~The Fight~

Ahadi struck her with a powerful blow that knocked her aside, almost falling off the side of the Rock. He turned away. She wasn't going to let him away that easily. She jumped to her feet and pounced on top of him with an angry roar. Her claws dug into his shoulders. She put all her weight into the jump and knocked him down.

He recovered quickly, fresh with another attack. He grabbed her ear and shook his head, making her head shake with him. He succeeded in tearing a small bit of her ear off; it bled uncontrolably. It hurt like the dickens, but that didn't matter now. All that mattered was staying alive and getting back at Ahadi.

She struggled wildly, trying to claw his eyes out. He had the advantage, being on top of her, and being so heavy, heavy enough to hold her down. He kept biting her, clawing her.This happened for quite awhile. Uru had a sudden idea. Sure, he was on top of her, but she could get him off so she could have the advantage.

She pulled her hind legs up slowly, until her paws were in his armpits. She pulled her hindquarters down as hard as she could, the pushed with all her might.

It worked better than she expected. Ahadi was surprised by this sudden attack, and he flew off easily. He skidded off the end of Pride Rock, catching the edge just in time. He hung there, suspended over the green, green African grass.

The red-brown lioness took her time approaching him. She stared at him, eyes filled with contempt; he looked so pitiful hanging there. The setting sun was red; it meant a kill would happen tonight, it may be prey, but it could mean lion-flesh.

Uru smiled wickedly. "So, Ahadi. What do you think of Taka being betrothed to Sarafina now?"

"Never!" he spat. He wasn't going to let his no-good son marry a beautiful lioness. Besides, he could get himself up, without Uru.

"Then get used to that position. You'll be in it awhile. Unless you want me to kick you off, that is. Becuase my son is marrying Sarafina, wheter you like it or not. Do you want to fall now?" she questioned, moving closer to him.

"No! Leave me be; I can get up myself." he said, scrambling to get up.

"Whatever, I have to go clean my cuts, get up yourself." she bounded off towards the watering hole.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mwinda finally caught sight of Pride Rock, and a very strange sight along with it. Queen Uru was walking away from Pride Rock, towards the watering hole, blood running down the side of her face from her ear, and blood running from cuts all over her body. King Ahadi was hanging from the edge of Pride Rock, also bloody. Mwinda saw the danger and rushed over to the top of Pride Rock.

"King Ahadi! What happened?" she questioned.

"I'll tell you, once you get me up!" he cried, scrambling to keep his hold.

Mwinda extended her paw to him. "Here, grab my paw!"

He didn't need to be told. He grabbed her paw. She hoisted him up, where he landed with a thud on the rock.

"Thank you..." he gasped.

"Who did this to you?" Mwinda demanded, looking over to the watering hole, where Uru was washing her body. Ahadi saw what she was looking at and nodded.

"Yes, it was her."

"But-but I don't understand."

"She wanted Taka to be betrothed to your Sarafina. It is truth, now. She won our battle."

"But, King Ahadi, how are you going to live together now?"

"How indeed?" he questioned himself.
