What are you?

Author's note

Hello everyone, my name is Welshy and this is my first fan fiction story and, Well, I didn't really expect myself to create a fan fiction story, but heck with it, I got bored he he. Any who, I thought I would make one to see how it goes, I had a story in mind where a wolf has been teleported into the lion king universe but during the events of the lion guard show as well but also kinda in my own story, the wolfs story also develops throughout the story. I'm not sure how long I will keep publishing but we'll see. I also appreciate constructive criticism and I don't mind if anyone provides me any tips on how to improve my English perhaps would be much appreciated, thank you. But enough of me babbling on, let us get on with the show and bare in mind, this is my first fan fiction so go easy on me, pretty please.

Disclaimer, I do not own any of the lion guard or lion king characters except for my own.

He woke up, not even the slightest clue on where he is and how he got here. In fact, ''where is here?,'' he thought to himself attempting to scan the horizon and craggy cliff faces.

''aahhh,'' as he hissed in pain, grunting while trying to position himself but only with the slightest of his might to stand.

''Holy god, ha, did I fall from there?' as he let a slight chuckle and glimpsed up at the cliff edge, revealing the cliff had some exposures of where the rocks were and small pebbles dropping as he glimpsed up to it. That could have been a clue to what happened, but it doesn't explain how he got here in his current location. I mean, he's a wolf right. Why is a wolf in a hot, scorching, barren landscape with no civilisation in sight…. Wait a second!

As he took a closer inspection of himself, he only realised that he was a wolf. He had jet black fur that was dark as the veil night sky, he then looked at a reflection of himself in a small but defiled puddle. He had light blue eyes that looked like the crescent moon and he also had grey streaks as he noticed it when turning around to see how he looked from his upper body, he was an average built for a wolf as well. But unsure what breed of wolf he was, I mean he wasn't a zoologist for sure but, come to think of it now, he had forgotten his name and what had happened up until this following event (oh dear, not an amnesia episode).

''Ho god,'' as he let a small burst of shock and realisation, whilst shooting up and stumbling back against the wall as if he was surrounded and hunted by wolves, despite him of course being one.

''ha ha, this is actually kind of cool'' as he chuckled a little to the surprising thought of him being a wolf, thinking it was quite an admiration to him.''Maybe I could get to learn how it takes to fend for myself in the wild. Although, I'm not going to be a professional at it yet but man, animals are intriguing,'' whilst still inspecting himself, even in certain areas that he was too afraid of inspecting, ya know.

''How did you get yourself in the this one mate is beyond me, what is my name again aahhh,'' while grunting in pain and rubbing his head as well as questioning his own being. He was in a nice cool area but that was only because of the shade that the sun was providing. He needed to quench his thirst for that he was dehydrated beyond believe. He searched for the nearest watering hole so that he can hydrate himself.

''sniff,'' ''whoa, where did this come from. Oh yeah, heightened senses, that's cool'' He then set out to find the nearest watering hole, although he didn't get very far due to his injured, rear leg.

''ow man, this blows. I don't want to die straight away in the middle of nowhere'' within his grievance of not wanting to die, he was then met by an ominous voice who called.

''Well, what brings a strange creature like you to this part of the outlands? Ha ha, especially in my territory''

A calm but yet intimidating voice that could send chills down anyone's spine with a burst of giggles, it felt like it was scary but yet also playful at the same time.

But above all things, this voice was clearly female but lurking in the shadows, remaining vigilante and discreet.

''gulp'' is what his reaction is right now, he then responded to the voice and said '' I don't mean any trouble, nor am I here to cause any harm but I'm lost, I don't suppose you could help me by any chance?''

''relax tough guy, no need to be tense here'' being sarcastic.

''I'm more than willing to help but first''

He then braced for what was going to happen or what she was going to say.

''Who and,'' she then paused and examined the wolf to her extent of what she was confronting, just to be sure who she was questioning and then returning back to her question.

'' What are you?''

''This is it now, game over man, game over,'' as he thought to himself not knowing on how to respond to that question, how was he going to explain to her what he was and give her his name. He cannot remember his name out of existence and unsure of how he was going to identify his self to her. It then hit him, maybe he could have his own identity, after all he is a wolf and he also could not remember his name in his past life or even if he had a past life.

This was it, do or die, he was going to give himself a new name and quite possibly, a new life.

''My name is shadow and I'm a wolf,'' he then said it with a mixed of relive and regret, maybe he could have done it better to present himself but he was satisfied with it.

She then responded to his answer but with no certainty of what a wolf was '' Shadow huh, nice name ha ha, it suits ya'' while she had said it in an admiring tone.

''uh, thanks I suppose he,'' as he was unsure of how he wanted to answer that statement.

''I think it's fair to say now that you could show yourself and uh help me out or should I have to help you first?''

''Okay big guy, I'll come down willingly. I just wanted see what you looked like, you're like a little ant from up here ha ha'' she said with humour.

''yeah, yeah, I'm really glad you're having fun. No really, I' am,'' as shadow said with a hint of sarcasm and annoyance in his voice, he waited patiently for her to descend as she was pretty high up from where she was. Must have had eagle vision from up there to spot him.

As she had finally jumped down she revealed herself and announced her name to shadow.

''Names jasiri by the way,'' whilst said in a friendly tone.

Shadow was then surprised that she was hyena, unless the short burst of laughs and giggles was not a big clue, he was still surprised. Although he didn't know what to expect of what type of animal she could have been. But shadow was amazed and baffled of how, well… stunning she looked. Jasiri had a thin but smooth frame and a lithe body that looked dashing, she also had slender legs that looked like she could run as fast as a cheetah. She had a great vibrant colour of her body and smooth streaks that ran across her hair which banged over her head. But what made her appearance more wonderful to shadow that could not ignore was her eyes, her eyes were like refined diamonds that glisten in the moonlight and sparkle as more as a shooting star. And as blue as the calm waves of the ocean. Shadow could not stop admiring her beauty, she was a spectacle to him. It's all different now that jasiri revealed herself to shadow, not even an hour ago he was frightened but now he's amazed.

''Oh my god, I think I'm in love right now'' He thought taking in jasiri's appearance even more than ever.

''Um, are you okay there buddy?'' Jasiri asked as she noticed shadow in awe struck and his mouth open a little. He had a slight smirk on his face as he went a little red and finally snapping out of a trance.

He shook his head a little and finally responded. ''oh, ha, sorry about that I uh, um,'' As he stuttered more words than he could have done in that sentence.

''Nice one prince charming, she's going to think of you as weirdo now'' while beating himself up over of what had just done, he focussed back on jasiri and noticed how close she was than before.

''ha ha, you must have bumped your head on something, you seem to be losing yourself there ha ha'' she said with her laughing simultaneously.

Shadow was still standing there, a bit embarrassed but also chuckling at jasiri of how she saw him, shadow already knew that she was going to be tons of fun to hang out with, her laughs were kinda cute as well as Shadow was still getting some entertainment from jasiri.

'' Aha ha, yeah, I must of hit my head pretty hard, especially if I have fallen for someone like you'' Shadow said trying to flirt with jasiri and being charismatic at the same time.

''Hmm, I don't know. You might have to fall harder than that tough guy, flattering will get you everywhere'' Jasiri said with a smirk, moving closer to Shadow as if she was about push up against him.

''Well I aim to please, but should we head out to where you promised me about that watering hole or shall I flatter you with that one'' Shadow said with a sly smile to his face attempting to tease Jasiri.

''Aha, not a problem king charming. I'll take you to have yourself some water'' she said but also adding to the sentence ''But stay close to me understood, I'm not the only hyena around here and maybe only the friendliest of most parts'' she said with a cautious tone in her voice and a serious expression on her face.

''Okay, no problems with me there aahhh'' as Shadow tried to move but almost forgot about his injured leg, problem from all the charm talk he tried to attempt with jasiri.

''You're hurt, don't move or you'll make it worse'' Jasiri said in a worried tone for his concern.

''It's fine I just need to wa- rhh, crap'' as Shadow grunted he examined his leg and cursed to the fact that he's not walking anywhere, it was sharp right to his rear leg.

''I'm sorry to say Shadow but you're not going anywhere, don't try and put pressure on it, okay?'' Jasiri saying while trying to be supportive as she could be.

''ha, yes mother aha,'' Shadow saying in a humorous manner. He noticed how Jasiri was so concerned for him as well which made Shadow feel happy and more at comfort at her soothing voice.

Jasiri then crouched down to Shadows leg and began licking the wound to sanitise it. This made Shadow feel a little uneasy but he tried to ignore that feeling as her tongue was almost caressing his leg to Shadows personal feeling.

After Jasiri was finished attempted to heal his wound at the best of her capabilities, she then decided it was best to support Shadow along the way to the watering hole.

''I think it would be best if you would lean on me until we get to the nearest water source'' said Jasiri.

''you sure you can handle me though?'' Shadow said with a concerning expression that he might actually crush her with his weight.

''Ha, don't worry about me, I fought bigger things than you'' clearly teasing Shadow of how he is degraded to a less dominant animal.

''aha, alright, don't say I didn't warn you and thanks by the way, I'm glad to have met a friendly face'' Shadow said with a friendly smile.

''hakuna matata, I would say the same as well, you can't have too many friends'' Jasiri saying whilst helping him up to be ready for support.

They stared at each other for a few seconds with a passionate smile and affectionate presence.

Shadow then proceeded to lean on jasiri and was surprised how she handled fairly. Shadow was trying his best not to go asymmetric and topple on her, although that would sound funny, Shadow wouldn't want to it in this case.

They both then set out to find the nearest watering hole or any clean water source that didn't spell putrid all over it. But night was about to befall the outlands and they would also need a place of slumber, so that they will rest easy, two animals becoming one.

End of Chapter one

Wow, I was surprised of how long this was, I could have gone all day but I need to spare a few parts for future chapters, silly me. I hope I have not dragged this out too much and made any definition, grammar or punctuation mistakes that irritate people to the core, I tried to do this very patiently and very narratively so that there is some character development but they'll be plenty of that in future characters. And by the by, yes, I'am making jasiri and my own character a thing because I like wolves and I like Jasiri in the lion guard show, she's my favourite so far, don't ask. But in all seriousness, I hope I haven't forced them as much as I thought I did and I don't know if I should alter the story title as well, but let me know what you peeps think. Don't be afraid to write reviews that are negative saying 'this part needs more improvement' but be formal about it, being honest and constructive criticism never kills me, on the outside at least, I kid of course. But most importantly I hope you all have enjoyed this story of mine and especially have a nice day, take care lads and laddies and stay awesome.
