(...Yu mean Fall, right?~ xD)
~Ƴʋмικσ~
As Yumiko studied the ground carefully, his eyes narrowed and his head lowered. He took a single pawstep forward, bending down further to bury his nose into the snow. He inhaled deeply, coughing and spluttering as snow chunks went up his nose. With a sneeze the fox kit tumbled backwards, landing on his rump with a loud crunching sound. With a sigh, he shook his head and lifted his right forepaw to rub his nose. He just went through all that trouble, and there were still no prey scents.
With a sigh, Yumiko scrambled from his sitting position back to his paws, sending snow flurries flying in all directions. He broke into a steady trot, his gaze locked on the ground below. Though the chances of finding anything were slim, he at least wanted to try for his dearest Fall.
Suddenly, Yumiko froze, every muscle tensed with excitement. He brought his head down and squited his eyes, gazing into the snow carefully. Through the shining white, he could just make out little spaces in the snow that have been packed down- like the pawprints of some animal were responsible. He brought his nose and curved it slightly, placing it just above the spces and inhaling. Yumiko's tail shot up, as well as his head. The scent of rabbit hung in the snow; faint, but inmistakable. Yumiko smirked and followed the pawprints, pressing himself low to the frosty white ground.
Within heartbeats, the fx kit could make out the animal against the white surroundings. It was gray-brown in color, and small-looking, yet it would make the perfect meal for him and Fall. Yumiko's gaze locked onto the animal, ad he took a stealthy pawstep forward. His pad grazed the snow oh-so gently, yet it was silent like a killer's. Yumiko crept slowly forward, watching the rabbit in case it made any sudden movements.
Suddenly, the rabbit's head shot up and Yumiko froze. Every muscle in his body tensed and his tail stopped moving as he gazed at the animal warily. The rabbit looked to the left, then to the right, then to the left again, but after a moment it simply brought itself back down and continued to paw at the snow in hopes of finding food. A relieed breath quietly emitted from Yumiko's throat and he crept forward again, keeping his tail steady just above the frost-littered forest floor. When he was but a few feet from his prey he stopped, bunching his muscles.
Suddenly, Yumiko sprang up in the air. The rabbit's head snapped up and it looked at Yumiko with wide black eyes, before it shot off into the forest. Yumiko's claws slammed down onto the place where the rabbit was but a heartbeat ago, and with an annoyed snarl he took off after the animal. He sprang after the rabbit, always keeping less than a foot behind it. The rabbit's large back paws kicked up snow as it went and sprayed it in Yumiko's face, clouding his vision slightly. With a growl, he shook his head and thrummed his paws against the forest floor harder, pushing him closer and closer to his apending meal.
Finally, when the rabbit was within reach he outstretched his claws, just tweeking the rabbit's back paws. The hare gave a terrified squeal as it tumbled to the ground, face-planting heavily. The fox kit trapped the rabbit in his claws and bore his fangs, crashing them down onto it's neck. The rabbit shrieked and writhed under Yumiko, but the fox kit kept it held in his lethal grasp. Gradually the rabbit's struggles died down, until it went limp under Yumiko. Yumiko lifted his head and watched as the rabbit's life drained out from under his claws, staining the snow around it scarlet.
