New World [Ended - Thanks for the adventure <3 ]

[Deleted]

Kisima suddenly got pinned to the ground by something. She looked up and saw Anmani above her. He then ran off and sat on the grass with a look on his face, telling her to go after him. "Grr..." She growled playfully as she stood up. "I'll getcha!!" She said and started running full speed towards the cub. She almost reached him when she tripped over a twig on the ground. She flew through the air and landed next to the other cub. She stuck out her paw once again and used him to pull herself off the ground. When she finally got up she smiled at him cheekily. "That was my way of tagging you.." Before racing off into the trees, so that it would be harder to be seen by the other cub.

Anmani was laughing as he watched his new friend fly through the air in attempts to try to tag him, the only reason being so was that the expression on her face was priceless. He was just about to get up and leave when he felt something tug on his body. What the?... He suddenly felt himself go to the ground as Kisima pulled herself by using him, giggling at what she said after. "Heh heh. No fair!!"

He knew that this was not of course, but he just wanted to say it before racing into the trees to follow Kisima, the only thing guiding him was his ability to pick up the movements from afar of Kisima's bush -rashing ways.

[Deleted]

Kisima giggled continuosly as she ran. She turned her head to look behind her and saw a flash of Anmani chasing her. Just then her paw hit a rock and it sent her flying into a bush. She landed with a thud. She rubbed her head before peaking through the leaves, watching the other cub approach, ready to jump out at him in the case of him not knowing where she was.

[Kirsui]

Tefnut smiled at Sukari as she took a piece of the zebra and started eating it. Safila had already begun eating, and was now also speaking to Sukari. The liopardess listened of the young lioness' words, but she didn't say anything. Instead she just took another piece of meat and turned to watch Anmani and Kisima play around.

The two cubs seemed to have a lot of energy. Their actions made Ted smile slightly. It was great to see Anmani happy, especially now that his brother had left him alone. Tef's smile faded away and she turned back to her meal, not wanting to think about what had happened earlier.

Anmani was giggling all the time that Kisima was tumbling, or, what he thought was tumbling. But, she then disappeared into somewhere that he couldn't see, and now he had no idea of where she could be. He jumped over to the place where she disappeared and then looked around for her, not spotting the fact that she was closer than he thought. "Kisimaaaaa.. Where are yoooooou?"

[Deleted]

Kisima put a paw up to her mouth, hoping that by covering it, that it would stop her from making any noises. "Kisimaaaaa.. Where are yoooooou?" Anmani called from outside the bushes green leaves. "I'm right heeeeeeere!" The black lioness cub exclaimed as she leaped out of the bushes and pounced down on top of the cub. "Hehe.." She started to giggle before something else caught her attention. Two blue, white and black butterflies fluttered past. "C'mon Mani! Let's chase em'!" A grin placed upon her muzzle as she said this.

[Pulsar]

((You know the drill... ))

Anmani was about to walk away after turning around when he suddenly got a sudden weight on his back followed by a very familiar voice. He let out a grunt as he got up, looking over at Kisima with a smile. He then thought of the butterflies. "I dunno, Ki... We could get into a lot of trouble if we got lost..." He said with a bit of doubt as he remember the last time he got lost. Mino certainly gave him a word or two about it. But, when he actually got to see the butterflies, he giggled as one of them landed on his head and he batted it slightly, only to miss it and it fly away. "Come on, Kisima! They're gonna get away!" He said with a playful grin and then started chasing that one butterfly, not realizing that that one butterfly that wasn't there was following behind him.

[Deleted]

Kisima nodded. "True... i sup.." But she was interupted by Anmani exclaiming something about the butterfliews getting away.

"Grr..!!" She said playfully as she jumped up in the air and tried grabbing the one that was following Anmani with her teeth. But fortunatley, for the butterfly, she missed.

"Come back!!" She growled playfully as she ran after the two butterflies and Anmani

[Pulsar]

Anmani was having so much fun chasing the butterflies. Just the care-freeness of it all and the challenge of trying to catch them made him thrilled. And of course Kisima made it all the better since she was his friend. And things are always better when you're with your friends.

When one butterfly landed on a rock, Anmani came to a halt and put a paw up to stop Kisima as well. He grinned as he lowered himself into a pouncing position and then looked up at Kisima as he still had that playful smirk. "Betcha I can't pounce that butterfly, Ki..." He waited a few seconds before letting his his legs go like a coiled spring, jumping up onto the butterfly. However, the butterfly already knew he was coming, so it floated away. Unfortunately, gravity doesn't stop in mid-air. So, evidently, Anmani hit the rock with a thump. Although, it more sounded along the lines of "AhaaaAAA! OOOF!"

When Anmani hit the ground after hitting the rock, he started whimpering a little cause his head was hurting. A tear was falling down his eye and his head was down and he said something quietly. "I wanna go home..."

[Deleted]

Kisima giggled playfully at Anmani. "Alright.. GO!" She whispered to him, so she wouldn't startle the butterfly. She watched anxiously as Anmani jumped on the butterfly. He ended up missing the butterfly and both insects fluttered away.

The cub looked down at Anmani, who had a tear running down his face. He then mumbled about wanting to go home. Ki quickly bent down beside him.

"You alright An?" She asked him worriedly. "Home.." She then started. "Uhh.. Anmani.. which way is home?" The cub started to get worried now and a tear trickled down her face onto her black fur.

[Pulsar]

Anmani had his concentration broken from the slight pain in his head to look up as to where he was. It was true for what Kisima was saying. Which was was really home? They were surrounded by trees and a path was kinda broken down from where Kisima crashed through. But, as he stared down it, it became fainter and fainter when he followed the path. "Oh god, we're lost... We really 'are' lost... It's all my fault... I shoulda just said let;s go home... We'll get in so much trouble, Ki..." He said with a little tear falling on his face as he looked to Kisima.

[This Land]

Sukari Joined Tef, in watching the 2 cubs Playing, It did make her smile.

when the cubs disappeared through the bushes, sukari perked her ears up, still listening to them, but as the sounds started to stop. Sukari Got worrried, but she kept calm.

She Just Slowly got up and walked towards the bush
"Anmani........Kisima?" she said.

Sukari walked through the bush, she started sniffing the air, they where close.
"Come on you 2......where are you" she said

[Deleted]

Kisima bit her lip worriedly as Anmani confirmed her suspicions. Then the cub started to cry again. "It's alright Mani! We'll find our way back!" The black furred cub exclaimed, trying to reassure Anmani.

"It's... uh... let's go..." Ki said as she looked around the area of jungle were they were. "This way!" She exclaimed and started padding slowly away from Anmani. "Come on!"

Little did she know she was heading in the opposite direction from where the rest of their group was.

[Pulsar]

Anmani nodded softly and started to follow Kisima. At least Kisima had the courage to start finding where Sukari and Tef were. But, he couldn't tell if it was courage, or obliviousness that drove her to walk that way.

[Kirsui]

Tefnut woke up from her thoughts as Sukari called the teo cubs. Confusedly, she didn't realize at first why Sukari was calling them, but when she herself stood up she realized Kisima and Anmani were really gone.
"Anmani!" she called. "Kisima!"
Thoughts raced in Tef's mind. Desmani had given Anmani to her. She had to look after him now that Des was gone. And Kisima.. well.. Anmani could have a friend from her, and a friend would help to take the male cub's mind away from his family.

"Where could they have gone..?" Tef asked aloud, gazing around to see a glimpse of the cubs.
"I mean.. Just a moment ago they both were right here!"
She sighed desperately, fearing that the two might have got lost. She called for them again, almost waiting for other of them to jump out of the grass with a smile.

[Deleted]

Not too long after the pair of cubs had started walking once again, the came to a small stream, with lots of big rocks around it, and not too many trees. It was like all the trees stopped and cleared out a circle for the river and the rocks.

"Ummm.. maybe we didn't come from this way.."

She mumbled a little worriedly.

"Maybe we should just stay here until someone comes..?"

The cub suggested and looked at Anmani for his opinion.

[Pulsar]

Anmani looked to Kisima when she suggested that they should stay where they are. "Even though we have a chance of finding them faster if we look for them, I don't wanna take the other chance of going the opposite way as them... I think that we should stay here and call out every few minutes or so." He said to Kisima. With that said, he rested himself by sitting on his rm and lapping at the river that flowed through.

[Deleted]

Safila's ears perked up as Sukari and Tefnut both started calling the two cubs names. She looked around and neither of them were to be seen.

"Oh dear! Tef, should we go with Sukari and try and find the pair?

Safila stood up and looked around incase they were hiding anywhere. She didn't want them to get lost and get worried. She knew what it was like to feel all lost and alone, scared to death with no one to protect you. Although the cubs did have each other, that still wasn't enough to feel protected.

[Kirsui]

Tef looked at Safila, a worried expression on her face.
"Yes" she replied simply.
"I don't want those two to get lost either..."
The liopardess gazed around.
"Problem is that.. Basically they could have gone to any direction..."
She looked at Safila, then at Sukari.
"Ideas where to look?"

[Deleted]

Safila nodded in reply to what the liopardess was saying.

"True... how about you and I go and look that way, they could have gone into the trees... and Sukari.. you stay and look around here. After all, you already have one cub you're looking after."

The golden lioness smiled heartily at her last words. The thought of Sukari having a cub made her smile everytime. But then her thoughts returned to reality and she turned to Tefnut.

"Shall we then?"

[This Land]

And Sukari.. you stay and look around here. After all, you already have one cub you're looking after."
Sukari Smiled softly as Safila Said This, but as soon as that happened, it just brought tears to her eyes, thinking of sheek. She dropped her head down, and shook off the tears and brought her head back up.
"Ok......Ill look around here" she said gently
Sukari started to walk off in the opposite direction, smelling the air, trying to get a scent.

[Kirsui]

Tefnut ndded at Safila's suggestion, and then walked to Sukari. She gave her friend a friendly nuzzle before following Safila.
"I can check the trees" she suggested. "After all, I've spent quite a lot of my life in them..."
The liopardess smiled at Safila, then walking to one tree that she noticed right in front of them. She stopped under it and looked up. At least she didn't see the cubs there...
"I'll go up..."
Tef sunk her claws to the tree and quickly climbed up to the branches. There was no sight of the two cubs on that tree. She climbed back down and returned to Safila.
"They're not there" she simply informed as she padded towards another tree.

[Deleted]

Safila smiled at Sukari and nuzzled her after Tefnut doing the same herself.

"Good luck Su."

The tanned lioness trotted off into the trees after the liopardess infront of her, in search of the two little cubs. Tefnut had already started climbing a tree in search for them, returning to the ground with a negative result.

"We'll head deeper in then."

[This Land]

Sukari, started looking aorund the area she was in. but she couldnt see that the cubs would just be in this spot.

Memories suddenly flooded back when her and sheek used to play hide and Seek, well, to them it was Seek Sheek, because it was Sheek that always used to love to hide, and sukari always used to love finding him.

Sukari Shook her head, then smiled, she knew now she could pretend this was a big game. Her sense of smell was above average because of all the times she used to play this. So she closed her eyes, not looking out of them one bit, and let her nose do all the work.

Her Nose soon picked up their scent, and she just carried on following it. she went through thick bushes, tall trees, over rocks, and the scent just kept getting stronger and stronger, she soon realised that it was Amani's Scent.

"Amani.......Comon Little Dude........Auntie Sukari is Here"
"Amani!!!!" she said with a raised yet calming voice

[Deleted]

Kisima sat there, gazing around the area silently, not sure what to say to break the silence. But someone else broke it for her.

"Amani.......Comon Little Dude........Auntie Sukari is Here"
"Amani!!!!"

"Sukari?" The little cubs voice piped up suprisingly.

[This Land]

Sukari's Ears flipped straight up on end, when she heard a voice of the cub.
Sukari straight away turned to the direction from where she heard the voice. she lept through the thick bushes, picking up another strong scent of a cub.

Sukari then Saw her, a sigh of relief flooded through her body.
"Im so glad ive found one of you little Rascels" she said happily, playfully and with a big smile.
Sukari Gave Kisima a big nuzzle, she wasnt angry at her, after all, what will cubs become when they are adults if they dont explore.

"Have you seen Amani anywhere?" she questioned

[Deleted]

Kisima was relieved to see Sukari come through the bushes and ran up to her. The lioness gave the cub a nuzzle and the cub gave one back in return.

"Have you seen Amani anywhere?"

The golden lioness asker Kisima.

"Yeah! He's.."

The black furred cub turned around to where he had been sitting and turned back around to look up at Sukari with a sad look on her face.

"He was just here."

[Pulsar]

Anmani was walking, keeping slightly low to the ground. The area was unfamiliar to him, and didn't want to catch the eye of any unwanted animals.

"uhmmm...."

He stuttered slightly.

"I can't see anyone..."
He said turning around to look at his friend, only to find she wasn't there.
".... Kisima?"

That moment his heart skipped a beat. The moment froze in time almost as the situation hit anmani. He was now alone completely. But not just him, kisima also...

"SUKARI! KISIMA! TEF!"
He cried out.
"I'm lost!"

Timidly he huddled up and wrapped his tail around himself, looking around slowly with his head shaking lightly from the fear rushing through him.
He hoped someone had heard his cry...

(sorry it took me so long to reply guys, been busy lately)

[Kirsui]

Tef was getting desperate. The cubs were nowhere to be seen. How could she have been so careles?! She should have kept an eye on them. Especially on Anmani, since she felt being responsible of the small male cub...

Flattening her ears, Tef kept going, calling for the cubs every now and then.
"I hope Sukari has had better luck..." she muttered, though more to herself than Safila.
"How can two cubs wander so far this quickly?"
Tef glanced at Safila, to check if the lioness had better luck finding the cubs than the liopardess herself. Actually, Tef's frustration was so huge that it would have been a wonder if she even heard anything else than her own calls...

[Deleted]

Kisima looked up at Sukari.

"Suki... I... he... "

The cub paused and looked around before returning her attention to Sukari.

"Where'd he go, he was here right beside me, he really was, what's happened, he can't have gone very far, quick let's start looking" Kisima said to Sukari, as she was starting to panic, and get this horrible feeling come over her.
