Prologue

Ryou: Age, 10

Bakura: Age 19

Ryou scans through a record of video tapes, he spots something interesting "The Lion king"

He looks over at Bakura "Hey Kura! What's the lion king about?" he questioned pressing his index finger up against his lower lip.

Bakura raised an eyebrow at him although he was sitting on a couch

"Oh the lion king's about a great king, that ruled a great kingdom, of which he was also a very good ruler, just like me...well someday I guess" he chuckled closing his eyes

"Really?" Ryou gasped showing admiration to the video with his eyes wide open and a great big smile

"oh can we watch it big brother? Please, please, pleaaase!" he insistently repeated

Bakura yawned with his eyes barely shut "Oh later on.. tomorrow okay?"

Ryou looked at the video tape cover sadly, "I promise" Bakura had added smiling

Ryou nodded then grabbed his belongings, left for school, Bakura watched as he left the house.

As he got on the bus, the bus driver greeted him kindly with a smile "Good morning your majesty" he said chuckling, Ryou smiled with no words at all but in a way of saying "Good morning" and hopped his way to an empty seat which was only far in the back.

He gazed out the window into the tree house that was near his home where the sun glimmered through its leaves casting a faint light on a boulder which stood 10 feet high.

"The lion king…" Ryou thought to himself, he started to think of the lion king from his own point of view.. wonder what it must be like

~Chapter I~

My father once told me, that the great king's of the past are in the skies above in the stars, that whenever you are alone, for you are not, for the great royal kings are always there to guide you.

My life started when I was born , to my mother Mana, and my father who is the king of the Pride lands, Bakura as a matter of fact, let me start off with the Pride lands first.

The pride lands, was wide open, you could see miles away just standing on the Pride rock, the name 'Pride rock' was given by my father when he first won the battle for territory claiming his rightful place from his evil half brother.

Well at first Ryou thought he could finish narrating, until Katsuya interrupted "wait, wait ,wait, I got an idea how about you just tell them about you... like look at all these guys like that guy over there looking at us, yes you!.. oh wait your a lady, sheesh its so hard to tell from all of these people, they look bored out of their minds!"

"Oh okay"

When Ryou was born, they had a big ceremony for him, Tristian flew through the air towards Bakura who stood on the peak looking out into the horizon with dignity, Tristan landed bowed down to Bakura,who smiled and, nods.

Rafiki who's the mandrill, walks through the rankings of surrounding dragons and beasts as they all bowed down to him. He climbed up to Bakura giving him a big hug, he leads Rafiki over to Mana carrying with her little month old cub Ryou with such an adorable look.

Rafiki puts a bit of juice and sand onto Ryou's forehead-- a ceremonial crown, which made him make a squeaky sneeze, Mana smiles rubbing her head against Bakuras, taken in hand Rafiki ascends to the point of the rock with Ryou,and lifts him high in the air for the crowd to view

The land had suddenly felt like it came to life when the Beasts howled, and stamped on the ground, a beam of sunlight pierced through the skies that highlighted Rafiki and Ryou, one by one each beast bowed down. so on, the story begins.

***

Here we meet the antagonist, Akefia who is Bakura's little Brother, there for not the brightest of the family either.

He spots a mouse scurrying about in his cave, bored out of his miserable mind and hungry, he grabs the rodent, slowly lifted it to his face "..life's not fair, is it?" he sighed and started to play with it. "You see I-- Well I..shall never become king, and you...shall never see the light of another day.." he chuckled then starts to place the innocent creature on his extended tongue but he was cut off "Didn't your mother tell you not to play with your food?" it was Tristians voice

"What do you want?" he said, "I'm here to announce that King Bakura is on his way.. so you better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning!" the mouse realized now's his chance he quickly ran for safety

"Oh now look Tristian, you made me lose my lunch..." he said almost in

"Ha, you'll lose more than that when the king gets through with you, he's mad as a hippo with a hernia" he said looking to the side.

"Ohh I quiver with fear.." right when he said Fear he shows his insanity look showing his teeth, "Now Akefia don't look at me like that way.. HELP!" Akefia quickly pounces on the defenseless bird catching him in his mouth "Akefia!" immediately yelled Bakuras voice. "mm-hm..?"

"Drop him..!" Bakura demanded, Akefia spits him out onto the ground "Impeccable timing your majesty..."

sarcastically feeling as if he's full of joy "why if it isn't my big brother, descending from high to mingle with the commoners.."

"Mana and I didn't see you at the presentation of Ryou this morning" he said.

"Oh that was today? Oh I feel simply awful.." Akefia said and picks up a sharp rock then slowly scrapes it onto the rock wall making Tristian cringe from the sound of it.

he admires the sharp object "Must have slipped through my mind.."

"Yes, well, as slippery as your mind is, as the king's brother, you should have been first in line!" Tristian adds

"Well I was first in line, until that little runt was born.."

Bakura raises an eyebrow glaring at him "That little 'Runt' is my son.. and he's your future king."

"oh I should practice my curtsy then.." he turns his back to Bakura then starts to exit, "Don't turn your back on me Akefia!" he warned

"Oh no Bakura, Perhaps maybe you should not turn your back on me.." Bakura growls immediately jumps in front of Akefia baring his teeth at him "Is that a challenge?"

"Temper , temper, I wouldn't dream of challenging you.." Akefia said showing no consideration of it.

"Pity, why not?" Tristian grumbled

"Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share. But, when it comes to brute strength" he stares at Bakura eye to eye "but I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool" he finally leaves them.

"There's one in every family sire" tristian sighs "Two in mine actually, and they always manage to ruin special occasions"

Bakura sighs "What am I going to do with him?"

Tristian thinks deeply for a minute "He'll make a perfect throw rug"

"Tristian" Bakura chided

"Just think, whenever he gets dirty you can take him out and beat him" they both chuckled and left.

Later on a storm rages about in the Savannah causing rain to pour down into the earth,we come across the home of which Rafiki lives in, he's working on a painting of what appears to be a lion cub, singing to himself, he stops for a moment to realize he's missing something then gets to the source of the problem for the cub was missing a bit of its color, he takes a gentle swipe of his finger on its forehead.. nothing happened?

He looks down to his extra fruit he had lying around, he throws away the fruit which was empty then picks up the new one, he stares at the painting then laughs "..Ryou.." he finishes the coloring.

We now find Ryou coming out on the rock, he runs back into the cave "Dad! dad, come on dad, we gotta go wake up!" he leaps over several lionesses, which accidentally jumps on a few of them Oof,ouch! "sorry!..Oop" he finally reaches his sleeping father, tries to wake him up.

"Dad? Daad..Dad,dad,dad,dad,dad,dad"

While over Ryous endless noisy calls, Mana sleepily tells Bakura "Your son is awake..", Bakura also sleepily replies "Before sun rise he's your son.."

Well that didn't work, so another way. Ryou still tries "Dad? Come on dad.." he attempts to wake him up by tugging his ear, but looses grip "Daa-- whoa!" he crashes into a pile of twigs, so that didn't work either... He head butts Bakura directly at the side of his head, he sleepily opens his eyes at Ryou, that worked.

"You promised!" he growled

Noticing Ryous impatience "Okay, okay I'm up, I'm up.." he yawns showing his teeth.

"yeah!" Ryou happily shouted running out, Bakura gave a big yawn, as he and Mana followed Ryou out of the cave.

Ryou rubs against Mana; she nudges him ahead but stays back watching him and Bakura walk up the path with a loving expression.

The sun rises as it illuminates the top of the large mountain although it looks like a giant POINTY rock, other known as Pride Rock. Bakura and Ryou sat on the top looking up into the wide open Savannah "Look Ryou.. everything the light touches is our kingdom" Bakura explained, giving a speech.

Ryou amazed by the view "Wow"

Bakura continues "A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Ryou, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king."

"And this will all be mine?" Bakura questioned, "Everything" Bakura answered

"Everything the light touches.." he examines the landscape spotting a canyon "What about that shadowy place?"

Bakura seemed irked by the sound of it "That's beyond our borders.. you must never go there Ryou" he demanded

"But I thought a king could do whatever he wants" Ryou insisted

Bakura smirked, changing the subject with a smile "Oh there's more to being a king than.. getting your way all the time"

"There's more?"

Bakura chuckled "Ryou"

He leads Ryou into the Savannah where Antelopes are seen galloping "Everything you see exists together, in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance, and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope."

Ryou looked completely baffled "But dad, don't we eat the Antelope?"

"Yes Ryou but let me explain, you see when we die our bodies become the grass, and the Antelope eat the grass, and so we are all connected to the Great circle of life.." he finally finished, then Tristian flies over landing on a rock in front of them.

"Good morning sire!" he greeted

"Good morning Tristian.." Bakura replied, "Checking in with the morning report!"

"Fire away.." Bakura said

"Well! The buzz from the bees is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot..." Bakura distracted from the conversation he and Ryou had "Oh really?"

With a lack of enthusiasm Bakura still listens "And the monkeys are going to ape over this, but seems the Girraffes think they're above it all"

"Really?"

Ryou showing no interest in Tristian, spots a grasshopper and pounces at it, but misses,he takes a peak in his cupped paws thinking he caught it.. but sadistically there was nothing, looking at the emptiness with disappointment.

"What are you doing son?" Bakura asked

"Pouncing.." Ryou mumbled

"Let an old pro, show you how its done.." Bakura grinned looking at Tristian.

"Well the birds are pecking on the Elephants to get the flee's off, but the elephants can't seem to forget about it, so I tried to tell them.."

"Tristian.. would you, turn around?"

"Yes sire, right away.." he follows his orders by turning his back to them, and still continues on with what he was saying.

"Stay low, to the ground.." Bakura instructed.

"Okay low to the ground, right .. yeah" Ryou said

Tristian stops and looks back at them "What's going on?"

"A pouncing lesson" Bakura said

"A pouncing lesson. oh yes, very good your majesty" didn't he say pouncing? "A pouncing lesson?! oh no you can't be serious!" Tristian cried

Without saying a word, Bakura motions him with a twirl of his paw to turn around

"Oh this is so, humiliating.."

Bakura whispers to his sons ear "Try not to make a sound.."

"What are you doing Bakura?" no response, he looks around as if he were ditched "Bakura? Ryou?"

Then, out of nowhere Ryou successfully does a full on pounce leaving Tristian on the ground, stunned. Bakura laughs almost bursting his gut "That's very good"

A Golpher emerges from the ground "Tristian"

"yes?"

"Sir, I've got grieve news from the under ground!"

Before Bakura could teach Ryou anything else he's interrupted by and urgent message "sire! Hyenas, in the pride lands!" Bakura leaves Ryou "Tristian, take Ryou home" he commanded

"aw dad, can I come?"

"No son, its too dangerous" Bakura curtly replied

"I never get to go anywhere.." Ryou pouted

"Oh young master maybe one day you can then you can, chase those slobbering mangy stupid poachers from dawn until dusk." Tristian said.
