Roar of Manipulation

Chapter 9 Janja's Plan

Despite his doubts, Kion had managed to fall asleep. He was still asleep after everyone had gotten up. Everyone agreed with Jasiri when she advised to let Kion continue to sleep. Jasiri like yesterday continued to lay with him. She got up once around noon to go over to what was leftover of the carcasses from last night.

She took a rib bone that still had some meat on it and chewed on it for a while. When she was done, she tore off some meat for Kion to eat when he woke up and dragged it over to him. Jasiri than carefully settled herself back into the sleeping lions embrace to continue laying with him until he got up. Jasiri looked around the den. Simba had gone to receive the morning report from Zazu, Nala gathered the hunting party, Vitani and her guard joined by Kovu and gone out to patrol the Pride Lands and keep an eye out for Janja, and the rest of the pride, Kiara included had gone out to the sun bathing rocks on the other side of Pride Rock.

So, Jasiri and Kion were completely alone. Taking advantage of the situation, Jasiri shifted herself around and licked Kion, dragging her tongue across his jawline and onto his cheek. His dirty fur left a bitter taste in her mouth, but she didn't care. Jasiri than quickly rubbed her round nose against Kion's flat one before shifting back into her original position. A half hour passed in peaceful silence; it was so peaceful in fact that Jasiri nearly dosed off until she felt something lightly brush against her side.

Jasiri's body jolted before she looked to see what had brushed against her side and saw that it was Kion's tail tuft. She looked towards his face to see that he was still asleep. Smiling, she continued to lay there, wrapped under one of Kion's forelegs and enjoying the feeling of Kion's tail tuft lightly brushing against her side. A few minutes passed and Jasiri felt Kion's tail tuft start brushing further down her body, to her hip, down her legs, over the tops of her back paws, and than it started lightly brushing against her paw pads. Jasiri let Kion's tail tuft brush against her back-paw pads for a minute until it started to tickle, so she carefully pushed it away with her paws.

About ten seconds passed before Jasiri felt Kion's tail tuft start to lightly brush against her paw pads again. Jasiri's smile widened in both amusement and from the ticklish sensation Kion's brushing tail caused. She let it go on for a couple minutes before she began to giggle lightly and wiggle her toes from the ticklish sensation, so she once again pushed Kion's tail away. Almost immediately, Kion's tail tuft went back to brushing against Jasiri's back-paw pads, tickling her. Jasiri immediately began to lightly giggle again.

"Kion, for your sake, I hope you're actually asleep and your tail is doing this subconsciously." Jasiri warned.

Jasiri for a third time, pushed Kion's tail away. Thirty tickle free seconds passed before Kion's tail started again, causing Jasiri to burst out giggling this time.

"Alright Kion, now I know you're doing this on purpose!" Jasiri accused.

Jasiri kicked Kion's tail away and looked back at Kion's face, expecting to find a mischievous look on it to confirm her accusation. Kion's face however gave nothing away. Jasiri slowly turned her head back around and waited for her chance. As soon as Kion's tail tuft began to try tickling her again, she quickly turned her head around and saw a mischievous smirk on Kion's face and one of his eyes were half opened. Kion quickly tried to make his face look like he was still asleep, but it was too late.

"Ah-ha! I caught you!" Jasiri shouted victoriously.

"No, you didn't." Kion whispered.

Kion tried to tickle Jasiri with his tail tuft again, but she caught it between her paws. She than flicked Kion's nose, it didn't actually hurt, but it did cause him to yelp.

"That's for trying to tickle my paws!" Jasiri said as she laughed.

Kion rubbed his nose where Jasiri had flicked him.
