Shaking out her pelt, Kikji stood near the pole as she watched her owner step into the store. Her ears perked as she heard the familiar jingle of the bells as Buck slipped inside. Licking her nose, the husky rested on her haunches, her tongue lolling out of her mouth as she waited for her owner. Nearby, two dogs awaited for their owner, and their arguments could be heard from her. Letting out a huff, Kikji glanced away, deciding not to eavesdrop on their "private" conversation. Swishing her tail around her, she shuffled her paws as she stared out at the store. When a tall man stepped out of the store, she was about to leap onto her paws when she realized that Buck wasn't that tall, and in fact, he wasn't that young. Sighing, she plopped back down and twitched her ear impatiently as she waited. Suddenly, a ferocious growl burst near her. Whipping her head, her eyes widened as the two arguing dogs sprang at each other, snarling as snapping as they attacked one another. Letting out a bark, she began to attract the attention of several men as they hurried over to pull the canines out of their fights. Unable to look anymore, Kikji glanced away, ashamed of the two males as she heard a few men yelling.
Finally, when it was quiet, Kikji forced herself to look back. A gasp nearly escaped her maw as she noticed the smaller male motionless on the ground with blood oozing out of his wounds. The larger, black male was being held back as he tried to lunge for the other male again. Trembling, Kikji glared at the black male, before taking a step back. Several humans lifted the sleeping dog away, his head limp as it hung. Dark, dull eyes stared back as he was carried away. Flattening her ears, she watched as the dead male disappeared along with the humans, before staring at the bloody snow.
