I Have Tottaly Been Neglecting This And I'm So Sorry.
Sora lay half-dead in the blistering heat of the dessert. The vultures had been circling him for a few hours and now they were starting to descend on the helpless cub. Sora was consious but he was far to weak to do any thing about it. Out of his blurry eyes, he could see what looked like a warthog with two merkats coming towards him.
"YEE-HA"One of the merkats shouted as it jumped of the warthog. "Get outta here" The merkat that Sora could vaguely see had dirty blond hair was was kind of spiked up. The warthog seemed to have a patch of black hair and it trotted forward. Sora could now see the other meerkat which was a girl. She had long brown hair as she walked up to the other meerkat.
"Bowling for vultures. You have to love it" The warthog had a rather small and rather sweet voice. For a warthog that is.
"Gets them all the time. I have to admit this is good fun, wouldn't you agree Olette" The taller meerkat looked at the one that was apprently named Olette. She didn't look to happy at all, at least that was what Sora thought he saw. The heat came make your senses do funny things. Suddeny he felt something coming towards him from the side and he realized he couldn't see the warthog.
"Ummm, Hayner, Olette. You better come over here. This thing is still alive, see its breathing" The warthog looked down at the body in front of him. Sora closed his eyes fully over and he felt the warthog looking over him.
"What!. The vultures were around it and everything, how can it still be alive" That must have been Olette. The femmine voice drifted through Sora's ears and it seemed slighty worried.
"Okay, okay. Let's see what this is anyways and then we can go back. Honestly I can't take this heat much longer" Sora couldn't help but twitch lightly as he felt the meerkat known as Hayner kciking him slightly. Not that it was sore. Meerkats only had little feet. Suddenly Sora heard a gasp and the small feet backing away from him.
"It's a lion"Hayner must have been running away but he didn't here the running part and lion's have very good hearing.
"C'mon Pence, Move" Sora could hear the distress in the voice of the meerkat.
"Aw but Hayner, look at him. He's cute and he's all alone and almost dead. Can we keep him" Pence, the warthog seemed to whine at the meerkat who ovbiously just wanted to leave.
"Pence, its a lion. You do know that lions eat guys like us. When he wakes up we'll be his next meal" Olette sounded more and more worried as each word passed from her mouth.
"But he's so little" Pence didn't seemed to be listening to any of the meerkats as he protested about keep Sora.
"He's gonna get biggar" Hayner groaned loudly.
"What if he growns up and he's on our side" Sora could pratically hear the grin that Pence was pulling to Hayner and Olette. Another groan came from botth meerkats that sounded almost like a whine by the time it reached Sora's ears.
"That is the most stupid idea you have ever put forth, Pence" Olette groaned loudly and Sora could hear her small feet padding into the ground.
"I've got it" Hayner shouted out rather loudly for someone of his size "What if he's on our side. You know having a lion around might not be such a bad idea. He'll like protect us" Hayner seemed overly pleased with that idea. Olette however, did not.
"Are you and idiot Hayner ?" Olette sounded far from amused.
"So we're keeping him ?" Pence sounded a little over excited about that idea.
"Come on, sis. Lighten up. Yes Pence, we are keeping him." Hayner said loudly "After all, who's the brains in this outfit?" By the sound of everything, Sora would have said Olette.
"That would be me" Olette smiled happily while she still looked down at the lion.
"No its me. Now lets go" Sora felt his body getting lifted and he also heard a huff from Olette.
XXXXXX
Pence placed Sora on the ground and Hayner and Olette tried to wake him after he fell asleep as Pence carried him to the oasis. After about fiffteen minutes, the small brunette cub began to wake up but Olettle was still rather scared of him. After all Sora was a lion.
"Hey, are you okay" Hayner leaned down to look Sora in the eyes. Sora finally got a proper view of everyone around him and the three creatures who had helped him.
"I guess so" Sora whined softly and he looked around. He seemed to been in a kind of jungle place, it seemed really peaceful and beautiful. Sora thought that he could his life here, it was very beautiful. He then took a proper look at Hayner, Pence and Olette. The two meerkats were both small, which was ovbious since they were meerkats. The tall of the two, Hayner looked like the kind of guy that gave orders to everyone. Olette looked really adoreable and sweet and was apprently Hayner's sister. The warthog, Pence just looked rather stupid but he seemed nice enough.
"You were almost killed out there. Any longer and you would have been" Olette seemed to warm up to Sora as she came beside her brother and looked at him.
"We saved you" Hayner pointed between himsef and Olette but he soon heard a loud noise as if it was sonone clearing their throat. It was Pence "Yeah well, Pence helped" Hayner nodded his head back towards Pence.
"Yeah well thanks for your help" Sora got to his feet and started to walk off as everything came flooding back to him. The stampeade, his father's death, his uncle teling him to leave and never return and the ast thing that came to his mind was Cloud and Riku. What was going to happened to his 'other' father and his best friend.
"Hey, Where are you going?" Olette shouted over to Sora as he continued to pad slowly away.
"Nowhere" Sora turned around slightly and he looked so depressed, it broke Olette's heart. She had orginally been again bringing the cub back but now she couldn't help but feel sorry from him.
"He looks blue" Hayner mumbled under his breath but Pence seemed to hear him perfectly.
"I'd say he was brown" Pence looked on as Olette ran over to Sora but Hayner just stayed and beside Pence.
"No, no, no, no. I mean he's DEPRESSED" Hayner groaned before he followed his sister out to go and see Sora. Pence soon followed after.
"What's up" Olette asked Sora as she placed a hand over Sora's rather soft fur.
"I done something terrible. But I don't want to talk about it." Sora began to cry and Olette's heart seemed to break a little more. She wrapped her small arms around Sora's paw. Hayner and Pence watched as the brunette just cried and cried and cried.
"Look come back with us we can help" Hayner looked at Sora and pushed his head back towards the oasis. Olette left Sora and started to walk and soon the small cub followed.
"'You go to put you past behind you bad things happen, and you can't do anything about it" Hayner said once they got back to the oasis. Sora was slumped against a tree watched everything around him.
"Right?!" Sora said
" Repeat after me" Hayner cleared his throat loudly "Hakuna Matata" Pence grinned happily. Olette sighed loudly as she knew where this was going. Sometimes she wishes she could just go home but she had to promise her mother that she would look after her wayward older brother.
"Huh"Sora was very confused by Hayner's words. Olette stood beside her brother and looked at the older meerkat before she sighed and shook her little head before he turned to look at Pence who jut bowed down lightly before standing up to his full height and looking at Sora.
"Hakuna Matata. It means no worries!" Pence smiled and grinned while Olettle stood and look at Sora. She seemed to be examing him in some shape or form before she smiled sweetly at him. Maybe Sora could trust in Hayner. Pence and Olette looked at Sora and thought that maybe they could help him forget his tragic past.
