Ok, so here we are... Chapter 2. Sorry It's boring right now... But it'll get better. Enjoy
A few hours had passed and Saka was still passed out and on the ground at the back wall of Jasiri's cave. Madoa, Wema and Tunu were outside, while Jasiri and Alcuthe remained inside. Alcuthe had been pacing back and forth impatient and worried as to why it was taking so long for Saka to awake. Jasiri had repeatedly apologized to Alcuthe about what had happened but Alcuthe wouldn't accept it until he knew Saka was OK and would also forgive her. Jasiri has really thought about what she did and thinks maybe she shouldn't have been that violent, but somewhat thinks it wasn't her fault. Saka had begun to moan and was slowly regaining consciousness, and that caught both Jasiri and Alcuthe's attention. Alcuthe rushed to Saka's aid and helped him up.
"Hey, your OK, get up slowly. It's alright." Alcuthe said in a worried tone, but happy at the sight of his friend breathing again. Saka looked at him and chuckled lightly after he regained vision. Jasiri smiled at how thoughtful and caring Alcuthe was towards Saka. Saka then took notice of Jasiri and tucked his ears, tail and crouched down in fear. Jasiri felt even worse at that sight and then spoke.
"I... I'm truly sorry about earlier." She began. "I just, panicked a little." She finished and Saka slowly stood back up straight, but still slightly afraid.
"I won't forgive her until I know your OK and if you forgive her." Alcuthe stated and looked at Saka who was staring dreamily at Jasiri. 'You've gotta be kidding me...' Alcuthe thought to himself as he looked at Saka and just rolled his eyes.
"I...I forgive you." Saka answered gently and remained starring at her. Then there was awkward silence for a little while until Jasiri decided to ask questions.
"Sooo... What are your names if I may ask?" Jasiri asked.
"I'm Alcuthe, and this is Saka." Alcuthe said as he looked back at Saka and then back at Jasiri. "Yours?" He asked slightly stern.
"I'm Jasiri." Jasiri replied. 'What a beautiful name' Saka thought to himself. "The three outside are my sister Madoa, and the two younger ones are Wema and Tunu." She finished.
"Well, I guess we'd better get going then, thanks." Alcuthe said and he began to walk out and Saka followed but tucked his tail, ears, and crouched as he walked quickly passed Jasiri, which made her feel bad again. Alcuthe stopped at the cave entrance, looked back at Jasiri and walked back to her as Saka continued out the cave. I really do appreciate what you did. I apologize that I sound angry, but I'm just very protective over him, He's the only family I have ever had." Alcuthe explained lightly. "I do forgive you, and again, thank you very much." He finished with a half smile, left the cave and ran to catch up with Saka.
After a few minutes of Saka and Alcuthe walking to find a place they planned to sleep, Alcuthe looked at Saka.
"So... you and Jasiri?" Alcuthe asked and smirked evilly. Saka's face then started turning red with embarrassment.
"You noticed?" Saka asked even though he knew the answer was obvious to him.
"Yeah, definitely. Not sure if she noticed, but man you were just starring her down." Alcuthe began. "So, when are you gonna make a move?" He asked.
"Make a..." Saka began. "I hardly even know her for one, and for two, she kicked me right in my crotch!" Saka said slightly annoyed, and Alcuthe decided to pick on him more.
"So? They can still work." Alcuthe said and Saka looked at him with a raised eyebrow and wide eyes which made Alcuthe begin to laugh really hard. Saka smiled, but tried so hard not to laugh.
"You need help man... like serious help." Saka began. "And while your at it, learn to make better jokes." He finished.
Saka and Alcuthe had walked for about another half hour, and it was nearing evening. They saw a big tree in the distance and started heading towards it. When the two got to it, they immediately laid down and Saka groaned in slight pain as he slowly reached the ground. It had been silent for a while, and finally Alcuthe decided that he would break the silence.
"In all seriousness, are you gonna go for her?" Alcuthe asked with and Saka actually looked at him and knew he was being serious this time.
"I don't know, I'm not gonna do it like 'right now' if I do considering we just met and probably won't talk anymore." Saka started. "But, We'll see." He finished and yawned.
"Well, at least your finally getting out there." Alcuthe began and flipped to his side, shunning Saka.
"Finally getting out there?" Saka said in a joking manner. "You have never had a girl once in your life." Saka said and smiled in victory.
"Fair point." Alcuthe responded. "But I also never got interested, and tried. You on the other hand..." He finished.
"Oh shutup, I'm tired." Saka interupted with a chuckle. 'Your always tired.' Alcuthe thought to himself.
"Yeah... getting kicked where the sun doesn't shine really tires you out doesn't it?" Alcuthe asked and laughed more.
"Night jerk." Saka said as he laughed along with him and slowly closed his eyes.
Saka was walking through an unknown, endless cave shaped exactly like Jasiri's.
"Hello?" Saka shouted, but out came no response. Saka looked around him and then straight ahead and he saw Jasiri. She was smiling and walking straight towards him. Saka wanted to be slightly scared, but instead, he felt comfortable and walked to her as well. When they got closer, Saka ceased to a stop a few yards in front of Jasiri and she kept walking and stopped inches away from his face and smiled big and eyes starring into his. Saka starred at her and opened his mouth to say something, bus as soon as he opened his mouth, Jasiri leaned forward and kissed him. Saka's eyes were wide with shock and confusion, but he then slowly closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment. Eventually, Jasiri pushed him to the ground lightly, and stood over him, looking down at him with a smile and he smiled back and tucked his ears shyly.
"Saka, wake up!" Jasiri said with Alcuthe's voice. Then Everything quickly faded away and Alcuthe's face suddenly appeared.
"Hey, wake up." Alcuthe said once more lightly smacking Saka on his face. "Hey, did you sleep well there lover boy?" He finished.
"L... lover boy?" Saka asked, pretending to be confused, and hoping he didn't talk in his sleep like he almost always does.
"Yeah, you have been saying 'Jasiri, I love you' over and over again, and some other things i'd rather not say, for the past five minutes." Alcuthe informed him and smiled. "What did you do in that dream? It sounds very... interesting." He finished and raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing." Saka said slighlty sternly and then thought of Jasiri's face in the dream, she was so pretty. "Do you think I could have a chance with her?" Saka asked, hoping Alcuthe wouldn't make a joke. But Alcuthe will be serious and honest when someone really needs it. Alcuthe actually did choose to be honest about it.
"Honestly man, I think you could if you really want to and try." Alcuthe began. "I mean, your always nice around pretty much everyone. I'm sure you could find a way to impress her if you wanna be with her." He finished and Saka smiled and thanked him.
"I'm gonna go get some water." Saka said as he stretched and then walked off to find a water hole.
Saka had walked for about ten minutes until he finally reached a watering hole, and slowly sped up to reach his destination. Saka immediately bent down and stuck his whole head in the water to wake him up a little more and he drank while his head was underwater. After a few seconds of non-stop drinking, he finally pulled his head out of the water and breathed in air. He looked down into the water and beside him in the water was...
"Jasiri!" Saka shouted and nearly fell in the water, but caught himself. He then looked at her and blushed lightly. "Sorry I panicked there a little." He finished embarrassingly.
"It's OK Saka." Jasiri began. "I shouldn't have randomly shown up. I was just gonna get some water at my place, but then I saw you and thought I should apologize again. I still feel bad and your still sort of jumpy around me." She finished slightly upset.
"I forgive you, I just don't wanna get on your bad side again." Saka said and smiled.
"So, how does your... You know, feel?" Jasiri asked.
"Alright, I guess. It just hurts whenever I sit down." Saka answered, which he smiled about and she did as well. A few seconds later, two little hyena pups came up from behind Jasiri and looked at Saka, and then hid behind Jasiri in fear.
"Who... who is he?" The young, female cub asked.
"Is he your boyfriend?" The young male then asked, which made Saka blush intensely and smile at the thought. Jasiri just sighed, and smiled as well.
"No, he is not my boyfriend." Jasiri responded and rolled her eyes at the two cubs. "Saka, this is Wema and that is Tunu. Kids, this is Saka." She introduced.
"Hey there." Saka said with a half smile and bent down at their eye level, which they slowly came out from behind Jasiri.
"Wait, are you the one that Jasiri kicked in the..."
"TUNU!" Jasiri interupted Tunu immediately. "Sorry, they're not normally like this." Jasiri explained.
"It's OK, I don't mind at all." Saka replied and looked back at the cubs.
"Can you play with us?" Wema asked as she ran over to Saka and circled him and giggled. Saka then looked up at Jasiri and she smiled and nodded.
"I sure can." Saka answered and the two pups then ordered Saka to follow them and he smiled and did as told. As Saka, Wema, and Tunu walked about fifty feet away and the two jumped all over him, Madoa then shown up and sat next to Jasiri.
"So... Is he alright?" Madoa asked.
"Mhm." Jasiri replied. "I really wish I didn't do that, now that I've actually spoke to him on different circumstances, he seems like the nicest guy in the world." She finished.
"Well, in your defense, you were under attack. It's not your fault, you were protecting yourself." Madoa replied, and it went silent for about a full minute. "I think he may like you Jasiri." She stated, breaking the silence.
"Why do you say that?" Jasiri responded slightly shocked at what she just heard. "I hurt him pretty bad, why would he like me?" She protested.
"Last night, after he awoke, while you and Alcuthe were talking, he was checking you out." Madoa answered. "I know he was scared of you slightly, but the fact that he didn't run in fear when you shown up means he isn't that scared, but he'll listen to you and know his place." She finished and smiled. "Jasiri, how did you and your boyfriend meet? Oh, when I kicked him in his crotch, he just fell in love with me." Madoa answered herself narrating Jasiri in a mocking tone, which made Jasiri smile and blush. "Wait, do you like him?" She asked suddenly, and Jasiri looked at Madoa and then at the ground slightly sad.
"I don't know, I mean he's cute, but I don't know if I like him. Every male I have ever seen has been like our father, cruel, mean, abusive." Jasiri replied in an upset tone, and Madoa laid down next to her down sister.
"Jasiri, look at him." Madoa said and they both looked at Saka with the two cubs. "Does that look mean, cruel, or abusive?" She asked.
"Well, no. It just almost seems to good to be true... And besides, we don't even know if he likes me." Jasiri responded.
"We'll see." Madoa said back and then they both continued watching Saka play with Wema and Tunu joyfully.
Back where Saka and Alcuthe had slept, Simba had just finished explaining everything to Alcuthe about the pridelands and the rules. Alcuthe completely understood, and decently respected what he heard.
"So, if me and Saka abide by these rules, we can live here as long as we want. Is that correct?" Alcuthe asked in order to understand everything.
"That is correct." Simba answered. "And I strongly apologize for the unwelcoming welcome. We had thought you two were part of Janja's clan." He explained.
"Who is Janja?" Alcuthe asked.
"He is the leader of a hyena clan that lives in the outlands in the volcano." Simba responded. "They're one of our main enemies." He finished.
"I'll have to remember that." Alcuthe said and bit down into the Gazelle leg Simba had brought him and Saka.
"Oh, and stay away from Thana." Simba warned. "She is also a leader of another hyena clan, and is evil at it's finest. And she has a huge clan, but can't do much harm to us unless her and Janja's clans unite. But they're both enemies as well." He explained and Alcuthe nodded and continued eating.
"So." Alcuthe began with a mouthful of food and then swallowed. "Is there a cave or something me and Saka could live in by chance?" Alcuthe asked and Simba nodded and shown Alcuthe to their new home. When the two arrived Alcuthe looked at it and was happy at the size, him and Saka had never lived in that big of a cave. Alcuthe thew the leg into the middle and let it lay there for Saka to have the rest, even though there wasn't a lot of flesh left on the bone. Alcuthe finished his examining and turned to Simba. "Thank you for this place, we haven't lived somewhere in a long time." He stated really enunciating 'long'. "I'm gonna go find out where Saka is right now, he's been gone for about an hour, supposedly getting water." He finished. 'probably making out with Jasiri right now' Alcuthe then thought to himself.
"Ok, you two enjoy. I must return home now." Simba replied and both left the cave and headed opposite directions.
Madoa had taken Tuna and Wema away from Saka to give him a break cause he was getting a little tired from all the running. Saka and Jasiri had been sitting side by side and she was telling Saka about how the pridelands worked. Like Alcuthe, Saka had nodded through every sentence and understood completely. Eventually, she explained everything he needed to know, then they decided to ask each other about each others personality and similar things like their favorite food, and things like that. But one certain question really got to Saka.
"So, about your friend Alcuthe. How long have you two known each other?" Jasiri began. "He seems really protective over you." She finished and Saka smiled and thought back.
"Yeah. Me and Alcuthe had known each other almost since birth, but we aren't blood related." Saka explained.
"Do tell more, if you don't mind." Jasiri asked.
"I don't mind at all." Saka started. "So, Alcuthe has never really known his parents. I remember finding him laying on the ground when I ventured off a little to far from my mother. When I found him, he was passed out from exhaustion and was nearing death. It was due to him being abandoned by his parents, but we don't know the exact reason. When my mother had found me, she kinda got mad at me, but ceased yelling when she saw Alcuthe. I asked my mom what was wrong with him and if he was dead. She said he wasn't, but was nearing it, and needed immediate water and food. So she picked him up by the scruff and we headed back to where we lived and she splashed some water on him from the pond we lived next to, which woke him up. He was horrified of us at first, but my mother calmed him down and treated him as a son. Since that day, me and Alcuthe had never left each others side. But, there's one thing about him that he may have acquired from his parents." Saka stated.
"Wow... what is it?" Jasiri asked and Saka looked at her.
"He's a good guy and all, but he can do horrible things. He is insane when he's angry, and very protective, you saw the protective part, but not much of the insane part." Saka explained. "He has killed before, but he did it to save both our lives before." He finished and Jasiri's eyes widened with a little bit of shock.
"Yeah, and I hear he's pretty handsome too." Alcuthe bumped in which scared Saka and Jasiri half to death. When Saka calmed down, he decided to mess around with Alcuthe.
"Man, not one girl ever looked at you and thought 'dang boy, what's your name.'" Saka joked and Jasiri giggled at that.
"That may be true... but that's cause they're speechless due to my amazing beauty." Alcuthe joked as he moved his paw throughout his mane in a goofy manner, which made Saka and Jasiri chuckle. "And what about you Saka? All the ladies that ever saw you thought you had a nice butt." Alcuthe said with an evil smirk, and Saka blushed intensely and Jasiri laughed and 'awed'. "It's true. I remember you asking me at times, being nervous about it and asking if girls really find it attractive." He finished and smiled even more evilly while Saka just buried his red face in his arms and smiled embarrassingly.
"You done yet ya jerk." Saka said teasingly as he lifted up his head, which his face was still lightly red. Alcuthe chuckled and nodded, and then Madoa came over and saw Alcuthe, as did Wema and Tunu and the process repeated. Wema and Tunu, this time, ran and hid behind Saka. "Yeah, go away you bully." Saka joked and Alcuthe grinned.
"Hi Alcuthe." Madoa greeted with a tired smile. "Wema, Tunu, that is Alcuthe, Saka's friend. Alcuthe, this is Wema and Tunu." She introduced the three to each other.
"Can you play with us?" Tunu asked this time.
"How are you two not tired yet?" Madoa asked shockingly.
"It's only mid-day." Wema answered and Alcuthe chuckled lightly.
"Sure, I'll play with you two. Besides, I'm kinda very fun." Alcuthe bragged as he walked over to the two cubs and looked at Saka. "And definitely funner than Saka." He quickly said and walked in triumph and Saka smacked him, accidentally near his butt which made Saka realize he was gonna be stupid again. "Mmmmm, harder." Alcuthe said which made Jasiri and Madoa laugh while Saka just rolled his eyes with a grin.
