First off thanks bee! I didn't think anyone would recognize that I use a Solomon reference. And thank you blueeyesjdaly I agree with you. And to Tasha101 thank you for reviewing every chapter I made :)
Oh and I forgot to tell you guys but I posted a picture of Kyra and what she looks like in this story go to deviantart then look for ironfire14 the picture is called Thundercats fanfiction OC
Hit and run! Tygra growled as a slingshot pebble hit the back of his head while he was sparring and he knew who hit him, lion-o. He turned around growling as he watched lion-o run of laughing.
"Pay attention or you're not going to learn anything! just ignore him." Grune ordered making Tygra frown.
"Well he's not going to learn any faster if he keeps getting pebbles in his head!" Grune paled at the sound of Kyra's voice. She came walking around the corner having a firm grip on lion-o's arm and another holding his slingshot.
"And if I remember correctly you said never ignore your enemy am I right?" Grune growled slightly. Tygra saw where this was going and gave Kyra a look and she let lion-o go.
"you know very well he's not even close to being a threat so therefore he's not an enemy." Grune eyed lion-o as he run over to his brother apologizing.
"You know Panthro is teaching him and I like how he teaches him and I hate you!"
"Oh you hate how I teach the first prince huh what don't you like?"
"I didn't say I hate your teachings I said I hate you." Grune growled at the last sentence. This was the only female that could stand up to him in battle and win without a weapon.
"Why not have lion-o and Tygra spar with each other lion-o could use the practice." Panthro saves the day…like always when the two cross paths.
Kyra leaned against the wall wincing every time Tygra beat lion-o he seemed to take all his anger out on the young cub. Tygra was a talented cub any challenge given he'd take head on and always come out better than expected. This is going to surely cause a problem in the far future.
Kyra winced as the wooden sword was thrust at lion-o. The poor cub tried to block it but the attack only caused him to lose balance, again.
Lion-o growled glaring daggers at Tygra how smirked before getting up and walking to Kyra. Claudus was talking to Panthro and Grune about a mission to find the book of omens. Kyra frowned why is he so obsessed with finding a book that doesn't exist?
Kyra thought it would be best to take the boys elsewhere they don't need to start chasing after imaginary things either. It's bad enough that lion-o is into technology.
"You're getting better at sword fighting lion-o good job."
"Yeah but Tygra still beat me." Kyra smiled
"With an attitude like that he will." Kyra glanced at Tygra who seemed quite fond of the clerics practicing in the yard. He eyed a certain young blond cheetah practicing with her staff.
"She a cleric you're a prince her job is to protect you." Tygra looked up at Kyra with sad eyes he knew the truth. It was either her or Jaga that caught Tygra spying on the young cleric in training.
Kyra stopped in a mid walk and sniffed face crunching up in disgust. "You two need a bath."
Tygra and lion-o exchanged glances of confusion.
"Sweat doesn't attract ladies well boys." Kyra sighed too young to be into girls but the trick works.
As the boys ran off Kyra felt someone grab her shoulder forcefully and turn her around.
"Hello Grune." Kyra blandly said crossing her arms.
"You're starting to piss me off women." He snapped pointing one of his thick fingers at her.
"It's rude to point." Kyra said pushing the finger away only to have her wrist grabbed onto rather tightly.
Now Kyra was known for not being a fighter, in fact she was far from it. Smart and witty with verbal battles when it came to physical she easily would back down and Grune clearly knew this.
She held back a cry of pain as she felt the circulation cut off to her hand and the sharp poking needles tingle up her arm.
"Next time hold your tongue!" he leaned closer to her and growled deep and low. "And you won't get hurt." He shoved her onto the concrete ground and walked off. He always showed up when they were out of view so no witnesses would ever know.
"Kyra?" looking up Claudus was looking down at her with a look of curiosity.
"I probably look funny from where your standing." Claudus smiled. He reached down to pull her up grabbing the wrist Grune and just abused Kyra hissed in slight pain pulling her hand back.
Kyra realized her mistake and quickly apologize. "I'm so sorry my lord!"
Claudus seemed to shrug of the matter and gestured for her other hand. After pulling her up he gently took the bruised wrist barely running his thumb over it. Kyra's white fur made it hard to hide any bruises or marks she has that was one disadvantage to being a white tiger.
"I tripped and landed on It." she lied.
"You never were good at lying Kyra." Claudus looked her straight in the eye his blue ones stared into her red ones.
"It's the truth!" she pulled her hand back shoving it in her dress pocket.
Claudus snorted in irritation. "If you landed on it you would have bruises all up your arm and only on one side of your hand not all the way around."
"I need to go see if the boy's rooms are clean." Kyra changed the subject turning around to walk off only to be grabbed by the shoulder once again.
"You're not going anywhere till you tell me what happened." Kyra tried, oh how she tried not to make eye contact with him but with both hand on her shoulders she can't turn around.
But why was she lying to him in the first place? Maybe because once she told him how much she disliked Grune and he only laughed when she was dead serious. So why not lie some more?
"Well I was a bit pissed off on how Grune doesn't think lion-o will ever be good at fighting so I think I kinda squeezed the life out of my wrist."
Claudus frowned. "I told you were never good at lying." He let go of her shoulders holding up his hands.
"And to think I thought you would trust me after all these years but I guess I was wrong." Damn the guilt trick, it stung like hell she was half tempted to tell him everything right there.
The day went like any other day after that minus the big, heavy, depressing, stinging weight of guilt on her shoulders and the throbbing, burning, itchiness of her wrist but everything was fine just dandy!
But the good news was that Grune was leaving in a week. Thank the ancestors!
But that week was long and tiring and seemed to go one for years to Kyra. Wait till Grune leaves she would tell herself then tell the truth to Claudus that way there's no trouble.
But not she avoided Claudus for a whole month afterwards and she didn't know why. And now her she was standing in front of his door wanting to run like hell to her bed and scream.
"Miss I do believe you knock like this." One of the guards smiled as he taped on the door making her stiffen.
"Yes?"
"It's Miss Kyra my king she wants to see you."
"Let her in." the guard opened the door as she walked in as the door closed it was as if her she signed her own death sentence.
Claudus looked different from his normal flowing cape and shining armor. He had a loose light blue shirt on and a pair of cotton pants.
"Sorry to bother you." Kyra mumbled
Claudus leaned forward a bit but failed to hear her.
"You can come sit over here you know it's not like I'm asking you to sign your death sentence. Oh it sure felt like it!
She walked over to the chair he gestured to sitting down on one just across from her.
"Now please repeat."
"I said sorry to bother you." She mumbled again.
"Now what's the problem with the boys?" Kyra blinked he thought it was about the boys?
"It's not about the boys sir um do you remember what happened about a month ago." Claudus blinked his expression blank yet at the same time full of surprise.
He leaned back and started to laugh. "So the whole month you avoided me over that? So the guilt trick worked?"
Kyra laughed nervously "more then you know."
"So what about it?" Kyra sighed tell the truth it's better than having it hit you in the ass in the far future. So she told him it wasn't a big deal actually it's not like Grune beat her but it did scare her and she couldn't sleep till he left.
"And you wait to tell me this after he left." Claudus said his elbows resting on his lap and his chin resting on his folded hands.
Kyra thought about it for a few seconds before nodding and smiling in a dorky way "that's the pretty much it goodnight Claudus hope you have a good night's sleep." Kyra quickly got up but didn't get very far when she was pulled back.
"Wait a second you're not going anywhere." Kyra huffed sitting back down in the chair.
"Why there's nothing else to talk about I won't lie again promise now can I go?" she pointed at the door Claudus chuckled.
"You're so jumpy." He said getting up and walking over to his night stand to grab a drink. "Can't you stay and talk to an old friend?"
"Old? I've only been here nine years. And what is there to talk about?" Claudus laughed handing her a glass of wine. He leaned down to her ear making her blush.
Both hands were on the back of her chair and he whispered. "I was thinking of something other than talking."
