Dikeledi was not pleased. She had just delivered her own cubs. They were still too small to leave the den, which meant she was stuck with them until they were a little older. The stupid lion slave was gone, and her sister was off somewhere, taking care of her own pups and hopefully getting them some food.

So Dikeledi was stuck, taking care of her young on her own. She did NOT need an extra annoyance. Kepo was that annoyance. The little male was infatuated with her, sneaking in to see her whenever possible. Nothing she could say or do would get rid of him.

Right now he was dangling from her jaws by the scruff of his neck, chatting happily to her. Dikeledi stomped along until she saw the wretched striped hyena that had spawned her nephew. She dropped Kepo to the ground. "Take care of this," she snapped, turning and stalking back to her den without a backward glance.


Kepo's good mood was instantly fouled. He had been having a good time with Auntie Dikeledi. A GREAT time. She had her own pups, but they were small and ugly and not nearly as amazing as he was. And he was right there in her den to make sure she knew it, too. When she had taken him outside he was thrilled. Yes, she knew he was better than those fleabags! He was her real son, not them.

And now ... now he was sitting in the dust staring at the smelly ugly hyena that was his supposed 'father'. Kepo's little face twisted into a scowl as he glared up at the scraggly beast. "Ugh."

Bekeli did a little two-step of nervousness as he stared after Dikeledi. He didn't want to have to "take care of this" -- quelling the urge to whine after her, Bekeli peered down at his disapproving son. It was just fine with Bekeli if the little brat didn't like him; Bekeli didn't quite like any of his pups, either. The ones that left him alone were the ones he was most fond of; this was one of those pups. What was his name again? Kiko? Kipa?

Kepo. That's right, Kepo. With a sigh-whine of resignation, Bekeli forced a little smile, one that showed a few too many teeth and didn't quite reach his eyes. "Hello," he whined, curling his lips as if the greeting itself tasted foul. He would rather spend time with that stupid lioness Manyara than deal with his own pups. While Bekeli had come to tolerate his pups, he was still absolutely uncertain about them.

Kepo didn't care if the smelly ugly hyena didn't like him. He didn't like Bekeli. Not one bit. He curled his lip scornfully at the greeting. Bekeli was totally useless. Kepo couldn't imagine what Bekeli could do that would entertain him. At least the stupid lioness was cleaner.

Bekeli was awful in every way.

Summoning up all of his haughtiness and female-ness, Kepo drew himself up to his full height, which admittedly wasn't very impressive. He glared sternly up at the adult male. "You're 'spose to do what I say. I'm tellin' you to take a bath, you dirty ole hyena."

Wait, what? Bekeli squinted his eyes at his son; did the boy really think that Bekeli was supposed to do everything that he said? Part of him laughed inwardly; the stupid git didn't realize that he was in a lower position than Bekeli was! Hah! Raising his eyebrows at his son, the fake smile on his lips faltered and a rather mean little scowl twisted Bekeli's face.

"You are stupid," Bekeli growled; even the growl sounded like a whimpery little whine. "You are a male; we listen to the females. Or... are you a little girl now?" Annoying brat.

Kepo's eyes bugged out of his head. Had this horrible, pathetic, decrepit example of hyenahood actually called him stupid? He swelled up with righteous indignation, fur puffing out. "I'm not stupid!" Kepo's voice was shrill, furious. "You're stupid! You're ugly, and dumb, and I hate you!"

The little hyena whirled around and began to run for Dikeledi's den. "And I'm TELLING!" He yelled over his shoulder. "I'm gonna TELL you were MEAN TO ME and then Auntie Dikeledi's gonna GET YOU!"

Bekeli snorted, completely unconcerned that his son was off to tattle on him. If Bekeli knew Dikeledi, and he liked to think he knew her at least a little, the Queen would throw out the little brat without a second thought. Now, if Kepo had been a daughter, Bekeli would be in serious trouble. Since Kepo was obviously a boy, Bekeli was feeling pretty confident in his assumptions.

Bekeli kept quiet; he didn't want to get in trouble, himself, and if he called out with a raised voice... well, they were just close enough to Dikeledi's temporary den that she'd probably come out and strike him.

It wasn't long before the pink-striped female blew out of her den, thoroughly pissed. Kepo was dangling from her jaws once again. She stormed over to Bekeli and dropped the little brown hyena, glaring at Bekeli. Useless! Typical! She asked him to do one simple thing and his feeble little male brain couldn't handle it. No, instead he stood there like an idiot while his son ran rampant.

"I told you to take care of this!" Dikeledi snarled. "You can't even keep a pup under control? If I get pestered by this brat one more time I'll take it out of your miserable hide!" Her tirade had risen to a roar. She snapped her teeth together on the last words, snarling at the striped hyena before returning to her den once more.


Again Kepo had been tossed out. He didn't really mind this time. She said stuff like 'brat' all the time - that flew over his head. No, he was interested in how she was yelling at his worthless father. He giggled while she shouted at Bekeli, absolutely delighted.

"I'll take it outta your hide!" Kepo repeated once Dikeledi had left, giggling some more. He'd like to see her chomp Bekeli right on his scrawny butt. That would be entertaining. "See, you gotta do what I SAY!"

Bekeli scowled after Dikeledi, his shoulders sagging a bit in defeat. He should've expected that it would've turned out to be opposite of what he thought it'd be. It always happened. Morosely Bekeli rose to his feet. In order to keep his son out of Dikeledi's hair, Bekeli supposed that he had to take a bath.

This was the worst day ever.

With a snarled, "C'mon," over his shoulder, he moved towards the shade. If the brat wanted him to take a bath, he would, but Bekeli didn't know of any clean non-drinking water around to dip in, and he would NOT bathe in the drinking water. No, that wouldn't make sense, then he'd be in trouble for dirtying up the only clean water they had.

"You want me to take a bath? Fine." Bekeli was clearly upset by the prospect, but he'd do it to prevent Dikeledi from coming after him with teeth bared. "But you have to find some water, and it can't be the water we drink. Then we'd both be in trouble."

Bekeli hated being a dad.

Kepo followed Bekeli into the shade and sat for a moment, thinking over his father's words. Kepo didn't know how to find fresh water. He was just a pup, after all, and had never strayed very far from his little clan.

He did know that Bekeli was finally doing what he said, and commanding the ugly old hyena was infinitely more entertaining than napping or playing by himself. Feeling quite cheerful, the little brown male stood and stalked around his father. The older male was agitated, but Kepo didn't care. He was quite smug in the knowledge that Bekeli couldn't lash out at him for fear of the Great and Wonderful Dikeledi.

"I knows where some water is," Kepo announced. He didn't, but he did know where a treacherous ditch concealed by long grass was. He could tell Bekeli the water was right through the grass and laugh as he fell in the dirt. "There's some water in that grass b'hind Auntie Dikeledi's den. It rained a bit yesterday when you was sleeping so there's some water there now," he said smoothly, unable to resist adding "...you ugly ole stinky fool."

Kepo might not know where to find actual water, but he was swiftly learning how to lie.

Bekeli was not a smart hyena by any means. Never in a million years would the scrawny, bony hyena ever assume that his son was smart enough to play such a dreadful trick on him; his other boys didn't have this sort of keen intelligence; Igola thought Manyara was his mother, and that little blabbermouth never shut up. Bekeli was convinced that all of his kids were a little 'off' -- and Kepo was no different as far as Bekeli was concerned.

He'd follow his son to the 'water' and then gloat over the little brat when there was no water to be found. Not only would he not have to take a bath, but he'd get to see Kepo cry. That would be more than enough to soothe Bekeli's wounded pride.

Smugly, but not too smugly, Bekeli nodded towards his son. "Lead the way," he whined, waiting for the ungrateful little b*****d to lead the way.

Kepo had hoped that Bekeli would head off for the 'water' on his own and leave Kepo to laugh from the comfort of the shade, but this was okay too. He nodded briskly, strutting off. The little brown hyena felt quite smug to be leading the older male around. He held his head and tail high, practicing his 'female' walk.

Although part of his warped little mind was concentrating on his ladylike swagger, Kepo was thinking very hard on how to trick Bekeli. He obviously couldn't lead the other hyena right to the 'water' - he would fall in the ditch himself. Maybe go hide in the grass and start hollering for Bekeli to help? No, that wouldn't work. Bekeli was too much of a coward to save him from anything.

Kepo had a better idea.

They had reached the edge of the tall grass. "You wait here so's I can get a drink 'fore you mucky up the water," Kepo said sternly. Then he stepped into the grass, moving very carefully. There was a little ridge before the ditch. Being a small hyena, he could easily tiptoe around it without falling in. Kepo did, sidling along through the grass until he was sure Bekeli couldn't see him. Then he let out a yowl of pure delight. "Manyara!" Kepo hollered. "Lookit this stupid dumb lion Bekeli, she got food and she ain't sharing! I gonna bite you on the face, stupid lion!" He let out a war whoop.

With any luck, Bekeli would go charging forward without thinking, going to beat up the stupid lion. Manyara being one of the few people Bekeli was allowed to beat up, Kepo hoped it would be a temptation the scruffy hyena wouldn't be able to resist.

Oh, Bekeli.

Bekeli, Bekeli, Bekeli.

He'd never learn.

Just as his scheming little pup had planned, Bekeli dove towards the spot his son had just disappeared into. He was feeling a little frustrated by the most recent turn of events; he really didn't like being snapped at by the Queens and especially not Dikeledi. She was far scarier than Bahari. Manyara was the perfect way for him to work out some frustrations. He was eagerly anticipating biting her stupid tail and ears.

Well, he was anticipating beating the snot out of Manyara... until he went face first into a little puddle of smelly mud and putrid water. The force with with Bekeli hit the ground drove his snout to the side, but not before he got a mouthful of the rich, muddy earth and a noseful of rank, buggy water. He couldn't stop the shriek that was ripped from his throat as he went a** over teakettle -- backs weren't supposed to bend that way!

Bekeli was still, not moving, though breath gurbled through his mud-caked nostrils. He kept his eyes closed as he made sure that each of his body parts still moved as they were supposed to.

He would KILL that little b*****d.

Kepo couldn't help himself. He let out a howl of cackling laughter. It was too much. It was just too much. Moving carefully back from the edge so that he wouldn't fall himself, he collapsed and had a true giggle fit. "You stuh-stuh-STOOPID stuh-stuh-STINKY ole hyena," Kepo laughed.

Recovering as quickly as possible, Kepo scrambled back to the ditch, keeping back from the edge. He began scuffing at the ground, pulling out clods of dirt and rocks and kicking them down at Bekeli. "Ugly dirt monster!" Kepo squealed with shrill delight. "Smelly Bekeli!"

Maybe he would just lay here a while. Lay here a while amidst the dirt and the bugs and probably toads that lived in this little puddle, and he would contemplate his life. His poor little life where he was now terrorized on a daily basis by five little, terribly awful pups that he'd fathered. He'd contemplate Dikeledi's angry face, and Bahari's laid-back demeanor. He'd contemplate Manyara's blank gaze and Sudaj's sleazy smile. He'd sit here in a tangled muddy mess until he was left all alone, until that little shitstain of a pup left him alone, and then maybe he'd let himself cry.

He didn't move or show any reaction to his son. He would just sit here in a crumpled mess while the sun dried the mud to his fur, turning it into a brown glue. He would rest here until Kepo left, and then he would raise himself up, rub the dried mud off on the grass, let himself feel sorry for himself...

...and then he would kill Kepo. He had four others to make up for it, what would losing one possibly harm? He could tell the Queens that he saw a lion swoop one up, or that he fell down into a deep deep hole.

Thinking these soothing thoughts calmed Bekeli enough so that he could ignore Kepo's terrible laughs. Kepo would PAY.
