Survival of the Foxiest [Aiko/OPEN]

Aiko ran about in the forest, having pushed through a few days of living rather uncomfortably. Sleeping on rocks or in bushes was.. Quite annoying. Likely the most uncomfortable things she had ever slept in... The girl's clothing too was starting to get worn down and torn from her romps through the wilds. She was starting to get pretty hungry too... Sumika wasn't to be around for quite a while, so Aiko was out of luck in terms of food for the time being... Unless...

Aiko's ears and nose twitched at the sound and smell of... Deer! The girl ran on all fours to the source of the scent, huffing and panting as she went across the grass, almost sliding when she arrived at the source, making sure she was hidden. Two deer were present, a male and a female. They smelled... Pretty good. Aiko didn't quite know why, but she advanced anyway. Of course... Stealth was not Aiko's expertise.

She suddenly launched herself from hiding, having absolutely no idea what she was doing, or supposed to be doing. These actions just seemed.. Natural to her. The girl's body flung onto the male, alerting the female and causing her to sprint off. The male on the other hand, she clung fast to the tender brown back of him.

What the girl didn't expect... Was the deer to begin bucking and trying to get her off. Her claws were digging into the flesh, but that didn't stop her latter half from slapping up and down as the attempts to shake her off commenced. Aiko had absolutely no idea what was going on, or what she was even trying to achieve. She felt in control at first, like it was natural... But now she was quite screwed.

The deer was successful in getting her off, knocking her more to it's rear and giving a mighty kick, causing her to fly off into a tree, though it didn't come out of it unscathed. Not only did it have claw marks on it's body, Aiko's tail had distributed a strange black liquid from her tail as she was knocked about, dark splotches on the creature's body.

Aiko laid dazed, in pain as she was staring at the deer. Strange enough, the deer did not run. Instead, it staggered and soon fell from the sluggish, ungraceful movement, lying on the ground. Of course the deer wasnt seriously hurt or dying, but merely dropped the will to flight.

Aiko laid motionless as well, not dead, but quite injured. The girl had sustained injuries to her shoulder and temple, though what actually got her shaken was being thrown against the tree. She wasn't mortally injured, death wouldn't come immediately at least.

"Sit... Up..."

Aiko was suddenly forcing herself to sit up against the tree, her breathing having become labored and the need to sleep strengthening.

"Call for help... Don't... Fall.. Asleep..."

Aiko forced her eyes open, and through her confused and dazed state, she took in a deep breath, and shrieked,
"HEEEEEELLLLPP-"
Her call was abruptly halted by coughing, her head hanging with her body trembling from the shock of being harmed. The pain was too intense for her to properly acknowledge momentarily, but she knew something wasn't okay.
