Memory blinked away from Vani and looked to Ryuu in his rest, recalling their conversation as Vani had dissappeared.
Why would you think such of your family, young master?
Because she has the same goody-goody of my sister, so she'll end up in the same fate. With the clans.
Ryuu-
You must serve the Army, correct? I know Vani is going to do something. Watch her for me when I can not. When you find out enough, tell Tigerheart and tell me. Then erase all of her memories of the Rouge Army. Got it?
With the... yes, young master. I shall keep an eye on Vani for you if you wish.
The dark cat shook her head to clear it before looking back at Vani. Her doubts of the tale were high, but it wouldn't hurt her to keep check.
"The attack shall be when Tigerheart decides it to be. Rest now, Kimara, Karma. Allow sleep to come quickly and time shall come as such."

Vani watched until a cloud covered the moon. There was no light to illluminate her path back to the cave. She would have to rely on her natural intinct. She padded slowly back to the cave, weaving in between the trees and rocks. Several heartbeats later the moon appeared. She could see clearly now. The cave was only a few fox lenghts away. She bounded over to it. Memory was still awake and still watching her every move.

"Vani," Memory mewed quietly as her tail stregthned it grip around Ryuu. "Should you not be resting, asleep?" Her words accused the she-cat of none and asked of none but her nocturnal instincts similiar to the ones Memory could call her own. Her eyes had a tint of green in their gleam, but no more could be told of her annoyance that the kit had been right. No one would go against Tigerheart if she could do anything about it. And she could; but not yet. Not until enough secrets had been revealed.

"I sleep when I want to." Vani growled. She layed down and shut her eyes. She knew that she wasn't going to sleep any time soon, but if she didn't Memory would keep watching her and eventually find out what she was doing. She listned to the crickets chirp and the owls hoot. Everything seemed so peaceful. Why did Tigerheart have to ruin it?

"Do not play the game of a fool, young mistress. You shall learn there is no way to win," Memory mewed as she took her eyes from the she-cat and rested them back on Tigerheart after making sure both of the kits were away form the entrance. There is no way you can survive when you know something not ment for mortal eyes. Do not be the leader of the fools; there is no way that you shall not die.

A couple hours later... Vani squinted as a ray of sunlight shone in her eyes. It was finally morning. She padded out of the cave in search of fresh kill. Her ears pricked as a ruslte from the bushes caught her attention. She crouched low, making sure she was downwind. She then pounced onto the unsespecting rabbit killing it swiftly. She brought it back to the cave and nibbled on it.

Memory padded in after Vani, a hawk in her jaws. She had originally been after the ivory she-cat, but changed course as the bird had made its swoop. "You are aware that that rabbit is to be shared, whether the action is wished or not. It is how we are," she mewed, dropping one of the hawks by Kimara and Karma and the other between her and Ryuu. The kit stirred at the scent of the freash-kill, his eyes instantly darting to Vani.
"Has she...?" he mewed quiet enough for only the two to hear. Memory shook her head, implying he would know later. "Good."

Vani nodded."Fine." She mewed and dropped the rabbit in between the two kits."I'm going out to hunt more." She padded out of the cave in search of fresh kill.
Later...// Sorry I'm lazy to type//
Vani returned to the cave, her mouth full of fresh kill. She scanned the cave and saw no fresh kill pile. She dumped the fresh kill in the center of the cave. She took her mouse and ate it alone. Her eyes swept the cave.

"Too cold you are to be caring for more than a fight," Memory mewed from the other side of the cave, Ryuu pushing the rabbit over to Kimara before turning back to the hawk caught in the corner of her eye. "Do not seperate yourself. Not here." Tigerheart looked like he was still asleep, Shortstride a few paces away. Even Ryuu had someone without his sister. "Not if you don't want to be left behind."

Vani watched the two kits from the corner of her eye. She was to becarful around the two. If they found out what she was doing and told Tigerheart she would be crow food.
"So the Kittypet can catch herself food." Russet mocked as he came into the cave with fresh kill in his jaws.
"Don't call me a kittypet." Vani growled. Her eyes flashing dangerously. She was sensitive of her kittypet roots and any cat who called her a kittypet was going to have his ears clawed off.

"Don't be a wimp about it, Vani," Ryuu mewed as he finished his part of the hawk, pushing the rest to Memory. "I mean honestly, did Liam ever be so stupid as to get upset over it? No. He went on to be deputy and gave is life for Fernstar- it was a waste I'm sure, but he did it all the same. Next to him, I have to admit, you do seem pretty pathetic."

"Shutup Ryuu." Vani hissed. Vani, do try to refrain from arguing with our nephew, he cannot help who he is Cana's words rang in her ears. She steadily calmed herself down. "I didn't asked for your opinion." She continued eating her mouse, tearing into small strips. She wished Ryuu didn't have to inherit the annoying part of Liam too.

"You were just afraid of it like you're afraid of everything else. You wouldn't even be here if you thought that you could make it on your own. Even you know that you're weak," Ryuu mewed before Memory hushed him with a wave of her tail.
||Bah.||

"Yes I am weak, but I'm willing to try harder to become strong. You on the other hand rely on your natural abilities that your father gave you." she mewed cooly."That will not make you strong. It just shows how weak you are, depending on your- no your father's abilities to carry you out in life. You will die quickly because of that."

A silver she-cat plopped onto the ground next to Ryuu.
" ah, Hawkstorm! You're alive!" Tigerheart smiled.
" Tsuki misses you dearly," Hawkstorm whispered to Ryuu.

"You know nothing of my father, Vani. And you know nothing of me. Why don't you just- what?" Ryuu spat at Vani before Hawkstorm's words finally reached his head. "You've spoken to my sister?" he whispered to the silver she-cat, eyes demanding anything she knew about Tsuki. "Is something wrong? Do I have to go kill someone?"

Hawkstorm let out a weak smile. " No no, Ryuu. She misses you as if you've gone to StarClan-" Tigerheart spat at the word StarClan. " Tigerheart, shush-" Hawkstorm was probably the only cat that could tell off Tigerheart and escape with her life. " Anyway, she misses you. The only reason she stays in StormClan is your mother. Actually, your mother's fallen quite ill." Hawkstorm licked the kit's ear. " Don't worry, she's safe. I made sure of that."
Tigerheart rolled his eyes and waved his tail. " Ryuu, your over the age of an apprentice, therefor, I make you one. As of now, and I won't dare throw the pathetic ceremony when StarClan chose to foil our plans, you are an apprentice. You can choose one cat here that will teach you everything there is to being one of us." Tigerheart scented the air for Leopardclaw. THere was no sign of him. He glanced at Hawkstorm and then the other rogues, wondering who Ryuu would choose.

Rowanheart looked around at what was happening. The RA was accepting kittypets? This was pittiful but it was all she had for now.

Ryuu smiled a thanks to Hawkstorm before glancing at Tigerheart; he scanned all of the cats of the Army before he spoke. "Should I assume that Hawkstorm is going back to the clans and Leopardclaw and yourself would both happen to be busy, I'd like to have Memory teach me. My fighting skills are capible enough to kill and would only improve in battle. Besides," he mewed with a smirk at the she-cat, "she already happens to know me quite well." He took little notice of word of his mother's illness. To him, it just ment Tsuki would come find him sooner rather than later.

Tigerheart nodded, noting Hawkstorm's appauled look. " I'm never going back to those putrid Clans again!" She muttered under her breath.

Ryuu cast a side glance at Hawkstorm after turned to his new mentor. "Good to hear. The clans are a wate of time and energy; there should be a single dictatorship ruling over the forest to make everything easier. Maybe you can show me some moves before the time comes when you are claimed by death." His tone held the air of superiority without making them an insult, only his knowledge outshining his words. "And maybe you can tell me when Ivorysoul was planned to die so I can fetch Tsuki."

Hawkstorm tilted her head and blinked in disbelief. " Are you serious?! How could you say that, Ryuu?! Do you even know how much your mother loves you?"

"No, I don't. I know how much she loves Tsuki. She never cared for me. Why? Because I was born the part of my father she never knew, thus hated. The only ones that can stand me for more than a day happens to be Tsuki, Memory and most of the Rouge Army. And that's because they have to. You know nothing of my pain." Ryuu turned and padded out of the cavern, followed by Memory. In truth, Ryuu knew all about Hawkstorm's pain from he and Tsuki sharing the dream. He could stand her pain; thus, he didn't care. Not if love was brought into the matter.

Karma yawned, exposing sharp fangs, then stopped to stretch. After all, it was a new day and she had gotten all of the sleep she needed. She paused for a second and glanced at Kimara, who was still asleep. But instead Karma just shook her head and kept walking. "Hey, you," she whispered to the cat next to her, "can you tell me what's going on here? I just joined the rogue army and I have absolutly no idea of plans and rules..."

" No you idiot!" Hawkstorm darted out of the cavern with Ryuu. " Don't you see what I'm getting at?! Your mother would give her life for you, you mousebrain. If you ever get into trouble, she'll die for you. See where I'm going with this?! You can use her as a shield!"
Spots padded up to Karma. " One rule- you make Leopardclaw or Tigerheart angry, you die. They aren't afraid to kill you. Leopardclaw's killed two kits out of cold blood."

Ryuu narrowed his eyes at Hawkstorm for a moment before resting them on the ground. "Even I don't know anyone that would use their mother and let them die rather than themselves. From there I draw the line." He dared not look at the two she-cats as he spoke; this weakness of heart was something he could not call his own. Maybe that's why he wanted her death faster. So he could care only for Tsuki. "If she chose it by fate, that would be her choice, not mine."

Hawkstorm shook her head. " I've been patient with you, Ryuu. You say you hate your mother, then you keep changing your mind. What are you up to? What are you thinking?" Hawkstorm knew Ivorysoul would be hurt if she knew how her son usually thought of her.

Squirrelpelt was asleep in a corner of the cavern. She woke up and looked around. There was still no sign of Darkwing. Would he ever get back? She wondered for a while then got up. She would have to make life here for now. She might be able to make friends. She looked around to see if anyone was alone.

Ryuu held a small gaze with Hawkstorm for a moment before he lept up the nearest boulder, resting himself of the sun-warmed rock before he spoke. "I do hate my mother, and I want her gone. But that doesn't mean I would kill her for it. There are some standerds I chose to live by, murdering my family for an underserving reason happens not to be one of them. My thoughts are clear, they lead to nothing. Nothing but a matter of time."

" Ryuu, your mother loves you. She'll fight for you no matter what. She was torn to see you leave, but she let you, because she knew if she made you stay you'd hate her. But you already do." Hawkstorm mewed. " Be thankful you have her. I barely knew my mother." She looked into Ryuu's eyes, trying to read his expression. " I'm your mother's closest friend. How could you hate her if you barely knew her?"
