I do not own any Lion Guard or Lion king characters. They belong to the respected work of Disney. I only own my OC's (characters that I made up and don't come out in the series.)
Chapter 1 Peaceful Much?
The soft breeze blew past the Pride Lands moving the grass softly when something slithered fast past the grass. It was the snake. The Egyptian Cobra of the Pride Lands, Ushari, slithered fast through the tall grass.
He then reached a grass-less, opened area with a tree in the middle. The cobra sighed in releif. He looked behind him as a stampede ran across the grass. The Lion Guard were on sight running after the herd of antelope.
"Glad I made my way out before I got run over" The snake said while rolling his eyes and continued watching as the Lion Guard did their job.
Behind him, in the tree, a bright-red small lizard made it's way down from the branches and stopped half way the tree as it noticed the snake standing near it.
"Ushari" The lizard called. The snake turned behind him seeing the lizard on the tree. "Shupavu? What are you doing here? This is a bit far out from the Pride Lands. A little close to the Back Lands, don't you think?"
"The same I could ask you" Shupavu said. "That doesn't anssswer my question." The snake replied with a small hiss for he liked to get his questions answered directly. Even if it was an ally like the small lizard he was talking to. She is a skink and is friends with the snake.
"What's wrong?" Shupavu asked. "You seem angry. I can tell because you only reply to me in such a mean way when you're angry."
The cobra sighed annoyingly. "The Lion Guard are supposed to maintain peace and they always seem to ruin MY peace."
"I know. You always tell me that." Shupavu replied while rolling her eyes with a smile. "What doesss that mean?" The snake hissed.
"It's frustrating but you always handle it in an adult way. And you raised your voice to me a while ago." The skink answered. Ushari just stared at the skink and then rolled his eyes with a sigh.
"I'm sorry. It's been frustrating since morning and I'm dealing with many stuff right now. And the Lion Guard make it harder for me. They're alwaysss getting in the way."
"As usual" The skink smiled. Ushari looked at her for a while again. "I'm going to ask again, what are you doing here?" He asked more calmly and kindly. He knew the skink wouldn't answer if he asked in a mean way again.
"That's better" Shupavu smiled at Ushari. "I'm waiting for Hitaji. I'm meeting with him."
"Again?!" The snake asked in a yell. "With him?" He made a disgusted face. "You've been seeing him a lot. Is he making you work hard?"
"Not really." The skink answered. "We're close to tricking those buffalo and get our revenge for them running over us. I just need to spy a little more. And report to Hitaji to get our payback." Ushari rolled his eyes.
"I don't like him." Ushari said. "He's such an annoying and bosssy lizard." He hissed quietly.
"And you pretend you like him" Shupavu said. "I don't pretend. He knows I don't like him." Ushari replied back.
"Well, once I'm done spying for him, you'll see me more often in the Pride Lands." Shupavu said.
"Yes. I was wondering why I haven't seen you for a while." Ushari said. "I always see you near that lonely watering hole."
Shupavu just stared at him confused. A long silence stood. Why is she looking at me like that? Ushari thought. He then blushed lightly when he thought about the way it sounded.
"No, no, no, no, no. Not like that." Ushari quickly said. "I meant that I see you near the watering hole everytime I pass by to go back to my den. Not that I spy on you or anything." He had a nervous look waiting for her response.
"Alright." Shupavu answered awkwardly. She then shook her head and gave a serious look. "Anyways, I better get going. Hitaji still hasn't arrived."
"See? That's one of the things I despise about him." Ushari said. "He always takes his time and leaves his companions waiting."
"Then, I'll just have go to his den." Shupavu said. This caught Ushari's attention. He looked at the skink in an angry and surprised expression.
"To his den?!" The snake asked. "Yeah" Shupavu answered calmly and looked at the Back lands. "He said that if he didn't arrive under an hour or so, that I was welcome to have the meeting at his den."
"You're not seriously going, are you?" Ushari asked. The skink looked back at her snake friend. "I am. I always attend his meetings."
Ushari groaned. "Fine. Who else is attending?"
"Only me"
"Fine. I guess-... " Ushari widened his eyes realizing what she had said. "Only you?!"
"Yeah. Me and him are the only one's working at this half-baked revenge." Shupavu said. "I better get going. Sure was nice to see you again, Ushari." The skink left to the Back Lands.
Ushari gave a look and then decided to go home. He kept muttering to himself on his way back. "Hitaji... Who does he think he is? Keeping Shupavu waiting like that. Some partner." The snake rolled his eyes. He arrived at a medium-sized boulder and looked down at a hole close to the grass which was most likely his den.
"I just hope Shupavu doesn't get much into that lizard. He's annoying enough already." The snake slided inside his hole.
Hitaji is a made up character to add interest to the story although the Ushari x Shupavu moments are most interesting in my opinion.
