#4 of Unending Love - A Kion and Maalum Love Story


SEASON 1, EPISODE 2: JACKALS IN THE TREE OF LIFE

Kion runs to Rani who is worried.

Rani: Kion. Why did you take so long? I've been waiting for you for a long time.

Kion: I was giving Maalum and Kijana a tour of the Tree of Life.

Rani: Oh. Ok then.

Rani walks to Kion and starts rubbing her body on him.

Rani: Are you ready for our night?

She looks at Kion and talks in a seductive tone.

Kion: Yes, I am. *smirks*

She starts purring while rubbing him. Then she walks in front of him and winks.

Rani: I have something to show you.

Kion: What do you have?~

Rani turns and shows Kion her ass, moving her tail to show him her tailhole and her pussy.

Rani: Enjoying the view, my king?

Kion: *gets closer to her* Yes, my queen~

Rani: You wanna taste it? *shakes her ass*

Kion: Of course! *walks up and licks it*

Rani feels his rough tongue licking her entrance and her body trembles a little with the sensation.

Rani: Mmmmm. Yeah.

Kion keeps licking her pussy.

Rani: Mmmm... Kion.

Kion: Yes?

Rani pushes her body a little closer to Kion, wanting him to lick deeper inside her pussy.

Rani: Taste me.

Kion starts licking deeper inside her tasty pussy.

Kion: Mmmm~

Rani can feel his tongue rubbing her walls with random movements. She starts moaning a little louder.

Rani: Ah!

Kion: Want me to mount you?

Rani: Oh. Yes, Kion. Please. I want you.

Kion mounts her, sticking his big dick into her pussy.

Rani: Aaaaah!

She feels his rough and big dick rubbing her tight walls and she screams.

Rani: Make me scream, my king.

Kion starts thrusting hard.

Rani: Ah ah ah! Yes, Kion!

The queen screams louder with pleasure. She loves to feel his dick inside her.

Rani: Ah. Give me your cubs. Ah.

Kion keeps thrusting, each thrust harder than the rest.

Rani: Ah ah ah. Take me. Ah. Yes.

Her moans are too loud. Kion's a very strong lion and his dick is quite big for her. Her pussy starts to squirt some of her pussy juices. That makes her scream even more.

Rani: Aaaaaahhh!!!

Kion is doing a very good job. She can feel his dick starting to swell as he keeps thrusting.

Kion: Mmmmm... I'm close~

Rani: Yes, Kion! Give me your cubs! Ah!

Kion: Ahhh~ *cums hard into her pussy*

Rani feels his cum fulfilling her pussy.

Rani: Aaaaaahh!!! *her loudest scream.*

Kion: Mmmmm~ We're gonna have beautiful cubs~

She turns again, her pussy dripping a mixture of his cum and her juices.

Rani: I'm sure we will.

Rani kisses Kion on the lips, sharing her tongue with his.

Rani: Mmmm...

Kion: *kisses back* Mmmmm~

Rani: *After kissing* You're really amazing as a king and a lion. I love you, Kion.

Kion: You're really amazing as a queen and a lioness. I love you, Rani.

Rani: *lays close to him.* Goodnight my king.

Kion: *kisses her cheek* Goodnight my queen.

Next morning, Kion leaves the Tree to go find Maalum.

Rani: *awakens* Kion?! Where are you going so early?

Kion: I'm going to check on Maalum.

Rani: So early?!

Kion is worried about Maalum because it was his first night here without him.

Kion: Yeah. He's not used to staying by himself here. I'll be back later on. *smiles*

Rani: Oh. Ok. Give him a hug for me.

Kion: I will. *hugs her*

Kion thinks Maalum spent the night with Baliyo, like he suggested to him, so he goes to Baliyo's den.

Baliyo: Kion?! What are you doing here so early?!

Kion: *sarcastic tone* Good morning to you too. Is Maalum here?

Baliyo: Oh. Sorry. Good morning. No, Kion. Don't he usually spend the night in your den?

Kion: *thinking* He might be sleeping there. Oh, uh... you're right.

Baliyo: Do you need something else? *Yawning* I still need to sleep a little more.

Kion: No, Baliyo. Go back to sleep. *nuzzles him* I'll see you later.

Baliyo: *nuzzle back* See you, Kion.

Maalum is sleeping in Kion's den and Kijana are sleeping next to him with one paw hugging him. Kion walks in and sees them.

Kion: Hey!

They both wake up and look at Kion.

Both: Uh?

Kion: Morning you two. *looks at Kijana and then back at Maalum* Why is Kijana with you?

Maalum: *looks at her* What?! *confused* What are you doing here?!

Kijana: Don't you remember? We spent the night together, my love. *kisses Maalum*

Kion: Your love!?!

Maalum pushes Kijana away, breaking the kiss.

Maalum: Kion. I don't know what she's talking about.

Kijana: You said a different thing last night. *she looks at Kion* Don't you wanna know what Maalum said to me last night, your majesty?

Kion: What did he say? *starting to growl softly*

Kijana: He said I'm the love of his life and he wants to be with me forever.

Maalum: No! Kion! That's not true! *desperate*

Kion knows Kijana is lying so he winks at Maalum because he knows he wouldn't betray him. Kion winks at him in a way that Kijana can't see it happening. Maalum winks back.

Kijana: *still talking to Kion* Don't you think we're a great couple?

Kion walks over to Maalum and whispers in his ear:

Kion: Go with whatever I'm gonna say.

Maalum: *whispering back* Ok, Kion.

Kion: Yes Kijana, but he did say that you betrayed him back then.

Kijana: *surprised* What?! That... That's not true.

Maalum: Yes, it is. And you know it.

Kijana: Your majesty. You don't believe him, do you?

Kion: I do believe him. He would never lie to me!

Kijana: Ok. That may be true. But I changed. Now I'm a good jackal. And last night, Maalum showed me he still loves me. We had sex. *smiles, wanting him to believe her*

Maalum: You're lying. I don't remember anything.

Kion: I'm sorry, Kijana. I still don't believe you.

Maalum: One more thing. I don't remember you came here last night. How did you sleep here?

This question makes Kion happy. She can't escape. Kion starts wagging his tail hearing this.

Kion: Yeah kijana. How did you get in here?

Kijana: *mad* Ok. You want the truth. I'll tell you the truth. I'm lying. We didn't have sex. I followed Maalum and I waited for him to sleep so I could sleep with him. But you can't punish me, "your majesty".

She tells the last words ironically.

Kion: I KNEW IT!

Maalum: How could you do that to me? That's the second time you hurt me. *sad and angry at the same time*

Kijana: Oh. You didn't see anything. I saw you both kissing each other last night. *malefic smile*

Maalum looks at Kion totally worried.

Kion: W-what? You saw us!?

Kion starts blushing but he is also getting mad at her.

Kijana: That's right. I know your secret. But don't worry. I won't tell anyone. In one condition.

Kion: *sits* What?

Kijana walks close to Kion with a malefic look.

Kijana: You forget about Maalum and you let me be his girlfriend and I promise I won't tell the queen your little... adventure. Hehe.

Maalum starts crying.

Kion: *looks at Maalum* Let's talk, Maalum.

Maalum: *still crying* Yes, Kion.

Kijana: Hey. He's my boyfriend now. I hope you respect that. Hahaha.

Kion: *thinking* Whatever bitch. Ok. *to Maalum* Let's go talk about it.

Far from that bitch...

Maalum: I'm sorry, Kion. This is all my fault *crying*

Kion: Listen to me, none of us knew that the jackals were going to be here. Even with her around, I still love you and that'll never change. She's a control freak that one.

Maalum: But you let them in because of me. And you accepted being my boyfriend. Maybe I should leave the Tree Of Life. Forever. *totally sad*

Kion: No! Do not leave the Tree of Life. I didn't let them because you're here, I left them in because you told me to. So if you leave the Tree of Life forever, then I will follow you so we can stay together forever.

Kion's sweet words calms him down and Maalum smiles at him, feeling more in love with Kion than before.

Maalum: Kion. You're really the best thing that happened to me. I love you so, so much.

Maalum walks close to him, searching for a kiss.

Kion: I love you too. *kisses him*

While they are kissing, Kijana appears.

Kijana: I hope you enjoy that kiss, cause it will be your last one.

Maalum breaks the kiss and lowers his head sadly. Kion's starting to get worried about them being together.

Kijana: Come here, my love.

Maalum walks close to her, sadly.

Kijana: *talking to Kion* And you better keep yourself away from us, or everyone will know you were lovers.

Kion: *thinking* We'll see about that. I promise Kijana. *thinking again* I needed to tell Rani the truth.

Kijana: Let's go, Maaly.

Maalum looks at Kion one last time with a very sad face.

Maalum: Bye, my love. *whispering*

Kion: *whispers back* Bye, my love.

Tears start streaming down Kion's face because he's so sad.

After they go, Reirei appears:

Reirei: Oh. Hi, Kion. I mean, your majesty. I'm still not used to calling you like that.

Kion: Oh um... *wipes his tears* Hi Reirei. Just call me Kion, like old times.

Reirei: *worried* Are you ok? You look sad.

Kion: Yeah... *sniffles* I'm fine.

Reirei: Listen. We had our problems in the past... *walks close to Kion* ...but I want you to know that now you can count on me to help you in everything you need, ok?

Reirei puts her paw in his shoulder to comfort him.

Kion: *sighs sadly* Reirei, it's about time I told you the truth.

Reirei: *curious* What are you talking about?!

Kion starts talking about everything that happened with him, Maalum and Kijana.

Kion: Please don't tell anyone. Not even Rani.

Reirei: *shocked* Wow. That's a lot of information. First let me say it's kinda weird you have a relationship with that hybrid.

She remembers the day she kicked Maalum out of her pack. She still doesn't accept him since he's a jackal-lion hybrid, but she respects him now.

Reirei: Secondly: are you sure my daughter did that to you?

Kion: Yes, I'm sure.

Reirei: Well. I never taught him how to lie. Maybe a little. But that's in the past. I'm sure that if she did anything, she did it for love.

Kion: Reirei, you taught your whole Jackal family how to lie! *a little agitated, then calms* I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you.

Reirei: I know. And I'm sorry too for all we have done in the past. Believe me. But I can't forbid my daughter from fighting for her love. I know it's complicated, but... Hehe. This is the jackal style. I can't help you. You need to solve that problem by yourself.

Kion: Then I need to talk to the queen. And don't remind me about Jackal Style. I'm still not used to that.

Reirei: We're both still learning how to deal with our changes.

Kion: You're right about that.

Reirei: Now, if you excuse me, I need to go. It's curious. I never thought I would love talking to you. *smiling*

Kion: Honestly same here. It is weird but I did like it. *smiles* It's a good thing to put our differences aside. *gives her a small nuzzle* Now I need to talk to the queen.

Reirei: *nuzzles back and blushes a little* Go there. And remember: we're friends now. You can talk to me if you need.

Kion: Ok Reirei. See you later! *Walks to Rani*

After seeing Kion leaving...

Reirei: Interesting. I think I never noticed he was so cute.

Kion enters the Tree.

Kion: Rani? You there?

Rani: Kion! You're back!

Rani runs to Kion and nuzzles him.

Kion: *nuzzles back* There's something I've been hiding from you.

Rani: What?!

She goes back, starting to look disappointed.

Rani: Wha... What do you mean?!

Kion: I need you to listen to me and I hope you still love me after what I'm about to say.

Rani: Kion. You're scaring me. What have you done?!

Kion tells her everything. As he is saying it, he's tearing up. Rani's paralyzed, looking at him with absolute disgust.

Rani: How could you?

Kion: I'm so sorry Rani.

Rani: You're sorry?! I can't look well at you right now. *furious* Now I understand why you acted strange when involving Maalum. I should send you both away from these lands.

*crying angry and disappointed*

Kion: FINE! WE'LL LEAVE!! *pissed*

Rani: I said I should send you. But I can't.

Kion: Why not?

Rani: I'll let you stay here for respect to my grandmother Janna. Your roar is important to help us protect the Tree Of Life. I can't send you away with the roar. So, from now on, I have some rules for you.

Kion: Uh... Ok. Queen Janna would have been mad at you for sending me away.

Rani: You betrayed me, so I don't want to see your face many times. From now on, you will only see me when necessary.

Kion nods.

Rani: Secondly, you're not the king anymore. You have to remove your crown.

Kion: I respect your decision, your majesty.

Rani: At least, a good decision. *show him a mad face* Just one more thing.

Kion wipes off the blue paint on his forehead.

Rani: That story with Kijana is true?

Kion: Yes, that's true.

Rani: So she needs to go away with her family. I won't tolerate more attitudes like that.

Kion: But Reirei and I are friends now. But you are the queen. Do what you do best.

Rani: Tell me one good reason to keep the jackals here.

Kion tells her about his conversation with Reirei.

Rani: Well. Maybe you're right. They're good jackals. Ok. I will give you a chance to solve things with Kijana. Now go away. I can't see your face for much longer. *turns her back on him*

Kion: *sighs sadly* Goodbye Rani

After Kion leaves the Tree, Rani starts crying sadly.

Kion walks to Maalum and Kijana.

Maalum: *seeing him* Kion?!

Kijana: Well, well. Look who's here. I thought I told you to disappear.

Kion: Kijana, listen. I told the queen. As you can see on my forehead I'm not King anymore, but she's letting me stay at the tree of life because my Roar helps protect it. That also means I cannot see Rani any more unless it's for emergencies.

Maalum looks at Kion, admired and worried.

Kijana: What?! That's impossible. *upset* You should let me stay with Maalum.

Maalum: *with courage, facing Kijana* No! I'm sick of you. You betrayed me and now you destroyed my true love's life? I won't tolerate that.

Kion: Maalum is right! I told Rani for love, Kijana! Maalum is my true love. *smiles to him*

Maalum walks close to Kion and stays in front of him facing that bitch.

Maalum: Now you're the one who needs to leave us alone. Or do you prefer I go talk to the queen to send you away forever?

Kijana: *mad* Grrrr. Fine. But this isn't over. One day you'll be mine, Maaly. *she goes away, whispering furiously*

Maalum: *screaming* And my name is Maalum!

Maalum looks at Kion, now a little sad.

Maalum: It's true?

Kion: *sighs* Yeah, it's true.

Maalum: I... I don't know what to say. You saved me but... You lost Rani and the Tree Of Life.

Kion: Yeah. I know. She's pissed at me right now, but one day, she'll be crawling back. I still live here.

Maalum: And... what about us?

Kion: We're boyfriends again. *smiles*

Maalum: But... Soon everybody will know. Kijana won't be quiet.

Kion: We'll have to live with that.

Maalum: *smiling* Have I ever told you I love you?

Kion: Yes. Many times. *smiles*

Maalum: Then let me say it again. I. LOVE. YOU. *kisses him*

Kion: I love you too. *kisses back*

Maalum: I... *again serious* I wanna talk to the queen.

Kion: Ok. Are we going together or...?

Maalum: Better not. She's mad at you and she doesn't want to see you. I just feel I need to talk with her about this.

Kion: Ok.

Maalum: Don't you mind?

Kion: I don't mind at all. You have important business with the queen. I'll be right here. *smiling*.

Maalum: Ok. *kiss him again* See you later.

Kion: *kisses back* See you later.

After Maalum leaves, Reirei appears, looking serious.

Reirei: Kion. I need to talk to you. What have you done to my daughter?

Kion: What? Why?

Reirei: She's very sad and she says it was your fault. Is that because of Maalum?

Kion: Yes! Maalum is sick of her crap!

Reirei: What?! *confused* She told me you roared at her because you didn't support her being with Maalum. That's true?

Kion explains everything.

Reirei: I don't believe it. *disappointed* Oh, Kion. I don't know what to do. She's been acting so bad. And I can't trust Goigoi to take care of her. He's a lazy jackal. *hugs him, sadly* I need your help, Kion.

Kion: *hugs* I'll help you, but I'm not king anymore.

Reirei: Oh. *surprised* What happened?!

Kion tells her about the very heated argument between him and Rani.

Reirei: Oh Kion. *worried* I'm so sorry about you. You're a very nice and beautiful lion. You didn't deserve that. *hugging him again*

Kion: *hugs* Thank you, Reirei. Wait... Did you say I'm beautiful?

Reirei: What?! *backs a little, embarrassed and blushing* No way. I mean... You're beautiful, but... I didn't mean to tell you that. Well, I did it, but...

She's ashamed, something not usual in her.

Kion: Hey, it's ok. I'm an attractive lion. Heh. Even though Kovu is more attractive, cute too! Don't be embarrassed.

Reirei: Oh. Uh... Ok. And... What about me?

Kion: You're pretty attractive for a jackal. *blushing*

Reirei: Hehe. Thanks.

She starts walking around him in a seductive way.

Reirei: As you can see... I have some qualities.

Reirei rubs her fluffy tail in Kion's snout.

Kion: *sneezes* Yes. You do.

Reirei: And... I also have some talents.

Now she starts rubbing his dick with her tail.

Kion: *backs off* Uhhh... I'm sorry Reirei, but you're with Goigoi.

Reirei: *keeps talking and looking seductively* Forget about that lazy jackal. He's not here. He's probably sleeping somewhere else. *walks close to him again*

Kion starts blushing. She kisses him, asking to share her tongue with his.

Kion: Mmmm! *kisses with tongue, then backs off* Maalum is my boyfriend.

Reirei: Oh. *looks at him, sadly* I... I understand. *goes back* I thought we had a special connection.

Kion: We do have a special connection, but I don't want to wreck my relationship with Maalum.

Reirei: Well... *she doesn't insist* As you wish. But... I would love to see you again. You know. To talk about our changes and how we can be good friends. I like to spend some time at the hill, close to the River Of Patience. You can find me there.

Kion: Alright Reirei.

Reirei: So.. See you soon, Kion.

Kion: Yes, see you soon.

When she's walking away, she shakes her tail in the air, giving him a vision of her ass. Kion blushes and gets hard looking at Reirei's ass. Then she stops, looking back at him.

Reirei: By the way, I loved that kiss. *winks, before leaving the place*

Kion blushes more.

Meanwhile, Maalum enters the Tree Of Life.

Rani: UGH!! Who does he think he is!?!

Maalum: Queen Rani? Your Highness? It's me. Maalum. Can we talk?

Rani: *looks at him* Yes Maalum? What's going on?

Maalum: I... I wanna say... I'm sorry. *sad*

Rani: Sorry? For what?

Maalum: For what I did. That's my fault you and Kion are separated.

Rani: Oh Maalum. It's okay, I'm starting to forgive him. I still need his help. I talked to grandmother Janna about it.

Maalum: You sure you're not mad?

Rani: I'm still pretty mad about it, but I just need time to work it out.

Maalum: Oh. I understand. And what about me? You really forgive me?

Rani: I do forgive you.

She starts talking in a more seductive tone and gets closer to him.

Maalum: You... You do?! *starting to feel a little uncomfortable*

Rani: Yes~ *starts walking around him*

Maalum follows her movements with his head.

Maalum: Wha... What are you doing?

Rani: Shhhh~ *starts licking his dick*

Maalum: Ohh.

Maalum feels his dick going hard.

Maalum: R-Rani. D-Don't...

Rani: Hehe why? If you let your queen do this, I can let Kion be King again~

Maalum: You...

Maalum: *thinks* I can't betray Kion. And I certainly can't do it with Rani. But she can help Kion like I can't. She's the queen. *to Rani* Y-You promise?

Rani: I promise~

Maalum: O-Ok then. But I only do this to help Kion.

Rani: Hehe. Good.

Maalum: *thinks* What am I doing?

She keeps licking his dick and balls.

Maalum: Oh.

Maalum moans a little. He never made it with another animal. Only with Kion. But her tongue isn't so different from his. Maalum feels her rough tongue touching his soft balls and his dick is going harder and harder. Rani starts sucking it.

Rani: Mmmmm~

Maalum: Oh.

Maalum moans a little louder, feeling her beautiful and sweet lips rubbing up and down his cock.

Maalum: Yes, Rani. Oh.

Rani keeps sucking his cock.

Rani: Mmmm~

Maalum feels his dick swelling inside Rani's mouth.

Maalum: Oh, Rani. I want...

Rani sucks faster.

Maalum: Oooohh!!!

His dick explodes inside Rani's mouth, shooting an enormous amount of cum. The queen is really hot and she can give him (maybe) more pleasure than Kion. So his dick gives the queen many shots of its hot cum.

Maalum: Ooooohh!!!

Rani: *swallows it* Mmmm~ Yummy.

Maalum feels tired and keeps laying on the ground.

Maalum: This... was so good.

Rani nods in agreement.

Maalum: Now... You can let Kion be king again?

Rani: Hmmm... I can, but after you do something for me~ *seductive tone*

Maalum: What?! What do you want now?! *serious face, but happy inside*

Maalum's still laid on the ground. She puts her pussy in his face in the 69 position.

Maalum: Oh. I get it. *smiling, thinking* Kion's gonna kill me. But she's so hot.

Maalum puts his lion tongue out and starts licking her pussy. She starts moaning.

Maalum: *thinking* It tastes better than Kion's butt.

The hybrid rubs her entrance with his rough dick with random movements and Rani moans more. Maalum wants to taste more and he puts his tongue inside her pussy, rubbing her tight walls.

Maalum: Mmmmm... *thinking* Way better than Kion.

Rani: Ahhh! Yes~~~ *moans loudly and thinks* Way better than Kion.

Maalum tries to go deeper and deeper inside her pussy, always moving randomly his rough tongue inside it.

Maalum: Mmmmmm...

Maalum feels her juices spray out of her pussy.

Maalum: Mmmmm...

He tastes her juices and swallows.

Maalum: *thinking* It's better than Kion's cum. Mmmm... Tasty.

Rani: Mmm... Thanks baby~

Maalum: Oh Rani. I really loved this. You're amazing.

Rani: You're amazing too. I loved it. *kisses his cheek*

Maalum: Wow.

Maalum is preparing to kiss her, but then he remembers he loves Kion and he goes back.

Maalum: I should leave.

Rani: Ok. *smiles* Tell Kion he's king again.

Maalum: Asante, your majesty. Like I said, you're really amazing. *smiling*

She blows him a kiss.

Rani: I hope to see you around~

Maalum: You'll see. *winks* Bye.

Rani: Bye cutie~

Rani's falling in love with Maalum.

Maalum leaves the Tree to go back to Kion.

Maalum: *thinking* What am I feeling? This is so wrong. I love Kion. But Rani makes me feel so good. She's very kind and beautiful. I'm so confused.

Kion is napping in the den. Finally Maalum sees him. The hybrid walks close to the lion.

Maalum: Kion. I have good news.

Kion: *wakes up* Hmm? What's up?

Maalum: Sorry for waking you up. I talked to Rani and guess what. *smiling*

Kion: What?

Maalum: I convinced her to let you be king again.

Kion: You did!? What did she have you do?

Maalum: Oh. Uh... We just...

Maalum doesn't want to tell Kion the truth.

Maalum: We just talked. I can be very convincing.

Maalum starts blushing, thinking about what he did with the queen.

Kion: You really are very convincing. *gets closer, asking for a kiss*

The hybrid kisses the lion on the lips.

Kion: *kisses him* Mmmm...

While kissing Kion, Maalum thinks about Rani and he shares his tongue with him.

Maalum: Mmmmm...

Kion: Mmmmm... Sugar snout. You're amazing. *keeps kissing with tongue*

Maalum: Mmmm... I love you, Rani.

Kion: Huh!?

Maalum: What?

Kion: What did you just say!?

Maalum: *realizing what he just said* Oh. I said I love you, Kion.

Kion: That's not what you said. You said "I love you, Rani.". Did you do something with her?

Maalum: No... *trying to convince him* We just talked with puss... I mean dic... I mean... We just talked.

Kion: Uh huh...

Maalum shows Kion his puppy eyes trying to convince him. Kion realizes that there is no point in arguing. Besides he can smell the scent of Rani's pussy on him, and he also tasted it on his tongue when they kissed.

Kion: Alright. It's fine.

Maalum: So... You believe me, right? I love you. I would never betray you.

Kion: Yes. I believe you. *whispers on his ear* I can taste her on you.

Maalum's eyes go wide.

Maalum: What?! Kion. I... I can explain.

Kion: No need. You can pleasure her more than I ever could.

Rani walks up, but Maalum doesn't notice her and keeps walking to Kion.

Maalum: But... What about us?! What will you do?

Kion: We're still together, honey. *nuzzles him* But Rani is the queen, and she also needs to be plea-

Kion is cut off by Rani.

Rani: Hey boys.

Maalum looks at her with a big smile.

Maalum: Hi, Rani. What are you doing here?

Kion can see the way he talks and looks at her. He realizes Maalum is in love with Rani.

Rani: I'm just here to check in on you two. *smiles*

Kion: *thinking* He's in love with her.

Maalum: Oh. Th-That's good. I... I already told Kion he can be king again.

Maalum blushes with her presence.

Rani: That's good. I was gonna tell him, but since you did, I'll be on my way.

Maalum: O-Ok. *sad*

She can see he's sad.

Rani: Kion. Is it ok with you if Maalum comes with?

Kion: Sure Rani. I need to go talk to Reirei anyways.

Maalum: Are you sure? *happy, shaking his tail* I mean... Kion. If that's ok with you...

Kion: Yes, I'm sure.

Maalum: Thanks, Kion. *hugs him*

Kion: You're welcome. *hugs back*

Maalum: So... Rani. *walking close to her* Where are we going?

Rani: *smirks* We are going to a place that I only know.

Maalum: Oh wow. I can't wait to see that place.

They go away without saying goodbye to Kion. He's now alone and sad. Then Goigoi appears.

Goigoi: Hi Kion.

Kion: Huh? Oh. Hi Goigoi.

Goigoi: I'm looking for Reirei. Did you see her?

Kion: No, I haven't. *lying*

Goigoi: Oh. Ok. If you see her, tell her I'm looking for her, ok?

Kion: Alright.

Goigoi: Asante Kion. See you later.

Goigoi goes away, letting Kion think about his last encounter with Reirei.

Kion: *thinks* She said that she would be at the River of Patience. I should go there.
