~Moon
Rika pulled quickly away just as fast as I had kissed her. She had uncertainty and concern on her face. She didn't look okay at all but maybe that was just a reaction to me admitting my love to her... Or the whole group pressure or something...
“Moon… I…” Rika trailed off. “I don’t know what to say… I.. Just need to think…”
Time to think? That's either a complete rejection or she really just had to think... It would explain her expression, the way she walked off and looked back one time to look at me with hurt, rejection, and shock on me. She followed the rest of the group slowly and I just dragged my feet along, my eyes blank and all, in drowning thought, away from her. She... didn't love me back... or maybe... she did and couldn't say it? I couldn't tell by the expression on her face and my heart so much, I just had a feeling she didn't feel the same way...
At some point, we stopped and rested, I leaning against a wall and slid down it until I was sitting and the chain on my neck felt so cold now, I pulled it off my neck and just looked at it. It reminded me of my childhood and everything that happened. Didn't I always plan to put something on it, but never got the time to, so that I would remind myself of a special moment? What point would it be now?
I just stuffed it in my pocket with a sigh and grabbed the bag off of my back and pulled out some bread that I had saved a while back and planned to eat with Rika later but instead I just ripped it in half and put one half beside me on the cave floor, with me taking one glance at Rika, who was sitting a fair distance away with some other halfers. She glanced for a second or two as I looked away and Sky screamed at the top of her lungs.
“HAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LISTENNNNNNNN!!!!” I looked at Sky and wondered what she had in mind to do now. She was standing on top of a rock and talking about since we have so much halfers in the club now, we should all introduce ourselves. After Sky went, all of us went in a weird circle/oval of introducing ourselves and after Jake introduced herself, which I just noticed now because I wasn’t really paying attention to any of the conversations or that he was beside me, I decided it was my turn. I cleared my throat and tried to speak with a good, half-hearted fake smile on my face.
"So, I'm Moon, a black leopard halfer and my sister is Luna over there-" I pointed to where Luna was near that fish halfer guy. "-and I like to eat sweets and meat and I may be feeling like crap right now, but I'm still looking Harmony, either way," I shrugged and people nodded and Rika stared at me which I noticed out of the corner of my eye and I didn't bother to look at her.
She can decide now. I said what I needed to say. I don't think I really had a choice in anything else anymore.

~Luna
At some point, Sen zoned out and he didn't look okay because his face got slightly pale and his eyes were blank. To snap him out of it, I spoke up.
“Umm… Are you alright?” I asked and Sen snapped out of it.
“I dunno...” I looked at me like I was crazy. Wouldn't he be able to tell if he was okay or not?
“I just got here a few days ago…” Sen started off. “I guess… I’ve mostly been sleeping, running around trying to find a way out, and swimming.. I guess you can could that as things I like to do…” Sen trailed off and then he was about to speak up again until Sky came up to me.
“Luna, we’re stopping soon to rest,” Sky told me and I just nodded. I guess she was still grateful for my help from earlier and I didn't mind. Sky and Sen talked slightly, Sen pissing Sky off easily with what he was giving off, trying to remember her name and she stormed off. I guess he didn't really have a good memory at all... Either way, he was a nice guy.
Sen laughed suddenly, “So anyway, tell me a little about yourself, Luna.” He smiled, “What do you like to do?” Well, I can say that I've been told that a bit in time and I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell him what I like to do.
"Well, most of the time, I like to collect things and fight. I like to sleep a lot and it's fun to travel in groups. I like to swim and run too and I like to explore. A lot, actually," I laughed and Sen smiled and nodded.
"That's pretty cool." And just as Sen was about to say something else, I saw Moon and Rika apart from each other and thought it was weird and then I jumped myself when Sky yelled out.
“HAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LISTENNNNNNNN!!!!” I looked up at Sky and then she told everybody that we should get to know each other and everybody slowly introduced themselves, and I listened to that lion’s, which was interesting in any cause.
“Well, I’m Jake, the lion. I lived in a cave most of my life and kind of wasted it, just sitting and laying around like a jackass, which I am one, for anyone that knows me. So, I don’t know anybody here except Mister Cow there, Kasumi, Tamotsu, Zar, and Big Ennis there! I don’t care if anybody wants to know me, so, eh,” Jake shrugged and sat back down beside Vana, who was annoying him, and everybody was quiet and then Moon spoke up, who was sitting beside Jake. I could still see his sad eyes.
"So, I'm Moon, a black leopard halfer and my sister is Luna over there-" Moon pointed to where I was and I blushed. "-and I like to eat sweets and meat and I may be feeling like crap right now, but I'm still looking Harmony, either way," Moon shrugged and some people just nodded and Rika just stared at him and he ignored her. What did him, or more like she, to make him upset? I growled slightly as I stood up after Moon and spoke up.
“Well, I’m Luna, a snow leopard, and I kind of just joined you guys after helping out at Vana’s place. I traveled with a big group of leopards before this, helping out people and halfers that needed it, and if anybody wants to know me, I’m fine with it,” I shrugged. “I’m Moon’s sister… so… yeah,” I mumbled off and people just nodded slightly and I sat back down and wondered if Sen was going to go next but it didn’t seem like he would, the same being for Rika, I glaring at her for a while, making her notice. Whatever.
If she broke my brother’s heart, she would get it.
I looked over at Sen. "So when are you going to introduce yourself, Sen?" I asked.

~Jake
Well, nothing was really exciting after that Kasumi left with that human, Tamotsu, I just plopped myself down, doing nothing and chewing on my nails as my wounds stopped bleeding, finally, and watched everybody introduce themselves. That big lug, Ennis, Kai, and Pierce did theirs, which was a little weird, but then again, I was used to them so whatever. I knew I hadn’t talked to Pierce in a while and it didn’t really bother me, surprisingly, though the thought of him made me think that I was being somebody really stupid.
He caught my eye as he looked over at me after speaking and I just looked blankly at him and he just sighed and sat back down. Guess he didn’t really care about anybody’s opinion of him, which I didn’t really care for in my own standards. Right after that Abby girl did her’s, I decided to do mine. What the hell, right?
“Well, I’m Jake, the lion. I lived in a cave most of my life and kind of wasted it, just sitting and laying around like a jackass, which I am one, for anyone that knows me. So, I don’t know anybody here except Mister Cow there, Kasumi, Tamotsu, Zar, and Big Ennis there! I don’t care if anybody wants to know me, so, eh,” I finished with a shrug and people went quiet and didn’t really do anything but I honestly didn’t care anymore. Why was I even here?
Moon then did himself, and then that Luna girl, his sister. I surprised how many people went already but then again, I wasn’t hungry, so I didn’t have to really eat any of them to get less people in this club, right? Eh.
I looked over at Pierce again, who looked back and gave me a goofy smile and I just frowned and listened to the next person. Whatever, Pierce. Whatever.

Well, I hope that was okay!! :D I was at least able to get everybody in, thank God, or at least, what I could :)
