Chapter 18 Try Me

Uzuri wasted no time tackling V, "Hey, hey I missed you too." He chuckled, till he felt a sharp jab to his side. "Oww!"

"That is for abandoning me in the Outlands!"

"I..."

Uzuri cut him short by giving him a quick peck on his cheek. "That is for saving my life."

Uzuri noticed a short growl escape Scar's throat, "Get away from her." His voice dripped with acid and his eyes shot daggers.

V got up in Scar's face and now that they were face to face, Uzuri couldn't help but notice that Scar only came up to V's shoulder. "Try me." Scar swung at him and dug his claws deep into his left shoulder, V didn't even flinch or cringe. "My turn." V raised his paw and brought it down on Scar's head reopening the cut over his left eye.

Scar was about to retaliate but, Uzuri caught his paw. "No! Stop please."

Scar cooled down and with blood running down his face said, "I'm heading home." He turned and began to head home.

Uzuri felt her blood begin to boil, "Look at what you did!" She shouted at V who had Jelani already spreading some medicine on his gash.

"He swung first," he said looking dignified, Uzuri was about to storm off till, "Z, he can stay, but he can't be at my wedding."

Uzuri smiled a bit and chased after him, "Kovu! Please wait up."

Scar stopped and turned towards her, "What do you want?" He said distantly, not even bothering to meet her gaze.

"I want you."

He looked her in the eyes his left eye was cut deeply and blood soaked his fur surrounding his eye, "It didn't look like it back there, it looks like you wanted him."

"I am sorry, but he is the one who brought me to the waterhole that you found me at... Do I sense a hint of jealousy?" Uzuri said trying to lighten the mood.

Scar chuckled, "Me? Jealous... No never..." He nuzzled Uzuri causing her to purr.

"I love you."

"I know you do." Scar said looking deeply into her eyes, "We should find a place to stay for the night, cause I don't think we can stay in the main den."

"We can rejoin Sarafina back at Jelani's." Uzuri said, but Scar grimaced. "He can fix your eye too."

"Deal." They walked back to Jelani's tree to find him visiting with Sarafina, Kasema and Stelle.

Jelani greeted them and began cleaning Scar's eye, "You're lucky any deeper and you would need a new eye."

"Sorry my cousin is a hot head, he has been in a foul mood since he got back. He has never been a fan of arranged marriages." Kasey said patting Scar on the back.

"Wait a second, V is your cousin?" Uzuri asked, Uzuri had a strange feeling in her gut.

"Yeah, our mothers were sisters, why does that matter?"

"I don't know..." An awkward silence ensued. "So how far along are you?"

AN: Hey sorry about the wait, but here is another chapter we got to see V and Scar get after each other, Kasey and V are cousin and who would have guessed that it was V's wedding. And tomorrow I will be heading to college so there will be a delay for the next chapter. Please rate and review I still need a few names for two lions and one lioness.
