Later that Shira was lying in her tree trunk in silence and Daniel was lying in his, thinking about how he was going to kill Diego.
'What does Diego want from me?' Shira asked herself. She was confused.
A bowl of water and some fruits were pushed through the small hole in the tree. Shira jumped with surprise.
"Easy, kitty. Water and fruits. You need it." Diego said, through the hole, looking at her.
"Oh, it's just you. Thanks but I don't need anything from you." she said to him, lying down.
"Shira, I'm not your enemy and you aren't my enemy." Diego said meaningfully, looking down at the tigress. He really meant it.
She looked up at him and then just nodded.
"Okay. Well, thanks." Shira replied, a bit embarrassed.
He smiled at her. "You're welcome. You know, Shira, you have a way of saying 'thanks' that makes it sound like 'drop dead' "
Diego giggled as he looked at the female saber. She smiled all too innocently.
Shira chuckled. "Well, it's a gift."
'She has a beautiful laugh.' he thought to himself, with a smile on his face.
There was a moment of silence.
"So, what are you doing here?" Shira asked him, giving him a questioning look. Diego was about to say something but before he could open his mouth...
"Diego-poo!" Sid called cheerily, walking up to them. He skipped up to the male saber.
'Diego-poo?' Shira thought to herself, letting out a laugh. Diego blushed and glared at the sloth.
'Sid, I hate you.' he thought, giving Sid a glare. The sloth just smirked at him.
"Hey, I made you another coral necklace. He-"
"Sid, get out of here... before I cut out your tongue!" Diego roared, freaking Sid out.
The sloth gulped in fear and then ran away, scared. "Ahhh! Manny!"
"Wow, you're almost as fierce as my mate." Shira said, surprised as she looked at Sid who was running away from them.
Diego felt something that he has never felt before. Jealousy.
"Why are you talking about this idiot?" he asked Shira, clearly jealous. He hated Daniel so much. So much. But why? She rolled her turquoise eyes at him.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe, because he's my mate." Shira said sarcastically before sighing as she looked down. He looked at her with eyes of worry.
"Are you okay?" Diego asked the tigress, worriedly.
Sighing, she stared up at him. She had a worried look on her face. "I just hope he's okay."
Shira could see the hurt Diego's eyes held at her concern for Daniel. Once again : Why?
"Don't worry, he's fine and safe." he said in a sad tone, lowering his head.
She gave him a glance and then let out a sigh. "Okay. Good. Thanks, Diego."
There was a moment of silence. Again...
"Why aren't you in a pack?" Diego asked, "Kitty?"
"I just chose to leave my pack." Shira replied, "And don't call me kitty!"
She growled at him.
"Really?" he asked her, looking at the female. She stared at him.
"Yes, why?" Shira said to him.
"Well, we have something in common, Shira, I chose to leave my pack too." Diego answered, smiling at her. She looked at the male and then grinned.
"Yeah, I guess so. Congratulations, warrior princess." Shira said, with a laugh. He laughed at her joke.
"But you know, I got something different." Diego said.
She stared at the male, giving him a questioning look. "Oh, yeah, what's that?"
"Well, a herd."
"What's the difference between a herd and a pack?" she asked the male saber, perplexed and confused.
"We have each other's backs, my lov- I-I mean swea- No-no... Uhmm... Shira. Yeah, Shi-Shira..." Diego shuttered, blushing. Then he looked sadly down.
-FLASHBACK-
"Diego, psst!" Daniel whispered to him. Diego walked over to the sabre.
"What do you want?" Diego asked him through gritted teeth. Daniel just smirked.
"Diego, she's mine..."
"What do you mean?"
"Shira, she's my tigress. She's mine, she would never be yours. She's mine and she always will be..." Daniel answered with a smirk.
-FLASHBACK-
Diego knew that he would never call her that. She would never be his. He closed his eyes, lowering his head. But he wanted her to be so bad. He would do anything to be with her. He fell in-
"Diego? Diego? Diego?"
He looked up at Shira. "Uh... oh, sorry. I wasn't paying attention."
She stared at him. "Wha-"
"Shira, why are you with Daniel?" Diego asked, looking in her beautiful blue turquoise eyes.
Ummm... Why are you with Daniel, Shira? ;)
