    Takeshi sighed. "Well, I was born deep in a forest as a rogue. My father trained us hard. We were all toms. Once we were weaned, he began to get vicious. He even killed my mother. Later, he murdered my siblings in training. I ran. I knew I could not stop until I was far away. He was a cat filled with dark rage. Then, I found a clan. I didn't stay long. Everyone betrayed me, blaming a horrible crime on me. And to think I trusted that ugly she-cat; I decided to be a rogue. I found a den, where I live now. A few times I've been stopped by some other rogues, but I can always outsmart them." He finished quietly. "And you?" He glanced back to the she-cat.

    Nibiru smirked, "I'm sure you can." She lightly nuzzled him. "The beginning of my life was much... easier. I was born into a clan. Rather small in size, but we did possess the essential positions and fighters to keep away most threats. I stayed there until the beginning of my warrior-ship. Those days were simple, nice, and... fun. Then, like every year, Leafbare came. That time, it brought a week long storm. Some drowned, some starved, most got sick. All the herbs were washed away, so everyone just kinda... did the same and died off. My brother, Onesta--, I mean Bane took me far away from them. Although knowing how to hunt, I had never actually applied my lessons to an actual target. For a long time Bane had to hunt my food and protect my a##. I never really got to thank him, because by the time he'd taught me how to properly defend and hunt... his life was stolen by a rogue coyote." Her voice seemed monotone the whole story and near the end more snappy.

    "Ah." He replied softly. Takeshi crusaded out of the hole, blinking in dying daylight. He looked back. "Just a bit farther to my place." He told her quickly, looking to her. Takeshi smiled to her.

    Nibiru returned the smile, butterflies suddenly sprouting and fluttering throughout her stomach. A small giggle escaped from her jaws as she mentally repeated his name in thought. "Ya know. I haven't known you for even a day... but I feel like we met forever ago."

    "I feel the same." Takeshi purred and nuzzled her cheek softly, pulling away and leading her to a den. He looked at Nibiru over his shoulder. The large tom shouldered away undergrowth, opening a hole. "Here it is." He gestured gently for her to go in.
