
"I'm Prince, if you must know." The tabby replied watching the she cat carefully, ignoring her fearful body language. "So, Ruby is your name huh? Who do you live with?" The questions kept on coming. As usual, Prince had to interrogate other cats just for his own nosey sake. Milo's ears flatten ready to attack. He was already annoyed by the cats presence and dug his claws into the wood beneath his paws and watched as the tom jumped off of the fence then back onto it only on the other side and walked over to Ruby. "You are in need of some good food and care. You look like you have mange. You should see my place. It's much better than his." He meowed giving a filthy look towards Milo. Prince stared at Ruby in thought. "Wait." He said in suspicion. "Your one of those clan cats arn't you? You are not supost to be here. I've heard plenty of rumours about your uncivilized tribe of dangerous bandits." He growled stepping closer towards the she-cat with every intention to attack. "Get away from her!" Milo snarled walking over to where Ruby was. He watched the whole thing and couldn't help but interrupt. She was already scared as it was and he didn't want her to feel worse. His fur was stood on end as he growls deeply for him to get away before things turn bloody.
-
Ruby fear instantly turned into aggression, her fur started to fluff up as she glared at prince, "how dare you! First you insult me, then you insulted milo, and you insulted my clan!" She snarled aiming as she swung a paw, claws out but missing by only a few inches Her ruby eyes blazed with rage but mostly her entire body showed nothing but fear, and she was shaking a bit, as the tom was getting to close for her comfort.
-
Prince hissed launching himself at her, making both lose balance on the fence and fall off of it, his claws dug into the she cats skin as he growled, pinning her down and sinking his teeth into the upper part of her shoulder.
Milo felt helpless watching the attack but couldn't do anything about it. It wasn't his fight but he wanted to protect her. But then he watched, waiting for a chance to stop it. It may look like he's witching carelessly, but .was actually planning what time was best to jump in.
-
Ruby let out a hiss as she aimed to kick prince off of her, and try to do an old trick, she started to move around in a circle as fast as she could, hoping to confuse the tom She hadn't used this move in so long it was for the best, and if the tom was being confused she would slam right into prince in the side with great force, shoving him on to the ground she snorted, she wasn't afraid to fight back with teeth and claws, and she was going to show the ginger tom who's boss.
-
Prince was kicked off and ended up falling over again but quickly stood back up baring his teeth at her in pure annoyance and hate. Milo watched with wide eyes as the fight continued. His dug his claws into the wooden fence to release some anger which was taking over the more he saw the battle between the two cats. Prince watched as the female went into a circle and was confused about such a tactic. "Like that could hurt me! You think your so tough because your belong in some sort of clan, but your not! You couldn't fight even if your life depended on it! You pathetic little rat! Your going to regret causing this fight!" He hissed, preparing to leap at the female again only this time to cause more damage than before.
-
Ruby dodged the tom and swiftly jumped onto the ginger toms back her claws sinking in the toms flesh, and soon was biting the toms spine, and shaking her head from side to side, feeling blood touch her tongue She was in full aggression mode, she wouldn't let this flea-bain prince insult thunderclan.
-
Prince yowled at the sudden pain and quickly spun around trying to get her off and rolled on his back kicking her away once manageing to get out of her grasp he then lunged fowards using his front paws in an attempt to push her to the ground. the tom then swiped his claws across her face, puropusly near the eyes in attempt to blind her digging them right in while sinking his teeth into the back of her neck once getting a better grip. He didn't stop biting until he felt the blood drop down from his mouth and the warm feeling of blood seeping though the wounds he just caused by his claws.
-
Ruby yowled in pain and stumbled, as she looked at milo begging for him for some help, as she tried to rolled on her back but the ginger tom was much larger then her and was winning, but of course she had to try, so she twisted her body and managing to grab the toms left leg and using all her strength to rip off the tom off of her back and throw him away from her, then looking at milo she jumped up back onto the fence her ears lowering and her eyes showed nothing but fear and exhaustion.
-
Prince stumbled back as he was again kicked off. Snarling he took a step foward with blood dripping from his wounds. Milo looked at Ruby regretting not helping her. He thought she could handle it. But no. He gave her an 'I'm sorry' look before finally deciding to jump in before the situation got any worse. Quickly Milo leaped off from the fence, his claws were out and he was furious. Prince looked up as the black and white tom landed on him. Before the ginger cat could even react they were both tusseling along the grass, scratching and biting at eachother. Milo pinned the idiotic cat down and let his teeth sink straight into Prince's throat. Prince managed to kick him off and raked his claws across Milo's flank. He let out a yowl of pain as Prince then took off over the fence and back into his house. Milo limped back over to Ruby and jumped up onto the fence with more struggle than usual. He was full of wounds and blood. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't know that he would even start a fight with you. I should of got involved sooner." He meowed with a sad tone, trying to ignore the pain and discomfort.
-
"Its ok, at least you helped me, and it's all I could for ask right now" she smiled licking one of her wounds, she looked at milo and frowned "and sorry for causing the fight in the first place but don't worry I can fix this just stay here" she spoke racing off and coming back with a mouthful off cobwebs and herbs, smiling as she jumped back up on the fence and started putting yarrow on the wounds and putting cobwebs over the yarrow "this might hurt a bit but it'll help" she spoke smiling.
-
"It's okay. That idiot deserves it." He replied and watched as Ruby then rushed off and came back with some things from the forest. He wondered where she went to for a moment. "What are you doing?" Milo asked confused about what was going on, still doing his best to ignore the throbbing and the pain from his wounds. Then he felt it. The stinging pain. It must be from that stuff what was just put on. He tried not complaining about it. "It's fine. I can deal with it." He winced looking at her. "Thanks for helping me out."
-
"Fixing you wounds, we used cobwebs to stop the bleeding a yarrow is a herb for treating wounds" she spoke smiling then drowning when milo told her he was fine, "no if your two legs see this they'll go nuts and maybe take you to the cutter" she spoke as she finishes treating his wounds, she turned to hers "can you help me? I can't do this alone" she spoke trying to get the herbs on her back wounds, but was having a bit of trouble, "if my clanmates see me like this they'll be asking questions of where I have gone and I don't want any of that" she sighed.
-
"Your right. I dont want them finding out..." he said thinking about how they would react so to seeing him in such a state. He picked up the herbs with his teeth and then placed them onto the wounds on her back. He looked up at her after putting the herbs on her wounds. "What will you say happend if they ask? They will want to know the truth. What will your excuse be? Your wounds look a mess." Milo then began thinking of excuses to use but most of them were useless. He never knew random plants as well as other things from the forest could help with wounds. He sat in thought for a moment before speaking again. "...You'll have to go back eventually though and then what would you do? They will notice the wounds on you they are hard to miss." He said looking over at her.
.
-
"I'll just say I've gotten stuck into some thorns, and kinda panicked" she didn't seem so sure but she was willing to get any excuse she sighed and winced at the stinging of her wounds "don't worry we have a medicine cat that'll fix my wounds, this isn't the worst kind of wounds since I've left bloodclan..." She paused sighing as her ears lowered.
-
He sat next to her with a sad look on his face while looking at over not really sure what to say. Bloodclan is where recived many scars and not to mention a torn ear. Many bad memories were there but that was of the past, a long time ago, which faded away when he joined the two legs. Since then, he's become so comfortable with living with humans he's forgot about most of it. It will always be at the back of his mind though and will remind him every now and then that it isn't so easy to forget such traumatic events. "Your magic herbs are working already." He meowed trying to change the subject. Maybe talking about something different would lift the mood. He smiled, then looked back at the two leg nest. "So...do you wanna know what it's like to be a kittypet? I'm sure you'll find it weird since your life is completely different to mine but at least your willing to look on an outsiders perspective." Milo then slowly turned around and insted of jumping down like he normally did, he used his claws as he made his way down the fence, one paw at a time only jumping down from a very short hight. He limped a little away from the fence, still feeling his wounds throb and ever so often a sharp stabbing pain which come and go in waves. His pelt was blood soaked and it wouldn't be supriseing if Ruby's fur was too. He then looked back up the fence and waited for Ruby.
