The sun was sinking down much too fast for Jakie's liking. She kept her eye on the small white cat, who jumped as the two capsules exploded in smoke.
"Okay. For the sake of girly reasons that I shall not mention, SRGNG and CA can have one tent, and us girls will have the other, If that'll work out alright. Jakie, are you alright? You've gone a tad pale."
Jakie was only half-listening to Zaha. "I'll be all right.. Just feeling a little sick."
She didn't really remember much after she said that, except that Zaha caught a bird and it made her so painfully hungry to watch her. TWC began jumping after the stupid things as well, delighted that he was finally useful. She watched the two felines prepare the birds, increasingly aware of the icy feeling on her skin. She shivered and wondered how long she had before she had to leave.

Zaha tipped the now cooked meat onto 5 plates, setting one in front of each of the others, then turned back into a cat and gnawed at the leftover bones. '6:15, for anyone wondering. Jakie, eat up. You look like ya need it.'

"Okay. For the sake of girly reasons that I shall not mention, SRGNG and CA can have one tent, and us girls will have the other, if that'll work out alright."
"Oh! Uh, yeah..." SRGNG blushed a little. "So which one is the boys' tent?"
Zaha had finished cooking the bird, and set the meat on 5 different plates. SRGNG grinned and started munching happily, while PFA just sat and quietly ate her food.
"Someone's going to have to stand guard while we sleep. I'd assume Uncle would be doing that," she glanced at Cat Assassin, "but if, by any chance, he gets tired and needs to sleep, one of us will have to take his place. Who do you think should?"

'I will. I only need 4 hours sleep.' Zaha finsihed eating and poked her nose inside both of the tents. 'Hmm...You boys take the one on the left. Just so you know, I'll sleep outside so CA can wake me up without intruding. G'night.' Zaha, still in her cat form, yawned and curled up on top of her pack.

"Thanks Zaha, though I was planning to stay all night", Cat Assassin said, reminiscing the times he did the same for the four friends left on his world. "Oh well, a little rest wouldn't hurt, I guess", he ended.
Quickly, Cat Assassin finished his food... at least, he tried. He left a fairly large chunk of meat in his plate. Judging by the nausea he just had, he looked sick after eating. The orange cat stood up and made his way behind a tree reasonably far enough for him not to disturb the others as he threw up behind the tree.

((>> ZAHA, not Zari.))
Zaha flicked an ear towards the tree CA threw up behind. 'Sleep would do you some good. I'll relieve you at midnight.' She shut her eyes, keeping her black ears pricked upwards. You never knew quite what was going to be lurking in the shadows, and Zaha intended to be well warned. 'You all sleep. No staying up, you'll need alot of sleep.

"6:15, for anyone wondering. Jakie, eat up. You look like ya need it." Jakie folded her arms across her chest and shivered. "I'm.. not really that hungry." She lied, watching TWC wolf down his portion of the birds. She desperately wanted to stay and eat with the others. It was the same back at HQ, sometimes they'd have parties (much to the head ninja's annoyance) but Jakie would never attend. Every night she would be shut away in her room, and no one had ever really bothered to wonder why. She supposed it was better that they didn't notice.
The others were discussing who would keep watch. She stood up quietly. TWC shot her a look of pity as she started to back away silently. "Um.. I'll be right back." She hated herself for lying, but figured they wouldn't worry too much. CA had slipped away too, after all.
6:29. She hadn't really known the time, she only guessed it by the way her body temperature dropped.
Jakie walked off, gathering speed until she was nearly sprinting away from the campsite. She stopped when she knew she was out of human hearing range. Cat hearing range, was of course an entirely different story.

((Sorry! *changes*))
Cat Assassin thought he had seen a blur of something speeding, passing in front of him. He could not figure out who or what was the thing that had just sped past him: his nausea still was in effect over him. While the orange cat was able to recover from vomiting, it took him too much time. He figured out it was Jakie, but not before she could faded into the woods.
"Idiot! Don't go too far from us!" Cat Assassin shouted, his red eyes widening with anger. Not minding if his shout might've reached the others, he quickly sprinted off towards the direction Jakie took, trying his best to catch up.

'Jakie? Are you okay?' Zaha sniffed the air- Jakies scent was slowly warping. She stretched, then sprinted out of the clearing and into the woods. Something wasn't adding up. Jakie had never been to the parties the Ninja sometimes held. Anytime after 6:20 and she was never found anywhere. She stopped when she was within human hearing range. 'We all have something to hide. But in a situation such as this, we'll find out anyway. It's better to tell freely rather than to have the shame of someone finding it out themselves. We may be able to work something out. Tomorrow we'll be hiking overnight. We would've found out. If this is a danger to us, I can understand. If it isn't, I see no point in your hiding it.' her voice was even, empty of expression. But her mind was rapidly making possibilities, imagining, discarding. The smell was rather similar to that of Liiah and herself, but Zaha didn't ponder that.

The big cat watched in delight as the dark-haired ninja scurried behind a tree. The thing had been waiting a long time for her to move away from the others. "Idiot! Don't go too far from us!" The male cat's angry voice echoed off the trees. The stupid cats had followed. 'Jakie? Are you okay?' This softer voice belonged to the female. The spotted creature hissed, watched the girl bury her head in her arms. In a sliver of moonlight he saw the large blue ears that had formed atop her head. It was just like any other night, only her companions had decided to come prying. Isn't this why she had always distanced herself from the other ninja? The cat slunk out of his hiding place. Make them go away. The cat-eared girl seem to curl into herself.
His ears perked up at the female's voice. He could not comprehend the words but knew she was trying to reassure the girl. "We would've found out." The female was saying. "If this is a danger to us, I can understand. If it isn't, I see no point in your hiding it." At this, the girl let out a sob. The jaguar screeched in the same moment. Her pain was his, and the sound of her crying nearly ripped him in half. He writhed on the ground, and Jakie hissed. Go away. Go away. Go away. She blinked through her tears. "Zaha. Cat Assassin." She said their names so sweetly as she watched the huge cat try to tear himself apart. "I think you should leave now."

Zaha's ears flattened against her head. She felt the dangerous energy known as Wild Magic forming, uncurling. The presence of it made the Felus hum. The forest responded to the power now imbedding itself into Zaha's essence, rustling quietly. Zaha unconsiously rebelled-She was confused, she was angry, but she was Zaha. 'I can't. Listen here. This is one of the rare moments I start to lose control. I've got wild magic, I can't control it. If I move, stop concentrating, I might destroy this entire clearing. I'm not prying. Just curious.' Zaha laughed weakly. 'Anything you've got can't be worse- or better- than the Sylian stone and Wild Magic. My life depends on me not getting angry. So, at the moment, all our lives are at risk. Does whatever you have, I repeat, risk your life, or does it only make you different?' Zaha, this time, let her emotion colour her voice. The Tone wasn't angry, but confused and weary. She'd had enough, seen enough, heard enough.

((... It seems that Jakie and Zari talked about this part of the RP... I'd like to know what you two are trying to show before I mess it up without knowing  )) Finally able to catch up with Jakie, Cat Assassin was only a few meters away from the female ninja. As he approached the girl who was hiding behind a tree that time, Cat Assassin could hear her sobbing deeply, a sign of agony. "... I think you should leave now", Jakie said sweetly before he could peek behind the tree to see what was happening. Cat Assassin disregarded the warning, however. The orange cat took a deep breath as he slowly walked around the tree, trying to brace whatever was hindering Jakie to appear. |

((Alas, we have not. I have made several guesses and mixed some of Zaha and Zari's backstory in. Yes, wild magic is nasty stuff.))

((*nodnod* I don't really see how you could mess it up.. Everything will be explained eventually. X3))
"I can't." The jaguar let out a screech of anger. It tore madly at itself as Jakie listened silently. It stopped moving when Zaha stopped speaking. The girl touched the creature's bloody face in an almost loving gesture. "Risk my life?" The cat stirred. "I imagine it could kill me, yes. I'd be more worried about yourself though." Her fingers strayed to the cat's neck. There was only one thing keeping her from choking it where it lay.
"Sorry for being so vague, but it seems to be waking up. It wants to kill the both of you, but I suppose I could let it kill itse-"
The jaguar jolted upwards and sank it's teeth into her right arm, just as Cat Assassin appeared around the other side of the tree. Wide-eyed, Jakie could only stare at the liquid darkening her sleeve. "Oh." She looked up at the orange catboy. "I didn't think it was going to do that."

Zaha straightened, the wild magic turning in on itself and forming a dark red haze around her athletic frame. She followed Cat Assasin, then stopped. 'Ah. So that's why you smell like a cat. And could it kill you? I'd like to know why. Is this some sort of curse? Curiousity killed the Felidae.' Zaha stared at the jaguar. 'I can't imagine why it'd want to kill me. Did I say something?' The black-haired catgirl scuffed her boot on the ground absently, nevertaking her eyes off the jaguar.
