it was early in the morning and Kyro was still asleep on the mat he slept on. Kyro was an 8-year-old anthro panther cub but he was small as a 4-year-old. He was cuddling his blankets as he was still asleep. Kyro also happened to be a bedwetter so he was diapered with a simple cloth diaper. Kyro’s mother came in and she knelt, and she had to pry her son’s fingers one at a time from the blanket and picked him up. She put him over her shoulder and smiled ‘wake up sleepy’ said Kyro’s mother.

Kyro slowly woke up and yawned as he was carried out of the room of the hut. Kyro rubbed his eye and he fully awoke by the time they went outside to the eating area. The tribe knew Kyro still wet the bed so them seeing him in his diaper was often. Kyro was still half asleep as he was carried out from the hut and his adoptive sister Mana was waiting. Mana was also a bedwetter, but she also was a prankster. Kyro’s mother was still successful with treating Kyro like an infant kitten in a limited way in the mornings. He still accepted being fed in his sleepy state and even accepted nursing on his mother’s nipples for milk ‘come on Kyro you’ll no doubt be hungry’ said Kyro’s mother.

Kyro nodded sleepily rubbing his eye. His mother carried him to the eating area, and she sat down putting her son on her lap. Kyro’s mother took a bowl of food left for her son and she started spoon feeding him. Kyro sleepily opened his mouth accepting each spoonful. After the contents of the breakfast which was a meat stew was finished Kyro’s mother pulled Kyro to one of her nipples and he sleepily started nursing on it and he was relaxed as he drank his mother’s milk. Kyro woke up more and more and he was wide awake just after he finished nursing and his mother burped him ‘there we go’ said Kyro’s mother deciding to let him have some time to finish waking up. After he fully woke up Kyro noticed a tightness in his stomach ‘mom I haffta poop’ said Kyro.

Kyro’s mother gently lifted Kyro in her arms again and rubbed his back ‘well go do your poop while we go back to the hut your still wearing your diaper from last night’ said Kyro’s mother.

Kyro nodded and he tensed up and pooped himself on the way back to the hut and as the curtain at the entrance was pulled across to go in he grew nervous ‘mom I just finished pooping’ said Kyro.

Kyro was placed down on the floor and he stood by the entrance to his room and he decided to pee in the diaper before he changed out of it since he was allowed to pee and poop in it whenever he wanted before changing out of it. Kyro’s mother came over and she undid the knots on the sides of Kyro’s diaper and it fell to the ground and his mother cleaned up his bottom and privates with a wash cloth. Next was a loincloth and he put it on, and he ran into his room to get some stuff.

Kyro collected his drawing board, stick of charcoal and some sheets of paper made from river reeds and he ran outside. He ran to a log and climbed up on it and sat down swinging his legs under him as he drew. Kyro drew the landscape which was a picture of the trees and Mana came over ‘you’re really good’ said Mana.

Kyro got a little embarrassed by Mana’s comment ‘n-not really’ said Kyro.

Mana laughed and she put her arms under Kyro’s arms and cuddled him ‘you are that good’ said Mana as she lifted Kyro up Kyro kicked around as he was now annoyed ‘hey put me down, Mana’ said Kyro.

Mana put Kyro down and she ruffled the fur on his head ‘so can you draw something for me?’ asked Mana.

Kyro stood up on the log ‘hey! you’re trying to get me to draw out your next prank!’ shouted Kyro.

Mana laughed off the accusation which was true ‘what? me? nah... I mean no... I do not’ said Mana acting a little guilty.

Kyro glanced down and saw Mana was still in her night diaper ‘Mana aren’t you going to get changed?’ asked Kyro.

Mana shrugged and she looked down ‘yeah but I don’t really want to right now’ said Mana.
Kyro’s mother came over ‘Mana! Come on let’s get you changed’ said Kyro’s mother.

Mana followed Kyro’s mother and Kyro giggled a little and went back to his drawing and he sketched a tree quite expertly and he tilted the page and board on the side to shade it in a little and Mana came back in her loincloth ‘so are you gonna draw what I asked’ asked Mana.

Kyro turned to Mana ‘nope’ said Kyro.

Mana decided to try begging this time around ‘please Kyro I’ll do anything you want so... please’ begged Mana.

Kyro climbed off the log ‘I’m telling mom you want me to design your next prank’ said Kyro.

Unfortunately for Mana their mother was listening in and she approached and gave the dreaded “mom” look at Mana which made the 9 year old panther cub girl nervous ‘getting your little brother to draw your next prank? Mana what did I say about your pranking? and what did dad say about it?’ asked Kyro’s mother. 

Mana started complaining and Kyro decided to go draw a flower for his mother and he found one his mother liked, and he sat down to draw. By this point Kyro’s loincloth which was originally yellow with a babyish bird picture dyed on the front was now covered in charcoal smudges. As he looked down, he noticed the smudges and shrugged as it wasn’t something that his parents never worried themselves about. Kyro kept drawing and finished the sketch quite quickly and he picked the flower and ran off back to his mother ‘mom I drew this’ said Kyro handing the flower and the sketch he made to his mother ‘thank you Kyro. Aww you’re such a good cub unlike a certain older sister of yours’ said Kyro’ mother.

The praise from his mother made Kyro purr happily and Mana was stuck helping the adults of the tribe where her and Kyro’s mother could keep a watch on her to keep her from her carrying out her typical pranking. Kyro walked off and he felt good and realised the urge to pee. Kyro went to go to a tree but he also felt the urge to sneeze at the same time. With a few moments he sneezed quite hard and, but his sneeze had resulted in a problem. Kyro looked down and there was now a wet patch growing across his loincloth and he tried lifting it as fast as he could to pee on the ground. Kyro always had a weak bladder but what made it worse for him was it was small also and had difficulty holding it and had accidents from time to time ‘m-moooom!’ shouted Kyro.

Kyro’s mother came over and saw the wet patch on Kyro’s loincloth ‘Kyro come on let’s get you cleaned up so I can diaper you for the rest of the day’ said Kyro’s mother.

Kyro folded his ears back and hung his head in self-induced shame. he followed his mother to the hut and went inside. Once inside Kyro’s mother took out a diaper and he was diapered ‘there we go’ said Kyro’s mother.

Kyro’s father came in and Kyro immediately tried covering the diaper with his hands ‘did my little one have an accident?’ asked Kyro’s father.

Kyro was lifted into his father’s arms and cuddled and his father moved him so he was on his side like holding a kitten or cub that was 1-5 years old though Kyro was actually 8 ‘Kyro ready for the trip. Now Mana’s coming with us aren’t you Mana' said Kyro's father knowing Mana was there.

Mana came in ‘dad I wanna stay here’ said Mana.

Kyro’s father held his hand up to signal Mana to be silent ‘Mana your coming with me. It’s the only way to keep you from pranking’ said Kyro’s father.

Mana folded her ears back and Kyro was carried out and Mana followed and Kyro’s father took some hunting gear and even handed Kyro a dagger to hold ‘Mana look what dad gave me to hold’ said Kyro.

Mana was shocked by it ‘how come you get to hold it?’ asked Mana.

Kyro giggled and he gave a cheeky grin ‘because I’m mom and dad’s kitten’ said Kyro proud of his small size. 

Mana already knew it and Kyro didn’t wish to admit it, but he liked being diapered to the point that a very small number of his accidents were intentional. Kyro’s father stopped and lowered Kyro to the ground and he took in a deep breath ‘smell that, cubs. That fresh air away from the tribe. I think right here is where we’re going to set up our hunting camp’ said Kyro’s father.

Mana sat on a log and pouted a little in her 9 year old fashion ‘2 days without pranks here camping on a dumb hunting trip’ said Mana.

Kyro’s father laughed and he gave Mana a hug ‘well we’re here so deal with it' chuckled Kyro's father.

Mana pouted more ‘an hour back if I don’t stop along the way’ said Mana pondering if she could go back.

Kyro’s father handed Mana a small dagger ‘why don’t you two try catching some Dashars’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro nodded eagerly but he now needed to pee and he stood there and relaxed himself peeing in his diaper. After he finished peeing he got a little nervous ‘dad I… um, just peed’ said Kyro.

Kyro’s father opened a sack he took with the hunting supplies 'don’t worry I brought diapers’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro’s father changed Kyro’s diaper quickly ‘there we go’ said Kyro’s father.

Mana and Kyro left to chase Dashars which were bunny like lizards. Kyro was nervous and Mana grabbed the creature and Kyro ran back to his father in tears ‘daaaaad!’ shouted Kyro as he hugged his father.

Kyro’s father knew Kyro was frightened of any and all animals and Kyro stayed away from mana and the Dashar she had ‘keep it away’ said Kyro as he hid behind his father.

Mana took the dagger Kyro had dropped and she took the Dashar. Knowing Kyro was also a very sensitive cub she took the Dashar behind some blushes. A squeaking sound was heard from the bushes and it suddenly ceased. Kyro’s ears folded down and Mana came out with the dead Dashar and a bloodied dagger ‘dad I did it’ said Mana.

Kyro started getting upset and his father picked him up ‘Kyro it’s now with the gods and it’s going to provide us with the food we need to survive’ said Kyro’s father.

This was enough for Kyro to calm down and Mana sat down to skin it. 

Kyro’s father lit a fire and he started cooking the food ‘ok the food will be ready in just an hour and a bit’ said Kyro’s father.

Mana sat down and fidgeted and Kyro’s father laughed ‘Mana go collect some firewood. Any dry sticks will do’ said Kyro’s father.

Mana nodded and she left and Kyro kept drawing and his father noticed and sat down next to him ‘your drawing is really good’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro felt pride swell in his chest he couldn’t help but be happy ‘thanks dad’ said Kyro.

Kyro kept sketching and he felt a pain I his lower abdomen and he passed it off as a cramp ‘are you ok, Kyro?’ asked Kyro’s father.

Kyro nodded ‘yeah’ said Kyro.

Kyro’s father was reassured by it and ruffled the fur on his son’s head ‘well that’s good’ said Kyro’s father.

As he drew the pain went away but came back again a little stronger and he put his hand on his lower abdomen for a second and his father didn’t notice ‘dad like the fire I’m drawing?’ asked Kyro who was purring.

Kyro’s father nodded and he gave Kyro a cuddle ‘I sure do’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro giggled and his abdominal pain went away again ‘yeah and Mana wants me to draw her ideas for pranks’ said Kyro.

Kyro’s father seemed quite shocked at this and he licked Kyro on the forehead and cuddled him ‘well just wait until Mana returns I’m going to have a little word for her’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro’s eyes lit up. He didn’t like Mana’s pranks as many of his friends were victims of them. Mana returned with a large bundle of sticks in her arms and she came over ‘MANA! Kyro told me you were trying to get him draw your pranks ideas’ said Kyro’s father in the rough, stern “dad” voice.

Mana became nervous and she came over putting the sticks down ‘I’m sorry dad’ said Mana.

Kyro’s father crossed his arms ‘you’re going to sit on the log and think about what you did wrong’ said Kyro’s father.

Mana pouted ‘I did not’ said Mana.

Kyro’s father came over and took Mana by the arm ‘last chance’ said Kyro’s father.
Mana looked away and Kyro’s father put Mana over his knee and gave her 6 good whacks over her bottom each one was firm. Mana started crying ‘I-I’m sorry dad’ said Mana.

Kyro stood up and he felt the urge to poop and his lower abdomen was now in pain. Kyro’s ears folded back and he doubled over a little holding his gut ‘dad I haffa poop and my tummy hurts’ said Kyro.

Kyro’s father got down and put his arms around Kyro ‘Kyro poop in your diaper it’ll make you feel better’ said Kyro’s father. 

Kyro nodded and he grunted and started pooping in his diaper and he felt it come out as a runny mess. After a while Kyro filled the diaper and his father untied the knots and it fell to the ground ‘oh that is gorse’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro felt much better the pain was now gone and his father cleaned him up ‘Mana watch Kyro please I have to wash.

Mana pouted and she sat on the log. She wanted to be angry with Kyro for telling their father, but she couldn’t be angry with him no matter how hard she tried ‘I’m sorry for trying to make you draw my pranks Kyro’ said Mana.

Kyro’s father was busy washing Kyro’s messy diaper in the river and he brought it back fully washed. There wasn’t even a stain and he put it over a rock to dry ‘dad I’m sorry I tried to get Kyro to draw my prank ideas’ said Mana in tears.

Kyro’s father nodded and he heard a sound he smiled ‘guys we’re going to hunt a Kaklik’ said Kyro’s father. 

The Dashar cooking over the fire was now cooked and Kyro’s father took the stick and they divided it up. There was just enough for 3 and they promptly ate the cooked meat. 

The sound came again and a Kaklik which was a lizard that was kind of like a deer came through and Kyro’s father quickly took his spear and killed it ‘well this is dinner’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro and Mana got up and their father strung the Kaklik up and he started dragging it. It too a little longer for the walk home and Kyro was picked up into his father’s arms feeling tired since it was nap time. Kyro was quickly diapered and his father carried him and dragged the Kaklik ‘nap time little one’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro had already fallen asleep in his father’s arms and Mana was still a bit upset during the walk to the tribe ‘dad I’m sorry for trying to make Kyro draw my pranks’ said Mana.

Kyro’s father looked at Mana and he put his hand over her back ‘Mana promise you won’t do it again’ said Kyro’s father.

Mana nodded ‘I won’t try to make Kyro draw prank ideas again I promise’ said Mana.

Once home the tribe was a flair with gossip and idol talk. Some of the tribesmen took the Kaklik away and he then made his way to where everyone was gathered ‘make way’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro’s mother walked over and led her life-mate to a hut. Inside was a tribeswoman laying on a bed mat on the ground next to her was not a newborn kitten but an egg ‘this happened we were surprised. She’s the first there’s been 3 more’ said Kyro’s mother.

Both Kyro’s parents left and they had the crowed disperse and took Kyro to their hut and placed him on his bed mat in his room ‘will this affect z Kyro’s mother.

Kyro’s mother had a slightly bulging stomach as she was pregnant. Kyro’s father smiled and Kyro started to stir awake ‘hey there little one’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro rubbed his eyes and he realised he was peeing himself. He knew he started peeing himself just prior to waking up ‘daddy we’re back?’ asked Kyro.

Kyro’s father was astonished by what Kyro said. Kyro when tired or just woken up uses the term “mommy” and “daddy” without realising it ‘you’re up’ said Kyro’s father.

There was a loud splotching sound and Kyro and his parents ran out. One of the tribesmen had the juice and remains of some stink fruit covering them ‘Mana!’ shouted Kyro’s father.

Mana ran off and Kyro’s father looked around to Kyro ‘hungry there little one? Come on the food is probably being prepared for cooking’ said Kyro’s father.

Kyro looked down the front of his diaper was damp, and his mother changed him quickly and they walked to the fire. They waited for the food to be prepared in which Kyro played with some of his friends, Kyren and Taren. After a game of hide and find Kyro ran to his father for yet another diaper change and it was time to eat. Kyro sat with his mother and father and had some dinner after which he was given a little breastfeed and he was led to the hut for bed time ‘Kyro hopefully tomorrow is an accident free day’ said Kyro’s mother. 

Kyro nodded and he curled up on his bed mat and fell asleep. The curtain in the doorway was pulled across and Kyro’s father laughed ‘it was a good thing the Kaklik charged us. I didn’t want to spend all day tomorrow hunting it’ said Kyro’s father to his life-mate. 

Kyro slept quite well and his parents knew that it’d take a lot to wake him so they walked out and sat by the fire as the sun finally set on what could easily be Kyro’s longest day.
