A Lion Cub's Returning Past
Ch. 2
While on observation Kovu was in a round with his teenage mentor, Takami. Layla and young Kaila was were observing the training. The lion cub hoped that they sparring would take his mind off of his 'nightmare' while concentrating of his elemental training. He was doing pretty well, but seemed off his game. Takami noticed that Kovu wasn't himself today, so he announced that they should take a break.
With that said, Kovu flopped down on the ground panting. Takami walked over and kneel to Kovu's level and asked, "Training's over. Kovu, are you okay? Your not yourself today." Takami commented.
For a moment Kovu was silent, looking down at his crossed legs. Then he finally spoke, "I-I'm fine, really." Kovu said in a low tone. Takami didn't buy that at all. He knew there was something Kovu wasn't telling him, but decided not to meddle.
Takami sighed then said, "Okay. Your free to hang out here for a little while if you want." Kovu nodded and then got back on his feet, lowering his head. He then walked to the exit doors of the Training Room. Kaila watched as Kovu left the room. 'Kovu?'
Both Layla and Kaila approached Takami and Layla said, "Is Kovu okay?" with slight worry in her voice.
"He says he is, but, I think he keeping something to himself. Can you keep an eye on him?" He asked Takami as her. Layla agreed on doing so saying, "Yeah".
"Thanks, I gotta go into valley. I'll be back in half an hour." Takami stated exiting the room. Layla nodded and stated, "I'll be waiting hun." Kaila too decided that she must move along, and see Kovu another time. So, just like her older brother she headed out of the training room, down the almost endless stairs, and into valley.
Valley of Peace
Finally at the bottom of the endless steps, Kaila admirably gazed at the serene sighting of the valley roads of the populated village. She quick awe and was about scroll through, until she was stopped and picked up by the scruff of her neck and in the arms of another striped feline. She looked at the unexpected carrier and it was her older brother Takami, who was now carefully holding her up bridal style in his arms.
"Where do you think your going in such a hurry?" Takami inquired.
"Takami, let go." she said giggling, trying to get out of his hold.
Takami carefully set her down to her feet and placed his hands on his sides. "I just want you to be careful." He expressed. Kaila then saw a butterfly flouting about and tries to catch it in a middle of a pounce with her paws. While in the middle of her pounce Takami thoroughly placed his foot on her tail, canceling her pounce.
"Kaila, are you listening. This village maybe called the The Valley of Peace, but it's full of surprises and almost anybody can enter it. Accidents can happen and your still small. Even in your age you can easily be..." Takami tried but was interrupted by her.
"Hurt or stepped on or even could get lost, I know." She finished.
"That's right, and mom said that you need to be watched at..." Was interrupted again.
"At all times, I know. And if I see any strangers don't talk to them, find someone I actually know. Okay, Okay can I go now, please?" Kaila inquired revealed her white cub fangs with a pleading grin.
"Very funny." Takami said raising an eyebrow. In seconds Tamaki, the eldest of the two, suddenly appeared beside them.
"Mind your brother Short-stuff, He's just looking out for you. I also don't want you going through the outskirts, outside of the village by yourself." Tamaki said.
"Stop teasing her, but Tamaki's right. Kaila I don't want you walking out of the valley by yourself either. More bandits and gangs has been showing up lately, and I don't want you getting involved. Understand?" Takami said awaiting her answer.
"Oh Fine." Kaila answered crossing her arms. Both brother chuckled of her childish mumble arrogance. Takami then rubbed the top of her head then said, "Alright then, go on."
Kaila removed her arms then lite up a smile on her face and ran along. Soon both Skyler and Ryo were coming down and up to them. Takami got closer to them and quickly said, " Can you two put up with each other and keep an eye on my little sister?"
Ryo and Skyler turned towards each other with questionable eyes, almost like they were reading each others mind. With a nod they turned they're eyes back on they're feline friend.
"Yeah no problem. I'm in a good mood anyway." Skyler answered. 'That can change in a hurry, though' Ryo thought. 'Why do I had the need to punch Ryo in the face all of the sudden?' She pondered.
"Thanks you guys, I'm counting on you." Takami said moving on. "I'm off to see Chronos, see you two love birds later." Tamaki said parted ways as well.
"So, you think we can go through the whole day without fighting?" Ryo questioned.
"Nope, we're bound to fight sooner or later. Lets go sniffer." She demanded in joking tone at the end. 'When did I become wiped.' Ryo pondered rubbing his his head questionably. He shrugged his shoulders and placed his hands in his pockets and followed behind her.
