One month later ok?

Banzai, Where are you?

Shenzi thought to herself, Wishing she had any chance of ever finding her lost mate.

Why did you leave me Banzai? When I am so close to having these pups too…

She sobbed into her paws, not attempting to stop herself.

Even though she was Matriarch, when she was away from the pack, It was ok to cry.

Then suddenly, Inspiration washed over her.

He went looking for waterbuck… and waterbuck live in the Pridelands.. NO! Simba must have him! Im coming Banzai!

With that, the female hyena ran off in the general direction of pride rock..

On Pride Rock..

Banzai lay in agony in the Skeleton Cage that he was trapped inside.

His stomach growled in hunger, but he would never let them get to shenzi. Not even if it mean him Starving to death.

Kiara was kind enough to give him a small bit of meat whenever her father wasn't watching him, but even she had said that he wouldn't survive much longer In there.

Suddenly Zazu flew into the doorway towards Simba.

"Sire, Shenzi is in the pridelands. Nala is Hurt!"

"and there was me thinking she would be smarter than to drag herself to her death."

"NO!" Banzai yelled from his cage.

"I wont Let you hurt Her!"

"Oh yeah what exactly are you gonna do about it? Nothing? Just as I thought."

Banzai smashed himself hard against his solid prison in desperation.

At the same point Anatine came flying in.

"Shenzi says Give her mate back NOW or she is going to have to kill Shani and Chaka."

"what? The cubs! No! She wont DARE!"

"Oh, she will. She's fuming. Oh, By the way, Im sorry to say, But I just fooled you! He just escaped and got out of the pridelands while I bugged ya. Haha. Goodbye Losers!"

Simba spun round only to find Banzai's cage empty.

"NO! Hes gone!"

"Sire, I did a patrol, all the hyenas are gone… Wheres the male?"

"He escaped."

"Oh look its Shani and chaka…"

Back in the outlands…

"Shenzi! Am I glad to see you!"

"Banzai! Oh my god.. Look at you…what did they do to you?" shenzi yelped, looking at her mates matted fur and his clearly visible ribs.

" they tried to starve me. Kiara fed me, along with Vitani, and they kept me alive."

"Oh banzai…"Shenzi shoved her cheek against his neck.

Suddenly she screamed in pain.

"Huh? Shenzi? Whats wrong? Are you OK? Whats happening?"

"IM HAVING THE PUPS THAT'S WHAT!"

She yelled at him.

"Oh my god omigod.. Breathe… wait there.. Il get someone!"

Please let her pups be ok….

Please let him be fast..

Then she screamed again…
