Aoi Sukai (Blue Sky)

Sparkz rested not very far away. he was wounded after a small fight with a wolverine. he had to rest.

Sparkz culed his tail as he flicked an ear. he had closed eyes, and almost slept. it was a very warm day.

Salita hopped up onto a rock near the rushing waterfall. She lapped up some of the rapid moving water and lay down to wash herself. Her beautiful brown eyes lay upon Sparkz and his bleeding wounds. Poor guy... she thought.

Salita continued to wash herself when Taiyou's scent also drifted to her nose. She looked in the other dog's direction, then turned back to her washing.

Sparkz looked at the other dogs. he then looked down in the ground. "damn" he thought. "better be careful this time" he thought

Salita continued to eye Sparkz. She got up, stretching, and left the waterfall for a moment. She can back with Chamelle, and herb that stops bleeding a yields pain. She hopped on a few rocks over to him, and placed the herbs in front of him. "I saw you from the other side of the falls," she said. "I figured you'd need these."

"thanks" Sparkz smiled. he then looked down in the ground again. "what should i do" he thought.

Salita turned back, and hopped on the same rocks she came from. She sat on the middle one and began to clean herself.

Sparkz smiled to Salita. he then licked his paw. when he was sure that the paw was clean. he took some of the herbs and used it as a small bandage on his paw.

Salita supervised to make sure he used the herbs right. When he was finished, she sighed, and turned away. She curled up on the damp rock she stood on.

Sparkz curled his tail. he couldn't sleep, so he decided to look what salita was doing.

Salita lapped up some of the rapidly moving water. She sat down, and looked into the sky.

Sparkz padded over to the trees and laid in their shadows. it was to warm for him. he soon fell into sleep.

Salita hopped back over to Sparkz. She looked contently at him as he slept.

Sparkz didn't notice her. he just continued sleeping. he liked to lay in the shadows, insteed of out in the hot sun.

Salita padded away. She had seen him before, in the Free Forest, hitting on a couple of other dogs. She walked a few paces away, and sat on a slab of rock hanging over the waterfall drop. She looked down as the water foamed below.

Sparkz suddenly waked up. he couldn't sleep anymore. he looked up in the sky. one cloud looked a little like a shikoku. and another looked like another dog. Sparkz rolled around. he enjoyed the cold shadows. "beautiful day" he said to himself.

Salita sighed, continuing to watch the water rush by.

Sparkz started to play with a rock. he was in a playful mood. he started to become a little bored so he stood up and padded over to Salita. "what are you doing?" he asked.

"Just watching the water," she replied.

"oh" Sparkz said and also started to look down in the water.
