Ming looked up to greet the boys new friend and thank him for bringing them home but as soon as she did she felt the blood run from her face. She was staring at someone from her past someone who was never supposed to know her little secrets, well four secrets that his. Of all people why him.... She was angry at the boys, now because they disobey her and left she had to deal with HIM!

"What are you doing here." She could feel a tightness in her throat, she didnt know if she want to cry because someone found her, be angry, or be relieved. All she could do was stare at the all too familiar cheetah in front of her.


For a moment he didn't know who she was, he was having too much fun with her kids and when finally he trotted to a spot in front of the form- to greet her.. He was dumbstruck with the most familiar sight.. Ming.

He couldn't even speak his words were all jumbled but he managed a chuckling and studdering "Hel-lo~? Wow.. Umm.. You look.. Great~" That most awkward conversation to have met her- and these were hers? Wow.. He couldn't even imagen. But he hadn't smelt a male's scent anywhere- wait the cubs said.. Too many things ran through his mind and he could only sit and rub his head. "They're yours right?" He tried a shy smile- his cheeks probably hot pink now but thankful to have brown cheeks.

Ming pushed the twins into the den. "Stay" She said speaking to her cubs. Looking back at Koran, "Yes there mine!" Ming was much more cold since the last time they met she had to protect herself and her cubs. Last time she trusted a male well... he left her to be a single mother....

"Now leave!" She hissed at him, her words like venom. She didnt need him to be around, she was fine alone and she didnt want her past messing up her present. "Now!" she repeated. Her throats tightening as she spoke, she knew the feeling that was coming over her; the beginnging of tears.


He looked at the twins with a rather 'sorry' looking face before he snapped back to look in to her eyes. Then she made the hastey comment that made him quickly hop to his feet.. His tail going between his legs almost in fear. But then he didn't quite understand why. So he lifted his chin up. "Hey~ now hold on." Taking a step forward and even frowned quite a bit.

"I didn't mean it like that~ I was trying to help. Don't get so upset.. I.. I won't tell anyone.." Lowering his head and going on the defensive side now but he wasn't going to leave her.. Not this upset plus the twins didn't look so happy about it neither.

Ming took a step back in a fighting stance, "I.Said.Go" She want about to let another male ruin her life. She didnt want him to see her cry and she definatly didnt want to fight him. But he couldnt stay. She was at a loss.

She hasnt seen anyone since the fight with her mother, which was they same day she met... HIM. She wasnt to let another male take advantage of her, even if she did think he got cutier with age. A bit of a smile hinted at the end of her maw but quickly faded. "Koran leave...." She huffed ut her tone wasnt as venomous more of a friendly warning.



He went almost nose to nose with her in her stares and likely he was going to win. But- he fell short and decided it was best to be the gentleman he was and step down. "Fine. I'll go." He said almost in defeat and slightly peeved.. Still he held his own for a few backward steps. Looking at the boys and giving them a nod. "I'll be in the area- if you need me." Directing it towards her children. "I don't wanna hear you two got lost again- you hear me." Giving them a pointing digit before looking at her.

"It was.. good to see you..again." He knew this wasn't going to be their last encounter. He'd see to it to somehow gain some favor at least for the cubs... Even just to help her out.. Bowing before he slowly turned. Never give you back to an enemy. He'd never do it to his brother- yet .. he did it to her- she wasn't an enemy.. and showed he wasn't here to fight..

"Wait mommy! Dont let him leave!!" Yejian was whimpering he just made an awesome older friend he didnt want him to leave. Not yet. "Besides.... were....um...were... ummm.." He was trying to stall and he was coming up short.... what could he do?

"Were hungry mommy~~, Can we go with koran to get food." His brother chimed in at a perfect time. And it wasnt a complete lie the twins were in fact hungry since they missed breaskfast because of there early morning adventure.

"Get in the den! I told you to stay we'll go hunting lateas a famliy i cant leave you alone again not since i can never take my eyes of you two without you getting into trouble." She huffed and looked at her other cubs to see they too were hungry.

Ming looked at her boys with a smile she knew what they were doing, did they really like him that much... she used to..She sighed. "Wait Koran.... since my boys seem to have taken a liking to you i suppose it wouldnt be bad if you stayed..." She paused saying this with a halfhearted tones. "...But dont come near me and if you hurt my babies i'll kill you." Her tone was once again cold looking at her old friend wondering what he would do..



He stopped and side stepped in a turn to over see what was happening while his back wa sturned. His ears given a twitch or two as he chuckled at what they did. She was swayed easily by them, no? Chuckling softly as he nudged his head to one side. Giving them the signal. "Come on then. Let's go grab some dinner."

The twins ran up to him only to be stopped by there mother. "Mommy~~~ we'll be careful..." Yejian looked up at his mother with his big eyes.

"Please be careful...." Her tone was filled with worry, she gave her boys a quick nuzzle to the neck and a lick on top of there head bfore pushing them off in the direction of Koran. She didnt know what he was like now... he doesnt seem different just older and bigger....

"Koran, dont be long." He tone was calmer but still a bit hesitant. She watched as her twins ran off in his direction which brought a small smile to her maw.


Right when they got close to him, he darted off and looked towards her catching her last words before he gave her a nod of acceptance. It wasn't long before they got to the grass lands beyond the forest. Wagging his tails, he only but nudged his paws against their heads. "Are you to the sly little birds. Now- what would you all like to eat~ How many are there of you anyways?"
