The sun peaked over the horizon, and Jumbe knew he was home. His nostrils flared as he lifted his head up, sniffing the air. Sala dangled from his jaws, still very much asleep as he slowly moved forward. His nose picked up something interesting though. There was a female hyena, and she was in season. Jumbe thought it over for a second, eyes moving from left to right, then down at the cub. He was her protector, the only family she had, and he was hers. Did he really want to put her in danger to satisfy his own need to procreate? He looked around, trying to find a place to put Sala so he could investigate. He finally spotted a nice hole in the ground. Jumbe trotted over to it, sniffing the entrance. It was a hyena den, an old and unused hyena den. As he kept sniffing it over, he realized, it was his old den, the one his mother had made for his birth. He blushed, slowly lowering her inside.

Sala awoke, feeling cold dirt brush against her body. She looked up at her father, "Daddy, what's going on?" Her father smiled, "Don't worry, sugar, daddy has to go investigate, but I thought you might like this cool place to stay. It was daddy's old den from when he was your age." The cub smiled up at him, "Really? I'm sleeping in your old den?"

"That's right, you're going to sleep where daddy slept when he was growing up. Now, be a good girl and stay here. It's not safe for you outside of here, got it?"

Sala shook her head sleepily, "Yes daddy. You want me to go back to sleep?"

"I do, baby girl. Go back to sleep. I'll return as soon as I can. Hopefully with something to eat. This is going to be tricky, we have to get out of here as soon as we can, all right?"

"Okay daddy," She yawned snuggling up in the cool den, "I'll see you soon."

Jumbe leaned down to give her a lick on the forehead. "I'll be back as soon as I can." He turned around, trotting away, his nose raised to the air, sniffing out the hyena in season. He followed his nose for several hundred yards before finding what he was looking for. The hyena crouched in the high grass, eyes fixed on the beauty before him. It was a large female hyena, massive, muscular, either the matriarch or the matriarch's daughter, he wasn't sure which, but he wanted her. It would be dangerous for him, but he might as well try. She was busy sunning herself by a nearby watering hole, her dark gray fur drinking in the sun as she relaxed. Jumbe shrugged his shoulders, he might as well get this over with. Slowly, he popped up, and walked forward, head low to the ground.

Shenzi was enjoying the morning sun, then again, she enjoyed the sun period. After living in darkness in the graveyard, she'd developed a love for the sunlight. And ever since she and her clan had driven off or killed the clan that had previously owned these lands, she had gotten all the sun she could ever want and more. The matriarch grinned as she relaxed, but as she started to drift off, her ears picked up a noise. The large appendages twisted and turned, focusing on whatever was coming towards her. The big spotted hyena rolled onto her belly, getting onto her paws, staring at the newcomer.

Jumbe got down on his belly, laying his head on the dirt in submission as he saw the matriarch glare at him, wondering what he was doing. He slowly crawled closer to her before rolling onto his belly, living up his hind leg, presenting to her.

Shenzi raised an eyebrow at the submissive male as she got to her feet and came over to him, giving him a small growl as she leaned in to sniff his underbelly. He was submissive to her, whoever had been his mother or matriarch had taught him well. She pulled her nose from between his legs, moving to lift her leg up for him to sniff.

Jumbe leaned his head up, giving her nethers a warm sniff, taking in her scent. He didn't want to lick her, that would be the worst thing he could do right now, but he took in her scent before laying his head back down on the dirt in submission.

Shenzi looked back at him, "What do you want? Are you here to join the clan or are you here because you can smell me?" Jumbe blushed, looking up at her, "I am here because I smell you, Matriarch. I wish to mate with you." The much larger female looked him over, "We do need a change of scenery around here. I'll tell you what. You're going to breed with me, and if I like it, I'll let you stay as my new alpha male. If I don't like it, I hope you can run fast." The smaller male nodded, "Yes, matriarch." The big female chuckled, "Good, now are you going to lie here or are we going to actually do it?" Jumbe blushed, rolling onto his belly, getting onto his paws. "Yes, ma'am."

For much of the morning the two mated, Shenzi enjoying Jumbe on her back as much as Jumbe enjoyed partaking of her. When they had finally finished, the much bigger female smiled at him, "You can join the clan. What is your name?" He blushed, looking at her, "My name is Jumbe, and as much as I would like to join your clan, I can't. I am on a journey."

Jumbe.... That name sounds familiar, Shenzi thought.

The female rolled her eyes, "You rogues and your need to breed. You should stay. I could use you. You're submissive, take orders well, and you're not bad when it comes to making pups, besides, I'm starting to get tired of being surrounded by a bunch of gray males. We're all the same color, you on the other hand, you're different. This clan needs new blood." Jumbe bowed his head low, "I am sorry, Matriarch, but I cannot join your clan right now. I need to complete my journey first." The much larger female growled, "Then go, get out of my sight, rogue, stop quivering before me if you're not going to submit to me completely." The male yipped, scurrying away, tail between his legs as he headed towards his old den.

Sala had just started to wake up again, yawing as her eyes opened up. The cave was cool and felt wonderful compared to the outside. She stared up into the sky, poking her head out to look around, spotting her father running towards her. "Hey daddy," she said, smiling at him. "No time to talk or get food, honey, we need to get going," he replied, panting as he looked at her, reaching down to grab her by the nape and pull her out of the hole.

"Why's that daddy?" She ask, puzzled.

"Because, daddy did something a bit stupid, and the best thing to do is get out of here as fast as we can." He bent down, grabbing her by the nape again as he started away from the den at a good trot, the cub bouncing around in his grip.

Shenzi was puzzled, the name was familiar, why was it so familiar. The more she thought about it, the more she started to remember. It was the name of the matriarch's son, the one she and her clan had killed to take this land. The big hyena growled at her own stupidity for letting him have his way with her. She had just lost her chance of wiping out the survivors of Jumbe's clan. Why had she let that chance go by? Maybe she was getting too soft in her old age, or maybe she just needed someone to take care of her needs, just like Jumbe needed to take care of his. Her mind thought it over, she could take her clan to war and go after him, or she could let him go and let nature kill him for her all the while she might be pregnant with his cubs. She thought it over, thinking through both options. Finally, she decided. She was going to let him go. If she was full of his cubs, it would mean new blood to the clan, and new strength. Let the Matriarchs of Old deal with him, they must have a plan.

Jumbe ran and ran and ran, not looking back. He couldn't believe he'd let his genitals do the thinking. He'd slept with the matriarch of clan who had murdered his family. There was certainly irony in this, and the Matriarchs of Old must have seen to this, but their enjoyment wasn't worth his or Sala's life, so he kept on running until he couldn't run any more, petering out not long after they crossed out of the clan's territory.
