Chapter 13 The Fight
The slab of granite and sandstone that Uzuri called home last night was still warm, but something was off, it reeked of sweat and of pheromones. Uzuri stirred as she woke up, she stretched her legs and flicked her tail. There was a dark paw on her side, 'I didn't!' She moved the paw causing the owner to wake, "Good morning, sexy." Scar said in a dark seductive way, 'I did!'
Scar wrapped his arm back around her stomach, and pulled her in for a good morning kiss. Uzuri's mind was racing till finally she mustered up her courage, "Scar... What happened last night?"
He immediately let her go, "What are you talking about?" His voice was icy cold, unlike his voice was when he just woke up.
"I was asleep... I," Uzuri's mind raced, as she tried to finish her thought.
"Get out!" He commanded, making Uzuri's heart to freeze. 'No...'
"I'm sorry." She said as the she left the cave, tearing up she sprinted for Pride Rock. Uzuri could no longer hold back her tears, "Why did this happen?" She felt a wave of self loathing sweep over her body. Uzuri collided with a figure that was as solid as granite, but it feel over easier than a one legged dodo.
"Uzuri be careful!" Sarabi said as she got to her feet, not noticing Uzuri's distressed state.
"I'm sorry." She said trying to compose herself as quickly as she could.
"Why are you crying?" Sarabi asked, 'I forgot to dry my eyes!'
Uzuri came clean about everything that happened the previous night. "So let me get this straight, you fell asleep in his den, you dreamed of your dead boyfriend, you woke up to find Scar draped over you, and he kicked you out for what?"
"I think... I might have... Offended him." She sobbed into Sarabi's shoulder.
"Come on." Sarabi said patting her on the back.
"To where?" She asked wiping the tears from her eyes.
"We are gonna fix this mess." Sarabi said as she rubbed Uzuri's back. Sarabi with a shattered Uzuri in tow, as they approached Scar's cave. "Scar! You mangy shit get out here!" Sarabi shouted into the mouth of the cave.
Scar slinked out of the cave, "As you wish your Majesty." He half hissed.
"Don't use that tone with me, now talk to Uzuri." She said disgusted.
"There is nothing to talk about." He said turning to head back into the cave.
Sarabi pinned his tail none to gently, "Talk to her, she is hurt." Scar grimaced and nodded.
Sarabi left them to talk, "Let me explain, I didn't know it was you."
"Well who do you think it was?" Scar asked trying to keep his composure, "It's my damn Cave."
"I thought it was all a dream, and I thought you were an old friend from home and things just kinda spiralled out of control." She said blinking back tears.
"How close were you two?" he asked trying to sound caring.
"He is gone now." she said and finally the dam burst.
Scar pulled her into a hug and he patted her on the back, "I am sorry, but that doesn't explain why you were in my cave."
"Sarabi gave me a mission, and I was wondering if you would accompany me to the Marshlands." Uzuri said as she pushed out of his embrace.
Scar gave her a small but kind smile, "I would like that."
Uzuri turned to leave, "I never said I didn't like it though." She said not even looking back, pretty sure Scar was all sorts of red. "We leave tomorrow at dawn."
