I'm here with a sequel to my fan fiction "Long Live the Queen". I will be introducing more characters of my own creation. You will also see how Cheezi, Chungu, and Janja were born. Plus some more history about our favorite Hyena trio. This will be slightly longer than the first story, but not by much. Enjoy the story. Reviews are love! I don't own any of the Lion Guard or Lion King Characters mentioned. They belong to Disney. I only own my OCs (Karama, Aneesa, etc.).

Summary: A sequel to "Long Live the Queen". This is a story of how the Hyenas in their new home outside of the Pride Lands continue to laugh, play, love, grow, and struggle to survive. New conflicts emerge and secrets are revealed. Read to find out what happens.

Chapter One

Banzai was once again stationed outside of the cave he and Shenzi shared. Once again, Shenzi was giving birth. She only had Jasiri a little over a year ago when the mating season started up again. Banzai was hesitant at first. However, Shenzi wanted more cubs. Banzai couldn't hold that against her. More cubs meant a larger clan. Banzai then saw his daughter Jasiri running up to him laughing.

"Daddy, are my little sisters here yet?" She asked.

Banzai chuckled.

"Now Jasiri, we don't know if they'll be girls or boys. That is for the Circle of Life to decide." He replied, as he nuzzled her.

Jasiri nodded.

Shenzi called for her mate and daughter from within their cave. Banzai followed his daughter into their home. When they saw Shenzi, both of them smiled. Nestled around Shenzi was not one, but three new born cubs. Two males and a female. They all went up to their sister first. They then all greeted their father.

"What are their names?" Banzai asked, as one of his sons tried to nibble his paw.

"Well I reserved the honor of naming our second daughter to Jasiri. However, You can name our boys." Shenzi said.

It took some thinking. However, Jasiri settled on the name Maisha for her little sister. Banzai named his sons Hodari - after his father, and Abdalla. Rafiki came to bless the new borns along with Simba and his queen. The only two hyenas who were not present at the ceremony was Aneesa and her mate, Ed. They were tending to their sons that day. Their names were Cheezi and Chungu. They had planned to attend, but their sons were both sick with worms. The boys were fussy about taking the medicinal plants that would purge them of the worms. Ed held his boys still as Aneesa fed them the plants. Ed whimpered as his boys struggled to swallow their medicine. His mate nuzzled him.

"Don't worry Eddie. Our boys will be purged of the worms in a few minutes. The plants need to digest first." Aneesa said.

"Aneesa! Ed! I want to speak with you both right now!" Shenzi ordered.

The two emerged from their cave. Heads bowed and ears flattened in submission they dared not look at the queen. Shenzi growled. She was mad.

"Aneesa, Ed; why were you not at the ceremony this morning for my new cubs?" She asked.

"Ed sorry big sister. Ed did so want to go, but-" Ed began to explain, but was silenced when Shenzi tackled him.

"Shut up! You both have nerve to not appear at my cubs' blessing!" Shenzi shouted.

Ed whimpered. Aneesa then stepped forward.

"Your majesty. I humbly apologize for not going. However, our boys were sick. They have worms. We were taking care of them all this time. We couldn't leave them Shenzi." Aneesa said.

Shenzi backed up and her ears dropped. She understood now why they didn't come. She licked and nuzzled her younger brother Ed.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you both. I've just been going crazy. Carrying and birthing three cubs is not easy." Shenzi said softly.

"It's okay Shenzi. You've been through a lot. It happens. You should've seen me when I was pregnant with the boys. All I can say is, poor Eddie. No sane male would've tolerated me." Aneesa then said with a laugh.

The three hyenas laughed as they embraced each other. Shenzi didn't want their joy to end. Sadly, It would end all too soon.

The sky over the hyenas' territory was black and miserable. The clan were all gathered at their meeting spot. Aneesa cried as she gazed at her mate's lifeless body. Her sons whimpered as they begged for their mother to comfort them.

"Ed. Oh Ed." She said through her soft sobs.

Shenzi was inconsolable when she heard her little brother had passed away. She remained in her cave while her children and Banzai attended his funeral. Ed was laid to rest in a freshly dug den. A huge stone placed in front of the opening. Aneesa and her sons are the last to leave.

Time passed since Ed's passing. Cheezi and Chungu grew up to be rough and tumble boys, like their father. Jasiri was growing up to be a kind, sweet, and very beautiful princess. Hodari and Abdalla were learning to become "warriors" for the clan. Maisha was learning about how to be a princess. One day, Jasiri and Maisha were playing among the rocks and paths of their territory when they encountered a male hyena slightly older than them. His name was Janja. He was one of the clan's future "warriors". Janja looked over and saw the two princesses. Both were very pretty girls. However, his attention was zeroed in on Jasiri. Janja didn't know what to think or say. He did the only thing he knew how to do right now. He began to tease the girls. Poor Jasiri got most of it though. Finally, Jasiri and her sister had enough. The girls left as quickly as they could.

"Yeah that's right Jasiri. You and your sister keep running!" Janja said with a growl.

He then sighed as he smelled Jasiri's scent around his territory. He had fallen in love the moment he laid eyes on her. He even lightly nibbled her ear. Janja ran home happier than he ever was before. His mother was unhappy that he had been teasing the princesses. The scolding he got was worth it though. The princess Jasiri had looked at him and they tussled a bit. She even growled his name. To Janja, she was cute when she was annoyed. He'd have to tease her more often.

"It was awful mommy. Janja wouldn't stop chasing Maisha and I. He even nibbled my ear. It was so annoying." Jasiri complained.

Shenzi paused in bathing her eldest. She looked at her with understanding.

"Are you sure he wasn't teasing you because he likes you? Banzai used to tease me all the time when we were cubs. He did all the things Janja did and worse. One time he filled his mouth with grubs and spat them at me every time I passed by. It was gross and some got into my mane. I went to my mother with the same complaint. However, as we grew up; the teasing was replaced with more desirable displays of affection." Shenzi said.

"Well, as far as I know. I don't like Janja; and he clearly doesn't like me." Jasiri replied with a pout.

Shenzi shrugged and tickled her daughter to lift her spirits. She then finished cleaning her daughter. Jasiri went to curl up with her siblings. Shenzi stood up to await Banzai's return from evening patrol. When he did, Shenzi brushed up against him. She even circled him a few times. Banzai was surprised by the affection. However, he didn't mind. He loved his queen very much.

"Banzai, do you remember how we were like as cubs?" Shenzi asked.

"Yeah. We tussled and teased each other a lot." He replied.

"Janja was teasing our girls today. It reminded me of how we were at that age." Shenzi then said.

"Easy Shenzi. I know what you are thinking. I'm not ready to marry off any of my young yet." Banzai said.

"You're right Banzai. However, sometimes I can't help but look towards the future." Shenzi said.

Banzai licked her. He assured her that they had plenty of time before their cubs would have to find a mate. Shenzi nuzzled him and licked him affectionately. Banzai leapt up and nipped at her ears and neck lovingly. Shenzi was no where near being in heat, but tonight was special. She hadn't mated off season since she was a princess. She pulled Banzai to the ground and the two playfully rolled around. They then snuck off somewhere more secluded. They returned, both fell asleep. Shenzi curled up right against Banzai.

Sorry for the weak beginning. I Promise things will get interesting in the next chapter. I have never done a sequel to any of my fan fictions before.
