Tough Love [Private]

[KiarasMate]

Much to Zina’s amazement, her white lie worked as she felt Kondo’s immense body moving off of her. Acting very slowly as it was apparent to her that she couldn’t outrun this larger lion within their current confines, Zina opted to try and make a more subtle escape as she hissed through bared teeth at Kondo.

”You’re full of crap, you know that! I saw that look in your eyes and let’s just say, you don’t hide your shame well. If you were just looking for someone to join this made up pride of yours that you speak so convincing of, you wouldn’t have threatened my life when we first met. Clearly, if that’s your way of treating a lioness, it’s no wonder why you’re alone.”

Carefully brushing off her fur from the dirt that had been matted in it from Kondo’s rough treatment, Zina kept a weary eye on the brown furred male as she started to make her way past him now, not even giving him a second glance as she spoke over her shoulder.

”You made the right choice to let me go you know. Those herbs would have killed you nice and slowly, a fate that I still think is most deserving of lecherous bastards such as yourself. Take your pathetic life and be thankful for that. We’re not all lucky enough to rule over lands and have such perfect lives like some hot headed lions.”

Hoping that Kondo was sincere in his words, Zina kept her back turned upon him, knowing that the trick she had pulled would still remain in Kondo’s mind, hopefully preventing him from laying another paw on her, although the mere act of keeping her back towards any creature, let alone a male of such magnitude was still a chance she rarely ever took. Feeling her heart rate beginning to subside now, Zina felt as though things were starting to settle down, but nothing in her life was ever this easy and something told her that she hadn’t seen the last of Kondo.

Impressed by Zina's acrimonious behavior, Kondo remained inanimate as he listened closely to what she was saying. After her abusive voice trailed off, the brown furred male kept those orangery, apprehensive orbs focused on her figure as she leisurely made her way passed him. Maintaining a integrated gaze on the white furred shaman, Kondo's fuzzy burnished color ears perked up again to hear her fearless voice.

Immediately after her voice slowly deceased, Kondo carefully eyed the white furred lioness' backside. He wasn't amused by her astringent attitude and advertised his sharp, whitish teeth in a state of animosity. When the white furred shaman made enough separation, Kondo energetically rushed ahead to seek his own personal retaliation. Words couldn't illustrate how agitated he was feeling as he eyed the lioness' formidable pouch all the while closing the extension between both of them.

Getting dangerously close to her suggestive rear, Kondo restrict his speed to a minimum and eyed her tempting furry butt. He Fell victim to her suggestive ways and ending up getting himself very close to her delectable tail end. His cold, wet, black nose pad gently thrust against her tail to lightly brush it out of the way. Mere seconds later, Kondo got a big whiff of her intoxicating scent as deep rumbling sounding purrs emitted from his throat.

Realizing what he was doing, Kondo gasped and glanced up to see if Zina perceived on what he was achieving. Despite his lust for this lioness, the brown furred male hastily wrapped both of his herculean forearms around her slender frame, instantaneously bringing her down onto her side with a flutter. Consecutively moving himself over on top of her, Kondo focused his attention on her buffalo pouch, slowly inching a fore paw towards the obscure object as he spoke in a crude voice.

"Mmm, you should feel lucky I'm in a good mood princess. Your exciting scent really enticed me to be less aggressive. By the way, do you need this pouch around your neck?"

The brown furred male grinned deviously as his immense sized fore paw came into contact with her buffalo pouch. In a swift movement, Kondo pulled onto her precious pouch and elevated his paw to get it off around her neck. The curious male visually examined the mysterious pouch until he was feeling confident enough that it wasn't hazardous as he previously thought. Moderately moving the pouch out of paws reach with his feline nose, Kondo turned his attention back on Zina and spoke in a calm, but aggressive voice.

"What are you going to do now that you're not in control of your pouch? If you try to make any sudden moves on attacking me, I swear, I'll discard that pouch from you forever. So, how about you tell me more about yourself princess. Really, what's in that pouch? If you think you're going to get out of this one, you're sorely mistaken. I'm not going to allow you to walk away, especially from you did to me."

[KiarasMate]

Everything seemed to happen in the blink of an eye. Feeling something cold and wet coming dangerously close to her nether region, combined with the hot sensation from Kondo’s breath beating against her hinds, Zina let out a defiant roar as she was about to turn upon her harasser, only to be pinned down once again by Kondo’s massive size, but this time, in a much more dire position. Feeling her body tensing up as the relentless male mounted her, Zina snarled angrily as she pressed her hind quarters firmly against the ground below, her tail tucked desperately beneath her as her last act of defense against her adversary. Feeling her temper quickly soaring, yet being unable to physically lash out at him from the way she was being subdued, the foul mouthed Shaman resorted to the only tactic she could think of, spitting spiteful comment after spiteful comment at Kondo.

”Get your ass off me you lecherous bastard! I’m warning you! If you so much as even think about…”

Zina’s voice trailed off as she felt Kondo pulling upon the pouch that was secured around her neck, invoking a gasp from her as she tried heroically to keep hold of her prized possession. Feeling the thick vine that wrapped around her neck, beginning to give way, Zina’s heart sank as the small pouch disappeared out of sight, signaling that Kondo had swiped it. Feeling all her courage and fight quickly leaving her now, the white furred lioness’ attitude seemed to take a nose dive as she broke down in tears, openly cursing Kondo for his actions as she tried to wriggle free once again, but to no avail.

”You heartless bastard! Give me my herb pouch back! I swear, if you do anything to it…I’ll…I’ll kill you myself!”

Trying her best to contort her upper half so she could at least turn about face to look her tormentor in his cold eyes, Zina found it near impossible to strike him with her unsheathed claws, only managing to spit a small amount of saliva into Kondo’s face as she growled ferociously and spoke again in a callus tone.

”I told you damn it! I’m just a Traveling Shaman and those are my herbs you have in your filthy paws! You have no use for them, so just give them back! That’s all I’m telling you and so help me, if you even think about trying to mate with me, I’ll make you suffer through such pain that not even all the herbs in the whole damn lands will be able to save you!”

[CheetahCat]

Plainly amused by Zina's reaction concerning the buffalo pouch, Kondo lowered himself further down until his furry brown haunches came into contact with the white furred lioness' mid section. The feel of her constricted thin tail brought a delighted smile to form around the Nalrisu King's ebony muzzle lips as he attend to her obscene verbal assault. When her bashful muzzle came to a end, Kondo fixated his orangery eyes on the angry shaman's furry face as she unanticipatedly spat on his dignifying furry face.

Feeling all of his affectionate side precipitously coming to an end, the barbaric furred male applied more of his already smothering weight against the young lioness' embodiment in frustration as he bellowed fiercely.

"You want your beloved pouch back? Guess what! It isn't going to happen now! I'm tired of your miserly attitude and if you think you're going to get out of this situation, my god, let there be a MIRACLE FOR YOU!"

Directly after his tantrum, Kondo growled in a admonish affectation and forced himself to ascend off of Zina. Ensuing more seriously then before, Kondo rushed over to where he tossed the senseless buffalo pouch, keeping a dissatisfied eye on the young female in case she were to pull off any other hopeless stunt. The brown furred male continuously padded along, altering his attention back on the shaman's personal accessory as he discontinued his march when he was approximately paw-finger's reach of the absurd soft container. All of his severe dislike was originating from this receptacle sac, and without hesitation, Kondo snatched the buffalo hide pouch from the ground with his sharp piercing teeth.

The Nalrisu King rearranged the vine around his acuate like teeth until it was firmly secured and confined. He then turned his attention back on the churlish lioness and spoke in a humorless tone.

"Shedding tears isn't going to get you this pouch back, princess. You've had your fun, but now it's mine."

Showing no remorse of his recent activity, Kondo took a few tardily steps back as his pending escape was particularly behind him. He had no idea where this path will take him, but it'll absolutely be much better to get away from this impervious shaman.

Feeling that their separation was far enough, Kondo flashed Zina one last grin to demonstrate his accomplishment as he turned around and bolted away at breakneck speeds. The royal male desperately tried to avoid any vegetation that were obstructing his path as he accelerated those immense fore paws speedily in attempt to get a favorable position. Concurrently with his escape, earsplitting sounds of foliage and vegetation can be heard as Kondo's persistent fore paws rattled on the contaminated landscape.

[KiarasMate]

Gasping for breath as Kondo forced more of his massive size atop her slender frame, Zina started to feel as though her eminent fate would come to an end at any second, as the large male had her in the perfect position to end her life if he so chose to. In an instant however, Zina felt all the weight atop her, suddenly depart, as she coughed and caught her breath, looking over at the departing male with a hateful stare before she picked herself up and started to search frantically for her herb pouch. Finding absolutely no sign of it however, and with Kondo already clearly out of sight, Zina’s mind sadly came to the conclusion that the heartless lion had made off with it. Feeling her temper boiling over once again, yet truly not wishing to give chase after the disreputable feline, Zina hesitated for a moment, torn between what actions she should take.

Knowing full well that she could just as easily leave this horrific scene and bothersome male in the past and just gather more herbs and make another pouch, there was something much more important however, that kept the white furred Shaman from doing so. Feeling as though, her whole life was contained within her beloved herb pouch that Kondo had stolen and feeling bitter hatred towards the male who so daringly stole her life away from her, Zina quickly made up her mind and started to trail after Kondo.

It was quite easy to follow where Kondo had gone, as the trail of trampled foliage and flora made the perfect map to follow as Zina plotted just how she would get her belongings back from the ruthless male once she caught up with him. Several plans passed through her thoughts but all had major repercussions that could arise if something were to go wrong. Keeping her options open for the time being, Zina dashed along the warn path that Kondo had so unknowingly provided for her, her eyes looking for any sign of the fugitive feline as her senses worked overtime to try and pin point his exact location.

[CheetahCat]

Desperately running along a more narrow path, Kondo's mind was beginning to race with the possibilities of his outcome if he were to get caught. The loud crackling of flora and vegetation weren't diminishing down and Kondo's heart was generating loud thunderous beats against his furry chest. Knowing too well that Zina is feasibly on his trail, Kondo had absolutely no idea where her physical location was due to the deficiency of her scent. Even though there were no signs of the white furred lioness anywhere, the brown furred male persisted onward, avoiding any obstructive vegetation life that seemingly to come out of nowhere. With his immense, powerful fore paws gradually becoming exhausted in each agonizing step, Kondo's rhythmically heart was beginning to pound against his chest harder. The state of panic seeped through the male's mind as he felt his speed restricting.

It was only a matter of time until Kondo took one last step, terminating his outburst in the middle of nowhere in this dense jungle. Panic-stricken and confused, Kondo anxiously glanced in every direction, unaware where his antagonist can be as he gasped severely for oxygen. During his suspended break, the brown furred male took this opportunity to properly adjust the shaman's most prized possession around his furry neck. The repulsive taste of her vine was getting the better of him as he shook out his fully grown, reddish mane to make himself more comfortable.

Not too long after adjusting Zina's exclusive possession, Kondo's swivel fuzzy ears perked up to hear an crepitate sound of twigs and the combination of shrubs coming from behind. Startled by this encounter, the male's heart began to accelerate at great speeds as extreme fright gripped him. Not wasting anymore time, Kondo quickly composed himself and bolted away where the sound was originating from.

Everything seemed to happen to fast as Kondo carelessly pressed on, unaware that he was on a collision course with a massive tree. In matter of minutes, Kondo's fleeting furry body came crashing into a tree head on as a loud injurious thud can be heard. Completely surprised and hurt, Kondo had no idea what just happened to him as he stumbled around in a small circle, trying to stay balanced as he heard more of those crushing flora and vegetation drawing nearer.

With the combination of pain and confusion, Kondo couldn't take anymore steps. He was experiencing excruciating pain around his head which affected his balance as he staggered out of the dense jungle and into a more dazzling landscape. The first thing he distinguished right away was a large rock from a distance. It was long, thick and pointy from his observation.

Unable to muster anymore strength to continue, Kondo collapsed over onto his furry side and eyed up at the bluish skies. If the persistent lioness had any chance of capturing him, right now would be her opportunity.

[KiarasMate]

Staying hot on Kondo’s trail as the path of crushed plants and vegetation seemed to grow more and more obvious with each passing step, Zina could sense that she was growing nearer to where the thieving lion was, his unmistakable scent not going unnoticed by the white furred Shaman’s acute sense of smell, Zina quickened her pace as she broke clear from the dense jungle, only to stumble right over Kondo, who had collapsed in an exhausted pile directly in the middle of the trail, sending the white furred lioness crashing to the ground as well. Quickly composing herself and spitting out a mouth full of earth due to her rough landing, Zina turned around and faced the fallen male. Noticing just how disoriented Kondo looked, zina took full advantage of the situation as she darted forward and quickly took hold of her precious pouch that still was tightly secured around the large feline’s neck.

Pulling as if her life depended on it, not caring if her exerted efforts would strangle the downed male or not, as she could care less at this point, just as long as she got back what rightfully belonged to her, Zina tugged mercilessly upon the vine that held the pouch around Kondo’s neck. With a sickening snap, the vine conceded under the pressure that was being applied, sending both Zina and her beloved herb pouch, to go tumbling backwards. Knowing that the dazed male could recover at any given minute, Zina quickly scooped up her belonging in her maw, being extra careful as not to puncture the hide pouch before she ran straight forward and delivered a smarting slap straight across Kondo’s face as she hissed through her closed muzzle.

”You’re lucky I don’t kill you where you stand you jackass. Consider yourself lucky!”

Fortunately for Kondo, Zina’s claws had been sheathed for that forceful swipe of her paw, as Zina herself didn’t want to enrage the large male further than he probably already would be, knowing that he had let her get away. Perhaps if she knew she could have actually slain the male in a single shot, she might have attempted such an act, but due to Kondo’s sheer size and strength, Zina opted to let well enough alone as she darted off towards the distant rock formation upon the horizon, hoping to at least get a bit of distance between herself and her nemesis before he would even have the chance to pursue her further. Little did Zina know that she was heading towards even more unfamiliar lands with more strangers that would test her limits even further.

[CheetahCat]

Knowing full well that Zina is going to encounter his humiliating situation very soon, Kondo mustered up the rest of his stamina to get into a sitting position. The short amount of break he experienced didn't last too long however as Zina's slender frame came crashing into him, instantly sending the distressed male backwards. Landing indubitably hard on his furry back, Kondo was too disorientated to even make any sudden movements as he already knew who collided into him. Even attempting to accomplish any hasty move on his part will ultimately be his downfall. Battered and weaken, Kondo's eyes fixated on the angry shaman who was walking with deliberation in mind as she raised one of her sheathed fore paws. Anticipating what was bound to come his way, Kondo tightly closed both of his debilitate eyes in hopes to reduce any pain that was going to be inflicted upon him as the lioness advanced closer.

Fate apparently wasn't on his side right now as the crackling vegetation and flora were getting louder, indicating that the angry shaman was within range. After hearing the last snap of flora, Kondo partially opened up his weaken eyes, only to fixate them on the ferocious lioness who was in paws reach of him and comprising a facial expression of determination to annihilate him. Panic-stricken and perplexed on what to do, the beat up male eyed the lioness' fore paw intently as it came crashing down across his furry face. instantly after her brutal attack, a loud yelp escaped Kondo's ebony muzzle lips as he brought up a fore paw to apply it on his newly found wound. Even though her claws were concealed, the pain wasn't any means artificial.

With the sounds of Zina's fore paws becoming more remote, Kondo took what's left of his dignity and eased up on all fours, shaking out his reddish mane to eliminate his bleary sight. Despite the fact that Zina didn't abolish him right then and there, Kondo wasn't going to allow her to get away from her recent activities and he swore to get vengeance on his personal interest.

It didn't take long for Kondo's eyes to properly adjust to their former glory as he glanced over to where the retreating lioness was progressing. Visually observing what route she was taking, it had the appearance that her destination was going to be near that monumental looking rock formation. Not wasting anymore time, Kondo reorganized himself and steadily pursued the white furred shaman. Even though she caused him so much embarrassment and grief, there was something intriguing about her that persisted him to keep following her. Although she may disapprove his existence, there was no way a rare lioness such as herself was going to slip out of his greedy paws, no matter what consequences he'll have to take.

Carrying on in a more stealth approach, Kondo's orangery eyes were fixated on Zina's backside as she leisurely made her way towards the puzzling rock formation. Being careful not to disrupt this gorgeous lioness' attention span, Kondo made sure each step he took avoided any crumbled flora that could easily pin point his physical location. As they were advancing closer to the unknown, Kondo couldn't help but feel that there were other lions wandering around. His cold, wet, black nose pad discovered unfamiliar scents lingering ahead of them and with the help of these deviating scents, they provided a nice camouflage to conceal his own aroma.

Little did Zina or Kondo realized, they were journeying towards Pride Rock, an established complex that is homed to a whole pride of lions. Amongst these lions were King Simba. A noble, regal and polite king who took great pride on his share of responsibility for taking care of the Pride Lands. Another addition to his powerful pride was his queen, Nala, who is an formidable huntress and passionate lioness who keeps the pride's daily food supply sufficient at all times. Then there's Princess Kiara, a soft-hearted, generous and affectionate lioness who is determined to one day be a extraordinary queen. Also, their newest addition to the pride was a young Kovu, who was recently selected to be King Simba's heir. Despite his deceiving looks, deep within Kovu's interior yielded a powerful and enduring lion who's capable of defending himself and others under extreme circumstances when the time calls for it.

Nestled deep within Pride Rock laid a young, glorious and attractive lioness. She was resting soundlessly against her loving mate as her scorching hot furry body compressed firmly against his irresistible frame to retain warmth. During her serene slumber, a small portion of bright light settled upon her exhausted sealed eyes.

Brief moments after, Kiara opened up her innocent tired eyes and casually moved up on all fours with a long stretch. Her creamy colored furry body glimmered partially from the morning sun as she monitored everyone else in her pride. Realizing that they were still fast asleep, Kiara figured it wouldn't be wise to wake anyone up as she escorted herself away from the populace. Briskly moving out of Pride Rock and into the breezy, soothing air, Kiara inhaled the fresh oxygen deeply and descended down off of Pride Rock. Landing softly on a grassy surface, the curious lioness smiled warmly and ventured off towards their personal drinking quarters.

Unfortunately for Kiara, she was padding along casually in the same direction where Zina and Kondo were coming from, but to her lack sense of comprehension, there was no way she's going to catch wind of them first.

[KiarasMate]

Feeling her heart still pounding wildly within her chest, yet feeling a bit more comfortable now that she had left the dense jungle behind her and was surrounded by nothing but open grasslands, making it very easy to spot any approaching danger, Zina took a moment to fix her beloved herb pouch. Carefully snipping off the ruined part of the vine that had snapped during her struggle to get it back from Kondo, Zina skillfully tied her precious belonging back around her neck, the length of the vine causing the pouch to rest neatly against her neck now, covering the once visible scar there. Satisfied with her work, the white furred Shaman dashed off once more, occasionally looking back over her shoulder to see if Kondo was giving chase or not. Seeing no sign of him however, Zina gradually began to calm down, her body un-tensing from the previous event as she continued along her way.

Taking another quick glance behind her, Zina felt as though, she was in the clear now. Turning to face forward, the white furred lioness quickly slammed on the breaks as she was rapidly approaching an oncoming lioness. Coming to a rather ungraceful looking halt a few paces away from where the golden furred feline was, Zina hesitated as she took a quick step back, always being a bit uneasy whenever it came to a new face however, seeing that this was a lioness, Zina didn’t feel the apprehension that she typically would if it had been the opposite gender. Pulling herself together quickly though, Zina’s convincing demeanor shine through as she addressed the young looking lioness in a polite voice.

”Pardon me Miss, but I was wondering if you could tell me where I am right now. You see, I had a rather unpleasant encounter with this rogue male not too long ago and I’ve been running for my life for the past moon or so. I’ve completely lost track over my surroundings and feel a bit lost.”

Stretching the truth just a bit, in the hopes of gaining sympathy from this new lioness, Zina stood proudly as she waited for a response from the golden furred lioness, her eyes carefully studying her in a thoughtful way.

==========

Feeling the absence of a warm body next to him, Kovu’s eyes finally began to open as sleep slowly left him. Taking a moment to let his body and mind to shake off the effects of sleep, the future king of The Pride Lands looked about the main den, spotting his father-in-law, snuggled up against the cream colored queen of the lands. Not wishing to disturb the royal couple, yet seeing no sign of his mate, Kovu silently rose to his paws, giving his body a long and enjoyable stretch before he quietly padded out of the large abode and onto the promontory of the majestic structure. Taking a seat at the very end of the jutting rock, Kovu surveyed the lands while he let the sun’s warm rays bring himself to a more awakened status.

Back inside the main den, Nala’s soft frame slowly began to move as she too began to shake off the effects of sleep. Yawning and looking over at her beloved mate, a warm smile worked its way upon her cream colored muzzle as she leaned in to nuzzle her king in a loving fashion.

[CheetahCat]

Staying hot on Zina's trail as her exhilarating scent drifted behind, making it much more convenient for the brown furred male to keep a continual approach, Kondo's fixated orangery orbs followed the shaman's every movement as she made her way towards a small clearing. Acknowledging that she was coming to a sluggish stop, Kondo carefully moved himself over to a nearby shrub, cautiously maneuvering inside to further conceal his existence. Painstakingly keeping a constant stare on what she was doing, wondering why she came to a abrupt stop, yet there were no signs of any lion or lioness coming close to them and the strange scents he was smelling earlier were getting convincing, Kondo eventually altered his attention on the white lioness' valuable pouch. It appeared she was repairing the loose vine that snapped from their previous encounter or that's what it appeared to be.

After the white furred lioness repaired her peculiar pouch and starting to dash off towards the monumental rock formation, Kondo remained behind, waiting patiently until the unaware lioness journey further ahead. With her fascinating figure becoming more isolated, the male eased out from his substantial bush and instantly dashed onward without hesitation, trying his best efforts to try and close the distance between them both at reasonable space.

During their fast trekking through wide grasslands, both lions were dangerously getting closer to the abstruse rock formation as an exclusive scent caught Kondo's attention. Not realizing where this strange scent was coming from, Kondo continued his lengthy pursuit on Zina and preserved his cunning spheres on her backside. Not long after his encounter with the aberrant scent, out of the blue, the fleeing lioness came to a grinding halt. Like a bolt of lightning, the sneaky male came to an immediate standstill and spotted another lioness make her way over to where the white shaman was situated. Unlike Zina, this lioness was more intimidating, especially the fact from her characteristics in combination with her resemblance of a noble pride. Not risking any chances of blowing his cover, the frighten lion lowered himself firmly against the ground in hopes this will obscure his presence as he paid close attention to what was being said.

Kiara leisurely padded along the familiar path, having no idea what fate was about to bring to her as she heard a loud ruffling sound of soil coming from ahead. Fallen completely surprised from this recent activity, the young princess's innocent eyes were fixated on a abnormal, white furred lioness who came to a breathtaking stop, having a facial expression of something was bugging her. Adjusting her eyes on this remarkable lioness, thoroughly examining her physical features as the golden lioness noticed a bizarre looking pouch around her furry neck. Kiara had no idea what this contained, but she wasn't going to bring up anything in regards to her personal belongings. With confusion seeping into Kiara's mind, she listened intently to what this white lioness was saying. Even though the story felt convincing, Kiara couldn't help but feel bad for this lioness as she pasted an affectionate smile across her inky black muzzle lips before speaking in reassuring voice.

"Don't worry, it's okay. You're actually in the vicinity of the Pride Lands. It's a royal, luxurious place and we welcome all creatures here, so don't be alarmed by my presence sweetie. We're a friendly pride and I'm sure we can help you about this rogue problem, but before we jump into that, my name's Princess Kiara. I'm the daughter of Simba and Nala. I don't know if you heard of them or not, but what's your name sweetie? You do look really upset, would you like to come home with me at Pride Rock? It's the big rock formation that's behind me. I'm sure once you meet my pride, we'll be able to discuss about this rogue problem you're encountering."

Back in Pride Rock, Simba was beginning to budge from his slumber as he felt soft loving nuzzles coursing along his fully grown mane. Yawning tiredly and sluggishly moving up into a sitting position, Simba opened up his eyes and anchored them on his adoring mate, leaning in to give her a full body nuzzle as he spoke in a loving, but groggily tone.

"Did you sleep well last night love? It appears Kovu and Kiara woke up before us."

Simba gestured a fore paw in the direction where the two sleeping lions were last settled.
