The shame was visible all over the male as he approached his spouse with the food. Shenzi did not hesitate and began tearing off large meat chunks from the dead animal Majiti had hunted for them. Ignoring the sounds of Shenzi's greedy binge, her satisfied moans as her belly got filled with food, Majiti pondered over his current situation. Whatever it was that had lead to him loving this female, it was sure beginning to fade.

Naturally, it was a common tradition among hyenas that females assumed the dominant role in a couple, Majiti was well aware of it, but this was something more. Shenzi was greedy and insensitive. She always got to eat first taking most of the food, barely leaving enough food to give Majiti the strength he needed for hunting. While Majiti was becoming undernourished, Shenzi was virtually exploding with fat. Things had to change. Majiti gazed longingly upon the cave exit.

The sound of a tiny feminine "urp" made his eyes turn back to Shenzi. Majiti smiled in his mind. Shenzi didn't look quite as vicious now. In fact, she looked almost innocent. Majiti remembered when they had first met. Shenzi seemed almost shy. Now she was laying on her back before him, breathing heavily from devouring her feast. She depended on him, Majiti knew that. Things really had to change.
