He smiled to the lioness and looked back at Nala.
"Well if the pride knows you and Simba then I guess thats good" Twilight smiled.

''I know, but we haven't seen Simba for days'' she sighed. ''I kinda miss him'' she said sadly. A few mins later she perked up ''I should have a say, as Queen'' she laughed jokingly. ''I'm glad you don't wanna send her back'' she smiled. ''It would be nice for me to have a female friend to talk too... even if she is just a cub'' she smiled softly before looking towards Naeri and looking back at Twilight.

Nala spotted Scout and smiled ''over here'' she called softly.

Scout walks over to the lioness cautiously.

"UHHHHHHHHHHH Hi name is uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Scout" Scout says feeling a little bit nervous around strangers. He hoped Kara wouldn't mind him wandering off.

Nala stepped back but kept an eye on Scout, just to make sure he was ok. ''Anything you need Scout just come see me, you know where to find me'' she smiled letting him talk to the new cub.

Scout walked up to the new cub with a big smile on his face. "Hi, my name is Scout what's yours?

{OOC: NTL I'm just a little bit confused this new cub is the cub you play as right? I am truly sorry I am just really slow}

He goes back to his one and only girlfriend Kara. He walks back over to Kara and licks her on the nose. "Hey ya miss me?" Scout says.

{{Nope - new cub is played by MoS and called Kaeri :-) hope that clears things up for ya - no need to be sorry :D }}

(( Naeri, hun. ;) I'm working on your avvie, toying with a couple ideas I have, but I'll get it perfect soon enough. ^_^ ))

Naeri shook her head as Nala asked if she was of Scar's lot, looking confused. However, when Nala granted her permission to stay/their ruse worked. And, she asked surprised when she found out this lioness was the Queen. She bowed to her. "Thank you for your kindness, Queen." She smiled. "Daddy says I'm a little mature for my age - I won't mind chatting with you. They're the only adults I know, and granddad gets a bit boring..." She motioned to Shakou and Sengalo. "He always tells story about his childhood."

When the other cub approched her, she smiled wider. "Nice to meet you, Scout! My name's Naeri."

Sengalo cursed in his head when Scout appeared. He began backing off. He knew the orange cub could ruin the plan. "Uhh... I'll be watching...from over there...princess..." he muttered to Naeri and walked off a few yards from the group. Hopefully, he wouldn't raise suspicion. He would have to keep an eye on Scout.

Naeri glared over her shoulder at Sengalo then turned again and blinked as Scout walked off. Well, that was fast. She blinked again then shrugged and sat down slowly, watching Sengalo walk off. I don't blame him. Nala was still nearby, as was the other lion, but she didn't know if it would be alright for her to simply walk off. She waited for the next move to be made, hoping Shakou would pull her away from the small gathering.

Shakou noticed Scouts rather quick apperance, as the lion walked off the black lion sighed with reliefe. Seeing the lions gather around Naeri and that the lioness cub was beginning to get uncomfortalbe. "Naeri!!.." Shakou called after her, What to say... what to say.. the words raced through Shakou's mind. "Naeri come... let go and find something too eat.." Shakou said as he stood smiling at Nala before looking down at the cub....

---

Star saw the lion stand up, and she took a step back. He had seen her, and she locked eyes with him. No, he wasn't wearing the necklace of the Nova pride. He didn't even look familiar to her. She saw another lion look up at her, and she lowered herself to the ground.

'oh great. What did I get myself into....' she thought.

She turned around slowly and started walking away, hoping they wouldn't come after her or want to make conversation. How could she have thought anyone would be alive after what happened....

Sengalo looked over at the new lioness again, a better view catching his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slighlty and tilted his head as he saw he walk off. Odd... he thought must be another loner or something.

"'Kay, grandpa!" She smiled to everyone then followed behind Shakou, shuddering lightly. She bounded to Sengalo and sat down next to him, muttering quietly under a small smile. "If I ever have to smile like that again I'll claw someone's eye out." She looked at the gathering then at Shakou, resisting the urge to make faces and growl more curses. The Pridelanders could still see her, after all, and could maybe hear her too. She does, however, say ?Thanks?? quietly to both of them.

----------

Scar continued to walk slowly through the plains, pausing as the wind drifted voices to his ears. He moved slowly in that direction, not recognizing any of them but still hopeful. He crested a small ridge then pauses and sat down, studying the gathering a distance from him.

His eyes first rested on the unmistakable form of Nala and a slow smirk worked its way to his face. He recalled that day he tried to get her so long ago and frowned thoughtfully. How such a delicate and well-deserved prize had slipped through his claws still confused him. A longing look came to his eyes as he studied her, but it quickly vanished. His nephew had claimed his prize, and Scar had his ? but where she was, he didn?t know.

The larger male was a worry to him, so he stood to continue his search before another form he knew all too well greeted his vision. He froze in mid-step, staring at the huge black form as recognition dawned on him. He put his paw back down slowly, studying the black lion?s face. The eyes? He remembered the eyes so well from distant memories he had buried after his fall. A small growl rose, but he suppressed it and instead began to make his way slowly down the hill to greet his old mentor.

Shakou bowed his head slitely as he heard Naeri wisper her curses, "I couldn't agree more.." Shakou said wispering. "I gives me cramps.." the black lion added before he turned and began to walk off away from Nala and the unknown male motioning for both Naeri and Sengalo to join him. Walking through the savanna as he finally got away from the small gathering. The black lion halted in his tracks, sniffing the light breeze he caught a familiar sent as he turned to a nearby deserted hill. "Wait here..." he said quickly to Naeri as he turned towards the hill and followed the sent through the long savanna grass and dry brush...

When the other cub approched her, she smiled wider. "Nice to meet you, Scout! My name's Naeri."

---

His eyes widen Scout had known he heard this name before . "You know these guys?" Scout asked in amazement. Thing was this cub didn't seem dangerous at all nothing like Sengalo and Shakou it seemed there was a certain vibe he got from them which showed they hated his guts and if he ever stepped out of line they'd kill him. He didn't see this evil at all in Naeri.

Scout smiles back.

"Uhhh, remember that time when you thought someone was over hearing your discussion that was me I swear though I didn't hear much I just some how got lost and over heard just a few things"

Edit: Scout wanted to go back to see this cub but Sengalo and Shakou they seemed to hate him and want him dead. As soon as that cub was not around either of them he had to go up to her and apoligise.

Kovujin yawned at the Waterhole, He stretched a bit, then he picked up a scent, it was strong, the scent of a Lioness. It smelt.. Familiar.. He nuzzled Nela, "I'll be right back," Kovujin said walking in the Direction the scent was coming from, not long had he walked when he spotted a black lioness. He stayed undercover and crouched low to the ground, following her, he wanted to see who this lioness was.

Kara got bored and went after Scout, She started to sniff the air, she found his scent and followed it.. After a while she came up to a place and She saw Scout, a lioness, a yellow lion, Sengalo, and another lion, with a cub. She bounded up to scout, "Who are all these Lions?" Kara asked curiously.

"Kara this is Nairi, Shakou and Queen Nala. "I just met them they're real nice."

Sengalo couldn't help but laugh at Naeri's comment. "Sure," he said with a smirk, "you go ahead and do that!" At being motioned to follow, Sengalo gave a nod to Nala and Twilight and left after Shakou and Naeri. He was about to joke to Shakou about claiming to be the princess's grandfather, but didn't get the chance. He arched an eyebrow slightly and tilted his head when Shakou told them to stay put and walked off on his own. Just then, a strange scent blew passed his nostrils. It was a new scent, yet, somehow, vaguely familiar, and it was very close to his own. He remained standing, surveying around him and Naeri with curious, yet suspicious eyes.

His attention became distracted momentarily when he heard Scout pipe up. His ears only twitched in the cub's direction, and merely glanced at him through the corner of his eye. He was about to question what the cub heard, but this new presence kept him from doing so.

Kara looked at the lions, "oh I see, Hi i'm Kara, I already know you" Kara said winking at Sengalo. She turned to the other lioness, "Your the queen?" Kara asked, "How cool" Kara said with a smile.

"Yeah isn't it?" Scout said in agreement. "These guys are really cool" Scout yawns and stretches his claws.

(( Naeri, Shakou, and Sengalo aren't on or near Pride Rock, guys... ))

Naeri followed Shakou away from the gathering. ?Tell me about it,? she murmured back. She paused as Shakou suddenly ran off and sat down, looking after him. ??I wonder where he?s going?? She looked up to Sengalo.

-------

Scar sat down slowly, watching Shakou?s approach with a stone face. His acid eyes showed little emotion; the old lion was torn between joy and rage. He knew Shakou?s role in his death, and he also knew that this lion was one of his only chances for surviving. And as much as he wanted to strike out with all the force left in his body and give his mentor something to remember him by, he resisted.

He instead sat still, hiding his aggravation. Reforming a bond with Shakou would help assure his safety and, hopefully, lead him to Zira. With the two of them and the loyals he undoubtedly knew he had he would be able to begin planning again to claim his throne.

And this time, of course, Simba would not escape.

((Uhh... You know that Shakou, Sengalo, and Naeri left, right?:confused:

Yee! There's going to be a reunion!*excited*:D))

"Oh really"? Scout said in amazement. He was surprised because he had heard that Shakou had mentored Sengalo. ANd anyone who did that must be cool. "Well it's nice to meet you". Scout said with a bow of his head.

((@ Kovujin: Yes, but then her and Twilight left. That's when they saw Sengalo and them.

@ Simba22: Ha, that's funny. "He was surprised because he had heard that Shakou had mentored Sengalo. ANd anyone who did that must be cool." So now Scout thinks Sengalo is cool...?XP))

((ooc:I see now. i'm not so lost in the world of RP anymore you stop posting as much and you forget everything that happens lol.. ))

((That's where reading comes in.;):D))

{Correction He Heard Nairi talking about Shakou. And Scout thought Shakou was cool for teaching Sengalo. :cheese: }}

((ooc: Well I read them, but then someone will edit it and put vital information in and I don't go back and look for edited posts :S So thats where it gets me hehe))

EDIT:

Kara looked at Scout, "Well, I'm going back to my dad and mom, You can hang out here if you want" Kara said giving Scout a lick on the cheek.

Scout smiles at her and licks her cheek back. "We can hang out a little more later Kara"

Kara smiled, She turned around from Scout and started heading back to the waterhole, "Stay safe Scout" Kara said smiling back at him.

Scout smiles back. "Always Kara" He says. See ya later Scout says.

Kara smiled at Kara ''hello'' she said politely in her friendly tone

Kara looked back to see Nala talk, "Oh sorry," She walked back up to Nala, "hehe, hello Queen Nala" Kara said bowing her head.

((No I don't think they are...:D ))

Shakou looked up as he heard rushle a head of him, as he approched a lion came into his view and old and scarred lion. The look on lions face was as emotionless and firm as the as rock beaten against the waves of the wast sea. Straiting himself the black vampire eyed the old male before him, he said nothing just looked at him with the same emtionless face. They looked like a strange and twisted mirror image to eachother. Suddenly after seemingly endless slience the black lion finally spoak, "Scar..." he said causiously. It can't be him... I saw him die... Shakou thought in disbelife looking upon his old yet mighty lion who sat before him, even though continous erosion from the sands of time had began to show it's apperance on him his eyes was still shineing with the same youth and pride as it had those many, many ages ago. "Scar...??" the black lion asked again with the same casual voice. The master and the apprentice was reunited...

Scar?s ear twitched as Shakou called him by his name. He studied his mentor for a long time before he spoke quietly, although no formality came from him. ?Shakou, my old friend.? Despite his words his face remained unchanged, although his eyes still danced with fire. He looked past him, wondering who else was going to pop up and surprise him, then drifted his gaze back to Shakou.

It was the same lion he remembered, no doubt, and he had barely aged. Time had changed himself, but not the lion he had called master in a previous life. A small smirk found its way onto Scar?s muzzle, a wicked gleam in his eyes. No? Shakou was ageless. At least in Scar?s lifetime, he would be. Even after Scar died, he would remain handsome and youthful for many years. And although he was envious, Scar would never admit it outright.

Besides, he thought he had aged rather gracefully, given the circumstances of his past.

?I am surprised to see you. I thought you had left long ago to find a new apprentice.? And this wasn?t a lie ? news had been carried to his adopted pride of the black lion leaving the Pridelands, although seeing him now Scar wondered what the truth was behind the tale.

Star stopped and looked around. Was someone following her? Her gray pelt rustled in the winds that swirled around her.... her father's spirit was with her once again. She felt the urge to turn back... but she knew she should leave the lands before she caused any trouble. She turned and walked away, hanging her head.

Kovujin followed the Lioness, He didn't know if she meant harm, or was just lost, she seemed.. Lost, and a lot of other things that Kovujin could describe her as. He walked up and forgot to look out for things in his path and stepped on a twig , -snap!- Kovujin stood standing still, maybe she didn't hear it, no she heard it, who couldnt. He just stood there looking left and right for a place to hide, he was in small grass so he couldn't crouch down. crap, good job Kovujin, he thought to himself.

Star quickly turned around to see a black lion with a golden mane looking embarressed and standing in the grass behind her. Star didn't know what to do.... he was much bigger than she was, and more muscular... he could take her down in no time. Star's agility had built up over the months, and it was the only thing she could rely on if she were to fight. Being only an adolescent, she still might not have a chance. Maybe he was there to tell her to get out....

"I was just leaving...." she said quietly, wanting to turn around and run somewhere, somewhere far from here. She kept calm, however, and showed no fear.... but no bravery, either.

Kovujin walked up to her, calmy showing no signs of fear, or anger as to not scare her, she was obviously alone in the world. "Why do you want to leave so bad?" Kovujin asked, "oh, and before I forget, My names Kovujin" Kovujin said with a smile.
