Shy glanced at Ringo "Ohh ok.." She stared at her paws as she walked along. but soon she noticed that they had entered a small clearing with boulders surrounding what apeared to be a small cave."Is this it?" she asked.

"Ohh, thanks." She stepped past Ringo and walked over torwards a small rock by the cave wall. It was nice and cool inside. She layed down and rested her head on her paws. She scooted over to make room for Ringo.

She winced as she saw zero playfully talk with Ringo almost like she was flirting. She was suddenly over come with jealosey. She bared her teeth only a bit and clawed the ground where her paws were. She wanted so badly to tell Zero to back off. But she knew she had no right to.

Shy was horrified by the sudden attack of Kiska. She was thankful that Ringo and even Zero had stepped in to help her. "I'm sorry I didn't meen to cause a fight..." She tucked her tail between her legs and whimpered. She didn't wan't to anger anyone. She slowly layed back down looking behind her to see if Kiska was going to attack again. What did he meen by different?

Shy giggled in secret along with Ringo. She enjoyed being so close to him. But something deep inside told her to be careful. But she shook the thought as quickly as it apeared. She flicked her tail along the bottom of his jaw and smirked. Even though she was tired she began to feel as though she was a pup again. She spanked the ground with her front paws and ran farther back into the cave. She turned around to make sure Ringo was fallowing. "C'mon slowpoke!" she giggled.

Shy looked back to see Kiska snarl and smirked. "He's like my dad in a way" she mentioned to Ringo, "old and grumpy." She giggled under her breath and pawed at Ringos ear playfully.

She could hear Ringo and Kiska mutter behind her and stopped momentarily to try and hear what they were saying. But she soon lost interest. She loked back at Ringo with a big grin on her face. She remembered how when she had first met him this mornig that it seemed almost impossible that he could even smile. Now she was falling in love with him! She cought herself staring off into his eyes and quickly shook off the trance.

Shy watched Ringo walk over to Kiska. It was then that she remembered how late it was. Sha padded up to Ringo and whispered. "I think I should gets some sleep..." she licked him on the cheek right in front of kiska. She yawned and slowly padded over to the rock were she had recently been. She then layed her head on her paws and slowly fell asleep. But the last thing she saw before drifting into unconciousness was Ringo.

Shy Imediantly saw Ringo walking over to her, a worried and anxiouse glance on his face. When she heard him ask if she was ok she sighed. "I think so... I just had a nightmare that's all..." She shook her head trying to get the terrifying image out of her mind. She got up slowly and looked into Ringo's eyes. He did look worried but about what? She looked around and noticed that Zero was not in the cave. "Were did Zero go?". She then put together that that was the reason why Ringo was worried.

Shy couldn't sleep any more. She knew something wrong was happening. She slowly opened her eyes to see Zero standing in the entrance, a battered look on her face. Kiska was a few feet away. But were was Ringo? She got up ever so slowly and gave herself a good shake. She padded quietly torwards Zero, "Were is Ringo?" She figured maybe they had some sort of system were they all took shifts, portoling the territory but she didn't know for sure. She could plainly see the small streak that lonely tear had made on her cheek and another questiooon surfaced. "What's wrong?".
