Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tuk huffed more, flurrying his hair on his head a bit. So bored....nothing to do. He looke d down and noticed Kicheko. He watched her silently, taking her in. She was oodly patterened. Strange markings, red eyes....interesting. Maybe he'd follow her around for a while. Nothing better to do.

Mafa losened up a bit, she saw that this cub was no more scared than she was. Her head rose and tilted to the side. What was he afraid of? Surely not Banzai! Why, Banzai was the nicest hyena she had ever met! She chuckled as the cub stuttered something about a birdie boiler, they didn't have those around here.... Did they? She shook her head and grinned a bit, no longer fearing this pitiful cub. Her green eyes peered up at Banzai sweetly,

"Lets take him with us! Just lookit him, he's a wreck!" Her eyes then shifted to the cub, "He can be my little pet!"

She laughed shrilly at her last comment, ever since she started following Banzai around, she found that her laughs just kept getting better and better. She grinned at Banzai,

"Whaddaya say?"

Taabadu eyed the retreating Hyena carefully. Pssh, fuzzwad. He scoffed at this nickname. If only his stupid brother hadn't got in a fight with him.... But no, dad always sided with brother. Taabadu stood, forcing a flinch out of Mafa. He then walked a little to the left and watched her head follow him closely, he walked to the right, and still her little head followed. He caught a glimpse of her tail. Not much of a tail he had to say, but the little black tuft raced quickly back and forth. He turned his head in confusion. Hyenas were so hard to understand, but maybe if he acted like them, they would be more willing to help. So he wagged his skinny tail back and forth, the end tuft rustling. It was hard! How did they do it so fast? He heard a strange noise come from Mafa.

"Umm, my name is Taabadu! Nice..to....meet you?" She didn't look like she comprehended very well, but it was up to her whether he would live or die, so he had to at least make an attempt to socialize.

The hyena's ears began to droop. Bloody pup... He wasn't going to get his meat, was he? If he brought back a pup that was angry at him, he was just going to get kicked or growled at. There wouldn't be any meal for him. It would be that stupid lions fault... Whiney brat. He quickly thought up a proposition and turned his paws on the dead earth to face both of them.

"He can come, but I have no food for him. He can't make a single noise and if he does, you can bet it will be CATastrophic." The adult brought his nose up to Taaba's face, giving it one quick sniff. Ew... That wasn't exactly the best fragrence. Breathing outward quickly, he made a snuffing noise, causing the cub's hair to fly up.

He turned his back again to them and started heading off in the direction he'd been anticipating on heading. "Remember, kid, I don't want to even know you exist."

Taabadu picked up a few words here and there. He just nodded slightly and followed the little hyena, never taking his watery eyes off the black tuft that was her tail. He did pick up the word "quiet" so he put his soft paw pads to good use, making sure each bone was sturdy enough to stand on. And why were these hyenas making strange faces when they sniffed him? They didn't smell to jolly themselves. Taabadu started to get nervous as he followed the two predetors. The bone structures were getting bigger, and the high pitched laughs became louder....

((this post shall be replaced witha reply. damn work! *shakes fist* Just letting you know that I am reading things. n.n;; ))

Banzai grumbled to himself. Rotten fleabag lion... Maybe he should kill it. He had absolutely no plans of feeding it. It was hard enough to find food for himself, and another mouth wasn't what he was looking for.

Another problem was the fact that he had no leads to where Mafa's clan could be. For all he knew, they had lived on the edge of the graveyard. The pup wasn't much help. She didn't remember anything about the location of them. Maybe the more they traveled the more familiar places they would pass and her memory would be jogged. Maybe they would come across an endless field of carcasses, and there would be no need to find her parents because he'd have all the food he could ever eat, and the cub wouldn't complain. And maybe he was using REALLY wishful thinking.

Over another pile of bones he trotted. He didn't listen to see if they were following, nor did he turn around. If they weren't, he'd know soon enough because her annoying yet adorable voice would completely vanish. Then he could begin his search for Shenzi. It wasn't unusual for Ed to wander off, and he almost always came back. But he would be no good looking for Ed alone. It was Shenzi he seemed to bother more, therefore providing her with the location of all his favorite things, like bugs and rocks and... bugs on rocks. He shook his head slowly to himself, unknowingly slowing down his pace.

Awww, little baby needed a break... In a very familiar gesture, Banzai plopped his rear down. However, he unsuspectingly landed on a rib jutting from the ground... His teeth clenched together tightly. If he were to howl out, his figure of authority would be lost. ...Like he had one. No holding back now, Banzai leapt into the air, his paws clenching onto his butt. A shrill screech echoed through the graveyard.

When he landed, he was lucky enough to have changed position to a smoother piece of land (For no patch of dirt in the graveyard was perfectly smooth). Stretching his paws infront of him, he began pulling himself around in a circle in order to ease the pain that stabbed into his rectum. When he felt it had subsided enough, he shook himself off and his look of pain was replaced with twitching anger.

Mafa was the victim of this look. "Don't. Say. Anything." Seating himself again- and this time looking before he sat- his tone changed and he glanced back to make sure that the lion cub was there. Yep. He glanced around the wasteland to see where they were. This was his favorite picnic spot, coincidentally. Staring out at a large femur bone, he spoke not so obviously to Mafa.

"Alright, tell me. Does any of this look familiar? Would you be able to tell me where you came from from here?"
