Lion-O

Kagome sighed, her sleek black tail twitching back and forth as she lounged on a high beam of her room in the ThunderCat's lair. She was bored out of her mind and a bored Kagome could sometimes be worse than the Thunderkittens. Her dark blue eyes took in the large room she had come to call home, it was quite barren but it was home.

She had found herself trapped in this new world all alone, her body and powers changed. Her short fine black fur bristled at the memory. The battle had been won, the jewel complete and a pure wish was about to be made. To bad no such thing existed, she had thought she had come up with one, to simply wish for hope. Surely there was no way that wish could be tainted, corrupted.

Sadly it seemed there was a way, as soon as the words left her lips her body was engulfed by searing hot pain and her vision faded to white as she passed out from it. When she had come to she was in a whole new world, alone and no longer human.

Her tail twitched at the memory of when she had first seen herself, covered in fine black fur, ears pointed, sharp fangs, dainty claws, and a tail… She had promptly passed out, keeled over on the ground. A light blush stained her fur, at least no one was around to see her freak out then again it was justified!

She didn't mind the whole waking up in a new world, she had been there done that but it was the fact that she was no longer human! Her senses were in over load the faintest of sounds were deafening, the lightless of scents were putrid and she had a major headache since her eyes could not focus on just one thing.

Add in the fact she was as naked as the day she was born, minus the sheen of black fur, oh yeah. She had cursed the fates, the gods, everything. What else could they take form her? She was no longer human, her powers were muddled, and she was alone in a new world with no way to get home. She had cried, long and hard.

She knew crying wasn't the best course of action yet she didn't care. She was overwhelmed and honestly she just needed a good cry. The events of the past forty eight hours caught up with her and reality set in, the battle was over, people were dead. She was alone in a new world, no longer human, naked and her powers felt weakened.

Every time she tried to call on them they felt wakened, muddled, it was almost like there was an interference with them. She didn't know what it was but it made her vulnerable and scared. Luckily she had been found by people like her, ThunderCats as she learned they were, though at least they were clothed.

They had taken her in, thinking she was a survivor of their kingdom who had lost her memory and was living feral. She jumped at the explanation, not wanting to tell them the truth since she didn't know them or what was going on. It was mean but a necessary evil, they took her in reeducated her and made her one of their own. She had been shocked to learn she was still on earth, now deemed third earth, humans, had as everyone feared, run themselves into extinction. The Earth sat uninhabited by sentient beings until an alien race of sentinel animal like beings stumbled upon it.

Without humans the Earth was able to flourish and they had deemed it worthy enough to inhabit and so they had. At the time they were under Mumm-Ra's rule and were much to their embarrassment his lap dogs. Enslaving the other races and doing his bidding. That all changed when the first Lord of the ThunderCats, Leo, led a rebellion and won their freedom as well as freeing the other races.

As always time passed and history became legend and in time forgotten, Mumm-Ra and his technology had become but fables to be told to small children. The ThunderCats thrived as a kingdom yet the other species still remembered their time as salves and held a grudge that was in their blood. As was to be excepted.

Sadly they had gotten used to being 'top dog' and were blindsided when Mumm-Ra, who had been using the time of peace to regain power, attacked along side of the lizard people. Their kingdom fell and their race was enslaved. A few escaped and they were now trying their hardest to avenge their fallen people and once again destroy Mumm-Ra, she had been labeled a refugee and was now a part of said movement.

She had fit into the group almost seamlessly and while she felt guilty not telling them the truth she figured it was the past. There was no changing it, no going back. She was no longer the human miko Kagome but a ThunderCat and if she were to bring up her past it would just strain things and make them distrust her. She didn't want that, she had come to care far to much for the small mismatched group of cats.

"Kagome!" Her ears perked up at the familiar voice that called out her name and with a cat like grin she leaned down, her breasts pressing into the beam as she looked over it, her long black locks falling to frame her face. She watched with baited breath as he entered the room, his red mane defying gravity as per usual. His light blue eyes scanning the room for her.

His tan ears twitched no doubt hearing her heart beat, which had speed up as her prey entered her room. Her tail swished behind her as her furrowed his brows hearing her but not seeing her. He crossed his arms over his well built chest and looked around her room. "Kagome I know you're in here." She snickered as she rolled off the beam and landed on her bed with a small thump. She grinned as she sat up on her haunches her skin tight black pants giving little resistance to her graceful move. She rested her weight on her hands, her tail swishing in amusement behind her, the low cut of her skin tight dark blue shirt showing the tops of her fur covered breasts. "Yes?"

He felt his cheeks heat up lightly at the picture she made yet quickly pushed it down and shook his head, giving her a small smile. "Cheetara is looking for you." He still felt odd even speaking her name loud, his heart still ached from the unknown betrayal of her and his brother yet he was the Lord of the ThunderCats. He still had his duties and he knew it would be wrong of him to let his personal feelings get in the way of them. Though they did fester under the surface, he knew he was close to exploding and had been doing his best to avoid the new lovers.

Kagome blinked yet nodded, even though she was not a miko in this world she had potential as a cleric and Cheetara had happily taken her in as her apprentice. Sadly the work was grueling and Cheetara was a slave driver. She liked the older woman but she had a tendency to over work her, getting so caught up in not being the last cleric that she forgot Kagome was going into it blind. As it was she had been so caught up in her budding romance with Tygra she had let her training slack off.

Not that Kagome was complaining she liked being able to laze about, she attributed this to her change in race, and loved all the little extra cat naps she had been allowed to sneak. Though it seemed Cheetara was ready to get back to training her waywardapprentice, no doubt the growing tension between her lover and his brother had something to do with it. She felt bad for the other woman, once having been there, stuck between Kouga and Inu Yasha, and she did not envy her one bit.

As it was she felt pity for the young lord who stood before her, waiting for her to get up so he could lead her to Cheetara so she could begin her training. She had also been in his shoes, cast aside by the one you loved for someone you thought you could trust. So with a low sigh she stood up and stretched, her back popping as she let out a low pleased rumble.

Lion-O once again felt his cheeks heat up as the newest member of their small group stretched her curvy figure, bending in the most delicious ways. He quickly shook the thoughts away ashamed to be thinking such things. The poor girl had been through so much, a refugee from their kingdom with no memory of her past. His eyes darkened at the thoughts of what she could have been through alone without memories to guide her.

He knew she held dark secrets, every once and a while her eyes would glaze over and her face would look solemn as she thought about something from her past. Her very aura would dim and she would look so lost. So alone. She would quickly try to shake it off, to laugh it off yet he knew, they all knew she had a great sadness in her past. His blood boiled thinking of when they had first found her, naked confused and crying. What had she been through before they had found her?

Kagome blinked taking in his now angry state and with a frown she darted forward and placed a hand on his well muscled shoulder. "Lion-O?" She blinked as he pulled her into his arms and crushed her smaller form to his larger one. She was used to getting random hugs form the twins and at times Cheetara, they had let their imaginations run wild when it came to her clouded past. Which only made her feel worse about her small white lie, yet this was a new one.

She awkwardly hugged him back, feeling horrid about the turmoil she was putting him through. Yet she couldn't stop the low purr that sounded in the back of her throat as his body heat and scent washed over her. There was something about the young lord that just made her feel safe, and who was she to fight it? She relaxed in his hold and snuggled closer as he ran his fingers through her hair, calming her even more.

He inhaled her scent deeplym loving the way is seemed to snake around him, to call to him. He had merely meant to hug her, as he had seen the others do at times, to let her know she was okay now, that she was safe. She was a part of their small group and they would keep her safe no matter what, yet the second her smaller body snuggled into his larger one he started to have impure thoughts.

Thoughts not becoming of a supposedly heart broken king.

With a small cough and a blush dusting his cheeks he pulled back and gave her a small cocky grin, needing to live up to his reputation, and cocked his head towards the exit. "Let's get going, we don't want to keep her waiting to long…" He smiled as she let out a small whine, Cheetara hated to be kept waiting and would make her displeasure known via harsh training if she was kept waiting to long.

With her tail twitching nervously behind her she let her hand grab his lager one and ran out of the room, their fingers intertwining, dragging Lion-O with her. If she was going to get the evil eye for keeping her mentor waiting so was he, salty feelings between them be dammed. Cheetara's wrath was the one wrath she would not willingly face alone!
