Chapter Eight
As Nuka walked, he found that Kopa was now cooperativly walking next to him with a defeated look on his face. Kiara, on the other hand, was violently swinging around in his mouth still, trying to get loose. Kopa looked up to her, and, in a small voice, said, "Just... give up Kiara. They've won." Kiara looked over at her brother, astounded. Nonetheless, she settled down, looking very sad.
Nuka smirked. This would HAVE to work! If it diddent... he diddent know what he would do. Vitani looked over at Nuka with an approving smile, then to Kopa with a devilishly sweet smile. She turned forward and said, "I'm running ahead to ready mother and the others." She said, breaking into a run. Nuka nodded, and Kopa looked over at him. He was half tempted to make a run for it, but shook his head, thinking otherwise.
"M..Mister Nuka?" He said in a small voice. "Where are we go--" He was cut short by Nuka.
"None of your buisiness, Runt." he said through Kiara's fur. Kopa turned around, walking ahead silently again. Every few seconds he would open his mouth to say something, but would think against it.
A few minutes later, the party reached the Den to find Zira, her guards, and Vitani waiting for them. Nuka could pick out the lioness' that were hiding here and there. "My, my, Nuka.", she said, grinning ear to ear. "You've finally done something right for once! Bring them to me at once."
Nuka nodded, and, pulling Kopa by his tail, Kiara in his mouth, he took the cubs over to Zira. Dropping them at her feet, he looked up at her expectantly. "D...did I do well, Mother?" he asked.
"Yes, my son." Zira said. "You have done well." She examined the cubs, then told the assembled lioness' to take up guard around the Den, lest Simba be worried and come out here. "Nuka!" she said, finally done. "Take these cubs to the rock-cages in the Den."
Nuka nodded. "Anything for you, mother!" he said, picking the cubs up again. By now he was used to their taste. He walked into the den without looking back.
