Okay, thanks for the reviews, I read them! Now, just to talk about them:

RusherWolf: That's a great idea! His description would fit Tojo well and.. perhaps I could make Mana and This rouge Tojo's parents. Thanks for the idea and reviewing!


Chapter 6: "One again."


"On with the story!" Mana egged the male on, but he took his time. She sat down, she was not going to take him home unless he told the story.

"Well," he began, "I left here many years ago - at the age of adolescent (My age now). My father was King Mohatu and I was brother Ahadi. When my father chose Ahadi as King, I said I didn't need to become king and I kind of got frustrated. I left the Pride Lands, not by exile but because I wanted to Prove I could become king,"

"So... you're the brother Ahadi has been talking about?" gasped Mana. "So.. you're... Mufasa? Ahadi said he had a brother named that..."

The male chuckled. "No, darling. Between me and Ahadi, our mother - Queen Laini - had another son named Mufasa.. he didn't make it though." the male lowered his head - remembering his past was hard for him, the way he yelled at his father and mother.

"I'm so sorry..." Mana found herself placing her paw on the male's, feeling some sympathy for him. "And, what is your name?"

The male looked up, smiling at Mana. "My name is Kweli. Now, I've told you my past, can you take me home? I'm starving."

Mana chuckled and patted Kweli playfully on the stomach. "Race you."

The two young lions raced their way there, galloping as fast as they could and glaring at each other on occasion.


The rain was still falling. On occasion, a thick yellow electric thing would strike the ground. Lightning. Then, a loud noise would follow through the purple skies, then followed by a ton of rain. It rained harder than ever and it seemed to be never-ending.

Ishi cradled her four cubs in her arms, admiring them whilst leaning in Moto - who sat by her side and also admiring their cubs.

Uru sat across from them with Ahadi and Mufasa also in her arms, wimping his fear from the rain.

"I can't wait until Sarabi and Mufasa get married..." sighed Ishi, beaming brightly.

"And until they become King and Queen." said Ahadi. "Sarabi will make a fine queen that'll rule by my son."

Maisha entered the den with a few other lionesses. All they wanted to do was take the warmth of the cave and sleep.

"You're lucky you have cubs," said Maisha, smiling at each of the cubs faces. She turned back and saw Fetaya and Sheri agruing about cubs. She rolled her eyes playfully and chuckled. "Have any of you seen Kuta?"

"I don't know. Strange really..." Ishi commented, whilst feeding each of her cubs. Her cubs would fight over the nipples, who'd get the most milk.

Mufasa had grown big and strong and would make a fine queen.

"I think she went to visit her husband, near the River Pride." suggested Uru. They all sat in silence until two teenagers bolted from the outside rain, drenched and soaked and bringing in coldness.

"Who's this.. this impostor?!" roared Ahadi at Mana, baring his teeth and claws.

"He's.. he's your brother, King Ahadi..." her words sounded broken and she sounded scared - how would the king react?

Ahadi closed his mouth and his claws slowly drifted in as his green eyes widened. "B..Brother?" he shuddered. Everyone else seemed shocked at Mana's statement.

"Yes.. It's me, Kweli." repeated Kweli, admiring at how much his older brother had grown.

"Kweli!" Ahadi ran up to his younger brother, embracing him then tackling him to the ground. Uru began crying; she had never seen anything so beautiful.

"So you're the king, now?" teased Kweli.

"Well, if you put it that way..."

"So, aren't you gonna introduce me to your queen? Where is she?" Kweli interrupted.

"Right here." Uru stepped forward, staring deeply into her brother-in-law's eyes. Mufasa stayed hanging from her jaw, oblivious to what was happening.

The rain thundered outside, whilst everyone stayed still, trying to figure out the back story of Ahadi.

"Kweli? It's you..." a graceful-looking lioness stepped forward, looking deeply into his eyes and smiling. Her fur was very creamy, almost a pale white. Her eyes were a light green and her nose was a dark brown. She was very beautiful; not to mention she was attractive. Kweli could easily fall for her if he wanted but he didn't.

"Who are y-" he suddenly realized who it was and pouted around her with joy. "Uzuri!" he called out. Uzuri was about the same age as Mana- younger than Kweli.

Mana felt jealousy rise inside her and darted outside. The lightning struck and thundered...

Ishi heard Sarabi cry and she comforted her - as well as her other daughters.


Mana saw two lions, wander about.

"Why are there so many rouges?" she asked herself before taking a step forward. "I've had enough with rouges, I'm not going to take this anymore."

The young teen galloped forward, then baring her teeth and claws. "Back off. This territorial land is already taken." she growled. "Leave now."

The two males laughed and cackled. "You expect us to listen to you?" giggled one.

"We're fully grown and taking you down will be easy." said another and he moved forward, swiping Mana on the muzzle.

She fell to the ground, energy wasted and hurt. Mana roared out in agony- a simple cry for help. She struggled to get up, but when she did, she tackled one of the rouges to the ground, whipping him on the face.

The other grabbed her by the nape of her neck and swung her to the ground.

"Well, looks like we'll end another life.." they cackled and moved over to Mana, preparing for the final strike...


Chapter 6! In the next chapter, we will be surprised when that 'unexpected cub' comes along.

What will happen to Mana? Will she be saved? By who?

Thanks for reading! Please, review!

Characters

Kweli - "Sincere" - Kweli is Ahadi's younger brother that fled from the Pride Lands many years ago. He is Tojo's father and is sometimes a bit arrogant. He's very brave and over protective of his love *Not gonna give that away! :D ;)* and sensitive with his past.

Uzuri - "Beauty" - Uzuri had always had a crush on Kweli. She is graceful and beautiful - as well as attractive. She is almost a pale white, has green eyes and a brown nose. She is a bit of a show off and is often quite rude to Mana - for what reason? :3
