A/N: Good news! Rainleaf-Snowflash-Rainy-Snowy is going to continue Wisps of Smoke for me. I gave her the basic plotline, and I hope she begins soon! Please look for it.

We traveled home, stopping at the sight of Shakra's death.

"We should bury her body," I meowed. Thunder nodded in agreement. As we started digging, rain began to fall from the sky, adding an extra layer of gloom to an already tragic scene. Water dripped from Thunder's nose, like teardrops. By the time Shakra's tortoiseshell fur was hidden under the earth, we were soaked to the bone.

"L-l-l-let's g-g-go h-home!" Thunder chattered, shivering from the cold.

"Agreed."

When we finally arrived, Berry was staring at us with wide green eyes.

"Where were you?" she asked, "Your paws are covered in mud, and you're both soaking wet!"

Thunder glanced over to me, and I nodded. Berry needed to know.

"We were burying a body," Thunder explained, "There was a dead she-cat by a tree back there, and we felt like we needed to bury her."

"What about prey?" Berry asked, "You don't seem to be carrying any."

"We had to leave it when it started raining," I lied, "Sorry."

She purred. "It's fine. You were doing the right thing."

I curled my lip. "You have no idea," I whispered, half to myself. Berry looked at me critically before pressing her fur into mine.

"I'm just glad you're okay," she murmured. I licked the top of her head fondly.

"You're great, you know that?"

She smiled. "I do now."

I growled at her playfully.

"Well, you two lovebirds enjoy yourselves," Thunder smirked.

"Oh, we will," Berry purred gruffly, catching me off guard. An unusual look sparked in her green eyes. Thunder padded away, not noticing the un-Berrylike response.

"It's getting late," I yawned, "Let's go to sleep."

"Actually," she whispered, "I was thinking we could have a little fun tonight."

"What kind of fun?" I asked.

She rubbed her head against the bottom of my chin, giving me a chance to inhale her sweet scent.

"You'll see."
