[PRIVATE: DGFone & Thewhistlerify]

Umeme frowned when the lion asked for Delano. They didn't seem harmful, but the question was odd to say the least. Nervously, she sat next to Muroki, and watched the two lions.

Delano opened his eyes when he heard his name. He at first thought that it was Muroki, but then he realized that he didn't recognize the name. He slowly removed his head from Lina's and turned around, finding himself face to face with two strange lions. "Yeah?" He asked. "I'm Delano. Why do you ask?"

Moto laughed. "Oh, I meant, do you want to dance?" He asked. "With me?" He chuckled again, finding amusement in her misunderstanding. "Besides, I think Umeme is the best to teach Muroki."

want to be one of the strange lions?

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki was feeling just as uncomfortable about the fact that two strangers were all of a sudden there looking for his brother. Lina opened her eyes when Delano suddenly moved, becoming just as confused when she saw the two lions. Why were they looking for Delano, she had no idea at all.

Fadhili chuckled, "Oh, that's what you meant..." she said, finding her own predicament amusing as well. "Well I'd love to dance." she giggled and placed her paw in Moto's paw which was held out in her direction. "Still, you should talk to the kid, this is serious business." she had a serious expression for a moment but it soon turned back into a smile, "Where were we?"

Sure, but I don't even know what they're here for...

[DGFone]

Delano didn't know why two lions would look for him, but he hid his nervousness as he stared at them. "Why are you here?" He finally asked, "What do you want?" A felling told him that it was nothing good, but in the small chance that it was, he didn't want to appear rude. Delano quickly glanced over at the others, but saw that they were just as clueless as he was.

Moto smiled as he started circling Fadhili, starting a dance. "Alright, I'll talk to them," he said, "it wouldn't hurt them to learn to dance." As he circled her, he reached out and placed a paw next to hers. "Ladies lead, remember," he told her and let her make the next move.

[TheWhistlerify]

The two lions exchanged a few looks before looking back at Delano. "You're under arrest." he said bluntly, gaining shocked gasps from the others, especially Lina, who was obviously the one who was most upset to hear something like that. She was about to protest when the lion said to her, "Miss, please step away from this lion, he's coming with us." Lina was speechless. Why would the police decide to arrest Delano?

Fadhili couldn't help but giggle at Moto's lack of awareness to what she really meant. "That's not what I was talking about..." she decided to drop the subject and placed her paw in Moto's paw before starting to dance with him. Whenever they did this she would feel as if they were madly in love teens again, and she liked it.

[DGFone]

Delano was shocked just as much as the others, but didn't show it. "And why is that?" He asked the two lions, his voice cold and slightly threatening. He felt that Lina didn't move away from him yet, and it gave him some reassurance.

Umeme felt Muroki tense next to her, and placed a paw on his in order to reassure him. But like everyone else, she didn't know what was going on and was only able to just stay there and see what would happen.

Moto frowned slightly when Fadhili mentioned that he also didn't get her, but when she joined him in the dance, he completely forgot about it. As they moved together, he smiled at her, feeling alive and happy.

[TheWhistlerify]

The lion looked at Lina who hasn't moved yet, "Miss, this lion is from the underworld and is dangerous, please step away." Lina continued to stand there with her mouth open. Muroki could feel his blood boil up. How could they be thinking that Delano was part of the underworld if he was actually the one who helped take them out? The lion spoke again, this time to Delano, "Come with us willingly or else we'll have to use force."

[DGFone]

Delano was about to argue back, but he looked at Lina and Umeme. He was certain that Muroki would be able to defend himself if push came to shove, but Delano didn't want to risk Lina and Umeme. And even if he couldn't see them, Delano was certain that there were more lions ready to assist if they would be needed.

He smiled a little at Lina. "I'm sure that this is simply a mistake," he told her, "I'll be back before you know it." Delano got up and nodded at the lions. "Alright, I'll go," he said. not really having a choice. He moved over to Muroki first though. "Take care of them while I'm gone," he whispered. "I'll see you soon."

Turning to the lions, Delano sighed as they impatiently motioned for him to follow them. "I'm ready," he said steadily. He didn't know what would happen to him, but he wanted to look strong in front of Lina.

[TheWhistlerify]

Noticing Delano begin to walk away with the lions, Lina rushed over, only to be forced to stop when the same lion put a paw against her. "I said stay back." he and his partner were not allowed to hurt any citizens, that is as long as they didn't disobey orders. All Lina could do was stand there as watch as the three walked away until they were out of sight.

[DGFone]

When Lina rushed forward, Delano nearly lost his composure as he felt like he needed to stay with her. But when she was pushed away from him, he growled slightly at the lions. They came for him, but they better leave Lina alone.

The lions hurried Delano along, and he was only able to quickly glance back at Lina and the others before he was ushered out of view. Annoyed, he followed the lions. "So can I at least know why I am being arrested?" He asked them. He didn't really resist back at the den because Lina might get hurt because of him, but now that it was just him and them, he didn't have to worry about anyone else.

Delano then stopped walking. "I'm not going to move until you answer me," he told the lions, waiting for a reply.

[TheWhistlerify]

Lina stood there with her mouth open for nearly an entire minute, looking around at Muroki and Umeme. "What..." her tone was shaky, "What was that?"

The lion frowned at Delano, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me back then? You're under arrest for assisting the underworld. Thought you could just sneak into our home and live like you've done nothing? Well too bad." lions from the underworld obviously made him sick. With that the lion growled at him, telling him to keep going. Now that Muroki, Umeme and Lina were not around, there wasn't anyone who could help Delano in case he decided to cause problems. There were trained just as well as he was if not better, so running away was also not an option.
