”I’m sorry, what was the thing you said after the strongest?” I asked the king.

”The slyest?” he replied. 

I nearly jumped out of my skin when Rafiki laugh. “Yes, the slyest member in the Lion Guard! This animal must be able to maneuver between enemy lines and conduct ambush attacks and act as a scout for nighttime missions!"

I nodded my head slightly. I didn't remember this being part of the show when I first saw the trailer. "Oh, well that makes sense then, thanks for explaining!!" I smiled at the baboon.

"Yes, Bunga?" he asked.

Wide eyed the young animal cried, "This is un-bunga-lievable!!"

"You see, Simba?" he questioned. "And now Kion will choose the best lions in the Pride for the Guard."

Simba sighed solemnly as he stared at our small forms growing smaller on the horizon, one of them destined to lead the strongest group of animals in the land.

"I hope so, Rafiki," he stated. "I'm still just not sure he's ready..."

Chapter 6: Wary Suspicions (3rd POV)

A bird was soaring overhead and a loud caw was audible as Sauda trailed next to Kion as they processed and went over the huge amount of information we'd just took in. The dark furred lion cub could tell that Kion was definitely excited enough by the tone of his voice as he spoke, but the way his eyes lit up as he talked about what we'd just learned and the way his tail was practically wagging confirmed it. Sauda giggled at his behavior and listened to what he was saying. 

"Wow! Me!?" he exclaimed. "Leader of the Lion Guard... Protectors of the Pride Lands!!"

His expression changed with what he said next. "It's kinda scary..."

His ears had drooped slightly with the statement and Sauda being the person she was, playfully nudged him in the shoulder hard enough to grab his attention. Kion's head turned to her with a questioning gaze and in response his new friend smirked and then ran in front of him, crouching down rear end raised in the air. 'What is she doing?', the lion cub thought.

Sauda noticed he seemed almost seemed bewildered by her actions when he stopped and stared at her confusedly. She thought for a moment on what to do from there and then as if a proverbial lightbulb appeared over head lit up with an idea, she adopted a impish grin before letting out a low growl. Her tail flicking behind her and eyes narrowed with a gleam in them that screamed mischief to Kion, the dark furred female almost seemed to want to play-fight with him! Kion didn't seem to be able to believe what his eyes were seeing. 

Sauda however continued to smirk at him until he too grinned mischievously and lowered his front half down to the ground and began to slowly circle her. Beginning to move as well so he didn't run into her, Sauda looked Kion in the eyes, mentally gauging what his next possible movements would be. Both cubs' ears twitching back in forth, tail ends dancing behind their bodies and sharp feline eyes measuring up each other's opponent, they continued their dance for what seemed like eternity.
