A Hyena's Tale Ch. 3

Chapter Three: Jasiri

"So, tell me, why should Me and my clan wait here?"

The group of Spotted Hyenas crowed behind a rock, Listening to their Leader speak with his younger Brother.

"Because," Tombie said, "After what I've heard from my Boys, You and Jasiri aren't exactly on Friendly Terms. So, while you and your clan wait here, I'll go and explain everything to her. Besides, I know her really well."

Janja tilted his head, "You know her?"

"Oh yeah," Tombie nodded," Our clans have helped each other many times before. I've even Babysat for the little ones. Those two are the cutest little Tiddlers I've ever met. And Madoa..." At the mention of Jasiri's younger sister, Tombie had a dreamy look on his face, "Oh that Madoa...."

This small act made Janja more confused, "What about her?"

Coming back to earth, Tombie shook his head and got back on the topic, "N-never mind! You all just stay here, and I'll take care of everything."

"Sire, Sure," Janja nodded irritably, "Just don't take all day."

"Don't worry, Janj. I'll be back before dark." With that being said, The red Hyena turned and walked off.

--

The female Hyena walked through the Large Gorge that neighbored her own Territory. It was a lot of Pressure having a sister, two little Cubs, and a whole clan to be responsible for, and the job had gotten harder with the threat of Scar on their very doorstep, not to mention him having Crocodiles, Jackals, and other hyenas on his side, outnumbering her own clan. Despite these obstacles, Jasiri knew that she was the only one that could lead her Clan through the toughness of these times.

"You know, it's not a bad idea to go walking by yourself, but not with an evil army at large."

The Spotted Hyena looked around for the source of the male voice, and saw her Red-Furred friend approaching her.

"Oh, it's you, Tombie." She said, clearly relieved.

"Hello, Jasiri," Tombie smiled at his friend, "Long time, no see, huh? I haven't seen you since you fell into that quicksand."

"Well If I recall correctly," Jasiri smirked, "You're the one who got into that mess, and I'm the one who got you out." She returned the kind smile to him, "Good to see you, Tombie."

"The same to you, Big J," Tombie nodded, "How's the Clan?"

Hearing this question from her friend, Jasiri put on her usual teasing face, "Madoa's fine, Thanks." She Laughed.

This answer made Tombie go so red his Cheeks somehow got redder, "Uh, T-that's Not what I meant, I-i mean it's good that she's good, B-but still I mean," He ceased his stuttering when he remembered why he came to his friend, "Listen, I kinda came because I need a favor."

"Of course, Tombie," Jasiri stepped closer, listening to him, "You just name it, and I'll do it."

"Thank you, Jasiri." He sat dwn as he continued, "Well, do you remember that I said I had a brother that I hadn't seen In years?"

"Sure do, Isn't he the one who bullied you because you didn't like big meats?"

"That's right. Anyways, I just met up with him again today, and he and his friends recently got kicked out of their home, and I was wondering if they could Crash with you and your Clan."

Hearing her friends favor, Jasiri felt rather unsure about this.

''After everything Tombie told me about his brother he wants me to shelter him and some other bad eggs? What is he thinking? Hmm..... well, it would be the right thing to do I guess. Sisi Ni Sawa after all....''

Jasiri turned back to Tombie, "Tombie, you got yourself a deal."

Tombie stood up quickly as he looked extremely pleased, "Great, Thanks Jasiri!" He quickly turned and ran in the other direction, "I'm gonna go get him!"

Jasiri watched as her friend ran off, having a feeling of mixed thoughts.

Well, I do feel good that I did the right thing, I just wonder how this is going to turn out....

--

Jasiri had alerted her clan and had them make preparations for company in her turf. While some Hyenas cleaned out the dens, the rest made sure the rest of the Territory was clean, too.

But none of them were more anxious about Tombie coming over than one Hyena.

Madoa.

Jasiri's sister had helped several Hyenas with the cleaning before she had gone over to the Watering hole at the center of their Home to freshen up.

"Busy?"

Madoa turned to see her older sister apporaching her, with a smile that said, 'I know what you're doing.'

"U-um, No, I mean y-yes, Yes I am." Madoa stuttered nervously.

Seeing this, Jasiri laughed, "Don't worry, Madoa. I know you like him, and he's a very responsible Hyena. He's a very good choice."

Madoa smiled, knowing that her sister approved of her crush.

"Jasiri!" One of the male Hyenas came running up to his leader, "Tombie has just arrived."

"Oh good," Jasiri replied, "What about his brother?"

"Before I answer that, there's something I forgot to tell you," The hyena continued, "He's with Janja and his clan!"

"What!?" Jasiri excaimed before turning to the rest of the clan, "Everyone, the preparations can wait, prepare for battle!"

--

Soon enough, they saw the group of Male spotted hyenas crossing into their turf. With Their leader at the front, They all stood their ground, ready for a battle.

The teenage female stepped forward and addressed the other leader with a growl, 'What're you dong here, Janja?"

The Other leader looked puzzled, "Uh, didn't Tombie tell you?

"Tombie didn't say anything about you." Jasiri answered him, "Now either you leave now or face all o-"

"Hey, wait! Wait! Wait a minute!"

They two of them turned their heads to see the white maned Hyena running towards them with Two Striped hyenas along with him, "Hey, Jasiri, I'm here! Oh, I see you've found Janjy!"

"More like he's found us," Jasiri scoffed, 'why'd you bring him here, Tombie?"

"Uh I said I was bringing my brother, didn't I?"

What happened next could best be described as a collabration of different gasps from Jasiri's clan. And the biggest came from Jasiri.

Janja clenched his teeth together nervously, 'Oh Geez...."
