Tough Love [Private]

Re: Tough Love [Private]

Postby KiarasMate » December 10th, 2009, 6:29 am

Hearing her mate’s suggestion, Nala nodded in agreement as she smiled at her king and nuzzled him softly before replying in a casual voice.

”That sounds perfect Honey. We can talk along the way.”

Taking lead yet still keeping a leisurely pace so that she and her mate could walk side by side while they conversed, the cream colored queen waited till the two of them were well out of earshot from anyone else before she spoke up once more in a concerned tone.

”You know, maybe I spoke too soon this morning Honey. I probably ended up Jinxing our luck, as it seems as though things might get a bit more difficult for us around here with having both those questionable felines in our midst. I was thinking though. What if they both are lying and somehow are working together for some underlying purpose? We shouldn’t rule out that possibility either.”

Shaking her head in dismay, Nala thought for a moment before an idea struck her. Looking back over at her mate, the cream colored queen chimed in once more.

”Say, why don’t we have a pride gathering tonight. We can have Kovu and Kiara and both Zina and Kondo all in the same place. Maybe The Hunting Party and myself can catch us something nice to eat and that way, it will just look like a friendly affair. You know, welcoming our new guests over a nice meal. Why I suggest this Honey is, if in fact, one of the two are lying, we can get this little ordeal said and done with quickly, and in the off chance that both of them are working in unison with one another, perhaps there will be strength in numbers and the two of them will drop their guard and slip up some how, just to give us a clue upon what their true intentions are. What do you think about this idea?”

==========

Kovu was a bit mortified and irritated that Simba had even allowed Kondo to stay, let alone leave himself in charge of keeping tabs over this unruly male. Still, knowing where his loyalty lay and realizing that this would be a good chance to show his father-in-law that he was capable of taking on such responsibility, Kovu gritted his teeth as he acknowledged his king’s orders and waited for the royal pair to depart before he turned his full focus back upon Kondo. Hearing the brash male’s attempt at an apology, Kovu couldn’t help but to scowl as he responded in an indignant fashion.

”Look, I know you’ve been given a chance to prove yourself in the eyes of my king and queen but me personally, I still don’t trust you and if you think a simple apology is going to wipe the slate clean, you’re sorely mistaken Kondo.”

Beginning to make his way towards the opposite direction to which Zina and Kiara had traveled not too long ago, the prince of the lands turned about face as he addressed the larger male once more, trying to adopt as civil of a tone as he could manage as he stated.

”Well, are you coming or not? I’ll show you around, but just because it’s my job Kondo. Maybe, just maybe if you act like you’re a guest in these lands and not the ruler of all you survey, maybe then I’ll show an ounce of respect towards you, but until that time comes, we’re nothing more then acquaintances, got it?”

Mumbling under his breath as he started off in the direction of Pride Rock, Kovu kept a watchful eye on Kondo’s every movement, still not trusting him in the least bit as his body language clearly displayed.

==========

Upon hearing Kiara’s inquisitive nature towards her chosen profession, Zina didn’t pass up the opportunity to demonstrate her skills, although keeping her false demeanor up for the time being, as she refused to actually let herself feel any sort of compassion or caring towards these simple minded Pridelanders, the white furred Shaman replied in an intrigued voice.

”Oh, so you’re curious about the art of Shamanism, hmm Princess Kiara? Well, it’s not exactly something you can just pick up right away, not saying that you’re not smart enough to though, as I’m sure you’re just as bright as the sun that shines above us now, but to be a great Shaman takes many seasons of dedication and devotion and you need to gain a vast knowledge of what every single plant, herb and flora does. I could ramble on for hours about that sort of thing, but I wouldn’t want to put you to sleep with my boring speech.”

Smiling innocently at the golden furred lioness next to her, Zina carefully treaded around the topic of her own expertise and subtly turned the tables upon the unsuspecting princess as the crafty Shaman asked in a sincere voice.

”So tell me a bit more about yourself and that mate of yours Kiara. He really does seem like quite the catch. Were your parents always this laid back and your father, he seems like a very trusting king. It must be nice to have such loving and admirable parents.”

Determined to learn anything and everything that she could about her current company and pride, as every single detail could prove to be crucial for her bigger plan, Zina played it cool as she waited for a response from Kiara, a genuinely fascinated expression apparent upon her face to show just how willing she was to hear more about this seemingly interesting pride’s history.

Feeling cheerful from his mate's affectionate nuzzle, Simba purred silently and followed close behind of his queen, leisurely padding alongside her now as he listened closely to her concerned tone.

After the queen's voice trailed off, an noticeable frown crept across the king's ebony muzzle lips as he replied in a loving, but convincing voice.

"Don't say such things like that love, you didn't jinx our serenity and none of us knew something like this was going to happen. Remember what I told you? No matter what happens in our Pride Lands, I'm going to make sure you and everyone else will remain safe. Also, you brought up a legitimate point as well. It never crossed my mind that these two felines might be working together in a scheme. We're going have to be extra careful around them, there's no telling what they might pull if they're cooperating."

Affixing his royal eyes on their personal waterhole, Simba's mind generated numerous of scenarios about their foreign acquaintances' plans. If these two were honestly working together, there has got to be some way that he can divulge their cover. While he was in deep thought on how to reveal their collaborative efforts, Simba's orange, fuzzy ears perked straight up to hear his mate's intriguing idea. Manifesting a ear to ear grin, the honorable king glanced over to his comely queen and excitedly spoke in a overjoyed tone.

"That's a PERFECT idea love! You always come up with brilliant plans and I can't thank you enough! I was trying to contrive my own ideas, but it won't come anywhere close to yours. A pride gathering is going to favor us greatly, one of them will have to concede. We should properly arrange this unexpectedly too, if they catch wind that we're going to have a gathering, they will be able to conceal their intentions from all us. We shouldn't tell Kovu and Kiara either, they might tell our guests at one point, so this has to be a full surprise. Is this okay with you sweetie?"

Approaching closer to their drinking quarters, Simba came to a dull adjacent stop to the edge of their waterhole. Glancing down at his own reflection, the imperial king chuckled softly and altered his attention back to the only lioness he loved so much in life.

"Remember when I pulled you into the water long time ago love? We were really carefree back then and we didn't have a care for the world. I really wish we can experience another time like that, instead of worrying about our future. We've done so much for our lands and there isn't a time where you and I can have a moments peace. We're constantly busy doing something important around here."




Monitoring intently on Kovu's body language, Kondo can easily tell there is something aggravating him, signifying a hint that not all of this aggravation was originating from him. Keeping this in mind, the highborn lion kept quiet and patiently waited for the young prince to initiate their quest. Not long after their moment of silence, Kondo's concentration shifted to the sound of Kovu's disgruntled tone, steadily listening to what his companion is announcing. When a small pause came between the two, Kondo cleared his throat and replied in an benevolent tone.

"I know it's going to be tough for me to gain your friendship Kovu. I'm willing to do anything to gain your confidence and I hope you and I will see each other as friends."

Consecutively after his reply, the confident male watched on as the infuriated prince padded in the opposite direction where Zina adventured off to. Lagging a little behind, Kondo ascended up on all fours and briskly followed behind of Kovu, only to come to an expeditious halt suddenly. Confound and speechless, the Nalrisu King tilted his head aside and heard a statement coming from his now acquaintance.

Not long after Kovu's dispassionate voice came to an end, Kondo didn't bother to respond and abide to whatever the young prince desired as they began to undertake their predetermined course, pondering where exactly they were going. Moving along at a reasonable pace, the deceitful male glanced over to his acquaintance and sustained his fraudulent etiquette before speaking in a companionable tone.

"So... Kovu. I know you and I don't really see eye to eye, but I was thinking. Since this hike will take us quite sometime, how about you and I get to know each other better? Is it okay if I ask you a few questions regarding your king first? Just out of curiosity, what is your personal opinion about him? He seems too bossy for my liking, does he treat you well around here? Show any respect? I'd love to hear what you have to say."

Exhibiting an affable facial expression, the surreptitious king was determined to know everything about his current community and try to influence this young prince by any means necessary.




Attentively showing interest in Zina's tantalizing profession, Kiara fixated her innocent eyes upon the white shaman's furry face as she described how inexplicable it was to be a successful shaman. Although it was too vast for the young Princess's consciousness, she wouldn't mind to hear more of her friend's impressive profession as her harmonious voice came to an completion.

Averting her eyes onto a nearby starling, Kiara's trust within Zina grew significantly. It became more apparent as Zina's false demeanor manipulated the golden lioness' perspective of her, considering how personal their conversation is becoming. Even though Kiara had no awareness of the white lioness' duplicitous plans of utilizing her, the golden lioness couldn't help but feel so attached to Zina's artificial behavior as she turned her diligence onto the Shaman's white furry face once more.

Hearing upon Zina's inquiry to know more about herself and her pride, Kiara giggled entrancingly and answered in a mirthful voice.

"Sure thing Zina! I'd love to tell you more about Kovu and I. You see, he was really shy when I first met him. Back when we were getting to know each other more personally, Kovu's loving nature began to show more openly when we spent long hours together. Even though it's really cute to see him so shy, I'm very happy to see him reveal his true feelings for me. I can never get enough of my sweet loving Kovu."

Blushing bright red around her golden cheeks, the young, attractive Princess cleared her throat to cover up her embarrassment before resuming.

"When it comes to my parents, both my mother and father are laid back felines. They really are trusting and offer help when it's needed. That's why I knew bringing you here wasn't such a bad idea because you really needed help. When it comes to my mom, she's sweet, outgoing, lovable and very reasonable. She also leads our pride's hunting party since she's so experienced. As for my daddy, he can be so stern at times, especially when something goes wrong in the Pride Lands. He takes his royal duties seriously, it's like his top priority above everything else but, he does have a affectionate side that shows."

Smiling fondly at the white furred lioness, Kiara gathered enough courage to ask her special friend a more secluded question as she spoke in a nervous tone.

"Zina? I was wondering... Have you ever had a secret crush on any lion during your amazing adventures? Was there a special lion who shared similar hobbies like you? I can't imagine you wandering around so alone."

Taking in her mate’s suggestion in regards to the plan she had unfolded to him, Nala thought about it for a moment before she nodded and responded in agreement.

”You have a good point there Honey. We want to give both Zina and Kondo as little notice about this plan as possible and I’m sure withholding this information from both Kovu and Kiara won’t make much of a difference either, seeing as both of them have their paws full with keeping track of our new guests. We’ll just act as though, it’s like any ordinary day.”

Arriving at the peaceful looking waterhole, Nala’s ears swiveled to catch what her mate was saying next. The thoughts of their past being brought up again bringing a fond smile to etch its way upon her muzzle as she moved in closer to where her beloved mate was positioned next to the water’s edge. Meeting his gaze, the cream colored queen spoke in a loving voice as she leaned her slender frame lightly against Simba’s.

”Well, we didn’t have the responsibilities we did back then Honey. If I remember right, weren’t you the one who just couldn’t wait to be king? Now that you are, it seems like you wish things were back to the way they used to be when we could just play all day and not have any cares in the world.”

Leaning her head up a bit so it rested softly under her mate’s chin, Nala purred contently as she continued speaking in an innocent tone.

”Just because we are older though, doesn’t mean we can’t have fun too Honey. There’s just a time and place for everything now. Like this moment for instance…” Nala stated, suddenly giving her body a small push as she leaned her full weight against Simba’s body, causing the large king’s equilibrium to be disrupted as she felt him toppling into the water next to them as she giggled humorously and stated. ”Seems like we could use a bit of fun.”

==========

Trying to uphold a bit of tolerance towards Kondo, Kovu listened to the larger male’s plea, sighing dejectedly as he shrugged and replied in a halfhearted voice.

”I suppose. What do you want to know?”

Pausing in mid stride as he heard Kondo’s inquiry, Kovu looked over at his traveling companion and retorted in a serious manner.

”Simba might seem bossy but it all depends on who he is dealing with.” Narrowing his eyes slightly, Kovu continued. ”Simba is a great king. His leadership gains the respect from every single creature in The Pride lands and in return, he gives an equal amount of respect back. Maybe if you took that into consideration, he wouldn’t act so judgmental towards you. Hell, maybe I wouldn’t either. That’s the funny thing about first impressions Kondo. You only get one.”

Continuing along the path, Kovu figured that it was his turn to ask Kondo a question now that they had started to clear the air amongst one another. Thinking for a moment, the prince of the lands addressed the trailing male in a nonchalant fashion.

”So, while we’re on the subject of getting to know each other, tell me this Kondo. Why is someone like yourself wandering around other pride’s lands? Not to boost that already soaring ego of yours any higher than it is, but you seem like the type that would be better suited ruling over your own pride, rather than causing trouble for others. If I had to take an educated guess, you used to be a king at one point or another, right?”

==========

Mentally storing every bit of information that Kiara revealed to her about Kovu and Simba, yet keeping an expression upon her face that would lead one to believe that her inquiry was purely out of curiosity alone, Zina smiled and responded in a heartfelt manner as the two lionesses continued to walk side by side.

”Well, he sounds like one in a million Kiara. You’re a very lucky lioness to have found someone special like that. Your parents must be amazing too.”

Upon hearing the golden furred princess’ next question however, Zina’s ears drooped slightly as a reluctant expression worked its way upon her face. Her past wasn’t something she felt comfortable talking about to anyone and even less so, the subject of her own personal relationships was even less desirable of a topic. Swallowing hard, Zina replied in an uncertain voice.

”I’d rather not get into that subject if you don’t mind Princess Kiara. It’s not very pleasant for me. Let’s just say, I don’t have good luck when it comes to males.”

Trying to quickly avert the discussion towards a more tasteful topic, Zina asked in a thoughtful voice.

”So, would you mind showing me to a den or the place that I will be staying at while I rest up here in your lands Princess Kiara?”

Averting his attention on their waterhole, Simba remained quiet for the time being as his mate leisurely made her way over to where he was stationed. Looking over and gazing back into her gorgeous eyes, the royal king felt their warm, furry bodies compress against one another, bringing amorous feelings to channel through his mind as the loving tone of his beloved queen eradicate their silence. Intently listening to what she was saying, Simba smiled joyfully and replied in a devoting voice when his mate's voice ceased.

"Well... I didn't expect being a king would be this challenging sweetie. I thought it would be a lot easier to be honest. I guess life is always full of surprises, huh? I'm just happy to know I'll be spending all of my days with you love, you really do relieve me from my tensions."

Flashing an sympathetic smile, Simba's swivel ears accumulated what his mate was saying as she fluctuated her position to rest her silky, furry head against his chin. Appreciating their exclusive time together, the unaware king gently ran his raspy, pink, feline tongue along his mate's furry cheeks to reveal how much he truly cherish his adorable queen.

In a blink of an eye, Simba felt Nala's weight become increasingly excessive, causing his stability to decline drastically as he faltered forward, falling headfirst into the algid waterhole with a clamorous splash. Soon after, the surprised king popped his saturated furry head out of the water and glanced up to his sneaky mate with a astound countenance, speaking in an stunned tone.

"That was unexpected love. I didn't realize how much you wanted to go swimming, how about you get your furry butt in here too? Or do I have to come up there and get you?"

Simba grinned blissfully and splashed some of the water in his mate's direction before escalating his clammy furry body out of the waterhole. Eying the sneaky lioness, Simba lunged forward in attempt to pounce his naughty queen as tiny droplets of water drizzled off of his glistening pelt.




During their risky undertaking, Kondo converted his concentration back on Kovu when he began to explain how much of a fair and good king Simba truly is, showing that it was going to be a complicated task to subdue this young prince. Without losing any aspiration, the deceitful king attended another nonchalant voice of Kovu, this time, questioning him about his caliber. Caught off guard by this manageable question, Kondo's speed conspicuously lessen as he responded in a uncomfortable fashion.

"Uh, well... I'm trying to recruit more lions and lionesses into my pride because currently, my pride isn't doing so good and so far, I'm having no luck. That's why I've been wandering around aimlessly to find appropriate members. Furthermore, I am a king, I was born in a royal bloodline and I'm going to make sure my parent's traditions live on. If it weren't for those careless lions and their corrupt king, I wouldn't have to suffer any of this dilemma."

Continuing to follow Kovu, Kondo composed himself and substituted another peculiar question in a admirable etiquette.

"So, is that creamy furred lioness your mate now Kovu? You two really go paw in paw if I must say. Whatever happened to your Outlands? I've been too caught up with my own circumstances to know the full story. What I can gather, your lands are deserted. Also, where are we going exactly?"




Kiara felt bothered as she can sense that her question was a little too private for Zina's liking. Unable to spring up a thoughtful apology, the young Princess simply frowned and lowered her sadden eyes to the grassy ground in attempt to avoid eye contact with her distressed friend. Their moment of silence didn't last long however as Zina's thoughtful voice caught Kiara's attention. Ascending her furry head and briefly looking over to her companion, the golden furred lioness smiled affectionately to her friend's inquisition and answered with an energize nature.

"Why of course Zina! I'd love to show you where you'll be sleeping. There are a few available dens within Pride Rock, so there should be a suitable place where you will find comfortable. Here, let's go back to Pride Rock. It's kinda getting dark anyway."

Time skip...


After a long travel returning back to Pride Rock, both lionesses ultimately reached their destination as the majestic rock formation came into view. Glancing up at her establishment, Kiara giggled silently and bounded up heedlessly until she was in front of the main entryway. Giving a quick look over her shoulder to spot Zina following close behind, the golden lioness inadvertently padded inside of her exorbitant home.

Once both lionesses were inside, what laid before them was a big looking hallway supplementary with different tunnel routes. Each tunnel consist of separate locations and one of them is housed with confidential dens that are restricted for substantial pride members.

Still having a bright smile pasted across her ebony muzzle lips, Kiara exchanged looks with Zina and spoke in a friendly tone.

"What do you think of Pride Rock, Zina? It's pretty big, right? I know you must be confused where to go, but I'm here to help! First things first, you see that tunnel to our left? That leads to my parent's den. It's where they usually spend their alone time and it's off limits. None of us are allowed to go in there. And right next to their tunnel is the guest dens. In here, this is where you will most likely be staying. When you walk inside, you will be presented with a large opening. Hardly any guests arrive so... You will most likely have the place to yourself. When we feel we can't trust a simple rogue lion or lioness, we have them sleep far away from everyone else. My dad usually puts them across the room in a more dense tunnel that is used for nothing. It's kinda small but any sized lion could fit in there. If you're curious, it's the very last one to our right. So... Do you want to take a look in your sleep quarters? I wanna see if you will like it!"

Re: Tough Love [Private]

Postby KiarasMate » December 15th, 2009, 1:10 am

Standing by the edge of the waterhole with a cheeky grin plastered upon her muzzle, Nala watched her mate with a loving stare, backing away quickly as he playfully splashed water at her, causing the cream colored queen to giggle uncontrollably as she watched her king pulling himself out from the chilly pool, his body completely drenched from head to tail. Eyeing Simba carefully, Nala knew what was coming next as she prepared her body accordingly. Spotting her lover lunging towards her, Nala’s quick reflexes worked in unison with her body as she attempted to flip her mate onto his back. Typically this would have been an effortless feat to accomplish however, having her mate’s fur being weighed down by the water trapped within it, Nala found it hard to maneuver herself and keep her mate safe from landing awkwardly, causing the pair to tumble upon the ground in a jumbled mess of fur, paws and tails.

Laughing uproariously from what had happened, the cream colored queen quickly moved atop her mate, leaning down to lick over his soaked muzzle as her fore paws rested neatly atop his powerful chest. Smiling deviously at her king, Nala spoke in an amused voice as she casually laid herself upon her mate’s saturated frame.

”Pinned ya Honey, sort of.”

Purring softly as she snuggled in closer to her lover, Nala’s eyes met with her mate’s as she sighed happily and enjoyed their special moment together. If it was up to her, she would have stayed like that forever but the duties of the day beckoned her to move as she slowly rolled herself off of her mate’s body and back onto her paws as she stated in a reluctant tone.

”Well, I better get going Honey. The Hunting Party calls. I’ll meet back up with you at Pride Rock later today and hopefully by then, Kiara and Kovu will have brought both Zina and Kondo back so we can put our plan into action.”

Shaking out the small amount of water that had matted into her fur from laying atop Simba’s wet frame, Nala moved in to give him one last affectionate nuzzle before she bounded off towards The Southern Hunting Grounds, calling back over her shoulder as she did so.

”I love you Honey and see you later.”

==========

Upon hearing Kondo’s reply to the question he had posed, Kovu’s ears twitched as his expression stayed the same. Waiting for the large male to finish speaking, Kovu wasted no time in responding as he spoke his mind freely.

”If that’s the case Kondo, you’re wasting your time here. Pride life is good for us with Simba and I highly doubt you’ll find any willing members here, who would trade their current lives for whatever it is you dream of offering them.”

Thinking for a moment and recalling the reason why Kondo had stated he was in The Pride Lands previously, Kovu started to wonder if this white furred lioness that Kondo had spoke of, was just another lioness he was after to try and recruit to his lands. Figuring that there was no harm in asking, Kovu spoke up once more in an intrigued tone.

”This white furred lioness you came to warn us about Kondo, tell me, do you have feelings for her or something? You seem pretty intent on finding her and if what you just said is true, I can’t help but assume that you are only here to try and bring her back to your lands. Am I wrong about that?”

Hearing Kondo’s question about a cream colored lioness, Kovu’s mind immediately thought of Nala as he couldn’t hold back a chuckle as he stated in a mocking voice.

”Uh, no. That would be Nala. She’s Simba’s mate. My mate is the one with the gorgeous golden pelt. The one who you said, is in danger of being with that white furred lioness you keep speaking of.”

==========

Kiara and Zina had been wandering around The Pride Lands for quite a while, as the golden furred princess had shown the curious Shaman all the main locations within the heart of the lands. Now, the pair had finally arrived at the large rock structure to which Zina had learned, was known as Pride Rock. Upon entering the large establishment, Zina couldn’t help but to feel in awe at just what her eyes saw. Even in her vast travels, she had never come across such a sight. The catacomb of caves and the pure design of the structure was enough to captivate her, if only for a moment however, as Kiara’s voice reached her ears, pulling the white furred Shaman out of her momentary stupor. Taking in every little detail that Kiara mentioned, especially about Nala and Simba’s den, Zina graciously accepted the invitation to inspect her living quarters, carefully making her way into the assigned cave that the golden furred feline had instructed her to. Looking around the homely abode, Zina spotted a comfortable looking sleeping pelt sprawled out in the center of the cave. It was warm and looked as though it would make quite the suitable abode. Pleased in this fact, Zina turned back to face Kiara as she spoke in an appreciative voice.

”Thank you Princess Kiara. This looks like it will be more than adequate for my likings. Please be sure to tell your parents, thanks on my behalf for their generous hospitality.”

Making her way into the back of the cave to which she had been assigned, Zina carefully removed her herb pouch from around her neck, revealing the unpleasant looking scar that traced the underside of her neck. Carefully rubbing a paw over the distinct marking, Zina went about making the cave her own as she moved the sleeping pelt a bit further away from the mouth of the cave, just so that she could be out of sight from prying eyes when and if she slept here.

Re: Tough Love [Private]

Pasting a large grin across his ebony muzzle lips, Simba felt he had everything under control as his outstretched forearms were coming in very close towards Nala's furry neck. In matter of seconds, the regal king came crashing into his mate's slender, yet ambrosial furry body. Eying his queen carefully, Simba was baffled to know that his playful pounce didn't do anything to benefit him as both felines went tumbling on the damp ground with great speeds. Small fits of giggles escaped both of the felines' muzzles as their rolling bodies came to a slow stop near their drinking quarters. Taking this opportunity to pin his lovely mate, a satisfying grin crept across Simba's inky muzzle lips as he anchored his loving eyes on Nala's pinned furry body, gently pressing both of his dominant fore paws against her arid furry chest, speaking in a playful voice.

"Looks like I wo..."

Before the dignified king could even finish his winning speech, Nala's struggling fore paws ultimately prevailed and succeeded of throwing the king's balance completely off. Dumbfound by his queen's physical strength, Simba couldn't maintain his balance any longer as he came crashing down onto the flourishing ground with a loud thud. Not long after, a loud uproarious laughter caught the orange furred king's attention as he glanced up to gaze into Nala's alluring eyes as her indomitable fore paws pressed firmly against his saturated chest. Unable to make any sudden movements, Simba purred quietly and blushed willingly from Nala's affectionate licks across his moist muzzle lips as she made herself comfortable against his athletic frame.

Enjoying their personal time together, Simba snuggled back into the only lioness he loved so much in life, enveloping both of his strong furry arms around her delicate neck to securely lock both felines in a loving embrace. During their romantic time, the regal king's attention was disrupted by the sounds of his mate's compassionate voice as she spoke about getting ready for a hunt.

Showcasing a warm smile, Simba waited patiently for his attractive queen's voice to come to an end before replying compassionately.

"Okay love, I should head back to the Pride Lands. It's getting quite late so I'll meet you home. From there, we'll put our plan in motion."

Giving his mate one last amorous nuzzle, the orange furred king ascended up on all fours and bounded off in the appropriate direction where his kingdom was established at expeditious speeds. He knew their plan couldn't be executed until everyone was present which shouldn't take too long seeing how the scorching hot sun was descending briskly.




Kovu and Kondo continued to press on, trekking much deeper into the Pride Lands as the young prince's intriguing voice caught the immoral king's concentration. Intently listening to what was being inquired, Kondo couldn't help but feel his dark furred cheeks burn sweltering hot from the mention of him having some sort of attachment with Zina. Not wanting to reveal any insight of his honest feelings, the immoral king snickered quietly and replied in a untruthful voice.

"Do I have feelings for Zina? You have to be joking Kovu. There's no way I'll fall in love with that blasted lioness, even if she was the last one in these lands. I'm only following her to see what sort of trouble she has in mind, that's all. I have no intention of hooking up with her."

Regardless of his feeble lie, Kondo genuinely did have strong feelings for Zina. Ever since his cunning eyes anchored onto the peculiar lioness for the very first time, there was something sensational about her that couldn't be measured, as if she was incomparable to any other lioness anywhere. Having these profound thoughts, Kondo made sure to persist Kovu closely behind as their furry bodies were almost touching. The time they wasted exploring these well-known lands were beginning to show effect as the sun's blazing rays were gradually diminishing little by little. Sensing there wasn't anymore time left to examine more of these majestic lands, Kondo assumed there had to be a time limit for all of the pride members to gather back at Pride Rock. With this in thought, the immoral lion prolonged his fake demeanor and spoke in a generous tone.

"Looks like time isn't in our favor Kovu. It's getting really dark right now and I think it'll be a wise for us to head back to Pride Rock, what do you think? I don't want to get in any trouble from your king if your pride has a curfew. Should we head back? I bet everyone is waiting for us."




Upon hearing Zina's gratified voice, Kiara giggled quietly to herself and remained situated near the entrance of Zina's temporarily den. Pasting a warm hearted smile, the golden furred lioness bounded over to where her friend is conveniently making herself comfortable as her innocent eyes laid affix on a unpleasant looking scar. Inevitably slipping out a obscure gasp, Kiara couldn't believe there was a hideous scar on her friend's scruffy neck as she came to a slow stop beside Zina's backside. Advertising a noticeable frown, the young princess was about to question about her companion's scar until an distinct voice caught her attention. Glancing over to where the recognizable voice was coming from, Kiara knew it had to be her father as she altered her attention back on Zina, speaking in a joyous tone.

"Daddy is home! I can't believe he's home this fast! Time sure went flying, don't you think Zina? My mom is probably out hunting right now so we'll be eating in a few minutes to an half hour. I wonder what the occasion is going to be tonight. Here, let me ask my father! I'll be right back."

Kiara giggled uncontrollably and padded out of Zina's sleeping quarters to greet her father who was standing close by.




Peering over his daughter's shoulders, Simba fixated his royal eyes upon Zina and generously offered in a caring voice.

"Zina, sorry for barging in so suddenly. I have a quick announcement to make. You see, since you and Kondo are going to be staying here for awhile, my mate and I have decided that all of us will be eating tonight's dinner together. I insist that you join us, we haven't done this in a good while and I'm sure you're anxious to know more about our pride. We'll be in the main lobby of our den when you're ready. Kovu should be returning soon with Kondo so make sure you're set before coming out."

After giving his announcement, both Simba and Kiara stepped out from Zina's room and padded off towards their main lobby area so the white furred lioness could get herself prepared.

Taking into consideration what Kondo had stated and judging from the sun’s position within the sky above, Kovu knew that the two of them should start heading back towards pride Rock. Turning to face the large male, noting that he had made his way closer to where Kovu stood, the proud prince nodded as he stated in a civil manner while taking a few steps to put a bit more distance between himself and Kondo.

”Fine by me. Let’s go.”

Hastily making tracks as he was in quite the rush to rid himself of Kondo’s company and hopefully get a moment ore two alone with his beloved mate, Kovu stayed quiet until the pair reached the base of Pride Rock. Slowing his pace a bit to wait for Kondo to catch up, Kovu addressed the male in a serious manner.

”You’re about to step paw into our home, so I suggest you be on your best behavior Kondo. I’ll show you to your den, but then you’re on your own.”

Making his way into the main den, Kovu took a quick glance around, noticing that both Simba and Kiara were already in the main portion of the large estate, most likely awaiting the return of Nala and a potential meal. Ignoring this fact for the time being, Kovu made his way past the various caves, giving Kondo a similar lecture that Kiara had given to Zina not too long ago, as he pointed out the different dens and who they belonged to before the pair reached the furthest den down the line. Pausing in front of the final cave, Kovu turned to Kondo and stated in a crass tone.

”This would be your den I guess. It’s not much, but it’ll beat sleeping outside I guess. Just be thankful for it.”

Grumbling to himself, Kovu stepped aside to let Kondo inspect his new digs before he padded off back to the main quarters of the den, this time greeting both Simba and Kiara as he entered the roomy abode.

”I’ve brought Kondo back Simba and he’s currently looking over his den.” Moving over to his precious mate, Kovu smiled warmly as he nuzzled her affectionately and continued. ”I’ve missed you Love. Hope things went better with you and that white furred lioness than they did with me and Kondo.”

==========

Listening to what Simba was telling her, Zina had to all but suppress a cringe from the fact that Kondo had been allowed to stay in these lands as well. Merely giving a small nod to acknowledge Simba’s statement, Zina watched as both Simba and Kiara left her to her own device. Sighing hopelessly, as the only thing she wanted to do right now was to flee and rid herself of that nuisance known as Kondo, Zina quickly made her way back over to where she had left her herb pouch, neatly opening the crafted case and quickly rummaged through its contents before she came across what she was looking for.

Withdrawing a small, green plant, Zina carefully snipped off one of the adjoining leaves that were attached to the vegetation within her grasp, hurriedly swallowing the detached herb before she returned the remaining plant back to her pouch and secured it once more around her neck, covering her scar yet again. Taking a moment to let the herb she had just ingested to take effect, Zina felt a bit more relaxed as she gave her pelt a quick shake, mentally preparing herself to face both the royal family and Kondo once more. Being in no rush to make her presence known however, Zina took a moment to thoroughly groom herself, bringing her illustrious coat back to a more presentable state and soft to the touch once more. Satisfied with her appearance and having calmed down quite significantly, Zina took a deep breath before she exited her den and made her way over to where Kovu, Kiara and Simba were. Not seeing Kondo present yet, Zina quickly took up a spot near the far wall, just so that Kondo would be forced to sit away from her when he decided to show his face. Giving a polite bow, Zina’s false front quickly reestablished itself as she greeted the royal family.

”Thank you for offering such a nice meal King Simba. I’m sure this will be a…memorable experience to say the least.”

==========

Having the knowledge that she was not only hunting for her mate, daughter and Kovu now, but also two guests, Nala put forth an extra effort on her hunt, managing to bring down a nice sized antelope, large enough to at least provide a good, one time meal for the party of six. Departing ways with the rest of The Hunting Party at the base of Pride Rock, Nala eagerly made her way into the main den, dragging her kill along with her as she spotted the small group already situated within the main quarters. Exerting her last bit of strength, the cream colored queen proudly plopped the slain antelope in the middle of the floor, allowing enough room on every side of the creature for someone to take up a comfortable spot next to in order to feast. Panting slightly, Nala flashed her company a friendly smile before she exclaimed.

”Hope everyone is in the mood for antelope tonight. There’s plenty to go around so don’t be shy.”

Nearly everyone was present inside of Pride Rock for tonight's feast as Kondo stood by his temporary sleeping quarters, displease to know he'll have to spend the next few suns in this atrocious, insufficient space. With steady anger and animosity building up inside him, Kondo averted his attention away from the appalling, dense space to see who was all present within the royal cavern. Giving a thorough scan of all the felines present, Kondo couldn't find any trace of Zina anywhere, assuming that she was absent from everyone else as he turned his concentration onto a golden furred lioness. From her appearance alone, the dark furred male knew it had to be Kovu's mate.

Without any warning, a loud discordant plop caught Kondo's attention as he fasten his orange eyes onto Simba's queen and a abundant sized antelope. Soon after, Nala's altruistic voice broke their silence as she explained that everyone was free to gather around to stuff their carnivorous muzzles. Departing away from his horrid sleeping quarters, the starving male leisurely made his way over to where everyone else was situated, taking a spot right next to the antelope's abdominal region. Eying the luscious carcass eagerly, Kondo still wasn't aware of Zina's presence until her congruous scent found its way into his feline snout, instantly eliciting him to take a gander in her direction with a surprised countenance.

"So she's here after all. I wonder if she told any of these fools about our quarrel."

The dark furred male pondered.




Bounding over to help his mate pull in the dead carcass towards the middle of their cozy den, Simba smiled fervently and gave his beloved queen a benevolent nuzzle, speaking in a delight, yet astound voice.

"Jeez love, you really brought home a big meal for us, I think it's your biggest kill yet! I'm very proud of you love, you definitely outdone yourself tonight."

Simba chuckled faintly, lowering his tangerine haunches down onto the ground blandly as he flashed a few looks over to Zina and then to Kondo. Situating himself much closer against the only lioness he loved so much in life, the royal king had a perception thought that these two mysterious felines may have a unify duo as he address openly to everyone.

"Okay everybody, you're free to come by and take your share since we're all present now..." Simba paused momentarily to glance over in Zina's direction, wondering why she spaced herself away from everyone else. Was it because she was more shy? Or the fact she was hiding something from everyone else? Having these thoughts in mind, the royal king pasted a tender smile concerning Zina and resumed speaking in a more inviting fashion.

"Zina, you're free to come over here you know. No one isn't going to take a bite out of you so please, help yourself to our evening meal. I'd love to hear more about you too, have you spoken to Kondo here lately? You two always seem distant from one another."

Simba scooted over partially to make some room for the white furred Shaman, waiting patiently for her response as he gave his loving queen an affectionate nuzzle to show his gratitude for their meal.




Now that everyone was sitting near tonight's dinner, both Kiara and Kovu ascended up on all fours and padded over to a nearby spot right next to the antelope's backside. Once they were comfortable, Kiara turned her attention onto her mate, recalling his question from earlier as she leaned in to lovingly press her small furry golden body against her strong prince, speaking in a tender voice.

"I've missed you too sweetie, I'm sorry to hear Kondo was a problem... As for Zina, she's really sweet and kind towards me. I don't think there will be any problems regarding her. It's really hard for anyone to hate on Zina, she's too polite and likable."

Kiara buried her amber muzzle into Kovu's silky, luxurious black mane, inhaling deeply of his intoxicating scent. Enduring her mate's wonderful essence, the young princess can feel her hinds tremble in excitement, as if they were begging for much needed attention. Shifting her slender frame closer, Kiara adjusted her lovable eyes up onto her mate's furry face, inquiring curiously with blushing cheeks.

"When was the last time you got a bath, sweetie? Your scent is so strong tonight and it's making me shiver. I wouldn't mind giving you one though, I'd love to please my special prince in any way. I bet you're a hungry lion right now though, aren't you mister?"

The young princess snuggled close against her all-powerful mate, trying her best to conceal herself into her mate's frame as she wasn't feeling up to eating anytime soon. All that mattered to her now was to stay immovable against the only prince she'll ever love in life.

Smiling broadly from her mate’s words, blushing slightly from the praise he was giving her for a job well done, Nala took it in stride as she responded in a soft voice while returning Simba’s loving gestures with tender ones of her own.

”Well, seeing as we have guests Honey and knowing how much you can eat just by yourself, I knew I had to set my sights on bigger prey for tonight. Besides, this should be a celebration of sorts. Two new faces to get to know and hopefully everyone can get along over a nice meal.”

Moving in towards the kill, taking up a spot a few paws length away from where Kondo had already situated himself at in front of the antelope, Nala started to feast upon the delectable looking meal, having the need to replenish her energy spent taking down such a large prey and knowing that there was more than enough to go around.

Hearing Simba’s words, Zina’s ears perked up as she directed her gaze towards Simba and politely shook her head, responding in a friendly tone as she did so.

”That’s okay King Simba. I’m not terribly hungry right now.” Thinking quickly for a moment, the white furred Shaman hastily added in, just to make sure that her intentions weren’t clear. ”It has nothing to do with Kondo. I don’t even know that lion King Simba. I’ve only seen him in your lands, so I figured he was either just one of your members or a guest, much like I am.”

As much as she wanted to tell the truth about Kondo and the fact that she knew him well enough, Zina thought better of this, as the prospects of Kondo retaliating and getting her in trouble with these soft hearted felines wasn’t something she was going to risk. Knowing that if Kondo himself were to reveal their shaky past together however, that she would still have the upper paw, seeing as he had tried to force himself upon her, Zina stayed calm and waited for either Simba or Kondo to speak up next. Recalling Simba’s other statement however, Zina spoke up once more in a reluctant manner.

”My past isn’t very pleasant King Simba, so you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t feel like talking about it. If you really must know about my past, I’d ask that we talk about it in private. Just one on one.

All the while, Kovu was observing everyone else, until his mate’s affectionate nature caught his attention, causing him to grin suggestively as he playfully swatted her butt with a fore paw and exclaimed in an embarrassed voice.

”Not in front of the guests Love. There will be plenty of time for that tonight.”

Moving in close, Kovu lightly nipped at one of Kiara’s fuzzy ears before he made his way over to where the tasty looking kill was, finding a spot on the opposite side to which everyone else was already stationed at around the meal, making sure to leave a bit of room for his beloved lioness to join him. Beginning to enjoy his meal as well, Kovu stayed quiet until his mate joined in the feast, his body lightly caressing up against hers as he flashed her a sly wink before returning to the task of eating.

Smiling ardently from his mate's response, Simba inclined forward to give his special lioness an affectionate nuzzle, rubbing the side of his soft orange cheek against her dazzling pelt as he replied thoughtfully.

"You're absolutely right love, I believe everyone here will get along just fine. I'm hoping the next few days will go effortlessly."

Noticing that his mate moved herself towards the dead carcass to replenish her much needed fortitude, Simba altered his attention back on Zina, pasting a cordial smile as he attend to her response about what he inquired earlier. Listening intently to what she was verbally explaining, the regal king felt slightly obscure about the Shaman's clarification pertaining Kondo by the way her tone suddenly became more prompt.

Once Zina's generous voice came to a complete cease, Simba recollected his individual thoughts and seated himself more upright before responding in a kind tone.

"I understand Zina. I wasn't entirely sure if you spoken to Kondo. Even though he's kinda miserly, you should give him a chance. I'm sure there's kindest in him somewhere, you just have to find it." Thinking for a short moment, the orange furred king calmly resumed. "In regards to your past life Zina, we'll discuss it tomorrow morning when the sun ascends high in the skies. For now, tell us more about yourself. What are your future goals to achieve in life?"

While Zina was busy contemplating on what to say, Simba averted his attention over to Kondo and inquired a similar question, hoping to get some sort of clue to where one of these felines originated from.

"Kondo, tell me more about yourself. Are you willing to tell everyone here about your past? I'd appreciate if you can enlighten us more about yourself."

Upon hearing Simba's inquiry concerning his abominable past, Kondo merely gave the king a stern look, unsure if he should respond to such a inquisition as he altered his concentration onto Zina, gazing directly into her deceptive eyes. Despite their dissimilarities, the puzzled male was truly surprised by her recent response regarding their earlier discord. Uncertain whether to trust Zina or not, Kondo took her offer of artifice into consideration and altered his concentration back onto their regal king, presenting a disturb countenance as he began to declare about his troubled past to everyone in a uncomfortable tone.

"My past is unfortunate. I don't talk about it often, but if you want to know, my pride was wiped out when I was just a young cub. Back then, I didn't know what they were after until I grew up amongst them. You see, they spared my life because I was substantial to their pride. And their leader..." Kondo paused momentarily to visualize those careless eyes of his past adversary, sighing softly as he continued. "Their leader was ruthless, he delight in causing pain and chaos. Living with him was like living in a nightmare. Always hungry and sore, I had no choice but to comply to every demand he ordered."

With his distress voice coming to a slow impediment stop, Kondo turned his attention away from everyone else to seek personal guidance. Although he was feeling so dejected, the dark furred male wasn't going to hinder his plans for later on tonight when everyone was fast asleep.

In the meanwhile, Kiara giggled uncontrollably by her mate's reaction as she felt her furry butt receive a playful swat in combination of her sensitive, fuzzy ears being nipped upon. Feeling her sweltering golden cheeks flourish hotter, the young princess eyed her lovable prince anxiously as she stood up on all fours to follow her mate over to their excessive dinner. Once they found a suitable spot near their banquet, Kiara nestled close beside her arousing mate, keeping a eagle eye on her attractive prince to admire how hungry he was. Gluing herself against her dominant male, Kiara ran her raspy, pink, feline tongue along the side of her mate's furry brown cheek as she exclaimed suggestively.

"Is the antelope any good sweetie? The meat really does look good, but I'm craving something that's more stiff, bulkier and juicy."

The golden furred lioness grinned innocently, not really paying too much attention on everyone else but her sweet Kovu.
