Wolf and Leo: Own nothing

A herd of zebras took flight as four people popped into existence in the middle of them. The four teens stared around the scrubland, trying to figure out where they'd landed this time.

"Africa." Katie finally declared.

"Savannah." Meg added. "And not a human for miles it looks like."

The teens then noticed a large lioness watching them curiously a little ways away.

"Yugi, get back." Yami said in a whisper. "Don't make any sudden movements."

"Hold on, let me talk to her." Meg said, moving forward. As she walked she shifted into another lioness. The first lioness looked surprised.

"Hello!" Meg called.

"How'd you do that?" The lioness asked.

"Oh, it's just a little ability I have, it's nothing to be scared of though." Meg replied. "Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Kiara, and you?"

"I'm Meg." Meg replied. Kiara peered around her to stare at the other teens again.

"What are they?" She asked curiously.

"They're called humans." Meg replied. "You've never seen one before?" Kiara shook her head.

"They're so odd-looking." She murmured. Katie, who could understand her thanks to her animalistic nature snorted with laughter.

"Yeah, well, if you see any others, you should keep away." Meg replied.

"Why? They don't look dangerous."

"Looks can be deceiving, just trust me on this." Kiara looked puzzled but nodded. Yami sighed.

"I really wish I could understand what they're saying, I feel left out."

"Can they not understand us?" Kiara asked.

"Well, Katie, my sister, can, but humans have long forgotten how to communicate with the other animals."

"Oh, that's sad." Kiara commented. Meg nodded. "So, what are you-" She was cut off by a furious roar. A male lion with brown fur and a black mane bounded out and stood in front of Kiara. There was a scar across one of his green eyes.

"Kiara! What are you doing?! Who are these creatures?"

"Kovu calm down, they're not doing anything wrong." Kiara retorted.

"Yet." Kovu took a menacing step towards Yami and Yugi, growling softly. Yugi squeaked and hid behind Yami.

"Back off." Yami growled, eyes flickering black as he prepared to summon his shadows. Meg pushed in between the two glaring males.

"Alright, let's not get physical here." She said. "We're here—LOOK OUT!!" She leapt at Kovu and knocked him over just as a large shape leapt at him.

"What in the world?" Kiara stared at the creature that had attacked them. It looked like a larger version of a hyena, but made entirely of black shadows, with glowing red eyes.

"Demon." Yami growled. Katie nodded and activated her sword. The hyena-demon circled her, cackling in the way that hyenas do, but this was far more sinister. The demon leapt at her and she chopped downwards with her claymore, neatly severing the demon in half.

The two lions stared in surprise as the demon disappeared into dust. Katie's eyes roved around restlessly.

"We should go, if they're anything like real hyenas they'll be travelling in packs." She said.

"We'll take you to my father." Kiara said. "He'll want to know what's going on, and I think you have the answers." The teens nodded and followed her and the grumbling Kovu.

Katie was digging in her backpack as they walked along. She pulled out a thermos and took a swig from it. The lions' noses twitched.

"Is that...blood?" Kovu asked. Katie nodded as she took another swig. "You drink blood?"

"I have to, it's how I survive."

"So, humans drink blood?" Kiara asked.

"Oh, I'm not human." Katie replied. Kiara looked confused.

"Then what are you? You look human." Katie sighed and explained as best she could her and Meg's parentage. Kiara's red eyes were very wide when she finished.

"Aha!" Katie exclaimed, dragging something out of her backpack. "I knew there had to be at least one in here." She crowed, waving a spellbook around. "Now let's see if they've got the right spell in here."

She rifled through the book as Meg explained what it was to the perplexed lions.

"Ok, here we go..." Katie said. She yelled something just as another roar shattered the calm. They looked up to see another male lion, this one with blonde fur and a brown mane come towards them, looking angry.

"Where have you been?" He asked Kiara. "And what are they? You know you shouldn't bring strange creatures home Kiara."

"Daddy, don't treat me like a cub, I think they're important somehow, right after we met a strange creature, what was it called again...?"

"A demon." Yugi answered. Kiara turned to stare at him.

"I thought you couldn't understand us?"

"We couldn't, up until Katie shouted that spell." Yami replied. Katie just looked smug.

"Simba, that one saved us from the demon's attack." Kovu said, nodding his head at Katie. Simba just glared suspiciously at the humans. Meg sighed and returned to human form.

"Can I see that?" She asked Katie. Katie nodded and held out the spellbook. "You're better at negotiations than I am." Katie nodded and Meg flipped through the book, muttering to herself.

Katie sat down and explained their purpose there to Simba, who was obviously the leader of the pride. Meanwhile Meg was wandering around, plucking various plants from the ground and trees. She looked up as the branches of one tree rustled.

A friendly looking baboon poked his head out.

"And what are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm looking for ingredients." Meg explained. The baboon leapt down with a large walking stick.

"Perhaps I can help, hmm?" He asked. Meg nodded. She listed off the ingredients and the monkey, whose name was Rafiki, cackled merrily and sang funny little ditties as he helped her.

"So, those demons are after you?" Simba asked Katie also keeping an eye on the other wandering human, who nodded soberly. "You would bring them down upon us! You should leave!" He roared. Yugi flinched and huddled against Yami.

"You really think they'll leave you alone, even if we go?" Yami asked him. "All these creatures want is destruction, they will not stop until this land and all others are destroyed. At least with us here you stand a fighting chance."

Simba looked at him thoughtfully and warily.

"Well, we've done it!" Meg crowed, sauntering into the circle with Rafiki. She shoved a small gourd into Yami and Yugi's hands. "Drink this?" Yami looked at it suspiciously.

"Just drink it." Meg sighed in exasperation. Yami swigged it back and Yugi did the same. Five seconds later a bright light surrounded them and in their place stood two lions.

The lion that was Yami had blonde fur and a black mane with red tips. Yugi wad much the same, except his tips were violet. Yugi blinked his wide violet eyes and stared down at his paws.

"Hey, I'm a lion." Something whacked him in the side and he pounced on it, only to realize it was his own tail. Meg chuckled and shifted into her own lion form. Katie shrugged and shifted into wolf form.

"Wait, why don't you change into one of us instead of that funny-looking hyena?" Simba asked. Katie bared her teeth angrily at him.

"First of all I'm a wolf, not one of those cowardly little pukes." She growled. "And second, this is the only thing I can turn into and potions don't work on me, deal with it." She said. Meg chuckled and rubbed herself against her sister, purring.

By this point night was falling.

"Can they stay the night Daddy, please?" Kiara begged. Simba's eyes softened at her pleading.

"Alright, but only one night." He said. He flicked his tail at them to follow. The teens followed up the side of Pride Rock and into the cave within. The other lionesses gave them confused looks but settled down quickly when Simba signaled with his tail.

Yugi and Yami curled themselves around each other, while Katie nuzzled up against Meg. Kiara and Kovu came to lie down with them and soon wished he hadn't. Because as the girls started whispering and giggling to each other, he put a paw over his ears.

"This is going to be a long night."
