Yoshu panted heavily as he ran through the forest frantically. His white tail wagged back and forth while following him eagerly away from his hunter, who ever it may have been. His slender body panted and heaved while trying to run desperately. Blue eyes fluttered from exhaustion and winced from the growing pain in his chest because of all of the running, and his blond hair was now damp and heavy with sweat. Oh he hated this time of year, when the females began to seek a mate. It was always a painful process and Yoshu simply couldn't stand it! Especially this year, when his mater seemed particularly feisty, and terrified him. As he tried to continue running, his feet tripped over a gnarled root and he slammed down onto the ground, left exposed and week, he found himself no longer able to run any more, his boy exhausted and drained.
