Simba shook his head trying to take grasp of the story kiara had just told him. This... creature beside her was once a human. I was miffed when Zazu called me a freak. Though angry I had to make simba see that I wasn't a threat. Kiara noticed my glare at Zazu. She placed her paw onto my clawed hand placed her head under mine. Nala smiled at the affection her daughter was giving this stranger. Sure she didn't know him, but as long as Kiara was happy she was too.
"Sire, I recommend we exile this thing." zazu said. "This thing has a name Zazu!" kiara lashed out "and its Clay!" everyone, even me, were shocked at kiara's outburst. Realizing what she did, kiara took several deep breaths to calm down. Zazu wasn't moved by her outburst. "Sire I.." he began. "I'll give you a chance Clay. A chance to prove yourself trustworthy to stay in the pride lands." simba looked at Nala who nodded. "and a chance to prove that you're worthy to be my daughter's..." he smirked. "Mate." I felt my cheeks heat up as kiara looked at her father as if he was crazy. I noticed that her cheeks were gaining a red tint. Thank the kings and god for my dark gray fur. "DADDY! We just started to date." kiara said
Nala knew simba was teasing her. "Your majesty is it wise to talk about marriage right away mere hours after you and I met." I asked calmly raising an eyebrow. Simba was surprised that I didn't take the bait. I had learned, after many times of being told something that shocked me, to not jump to conclusions. I noticed nala chuckling. "Don't even ask about cubs queen nala." kiara's cheeks went from a light tint to an atomic red. "I wasn't going to." nala said in a tone I was all too familiar with. "Uh huh sure. Well kiara would you care to show me around." kiara nodded thankful to escape further embarrassment.
"Thanks for getting us away from them." kiara said relieved while laying down under the shade of a tree as I laid on the tree's branch. "No problem KK." I said. "But seriously, and this is an honest question, if we were planning to start a family what would we do?" kiara thought about it. "Considering we're two different species. Probably adopt." she said looking up at me. "That's what I was thinking."
we were resting for a while until... "Kiara." said lioness looked up to see her brother accompanied by the lion guard and her friends zuri and Tiifu, or as I called them; the brat twins. "You owe us an explanation about your friend." kion said. My ears twitched. I sat up suddenly and looked in the direction of the outlands. "Janja." I muttered landing on the ground with grace. "kion trouble in the pride lands." Ono said as he landed. "what is it?" kion asked. "Hyenas." I answered sniffing the air. "and jackals." I took off to prove myself to simba that I could be trusted. Kion looked at his friends. "Till the pride lands end, lion guard defend." they yelled. kiara, Tiifu, and zuri watched them go. "Care to talk about your new boyfriend." zuri asked teasingly. kiara glanced at her sweating bullets. She did NOT want to tell Zuri and Tiifu how she met me and what I once was
