Chapter 13: Asani's betrayal
"C'mon, Asani! We have to follow him! It's going to be fun!" Tadashi encouraged his friend, as the lioness was kind of skeptical of following, but she knew that she had to.
The lions followed the baboon, to an unfamiliar place that either of them never seen before.
"Whoa." Asani said, "Dashi, where you think he's taking us?"
Rafiki replied, "To a special place in your heart. It's called, "Upendi."
"There's a crazy place, where the makes the monkey sings and baboons swoon,
and the sultry scent of the lotus bloom, will carry you away!
Asani sniffs and causes her to sneeze, which made Tadashi chuckled.
"Where the hippos swings from the jungle vines, and the rhinos in a conga line, and the flamingos are intertwined as the stars come out to play!
Chorus and Rafiki: "In Upendi!
Rafiki: "Where the passion fruit goes sweet! And it's so divine, that you'll lose your mind, as it swept you off your feet!
In Upendi! Without a worry or a care! It just takes two to make it through! Your heart will lead you there!"
Tadashi was excited as he asked, "Rafiki, I'm very curious. Where is it, can you please tell me?"
The baboon chuckled at the young prince's question, "In no place you take with you."
The young prince laughs at the answer he had received.
" You better watch your step, cause the path is steep, better hold your breath because the water's deep.
It is a long way down to a lover's leap, but falling's half the fun!"
Asani and Tadashi laughed at the fun they were having, as that the experience was incredible.
"In Upendi! Where the passion fruit grows sweet!" The passion fruit came to the lions as that Asani caught one in her mouth, and tries to shallow it , but it was chocking her, as Tadashi notices it quickly and kiss her cheek to help her.
She blushed as she shallow it down, "Thanks. "
"And it's so divine, that you'll lose your mind, as it sweeps you off your feet!
In Updeni! Without a worry or a care! It just takes two to make it through, your heart will take you there.
You can take a beat the bush like there is no tomorrow. From Tanganyika to Kilimanjaro!
You'll find Updeni, in wherever you are, oh, even underneath the sun!"
Asani realizes what the word meant, "Hey, Dashi, I figure it out! It means love, doesn't it?"
Rafiki: "Welcome to Updeni!"
Chorus : "In Updeni! Where the passion fruit grows sweet!
And it's so divine, that you'll lose your mind as it sweeps you off your feet! In Updeni!
It just takes two, to make it through!
Your heart...
Will take you there! "
Asani and Tadashi decided to head back to Pride Rock, as Asani couldn't hold herself to sing the song. "Updeni. Updeni."
The lions laughed as they approached the cave, Asani and Tadashi showed their affection to each other, muzzling.
"Good night, Asani." Tadashi said, as he was happy to experience the love that his parents had felt for each other. He now know that he was meant to be with her, as that she was an important soulmate that he couldn't bear to lose.
"Night, Dashi. " She replied, but the lions looked at the lonely rock that the lioness had been using since she had come to the Pridelands.
As they go their separate ways, Tadashi couldn't help but sigh happily that he spend the whole day with Asani.
"Oh." He mutters to himself, as Aziz watches the lioness lay down to the cold, stone corner.
The queen looked back at the cave, as she smiled at what can be done for her.
"Oh, your highness." Asani said, being amazed by being noticed by the queen.
"Asani, I guess that it is cold tonight huh? How about you cozy up at the cave with us?"
"Are you sure?" She asked, as the queen nods, "C'mon, it's quite cozy here. You can spend the night. "
"Thank you, your majesty." She said in gratitude as she follows the queen's lead.
In the distance, Kayo was watching. "Asani, go get Aziz! You can do this. You were born for this."
He saw her walking with the queen, but not attacking as she was meant to do. "Sis. No, what you doing?
Go get her, please, I beg of you!"
But the lion sees the lioness headed inside the cave, that it was the infinite truth that he didn't want to see.
That the chosen one, the one that will bring a prophecy to his family, go in shambles. "I can't believe she done this! I have to tell Mother."
He ran from Pride Rock to see that Zira was awaiting for his report on Asani. She was quite curious of what had happened.
"Well, have you look on our spy? Did Asani did the deed?" She asked, but looking at her son's eyes, she knew that something had indeed go wrong.
"Kyo, what did you see? Tell me." She commanded. "Of course, Mother. I watched her and it appears that she didn't do it, and she has switched sides. She has betrayed us."
The lioness roared in anger, in disbelief that her own daughter will do this outrageous behavior .
"Are you sure that she has betrayed us?"
Kayo nods in respond, "Affirmative. I wouldn't lie if I didn't see it for myself. I feel disgusted."
Zira shook her head, "No. Asani cannot betray us. It is not possible!"
As the lioness storms off, Kayo was still puzzled by his sister's actions. "You made a terrible mistake, Asani. You are in a illusion with that prince. I knew that he is meant for trouble, i'm going to save you from him if it is the last thing I do."
