Character Description
'Kanu' means 'Wild Cat' in Swahili.
Girlfriend: Adimu
Mother: Adhara
Father: Unknown
Most of the girls, considered Kanu to be a hotshot. All except Adimu. She (I) has no interest in boys whatsoever. As time went on, he eventually stole the hearts of every lioness ('cept 'Dimu) and returned them broken- hearted, including Adimu's friends: Afya and Afrika. He got to know Adimu through her brother, Amiri. (Note: Amiri fell in love with Afrika when comforting her about Kanu.) Adimu would always cringe and be disgusted by his futile attempts to flirt with her. But his attempts were real. He genuinely loved her but Adimu didn't know that. She slapped him once.
And then one day, Adimu was in the Outlands by mistake and was nearly eaten by a crocodile and he saved her.
"They landed on the ledge together, falling over one another. Adimu landed on top of Kanu, breathing heavily. She got off him and hastily said thanks.
"That's okay," he said. They studied each others faces for a minute before Adimu walked away. Kanu, not to be deterred, sat up and walked after her.
"Sorry," he said.
"For what?"
"For... for... you know. Being an idiot." Adimu kept walking. "I know you're not going to talk to me but hear me out." Adimu stopped in her tracks and looked thoughtfully back at him. For the first time in his life, Kanu felt like an idiot. He walked up to her and slowly, licked her cheek. She looked at him in surprise and disgust. "What's wrong with you?" she screamed.
Kanu told Amiri the truth and Amiri told Adimu, who got really annoyed. Kanu was just sitting by himself, without his posse or any of the girls. He felt Adimu lie down beside him.
"Sorry," she said.
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have done that to the other girls. I'm an idiot," he said. He cocked his head towards her. "I'd have not got you by that method." He expected to feel a slap on his face but instead he felt Adimu, licking him. She smiled at him, got up and walked away. From that day on, they were 'girlfriend and boyfriend' and everyone in the savannah teased them, or Kanu. He didn't take it well, though. He loves Adimu more than anything else.
