Going on long hunts was something that Shuikara enjoyed as a way to unwind a little bit after training for a few days. Sure all the sweat and blood that he spent during said hunting trips might not imply that it was relaxing but it was end result of it all that mattered. After all how can you say that a nice big and juicy meal for all your hard effort, something about it just adds a nice flavor or something to it that just makes the quality of it improve even by a smidge of it. Honestly if he could Shuiraka would hunt for his food every day all day but the convenience of a super market made things much more time efficient so...well he was allowed to take the easy way during these modern times wasn't he?

Back to reality going down to some plains seemed like the perfect spot for today's hunt as he heard whispers about hunters having their own luck in finding some good game. This tiger in particular...well it really did have to decide on wether it was good or bad luck that he stumbled into the nest belonging to a large dinosaur out here in the wilds. He's heard of them before and seen a few in some tv news but seeing on up close really did give off a different vibe. When there's something like a television and hundreds of miles distancing you from them they don't looks so harmless.

Up close it was a different story entirely.

Blue eyes couldn't keep themselves off of the pearly white teeth that slipped out from under the dinosaur's upper lip as Shuiraka tip toed his way alongside the sleeping beast. Just by looking at them he could see that they were the size of his own forearms and those were already big to begin with, so imaging those chomping through his body...really made him feel small. Then the sound of a twig snapping made himself feel even smaller as he tried to shrink down as he watched the rex's eyes fly wide open as it stared at him. Maybe it was his fight or flight response kicking into overdrive but as soon as they make eye contact the cat was already running away as fast as he could. He didn't even need to look back to see it chasing him, it was the feeling of the earth underneath him shaking telling him all that he needed to know as he ran as fast as his legs could take him as he flexed his hands and fingers.

He knew that he could run forever till his legs get tired and he would either be dino chow or be a free man but those choices were not his only one, there was another, it just included a lot of risk and was probably going to end up as the previous former choice he was thinking about being nothing but stringy meat in the lizard's mouth. Well it was now or never. So he slowed down his pace and felt the rex looming over him as it slammed its face into the dirt to take a bite out of him...only to open its mouth and realize that it bit into nothing but air.

"gotta try harder than that big fella!" The voice of its prey caught its attention as it looked over and saw the tiger in the air as if he jumped up to its eye and thrust his claws forward, filling its vision with the sight of his entire hand as a roar echoed throughout the land causing many other animals to look up in confusion. As the tiger landed on his feet wiping his hand against his pants he eyed the stumbling dinosaur and flexed his fingers once again as he rushed forward with his claws drawn out and reached out for the dinosaur who only managed to see him at the last second with his one remaining good eye. The rex was too big to really move out of the way like Shuiraka did so the tiger managed to find his mark in the form of the dinosaur's neck as his fingers barely managed to dig into the skin. Still it was enough for him to hold onto it as he dug the rest of his claws, hands and feet, into them as the rex started to get to its feet and thrash around to throw him off.

Still the tiger wasn't going to let go as the rex started to move about and try to find something to ram the tiger against. In its view came a sharp rock with a spire jutting out from the side of it. Without a moment's hesitation it ran towards the rock with Shuiraka looking back to see what was going on. The tiger only smiled as he jumped off and used his flight to hover by the rex's eyes waving at it before it rammed itself into the rock with a scream and struggled to keep itself back onto its feet before slumping over the rock. As his paws touched the feet the tiger looked up at the still body of the dinosaur and let out a whistle, "man...wonder if i could use you for more than meat....hm..."
