Hiya! On with another post, I am on a roll.
There will be some fluff, since I can write it if I feel like it, or when I have ideas for them. Personally, I like George and Alanna, I think they make the perfect couple.
Enough talk. Now, story.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Kalita and Rajani; the other characters belong to the great Tamora Pierce.

The Tiger Lady
Chapter 5
Kalita climbed into bed, seeing nothing else to do. She sort of liked the little tour George gave her. But it gave her something to do instead of being inside the room, sleeping. She hasn't sleep in a long time; maybe it's been months, she isn't sure. She lost track of time years ago, she no longer cares for anything. She no longer stops to smell the roses, to her, roses are dead. She also lost her happiness, so she takes it out on anyone who tries to bother her.
She still gripped the book Daine gave to her and opened it. Moving through the pages, she noticed all the different breeds of tigers. There are small ones, large ones, pretty one's, muscular one's, their all so majestic and magical.
Rajani jumped in the bed and laid his large body next to hers, pressing against her protectively. Kalita looked at him and smiled. "Rajani, dear, what's your breed? Lets see," she said as she looked through the pages.
After moments of looking and comparing Rajani to the tigers in the book, she comes to a conclusion. "Rajani, you are the Bengal tiger. Oh, Rajani, that's wonderful!" Kalita smiled and put the book down on the bedside table, and then she buried her face and hands in Rajani's fur, falling asleep. Rajani purred deeply and he too sleeps.
((Yes, tigers can purr, but only when they breath out. Not like house cats, who can purr while breathing in and out. Looky there, you learned something!))

"George!" Alanna called to the man as he went around the corner. She hoped she'll reach him. Sure enough, she caught her husband.
"Yes?" George asked, turning around.
"Did you meet our new guest, Kalita?"
"Yes, I did, actually."
"Well?"
George smiled while thinking. "Well, she seems nice in a moody kind of way. But I think, we can get her to relax and trust us."
"Well, if you say so."
"Of course I say so. I am George, after all." He replied with a grin.
Alanna giggled and gave him a hug. "You're amazing."
"I know," He returned her hug, and then pushed her toward their rooms. "You need sleep, my love."
"Alright," Alanna let him push her all the way to their rooms.

"Daine?" Numair said, sitting up in bed.
"Yes?" Daine yawned.
"What do you mean, you feel connected to Kalita?"
"Oh, I mean like magically there's something about her that is connected to me."
Numair thought a bit, wondering. What does this mean, magically connected? He'll have to test the young girl in the morning. "Thanks, sweet. Goodnight."
Daine didn't reply, she was already asleep. Numair sighed and kissed her neck gently, then slept himself.

Rajani woke up suddenly and jumped off the bed. He hates indoors, they make him feel stuffy and uneasy. Tigers aren't meant to be indoors, they need outside, in the forest, with things to hunt and climb. He paced around the room, his tail flicking back and forth. He loves his mistress, and he will watch over her till the day he dies, even after that. A low growl escaped his throat and softly echoed though the room. His soft pads on his feet tap lightly and soundlessly against the wooden floor. His muscles ripple underneath his perfect coat. He walked to the window and rised on his hind legs, resting his front feet on the window. He looked out, looking at the moon, it's a perfect night. Too bad his mistress won't enjoy it like she used to, he never has seen her enjoy anything, and for all he knew; the girl was like this before he met her.
A sudden movement behind the bushes got Rajani's attention. His eyes narrow as he watched the bushes closely, his tail twitching; he's ready to attack if needed. He growled and bared his teeth. He froze as he saw what came from behind the bushes. Could it be? Is it her?
Rajani pushed away from the window, and jumped on the bed. He licked and nudges Kalita till she awoke.
"What is it, Rajani?" Kalita asked irritably. The tiger pulled on her clothes, wanting her to follow him to the window. Kalita sighed and went to the window. She gasped. "Rajani, is it, her?" Rajani growled and ram to the door. Kalita followed and opened it and as soon as it is opened, a flash of orange and stripes ran past her. She ran close behind the tiger as he runs, but she can't catch up.
Rajani stopped and looked behind him at Kalita. He ran back to her and ran around her, waiting for her to catch her breath. As soon as her breath is caught, the tiger took off again, slower this time.
They keep on running till their outside and they both stop as they look at the bush that is just outside their window. Sitting by the bush is a female tiger and her cub. Rajani ran excitedly over to the tigress and rubs against her.
Kalita smiled at her tiger's eagerness, she knew who that is. "Jasmine! It's so good to see you! And little Orion. Rajani missed you both. Orion, you remember your father?"
The female tiger pinned her ears back at the sight of Kalita, that human took her beloved Rajani away. She rubbed her head against him and purred, while the cub, Orion jumps all over his father. Clearly they missed the ol' tiger.
Kalita smiled as tears fall down her cheeks. At least her tiger has family. She's proud of him and happy for him too.
