"Oh ho! Look! Who has finally blessed us with her presence? Isn't this the new goddess of the tribe?"
'Such sarcasm! Who's the speaker? Come out. I promise I won't disable your tongue,' Sheea thought to herself as she heard a familiar voice as soon as she stepped in the cave along with her two mates, making her pause at the entrance and look up with a frown to see the owner of the voice.
"Woahhh... What? Why are you looking at me like that? Wanna hit me, now huh?! Huh?" The guy repeated as he crossed his arms across his chest.
His eyes bloodshot. His face fierce... Once again making Sheea remember that she's in a beast world and even though the beasts here can take human form, they aren't humans but beasts. Wild beasts, living all together... but still wild.
"Len, you should behave yourself," Kyle who was clinging to Sheea a moment ago with a fawny smile, dropped that smile as he released his 'first husband' aura and sternly looked at Len who was looking like an untamed and wild beasts with no understanding of peaceful life.
But alas! Since, Len hasn't become mates with Sheea yet, Kyle's pressure didn't apply on him, but on Jemin who was standing next to Sheea and on Kevi who just returned into cave with his hunt.
And as if sensing her mates' discomfort, Sheea softly hold Kyle's arm which was closest to her and squeezed them lightly. On tge other hand, she patted Jemin's back to soothe him down.
With a deep breath, Kyle calmed down. But guess what? If you don't want a trouble, more than one trouble want you. Just like now:
Len who was already having a hard time to deal with his inner demons as he had already heard about the latest words of where Sheea got proposed by more than 5 Shashas in one day and all of them were ready to do anything for her, he couldn't control himself.
And now that he witnessd Sheea's care for others, but that lack of care was only an exception for him, ge finally lost it.
"Just die, all of you just die," He suddenly shouted and launched at Kevi who was a little distance away from Sheea and others.
Since Kevi was alone, he thought it would be quick to end it.
But in the moment of heat, he forgot that Kevi was groomed as the next leader since a young age, so how could he not be alerted to witness his brother's crazy sight?!
With a few leaps he moved away from the cave as Len followed him with the intention of killing him.
For Kevi, it was okay to fight with other Shans as he new the rule of 'Survival of the fittest'. And as long as it's the matter related to their Shashas, all Shans let go of the brothership and look at each other as rivals and bosom enemies.
But despite all of this, he first needed to guide that crazy guy out of the cave. For him, Sheea's safety was first.
THUD!
And suddenly, Kevi heard a falling sound a few distance away from the cave, as he couldn't feel Len's footsteps behind him anymore.
Kevi stopped running as his mind and heart started to race.
'Did that crazy f*cktard suddenly decided to hurt Jemin or Kyle instead of me, since I ran away? Oh my, Sheea in the cave! Will Sheea think that I was scared of Len's aggressiveness and wanted to ru-' Kevi thought as he turned to return back to the cave, but suddenly his mind went blank.
Well, that blank mind condition just didn't happen to Kevi, it also happened to Jemin and Kyle.
Just a moment Sheea was with them, silently watching Len's aggressiveness (and also cussing Len inside her mind), but within a moment Kevi got out of the cave, she flashed passed them like wind and hit at Len's neck. And as soon as Len got the hit, with a thud he fell on the ground.
And if not for the mild breathing and the up-down of his chest, they would have almost thought Len got a wonderful favour from the God and God called for his presence in HIS abord.
And also before they could console Sheea, Sheea converted them into the beggars who need the console themselves.
"What?"
Sheea who dusted her hands as if she electrocuted on the hand that she used to hit Len, looked up and saw all her mate's expression.
Kevi's expression: What happened just now? Can you repeat it?
Jemin expression: What was that just now? Can you repeat it once again?
Kyle's expression (with a wagging tail): Wow! Such a wonderful move! I want to learn it too. Do it once again! Do it once again!
More or less, whoever it was Kyle, or Kevi, or Jemin, all of them wanted to see that move once again.
"Kevi, come back. Kyle, stop wagging your tail and tie this bast- (ahem) tie Len up with something and throw him into a corner. As for you Jemin, come with me. I'm hungry and I guess everyone here is hungry too, especially this pig over here (pointing at Len who had started to snore too) who had lost his mind in hunger. We need to cook," saying that Sheea walked away with the aura of 'I'm the boss here. Disobey me and you'll be finished'.
Kyle whose eyes were still twinkling as if he was waiting for Sheea to apply her move again on Len , dropped down, making him looked like an abandoned puppy.
As much as Jemin disagreed with his conscience that he wanted to see Sheea beating Len up again, he patted Kyle's shoulder as he turned to walk away.
But before he could take a step, a light pain came from his neck. And as he covered that area with his palm, he witnessed Kyle moving away his hand.
"Are you trying to imitate Sheea now?" Jemin asked as he narrowed his eyes.
"Well..."
"Don't try it again," Jemin warned as he again turned around. But before he could take another step, he again felt the same dull pain on his neck, but this time in another side.
"K-Y-L-E, you brat!" Jemin growled as he lunged at Kyle who was so scared that he started to run as if he's life depended on it.
Umm, well actually it was though!
"Ahh! Umm... Brother... wait... wait... Brother Jemin... I was wrong. Seriously, I was wrong.... Brother..... Ahhh! No! Don't come near me... Brother... Oh no! Sheea! Sheea! SHHEEEAAA! HELPP! HELPPPPP!"
Kyle screamed in his full volume as he tried to run away from Jemin, but guess what? He couldn't!
He ran... And Jemin chased him.
On the other hand, Kevi sighed and tied Len up ( it wasn't tying... he actually dug a whole and buried Len in it, only leaving his face outside) and walked to the place where Sheea had gone to.
Since both Jemin and Kyle were busy and Len is unconscious, does he look like a fool that he won't cherish a time alone with Sheea and let the once in a while opportunity go?!
Dream on!
So, at the end, two Shans played catch-catch, one Shan stayed unconscious and 'was tied', and the other Shan went to his mate while wagging his tail.

Hey Guys, surprised with this disclosure. Actually, It took me a while to construct the character settings of the main 4 MLs and I say, it's too much to think.
Well, whatever...
This is the setting:
1. Kyle: Playful, naivity as a facade, quick learner and manipulator.
2. Kevi: Good to go with all, oppotunist, sometimes mature - sometimes not and sensitive with human behaviour.
3. Jemin: stoic, leader vibes, good with words, good at cooking and a strong supporter to his brothers and mate.
4. Len: Sadist, masochist, hot tempered, good with words only while working but sucks while confessing his feelings to Sheea.
