Kuruka slunk through the grass, her tail waving gently behind her. As she neared, she made out the two lionesses better. One was a very dark brown-grey color, with pale green eyes and a stocky build. The second one, a little smaller, was a mild grey-brown, lighter than the other, with striking blue eyes. They were busy moving forwards, talking to each other quietly. Kuruka licked her muzzle, feeling the usual excitement build up within her.
She paused about three meters away. Nearby, zebra meandered through the grass, and beyond them a number of skinny gazelles and antelope. Kuruka lifted her head up--becoming fully visible--and trotted towards the lionesses. "Hi there!" she chirped, painting a pleasant expression over her face. The first lioness stopped and turned, looking mildly interested as well as wary. The second one froze and peered around her companion. Kuruka guessed they were littermates.
"Hello." The first one responded, tilting her head. Kuruka slunk around in front of them, her tail flicking gently. She circled them, noticing that they got tenser the more she moved around them. "Do you want something?" the first lioness asked, her voice hinting at irritation and displeasure.
Kuruka grinned. "Oh, I do. But don't worry, you needn't do anything for me." she purred, weaving in closer. The two lionesses began to back away, looking a little worried now.
"Well, we're leaving, good-bye." The green-eyed one spoke quickly, nudging her companion to the side to turn and head away from Kuruka. The spotted brown lioness stepped in front, cutting off the smaller lioness's path. "Please, get away from us!" The grey-brown lioness continued, her eyes widening.
"Nope!" Kuruka churred, suddenly leaping straight towards the small lioness and easily pinning her down. As the oteher one came in, roaring, Kuruka shoved out with a hind paw and sent her backwards. She pressed down on her first quarry, stopping the smaller one's struggles with her weight. Then, she dipped her head and bit the lioness's face multiple times, tearing and causing the female to shriek in agony. The first lioness had gotten to her paws and was sprinting towards Kuruka and the other, wailing as she saw her friend's torn face. Kuruka got up, leaving the smaller one to tremble and cry, and shot out towards the larger one, sticking her claws into the chest of the lioness and twisting. The darker lioness screamed and flailed, thrashing out her paws and managing to nick Kuruka's muzzle with a claw. Kuruka snorted, her grin still wide on her muzzle. She leaned forwards and sunk her teeth into the lioness's shoulder, and with a huge lift tossed her to the side.
The larger lioness fell with a thump and lay still except for occasional twitches. But she wasn't dead. Kuruka glanced back at the smaller one, who was still whimpering, and approached her. Kuruka had managed to rip up her face severely, and blinded her in one eye as well. She gave the lioness a few more scratches in the side and chest, then walked away. She wasn't inspired to kill them. Sometimes she just enjoyed tormenting, then leaving them to bleed. It was more painful that way. And they lived to tell stories of her, and fear her, and hate her. Kuruka licked her bloody muzzle in delight and continued towards her sister.
[those two victims are possible new characters. xD]
