"Uh-huh," Mikku said saracastically.  He then jumped off of Ruko, giving him a chance to try to retaliate.  "Open chance.  But, just so you know, I'm handing this one to you."

"HEEYY!" Snow squealed.  She struggled in her father's grip.  She wanted to be on the ground!

Sierra looked at everything that was happening.

"Sorry!" Taiko set her down. Had he hurt her?

Ruko got out from underneath Mikku. "You'll pay for that!" He yipped, tackling him.

Mikku easily got Ruko off of him, with some light kicking and nifty work.  "Is that all you got, weakling?" he spat.  The pup smirked mischeviously.

"EWWWCHHLLL!!" Snow growled.  Would anybody speak!?!?!? "SAY SOMETHING!! GOSH!!!  I AM SICK AND TIRED OF NOBODY TALKING TO ME!!" she snarled.  The small wolf padded off into the pups' den, purely annoyed and furious.

Ruko growled. At the same time, he noticed the mark on his paw. But that was totally normal looking. Nothing odd here, right? He attacked Mikku, biting his muzzle. "Besides, you're only beating me 'cause you're older."

Taiko narrowed his eyes. We do talk to her.

Mikku gritted his teeth, then practically ripped Ruko off of his muzzle.  "I thought this was play-fighting, not something that will make each other bleed!" he growled.  His muzzle was bleeding, and there were four dots that were secreting the red fluid.  "And I'm beating you because I have better skills."

(Taiko should do something about Snow. ._. )

(Ruko has a hard time controlling his temper, by the way.)

Taiko padded over to Snow. "We do talk to you. You never seem to listen."

Ruko felt no guilt for making him bleed. "Yeah, until you get hurt, you little runt!" He ran at him again and bit his shoulder. Then he said through his teeth:"We'll see who has better skills!"

Snow had her back turned toward Taiko.  So she didn't hear or notice him.

Sierra snarled at the two fighting pups.  She had to stand up for Mikku, too.  "RUKO!" she shouted at him.  Padding over, she had a serious look on her face.

Mikku tore away from Ruko.  What was with this kid?! He was crazy!

"Excuse me, Ruko?  What did I just see you do to a fellow pack-mate?" Sierra spoke in a superior mother way.

Ruko had blood on his muzzle. "He crushed me, and then he said I was a weak fighter!" Ruko protested. " So I bit his face." Ruko thought that was very reasonable. You call me a name, I bite your face. Perfectly. Fair.

"SNOW!" Taiko was annoyed.
