He didn't like cutting through the lions part of the graveyard, aware that lions were bigger. He might handle young ones, or maybe just /one/ lioness, but with a dead rabbit in his jaws, he might lure some attention. But it seemed rather empty, anyways. Just bones, a few faded pawprints... Or maybe not, a light breeze carried a lion scent, one rather familiar.
Now, what lions had he met..
Not many, principally that black female, who rather annoyed him. Maybe it was just a scent of some lion he'd smelled before, but not seen the host. Nonetheless, he slows his trot to make less noise on the thin bones that seemed to carpet the area's cround, even when the larger, elephant bones stuck out greatly across, many elephants had died here, hence the name.
He drops the rabbit soon after, it might weight his load if the need is run. Raising his nose, he tries to identify how close it is, ears pricked and alert.

Indeed, the black lioness of before was present. She stopped in her wanderings about the bones, eyes narrowing. A hyena, crossing through the lion's part of the Graveyard... But it didn't matter, he was getting food. She'd ignore it.
As carefully as possible, she scaled a hill of bones to try and get a good view around her. But being bones piled up, they were unstable. With the wrong step, a few bones slipped, sending the dark queen crashing down the pile and to the ground below.
A groan escaped. "Ow..." She shifted, standing up slowly. "Ugh... I'll feel THAT one in the morning..." Her tail flicked and she stopped. She was, more or less, face to face with the hyena. Her ears twitched a bit, a frown coming to her face. Oh, dear... Hopefully, he'd be kind enough to just... Walk away.

Shocked, the hyena leaps back, lips pulled back in a sneer, the rabbit lay forgotten infront of him. Though, this is replaced with amusement, and his sneer slowly develops into a toothy grin.
"Well, if it isn't miss 'Peace'? "
He lets out one of those funny laugh like sounds hynea's do, ears back incase the lioness might tear forward. Though, when its against her, he might even be keen on a fight; already, living in a territory had got to him, and it was annoying that sense their first meating, were she simply slipped into there, she went out unharmed.
But now, he was here.
What if she wasen't alone? He inhales deeply, she seemed to be the only one alright... Tibuka ha'd grown, and to a lioness, now he seemed like more of a match, and if she wa/this/ clumbsy, he might handle it.
How do lions fight?
His neck cranes in a ready manner, waiting for her next action to decide; attack, taunt, threaten, walk away?
He knew that Mafa woulden't like him running into a lion and doing nothing, so he might as well not look friendly, correct?

He wasn't attacking... Just... Taunting... "Sorry..." She started to move away. "I was just looking out for intruders, is all..." She meant him no harm, it was unneighborly to attack a guest in your lands, after all. A stray bone sent her crashing to the ground again, though, having caught her paw. "Oh.. This is emberassing..." She got up again, favoring the leg while it still rang a bit from both falls.

He moves awy from her slip, not in the mood to tumble down himself. Intruders? Should one look for intruders in their land, even if they also intruded in others? And, hyena's had lived here before ions, so technickly, they were the intruders.
"If that's what your looking for, I suggest you look in a pudle, you'll see one staring you in the face. "
And annoyed sounding growl rustles in his throat, he haden't really been here when lions came, though, his parent's didn't live too far off from the graveyard, and a few of his elderly kin had been around, not many hyenas took kindly to lions, should expect their words to be just as unkind.
He grabs his rabbit and lifts his head in a rather arrogant manner, before starting up the hill, sinking his paws in at any step to not slip, here, light steps weren't good things.

The lioness scowled just a bit. "I was here before you, look in a puddle yourself.." Her paw slipped again on a bone, it going flying and bouncing off a skull. Catching her balance, Ishara watched it hit the hyena, cringing a bit. "Ah.. Sorry about that..." She limped slightly towards one of the many paths, paw slowly feeling better. If someone was to attack, now would have been the time to do it, with her being unable to fight back much.

He turns around, sneering in annoyance.
"I may not have been, but it isn't me that I'm talking about! "
But then, the bone hits him right in the forehead, and he shakes his head in confusion. He knew this was the lioness'doing, but in his eyes, this wasen't the image of a poor clumbsy lioness commiting mistakes(Wich is the true thing, Tibuka is so short-fused with lions. XD); this was the image of an annoying, arrogant lioness toying with him. Though, a flicker of pride swivels through him as he noted that obviously, he's better at going through these bones than she is.
A lowd growl rumbles from his throat, the rabbit dropping once more, he leaps down, landing in a slightly seated position allowing the bones to drag him towards the lioness, and when he's close, he leaps for it, paws pressed against his body to have a better 'flight', only streching when he's in the ground infront of her to intercept the path, she woulden't leave unharmed this time, and he knew he might get on the alpha's good side with this.
Tibuka had chosen an option, and it was fight.

Ishara looked up in time to see the hyena flying at her. Risking her bruised leg, she put pressure on it, intending to run. But it was no use as her leg gave out under her, sending her crashing once again to the ground. She attempted to scramble away, finding it hard to do so. She didn't have the life's experience in the bones like the younger pride members did to make it along the path. Oh, she had made a BIG mistake, indeed.
In her scramblings, one of her hind limbs shot out, connecting with the hyena. Point for her, at least. She hoped that in some way, he'd be stunned and she'd get a lead.

Her paw hit him right on his left cheek, but he spins his nose around and gets a hold of it, biting down with sharp teeth, just in the are between the ankle and the pads. Curving his body, he attempts to pull her back, all while shaking his head to cause more damage. His growl rumbles out through a mouthfull of fur, ears pinned backwards for safety; he didn't need them to fight, anyways.
Though, he dosen't manage to keep the grip for too long before he lets go, hopefully, he'd make this lioness stmble forewards with the sudden freedom. But, she's injured, so speed is on his side, and he already paces a few quck steps forward.

With a roar of pain, the lioness spun around, attempting to catch him with her claws. But she was off balance, claws only grazing past his nose as her leg was let go. Stumbling, she collapsed, unable to use now two limbs. Blood soaked the white sock of her hind leg, seeping into the dirt, the dust, and the very stone of the Graveyard.

The hyena lets a suprized yelp escape as sharp claws rake his nose, that had already been slightly spattered with some of the blood from her paw, even if he haden't managed to get too much out.
Though, his moments pain is replaced by her stumble; perfect. He leaps onto her back, sinking his teeth as deep as he can manage into the left shoulderblade, raking at her side with his hind paws, even if a hyena's claws aren't too sharp. He also attempts to stabalize the front ones on her left arm and right shoulder, so he dosen't go slipping around; but little toes that paws had didn't allow him a very good grip.
Ignoring the taste of blood that is now slipping through his white teeth, Tibuka sets his paws at the lying linoess'side, pushing against he in an attempt to flip onto her belly, letting his grip on her shoulder loosen a bit in the process.

Another roar escaped as Ishara struggled. Her paws scraped uselessly at the ground, blood pouring from her wounds into the dirt. Rolling slightly, she attempted again to wound the hyena, this time her claws catching him more than before. She had to fight back, keep her pride about her...

The hyena hold back a yelp and claws grip onto his shoulder, but not her stomach is vulerable, he pulls away, then lashes front paws at her stomach, raking them once or twice before pulling away again to evoid the lioness'rather large paws. Thats it! Disable the /paws/ first. The hynea swings his head towards one of her front paws, biting onto it as well as he can, not caring to see if it was the already injured or not, he'd get them both anyways!
Tibuka arches his head backwards with his grip, and pushes her shoulder away with his paws to do more damage, the more he did with the paws and shoulders, the less chance of her getting a good grip on him.

Pain, excruciating pain. Flailing about, the dark lioness' paw moved to strike the hyena again, catching in his face. Oh, she was going to leave HIM damanged, too! Her hind paws kicked, trying to shove him off. Or at least one did. But it was getting to be no use, she could feal her strength ebbing away slowly as more blood escaped her body. In a desperate move, she leaned up to bite the attacking beast, hoping to wound him further.
