It was a rather cool day in the African Savannah (at least for the standards of the creatures living there).
A good day for hunting. The coolness of the day would make it easier for the lions to run without tiring. A few lions were on their first hunt, this time.
Oddly enough, not all of the lions that were hunting were actually lions.
No, there was another creature in the pride. This creature had long ago been accepted as a member of the pride, and had earned a name of his own.
The closest a human mouth may get to pronouncing his name is 'Atemu'. This boy knew only the mannerisms and language of the lions of the Savannah, copying them to his best ability.
As the pride was preparing for the hunt, they didn't seem to notice the jeeps nearby. It was a regular occurrence: humans would come to film their hunts. They had long ago learned that if they ignored the metal beasts, there would be no trouble.
A particular person in one of these jeeps, a mister Yugi Motou, lifted his binoculars to his eyes. Beautiful creatures, lions. Beautiful, and so dangerous.
Wait, what's that...? He thought. He quickly turned one of the knobs on the pair of binoculars, focusing on the strange object he had seen. Was that... Hair? It certainly wasn't the hair of any sort of animal that should be hanging around lions. How strange... It seemed to be tricolored. Red, black, and yellow, all very stiff. Strange... If he didn't know better, he'd say that somebody with hair almost exactly like his own was prowling around out there with the lions.
Hah. That would be amusing. His long-lost twin, the lion kid!
"Hey, Jou, am I hallucinating, or do you see that thing as well?" He asked his partner, who was currently filming the lions.
"What, Yug'? All I see out dere iz lions, grass, zebras, grass, gazelles, an', oh, did I mention some grass?" Jou grinned, zooming in on one of the lionesses slinking through the grass.
Hey, wait... "Yug'? Uh, I mighta' seen what'cha were talknin' about..."
There in the grass, behind the lioness...
Was a human boy.
This, my dear reader, is where our story begins.
Sorry for the shortness! Well, see you all soon. R&R, if you will.
