Chapter Two: The Rift Deepens
The next day, Kion and Fuli were still mad at each other. Whenever they bumped into each other, they avoided eye contact. Fuli would flick her tail at Kion just to annoy him, and he would growl in response.
Fuli: "Hey, Kion." She said with a smirk, flicking her tail at him.
Kion: *growls angrily* He growled, clearly irritated.
Meanwhile, in the Lion Guard lair, Bunga, Beshte, and Ono were discreetly discussing the ongoing tension between Kion and Fuli.
Bunga: "This isn't good. Kion and Fuli won't even look at each other." He said, worried.
Ono: "We gotta do something. If this goes on, it'll tear the Guard apart." He added.
Beshte: "Maybe we can talk to them separately and try to patch things up." He suggested.
Bunga: "Great idea, Beshte. Okay, you guys talk to Fuli, and I'll talk to Kion." He agreed.
Suddenly, outside the lair, there was a commotion.
Fuli: "Owww!" She cried out.
Kion: "Owww!" He echoed.
Bunga, Ono and Beshte: "Uh oh." They said in unison.
Then Fuli angrily walked into the lair, her tail swishing furiously.
Fuli: "I can't believe you bit my tail!" She exclaimed.
Kion: "That's because you wouldn't stop flicking it at my face!" He retorted.
Fuli: "Well, I did enjoy biting yours. So, ha ha!" She shot back.
Kion stormed out of the lair in a huff, while Fuli went to her spot, fuming.
Bunga: "Okay, let's talk to them now!" He whispered.
They all went to talk to Fuli and Kion. Bunga walked outside the lair to catch up with Kion.
Bunga: "Hey Kion, can we talk?" He asked.
Kion: "Sure, what is it?" He responded, still upset.
Bunga: "Umm…It's about you and Fuli. You two have been arguing a lot lately." He hesitated before continuing,
Kion: "I know, but Fuli can be stubborn sometimes. And she also doesn't listen to me." He admitted.
Bunga: "Maybe Fuli was trying her best on yesterday's mission." He suggested.
Kion:"I guess, but she still needs to listen when it matters." He said.
Bunga: "Yeah, but she's still part of the Guard. Maybe you should try talking to her, she might understand." He encouraged.
Meanwhile, Ono and Beshte approached Fuli.
Ono: "Hey Fuli, can we talk to you?" He asked.
Fuli: *sighs* "Okay, what do you want to talk about?" She sighed and flicked her tail irritably.
Beshte: "We know that you've been arguing with Kion a lot lately." He said gently.
Fuli: "I know, but he can be so bossy sometimes." She replied.
Ono: "I mean, Fuli, Kion's still our leader. So, I think it would be fair if we all listened to him." He reasoned.
Fuli: "Yeah, but sometimes I like to do things in my own way." She admitted.
Ono: "Maybe you should try talking to him." He suggested.
Beshte: "Yeah, I'm sure he'll understand." He added.
Before Fuli could decide to talk to Kion, they heard evil laughter outside the lair. Kion and Bunga rushed into the lair with urgent news.
Kion: "Lion Guard! There's trouble, and we have to stop it!" He announced.
Ono: "Hapana!" He exclaimed.
Bunga: "Let's go kick some bad guys' butts." He said enthusiastically.
Beshte: "You said it, Little B." He agreed.
Fuli didn't say anything, still mad, but instead gave Kion a silent nod. Kion took that as an okay. They all raced to face the trouble ahead.
