The Gods Kids...Warriors DragonClan!

Fang walked into the cave, tail swinging back and forth. It was easy to tell that Kakze was making Fang do this, but the kitty was part of his would-be-self, right? So some part of it, deep down inside, had to be coming from Fang. "Sorry." He said, taking a seat next to her.

Yuki looked up, surprise written all over her face. "For what? I'm the one who should be telling you sorry for burdening you so much."

"For pushing you out. You were only trying to help me, right?" He stared into the flames, firelight flickering over his face.

"Hai....but i always just ended up causing more problems for you." Tears glistened in her gorgeous blue eyes.

That adorable crooked half-grin crossed his face for the barest of seconds. "Yeah, but what's life without problems, right?"

"I always cause problems where ever I go it seems."

"I don't think you cause them. I think you just happen to be there by chance. Most of the time, at least." He sent her a sideways look.

"Ari---" Suddenly a large rumble asounded.

Fang's head snapped towards the roof of the cave, immedietely looking worried. "What's going on?" He yelled through the rumble. A few rocks crashed down from the ceiling.

Yuki imediately began to panic on the inside, her eyes widened with fear. She was frozen in place. Unsure of what to do.

A rock broke from the roof, heading right for her head. Fang dove, picking her up and rolling out of the way just in time. His arms rested protectively around her.

Yuki buried her face in the crook of his neck and desperately clung to him.

Fang crouched in the crumbling cave. The tremors went on for hours. Utterly silent and still, he stayed where he was and didn't move a muscle. Finally, "It'll be over soon.." He said, quietly.

Yuki was scared. She didn't understand what was going on. She had never exspirenced anything like it. The ground shook fiercely and she just clung to Fang hoping that it would all go away.

Fang seemed to sense she was totally lost. Bending his face closer to hers as to be heard, he muttered, "Have you never been in an earthquake?"

Yuki just shook her head furiously. Her mouth didn't seem to want to work right now.

"The earth shakes. It doesn't go on very long." No duh. He could have launched into a much more detailed explanation, but as we very well know he isn't the most talkative type.

Tears began to pour down her face as she clutched on to him like a life line.

For once he didn't pull away. He didn't show it, but he was nearly as scared as she was. The last time he'd been in an earthquake his mother was still alive. The quake dragged on, and on. The morning's rays began peeking through the fractured ceiling. Fang surveyed the rubble around them. He didn't move since the ground was still shaking, however.

Yuki was sobing all over him.

His face softened a bit, and he stroked her hair.


(amazing!! lol. )

Yuki continued on.

The quake ended. Fang stood, releasing Yuki. "There might be aftershocks," he warned, investigating what had gone on with caution.

She slowly nodded her head and was shaking out of fear.

Fang's cat ears and tail were still present, since Kakze wasn't anywhere near to remove them. He climbed over a pile of rocks, checking things out. "I think we can get out through here," his voice came, sounding distant and echoey.
