As soon as Shan Yu turned to attack Kovu, Esmeralda poked Djali, and looked at her clothes. The tiny goat understood, and swam as quietly as he could to the shore. He quicky found Esmeralda's clothes and even her wand.
He shuddered, remembering the time she had turned him into Gus-Gus, but now was not the time for fear. He gnashed his teeth around the wand too, and ran quickly away with the clothes and the wand clamped in his mouth.
Esmeralda swam to the shore on safe distance from Shan Yu. Djali was there, waiting for her, and she patted his head before disappearing into the bushes to put on her clothes. She ran her fingers through her raven curls, hoping she didn't look too bad. She wanted to look as beautiful as she could for Kovu.
When she came out of the bushes with her wand in her hand, she turned to look at her beloved lion again. Her eyes were filled with love for him, and also anxiety that he might get hurt.
She looked at the sharp sword in Shan Yu's hand and shook her head. A glimpse of humor appeared in her eyes. She didn't want to budge into the fight directly, and ruin Kovu's fun.... but she was allowed to help him a little, wasn't she?
Chuckling with laughter she lifted her wand, and a bright light lit up the meadow where she was standing. Her wand started glowing, and she threw a spark in the direction of Shan Yu's sword. The sword was surrounded by a bright light. When the light faded, Shan Yu was holding a soft, cuddly-looking tiny teddy bear!

When his sword was changed into a stuffed bear Shan Yu was obviously irritated. He threw the bear behind him with a bit of anger then got ready to fight the lion barehanded.
"I don't need a weapon to kill you. This just makes it more fun for me. So lion. Do you think I should torture the gypsy first or just kill her after I'm done with you?"
Then Shan Yu charged at the lion going directly for the the lions head, trying to grab him.

Kovu jumped aside, waiting for Shan Yu's next attack, when his sword turned into a teddy bear. Kovu gave the hunter a sly smiled, his eyes moving over to Esmerelda. She was standing with her wand on bank safely away. His eyes sparkled with appriciation but he was distracted from her when Shan Yu charged at him with his bare hands.
"The only torturing to be done is on you!" growled Kovu passionately. "You will not harm another person again!"
Just then he felt the warrior get a hold of his head and was surprised by the overwhelming strength. Kovu roared aloud as his head was jerked back and quickly began snapping at every bit of flesh he could get at. He raised up on his back legs and pawed at the air with his claws. He hadn't been trained as a killer for nothing!

Esmeralda met Kovu's eyes for a moment after turning Shan Yu's sword into a teddy bear. He didn't seem angry, instead he gave the warrior a sly smile before his eyes met hers, sparkling with appreciation. Esmeralda looked at him, and her own eyes revealed how much she loved him.
Esmeralda gasped when Shan Yu charged at Kovu with bare hands, afraid that her beloved lion might get hurt. With her heart pounding in her chest, and anxiety in her eyes she watched the fight, ready to help her beloved Kovu if he should need her. There was no way she could leave him now, not alone with this warrior.
She blushed and looked admiringly at Kovu as he attacked the other warrior. Kovu had told her he was trained as a killer. But this was the first time ever she had seen him fight. She was impressed by his strength and his fighting technique, and knowing that he was fighting to protect her, only made her love him more.

The sound of thunder. It was all that could be heard for a short moment of time. There was no storm, it was the loud bang of a gun that made the sound. Where did the sound come from? Well a short distance away from the fight that was going on was Gaston holding a gun aimed at Shan Yu. There was no smile on Gaston's face, he had a angry glare on his face that showed what he was feeling. The guns ammo had been replaced with some plastic bullets, they would hurt a lot but wouldn't kill the target.
"You are outmatched Shan Yu, I think its time that you left this place."
Gaston said with an emotionless tone. There where somethings he couldn't stand. Most of the other villains hated Gaston, so he thought it was time to return the feelings.

That sound of a gunshot had become a familiar sound to Shan Yu. A sound he hated, he though that real warriors should never use guns. Then he soon felt the non lethal bullets hit him in the back. This got his attention and as he turned his head to see who would dare shoot him his anger rose up a little.
"Well if it isn't the traitor. You seem to have a death wish. I thought dying once would be enough for you. This time when you fall there will be no miracle that can save you."
Shan Yu then whistled and a horse came running out of the bushes toward Shan. As it was running Shan got on and rode it out of the area.
"You can't hide forever Gaston. Soon I will get rid of you. Who is going to save you? No one"
*Shan Yu exits the area on his horse*

Kovu's eyes burst wide as he heard the rumble of a shotgun. Clayton! he instantly thought. Not here, not now!
Instantly Shan Yu released him and rode away on his horse. Kovu lay panting on the ground, the energy required to keep the hun at bay was more than he had imagined. His body ached and he knew there would be bruises in the morning.
Looking around for the hunter, he was surprised to see a tall man with dark hair. He was very strong, as could be seen by the rippling muscles. Kovu, having a man bad experiances with hunters, quickly got to his feet and turned on the man. He placed himself between the stranger and Esmerelda. He growled protectively, although he didn't have the physical energy for another fight.

As Shan Yu left, Gaston continued to aim his gun at him until he left the area completely. He then turned his attention to the lion that growled at him. First, he wasn't sure why he had been fighting with Shan Yu, but after looking around the area he saw Esmeralda. Gaston only nodded to the lion, he then spun his gun around and set the gun on the ground next to him.
"I'm not here to fight you. You must be Kovu, my name is Gaston, any person who dislikes Shan Yu can't be all bad."
Something was very different about Gaston today, he wasn't angry, but he wasn't smiling either. At this moment he really did'nt know how to feel, this moment was one he had been waiting for ever since he first spoke to Esmeralda again.

Esmeralda had kept herself near Kovu, yet on safe distance from Shan Yu during the fight. This to be capable to get to her lion's side quickly should he get injured and need her help. When she heard the shotgun, she prepared to throw herself over Kovu, to protect him from eventual bullets. But to her surprise it was Shan Yu who got attacked and had to retreat.
She looked at Kovu with surprise, but also with worry, afraid that he might be injured. She noticed how sore his muscles seeded to be from the way he moved, and promised herself that as soon as they were alone, she would soak his fur in healing oils and give him a solid massage. She gave him a smile and whispered to him already before Gaston appeared.
"I will give you a massage later, I hope that will make you feel better. Thank you, my love, for protecting me as bravely as you do. But who is the shooter that helped us? Surely not Clayton."
She heard a male voice she knew she had heard before, and her emerald eyes widened in surprise.
"You are outmatched Shan Yu, I think its time that you left this place."
She looked at Kovu again and whispered.
"Gaston? What is he doing here? Though I am glad he helped you against Shan Yu..."
Esmeralda turned her head and looked up when Gaston arrived. He didn't look angry, but he wasn't smiling either. She had no idea what was on his mind. She spoke calmly to him, hoping she didn't make the situation worse. Her voice was light, and filled with humor, as always in a pressed situation.
"Hello, Gaston. Nice shot. Thank you for chasing Shan Yu away. If we had known he was afraid to show himself in public in swim trunks, we would never have invited him to swim with us."

Kovu gave Esmerelda a grateful smile when she said she would take care of him later. He watched this Gaston fellow carefully. After Clayton, any human with a gun was the enemy.
"How do you know me?" he demanded. "And how do you know Esme?"
[[Low muse, sorry.]]

"Esmeralda and I have known each other for quite a while now. As for you Kovu, Esmeralda is.... a very good friend of mine. She had told me a lot about you. I have been....wanting to meet you for a long time now."
For some reason Gaston kept pausing as he spoke. Their where many things he wanted to say to the lion right now, but most where not his place. He couldn't remove his serious expression, hiding his true feelings was the only thing he could focus on.

Kovu looked between the gypsy and Gaston. What had Esmerelda said about him? Why did Gaston want to meet him so badly?
"Well, thank you for your help," he said tartly. "Where are you from?"

Esmeralda smiled and stroke Kovu's mane gently.
"I have only told him about our past - and how much you mean to me," she said softly. "I have also told him about how noble and strong and protective you are, and about how you make me feel when I am near you. Everything I have said about you is true."
She looked over at Gaston and smiled, then turned her focus to Kovu again.
"Gaston is from France, like me. But he is not from Paris. He is a good friend, and has protected me from being attacked by an Englishman named Lord Cutler Beckett. He has been very friendly with me."

"I do what i can to help out around the park. Being a villain doesn't give me a good reputation. It is true that I use to be a hunter, but now I only use my gun against the other villains."
Gaston was still being surprisingly serious. This was a test of himself, Gaston had let jealousy control him once before, and now was his chance to redeem himself in his own mind. Unfortunately, the next he said was something that he shouldn't have.
"So, Kovu how is your new family?"

Kovu listened to the two humans talking and blushed a little at Esmerelda's compliments of him. It was still hard for him to believe that she really cared about him in such a deep way.
When Gaston asked about his family, Kovu glared at the hunter and growled low. He didn't want to go into it with this man. If Esmerelda wanted to discuss it, that was her choice.
