A/N: Wow... Two weeks. I still haven't got my internet back, but I have it for today. It's been quite the week for my city so far, especially at my school. First, a local soldier was killed. I didn't know him, but it's still sad. Then, two people were killed in a helicopter crash about 200 yards away from my school, so... yeah, it's been a long week. I've missed writing, I better get moving!


Chapter 1: Anger Problem

"Mkali! Hurry up!" a light gray lioness cub with blue-gray eyes called as she walked through the Outlands.

"Calm down, Angani." a dark gold lioness cub with bright blue eyes answered. "I can only walk so fast."

"Well, it's gonna be dark soon and I don't feel like spending another night in this wasteland. We would probably die." Angani answered.

Mkali just rolled her eyes. She had known Angani long enough to get used to her depressing personality... and her anger problems. It was a mystery why these two liked each other. Unlike Angani, Mkali is almost always very upbeat and happy.

"It's okay." Mkali said. "I can see Pride Rock now."

Way out in the distance, Angani saw the landmark. "That's at least another hour!" she exclaimed.

"So?" Mkali said. "At least we're almost there. Besides, we'll at least get there before dark."

"Whatever." Angani said. "Let's just get there."


"Ow!" Sora said as he put a paw to his head.

"What's wrong?" Simba asked as he stood up from where he was lying and walked over to Sora.

"I tried seeing if I could control the time of day..." Sora said. "But I tried too hard and got a headache."

"Why do you want to do that?" Nala asked as she and Tora joined the two.

"I was just wondering if I could." Sora answered. "It would be awesome. Anyway, wasn't Kora here a few minutes ago?"

"He said he was going for a walk." Tora said. "He said he'd be back soon."

"Hopefully he won't get into any trouble." Simba said. "We seem to have that problem."

"He only went for a walk." Tora said. "How could he get into trouble?"


"Why does this stuff happen to me?" Kora asked himself as a gray lioness cub pinned him and held her claws to his throat.

"Quiet." the cub said to him. "Take us to who's in charge around here."

"Angani, calm down and take your claws away from his throat." Mkali told her.

"Not until he agrees to help us." Angani said.

"Fine!" Kora exclaimed. "I'll help just get your claws off my throat!"

Angani took her claws off Kora's throat and let him up.

"All you needed to do was ask politely." Kora told her.

Angani glared at him. "I don't do nice. Got it." she told him, poking his chest with a claw.

Kora nodded his head showing he understood her. He really didn't want to make her angry again. He really thought she would kill him if he did it again.

Kora began leading them back to the water hole, where his friends were, at least he would feel safer there with them.

Mkali walked up next to him. "Sorry about her." she said. "She can be a little... aggressive at times."

"It's alright." Kora answered. "Just as long as she doesn't kill me."

"She wouldn't do that." Mkali said. "Unless you make her really angry, then she might."

"Good to know." Kora said. "We're almost there."

"Good." Angani said from behind them. "Move faster."

"Yeesh... So pushy." Kora said to himself quietly.

"What was that!?" Angani yelled.

Kora looked at her nervously. "Uh... Nothing." he answered. "Oh, look, there's my friends."

"You said you'd take us to who's in charge." Angani said. "Not your little playmates."

"One of them is-"

"I don't care!" she interrupted. "Just take us to who we want to see!"

Simba and the others heard Angani's yelling and walked over to see what it was about.

"Hey!" Simba yelled as he walked over. "What's going on here? Why are you yelling?"

"We want to see your king." Angani said, still angry. "So, can one of you idiots take us there or not?"

"First of all, you need to calm down." Simba told her. "Second, he and the queen are taking care of something in another pride."

"Well, who's in charge then, you little pest." Angani spat.

"I am." he answered. "Well, not officially, but considering I'm the Prince, I'm the closest you're gonna get right now."

Angani became quiet. Now, she wished she hadn't been so harsh.

"Maybe I should do the talking." Mkali said, stepping in front of Angani. "Okay, look, we came here because we can't live in our pride anymore and we heard this was the best place to stay, so could we?"

"I'm not sure..." Simba said. "You seem nice, but her..."

"I can keep her under control." Mkali said. "Please... We have nowhere else to go."

"Hm... Fine." Simba answered. "You'll still need to talk to my parents when they get back. Oh, and who are you exactly?"

"I'm Mkali and this is my girlfriend, Angani."

"Girlfriend?" Kora said.

"Yeah!" Angani yelled. "Got a problem with it!?"

"Absolutely not." Kora said quickly. He kept his mouth shut after that. This girl seemed to get angry too easily.

"I'm going to take a look around this place." Angani said before walking away.

Mkali looked at the other cubs. "I'm going to go keep an eye on her." she said before following Angani.

"She seems cool." Nala said.

"Yeah, but the other one's scary." Tora said. "She's gonna hurt someone."

"I hope not." Simba said. "It'll kinda be my fault since I'm the one that let them stay."

"Trust me." Kora said. "If she is going to hurt someone, it won't take long. She has a very short fuse."

"I think I'll go help watch her, just in case." Simba said. "Anyone want to come help?"

"Why not." Tora said. "It could get interesting."

"I'll go too." Sora said. "I'm bored anyway."

Nala agreed to go too, but Kora didn't. He was scared of Angani and thought that she was going to kill him. Now, they just had to go find them. She couldn't cause trouble that fast... Or could she?


A/N: So, what do you think of Mkali and Angani? They're actually based off a couple of my friend's characters in some comics he does. Will Angani be able to control her temper, or will she just cause a bunch of trouble in the Pridelands? Find out in the next update. I hope to put it up sometime this week, but just in case I'm unable to: Happy Thanksgiving! :)
