The Lion Pride AU

Alfred let out a short roar as he shook his large mane. Looking around, he blinked at the setting sun over the Savannah. Slowly, he made his way back to his pride. Earlier he had set out to charge another male that was sneaking around his pride's borders. After a small fight, the stranger left, making Alfred still the main lion in his pride. A scratch down his tail was the most serious injury that he received.

Jumping onto a hill, Alfred sent his gaze over the immediate area. A heard of Zebra were far off and three elephants were making their way to a watering hole not to far from his current location. The grass bent in the wind that moved his mane. The weather was nice and rain was not far away. Deciding to get moving again, Alfred padded off to where his lionesses and cubs had been staying the past few days.

The journey was extremely short. The lionesses chose a bush covered area to hide the young cubs. Once the new cubs were older, they would move to another site. The male shook his mane again. He hated running the older males and some females out but he had to maintain his standing as top cat in the pride. A tiny roar caught his attention. Alfred watched as two of his female cubs run up to his and butter their heads against his. A lioness appeared and ushered the cubs away. Alfred nodded his head to Katyusha. The poor lioness had to watch over seven cubs, but thankfully she had help by the other lionesses of the pride.

Walking through the underbrush, Alfred flicked his ears in greeting at the other lionesses, cubs, a one other lion. Lili, Elizaveta, Bella, Adonia, and Isabel flicked their ears back in greeting, too busy with the cubs to do much else. Sensing something or more like someone was missing, Alfred looked around. Arthur was missing from the group. Strange, the lion usually preferred to stick with the cubs. His wandering eyes found Arthur laying on a rock far from the pride.

Letting out a large yawn, Alfred set a brisk pace toward Arthur. The lion confused Alfred greatly. He had no mane and simply went along with the lionesses in the group. When Alfred was a cub, Arthur was treated like a female. However, that pride was long dead. A new lion took control, but Arthur managed to pick up Alfred and escape. At first it was only them, with Arthur protecting Alfred, but once Alfred grew up, it turned the other way around. Alfred attracted females to him and the duo turned into a pride. Arthur had never really challenged Alfred to become top cat, so Alfred let Arthur stay.

It was at that time, Alfred stopped in his tracts. His sense of smell was excellent, and it was telling him something very important. Arthur was in heat. Alfred knew that Arthur was male but the scent told him other wise. Instinct taking over, Alfred all but ran to Arthur, who growled at him. All female lionesses in heat were testy.

Alfred simply waited for Arthur to march off, which the smaller lion didn't. Running up behind the older, Alfred mounted Arthur. Said lion roared and turned around to claw him. Dodging and waiting, Alfred watched as Arthur did the same thing. This whole cycle would continue for three whole days, with little food or water in between mating. Watching Arthur walked behind a bush, Alfred followed him.

Kiku Honda sighed as he set down his binoculars. Even today, it was too hot for him. He was used to the cool climate of Japan. However, the International Zoo sent him here. Kiku wanted to work with breeding nagas, but the IZ decided it would be better for him to study lions. Jack, Kiku's mentor, was Australian and one of the main heads of the IZ. Under Jack's hawk eyes, Kiku had been given the assignment over the queer cases of Arthur and Yao.

Arthur and Yao were two lions that seemed to have the same genetic mutation. Though definitely male, both grew no mane. There personalities were female in nature. Both went hunting, took care of the cubs, and other lioness duties. Both went into a real enough heat to trick the main male in their group to mate with them.

Knowing that he should leave the two mating males alone, Kiku signaled for his driver to head back to base. Once there, he could study those blood samples he took from a tranquilized Arthur about a month ago. The Japanese male was close to figuring out were the mutation was and he was not going to give up. Perhaps once he does, the International Zoo would let him begin to breed nagas! With determination, Kiku Honda looked to the bush Arthur and Alfred were behind. "I will become a naga breeder."

CC101- Hey! That's my latest chapter! This was an idea that I posted on tumblr than expanded on. However, I couldn't find it so I simply rewrote it.

Remember to send me reviews with your nekotalia headcannons and I could write a story based on it!
