Decided to write a lion king fic. XD Don't kill me.
Lion king belongs to Disney. Kaera, Shetani, and Kamara belong to me. Kamera's quote belongs to Fruits Basket. Heh.
"Don't you regret any of your actions to Shetani?"
"No… my greatest regret… is that that thing ever came out of my body."
Those two sentences played through my head in fact they were the only thing playing through my head. If you haven't guessed by now, my name is Shetani. It means demon… that's all I've ever been thought as. That's why I'm running away, but no matter how far I run… those sentences follow me. I don't know how long I've been running… but the heat is catching up with me… the hot dry sand biting at my foot pads. The vultures are getting closer…
Kaera POV
Ever since Zira died and the rest of her pride moved into the pride lands the outlands weren't considered to dangerous anymore. It's a great place to go exploring. The pride lands get boring on days like today anyway. Hopefully something died so I can go bowling for buzzards. I laughed at my little joke and looked up. What luck… something did die. I hurried out towards the spot they were circling.
There's something out there alright… it's big… about as big as...
"A lion!" I ran over, chasing away the buzzards that had landed and stood over the cub. She looked about my age. What was she doing out here though...
"You're blocking the buzzards."
I looked down, pulled out of my thoughts. She had spoke, that meant she was conscious. "What are you doing out here?"
"Who cares… you're blocking the buzzards… get lost."
Fine, if she was going to play that game…
"You're a pride lander." I could tell by her looks. "You do realize you're miles from the Pridelands right?"
"So?"
"And I could kill you right now… no one would notice…" I grinned.
"So?"
This girl was getting irritating…
"All right!" I grabbed her scruff and flung her in to the air catching her on my back before she could react.
"Hey!" I felt claws on my back before her weight left my shoulders. "What do you think you're doing?!" She yelled. I grabbed the scruff of her neck again. Can't trust that she wasn't going to run farther and let the buzzards have their fill later.
"Hey! Let go! Where are you taking me!" As if I would answer her even without the scruff of her neck in my mouth. I stared straight forward waiting for Pride Rock to come into view.
Shetani POV
Filthy outsider… who did he think he was! I didn't think there where any of them left… but rogues never stay away long. Right now I was too busy trying not to trip over his paws or my own to scratch him one good. I looked up into his face the best I could from my position. His fur was dark brown, his nose black and pointed. His eyes surrounded by dark fur as where the inside of his ears. His eyes shockingly green. The beginnings of a mane covered his right eye with black.
"Taka!" I stopped walking. He didn't seem to hear me… but jerked me forward. "I know from who's pride you're from!" I warned "You're nothing but the child of traitorous Taka! Let me go!" He shook his head and dragged me forward again. My paw landed on the cool hardness of rock. I looked up. I was back in the pride lands. I followed him up Pride Rock, silently, until we reached the den at the top.
I had never been up to the den. My family was never this close to Pride Rock. I looked away, I didn't deserve to be this close. I felt 'Taka's' teeth let go of my scruff. As much as I wanted to run, or throw my self of pride rock… I couldn't… I was frozen in place.
"What's this?" A voice came from the opening of the den. I looked up. A pair of serious piercingly green eyes stared down at me from a dark brown face with a black mane. A scar covered his left eye. I shrunk under his gaze… the real Taka. No doubt about it.
"No, you're dead." I whispered silently.
You might be wondering how I know the story of Taka. I was always compared to him. He was trash, I'm a demon… my mother always figured we'd end up the same and so told me the story of Taka every chance she got. I eventually figured that it wasn't all Taka's fault. His father didn't treat him well… in that sense we where the same, except where it was his father, it was my mother.
"She's a mess." The elder lion told the cub who had dragged me here. "Where did you find her?"
"The outlands."
The elder one thought for a minute. "Are you sure she's not a rogue from another pride?"
"No, she's from around here, you can tell by her looks"
The elder lion nodded and once again I found myself being dragged someplace. I was in to much shock to fight and before long I found we had stopped at the water hole.
I stared down into my reflection in the water.
"I get it now." I said quietly. Taka jr let go of my scruff. "I'm dead." I smiled.
Taka jr. sighed and shook his head. "Why do you say that?"
"It makes perfect sense! That's why you're here! And Scar… he was killed… I'm sure one of his cubs too… that's why you're here… Scar…" I practically leaped with joy "Muffasa! I can talk to him and then I-" I froze. "Wait…no… we wouldn't go to the same place as him." I stared down at my paws… this was all proof… I was no better than Taka… no better then the infamous king Scar.
I felt a tongue rub over the top of my head. "You are a mess, and delirious."
I grunted in response. Delirious, he didn't know the half of it.
"You're not dead." He smiled "Where are my manners? My name is Kaera."
"Shetani" I mumbled.
Dunno whether to leave this a one shot or keep going. Heh. Hope it wasn't too glaringly bad.
Reveiw if you liked!
