Chapter 17: Kanami and Minu?
The next morning became bright and sunny as always as Kanami stretched in
the den and opened her eyes. Moving onto her side, she noticed the empty
space beside her.
'Where was Minu?'
The lioness thought as she got up and walked outside, where she found her
mother gazing at the morning sky.
"Morning mom," she greeted as she nuzzled her.
"Good morning," Heira replied as she returned the nuzzle.
"Where's Minu?" she asked as Heira sighed.
"I'm not sure, I talked to him about going home, and he got very upset,"
she replied, sighing once again.
"I've been doing some thinking, and I've come to realize that we just have
to let him make up his mind," Kanami said as she looked up at her mother,
"no matter what we say, he won't go home, until he wants to."
"But, he needs to go back, he's the future king," Heira said.
"No, that title belongs to the other cub, that's why he doesn't want to go
back; he thinks his parents have forgotten about him."
Heira smiled as she stood up and stretched, extending her claws as she did
so, "well, if he does go back to reclaim the thrown, he'll most likely pick
you for his queen."
With that, Heira left as Kanami stood in shock.
'Me? A queen?'
"Yeah right," she said out loud as she layed down in the rising sun.
"Yeah right, what?"
The young lioness jumped as Minu's voice came from behind her.
"You came back," she said as she sat up and looked at him.
"Yeah, I've been doing some thinking," Minu said as he sat down, facing
her.
"What about?"
Kanami inquired, trying not to sound to hopeful that he may be wising up to
going home.
"Well, I was thinking," the lion paused, trying to figure out how to word
what he wanted to say.
"Kanami I," he began, as the lioness in question looked up to see her
mother dragging a dead zebra in order to place in front of the two lions.
"Thanks mom," she said as she bent her head and began eating, "what was it
you wanted to tell me?"
Kanami said after she swallowed;
"Nothing."
Minu replied as he tore off a piece of meat, and walked away with his head
down.
"What's gotten into him? He was about to say something and he just backed
off all of the sudden."
"He's going through a lot right now Kanami, just leave him be."
Off in the lush fields of Heira's lands, Minu sat with his back towards the
rising dawn of the day. The reason for him not returning to pride rock had
a lot to do with the other cub, but also concerned Kanami. Over the years,
he had grown to love the young lioness. Even though she was always talking
to him trying to convince him to go home, she was always there for him
whenever he needed someone to talk to or just someone to laugh and play
games with. She was always thoughtful, remembering the time she had
brought back a buffalo that she and Heira had caught. It had been Kanami
that had given him the meat herself, as she proudly showed off her hunting
skills. Memories of him and Kanami floated in his mind as he shut his
eyes, deciding that he'd never leave her, just to go home and face certain
disappointment.
'I'll just stay here,' he thought, 'I'll ask Kanami if she'd like to become
my mate, and we'll live together and forget about the pride lands.'
Although these thoughts of him and Kanami ran through out his head, deep in
his heart he knew that he could never forget his parents, no matter how
hard he'd try...
