[Closed] Before The Beginning

[Maleficent]

Taka nodded and opened his mouth then closed it and said, "Just wondering."

[KingKovu44]

Uru smiled and pulled him close. "Is my little boy in love?" she asked.

[Maleficent]

Taka blushed bright red and stammered, "No! I mean...not really. I was just...uh...nevermind."

[KingKovu44]

Uru laughed again. "Oh I believe you," she said with a wink.

[Maleficent]

Taka blushed and went to sit behind Mufasa.

[KingKovu44]

Uru sat down as well. "I saw you two talking. What were you two really talking about?" she asked.

[Maleficent]

Taka frowned and pulled up a clump of grass irritably, asking, "Why does father like Mufasa so much better than me? And why did you name me after dirt?"

[KingKovu44]

Uru sighed. "It has to do with your father and I's past," she began.

[Maleficent]

Taka looked very interested, "Tell me about it!"

[KingKovu44]

Uru sighed. "You see, before I was queen, I was the daughter of a cruel, selfish rogue named Choyo. One day, I met your father, and over the course of time, we fell in love. However, our families were enemies and fought. My father went after your father, and so they hated each other. When you were born, he noticed that you looked like my father and didn't like that. That's why he gave you your name," he said.
