Kyano sorta smiled at Miko. He felt a little bit better knowing he was around friends.

"Thanks Miko"Kyano said still a little nervous but trying to feel better.

"Who would have guessed that Khannie out of every animal is going to have cubs?" Louie commented surprised.

Just then Hathi came back over, "Elliott, are you going to hang out doing nothing all da--" he paused as he heard, and saw, Louie.

The Organgutan was, as Bagheera had said, just a goof off mainly, and not causing trouble.

(ooc: Hehe, I apologize, just couldn't resist this next...)

"Cubs?" he asked, hearing the later end of what Louie said, "who's having cubs?".

Then...his look went over to Namita, who once noticing this, backed up immediately, "N-no! Not me!" she said, "I got one...well nephew anyway" she pointed to Miko.

"Allison!" she went on to explain, "Her and Shere Khan, they're having cubs".

"Oh" Hathi said, "Well...quite a development for the jungle this..." he looked thoughtful, "Yes...don't know quite what to think..." he went on.

Miko smiled, "Anytime" he told Kyano.

"All this cubs talk" Mowgli shook his head coming over, "Come on guys, let's all go do something away from the boring adults".

"Like what?" Elliott asked, interested. Mowgli thought, then shrugged, "I don't know, we'll find something".

Miko shrugged, "Well I guess it's better than sitting here".

"Yeah we could all play a game or something. Besides we all need to get our mids off of Shere Khan. And I've never played with humans before this should be a lot of fun" Kyano said.

"Well" Mowgli couldn't help smiling, "I do know quite a few games from the man-village, one of my friends there, Shanti, taught me most of them...and Ranjan here" he smiled to his adopted little brother.

"Like..." he thought for a bit, "there's this one game where you set up opposite sides of the camp...or bit of jungle in our case, as your zone and one team tries to get it to that side, while there other aims for that side" Mowgli indicated to explain.

"of course...there are five of us and that's an odd number..." Mowgli realized, then smiled, "Ranjan, you get to keep score" he said. the little kid jumped up and down, "Yay, keeping score's fun, you get to draw in the dirt!" he said.

Dash The Longneck · **Reply #105 on:** September 10, 2009, 11:22:27 PM

Kyano looked suspicious like he had no idea what or how this game was played even after explaining it. Kyano was always eager to learn though. He was "hands on" anyway in other words when someone explained it to him he was clueless. He was more interested in learning by doing the thing.

So what are the teams"? Kyano said.

tempestwheel · **Reply #106 on:** September 11, 2009, 07:32:18 AM

Allison and Khan made it back to Khan's den. "Home sweet home," she said.

Kit12 · **Reply #107 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:23:31 AM

Shere Khan had never thought of his den like that, but Allison put a nice spin on it. "Yes, I suppose it is" he said.

~~~~

"Yeah, I know hard to explain" Mowgli said, "but come on I'll show you guys" he skipped over to the clearing just near where the adults still were.

Nonetheless, "Not to far..." Namita called.

"We won't" Miko answered before disappearing into the brush with everyone else.

"Well, one good thing" Namita commented to the others, "with cubs coming, whether he knows it or not, Shere Khan's gonna have alot to focus on; maybe he'll leave Mowgli alone for a while due to it".

~~~~

"Ok" Mowgli bent and tied some leaves of one side of the clearing they were in to make a sort of loop, "This is one goal, and..." he skipped over to do the same to the others, "this will be the other".

"Now, teams..." he looked at what there was to work with with Elliott and his newer friends of Kyano and Miko.

"I guess Elliott and me could go against you and Miko, if you wanted" he told Kyano.

"Ok" Miko was ok with the plan, "What do we kick back and forth?" he asked. Mowgli sighed and looked at the trees, "Yeah, we will need a bit of fruit that's not gonna break on us after we kick it alot of times".

Dash The Longneck · **Reply #108 on:** September 11, 2009, 12:50:04 PM

"How about like a coconut"? Kyano said thinking of the first firm fruit he could think of.

tempestwheel · **Reply #109 on:** September 11, 2009, 06:00:46 PM

Bagheera kept talking with Namita. "So how has Basdev been?" he asked.

Kit12 · **Reply #110 on:** September 11, 2009, 07:05:45 PM

"Yeah, that could work..." Mowgli scanned the trees. He soon spotted one too. "Oh perfect, ok guys I'll be right down" he said, quickly climbing up the tree and making his way over to where the coconut was. Luckily this tree wasn't too big around and he could climb it with or without claws

(ooc: I think coconut tress are kinda thick...aren't they...oh well, for all I know they don't even grow in India, so while we're making a few things up why not go full force LOL)

Namita smiled and glanced down, "Well...I guess I didn't ever really tell you why I was watching Miko" she said.

"In our old jungle there was this group of jaguars, sort of a local band of bullies even in adulthood you might say" Namita sighed, "they caused trouble for weeks ever since they themselves came to our jungle due to being shipped and then lost there. They'd gotten it into their heads they wanted the spot of territory we and Basev were using and...well things came to head the day their leader Exavier threatened Miko personally...".

"I...don't know why he did it" Namita went on, "I mean he was always not fond of the cub sure but...well anyway Basdev of course leapt in to defend his son and...".

Namita shut her eyes and shook her head, "Bagheera you know I'd never wish harm on anyone but...it really should have been Exavier, if anyone to perish in that fight not...not my brother" she got out in a whisper.

She'd tried to hold in her tears through this story, but by the end they were free-flowing.

OOC: You know, with this backstory I've created, which I haven't even fully explain here, I could bring these characters in for conflict once the other plot(s) have calmed down, or whenever works...just thinking.

tempestwheel · **Reply #111 on:** September 11, 2009, 07:34:52 PM

"Oh my....." Bagheera said in silent shock.

Kit12 · **Reply #112 on:** September 12, 2009, 12:00:29 AM

Namita gave another smile, albeit a sad one, "I--I know, you didn't mean to bring all this up with such a simple question" she said, "but..." she glanced in the direction the kids had rushed off in, "We're...ok, relatively speaking" she said, meaning both herself and Miko.

"It was when Miko was a lot younger, probably around the age Ranjan would be, though I can't really tell with humans" she gave a more sincere smile this time, then sighed.

"It's...part of why we came here finally" Namita admitted, "sort of...running away from the situation and...them".

Kyano smiled and backed up a little bit so the coconut didn't hit him on the head when it came down.

He couldn't believe how many friends he was making.

Kit12 · **Reply #114 on:** September 12, 2009, 10:03:14 AM

"Alright..." Mowgli twisted at the coconut until it came free, "Heads up!" he dropped it. Ranjan ran to try and catch it, but he missed, although as if provingi it's streanght, the coconut just hit the ground and kept rolling.

"Wow" Miko knocked on it with one paw, "that is strong".

"Should be just perfect" Mowgli added, climbing down from the tree.

tempestwheel · **Reply #115 on:** September 12, 2009, 11:07:41 AM

"Considering I'm now pregnant," Allsion commented. "I'm not sure if I should keep hunting until after the cubs have come out."

Kit12 · **Reply #116 on:** September 12, 2009, 09:09:41 PM

Shere Khan gave a small smile while still scanning about his territory as if for said purpose, "Well no worries My Dear, I was sort of expecting for you to keep up the tradition of females being high maintenance" he joked, turning a refined yet amused smile Allison's way.

"I shall be back shortly since I take it you only mention this now because you're hungry now" he half asked.

~~~~

Ranjan sat himself in the dirt with a stick, preparing to keep score.

"Alright, Kyano, Miko, you guys just try to make sure Elliott and I don't get this into that goal back there" he pointed to the one behind the two cats, "and Elliott and I will do the same for this one" he pointed to the one behind him as Elliott walked up.

"Sounds simple" Miko nodded, "we can do that, can't we Kyano" he smiled over at the tiger cub.

Ranjan threw the coconut into fair play for the four others and with a kick, Mowgli set it soaring up into the air a bit and then it came back down...

tempestwheel · **Reply #117 on:** September 12, 2009, 09:46:07 PM

"Thank you Khan," Allison said appreciatively.

"Yeah I guess"Kyano said feeling a little bit bad. After all Mowgli taught them this game so all ready he'd be better then Kyano right? Kyano wasn't really someone who enjoyed losing at all.

When the coconut came down near him he kicked it toward Mowgli and Elliot's goal and then kicks the coconut over to Miko.

Kit12 · **Reply #119 on:** September 13, 2009, 11:00:52 AM

Miko attempted to stop the coconut, but ended up stopping it with his head, which hurt a bit. He winced but was mainly ok and turned to see where the goal was.

"Elliott block" Mowgli called, focusing more on teaching his friends the game than winning (he'd just beat the pants off the villiage kids again later when they played, like he always did...or told himself he always did).

"Oh, right" Eliott rushed towards the goal, but Miko was able to kick it through.

"As Pop would say, Botheration!" Elliott sighed as he watched the coconut sail through his feet, yet laughed.

"Yay!" Ranjan looked at the dirt, "uh...think that mark goes there..." he made a big line with his stick.

Khan meanwhile sniffed for the scent of any prey and slowly began to follow it out.
