King of Beasts

One week later. . .

Nile had his arms crossed, "Kyoya, I can't deal with you anymore."

"Uhh..what are you saying?" Kyoya felt hurt.

"I'm breaking up with you." Nile ran a hand through his orange bangs, "Why should I be your mate if you can't give me the lion cubs I want?"

"You mean..you only dated me because of my lion breed?" Kyoya's sadness turned into rage.

Nile only sighed, "Truth hurts.."

"You little-!"

"Get out of my home!" Nile pushed the lion teen out of his hut and slammed the door.

"Nile, you bastard! How can you be so cruel?! You know I love you!" he banged hard on the door, "Hey, answer me!"

No response.

Angry tears slid down his scarred cheeks. Kyoya slid down the rope ladder and walked far away from the hut.

'If you want me to leave, then fine, I'll leave.'

. . .

The lion teen had wandered into a small habitat in the forest.

"Hmm.." he read the sign, "Koma Village huh?"

He walked around the village and saw little kids running and laughing.

There were markets, bigger homes, mates holding hands, and happiness in the air.

"At least this place is better than Nile's hut." He thought out loud.

Suddenly the lion teen spotted a group of people, men, women, part sheep, bull, bird, dog, neko, etc.

'What's going on?' he wondered.

Way up ahead of the crowd was the King of the Forest, Lion Ryo Hagane, announcing big news.

"My fellow beasts of the forest, I'm sure you are all aware of mating season coming up in a few months."

Members of the crowd murmured in agreement.

"Good, then I'll say it. Under tragic circumstances my son is in need of a new mate!" he held his son in the air.

Kyoya's P.O.V.

What?! It's that kitten from earlier!

The red kitten was held in the air by King Ryo. It looked down at the crowd with blank golden eyes.

"Which one of you would like to mate with him?" Ryo offered.

"Pfft, no way"

"Who'd want that little runt?"

The King ignored the rude people, "C'mon now, don't be shy. Who'd like to mate with the prince?"

How come these people dislike that cat so badly?

"Fine, if no one will volunteer, I'll let my son choose on his own." He put down the kitten and t stared off into the crowd.

A few people left while others tried to hide. Suddenly my heart began to race, that kitten was staring directly into my eyes.

My legs moved on their own; before I knew it, I was standing in front of the king of the forest.

The kitten hopped onto his father's shoulder and whispered something into his ear. Can that cat talk or something?

"I see..very well then." Ryo announced loudly, "My son has chosen this lion teen before me, Kyoya Tategami, as his mate."

My jaw nearly dropped, "WHAT?!" And how'd that kitten even know my full name?!

"He told me you saved him about a week ago, in the forest." The king explained.

Oh shit..why'd I get involved?

"You're definitely suited to be his mate." Ryo grinned, "Make sure you two give me a lot of grandchildren, ahahahaa!"

I sweatdropped and he handed me the kitten. It's fur was soft and it was so small. The kitten licked my lips and I blushed.

All of a sudden I was being escorted into Ryo's royal palace.

It was a huge mansion in a tree, but the inside was so fancy.

Ryo grabbed my hand, "Come now, let me take you to my son's room."

"But I don't want-!"

"Here we are!"

The man pushed me into the bedroom. There was a huge bed, an overflowing closet with clothes, a balcony, and a bathroom.

"This is my son's room, and now it's yours too." Ryo welcomed.

"Wow.." I couldn't help but walk around in it, "Wait a minute, I never agreed to be your son's mate!"

"Do you even know the prince's name?" Ryo pointed to the red kitten in my hands, "His name is Ginga Hagane."

"Ginga huh" I looked down at him and he looked back up at me.

"Well I'll leave you two alone." The king left out the door, "Bye-bye~!"

I sighed loudly. One minute I get dumped by my lover and now I'm forced to be mates with this..kitten.

Ginga yawned in my hands.

He's so small and cute, I can't stay mad at him. "Guess it's bed time for you, little guy."

I let him in the bed with me. The kitten curled up next to me.

"So, you're my mate from now on?"

He purred in his sleep, "Zzz.."

"Hn, yeah right.." I rolled my eyes and turned off the lights, "I'm getting out of here first thing in the morning."

To be Continued. . .

Darn, I wanted to do 3 chapters to start it off. But I have school..oh well. What do you guys think of it so far? It's only the beginning, give it some time.
