Chapter 9: Short tempered

Kutisha sat in a clearing int the forest, crying. The day was drawing to an end as the sky turned orange. She knew that if she couldn't keep hold of Hasini, he would find someone else who would satisfy him. They hadn't spoken for weeks since they tried mating. This hadn't gone unnoticed by the pride. Huri especially had noiced this. She and Hasini had been getting closer since she realised they were not awknowledging each other anymore. Not one to turn down an oppertunity she started to flirt with the king.

After being sat by herself for what seemed like years, she headed back to where the pride were resting in the shade. Huri sat next to the king to see what he would do. Nothing; he simply gazed off into the distance. She rubbed her head into his thick black mane. To her astonishment he responded; nuzzling her back. She licked his face, amazingly he did the same to her They were about to kiss when Kutisha returned. Sha spotted Huri by her King. Huri didn't move, but lay down in front of him, flicking her tail from side to side. Kutisha spat on the floor furiously as she fixed her gaze on pushy Huri. Hasini looked over at her only to meet her filthy look. He quicky snapped his head back round.

"You!" Kutisha snarled. "What do you think you are doing?"

"Nothing." Huri shrugged.

"Get away from him..."

"Someones feeling jealous" Said Huri with a smug smile on her face

"You'll feel pain if you don't step away from him!" Snarled Kutisha; fury showing in her purple eye's

"I'll think i'll stay." Smiled Huri.

Hasini gulped.

"Fine!" Kutisha roared throwing herself at the once smug lioness.

Kutisha bit down hard on Huri's eye and yanked her jaws away taking a piece of Huri's ear with it. Huri Screamed as blood ran down her dark yellow fur, she held her ear in pain Kutisha slammed her retracted paw into Huri's face making her fall onto the floor crying. Hasini couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"I'll kill you you smug little bi...!"

Hasini floored Kutisha Snarling at her.

"Enough!" He roared.

Safa and some other lionesses helped Huri up.

"GET OFF ME!" Hissed Kutisha at Hasini. "I saw you two under the shade!"

Hasini's face turned cold.

"At least I could off satisfied him!" Growed Huri holding onto her bloody ear.

With out warning Kutisha kicked Hasini off her and threw herself at Huri.

"Keep you mouth SHUT!" she said pnning her " Or you you see that elegant neck of yours? I may snap it in half."

Huri's eyes grew wide. She was clearly shaken. Hasini bit down on Kutisha's scruff and dragged her away from the pride. Kutisha hissed at him as he stood over her.

"Your a nasty piece of work you know that?" Growled Hasini

"Why her?" said Kutisha in a more defensive tone.

"It's not my fault i'm finding myself physically less attracted to you!" Snapped Hasini. "And she came on to me!"

Kutisha gasped at the comment. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"I am sorry Kutisha but she..."

Kutisha placed her paw gently over his mouth shushing Hasini.

"Forget it" She said.

She heaved out her cream chest and ran her back foot down Hasini's stomach. She pulled him closer to her and licked his face. She then kicked his legs out from under neath him so he fell on her. Kutisha nibbled on his ear gently as he lowered himself down on her once again she carried on gently biting down on his ear. He suddenly violently thrust his hips up against her. Kutisha felt the same pain as before but it wasn't as bad as this time. She quietly moaned as he did it again, he pulled her closer to him pressing his lips to hers. Kutisha bit down hard on Hasini's neck making him flinch sightly but nothing more. He pushed her on her front and bit down hard on her scuff. Kutisha felt a slight surge of intense pain again but she quickly forgot about it. Hasini licked her scruff as he once agian thrust his hips into her. Kutisha roared with pleasure as Hasini finally got up off her several minutes later. She rolled on her back purring loudly. Hasini nuzzled her face. She kissed his lips again before getting up. She wrapped her claw tip around his mane, smiling at Hasini.

"Was that good enough for you?" She asked seductively.

The big lion returned the smile as he walked away from her.

"Where are you going?"

He stopped dead in his tracks. "Drink. Wanna come with?"

"I'd better go and apologise to Huri." Kutisha sighed.

Sorry wouldn't make up for losing a piece of her ear. Never the less Kutisha went up to Huri. Huri his behind Safa.

"Please don't kill me!" Begged Huri.

"I'm not going to kill you!" said Kutisha. "I came to apologise."

"Sorry doesn't give me back a piece of my ear now does it?"

"You got me so mad earlier and I just lost my temper..."

"I'm sorry I upset you." Said Huri trying to smile.

"I may not be able to give back a piece of your ear but I can heal it for you."

"How?"

Kutisha looked down on the floor for some herbs. But found nothing.

"I'll find them for you later." She smiled as she turned and ran.

"Find what?" called huri after her. But Kutisha was gone.

The sky was now a dark blue as the two lions set out in the marshland forest. It wasn't long before they found a pool of water. Kutisha was so thirsty, she hadn't drunk all day so she franticly lapped up the water Hasini watched his mate. The best thing was this lioness was HIS. She was so beautiful even if she was tempermental and stubborn most the time. That night they lay under the stars.
