The Make Over [kali]

[Kali]

"Yes, I am." she said purringly as Ryan nuzzled into her neck. Kali quickly licked his muzzle before he continued to speak. It made sense, and Kali had to admit, even though her dislike for this creature rose with every move she made, that snow leopard would be a great addition. But still... Kali had a hard time getting past the flirty actions made towards Ryan. She didn't like it. It made her feel jealous. She wished that she could have the big paws for stealth to impress Ryan, or the exotic coat, instead of her plain brown one. The mysterious aura that might snare his curiosity. Yes, Kali was jealous.

At that last little wink Kali jumped to her feet, silently praying that Ryan would hold her back if she did anything stupid. "I SWEAR TO GOD, ONE MORE MOVE, BITCH-" her words broke off, switching to angry roars and hisses, spits and growls. Her back arched threateningly, trying to make herself look bigger. Every hair on her back rose. Her claws shot out from her paws, digging into the earth with every step. Her tail flicked from side to side, almost as if counting the seconds it would take to suffocate her. Her fangs bared, jaws open, so that every tooth was visible. Kali couldn't control herself now. One paw after the other, one muscle working after the next, she advanced. This could end in only two ways. Apology, or war.

(i think these two could have a cool thing going on...kayla being flirty, kali hating it. But something should happen where they become friends, even if it is a tense friendship lol)

Ryan gave a small chuckle at the way Kali advanced on the feline. He moved closer to her, quickly, cutting her route off by using his body.
Now now, kitty. What advantage will we have if you harm her? hmm?
Again using his thick set body, he pushed against Kali, moving her slowly back away from the leopard. He knew part was jealousy. He knew females. Kali would be seeing the outside of the feline, the unique ice blue eyes, the snow white coat with grey and black spots...and other attractive features of the leopard. But what Kali didnt see was the inside. This female was all wrong for him, well wrong for him now. Before Kali he might have...well anyways. He mouthed the words I love you to her before turning back to the cat.
So, your name?

Kayla rolled her eyes and made a face at the mushy words and actions between the two. She always gagged at the romantic crap, hence why she was flirty with every guy, it was just who she was. But inside, she wished she had a relationship, the steady kind. She was jealous, envious, and hated her flirty ways. But she wouldnt be telling that to anyone.
Kayla.
With this little conversation in her head, she realized she was being very naughty towards the hyena in front of his girlfriend. She suddenly looked at the ground and focused on her paws, shuffling them around in the dirt. She was about to say sorry, but just couldnt get the words to reach her lips.

[Kali]

(I like that idea

Kali trudged against him as he pushed her further and further away from the white little.... thing. Kali didn't know what to call her. No insult seemed good enough at this point. But Ryan was stronger than her, and no matter her struggles, he won. So finally after a few moments that seemed like ages, Kali gave in and let him push her gently away from the leopard.

Her sharp anger was softened as she watched the words the fell from those hyena lips. I love you. She purred softly, though feeling rather stupid. She had been totally focused on the girl. She hadn't taken the time to realize that Ryan wouldn't trade Kali just because the other woman was prettier than her. He wasn't like that. She trusted him.

So instead of being silent, she raised her head so that she could whisper to him, her whiskers tickling his ear softly. "I love you too." she said, and sat back down again beside him. Still, she was forward slightly, always reminding Kayla that Ryan was hers. But she didn't flirt again. The thing seemed almost... remorseful? Maybe. Kali couldn't really tell. But it was good enough. At least the flirting had ended. Her body relaxed a bit, tail finally steady on the ground.

[Jocelyn[Spirit]]

Ryan moved his large square head between the two and glad to find that they both seemed to have calmed down. He sat on his haunches and flicked his short tail.
So, Kayla. I see we are all on the same side. How involved do you want to get? For we could use your silent feet. I got the sense of smell, you got the stealth, and well, Kali has a good everything. He knew the lil extra compliment would help Kali work with Kayla...at least a little easier.
Maybe we should get to know eachother a little more. Find out more what our strengths and weaknesses are.
He flicked a single eye to Kali, hoping that didnt upset her.

Kayla gave a cute coy smile when he complimented her feet and her stealth.
I can always get behind the boundaries, with my.um..charm.
She flicked her tail, even thought she wanted a steady relationship, she did take a little pride in the fact that almost sall guys liked her...and with a cute smile and a wink she could pretty much get whatever she wanted from them.
Guys are easy you know. They don't think with their brain, if you get my meaning.
She gave a soft musical chuckle.

[Kali]

Kali purred softly at his compliment, listening to the conversation. When Kayla spoke and smiled, she felt the need to speak. No more threats... just... confirming things. Ryan was hers. "You can charm all the little guys you want." she said, getting up and purring as she stepped under Ryan's chin, rubbing against him. "I've got myself a man." She figured that Ryan deserved a compliment too. She settled down beside him again. He wasn't like the other guys. He really was a man. He thought with his brain. And Kali was lucky to have him as her boyfriend.

"We should all get to know each other a little better." she agreed. "But not here." Kali glanced up at Ryan, wondering if they should bring her back to the cabin. There could be Hunters in the woods to overhear. Spies. But the cabin was safe... if Kayla really wanted to be serious and join them.

[Jocelyn[Spirit]]

Kayla smiled knowing that they were wondering what to do, and where to go. She hoped it was somewhere where they could transform, she for was curious to see what this Ryan guy looked liked. And Kali. She let herself start a soft purring while she waited them to discuss it.

Ryan hesitated. He turned his back away from Kayla and faced Kali, shoving her back away from the other female just a few feet.
What do you think? Shall we go to the cabin?
His face was only inches from Kali's, his warm breath making the smallest amount of mist in the crisp night air. His wiskers could barely brush against her, and being this close to her only made him want her more, right there and then. He took a step back from here, hoping she didnt take it as an insult, for it was really a compliment, whether she saw it or not. The sayings always go, you want what you cant have, and when you cant have it.

Kayla watched them, and felt a bit insulted when he turned his back on her. She gave a huff and looked away. She saw how close they were, and if anything it just made her irritated. She eyed them, watching for signs. Then it hit her in the face. The female was untouched. Innocent, really. But he wasnt. It sometimes amazed her at how much she saw in this area of life. She sniffed the air and watched Ryan. Yes. He wanted her, but how he moved back said to Kayla, that it was 'forbidden' by the cougar. Kayla laughed outloud.
You'll have to give in to him at some point, miss kitty. Or he'll go somewhere else to find it.
At the second part she let her eyes drop to herself then flitter to Ryan.

[Kali]

Kali purred as he came so close to her. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel things shock her body. She pressed her nose against his muzzle softly. But then he backed. Kali knew why. And she was grateful for his actions. It made her heart well with love and trust, as well as a deep respect for him.

"I love you." She told him softly, her voice tender and sweet. "I'm sorry." He wasn't like the other boys. Ryan was different. He was man, and he acted like one. Kali respected him for it. It gave her a sense of awe, knowing that he wouldn't pressure her into doing anything. She wanted to kiss him, but didn't want to do so only to make him stop when he wanted more.

Kali turned coolly to the leopard. "That's what you think." she said smugly. "We love each other. Obviously you've never seen real love before." Real love was different than the lust that most people nowadays were mistaking for love. Real love waits. Real love can't wait to give it, not get it. She looked up at Ryan and smiled at him. She wanted to believe that they had real love, and everything he did only confirmed that. Especially now. "And I'll only give in to my husband."

Or he'll go somewhere else to find it. Kali didn't miss that eye flicker. Her back legs flexed with power as she pressed against the ground, then pouncing high over Ryan to get to the other feline. Kali's fur stood straight up, every hair on end. She circled Kayla as if she was prey. "Let's get something straight between you and me." She growled, every word smoking with fire. "Ryan is my boyfriend! Not yours, you wretched little whore! You just throw yourself at any boy, I bet. One day you'll end up pregnant. And you know what, I won't even feel sorry for you." Kali turned her head, preparing for insult, her voice turning colder. "But, I will feel terrible for your baby. Imagine having to go through life with a town bike for a mother... What a shame. He'd probably be embarrassed of you. Ashamed of you. And he'd have every right to be. Where's Mommy tonight? She's been gone for hours! Oh, it's alright. She's just in SOME OTHER MAN'S BED!" Kali roared at her, shaking her head. "You're not going to touch Ryan. If you even think about trying, you'll have to go through me." Kali couldn't contain herself any longer. She threw herself at Kayla, claws out and ready to fight. For blood.

[Jocelyn[Spirit]]

Kayla gave an evil little grin, she had gotten to the woman and it filled her with...pride? Well, something. She sat on her haunches cooly as the insults came, she thought this was amusing. Awful huh? But when Kali launched herself into the air at Kayla, the leopard hissed and jumped back, letting her claws come out. She coiled her body and sprang at the cougar their bodies colliding in mid air. Her fur prickled all over her body and she clawed at bit at the other female, rolling around on the ground. Their fight could be heard for miles.

Ryan was shocked at Kayla's comment, just as he opened his mouth for a sharp retort, he saw a tan body fly over him and collide with the leopard. Shock kept him from moving very fast, he starred and watched as the two tore into eachothers throats. Ryan barked and growled, yelling at them to stop, but they didn't hear a thing. Ryan got to his feet and slammed his body into both of them.

Kayla flew to the side as Ryan slammed into them both, but she didn't notice. Her eyes were glued to the cougar, and before Ryan Could get in between them, Kayla had launched herself back at Kali.

[Kali]

Kali batted her paws vigorously left and right, attempting to plant every claw she could into the leopards hide. Her jaws lashed out at the female, fangs opening and closing, trying to crunch the slippery cat between them. She roared as she fought. She didn't care who heard. Her rage had peaked, and there was no turning back now.

She could barely feel Ryan's body slamming into her. She only knew that she was sent off balance for a moment, but she jumped back up, ready as ever. This girl would die, if Kali had it her way. No one talks about Ryan like that. How dare she even have the nerve to be so rude. The Hunters could have her for all she cared.

Kali absorbed the tackle, and the two began to roll and tumble. Kali didn't know but one thing. Fight. She wanted to see her bleed. Her back paws scratched at her belly, the front claws went for the head, the fangs went for the throat. But at the same time, with neither of them playing defense, she received blows to her own body. She could barely feel them now. Her anger wouldn't allow her to feel much of anything. But oh, how they would be agonizing in the morning.

[Jocelyn[Spirit]]

Kayla hissed as a blow caught her shoulder and her stomach, she could feel the claws striking against her body. Thank god she had such thick fur, otherwise the stratches would be very deep, instead of only on the surface of her skin. Especially on her stomach, the stratches didnt even bleed there. Her shoulder was the one that had taken the biggest hit. She could feel the bit of blood slowly starting to seep out. She renewed her vicious attacks on the female.
You blubbering whelp!
Kayla screamed, her dug her hind feet in the dirt and kicked out, lauching her body into Kali's. She opened her jaw wide and went to clamp on Kalis hind foot.

Ryan had had enough of this. If a body slam wasn't enough to end it, the he would really intervene. He took one more second to admire the way both of the females fought. If only they could work together on a team, they would be nye impossible to stop. He raced towards them, growling and cackling. He slammed into them again but this time immediately went to shove Kayla again, father away from Kali. As soon as she was 10 feet away, he jumped towards Kali and pinned her to the ground. She may be a deadly fighter, but he outweighted and out muscled her, brute strength is what he had.
STOP! Both of you! We are on the same side. Kayla you were out of line! Kali you know better then that!
He reprimanded both of them, stilling holding Kali to the ground, he kept his eyes on Kayla, just in case she was not done yet.

Kayla glarred at Kali, but soon looked at her shoulder, there were four long stratches down the muscles, four lines of blood. she licked it a few times before turning her head back at the other two.

[Kali]

Kali let out a roar as she felt the fangs clamping down on her ankle. She twisted and turned, trying to scratch the leopard's cheek with her back paw. But that was just before Ryan separated them again. He shoved Kayla away from her, before pinning Kali to the ground. She stared up at him in disbelief as he yelled at her. "I should know better than that?!" she repeated his words, stunned. "I warned her! And she was the one that suggested that you would-" Kali stopped there. She didn't want to finish that sentence.

She watched Kayla lick her wound, before looking down at her own body. Scratches could be found here and there, some bleeding, some not. All hurt, but the worst wound that worried her most was her ankle. Blood flowed from it, and made her paw a deep crimson. It ached and pulsed, throbbed and burned. Kali grimaced, and felt the need to lick the blood away come over her. But Ryan still held her against the earth. "Get off of me, Ryan." she said told him softly, her body slowly transforming beneath him, her arms pressing against his chest as if she could push him off, though she couldn't. She would change back once he got off of her. But being human for a moment might persuade him that the fight really was over. And it was, even if Kali didn't want it to be.

[Jocelyn[Spirit]]

Ryan let his breathing calm down and only glarred into Kali's eyes when she made the comment about what Kayla had suggested. It infuriated him that she would let that get to her, that she, maybe even played with the idea it might happen. It wouldn;t an he wished she knew that. He saw her body slowly starting to phase back into human Kali. He looked over his should and saw Kayla was doing the same thing, phasing back while still cleaning some wounds. Ryan took a step away from Kali, getting off of her before he to let his body change.

When he was fully human he stood up and made sure his body was between the two woman.
We'll need to go to the cabin for sure now. To get you both cleaned up. And I think we all need showers.
He didn't say that if they each took their turn in the shower, two people would always be alone together. Whether it was Kali and Kayla, who might fight again, or Kayla and Ryan, which might irritate Kali.

He ignored Kayla as he turned to Kali. He didn't say anything, didn't look her in the eyes, just bent down to look at her ankle and other wounds. Without looking at her he said,
I don't care what she said, you overreacted. You could have held your cool better. You know why? Because you know, that it wasnt true.
He spoke in a hushed tone so Kayla wouldn't over hear.

[Kali]

Kali looked away when he glared at her. She didn't like it when his soft eyes filled with anger. She wanted to see him happy. Half of her wanted him to be proud of what she did. The other half agreed with him.

"I couldn't have held my cool." she argued. "I warned her. I don't make empty threats." Kali said, looking down at her ankle. She couldn't hold back a little smile when he said it wasn't true. She leaned over to him and kissed his cheek, trying to work down his frustration, while at the same time expressing how she appreciated that fact. "You can't really blame me, can you? I couldn't just let her get away with talking about you like that. Flip the tables around, Ryan. What if some other man, handsome and charming and exotic, suggested I make love with him instead of you? Don't tell me you wouldn't be angry." She said, justifying her actions and changing back so that she could lick her wound. She hissed quietly. It stung and still burned, but it would heal. But she kept talking. "I had every right to start that brawl. I'm not going to let her think it's okay to flirt with you."

[Jocelyn[Spirit]]

Ryan couldn't yell at her when she had made such a valid point. If it had been him, he would have knocked the guys lights out. He made grumble of frustration in his throat but didn't say anything else. He as well phased back into his animal form and flicked his head in the direction of the cabin.
Come on. Stay in animal form, three legs is better then one to walk on with that ankle.
He said in a gruff tone of voice that he had never yet used with Kali. It signified he was frustrated, but not furious anymore. It stated he was going to give up and move on, however long it took him. He started to slowly walk back to the cabin, a single eye flicked to the leopard to see if she was going to follow, but his main attention was on Kali. He leaned against her so she could use his body to help her walk if she so needed.

You can get on my back if you want.
He said to her. He could easily carry her back if she needed it, so he let her decide what she wanted to do, for he couldn't force her to do anything. He turned his head at the leopard and gave a low, almost silent growl. This would be interesting, trying to work together.

Kayla gave him a little flirty smile when he growled at her, and she slowly got up to follow them, the scratches over her body beginning to sting. She flicked her tail thinking of getting cleaned up and taking a nice hot shower.
You do have a shower right? She confirmed. She heard the Hyena grunt in affirmative ad she let out a sign of thank the lord.

(ooc; i have too many characters and I'm having trouble keeping up, so....i am going to kill Kayla off. nice right? I'm going to have Vicky do it, to keep her scary bad ass cover)

The trio walked silently through the woods for several minutes, Kayla getting more and more agitated for she wanted a shower ASAP. When suddenly her nerves starting going nuts. Something was wrong. Her fur bristled, her tail whipped to and fro. Her ears swiveled this way and that way trying to figure out what it was.
snap
She wiped her body around to face what it was, but nothing was there. She hissed.
Guys. Something is out there.

Ryan stopped walking and turned around. He raised his head to the sky and sniffed, sucking in big breaths of air, trying to catch a scent. He hesitated. He found it.
I know that scent. We have to get out of here.
They of course couldn't go to the cabin if they were being followed, so Ryan took a sharp left and moved into thicker vegitation.

[Kali]

(OOC: Alrighty. Poor Kayla, though.)

Kali rose to her feet and did as he said, staying off her ankle and limping on the three. It hurt a bit, jerking her ankle around like that, but it was certainly better than walking. She smiled when he came to let her lean on him, but she didn't. She was alright to walk. But she didn't want to send him away, either. She liked him near to her. A soft chuckle came from her lips when he suggested she ride upon his back. "I'm a strong girl." she told him, giving it her own flirty edge. Kayla wasn't the only one around here who could do that. "I can take care of myself." she purred, pressing her nose softly against his jaw. "But thank you for the offer."

Kali could hear it too. Her own fur prickling up on her back. But she resisted turning around. She just obeyed what Ryan said and turned with him, left, into the deeper wood.
