SPRING BREAK:-)
Chapter Five: Banned
The trio stopped to take a rest. They been running for about fifteen minutes getting as far away from the lion as they can. Shenzi panted from running so much, it felt like another day of training with his brother and What's his face. She looked around and noticed they were lost, the surrounding around them wasn't familiar to her.
(Well its better to be lost then being torn to shreds) She thought "are you guys alright"
Ed was bleeding from a bite wound but he gave her a weak smile to say he was ok. Banzai stood up and they heard his bones popping and cracking.
"I swear, if he would have body slam me a second time my bones would've broke"
"So your ok" Shenzi asked again
"Very sore but good"
"Great" Shenzi smiled then smack him in the back of the head again
"Ow, why did you do that again" he yelled rubbing his head again
"Because you're a idiot, I told you not to touch food, and looked what happen, we nearly got ourselves killed by some psycho lion. Who's probably looking for us right now as we speak"
"I said I was sorry" Banzai said as he watched Ed lowering his head, letting Shenzi hit him for not listening to her. "And besides I think he has more things to worry about"
Ed begin to laugh as Shenzi examine his bite wound. "I know, you should be thanking me for saving your ass...again" she said
"But how did you do that" Banzai asked
"Do what"
"That trick with the tree branch"
"Easy, I just bent the branch down and hold it with my foot then release it letting the branch slash his eye. It was something my mom taught me awhile ago"
"You got to teach us that trick" he said
"No, this is only for me to know, my mom doesn't want anyone else to know it"
"Oh" Banzai said a little disappointed "so now what"
"Well, I guess we stay here for awhile, no doubt that loco lion looking for us" She said
"When should we leave because we got to get back to the clan before sundown" Banzai said
"Don't worry, my mom won't mine if we're a little late"
"That's was before since we were always with your brother now we're all alone"
Ed gave Shenzi "he-has-a-point" look before licking his wound.
"Look, lets just stay here for a few hours till its safe enough for us to head home okay"
"Fine, I'm too sore to move anyway" Banzai said and Ed shrugged
Shenzi laid down on the cool dirt and drifted of to sleep along with her friends. When she woke up it was already night fall.
"Shit" She said getting up and running over to Banzai, shaking him to get up "Banzai wake up, we overslept"
Banzai begin to open his eyes "huh" he said. Shenzi shook him again "Shenzi stop shaking me"
"Get up! It already night, we got to get home fast" she yelled
Banzai stood up, then hiss in pain from his sore muscles as Shenzi started to wake up Ed. They quickly ran across the plain fields but realize again that they were lost.
"Shenzi do you know where we are or where we are going" Banzai asked
"To be honest, I don't know where we are" she said
Ed shivered in fright, this part on the land was kinda spooky at night. The wind was cold and made weird noises when blew against the trees and the grass.
"Aw, is little Ed scared of the dark" Banzai teased
"Stop Banzai, or you'll regret it" Shenzi said calmly as she continue to walk.
Banzai ignored her and walked beside Ed with a large grin "you did know Ed that this place is haunted" he whisper
Ed shook his head " it is, see a long time ago there was this big ugly tiger monster who spends his days eating little hyena pups that had a low IQ" Banzai said making his voice real creepy
Ed grew very pale and continue to shake " and when he die he still wondered the land looking for the dumb ones and he was known as the "big, ugly tiger ghost monster"
"Banzai, shut up, this is not the time to pick on Ed" Shenzi said
Banzai growled but smiled when he saw Ed scare to death by the fib he told him. "So you better watch out Ed or you'll be next"
"Banzai!" Shenzi said as a last warning
"Gee, Shenzi lighten up" Banzai said
"Lighten up, it hard to do that when we're lost and it not helping when you pick on Ed with you ridiculous stories"
"Their not ridiculous and we're not lost, there the tall grass we hid when that lion attacked us" he pointed
Shenzi looked around and sigh in relief, there was the tall grass but no lion crying out about his eye. "Coast is clear, lets go the clan shouldn't be far now"
After another ten minutes of walking, the night grew darker and Ed was ever more uneasy about the surroundings. His teeth chattered and he begin to whin.
"No Ed, there is no such thing as a big ugly tiger ghost monster, Banzai was just making it up" Shenzi said
She squinted her eyes, it was too dark to see where she was going. She heard a twig snapped and Ed screaming. She turned around and could barley see Ed shaking in a tight little ball and Banzai trying to clam him down.
"I'm sorry Ed, I just made up the story now get up" He yelled but stopped when he too heard more twigs snapping and the sounds were coming closer and closer.
"Guys that wasn't you snapping those twigs" she said
"I thought that was you" Banzai said
They pause then started to shake when they heard grass moving.
"Ok there is something out there" Shenzi said
"It that lion again, I know it" Banzai said
Ed whimpered and whin. Shenzi turn to him "no its not that stupid tiger monster Ed so stop whining."
Ed and Banzai's eyes widen and pointed at something behind her. Shenzi suddenly felt her hair being pulled and was slammed to the floor. She knew only one person who does that and he was pissed off at her...again
She looked up and smiled "hi Shenzen" then got up again
He just stared at her and her friends " you guys are in so much trouble for once its not even funny"
"Trouble, I know we're getting home late but I don't thing we'll be in trouble" Banzai said
"It not that you idiot, its about that attack you guys did on that lion" he said
All three felt their hearts sank and felt a huge lump in their throats.
"Of all lions, you had to attack one of the King's sons" he said then walked up "lets go, you have a lot of explaining to do to mom"
Shenzi shallow that huge lump in her throat and her and her friends follow her brother the rest of the way. When they got back to their home every hyena was gone.
"Shenzen where the clan" Shenzi asked
"Oh did I mention thanks to you and your moron friends, we were kicked out of pride rock"
The trio stopped in their tracks "What!" Shenzi and Banzai shouted as Ed put on a confuse face.
"Yup, I guess you guys forgot about the agreement mom and the king made when we first arrive"
"How the hell should we know, we were out being chase by birds and falling down a waterfall" Banzai said
"Don't get smartass with me Banzai this isn't the time" Shenzen shouted right in his face
"Sorry" Banzai said
"Idiots, now come on we still got a long way to go" he said
"Where are we going" Shenzi asked
"Where else, to our new home"
"But where is are knew home" Banzai asked
"If you shut up and pick up the pace I'll show you" Shenzen said
They walked for about another twenty minutes till they reach a ditch and at the bottom was another large piece of land that was full of bones and smog.
"Welcome to the outlands and this is the elephant graveyard" Shenzen said with a smiled
"This is our home" Banzai asked
"And while are you smiling you never smile" Shenzi asked
"Because for the first time ever I'm not the one in trouble, there is no way they can blame this on me" he laughed and walk down to the graveyard, the trio followed him. It wasn't easy walking through the bones and there were a lot of bones. They went deeper in to the graveyard till they found a bunch of caves and the clan. Right away the clan stopped and gave the teenagers an evil glare.
"Is it me or are they giving us that death glare" Banzai whispered
"Wow Banzai, your good at pointing out the obvious" Shenzi said
Banzai frowned then bumped in to someone. He looked up and went pale when Nuacka stared down at him. The trio smiled nervously at her.
"Your mother wants to talk to you alone Shenzi, she in the last cave." she said coldly
"Thank you Nuacka" Shenzi said then whispered to the boys "stay here, if they try to do anything to you run"
"Got it" Banzai whispered back and Ed nodded.
"Um before I go Nuacka, what exactly happen here" Shenzi asked
"Oh funny story, Shentana and I were just hanging around waiting for you three to return. Then suddenly the King came by with one of his son name Taka, and his eye and face of his face was covered in blood. Taka told us that three young hyenas ate his food then attacked him. There was a dorky looking male, another male with thick eyebrows and a female with a weird hair style. Well to keep it short we were banned form pride rock and now we have to live in the outlands"
Shenzi nodded with a very uneasy feeling in her stomach then without another word she turned around and ran to the last cave where her mom was waiting. When Shenzi was gone, Nuacka growled and looked at Banzai and Ed.
"I'll take care of here he said" Nuacka said looking directly at Banzai "your lucky, if I was the matriarch of this clan you two would already been dead"
Banzai and Ed went cold as Nuakca walked pass them. Shenzen just snickered "I think its best if you two sleep with one eye open"
Shenzi peaked through the cave to see her mother sitting down and staring at the wall. She slowly walked in and sat down beside her and looked at her. Even as a teen her mom was twice as tall then her. Shenzi waited till she speak but there was dead silence in the air.
"Shenzi" her mother finally spoked cause a chill going down Shenzi's spine. "I'm very disappointed with you"
"Mom, please let me explain, we didn't know that food belong to the lion and we were very hungry" she lied trying hard not to mention that it was all Banzai and Ed fault and she was the one, again, to clean up the mess that they made.
"It not the food Shenzi, you could've been killed by that lion and noone would have been there to protect you" Shentana explain "that was so stupid of you to fight a lion that was four times your sizes and I told you and your friends thousands and thousands of times to stay away from them and you still don't listen to me"
"He was attacking Banzai and Ed mom, I couldn't sit there and watch them die and I'm sorry for what I did and its not like I can take back the injury"
"I should've let Shenzen watch over you because its obvious that you can't be trusted alone" Shentana said
That really hurt Shenzi, her own mother couldn't trust her. She lower her head "I'm sorry" she said again but Shentana just shook her head.
"We'll be staying here for awhile til I think of something, we'll be sharing this cave with Nuacka and Zacuru"
Shenzi nodded "I'm going to find my friends" she said in a low voice "and if you don't mine mom can I have a cave of my own, I doubt Shenzen, what's his face and Nuacka would want to see us"
Shentana sigh but nodded, she was to mad to looked at Shenzi in the face. Shenzi left quickly out of the cave. The graveyard was empty, she guess the clan already settle in inside the caves. She saw her brother and what's his face walking to their cave. She spotted Banzai and Ed and noticed that they lost a bit of their color.
"You guys alright, you look a bit pale" she asked
"We just got about fifteen death threats" Banzai said
"Oh, come on" Shenzi siad
"Where are we going now" Banzai asked
"We're going to find us a cave"
"But all of them been taken and I'm sure no one would want us in" Banzai said
Ed begin to laugh and made some grunted noises
"A skull, you spotted a skull near the borders of pride rock"
"A skull, Ed we're looking for a cave not a skull" Banzai said
Ed whin and growled in arugement then started to jump up and down.
"Ok, ok Ed, show us this skull you spotted" Shenzi said, she was too tire and upset to fight.
It took another half a hour to reach the skull Ed was laughing about. Shenzi looked around it, it was a giant elephant skull, very old and dusty but it was big enough to walk in to the mouth.
"What ugly thing" Banzai said kicking the side of the skull causing dust to fly in to the air. He begin to cough as Shenzi enter the mouth of the cave.
Shenzi looked inside "come on in guys there plenty of room"
"Shenzi, your not actually going to sleep in here, are you"
"I'm too tire to look for a better place to sleep, so why don't you shut up, get in here and sleep or find somewhere else to go" Shenzi voice echo out of the skull.
Ed quickly walked in, Banzai sigh and walked in as well. "A little crowded don't you think" he said
Shenzi already laid down along with Ed. She scoot over a bit for Banzai to lie down next to her.
"This will do for now" she said
Banzai laid down next to her "but whats going to happen to us now"
Shenzi sigh "I don't know, it our fault our clan in this mess and it our job to get them out" she said "we just have to think of something"
"But for right now, let just get some sleep" Banzai yawned
Shenzi nodded "goodnight boys"
"Goodnight" Banzai said and Ed just whined...
