Tai lung snarled as he was hit in the head and again in his shoulder. Aisha just wasn't worth it. He jumped out of Sig's way and instead High tailed it to go and see his good friend Yi Shan. Maybe he would take care of this instead.
Cobby ran out and for a split second thought Tai lung was following him but when Tai lung ran the opposite direction he relaxed but didn't stop running until they were a good five miles away from Tai lungs cave.
(Hey i've got to go be back on either latter tonight or tomorrow.)

Sig took a second to calm himself down after that cowardly Snow Leopard ran, then he collected his spent pistols, paused long enough to reload them, then began to head back to the village.
When Cobby stopped running, five miles from the hideout and barely a quarter of a mile from the Village, Aisha quietly asked him to just take her to the inn. When they got there, it was probably around 3 or 4PM. The exhausted female just wanted to curl up under some blankets and fall asleep. But there was something that needed to be done first. Once he got her inside, she went straight into her room, let the towel she had been wrapped in fall to the floor as she quickly slipped into a simple pair of violet colored silk pajamas, then stepped back into the hall with Cobby. There were no words to describe just how thankful she was that he saved her, so she just wrapped her furry arms around his torso and hugged him close.

Cobby took Aisha to the inn and hugged her back when she hugged him. He then gently swung her up into his arms and took her to his room. She most likely didn't want to sleep alone after what had happened. He then laid her down on the bed and laid down beside her. He pulled the covers over them and snuggled up close to him.

Aisha was pleasently surprised when Cobby took her into his arms, carried her into his room, then set her down upon his bed and snuggled up alongside her after pulling the covers over them both. She purred very softly, almost silently, and wrapped her arms around him once again, curling into the lion's warm body and resting her head on his chest. Even after what had just happened, she felt so very safe and loved with Cobby resting alongside her.
After a few minutes of peaceful silence, she picked up her head and gazed into his eyes. There were three little words her heart was screaming at her to say, but for fear of being rejected, she kept them to herself for now. Instead, she just gave him a quick, but sweet kiss on his ebony lips. "Thank you, Cobby." She said quietly, as she was nuzzling her face into his warm, furry neck.

Cobby was surprised when Aisha kissed him but he smiled at her. "There is no need to thank me" He said softly. He held her close to him. It was getting late and the sky was darkening. He looked out the window and saw this. "Why don't you get some sleep" He said gently and kissed the top of her head softly.

However, Aisha had beat Cobby to the punch. Barely a moment after the lion held her closer, the exhausted female fell into a light, peaceful sleep, filled with dreams. Dreams of Cobby. Of his smile, his kindness, his strength, of the passionate and loving heart she saw in him... Every single dream of him was pleasent, and served to push the unspeakable crime Tai Lung had commited farther and farther into the recesses of her mind.

Cobby sighed and just held Aisha while she slept. After awhile he heard a knock on the door. He got up not wakening Aisha and answered it. It was Sig. "Hey" Cobby said nodding to Sig. "Did you kill Tai lung for me" He asked.
(Sorry about the sort of tinny god moding there J. I'll change my post if you want)

[Naw, it's cool.]
Sig frowned and shook his head. "No, the coward fled. I should've pulled my last pistol and shot him in the heart, but I..." The lion shut his muzzle as he noticed Aisha sleeping on the bed. "Nevermind him, though. How's she doing? She's not traumatized TOO badly, is she?" The lion asked worriedly but quietly, gesturing towards the beautiful, sleeping feline with one paw.

Cobby shook his head. "That still remains to be seen" He said sadly looking at Aisha. "When we got back she changed into he pajamas then fell right asleep" He said shaking his head. He then looked back at Sig. "I am going to hunt Tai lung down and kill him" He growled quietly. He meant it to. He would kill Tai lung for what he had done to Aisha.

Sig placed one of his massive paws on Cobby's shoulder, and gave it a gentle, friendly squeeze. "No, you're not doing any hunting of any kind. You're gonna sit here and make sure she feels safe when she wakes up. I'll hunt Tai Lung down, and when I find him, I'll bring you straight to him so you can put him in the ground." He replied, gently pushing the other male back into the room. "Why don't you just... Lay down, hold that girl close, and keep her warm. I may not be wise, but I do know that she's gonna freak if she wakes up and the one person she seems to trust right now isn't there." He suggested, shrugging. His ears perked up as he heard a very silent, muffled whimper come from Aisha. He glanced around Cobby, and frowned when he saw Aisha's formerly peaceful face masked with fear, even though she was still asleep. "Um... By the way, I think she's having a nightmare."

Cobby nodded to Sig then heard Aisha whimper. "Yeah i guess she is" He said and slid back into the bed with her. "When you find Tai bring him here" He said then pulled Aisha close to him. He hugged her trying to comfort her. She may be asleep but his smell might calm her. She truly seemed to trust him.

Sig nodded, slid the door shut, then set off to find that monster and drag him back for his punishment.
Aisha woke up as Cobby's powerful arms embraced her in a hug. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves, and immediatly snuggled into his furry body. She had been dreaming about watching Cobby die. She was, of course, very pleased to discover that he was alive and well, laying right alongside her. "Thank you, Cobby. For waking me. And... And for everything you've done." She whispered, nuzzling her face into his neck. That was much more than she had actually wanted to say. She still had only three words she wanted to tell him: I love you. Why was it those three words were going to take more courage to say than anything else before in her life?

Cobby smiled at Aisha. "Your welcome" he said and pulled her closer to him. He then wrinkled up his nose. She smelled like Tai lung. At that moment he wanted to do everything he could to get his stink off her. He nuzzled her then lifted her head from his neck so that he could kiss her and kiss her he did. He put as much passion as he possibly could into the kiss. He wanted her to know that he cared about her so much.

A soft purr built in Aisha's throat as Cobby nuzzled her. His kiss was wonderful, causing her to arch up against him and close her eyes, savoring the taste of the lion's kiss. When it was over, the most amazing kiss of her life, she just couldn't keep those three words from slipping from her lips. "I love you." She said quietly, looking into the lion's eyes. Yes, she knew that they didn't really know each other's pasts. Yes, they had only met yesterday. But that didn't stop her from knowing in her heart that she truely loved the man holding her and making her feel safe again.

Cobby purred as Aisha told him she loved him. "And i love you" He said meaning ever word. He then kissed her again. She tasted wonderful and he never wanted to let her go. "I will never let anything happen to you again." He promised her hugging her close to him and nuzzling her.

A warm, joyful smile crept onto Aisha's muzzle as she heard what she considered the most beautiful pair of sounds in the world: That deep purring of Cobby's, coupled with his voice repeating those three wonderful words to her. One tear slid down her cheek, a tear of happiness. She wrapped her arms around him as he hugged her, and pulled herself up against him, letting his scent permeate her clothes and fur. "I know you won't, Cobby." She replied, resting her head on his chest. There were so many things she wanted right now. She wanted another kiss, she wanted to whisper sweet nothings into his ear, she wanted to see his bared chest again, but perhaps most of all, she wanted a bath. As much as Cobby's wonderfully masculine scent hid it, she still reeked of Tai Lung. "Cobby... Do you... Do you have a bathtub here? I need a bath." She asked softly, gazing into his eyes with a small, sheepish smile on her muzzle.

Cobby smiled at her. "Of course i do" He said pointing to the bathroom. "You can go in there and bath" He said thinking she would want a little time alone to get Tai lung's scent off her. At least he hoped she was well enough to stand a little time alone.

Aisha had, admittedly, wanted Cobby in there with her. But perhaps what she needed was a quick bath, rather than Cobby seeing her without any clothes on for the second... No, third time that day. She smiled, nodded, then got out of bed and beelined into the washroom.
*About thirty minutes later*
After taking a soothing bath, and scrubbing every last trace of Tai Lung's scent from her fur, Aisha felt very good. In fact, she felt downright frisky, as if she was a energetic little cub again. The young snow leopard/tigress mix padded out of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around her, and a beautiful smile on her face. She had never been one to stay down or depressed for long, and after being close to Cobby coupled with a relaxing bath, she felt happy again. "Hey." She purred, sitting down on Cobby's side of the bed and giving the lion a broad smile.
