Crazy trouble with love
Queen La and Tarzan
Series: Tarzan
xxxxxxxxxxxx
We find ourselves in a lush jungle as a figure swung through it on a vine. He was a teen who was 6'1 with wild brown dreadlocks who swung from vine to vine with ease.
He let go and landed on a branch while walking over to pick some bananas from the tree. He landed at the base of a large tree to enjoy his new found bounty of fruit. Before he could bite into it though, he heard some rustling.
He looked toward the sound and grabbed onto the sharpened rock he carried around. He crouched low and slowly moved towards the sound. He reached some bushes and saw them rustle.
Soon a figure came running out and ended up crashing into the man. They fall to the ground in a tangle of limbs.
"Ow!" groaned the person on him as they sat up and gasped. "Who are you?"
He starts grunting in ape, not understanding her. That's when his eyes widened as he took in the appearance of the person who was a dark skinned woman with long platinum hair with a black top and skirt with an odd staff in her hands.
"Can you not speak?" She asked, confused why he wasn't responding.
He made more ape sounds.
She sighed and said. "Well this isn't getting anywhere." that's when she eyed her staff and grinned. "Maybe magic can solve this." she said before she started to wave her staff.
Tarzan looked at her confused and jumped back seeing the staff glow.
"Calm down, and this won't hurt." she said before Tarzan threw a banana at her. She ducked and frowned before she held the staff out and covered him in a purple beam.
He jumped to dodge but the beam still hit him.
"Looks like we'll do this the hard way." she frowned.
Tarzan fell to the ground expecting pain, but was surprised to find none.
"There, how do you feel?"
"What did you do to me!" He shouted in english. That's when he covered his mouth with wide eyes.
"I've made it so you can speak English." she said proudly. "Go on, say a few more words."
"My name is Tarzan, what is yours?" He asked carefully.
"La. But I'm hoping to add the title of queen to it soon." she smiled with pride.
"Well, if you're hoping to become queen why are you stumbling through bushes in the jungle?" Asked Tarzan.
"I wasn't stumbling, I was...leaving my old tribe." she fibbed at the last part.
"Why were you leaving?" Tarzan asked, not believing her.
"Because they couldn't handle my mystical powers."
"Ok, how did you get those powers anyway?" He asked.
"I studied them on my own from the tribes archive."
"If they were from your archives, why did they make you leave?" Asked Tarzan.
"Because they were jealous of how much power I gathered and feared me." she fibbed again with a frown.
"La, what's the real reason, I can tell you're lying." Tarzan said.
She frowned and looked away. "Fine, they banished me for using forbidden mansion. That's the truth."
Tarzan frowned and asked. "What kind of magic?"
"I immortalized my spirit."
"Huh? What does that mean?" He asked confused.
"It means I can never die." she smirked with pride.
"Why?" asked Tarzan confused.
"So that I can never die." she said, not understanding what he was asking. "But what's wrong with that?"
"Why would you want to live forever? To watch you friends and family grow old and die in front of you while you stayed the same, to have to deal with that forever?" Asked Tarzan, pitying her.
"Oh please, I have no friends or family." she scoffed looking away.
"Really? Why? Everybody needs somebody." he said.
"And what good are they? What use could they possibly give?"
"What can an ant accomplish on its own?" Replied Tarzan.
"Nothing, it would be crushed with ease."
"Same with a single person, people have friends and family because they help them grow stronger." said Tarzan. "Going on in life alone is less fulfilling than you might think."
"So what! That doesn't matter!" She said with tears in her eyes as she realizes the gravity of what she had done. "I don't need anyone!"
"Everybody needs someone! That's how creatures are,'you will eventually get lonely, then what?" Shouted Tarzan.
She frowned and looked away from him. "Well what do you suggest? I can't reverse it and I can't go back home, what do I do?"
Tarzan tapped his chin before smiling. "Why don't you come live with me?"
"Huh?" She asked.
"Why not come live with me and be my friend?"
"B-but we just met!" She said blushing, interpreting what he just said as. "Come be my mate." 'Wow, I didn't know he'd be that bold.'
"It's never too soon to make a new friend." said Tarzan with a smile.
"Uh...are you sure?"
"Yep, come on." he said as he picked her up with one arm and grabbed a vine with another.
She found herself blushing before clinging onto him as he started swinging through the jungle. As they swung through the jungle, La thought about what she was going to do when they arrived.
'What is his family like? Will they accept me like that?' She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice Tarzan land.
"We're here."
La shook herself out of her thoughts to see them surrounded by gorillas. Each one confused at the sight of the woman with others nervous.
"Tarzan? What are you doing? Kerchak is going to kill you!" Terk shouted as she came over towards Tarzan.
"I'm sorry, but I ran into La while looking for food."
"So you decided to bring her back why?" Asked Terk.
"I was wondering if she could stay for a while."
Of course La heard it as. "I want to spend the rest of my life with her." Which made her blush brighter than before.
"Hey Tarzan, I think your friend is sick." said Terk as she saw La turn red.
He turned and looked at La in concern. "La, are you ok?" He asked as he put his hand on her forehead.
"Y-Y-Yes!" she spoke up while moving back. 'Why can't I stop blushing!?' As she backed up she bumped into something very large and hairy and she saw Tarzan look fearful. She slowly looked up and saw a large gorilla glaring down at her. "Hi." she said meekly as she tried to back away toward Tarzan.
"Tarzan. Who is this woman?"
"This is La, I found her in the jungle." he said as La stood behind him.
"She cannot stay, she must leave!"
"She has nowhere to go if she leaves!" Shouted Tarzan.
"So you would put our family at risk?"
"Kerchak, please, she won't hurt anyone." Tarzan pleaded.
The large gorilla glared at Tarzan and then the woman who gulped in fear. "What can she offer the family if we take her in?" Kerchal asked.
"She says she can do magic."
"What kind of magic?" He asked, skeptical of her.
"A-All kinds." she spoke up nervously.
"And how would that help us?" He asked.
"Well...I could keep predators away." she spoke gulping while backing up.
"That is what I'm here for, what else?" He rumbled as he got closer .
"Um, I could heal any injuries."
This caught his interest very fast.
"If anyone gets hurt, I could heal them much faster than any of the plants around here." she continued noticing his interested look.
"That would save a lot lives." said Tarzan.
The others murmured to themselves while Kerchak resumed his frown. "Show me." he said.
"Well I need an injury or else it won't work."
"Come with me." he said as he began to walk towards one of the gorillas.
La was nervous, but Tarzan nodded with a smile and gestured her to follow him. "This is the scariest creature I've ever met." she whispered to Tarzan.
"Just show him what you can do."
She nodded as Kerchak stopped at a gorilla that had along bleeding gash in his arm. "If you can heal him, then you may stay."
La gulped as she approached the gorilla. She held her staff in front of her and started to slowly focus the magic near the tip. The tip of the staff started to glow green as she hovered it over the wound.
Everyone watched as green mist seeped out and started swirling around the gash. Their eyes widened as the wound began to close.
She pulled back as the gorillas moved over and were stunned to see the wound completely gone.
Kurchak sighed and said. "Fine, Tarzan's mate can stay."
La and Tarzan blushed with said male shaking his head. "Kerchak, she isn't my mate!"
"W-W-We're not mates!"
Kerchak simply rolled his eyes and said. "That's the only way I will let a non gorilla into the group, plus you two like each other."
Both blushed brighter.
"Well, I guess we're mates now." La said with a blush.
"I..I suppose so." spoke Tarzan rubbing his head.
"You know the rules, when you mate you do it away from the group." Kerchak said as he walked away.
That just made both of them beet red.
"You better go tell Kala about your new mate." Terk said as she laughed.
"Kala?" La turned to Tarzan confused.
"Kala is my mother, the ape who raised me." Tarzan said as he led her towards her.
'Meaning she would be my mother-in-law.' thought La with dread.
"Relax, she'll love you" said Tarzan, noticing La's nervousness. He patted her back before moving forward and deeper into the jungle.
'I hope she likes me.' La thought as they got closer.
Tarzan and La entered through some vines with a brown furred gorilla sitting on a branch.
"Tarzan, how are you doing and who is this?" She asked.
"Mother, this is La." he introduced the girl.
"Hello, I haven't seen you around before, are you one of his friends?" Kala asked kindly.
"Well, in a way, yes."
"Oh? How so?" Kala asked curiously.
"I became her friend not that long ago, but Kerchak has considered us to be...mates."
Kala blinked for a few seconds before smiling and grabbing La and Tarzan into a bone crushing hug. "Oh I'm so happy!"
La was filled with relief before she had a hard time breathing due to the tight hug Kala was giving her and Tarzan.
"Mother...need air..." got out the jungle man.
"Oh, right." said Kala as she let them out of her hug. "Sorry, I'm just so happy."
"Right, so Kerchak let her join the group since she can use magic." said Tarzan
"Magic?"
"Yep, I can do anything with it!" La said proudly.
"She will help heal anyone who is hurt."
"That's amazing! So are you and her going to the special place?" Kala asked as she chuckled at the face Tarzan made.
"M-Mother!" he blushed while La was curious.
"What's this place she's talking about Tarzan?" La asked as Tarzan's face became beet red.
"It's...uh..."
"It's where mates go to have fun where they won't disturb the rest of the group." said Kala with a grin.
Tarzan looked away while La's face resembled a tomato.
"W-w-what? But we just met!" Sputtered La.
"No need to rush, you can go there anytime you wish."
"Right." said Tarzan, still red in the face.
"Have fun you two." teased Kala walking away on all fours with a smile.
"It's getting late, where do we sleep?" Asked La.
"You can sleep in the same tree I do."
"Ok, but no monkey business." La said playfully.
"I don't get it."
"It's an expression." said La as Tarzan led her to his tree. "Don't worry, you'll understand in time."
"Ok." said Tarzan as they reached his best of leaves. He moved over and took one side while La hesitantly took the other one.
La shivered, not used to sleeping in the open on a bunch of leaves.
"You alright?" he asked seeing her shiver.
"Yeah, just a little bit cold." La said before she felt an arm drape over her and pull her close to something warm.
"Is this better?"
"Yes." said La happily as she snuggled into Tarzan. 'Now this is what I call a warm bed.'
Tarzan held onto his mate and thought. 'I could get used to this.'
