What I've Been Through [PRIVATE: AC & Nakisisa]

[AustralianChaos]

Spurred on by the voice, Simba did think. "Nala's here because she wants help in getting the Pridelands back, and she finds me...but I can't help, and I want her to stay. If I go back, I'll have to tell her everything, which will mean turning her against me...but if I stay, she'll leave, and I'll lose her anyway."

He looked towards the clearing where he had last seen Nala. "And there's him as well, whoever he is..." his thought train got sidetracked as he turned around, still unable to find the source of the voice hiding in the shadows. "Do you have any idea who that lion is...or why Nala's so fond of him?"

----------

Tanga stopped dead as Nala as she said the three words Tanga would never have expected to ever hear directed at him...except that one time he and Kulinda made the loving exchange of words. At first, Tanga thought she was joking with him, but he dismissed that thought as his brain registered the contented passion in the words, telling him she was being sincere, despite their very brief meeting.

As Nala gave him a kiss with equal passion, Tanga contemplated his feelings towards Nala, trying to remove any bias her similarity to Kulinda produced. But in the end, Nala's kind nature, regal beauty, and dismissive attitude towards Tanga's small, shy nature had him convinced. She might be a lot like Kulinda...but Nala was not Kulinda, and Tanga did not care either way, as he once more returned her kiss, putting his own passion and love into it.

when they finally came apart once more, Tanga stared happily into Nala's eyes...the aspect of her appearance that he loved the most, because it uniquely her...purring lightly even as one small issue came up. "I love you, too, Nala...but what about this other lion? What will you do now?"

[Nakisisa]

The voice just said nothing, just letting him work it out

---

"Tanga... he wont bother us, he's gone for now, and if he comes back, ill tell him I'm leaving. Anyways, as far as I, now am, Or the rest of the pride is concerned, he is dead, and wont ever come back." were her soft sweet words as she looked into Tagas deep set and loving eyes. She saw love in them, not like Simba's eyes when she had seen him, or the emotion she now felt.

Nala's mind was filled with emotion's she had never felt this before. She knew that love between her and Tanga was sound, and that she wanted to return, and hopefully have him as the king of the pride, she knew she had to ask soon. even Now. "Tanga.... will you… will you come back to my pride, and help the lionesses overthrow the king? Help me become your queen?” Nala asked, hopefully, looking down into Tangas eyes again

[AustralianChaos]

Simba soon realised the voice was not going to answer him, and so he kept going. "Nala said she had left to find help...so if this lion ends up helping her, she'll leave...and never come back."

He released a low growl of frustration. "I can't win. No matter what happens, I lose her. If I go back, she'll hate me for killing Mufasa, if I stay, she'll leave with him...and if I find some way of getting him away from her, she'll hate me for that, too. I just...I wish there was something...but the only way to get her back is to go back home...how can I possibly go back?"

His mind did throw up other alternatives, but Simba refused to even consider them. He was not going to turn to such cruel methods to try and win over Nala...his guilt-ridden mind could not take any more of it if he was to stoop to some under-handed act to keep Nala here.

----------

Tanga sighed sadly as Nala said this other male was dead in her eyes, but decided not to argue the point...if that was how she could cope with what she had been through, then he would not push her to settle things between the two of them...even if he felt that was what should be done. Besides, this lion was nowhere to be seen...it seemed like he had already vanished.

But his thoughts were banished as Nala asked him to help her, to go back and take over her home pride. "You...you want me to...to help you?" he asked, staring her nervously. He was not nervous because of reluctance, but rather lack of self-confidence, thanks once more to his bullying and undersized frame. "I...I want to, Nala, I really do...but what can someone like me, possibly do? I'm not a fighter, I'm not a negotiator...and I'm most certainly not a leader. I mean, I spent my entire time in my old pride as the victim of constant pranks and attacks by almost every other lion and lioness in the pride...I don't know the first thing about leading a pride...and look at me, do I look like someone who can otherthrow a king?"

All his days of torment had left Tanga with the belief that he was inferior to pretty much any other lion...the thought of going from the scum of one pride, to the king of another, just did not make sense in his mind. "Please try to understand, Nala, that I want to help...but I'm useless, I always have been."

[Nakisisa]

"You know as well as i do, you only have a few choices, i suggest you use them" the voice said, trying to spur the lion on

---

"Your not useless, you are amazing, you could do anything, and the kings a pansy compared to you.... and anyways, if you wont go back, then im staying with you, wherever you may go... I Love You" she said, before giving him another passionate kiss, hoping that it would allow him to gather the strength hto fight Scar, and free their kingdom. Or if not, she would have failed, and never returned, living with the one lion she loved. Tanga.

[AustralianChaos]

Simba kept thinking, and finally came to one, final conclusion. "I've lost her, no matter what happens...she might as well know the truth," he finally said, turning to head back to where he had left Nala.

The shame of his father's death was tearing him apart...he had to tell someone, anyone right now, or he felt he would explode. He'd buried the past for so long, and it was destroying him. He just needed to get it out, get it off his chest...even if it took Nala away from him.

----------

Tanga smiled weakly as Nala encouraged him. If this king was meant to be weak as well, then maybe, just maybe, there was a chance to help Nala. He still felt he was unfit to rule any pride...but if what Nala had said earlier about her home was true, then he could not, in good conscience, do nothing and keep Nala from what she desperately wanted.

As she kissed him once more, he returned it, before smiling at her. "Okay..." he finally said. "I can't make you leave your home behind, just for me...and if your really think I can do it...then I'll trust you. I love you, too," he then wrapped her in a soft hug. "But I think we should probably wait until tomorrow...no sense going back without any sleep."

[Nakisisa]

(( Again, sorry, don't know what came over me ))

"Ha! you've lost her, so why go back to her?" the voice snidely asked, knowing it would pain Simba more. "She has another lion now, you've even seen him, so what is there to go back to? Sneakily, the lion moved so he was in front of Simba, and dropped out of the tree,onto the ground, looking at Simba with his deep piercing eyes, trying to see what Simba was thinking.

---

Nala returned the hug a lot harder than she meant to, she was so happy and excited about finding some hep to return the Pride lands back to how they were, even if Simba was not coming home. Her life long best friend, staying here in the jungle, maybe one day, she would return, and try to find him... but then gain, maybe she would become queen and have Tanga become king.... she made herself even happier by the thought of it, Using as much passion, lust and love as she could muster (Which happened to be quite a lot) she kissed Tanag again, knowing it would be the best kiss yet.

After a while, she broke the kiss, blushing and looking into his eyes. "Thank you" she said weakly, moving herself so she would be happy while she slept. With Tanga still on his back, she rolled him onto one side, and crept in between his front paws, placing her paws around his neck, so she could look at is beautiful face, and know she was safe. she began to purr happily as she looked into his eyes again, "Goodnight, my love" she said, with a small yawn. She kissed him again, before falling asleep, a happy, and loving purr still coming from her chest.

[AustralianChaos]

Simba glared at the black lion. "I know there's nothing to go back to...but she at least has the right to know what I did...why I can't go back to Pride Rock." He then turned to this lion. "If you have any better ideas, now might be a good time to bring them up, before I turn Nala away from me completely."

He was hurting, his mind had come to this as his last option, and he was desperate for alternatives. All he knew was that, one way or another, everything he looked at left him with the same result...that he alienated Nala from him. He looked at this lion, praying that, despite his tormenting nature so far, that he might have a solution. Now that Nala had returned to his life, he realised just how much he had missed her...and how much he wanted her to stay.

----------

Tanga smiled, returning Nala's latest kiss enthusiastically, smiling at her as she whispered her thanks to him. "Anytime," he said softly as she settled down beside him, rolling him over so she could snuggle into his embrace, causing him to purr happily as he wrapped his own paws around her, smiling as she her as she yawned a goodnight to him. "Goodnight...Nala," he whispered, sharing one more kiss with her, settling his head in such a way that Nala's was close to his mane, leaving her free to use it as she wished, as he closed his eyes, letting sleep take over him as he listened to Nala's contented purr, a purr of his own forming in the back of his throat.

When his day had started, Tanga could never have imagined going through what he just had. In the space of that one day, he had lost the love of his life, been driven from his home by the bullies that were responsible for her death, and found another lioness, who he was already falling in love with, if he had not done so already. But such an eventuful day had taken its toll, and Tanga soon found himself drifting off alongside Nala.

[Nakisisa]

"Look, you're a lion, and she's the love of your life, what do you think shell do? The voice asked angrily

---

upon hearing the purr, Nala went over the edge and moved her head into Tangas mane, it felt amazing, and she never wanted to move again, she began to purr louder, and nuzzle his neck affectionately, waiting for sleep to call her

[AustralianChaos]

"I know what she'll do!" Simba cried. He had just about had enough of this, as he attempt to slip past the lion. "But what choice do I have left? I've never told anyone, and it's killing me! I can't not tell her, I just can't! At least this way, she'll have a clear reason to stay away from me, and I can move on."

But there was doubt in his voice, and even he could hear it...he desperately wanted an alternative, some way in which he could hang on to Nala...but if this other male had already taken her, what could he possibly do?

[Nakisisa]

(( If i don't reply, im working on an AMV ))

"Well, if you know what she'll do, then why tell her? She is already asleep with this other male..." The male said, looking back over his shoulder to check he was right, "...So whatever you do will have to wait until morning, unless you want to have another row" He taunted knowing fine well that Simba was in no mind set to do that
