Author's Note:Gary2000, no they are not the same lionesses. Naanda just happens to snap at Sarafina than her cousin.
Khairi and the three young lionesses climbed up the rocky steps to be greeted by Ahadi and Uru. The brownish lioness sighed but before she could say something her general cut her off.
"Have you found the heartless soul that attacked my daughter!?"
The king and queen shared a look before looking at their friend. Ahadi took a deep breath before answering.
"We know who the criminals are and when they get back..."
Khairi frowned before glaring at the royal pair. "Get back...I don't understand."
Uru sighed heavily. "There were scents on Sarabi...they belong to my brother and Taka..."
Naanda snarled as her father roared causing the two stand. Khairi snarled at his friends, his orange eyes blazing.
"You son has crossed the line. Now Abasi is in the mix! Mark my words they will pay!"
With a growl he went into the cave his daughter was in with Naanda following. Leaving Ahadi, Uru, Kamaria and Sarafina outside.

It was late in the afternoon when Ahadi and Khairi walked through the plains in search for Taka and Abasi.
"I am not promising anything Ahadi!"
The golden king sighed. He couldn't blame his friend for wanting to kill his son and brother in law. But they must be a trial for their actions.
"I understand, Khairi. But Abasi and Taka must go to trial."
The tannish beige lion sneered. "We already know they did it! They're rotting scents are all over my daughter's body!"
Ahadi sighed heavily but the king could say something, dark laughter rang through the air. Ahadi frowned as Khairi snarled.
"Show your good for nothing faces!"
Out of some greenery walked Abasi and Taka. The large brownish lion laughed at the general before looking at his brother in law.
"Call for reinforcement, brother."
Ahadi glared at the slightly older lion. "You are here by sentence for trial. So are you Taka..."
The orange brown prince laughed at his father. "There's no need for trial...father."
"The hell it is!" Khairi roared.
Taka smiled darkly. "My uncle desired Sarabi. So I help him out."
Khairi roared before taking a swing at the queen's brother but the older prince ducked. Causing the tannish beige lion to catch Taka's left eye.
"At least it wasn't a complete miss." smiled Khairi.
Taka snarled at the general growling in pain. Ahadi snorted not at all disturbed by his general's action.
"Let's go. Mufasa will say what to do with you."
Taka glared at his father as he and his uncle was shoved to the front. "And if he chooses death?"
Ahadi sighed heavily before looking at his son in disappointment. "So be it."
Taka gaped at his father's words before turning ahead with a scrawl. He will not forget this day. No, he will not forget his father's betrayal for the golden child.
