Thank you Reviewers! It means so much to me! I feel a lot more confident now!
The sun was setting in the Pridelands. Thali knew that Kovu was with the pride now. Night fell quickly, Thali arrived just in time to see Simba growl at Kovu, motioning for him to sleep outside. Thali felt disgust rise into her face as she watched Kiara run over to Kovu.
"I need to get close enough to hear them" Thali whispered beneath her breath, she then saw Kiara and Kovu facing each other. Thali ran up a few rocks in time for Kiara to leave
"I look forward to it" Kovu sneered as the 'Princess' left. Kovu walked back to where he was before and lay down. Minutes passed, Thali had been watching Kovu's sleeping body, when finally she heard the lionesses and Simba snoring.
"It took you long enough" Thali whispered, she then walked over to Kovu, waking him
"Hey" she smiled at him, Kovu looked up at her
"Hey" he replied dully
"Kovu you're taking too long with this!" she whispered hotly, Kovu stood up sharply, frowning.
"Hey I'm working here!" Kovu growled, Simba stirred in the cave, Thali quickly shot out of sight, while Kovu laid back down, still frowning. Simba panted in the cave. As if… He was afraid.
'How can a Great King be scared?' she thought. Simba's eyes opened sharply, he continued to breath heavily eventually calming down and sleeping again. Kovu stood up again, facing Thali
"What I mean is Kovu, nothing has happened yet" Thali whispered, she walked towards him again
"I'm teaching Kiara how to hunt in the morning" he looked down at her "Isn't that enough?"
"No. She's not… You know… Getting any closer to you" Thali felt another stroke of disgust rise into her face again
"Well she will do soon" Kovu smiled evilly. Thali looked off Pride Rock and saw a pool of water not far from them
"Let's go and drink" Thali chirped
"But-" before Kovu could finish speaking Thali had brushed her tail under his muzzle seductively
"Alright" Kovu sighed and began to follow Thali down Pride Rock.
The pool…
Thali was the first to begin lapping water
"Mmm… Fresh water" Thali smiled happily. She had never had such luxury. Kovu then joined her
"You're right this is nice" Kovu smiled after a few moments, she smiled back at him
"I'm glad that Kiara will soon fall for it" Thali sat down. Kovu stood up tall
"Well it won't be that hard for her" Thali looked at him oddly "After all, I am gorgeous" Kovu smirked deviously. Thali smiled
"I don't think so!" she pounced on him, Kovu grinned
"I'll win her heart in no sweat" Kovu chuckled
"Sure you will, X" Thali's expression changed to be upset. Kovu pushed her off of him and sat up
"So this is what it's about!" Kovu's smile turned into a frown instantly
"Well I hope you don't break her heart before Simba's killed!" Thali stood up as tall as she could.
"Well you weren't that good at being my Girlfriend anyway!" he snarled
"You weren't very good at being my Boyfriend either!" she growled
"It was all, Training, training, darn TRAINING!" she snapped
"Well with you it was all, me, me, I, I, self, self!" Kovu's claws became unsheathed.
"Kovu if you ever get this job done, we'll be lovers right?"
"I… I'll think about it" Kovu sighed
"Kovu?" she pleaded "Promise me, that we'll be lovers again" Thali begged
"Alright I promise" Kovu looked away, Thali touched his muzzle with hers
"I'll see you…" Thali looked at the sky, it was near dawn "Later… Bye" Thali crept into the bushes and lay down to sleep. Kovu smiled at her laziness, he began to walk back to Pride Rock…
