A Wolf's Appetite

[<[-Nalani-]>]

As Melania strooled over to the Camerupt Cafe as she was being careful not to hurt her damaged leg anymore than it was now, but it had been a really long time now she had brought another Mightyena to eat with her yet she had never found one that had a lovely shade of green in their eyes like what Fang had. But more importantly was that she actually felt very calm with him around her.

She then sat on one of the outdoor table's seats and tried to find a comfortable posture for her as she looked over at Fang again with a smile on her face as she pushed over one of the menus over to the other Mightyena's side. "Go ahead and pick what you wish, evn if it is a lot of food. Money is not a priority with me so it's alright. She said sweetly as she opened up her menu and began reading some of the orders they had.

[BlackIce]

Glancing into the cafe menu, Fang could hardly control his drool. What can the poor Mightyena say? He couldn't remember the last time he had eaten. 'I'll get two burgers, everything on it, an order of fries on the side, and an expresso. Don't wanna' hurt the poor girl's pocket too much.' He planned mentally.

*Look how creative you are. That's what you get everytime you have enough money to come here. But this time it's not even yours* A voice had entered his thoughts once more and it had sounded unsually bored.

Fang whipped his head around to the very back and his suspicions were confirmed when his emerald gaze met sinister eyes. The very sinister eyes of a wide grinning Katashiko. The wolf-like Pokemon stuck his tounge out at him, but not in the way most Pokemon would think. In wolf, to stick out your tounge is to say you give up, but still, a glare was sent the Kadabra's way.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Melania chuckled a little bit when heard all the things that this Pokemon was going to order, and compared to what she was going to eat, Fang's order was going to be half the size of her meal. She looked back at the counter table not too far away from them to see if someone was comming over to take their order, but no one yet was to be seen.

She looked back practicly at the time Fang was finished sticking his tounge out at the Pokemon the Mightyena had no clue about. "Boy, I hope someone comes by soon." She said in a mutter as she looked back and completely re-gretted what she had said before. A Waitress was comming up to the two Wolf Pokemon and unfortanately the Blue-eyed Mightyena knew that dark-coloured Nidorina anywhere.

Please don't come here... She said in her mind repeatedly as she had one of her paws on her head, that was until she heard the footsteps stop and heard a Spanish voice talk out, "Well, if it ain't Melania." The voice said with a small chuckle at the end. The Mightyena looked and saw a Nidorina who's black lips curled up in a grinning position. "Hello Carmela..." She said in an annoyed voice knowing that the Nidorina will do something stupid infront of her and Fang. She just felt like dying on the spot right now.

[BlackIce]

The male Mightyena, on the other hand, was completely oblivious to the little reunion happening behind him. Still with a scolding glare he stared the Kadabra down, his lips beginning to pull back in a silent snarl. His thick, black tail whipped toward the direction of the exit, a sure warning that Katashiko should leave.

Oddly enough to Fang, Katashiko winked smugly and pointed a thick, snowy claw Melania's way. Fang groaned not knowing what the Pokemon meant and not wanting to, but threw his head in the female's direction anyways. He surprised to have his sight greeted by an strangely dark-colored Nidorina. She and Melania seemed to know each other. He was puzzled at that moment and shot his female companion a questioning, emerald gaze.

*You know Fang, she does have beautiful eyes.* Katashiko taunted, knowing that the Mightyena must have had his ears burning in a blush. The Kadabra grinned even wider.

'Stop torturing me, Katashiko. What did I ever do to you?' He snarled mentally, knowing that the Kadabra was hearing his thoughts.

The older Pokemon needed no time to think and quickly replied, *Nothing, but you still owe me, remember? A little entertainment too much to ask?*

Fang didn't even look at him, just flattened his ears and groaned softly again. Katashiko was in for it.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Carmela looked over as she she saw the other Mightyena which looked like he had a bad run-in with a lawnmower or something, she leaned over a little bit to one of Melania's long ears and whispered to her, "Are you actually serious Mel? joo're dating this guy?" Melania then blushed after what she heard what the Nidorina had to say.

"Shut up Carmela." She said back to ther Nidorina in an angerful whisper as she then noticed that Fang looked a little bit confused, but then it clicked to her, he obviously didn't know who this Pokemon beside her was. "Right, sorry about this, uh, this is Carmela, I work with her once in a while but not at the Cafe here. And speaking of which-" She said as she looked up at Carmela again with a toothy grin on her face.

"I believe you're suppose to take our orders now aren't you?" The Nidorina just groaned as she took out a note pad and a pen and looked at the two. "Alright, Melania I know what joo're getting the usual so Im not even bothering to ask choo. Carmela said to the blue-eyed Wolf as she turned around to Fang with the notepad and pen all ready. "What about it there? what would choo like to eat huh? She asked as her black-tipped claws tapped on the note pad and awaited an answer.

[BlackIce]

Katashiko was putting Fang in a rather foul mood, so the Mightyena just looked at her from the corner of his eye. A moment later he got over it and raised his head, shifting to a more comfortable postition than his previous haunched over one. "I'll have two cheeseburgers, everything on 'em, an order of fries, and an expresso." He listed, the Mightyena's reply being a bit anrgy noted, although it was barely noticeable with his deep voice.

*Aw, poor Fang wasn't able to get the whole menu on his plate.* Katshiko taunted, a small laugh, an actual real laugh, emited from his throat. It was sure to get Fang's attention, along with everyone elses. The laughter was succesful with the emerald-eyed male because his head whipped around, astonished. It had been forever sice the olded, black and yellow Kadabra had laughed out loud.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Carmela nodded and began wrighting down his order but then stopped as she heard some sort of laugh not too far away from them, both the Mightyena and the Nidorina's head quickly looked up in the direction the laughter was comming from and just saw two glowing eyes in a distance.

A shiver just went down Melania's spine as she saw the errie-looking white eyes staring down at them, Carmela however just put one of her clawed hands on her hip with her lips moved to one side of her face. "Sir, if joo just gonna stand there and laugh at us for no apparent reasons then get outta here." She said in a snappy tone which made Melania a little more un-even. "Carmela don't do it." She warned the Nidorina in a whisper but Carmela never did think about what anyone else thought.

[BlackIce]

The green-eyed Wolf-Pokemon childishly sneered at the Kadabra with a curled lip. But what came next almost made the Mightyena fall off his chair.

Katashiko rose to his large hind paws and exited the unoccupied booth, a smug smile curving his long, pointed muzzle. *Well, not going to introduce me, Orpheus?* He inquried with a surprised tone, adjusting his telepathy so that not only Fang would hear, but Melania and Carmela could too. His whiskers twitched and he huffed, although the display of his offensive taken posture was feigned.

"Katashiko!" He hissed growing extremely aggravated, for two reasons. One, he called him by his first name, and two, was going to pull some stunt and make the Mightyena incredibly embarrassed. Fang's bushy tail was sticking out straight, another warning the Psychic-type should heed.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Melania's ears clamped onto her skull a little bit more as she heard Fang hissing at the Kadabra as well as showing warning signs likw having his tail stick out, yet she was also a little curious. Fang never told him his real name to her which made her question on why didn't he tell her his name in the first place?

Carmela, as usual was still unimused by the Kadabra comming here and then making a rucuss and then making the Mightyena uptight and causing some other Pokemon to leave, but there was barely anyone around since it was night time, and that of course never helped her since she wsn't getting any sleep. Suddenly she noticed Melania getting out of her seat and walking off, she didn't have time for any of this at all.

[BlackIce]

Fang shook his head vigorously, knocking himself from his daze. He stared dumbfounded after Melania and sent a glare Katashiko's way. The Mightyena jumped down from his seat and trotted after her. She seemed too good a friend to lose because of the Kadabra.

Katashiko wasn't planning on anything like that to happen and looked to the Nidorino with flattened ears. He nodded to her and seemingly vanished in thin air, teleporting back to their home to further meditate.

"Melania, wait up!" Fang called after her. Why oh why does Katashiko have to be the wisest Kadabra, but be so stupid when it came to things like this? The green-eyed wolf felt a headache coming on. He knew it was caused by Katashiko, but the powerful psychic-type couldn't stop his body from emitting Alpha Waves.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Melani kept on walking on the paved roads, she did of course feel a little bad for leaving Fang like that with that Kadabra and Carmela, but she never liked it when there were two annoying Pokemon wreaking something like that and always left. But then she heard something and flicked her ears back, it was Fang calling her and telling her to wait up.

She turned around to see the scarred up Mightyena walking up towards her but then looked up to see the Kadabra vanish and Carmela leaning on a chair and looking at the two Mightyena. She looked back down at Fang again and walked up to him."Hey look... I'm sorry I went off like that, I mean it's just that I don't like being in situations like that." She said as her head drooped down as well a her once pointed ears as she felt bad for herself.

[BlackIce]

Fang's eyes were soft and he took a deep breath to regain control of his breathing. "Don't worry about it. That Kadabra was named Katashiko. I am very good friends with him and he's a little odd. I don't think I've ever seen him openly out in public like that, but he is very wise. I guess he just... is weird whenever I get a new friend." He explained with flattened ears.

"He called me Orpheus because that's my first name, but I don't like it when people call me that for reasons I don't care to explain." The Mightyena added with a troubled gaze hoping he could clear some confusion up. Memories of his father and brother, and deceased mother, came rushing back and he couldn't suppress an involuntary shudder.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

As the blue-eyed Mightyena listened to what Fang has to say about his friend the Kadabra and how he felt odd when Fang was making friends, she lifted her head a little bit so she could see Fang more clearly and saw that his ears had drooped down and began talking about why he never used his name because of certain reasons and such.

Melania raised her ears as she lifted up her head and let a smile light up upon her face as she slowly nodded at him. "It's alright, I can understand about the whole acting odd around someone's new friend." She said as her voice had her usual calm and happy tone as she walked a little bit closer to the other wolf and give him a friendly lick on the cheek before backing up again to look at him at a full view.

"So, you wanna try again and order some dinner?" She asked him as she looked over at their empty table and seeing the Cafe was still open but Carmel had left the area, she looked back at Fang again and awaited an answer from him.

[BlackIce]

At first the wolf-like creature was a bit dazed at her lick, but tried to look as calm as possible. Even if he couldn't stop a tiny smile from tugging at his black lips Fang nodded eaggerly. He wanted to get to know this beautiful Mightyena better, and actually eat something. A growl erupted from his stomach and the green-eyed dark-type felt his ears burn in a blush, the rumble confirming his suspicions.

Fang shuffled his paws and shifted his weight in the process, and after a moment rose to his paws. He tilted his head in the direction of the Cafe and started for it, though slowly. The click of his claws against rough tar and cement was kind of hard to not notice, but Fang ignored it.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Melania nodded back at Fang and walked right beside him and at the same speed which was nice and slow, for some reason she was at the upmost curious about Fang or from his real name Orpheus and wanted to know a little bit more about him. Though she couldn't exactly think with the clicking of Fang's claws tapping the paved walkways which irritated her a little bit.

"Hey Fang, do you ever get your claws trimmed at all? She asked him but she only wanted to think it and felt a little bit bad for asking him that question. "I-I'm sorry there, I didn't mean to ask you that... She said as she lowered her head a little bit as her ears fell to the back of her head feeling like an idiot for asking that.
