Esmeralda looked over at Gaston, her emerald eyes widened in disbelief, and perhaps also a little in disappointment. Why was he speaking to Kovu like that? It was not his fault that they had been forced to separate their ways. She wrapped her arms around Kovu, pulling him into a hug, to show Kovu that she loved him - no matter what others might say about it.
"I am certain that anyone related to Kovu are great, just by sheer joy of having him with them," she said to Gaston, without relasing Kovu. Her tiny hands started giving Kovu a gentle shoulder rub, and she hoped it would help his sore muscles. She spoke mildly to Kovu as she rubbed his shoulder.
"Awwwww, my poor dear, you are tense today! I hope I soon will make you feel better! I will come to your place later and bring some oil with me, so we can work out this tension."

Gaston was going through a inner struggle, there was still part of him that was a villain, jealous, angry wanting to do things that would be considered quite evil. The other part was the good fighting to keep him under control, thinking he can change, can have new friends, can fall in love again. What came out was a mixture of hatefulness, sorrow and pain, but no anger. Ht was holding back the best he could. His ego mixed with his feeling where making him say things he would most likely regret later, but for now he was just letting bad feelings control him.
"What's wrong kitty? Did I hit a sensitive subject? Maybe you should focus on your real family. Don't growl at me kitten, I am way more man than you can handle!"
In his own mind and heart he knew that he had to see the two of them together to confirm his thoughts. The way Esmeralda was around Kovu, it was obvious that Gaston could no longer pursue his romance with her and it hurt. He knew it would, but he had hoped he could handle it this time.

Esmeralda continued to rub Kovu's shoulders gently, but hearing Gaston's words, made her lift her emerald gaze towards him in childlike wonder. After all, she was only a 16 year old girl, a fact many men forgot because of her mature looks. Pure of heart as she was, jealousy didn't exist in her nature. She had never been jealous of others, and she did not understand why Gaston was looking like he did, or saying those words.
"Why are you talking to him like that?" She asked innocently. "He has never done anything to you. Kovu is focusing on his real family. He protects me and Djali as a real husband and family father should."
She smiled and hugged Kovu lovingly, expecting him to be angry at her for those words. But did he really expect that she would put up with him being attacked like that? Again she looked at her hand, where Kovu's ring was glittering on her finger.
It reminded her of something, and she found the giftwrapped box Gaston had given her, and placed it in his hand, before returning to Kovu again. With her arms around Kovu's neck, she spoke calmly to Gaston.
"It becomes clear to me that you are way more man than I can handle too, Gaston. I am sorry, but I have made my choice. My heart belongs to Kovu, whether he wants me or not."

Gaston smiled and laughed a little to himself. All of a sudden he seemed a little more calm and in a better mood. He then then opened the box that was returned to him and opened it so that only he could see for a moment. Whatever was in the box was the only thing he looked a as he spoke.
"I already knew that when I came here. I already knew what would happen, I've done this once before. It looks like I couldn't handle it this time either."
From the box Gaston pulled a gold heart pendant that was on a gold chain. It opened but only he could see what was inside for now. His attention never seemed to stray from the necklace.
"If you remember I told you I wasn't trying to take Kovu's place, and that I would help you if you needed it. I didn't lie or change my mind about that. I didn't get this to remind you of me."
With a smile Gaston turned the necklace around to reveal what was inside of it. Two pictures where in the heart, Esmeralda on one side and Kovu on the other.
"I am sorry I decided you, you see when I came back I already knew everything that had happened to you due to some ..... developments in my life. I have known all about what happened between you and Kovu since the beginning. It looks like this discussion in over for now. I'll be seeing you later my dear. Oh and Kovu, don't let anything ever stop you from being happy. If things don't change soon I'll be back."
Gaston then left the necklace in Esmeralda's hand and started to walk away with his head held high. As he walked into the distance a song came into his head and he started to sing aloud his voice slowly disappearing.
(I Know) I'm Losing You Lyrics - The Temptations
ooooh oooh oooh Your love is fading, I can feel your love fading girl it's fading away from me
Cause your touch,your touch has grown cold As if someone else controls your very soul I've fooled myself long as I can I can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name It's just not the same Ooh baby,I'm losing you It's in the air it's everywhere. Ooh baby I'm losing you
When I look into your eyes A reflection of a face I see I'm hurtin',downhearted and worried girl, Cause that face doesn't belong to me
It's no longer your face Someone's taken my place Ooh baby I'm losing you You try hard to hide The emptiness inside, Ooh I can tell I'm losing you.
I don't want to lose you
Ooh,I can tell when we kiss From the tenderness I miss Ooh,little girl I'm losing you
Girl I can feel it in my bones in a day you'll be gone
Ooh baby,I'm losing you
Ooh now dear what happened to the love we shared oooh oooh baby I'm losing you
I know it's true there's someone new.....

Traditionally...Ursula doesn't arrive until the poopsies have gotten a particularly juicy bit of information...this time was no different. Ursula was in her home watching the mid morning soap opera 'A Lion and His Gypsy' when who should show up but Shan Yu...Of course Ursula prepared to leave she had gotten her trident and her shell was glowing, but then something sounded out...the roar of a gun fire. Ursula didn't see that, but she heard it...it wasn't your average gun fire...this was more along the lines of an elephant gun. Only two villains she knew that used elephant guns...Gaston and Clayton...She darted back to her cauldron/bubble to see that Gaston was actually helping the two away from Shan Yu, "What is his angle...He certainly thinks that Esmeralda is indeed the catch of his day...so much for Felle..." She said thinking of what to do.
"If I go now...I could get caught in the crossfires, but what a fight it would be...and I'd have the upper hand...or upper tentacles as it were." She chuckled wickedly.
"Well...I'm about to..." With that she took her index finger and popped the bubble, "burst their bubble." She said and with that Ursula swam off out of her home and headed towards the shore.
"What an interesting mode of transport." She said cackling.
She simply dissolved into the water and vortexed into MGM...only a few short blocks away from Villains in Vogue. Ursula saw the four and the tension was...to say the least...thick, "Ugh...so long since I've vortexed anywhere..." She said shaking her head slightly, but then patting her hair and pushing it up and giving it volume.
"Blovu...Esme darling....Gaston....Shun-Yu." She said in a rapid pace that the name sounded jumbled, but still audible...and to some...hurtful.
"I couldn't help, but notice...that there seemed to be a little villainous rivalry and I...am curious...what has been going on with you two...men." She said in a very regal tone almost majestic...all too often is this Ursula's manner of speak...some of the time.
"I simply won't have a nice day until I'm told...and neither...will you!" She said soft and motherly at first, but then harshly and angrily at the end.

(( <- *Doing the i'm not worthy bow to Ursula* omg its been so long... love ya ursy!! ))
Shan Yu had not completely left the area when he got away on his horse. He was simply waiting until the odds where more in his favor. Soon he heard the voice of Ursula, a woman with many magical powers and seemed to have many followers. Not only that, but she knew where he was and what he had been doing this whole time. Shan Yu came to where Ursula was, his horse trotting along until he was in range.
"I respect your power Ursula. I don't want a fight with you. The reasons I do things are only my own. I may be only a warrior now, however, I will become a king one day and continue to do as I please."
Shan Yu then went quiet, he had only come out to answer he so that he could avoid a fight with someone that used magic. At least for now he had nothing he could do against magic.

Gaston singing to himself while walking away was interrupted by a voice he had only heard once before. It was Ursula, Gaston knew she had many connections and Esmeralda seemed to treat her like a mother so she couldn't be that bad could she? Against his better judgment he turned around and went back to face all who he had been just talking and feuding with.
"What kind of answer do you think i can give you? It may not be complicated, but I have already ruined the mood for today. I don't think anything I can say in the matter will only make this situation more tense."

Post by ~~Ursula~~ on Mar 9, 2009 0:55:01 GMT -5
Ursula watched as the feuding tyrants made their way back to respectfully take their leaves. She held up a finger, "There seems to be something to the power of suggestion...So I suggest that one of you talk in a more coherent manner and not one of 'worship' not that I mind the praise." She said with a light chuckle.
"If I'm reading this correctly Gaston...you should not be talking about tense situations...the problem grew when you fired the gun....don't play dumb with me...I'm quicker than people give me credit for." She said looking at the both of them.
One on his horse then other on his way as well, "Shan...trust me poopsie...I wouldn't want to fight with you...it would be too one sided." She said boldly.
"I respect your thirst for power, but when it comes to the well-being of a friend...and need I remind you both that she is a gypsy....a witch, mind you...she is not a heroine...or a princess...She is like us...or for the most part me and Yu." ((just saying...a lot of "Abbot and Costello" can occur with that.)) She said to Shan-Yu.
"If, the next time, this argument reaches new heights...you will both be at my mercy...and when I am in a foul mood....I can be quite merciless." She said with a broad smile.
"You may both go now gentleman." She dismissed them like a queen would her servants.
Rightfully so...No one was there to take her royal title away from her...even Davy Jones was afraid of the sea witch. ((I expect to see a part II to that IMPECCABLE fight.)) She formed a throne for herself to sit on, "If you'd like we can talk and be rational...even though that might be a stretch." She said looking from Shan-Yu, to Gaston, to Kovu.

[[ *hurries to catch up*]] Kovu continued to glare at the hunter, even though Esmerelda's presence was calming and much needed. As the man continued to insult him, Kovu barred his teeth, his pacience wearing thin. "You say that I am no match for you?" he snapped. "Do you want to make that challenge?" But before he could start, Esmerelda's words struck a cord in his heart. It was painful enough to loose her as he had, but the fact that she refused to move on, to allow herself to love another; well, it was more than he could take. He could handle his own suffering, he had done it all his life, but he didn't want to see the one he still cared about to follow in his steed. "Esme, please, you shouldn't . . .," he began to say. Just then Esmerelda handed Gaston a box, clearly a present that had been exchanged between them. He was surprised by the apprupt change in the hunter's attitude and even more by the portraits the necklace contained. He looked at Esmerelda questioningly as the hunter walked away.

Esmeralda beamed with joy noticing Ursula, and she threw herself in Ursula's arms hugging her tightly. She had missed her Mama so much!
"Mama, I am so happy to see you again! I haven't seen you for ages! I missed you."
She listened to the conversation between Ursula and Shan Yu, then to the conversation between Gaston and Ursula. She smiled and looked at Ursula, patiently waiting for her turn.
"There is something Shan Yu here forgot to fill out, Mama. I was bathing in the lake when he arrived and wanted me to come with him. He said he was going to deliver me to Lady Tremaine. I have a feeling that Frollo's sister is planning something evil towards my people, but I don't know what it is yet. Kovu started fighting Shan Yu to protect me. Shan Yu had a sword at first but....."
She blushed and looked down, knowing Ursula was a much better witch than she could ever be. Her voice was lower now, almost shameful for that pathetic little trick. But she couldn't stand and watch her beloved lion getting hurt.
".....but.... I turned the sword into a.... teddy bear...."
She didn't dare to look up at Ursula now. Instead she continued what she had started.
"Shan Yu attacked Kovu with his bare hands. And Gaston stopped the fight with his shotgun."
When Kovu started protesting against her words, she met her gaze openly and shook her head in silence.
"I have made my choice, my love," she said quietly. "I love you. I can't forget you, though the gods are my witnesses I have tried. Gaston was one of my attempts to forget you. I told him from the start that I still love you and will never forget you. You can see for yourself how miserably I have failed."
She smiled sadly and caressed his mane.
"But I do not wish to burden you. If you can't return my feelings for you, I can live without love. Just as long as you don't deny me your friendship."

It made Ursula feel like a better breed of witch that she had taken someone under her tentacle. She was however nearly knocked back from the bubbly gypsy, "Now Angelfish...relax yourself...No one likes a jumpy gypsy....and yes I've missed you too my little sea dumpling." She said chuckling that infamous "corny joke" chuckle.
When Esmeralda brought up Shan Yu's true intentions...her throne began to boil, her shell began to glow and her trident began to glow, "Shan Yu....my little crab cake...now I could very well send you back to Miss Tremaine a frozen hush guppy, but I'm much more delicate...and not violent. Instead I want you to take this message back to the dame, 'The tentacles have been crossed.' She'll get the idea....and if you ever come near her again with something from that bird...I'll be waiting." She then aimed her trident at the horses rear end and fired a pin sized icicle in it's direction...it would hopefully cause the horse to freak out and run off.
Then Esme had told her of her own witchcrafts, "My darling sea flower...transfiguration is a start...you'll be fine...just know that you will one day have to pick a side..." Ursula warned...she did love Esmeralda...more than she was willing to admit, but she was going to hold onto her villainous roots and plant further from there.
Ursula's mouth opened at the next words that the gypsy had said, "Gaston.....saved...Kipu?" She then looked at the buff rogue...and she did not know which end was up.
She let it go and just continued to listen. She knew that Esme and Kovu had...relations, but she didn't know the extent of such. She crossed her eyes and disregarded the love nonsense. Better to sit in silence then to open her mouth and wind up wasting far too much juice and something that needs nothing.

Shan listened to her words about Tremaine, something about the tone in her voice made him feel a little uncomfortable. He had no reason to do these things for that woman and yet he found himself an enemy to an even more powerful entity somehow. Something was wrong with the way he was thinking, but he wasn't sure what for now.
"If I had known the gypsy had such powerful allies my approach wouldn't have been as violent. My lady has no knowledge of what I was planning on doing here, and will continue to be ignorant on the matter. It seems as if I have a lot more to learn about if these strange occurrences keep happening."
Before he could listen to another reply she had already she had already fired at his horse causing it to run off. He took it as his chance to leave the area.

Kovu listened as Esmerelda re-accounted the fight earlier to Ursula. He was hurt by the gypsy's words, her sincere profession of love and what she was risking for him.
"Esme, darling," he replied calmly. "It is not that I do not love you. Far from it; you are in my every waking thought and my deepest dreams. But it is complicated, and I would hate to see you fall victim to some malicious fate because of me. I do love you, but I am afraid to show it because of the danger it puts you in. Please understand that I do this for your own good. I have suffered worse scars that you can imagine; this burden is no stranger to me."

A very satisfied smile could be seen in Esmeralda's face and eyes when Kovu declared her his love. She chuckled softly and knelt down in front of him, wrapping her arms around him and pulled him into a hug.
"So, we both love each other, and it is complicated. So what? We have both faced danger before. We have both suffered, and we both have the scars to prove it. I don't see what the problem is. It is not a problem for me to live the rest of my life alone if you can't love me. But do not dare to force me into loving someone else. There has never been, and will never be, anyone that can replace you in my heart."
She caressed his mane gently.
"Like you, I am not afraid to carry a burden. I have done so before, and will do it again. But with you by my side, we can support each other."
She was suddenly serious and looked into his eyes. Gone was the flirtatious gypsy girl. Now it was the gypsy princess who spoke. A princess concerned for the safety of her people.
"Lady Tremaine is planning something. I do not know what, or to what extent. But I do know that it has something to do with my people and that I will have to fight her to keep my people safe. The likes of Lady Tremaine will try to kidnap my friends and torment them to get them to tell her all they know about me. I am a dangerous aquaintance for you all now. If you want to pull away from me and pretend you never knew me, now is the time to do so."
Her face was even more serious.
"Now is the time for me to stand up and show her who I am. I will no longer stay hidden, but as the Princess of the gypsies, it is my duty to get my people into safety as soon as possible. She might try to extinct us, but I will fight her back with all my might."
