[Open] Ahadi and Uru's Reign

[KingKovu44]

Ahadi sighed. "We don't really have a hierarchy. It's just that Uzuri and the others are used to following the queen or future queen. No lioness is greater than the other," he explained.

[FlamingBee]

"Yeah, seems that way." She knew it wasn't really his fault; he could never really understand her position.

[KingKovu44]

Ahadi smiled and rubbed heads with her. "I admire you for your bravery in standing up to your father like you did when he said you couldn't marry me," he said.

[FlamingBee]

Uru smiled with a glint in her eyes; "How could I keep myself from you?" She stretched lazily; "And soon it won't be just you and me, right?"

[KingKovu44]

Ahadi looked into her eyes. "Yes. It won't be just us soon. There will be a new prince or princess playing at Pride Rock," he said happily. He remembered his and Uru's struggles to be together. "I'm just glad my father allowed us to marry in the end," he said.

[FlamingBee]

She purred as she slipped her head beneath his, as she often did. "It was the great kings that planned this for us; nothing could've prevented it." She slid out and smiled at him; "Even the greatest of the kings himself."

[KingKovu44]

Ahadi enjoyed the head-rub while it lasted. "You know, there were times that I fantasized about running away to be with you whenever my father forbade our relationship," he said.

[FlamingBee]

She shook her head, still smiling; "Your not as selfish as my father; you would've eventually felt guilty for your kingdom... Even if it meant leaving me..." Her eyes sparkled; "Thank the kings it didn't happen that way!"

[KingKovu44]

Ahadi sighed. "Uru, I was selfish. I could think of you and how much I wanted you. I didn't give a second thought to the kingdom," he said.

[FlamingBee]

She closed her eyes, slightly pained with his naeve attitude; "Ahadi we were only that way for a short time. If you'd runaway with me, you'd have stopped thinking selfishly soon..." She could feel an argument coming on.
