What will shenzi say? Find out in this chapter!
Shenzi was extremely puzzled.
Why would Banzai suddenly say that, after all of these years?
But no matter how much she tried to shake it off, she felt the same way.
But now was not a time for thinking, it was a time for concentration.
"Are 'ya ready Shenz'? This buffalo looks like a tough lil' 'un." whispered Maritza in her foreign accent. (She was an African wild dog, but fell asleep on a human truck, and ended up in the outlands with her mate, Fisadi.)
"Ready as ever" Shenzi replied, although her heart wasn't in the hunt today.
Later that night…
Shenzi and banzai were alone in the den together, as Ed had gone out to visit his 'Girlfriend' as Maritzia called her, a young female called Azulari.
As they ate the remnants of the Buffalo, Shenzi felt a strange choking feeling. Every few seconds, one of them would gaze at the other until they looked up, the would quickly look the other way.
Shenzi was looking at banzai at that particular point in time, then he raised his head and met her gaze. This time, neither of them looked away.
Then they both found themselves moving slowly closer together, still watching each other each other as if in a dream. When they were just a whisker-width away, Shenzi whispered to him:
"Before, I didn't know how to feel but now… I do." she said and nuzzled his neck with her head. He licked her shoulder in a friendly manner, and then they both were surprised when Ed walked in… With Maritzia in tow. Shenzi jumped sideways in surprise, and ended up half knocking herself out on the wall.
"Maritziaaaa… Hi… we were just.. Um… Talking about… ZEBRAS! Yeah! That was it! Weren't we banzai?" She squeaked, totally hoping he got her message.
"Um, soz to burst 'ya bubble Hun' but I did just see al 'a dat 'ya know. I isn't dumb enough to believe dat one babz." Maritzia stared at shenzi, annoyed that she had attempted to lie."
" Ok, Ok, Fine. I admit it. We were NOT talking about zebras. But please don't say about it to Fisadi. It'll only give him an excuse to subject himself to being ragged." Shenzi Confessed, then started laughing her heart (this was her way of expressing embarrassment).
Then Banzai just turned scarlet and fled the cave…
About 10 hours later…
"I can't find banzai anywhere!" Shenzi wailed, searching under every rock, in every skull.
She heard movement in a skull.
"banzai?" She asked it hopefully, But the desert rat just ran off.
"I just hope he's ok…" she muttered then allowed herself to cry a little. It was the dead of night, and she and Ed were the only people awake.
They continued their search, Desperately hoping Banzai wa.s alive…
