Hadiya's orbs looked up at Daudi who looked back. She sat in his arms, warm in his gentle grasp. There they sat in the darkness, transfixed in each other's eyes. Daudi mane darkened as those paws pulled Hadiya closer, their faces growing closer together and yet farther apart. Hadiya felt an uneasy feeling as he leaned towards her, going father into the darkness of the cave. Hadiya pushed her head aside and looked away. She pulled from those soft, velvet paws and back up a few feet away from Daudi but still in the darkness. Her face turned red with a feeling of betrayal. She suddenly felt foolish, why would a pridelander, who casted her pride away, be more polite then a outsider? He wouldn't and she had just proved it. He had tryed to seduce her, something she had dreaded in her own pride. Now it was happening in the pridelands where Haydia thought all the pain went away. Her heart broke with the feeling of loneyness again. The brown hair beside those silver ears flatened, frighten in her stupidity.

"Daudi... I thought you were different." Hadyia knew the cave would ecoe so the anger was exsressed at only a soft wisper. "I thought you were my friend, and now...now this. You just crossed the line, I'm never going to forgive you. I'm going to fetch my pride and we will attack you and your pride!"She started to run toward the entrance when Daudi stopped her. He grabed her with his paws and pulled the lioness back towards the wall of darkness in the cave. Hadiya tryed to scream but a paw held the voice in its grasp.

"Shhh." He put his large paw at Hadiya's snapping mouth. With his long tail, he pointed to a group of lionesses and a very large lion standing outside of the cave. The lionesses were a varity of light gold to pale yellow. The lion must of been a few feet taller then them. He was a light golden color with a rich shimering red mane. The lioness looked at the musclar lion whom looked as if he could take each out in a single blow. The group looked quite scared of him. The lion, most-likely the king, sniffed the ground when a smile came to the golden face, his teeth glimering in the sunlight.

"Ahh, an outlander has stepped into our boarders. By the scent I smell along with the outsider, my young son, Daudi, got to him first." He laughed, the chuckling allowing his scarlet mane to bounce on the flat gold chest. Hadiya looked at Daudi, surprised at the color difference in their manes and body's. "By the way I've trained that boy, I bet he attacked him, that outsider, no doubt. I don't know why my father, Simba, didn't just kill those betrayers. Because he didn't, I've noticed many lions have joined that pride. They must have joined because of Nuka's daughter is so beautyful, a strange trait for having such a ugly father." The king sniffed the grasses nearby." By the blood I smell in the brush over there, I bet the lad killed him. I'd rather not see the carcus so we'd better get your gazelle to Daudi before it rots. He deserves a stong meal after such a kill." The king started to leave Hadiya's veiwing, taking large steps as his normal pace. He left quite a few deep paw prints as he departed.

"Yes sir, King Kopa." A lioness responed. She turned to the others. "Bring the meats to the pride rock as soon as you can, Daudi must be staving. Simba might want some also along with Kopa."

"Yes, Nala." The the five or so lioness left their sight. Daudi pulled his paw of Hadiya who took a few moments to gasp for the needed breath. She panted and coughed and then looked up at Daudi, still angry. A low snarl was released from a teethshown mouth.

"That was my father, Kopa. And I'm sorry for pulling you so close. I wasn't trying to seduce you, I was trying to pull you closer in the darkness so my father won't see you. I just didn't want you to relize you were so close to being dinner, I thought you would get upset and show our position. I'm very sorry if you got the wrong idea about me. You can leave now or you can stay you choose." He then anwsered her non-spoken question about their colors" From what I've heard, my mother was a outsider named Gensety. But I also heard my father killed her after I was born."

"Yes, I might want to leave. My father, Nuka, will be very angry if he notices I've been gone a few days. I'm very embarrest that I didn't know the whole truth. And your rumors must be wrong, Gensety lives with me, Vitaini and Ziram the only lionesses after a war with another pride. We were attack by an almost lion-only pride and when we lost, they joined the pride. My mother was a lioness from their pride. But your mother must have been another lioness. I would guess Kaine, a brown lioness who died near the time of my birth. She and my mother both died around the same time. She is Zira's daughter. I would still like to be your friend but I have to leave now before my betrothed finds me. But I still would love to see you again" Hadiya stepped out of the cave with Daudi at her side. She rubbed that beautyful head into his think mane. He rubbed her back, both of them in a sort of loving hug. But then a voice came behide them.

"Wait untill Nuka find out you've been hanging in the prideslands, and even with a pridelander! Your gonna be busted!"


Bet you didn't see that coming, Zira had 2 daughters and Simba had a son! I remember Kopa as the name of Simba's son so I used it and I made up the name Kaine as to take the place of Kovu. Interesting, huh?
