Chapter 4:

Timidly, I followed Simba's form as he walked towards the huge looming rock that I had seen from across the river earlier. As we walked, I recalled what I had read about male lions and I sighed inwardly at the thoughts in my head. He didn't seem like the, "you obey my command lioness," type to me; but I sighed again, you could never tell about men, I mean males that are lions.

"Why did Rafiki have to send me here?"

"What?"

'Oh crap, was that out loud?'

"I just meant that I really don't know what I'm doing here."

"Well, we're here," Simba said as I raised my head and spied a group of about twenty to thirty lionesses.

'Man, and my dad complained about being the only guy in the house of my mom and me.'

I thought and chuckled as Simba motioned for me to sit down in the middle of the circle that all of them had created.

"Hi I'm Kiara, and this is my mate Kovu," a young golden lioness that was closest to me introduced herself.

'So Simba does get some relief.'

I mused to myself as I nodded, "I'm Sakari."

"Kiara," Simba's harsh tone pierced the air, "we don't go introducing ourselves to animals we don't know."

"Sorry," I whispered as Simba walked towards me.

"Sakari, would you mind answering a few questions?"

"Ummm, no, not at all your highness."

My voice didn't sound like my own; so I just sat there, and waited for whatever he was going to ask me.

"Where are you from?"

"Miami Florida."

I said to myself, but I knew he wouldn't believe that. So I said the only thing that came to mind.

"A place really far from here."

"Where?"

"Ummm," I was stuck.

"A place called, Mi Miami?"

I heard Kiara whisper to me, I looked in her direction and it was like I could read in her eyes.

'If you think he's giving up on this; you're wrong.'

"Miami," I said slowly.

"Where's that?"

"Ummm, it's a pride, a very big pride, it's called the Miami pride."

'Hey, what was I going to say?'

"Where's Miami?"

I sighed, this was going to be a lot harder than I thought…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It took about five to ten minutes to explain about, "The Miami Pride." Since I knew that geographically, they wouldn't understand, I had basically said that the weather in the land was very bad, and we had high winds and lots of rain. This, I told them was why I left Miami, it got flooded a lot. I was stuck, I was clinging to a life line. What made this worse, was I couldn't stop looking at Simba; there was something about him, but I didn't know what exactly it could be. Anyways, that lioness that was sitting to his right, and that was leaning on him, I got the feeling that they were together.

"Well," Simba began, "you are welcomed to stay in our pride as long as you like. I am Simba, I'm the king of these lands; and this is my mate, my queen Nala."

'Bingo.'

I stood up and bowed, it most likely looked like a stupid bow, because I noticed that Simba gave me an odd look.

"In my pride we never bowed," I stated.

"Oh no, it's not that, it's just," he stopped, "never mind."

I could live with that, believe me.

"This is my daughter Kiara, and her mate Kovu; that's Nala, the blue bird is Zazu, and the meerkat and warthog are Timon and Pumbaa. You don't eat those two, I mean it."

"No problem," I stated, "I'm a vegetarian."

"What are you?"

"I don't eat meat."

'Ding Ding Ding, back up Sakari, these are lions, carnivorous animals.' Yeah, judging from Simba's look, he probably thinks I'm crazy.

"You eat bugs then?"

"Ewww no, not bugs, I eat grassssssssss."

I hissed the ending of the word Grass as I looked around Simba's lands. There was grass, but judging on how it looked, I didn't think it would taste very good.

"I could try meat, bugs, ants; I'm not that picky really, you know life is an experience and I wake up and embrace it and…"

"Sakari," Simba said, "calm down, whatever you eat, I, well I hope we have it."

"Sorry, in Miami we just walked around eating," then I laughed as that sounded funny to me.

"Well, Nala and many of the females are going hunting, how about you go with them?"

I sat down, I tried to remember how I had seen lionesses hunt on The Discovery Channel. Failing, I pinned my ears against my head.

"I, I don't know how to hunt," I said as I sighed, what use would I be to them? I'd just be another mouth to feed.

"But I'm willing to learn."

Simba turned his head, so I couldn't read his expression; then I saw Kovu walk up.

"If I may say something Simba, I don't think it would be a good idea for her to go on the hunts until she can learn how to hunt."

"Exactly, that's why you're going to teach her."

"What?!"

Kovu almost shouted at this; and to be frank, he beat me in questioning Simba. This lion hadn't said one word to me, and judging from his reaction….

"He taught me, you'll have fun!"

Kiara's cheerful voice flowed in my ears;

"Then it's settled, Kovu you can start teaching Sakari tomorrow morning."

"Ok," I said, not knowing what else to say at this point.

"Great," Kovu said, his tone was flat; and I didn't want to start anything so I just walked away and lay down.

'Why a lioness, why not a bird or something?'

I thought to myself, tomorrow be going to be a very long day…
