Part 1 - Let the journey begin... [Finished]

[Deleted]

At that moment... Tando dreamed.... and it was about him and Kirsui... It was a big hill filled with all sorts of flowers and butterflies, Tando and Kirsui was running around on the hill, grass and flowers jumped up around them and circled around them as they ran around on the hill. The butterflies sprang up and began flying around them as they jumped up and hit into eachother and fell down together on the hill, they stayed like that for a long time.. until Kirsui suddenly began to turn black, and disappeard.. Everything went black and dizzy for Tando, the butterflies turned into demons and the grass turned into fire..

[Kirsui]

Kirsui was falling into panic again. She had to fight against it, but seeing Tando like that didn't make her feel very good.
"I... I'll go hunt" she said to Sheek, turned her eyes from Tando and slowly walked by the river for a little while. Then she climbed the hill and turned to search something eatable.

She saw a couple of zebras some way from her. Slowly she walked down the hill and started aproaching the zebras.
I'll do it for Tando, she thought. She crouched down and started sneaking closer. There were three zebras, all males. They were fighting and concentrated to their figt so much that they didn't see Kirsui.
I'll do it for Tando.
Then she showed her claws and started the chase.

[Deleted]

Tando rolled over in his sleep and hugged a stone, in his dream he tried to hug the blackness.. Kirsui... Tando winced in pain and spoke in his sleep. ''K-kirsui no.. dont leave me! Nooo!'' Tando yelled out loud, unaware of anything at all, he didn't wake up or anything. It was like the infection had totally paralyzed him.

[This Land]

Sheek looked at Tando's actions, he was gettin bad
Sheek lay there, trying to do somthing to help him but he kept being held back by the fact the Tando was Unconcious and there is nothing he could do while Tando was in this state

[Kirsui]

Kirsui jumpped. One of the zebras had been hurt durin their battle. Now she saw an opportunity. The two of the zebras that were uninjured started running for their lives but Kirsui left them go. The third one had propably hurt his leg and wasn't running properly. Kirsui jumpped again, trying to catch the zebras throat. The animal tried to kick her, but it missed. Finally, after three or four other jumps she managed to bite the zebras throat.

After the zebra stopped kicking Kirsui started dragging the body with her. It was quite complicated. The zebra was heavy. She had to stop several times to take a deep breath and then continue her way back to the river. After lots of work she managed to reach the hill... and the top of it... and finally she came to the river. She stopped dragging and took a long drink from the river. Then she headed back to where Sheek waited with Tando.

[This Land]

Sheek looked out the cave and Saw Kirsui in the distance
Sheek Jogged over and met up with her
"Shall i take that for you, youve done the hunting, ill do the carrying, you deserve a rest, go and run ahead to look after Tando if you want, ill take the food from here, Nice catch aswell"

[Kirsui]

Kirsui smiled.
"Thank you"
She ran to the cave. Tando was lying there, whispering something. Kirsui lyed next to him and touched his shoulder gently.
"I'm here. Nothing to worry about" she whispered to Tando's ear.

[Deleted]

Tando opened his eyes, the sleep was over.. she was there... Beside him... god it was only a dream.
''Kirsui?'' Tando said weakly and looked at her.
''I had a dream.. it was about you and me... We were together on this hill.. a big green hill, filled with butterflies and all sorts of flowers. Tando put a paw under her chin, making sure he was going to be okay.
''I don't want to loose you Kirsui''
Tando said as a tear began rolling down his cheek.

[This Land]

Sheek finally dragged in the Zebra After a while and lay it down in the cave

"You Eat in first Kirsui and Tando if he can.....he needs food, ill eat last, will give me time to recover, that Zebra is very heavy"

[Kirsui]

Kirsui dried the tear gently from Tando's cheek and then gave him a lick.
"You're not goung to lose me" she said and smiled for comfort.
"And it was just a bad dream. They're always coming when we are weak, but never must we believe them, despite what we are seeing in them. Eventually good dreams will win."

[Deleted]

Tando ran a paw over her cheek.
''You are so pretty Kirsui... You remind me so much of my mother''
Tando said and sighed in relief, he had never seen or been with a lioness such as Kirsui.
''Real much''
Tando was blushing a bit at what he just said. He didn't even notice the food, Sheek brought in.

[Kirsui]

Kirsui smiled, now for happy. She saw Tando wasturning slightly red and decited to help him away from his embarrasment.
"You really should eat" she said and nuzzled him carefully.

[This Land]

"Im gonna.........Outside.......for....bit"
Sheek ran outside and slumped into the grass, completly comfused in what he was going to do

[Deleted]

Tando smiled happily, he was on the edge of purring as he looked at Kirsui, deep in her eyes.
''You... are... so pretty.. did your mom ever tell you that before?'' Tando said.. softly and silently so Sheek wouldn't hear it.
Tando couldn't manage to say anything more. The look of Kirsui, always sort of removed all of his pain, she was his miracle cure. Never had he seen a lioness like her. She was beautiful.. especially on the inside.

[Deleted]

Oshiani watched as Tando and Kirsui talked in the cave she walked over and lay down next to sheek. '' Hey, you trying to think of some ways to help Tando?'' She said and smiled at him weakly.

[Kirsui]

"Every mom says that for their cubs" Kirsui replied to Tando, smiling very happily. Then she turned to look outside. She was trying to remember her mom.
"I was so young" she said silently, talking more to herself. "I don't ever remember what she looked like. I was raised by my aunt, she also had a cub. He was like a big brother to me. But then he had to leave the pride, he was too old."
She sighed and lay her head to ground.
"I never saw him again. After he was gone the other cubs started teasing me. The rest you already know."
Then she looked curiously to Tando.
"Now you know everything of my past. What about you? What kind of history do you have?"

[Deleted]

''My past.. Hmm... It's kind of dark and... *sigh* sad.. I lost everything in a big fire.. Including my littlebrother'' Tando said and sighed.
''My past isn't important, the important thing here is you... Uhm, you know what I mean'' Tando said and giggled slightly.
''Kirsui, I never think I got a friend like you ever before.. *sigh* and I'm afraid it's turning even greater... My dumb feelings''
Tando said and rolled over and looked into the dark black cave.

[Kirsui]

Kirsui smiled softly. Then she lyed her head on Tandos shoulers.
"You silly, they're not dumb."
Then she thought. She had had a friend once, but he had been only a brothery-friend. Now she had met Tando. Only this morning they had met and she had been ready to run away.
Now she wouldn't leave, never.

[Deleted]

Tando sighed in contentment as he felt Kirsui's breath going through his fur. Tando turned around and faced her and gave her a soft smile and then gave her a nuzzle.
''No lioness could ever match you.. You are definiton.. of perfection''
Tando said and giggled a little of his thought, maybe he was going a bit too far, but he liked being a charmer.
He just kept smiling as he looked into her eyes, a cold feeling ran down his spine because of nervousity.

[Kirsui]

Tando was very charming. And Kirui liked that. She was smiling all the time, Tando really had deserved that. She gave him a long hug and somehow didn't want to let go.
"I like you" she whispered, still smiling. Her life was getting even happier every second.

[This Land]

Sheek slightly smiled back
"just.......sometimes i just think my time here is being wasted"

[Deleted]

''Like me?'' Tando giggled.
''How.. like me?'' Tando stroked Kirsui's cheek again and smiled happily, god was he a happy lion right now.
''Just curious'' Tando said and blinked at her.

[Kirsui]

Kirsui gave Tando a lick.
"You're funny" she said smiling.
Then she looked at the zebra.
"Do you think you would manage to eat something?" she asked, trying to pull her thougts together.

[Deleted]

Tando returned the lick and smiled brightly.
''Yea.. And I guess Sheek would love to get something to eat now as well, right Sheek ol' boy?''
Tando yelled out to Sheek. He returned to look back at Kirsui.
''You are just glowing like a sun right now.. It's... just undescribable''
Tando said as he put his usual gentle and charming smile on.

[Kirsui]

Kirsui giggled.
"How do you manage to be so charming, dispite that broken leg?"
She kept smiling happily.

[Deleted]

''I guess it's the aura of the angel in front of me''
Tando kept focusing on her eyes, they totally completed him on the inside. Never had he been having these feelings before, truly Kirsui was something really rare.. someone you only find with REAL luck. Concerned, beautiful, sweet and alot more words could only describe a little of her. Tando didn't know if he's feelings was going over the line, but he couldn't control them right now.
''You are a miracle cure Kirsui.. my miracle cure'' Tando said and gave her a soft lick.

[Kirsui]

Kirsui was touched by Tando's words. She lyed her head to his mane.
"And I'm pleased to be your little angel that eases your pain."
She wanted to memorize all of this. The sunny day, fields of grass, a little river, small river, the cave... and Tando. This was something she wanted to remember forever.

[Deleted]

Tando could feel how the sun began to warm them together, they were meant for eachother.. first.. Tando thought she was just another common lioness... But god how he was wrong. This lioness was truely rare, her blue eyes shining within the sun reflection. This couldn't be any better.
Tando slowly layed a paw on her and nuzzled her affectionally.

[This Land]

Sheek Walked in
"see, i told you Tando that it couldnt be a Infection, it was just the shock and the actaul pain causing you to faint"
Sheek Looked around and sighed
"Im not hungry, ill be outside, gettin the last bits of sunlight"
Sheek walked outside and Layed in the grass

[Deleted]

Oshiani waited for Sheek to come back out.
''Your time is not being wasted, you are just being a good friend to those around you.'' She said and smiled at Sheek.
''So is Tando going to be fine?'' She asked curiously. ''Are you going to be fine? You seem down..'' She said and put her head down so she could see Sheeks eyes.
