kizu and domo part one

domo:

a soft snow falls gently around them in the big empty field. his cold, gentle hand rests softly on her head. the touch comforts her and she wags her tail slowly.

a gentle breeze blows the snow in their faces and she closes her eyes and takes in the fresh air. it had been a long time since she had spent time out in the snow, and this was the first time she'd ben with him in a natural snow fall.

suddenly her ears perked up. she thought she had heard tree branches rustling behind them. she listened harder, trying to confirm her suspicion. all was silent now, but he could sense her unease immediatly.

he was on alert, tapping into his own dark and cold senses. then she heard it. a soft high pitched whistle. something was flying at her, and it was coming fast. she didn't have time to react. he stepped behind her swiftly and threw up an ice wall with ease, just in time to block the needles that crashed into the wall and fell, clinking, to the ground.

she sprinted out from behind the wall and ran in the direction the needles had come from. she was on full alert now and she searched the air for a scent and listened intently. her eyes scanned the trees as she ran zigzagging toward the tree line.

a flicker of movement in the shadows caught her eye and she immediatly lunged at it. but he had seen it too and froze it before she landed.there, under her paws was a frozen ninja, holding a fistful of needle aimed at her.

he slowly walked towards her and the assailant, and when he reached her he pet her head and could feel her trembling beneath him. she was still tense and searching for any sign suggesting another attack, but none came. with his touch she slowly calmed herself.

they sat there a while and just stared at the assailant, puzzled by his appearance, and debating their next course of action, but slowly she heard his heart begin to grow faint, and they left that place.
