xx.the sun is rising

[Ninjaheart]

((OOC: Mm, yah. Me, Checkmate, Silentmaw, open thread hop on in~))

Ah, this was the LIFE. In the days that had followed with the fight with the dog, Ninjaheart could only feel herself getting better and better. It didn’t hurt that the cats of Risingclan were liketotallypwntasticandawesome! The little orange cat had grown fond of the clan, but even as attached as she was growing it pained her too, because it reminded her of Wutaiclan, her home. She was gonna have to get back there soon, before the others thought that she poofed off the face of the earth.

There was a war coming to the valley tho. Ninjaheart knew this as well as any other cat, and she had already decided. To repay Risingclan for their kindness, she would fight as a warrior for them. She hadn’t told the leader, Kestrel, yet. Nor had she told her dear friends, Checkmate or Silentmaw. She had enough faith in the tom she stalked likemad that he would be able to tell something on it, but it would be hard to tell Checkmate. She didn’t want to drag him into something he didn’t want to be involved with.

Instead, the little she-cat plunked down into a lie outside the medicine cat’s den with a large yawn, rolling onto the side and nuzzling the ground with one of her chainsaw purrs. PuururrrRrrrrRRRRRrrrrrrrrr. Life was really nice here. Peaceful. Like the calm before one of those earth-shaking storms.

Big ears perked as Checkmate opened his eyes lazily, hearing a familiar motor-boat purr. He was napping in the shade, sprawled out on his stomach, looking all leggy and lanky. He raised his head and wove to his feet with another jaw popping yawn. After a good stretch, he padded over to Ninjaheart, looking around for Silentmaw- the tom wasn't usually far away.

He sat and then assumed a meatloaf shape near Silentmaw's nose and watched her with half lidded eyes. Now that he was more or less healed, he was getting restless- clan life seemed to barely be agreeing with the independent tom. He wasn't sure he wanted to get involved in their little war. But Rogue valley was likely to be caught right in the middle, and he wasn't sure he'd have any choice, really.

[Ninjaheart]

“Issa nice day, huh Checkmate?” Ninjaheart proclaimed, and asked, loudly as she rolled onto her back, lightly batting the air with her front paws. Her eyes, bright yellow laughing eyes, were only half open as she basked in the sunbeams. Oh. Niiice. Nicenicenicenice. The little cat was in her happiest state of mind that was for sure. Finally she rolled back over and POUNCE! A little orange had pounced on her relaxed friend, Ninjaheart draped playfully across Checkmate and nibbling at one of his ears. “Let’s play fight. Or sooooomething cuzNinjaheartissabored!”

[Onyxdart]

Checkmate was, if he wasn't mistaken, under play attack! He flicked one ear back at Ninjaheart, since he couldn't do much else, and laughed quietly.

"That wouldn't be very fair. I'd win," he said matter of factly, though at the moment he was pretty well pinned under the smaller she-cat. He didn't feel like exerting the energy to buck her off just now. In fact, even as he spoke his eyes were half shut.

[Ninjaheart]

“You like so totally keep dreamin’ buddy boy! Imma the Great Ninjaheart! Likewoah, no one can beat me!” Ignoring the fact that not too long ago she had taken a nice flight courtesy of a canine, that it. But it was good that she was feeling so much like herself again. A quiet Ninjaheart was…a very scary thing to behold cuz the little cat wasn’t even quiet when she was angry or hurt. Ninjaheart pretty much used Checkmate as a furry pillow, although yellow eyes were eyeing her dark companion, Silent maw. ‘Hm…’ But she didn’t disturb him, not yet, she wasn’t through with Checkmate yet! “I’m still booored! Entertain me!” Nibble, nibble. It was probably better that she left it up to the tom to make the decision what to do, which game to play, etc. Cuz a bored Ninjaheart was a reckless one, and she might just start causing trouble.

[Onyxdart]

"Silentmaw looks awfully bored. I suppose we could go bother him a bit," Checkmate said, and then yawned. He sighed, and then stood and bounced a couple times with his shoulders hunched just to make sure Ninjaheart had fallen off. His tail flicked a few times and he whipped around on a hind paw and chased his tail for a second, spinning on that one paw. Then he stopped and looked at Ninjaheart with a grin.

"Then again, you might win. You can fly, after all," he remarked.

[Ninjaheart]

“Awww, just a bit?” She flashed them a truly devious look, but Checkmate had stood up, sending the little cat rolling with a loud SQUEE! since she hadn’t been holding on at all that well. Oh well. She had rolled right back to her paws deftly, giggling loudly. That had been fun! Maybe she should pounce him again and let it happen again. Okay, so Ninjaheart was totally acting like a hyperactive little kit, but who could blame her? She had been stuck hurt in that den for a while, unable to do anything. Oh gawsh, just think of all that pent-up energy? The little orange ninja kitty bounded forward after Checkmate’s tail, chasing it around a little bit until she was breathless. Even then, she couldn’t help but to bound around the area a few time, inquisitively examining anything for it’s fun factor. “You mean glide, right? Iffa it was a flight then that flight had been a bit short-lived!” She looked up, mischievousness dancing in yellow eyes.

[Onyxdart]

Checkmate stood with his feet planted, watching Ninjaheart intently with light, light yellow eyes. He jumped forward, and sailed right over her head, landing on her other side and turning to headbutt her in the shoulder.

"You're it!" he cackled before turning and tearing off towards Silentmaw. He vaulted clear over the other tom and assumed a gallant pose on his other side, one paw up and his tail like a banner behind him.

[Silentmaw]

Silentmaw wasn't getting attached to the clan like Ninjaheart was nor was he showing signs of discomfort. It was normal for him to be like this and the orange she-cat knew it, too. He was laying down with his front paws folded under him. His head was laying on the ground as he was once asleep until Ninjaheart started complaining about being bored and talking to Checkmate on what game they should play. Yellow-green hues opened as he perked his head up to look at them. Silentmaw truly wish not to be apart of any game they wanted to play. He yawned before Checkmate bounded over him after the game of tag began. "Leave me out of this childish game," he stated to the both of them, shifting his head from the other tom to the she-cat as a warning.

(My Tyson Tomko muse is filling in for Vincent muse as he's still MIA. xD;; Not bad for his first attempt. *hugs Tyson muse* You're not being lazy now and he's silent but not the brooding type. :3)

[Ninjaheart]

Ho’snap she was it! OMGyayness! The little orange cat flicked her tail right to left; back to right again, yellow eyes moving between the two toms. Ah! Silentmaw had woken up! Eeeeeeeeeeeee awesome! She bounded forward even tho the stoic tom said clearly that he wanted to be left out. Pffft, when did she ever leave him alone? Ninjaheart was all stalkee of Silentmaw, after all. The little cat purred loudly even as her paw flashed out, bonking Silentmaw lightly on the head. “You’re it Mr. Grumpy!” What? There wasn’t anything wrong with having a little fun was there, and she was damned if she was gonna not include him in her and Checkmate’s game.

[Onyxdart]

I hate to ruin our fun, but.

Checkmate had his head down as if he was going to charge and run into Ninjaheart. Then he stopped, looked past her, as the clan... left? They left very few behind.

"Hey, guys. They're leaving. Look," he said, motioning with his nose in the direction of the troop of cats. Had their war started, then? He tilted his head to the side and squinted, thinking. Then he looked from Ninjaheart to Silentmaw in question. He wasn't waiting for someone to take the lead- he was simply waiting to see what the other two were going to do.

[/size][/center]

By all means, if you want me to go back and wait a little to ruin our fun, I can do that, but if either of you are going, we should get off this thread and on the war one. Checkmate's going to go, but not right away.

[Ninjaheart]

((OOC: Ninjaheart's gonna leave with Checkmate. I dunno iffa Silentmaw's gonna come or not.. *waits to post*))

[Lazy Xana]

(Technically, none of my cats are in the war. So Silentmaw is going to be staying behind as to not get involved in something that does not concern him.)
