Nala blinked as she woke up, then looked around the den. It seemed that Simba has already left to start his day. Quessing that her mate was headed for the waterhole, as he frequently did in mornings. Nala got up and stretched luxuriously, then hopped lightly down Pride Rock and into the late-morning splendor of the pridelands. Just waking up from a restful nap, Nala made good time across the lands, and before long she arrived at the waterhole. There she saw her beloved mate, but he was staring off at a strange lion in the distance. She couldn't see too clearly, but the stranger appeared to have grey fur, and was definitely not anyone in the pride. Nala picked up her pace to arrive at her mate's side. She stayed silent for the moment, letting Simba decide what to do about the trespasser.

Simba's questionable expression remained plastered across his furry muzzle. He wasn't sure who this figure was and what it was doing amongst the Pride Lands. Was it by any chance seeking food? Perhaps shelter of some sorts? Simba thought, beginning to feel unaware of his current surroundings, not even taking notice that Nala was making her way towards him. He felt drawn to this mysterious lion who remained anchored in place. The possible of disturbance was growing by the second and Simba wasn't really liking the idea of this rogue looking lion trespassing in the Pride Lands. Usually he welcomes most animals to find their own suitable place to live around these parts.

The king's fuzzy orange ears perked up to hear padding coming from his location which drove him back into realty. He glanced over quickly and spotted his loving mate making her way.

"Nala? Sorry if I seemed to ignore you... How are you doing this early morning love?" Simba asked in a soothing tone, slowly making his way towards her to give a full body nuzzle to show his affection.

"I have a favor to ask you sweetie. Do you see a strange looking lion in the distance? Doesn't he looked a bit familiar? I was staring at him for a good five minutes and I think he may have noticed our presence but I'm not sure. I don't see any other lion or lioness with him so I figure he's alone. Would you be kind to keep a lookout for me love? I'm going to go and confront him. If things turned out to be aggressive, go alert the other lionesses." He said softly, giving his mate another affectionate nuzzle before heading in the direction where this strange lion was stable.

Nala purred, appreciating her beloved mate's greeting. She remained silent as he explained the situation as he saw it, and nodded, agreeing to watch over the situation

"Be safe Simba." she said softly with a smile on her face. Odds of that were pretty slim, but it never hurt to try. Simba headed down towards the stranger, who did in fact look vaguely familiar. She was unable to put her finger on it for the moment, and instead watched as Simba approached the other. She threw a look around the pridelands a few times, but didn't see anyone unusual. Suddenly though she recognized the stranger. It was Kivuli, a lion that Simba exiled a while back.

With this new information Nala took off after her mate, trying to reach and warn him before he reached Kivuli.

[KingKivuli]

Kivuli was running along at a good pace. The wind was lighhtly brusing past his smooth fur as he was almost at his destination. Kivuli stopped suddenly however as anothher lion was running at him. Staring at the distnac Kivuli was figuring out who it was exactly, then it hit him. That lion was Simba. Kivuli put long wide grin across his face, as his nemisis drew closer. Wanting to gan the upperhand on Simba, Kivuli went to the side and ducked in the long grass for cover

Simba was almost there. Kivuli felt his muscles tense and his blood rush round in excitment. Finally Simba was in range, and with 1 mighhty leap, Kivuli sprung from his spot and flew towards Simba. The sheer force of the attack was too much for the King and he was pinned hard. Kivuli looked down, at last he had Simba where he wanted him HAHAHAHA well well Simba i bet you were not expecting to see me so soon, if at all Kivulis voice was deep and hard from his long exile but now he was back I can not explain the pleasure i have to see you so weak like this, its music to my ears. And the best.... Kiuli extended his claws I could do anything to you right now

[Mike]

Nala failed to catch up to her mate in time to prevent Kivuli's devastating attack. She gasped as though it was her that Kivuli had pounced on, so painful it was to see Simba attacked. Her surprise quickly turned to cold fury though, and she ducked down for a better stalking position. Nala wasn't the leader of the huntresses of the pridelands for nothing, and she blended into the scenery perfectly. She was already close enough to make an attack, but decided to sneak a bit closer to be safe.

Once she was in position she shot out of cover like a speeding bullet, putting all of her love for her mate as well as her skill as a huntress behind the attack. Kivuli didn't notice her until it was too late, he had been gloating to Simba over his victory. Nala slammed into him, but he was such a large and powerfully built lion that Nala's attack, intended to knock Kivuli onto his back, merely made him stagger back off Simba's chest. Nala landed lightly and bared her teeth, trying to buy time for Simba to get his wind back.

"Kivuli! I never had you pegged as such a monster. What could have happened to you to make you battle your former pride?"

[KingKivuli]

Kivuli had a strong stance over the golden king. He was enjoying his victory so much that Nalas sneak attack caught him off guard. While the lioness was strong she was still no match for his bulk and only managed to shunt him a little as she took up a fighting stance. Hahahaha nice try Nala but not even the both of you can stop me now Nala snarled and questioned him. Kivuli glared at her whilst hold Simba down Why am i back? why do i attack? I was wrongfully exiled fom ths pride just cause i had friends! I spent 2 years in exile after running from the outlanders! All that time i wondered what i should do. Then it came to me, i needed revenge for what ha been done! So i trained in the mosy harsh envroments known to lions. When i was ready i came back. Back to seek my sweet vengence Kivuli forced down more on Simbas chest with a grin on his face

With the wind picking up overtime, Simba continued jogging along, unaware that this mysterious lion was planning on some sort of attack. His eyes were glued on to the trespasser, inching closer and closer until he suddenly disappeared out of plain view. The king was surprised and slowed down his pace for a moment, only to get pounced so roughly to the ground flat on his furry orange back.

"Gah! Wh... Who are you?" Simba baffled and pressed those two large orange fore paws of his against the mysterious lion's chest.

Everything was blurry for a moment and his eyes weren't properly adjusting accordingly. The weight of this lion was enough to make him feel as if he had two herds laying on top of him. At first, he tried to budge but to no avail. He was in this lion's mercy and there was nothing he could do about it at this very moment.

Few more minutes went by and Simba's fuzzy ears perked up to hear a familiar sounding tone. The tone from this lion made him gasp softly as his blurry vision was beginning to clear up now and the furry face of Kivuli was in plain sight. He jaw dropped and let out a low, but intimating growl.

"Kivuli! It's...Y...You! What are you doing here?" He bellowed loudly, trying to get some advantage to get this banished Outlander off of him.

Upon hearing what Kivuli was saying, Simba's ears remained perfectly erect. He had no idea that his old nemesis was going to show up so suddenly, especially for the things that went down in the past that he would never forget. With Kivuli running his maw, Simba remained calm and tried to think of some way to get out of this mess. He couldn't come up with a solution to this problem and out of nowhere, his eyes caught a glimpse of his mate flying by so expeditiously and shrugging Kivuli off of him.

Quickly recovering and slowly moving back on all fours, Simba immediately glanced over to his beloved mate to make sure that she was fine.

"Are you okay Nala?" He asked and examined thoroughly over her attractive frame, making sure that there wasn't any bruises or any other signs of physical injury. After the thorough checkup, he leaned in to give his loving mate a tender nuzzle, followed by a warm lick across her furry cheek to show how much he loved the only lioness that made him felt completed in life.

After their little romantic time together, Simba glanced over to Kivuli and bared his sharp, razor like teeth.

"Kivuli, you do realize that coming back into the Pride Lands is a penalty. You honestly think you were innocent for what you did?" Simba asked and slowly moved in front of his mate, not wanting to take any chances now as he'll risk his life for anything to make sure that his mate will not get hurt.

[KingKivuli]

Kivuli saw Simba prepare for a fight and so took a stace hinsef readty to go at it anytime. The two lions were starting each other down. Simbas words started annoying Kivuli and amade his blood boil What i did.... WHAT I DID!?! I DID NOTHING He roared It is you who cast me out for a lame reason Simba, simply cause i had outlander friends and i could not decde were i wanted to be, so you just cast me out! Now im back here and im ready for my revenge!! Kivuli was bigger and stronger than Simba. Even f Nala battled the fight would at least only be even. The grey powerhouse was a force to reckon with

[CadyD16]

Could I be lead lioness of the outsiders if that isn't taken yet?

Name:Zuri
Age:Adult
Gender:Female
Mate:No one yet
Personality:Zuri means beautiful in swahili, which she is. Though under all this beauty is hatred and an ugly past. Simba had killed off her cubs one by one as they went into the Pridelands. Zuri begged him but couldn't stop him, she told him that they were innocent, but Simba didn't listen. She couldn't bare to watch, so she attacked Simba. She was bannished and now with no place to go. She has turned evil now with a raging, batty temper. Not that many lions like her, but they fear her. She is sleesy and tough aswell and will stand up for herself whenever she needs to.
She has a sandy type coat with a cream colored underbelly. She has a couple scars all over her back and legs. She has blood red eyes and a whitish color under her eyes. Then she has a darker brownish color over her eye. She has an outsider nose and matted, mangy fur.
Picture:(Coming soon)

[[ooc:that position is taken yes, owever you could still be a lioness in the outsider pride =) The owner of this RP hasn't been around for a while, so your arrival might be exactly what we need to un-stick some of our characters lol ;P Also I'll be away for perhaps a day or two after this post, so please bear with me ^.^ ]]

Thankfully Simba was able to pull himself together enough to escape Kivuli's paws while Nala distracted him. She returned his nuzzle with passion, whispering When are you going to listen to me? She was relieved to see that Simba was unhurt. Nala then turned to the buisness of the outsider that attacked her mate. This time when she attached she wouldn't make the mistake of testing her strength against his. Instead she would fight smart if it came to that.

Nala began to circle Kivuli until she reached a position 180 degrees away from where she started. She stayed just out of paw-swiping distance so that Kivuli couldn't attack her without taking a few steeps and giving her time to react. She hoped her mate understood the plan and would maintain his position on the other side of the circle that they had formed around Kivuli. He would have to take his eyes off one of them.

"So what now Kivuli? You know if you attack one of us you'll have to kill us both. Assuming you can beat us with one us clawing you from behind, is that really what you want? You betrayed your pride when you refused to stand unconditionally beside your King, and for this you want vengeance?"
