plants. “Let’s swim!” exclaimed Prince as he leaped in. Kiungo joined him and they splashed around until Prince felt something moving around his paws.

“Stop that Kiungo!” said Prince.

“I’m not doing anything.” Kiungo defended.

Prince was confused. He put his head underwater and saw a fish.

“Why it’s a fish!” he said as he bit it and swallowed it whole.

Kiungo started to get hungry after seeing Prince eat so he stuck his head underwater and bit a fish and like his cousin, he swallowed it hole.

Unexpectedly, the two cubs heard a loud splash and then a laugh.

Prince saw a scrawny adolscent lion chuckling in a tree high above. His dark black mane was almost fully grown and his hair was scruffed, blood stained and filthy.

Prince and Kiungo swam over to where they heard the splash.

A teen female lioness Kiungo’s age came out of the lake gasping for breath. Kiungo saw her and it was love at first sight.

“Are you all right?” Kiungo asked.

“I’m fine.” She said slowly. She walked slowly out of the jungle.

Kiungo ran up to her. How could he let love slip out of his paws so quick?

“Hey where are you going?” questioned Kiungo.

“I’m a rouge.” She said “I go everywhere.”

“Really? Same with me and my cousin, Prince.” Kiungo said.

The young lioness stopped running.

“Really?” she asked.

“Really.” Confirmed Kiungo “You can join us. We’re probably going to Mali.”

“I’ll join!” the cub exclaimed.

“Good. So, what’s your name?” asked Kiungo.

“Nyota.” She replied “What’s yours?”

“Kiungo.” He answered “Nyota, my cousin Prince, and I are going to stay in the jungle for a while. Just thought you’d want to know. And who was that lion that pushed you?”

“Some stupid rouge.” She said rolling her eyes. She hated that rouge. He always stalked her.

“Oh,” said Kiungo “Want a fish?”

“Sure! I’m starved.” She answered.

Kiungo jumped in the water making a big splashed that got Nyota’s golden fur wet. He swam around searching for a fish. He saw a huge bass as long as his tail. He bit it and brought it up to Nyota.

Their paws brushed.

“Uh-um” Kiungo didn’t know what to say. He didn’t want to tell Nyota that he liked her. He smirked a bit.

Nyota slowly ate the massive bass.

Prince was furious once again. He secretly liked her too. But, he also liked Kitisha. He knew he didn’t have a chance to be with either of them. Kitisha always played with Mkuu and if they were financed, Kitisha would become Queen. They were both older than him anyway.

No one would want to love me. I’m just a Prince that will never become King. He thought How could she fall in love with that jerk? He wondered.

Kiungo caught a small sardine and as always, swallowed it hole.

Sunrise soon came.

Kiungo walked over to Nyota.

“Let’s escape this jungle and leave Prince here.” Whispered Kiungo.

“How could we do such a thing? How could you leave your cousin here?” she growled.

“Well I thought you didn’t like him!” he replied. “I wanted to make you happy.” He murmured under his breath.

Nyota nudged Kiungo.

“Maybe tomorrow.” She said.

“Good night.” Kiungo said as he licked her muzzle.

She blushed and licked him back.

“Good night.” Nyota whispered back.

Prince was asleep in a tree already.

Kiungo and Nyota found a nice patch of grass. They slept until dawn.

Chapter 7 At Bora:

Back at the Bora Pride, King Julian, Queen Foxy, Prince Mkuu, Princess Kifalme, Prince Kasa, and Princess Feline searched for their youngest brother, Prince.

“Prince!” they called out. There was no response only their echo of sorrow.

“Prince probably went to the gorge again.” Said Kasa. He hopped off to the gorge and slowly walked down its steep hill.

“Kasa! STOP!!” Julian commanded.

Kasa ignored him. He cherished his little brother. Mkuu was always being bossy and he always played with Prince.

Julian bolted up to his son and pulled him back with his colossal sized paw.

Kasa tried to get out of Julian’s firm grasp.

“Father, STOP!” he growled. “I need to find Prince.” Immediately, he got out of the King’s paw and ran to the desert.

King Julian ran after him.

“STOP!!!” he roared.

Kasa kept running and running and started slowing down. He was out of energy. He lied down in the warm sand.

Julian was still far away from his son because of his error in navigating himself through the gorge.

Vultures surrounded Kasa. They flew around in a circle. And Shadow came once again.

   Chapter 8: ‘Ceromony’s’ Rescuer

Kasa had fainted when the vultures were surrounding him therefore, he didn’t know another lion was present.

Shadow scared away the vultures showing his massive teeth and his abusive claws.

“Fuvu!” he called.

A lioness his age appeared.

“Yes Shadow,” she replied.

“We’ve found a new member.” Shadow laughed.

Fuvu grabbed Kasa by the back and carried him to a dark shadowy (not Shadow) land.

Fuvu plopped him in a wooden hollow sphere that was in the center of a cave filled with other lionesses.

As he was plopped in, he awoke.

Filthy lionesses surrounded him. He could not escape.

Fuvu took a strong vine and wrapped it around Kasa’s stomach and the wooden ‘chair’ (using her teeth) so he was stuck there.

He tried clawing the vine then, Fuvu tied his paws together (again with her teeth). He tried biting it so, Fuvu tied a vine around his muzzle.

“He’s prepared. Time for the ‘ceromony’” she chuckled.

The other lionesses roared in agreement.

She took Kasa off the wooden ‘chair’ and carried him in her mouth.

She brought him to the elephant graveyard (which was quite a long journey) where her friend was there to help her.

“Oh Kasim, good you’re here. Get Tamu. The ‘ceromony’ will begin soon.” She laughed.

Kasim nodded his head and went far out to the ‘boneyard’.

“Tamu.” He called.

A large dark furred gorilla appeared.

“What?” he grunted.

“The ‘ceromony’ will begin soon.” Chuckled Kasim. Soon enough, Tamu laughed along with him and they went back to the cave.

“Hello Fuvu.” Tamu greeted.

“Hello Tamu.” Replied Fuvu “Here is the cub.” She dropped Kasa on the hard rock ground. He moaned.

“Oh, shut up you wuss.” Growled Kasim.

Tamu took Kasa and grabbed some sticks. He took two two foot long sticks and placed them around the sides of the ‘cubbie boiler’ and put another stick on top of those.

He tied Kasa to the stick that was being held up.

Slowly, Tamu lowered the rope and Kasa got closer and closer to the scorching lava.

He knew he would his time would come.

Suddenly, Kasa heard a mighty roar.

It was King Kali! He roared again.

“Kasim!” he growled. “You’re killing an innocent cub? How could you!”

“I-uh- um-“ Kasim was struggling with his words.

“SILENCE!!” roared Kali. He bolted, jumped over he lava and grabbed Kasa with his mouth. He tore out of the elephant graveyard and brought him to the Pridelands.

“You’re staying here.” Kali softly commanded.

Kiungo appeared out of the cave. 

He growled. “Get out of here! This his my cave! My land (*growl growl growl*)!”

“Your father rescued me and commanded my to stay here.” Defended Kasa.

Rafiki and Kali came out of the cave.

“Why I know you! I healed your elder friend!” exclaimed Rafiki “Kali, this cub lives in the Bora Pride.”

“I’ll take him home.” Said Kali. He grabbed Kasa with his mouth and brought him home.

Julian struck Kali in the jaw making him drop Kasa.

“WHY WOULD YOU CAPTURE THIS CUB!?!?!?!” roared Julian.

“FATHER!” growled Kasa “King Kali saved me!”

“King?” Julian laughed. “He’s an old brute!”

“I’m a KING!” growled Kali. “I rule the Pride lands!”

“Oh,” said Julian softly.

Kali trotted away back home.

“Kasa!” growled Julian.

“Yes Father,” Kasa said softly. He knew he was in DEEP trouble.

“Go in the cave.” Julian said.

Kasa didn’t move.

“NOW!” Julian raged.

Kasa bolted off to the cave and went to the deepest darkest corner and lay down.

The sun was slowly setting as Kasa’s eyes closed at the same pace.            

Chapter 8 Rendezvous:

The sun was setting as slow as a snail. Prince slept in the same tree as the night before.

Kiungo nudged Nyota.

“Rendezvous?” asked Kiungo.

She nodded her head.

Kiungo and Nyota slowly tiptoed out of the jungle. They soon started to run quickly and their paws moved rapidly.

Kiungo and Nyota ran out of the jungle and soon reached a small grassland.

Panting, Kiungo and Nyota lied down on the soft grass and relaxed.

“Are you hungry?” Kiungo asked.

“No.” Nyota answered.
