Hi everyone! I'm new to FanFiction, so go easy on me. I absolutely love Shere Khan and noticed there aren't many stories on him (especially romance). The Disney Company had planned on making a Jungle Book 3, where Shere Khan escapes the lava pit and, along with Baloo, gets captured by man and taken into a circus environment. Unfortunately, due to the lack of success for The Jungle Book 2 (which I thought sucked), it was cut. Anyway, this is my version of what The Jungle Book 3 would be like. There's going to be some romance with Shere Khan in this story, so if you don't like-DON'T READ. I do NOT own any of the Disney characters. I only own the OC's. Enjoy! :D

The Jungle Book 3: Shere Khan Returns

Chapter 1:

"How are you, Khannie me boy?" Lucky had just returned from his afternoon meal to come tease a certain tiger.

"Is that head on your shoulder your conscience?" Lucky teased. He laughed with delight. He came by every day after his normal routines-picking the carcasses of dead creatures, preening himself, hanging out with Flaps, Dizzy, Buzzy, and Ziggy, and most importantly: teasing unfortunate creatures. Much to Shere Khan's distaste, he was one of those unfortunate creatures, or as Lucky called them, "poor saps."

"I brought you a couple of bones to pick, Khannie!" After Lucky was finished with his meals, he would bring Shere Khan his leftovers. Problem was, there wasn't much left over. Only about 3 bones were left, all of which only had ΒΌ of meat left on them.

"Go away," Shere Khan said, "I'm in no need of your 'assistance', or your teasing for that matter." He said this while scratching away some of the statue. He was going to be free! And most importantly, he was going to make sure he did more than pluck out a few of Lucky's feathers!

"Aw, come on stripes! You don't want to be an ugly bunch of bones, do you?" Lucky exclaimed. "Wait a minute! You were an ugly bunch of bones before you were trapped in here!" Lucky was killing himself, but Shere Khan was planning on doing the killing.

Shere Khan clenched his teeth in anger and frustration. Out of all the creatures he could be stuck with, why did it have to be Lucky?

"Now you can't kick poor saps' as-"Lucky was cut off as Shere Khan burst through the statue!

Shere Khan let out an evil chuckle as he walked toward Lucky. "Thought I'd die as a miserable, pathetic creature, didn't you? Did you really think that I'd give up so easily? Did you think I'd let you tease me for the rest of my days? (Chuckle) Well, you were terribly mistaken. Prepare to meet your end." Shere Khan roared in victory and pounced on Lucky before he could fly away. I'll give you a hint of what happened: Burnt vulture in a steamy pit.

Shere Khan leapt onto the ledge and escaped the hell he thought would be his fate. As he was about to jump over the broken bridge, he was shot with a tranquilizer dart. He roared in pain, searching around for his new enemy. His golden eyes landed on a group of men with guns, giving him the urge to attack. But before he had the chance, he blacked out and collapsed. Who were these men? What did they want with him? Before he blacked out, he saw one of the men take out a knife. Was this to be his end?

Hey guys! What do y'all think? Hope y'all like the story so far. Please review. Ideas and suggestions are welcome. I'll update ASAP. :D :) ;)
