Chapter 7: Love or Lust?
Kita sighed as she taught Miku and Chloe what she called the 'water walk.' They were having trouble, Miku especially. "No, you're putting your foot down with to much force." She said. Miku sighed. "Try sliding your foot into the water as though you," she paused, trying to come up with something. She couldn't'. "Oh just try sliding it into the water and see what happens." Miku sighed and did as he was asked. It didn't work; he slipped and fell face first into the water. Kita and Chloe laughed. Miku got up and shook himself, spraying both of them with water.
"Hey!" Kita complained, remembering a time he had done this before. She laughed. "Come on, let's try something different." She said. Miku shook again once he was out. He followed the other two lionesses. Kita walked over to a fruit tree and grabbed one. She then walked back to where Miku and Chloe waited. She dropped the fruit a few feet away from them. "This will pose as your prey." She aimed the explanation at Chloe. "We're going to practice with your focus problem you told me about earlier ok?" she said. Chloe nodded.
"Now, Miku and I will be other members of the herd." Kita explained. Miku gave her a look. Kita ignored him. Chloe crouched down into position. Miku and Kita got closer to the fruit. Kita eyed Chloe, waiting. She smiled and then motioned for Miku to step forward. He hesitated. Kita glared at him. Miku rolled his eyes.
Just as he stepped forward, Chloe pounced. Kita watched as they tumbled. Miku caught only glances at Chloe's sandy fur before he had to close his eyes so he didn't get dirt in them. Finally they came to a stop, with Miku on top of Chloe. His heart raced. He had never been this close to her before. Chloe smiled, which made Miku's stomach flutter. "That was fun." She said. Miku forced a smile. Again Chloe smiled. "What's the matter?" she asked. "Meerkat got your tongue?" Miku had to laugh. "No," He said. "You do," he paused; sorry he'd said it. Chloe smiled. "Don't be so afraid, I don't bite." She leaned up and kissed him. Miku just stared at her.
She smiled and pushed him gently off. He helped her up and then smiled. Chloe smiled back. Together they walked back to Kita, shoulder to shoulder, smiling and fluttering their eyes at each other. Kita smiled when she saw them. "I think it's time for a new hunting game." Chloe said. Miku questioned her with his eyes. Chloe smiled. "Tag!" she said, tagging him with her paw, "You're it!" she yelled, running off. Miku smiled, and let her get a head start before chasing after her. Kita watched as they let each other get close enough to tag and then Chloe would run off again, Miku letting her get far ahead before closing in on her.
Kita bit her lip. Watching them made her think of Tiaru. She missed him dearly. She sighed and knew that the time was nearing. She needed to go back. But first she had to tell Kiara that she was right, Miku had made the right decision.
