Kion

I watch both my parents, sister, and Kovu roar on top of Pride Rock. Zira's death put an official end to the Outsiders v.s. Pride Landers war. Everything is now at peace. Our pride is also twice as big with Zira's lionesses joining. It's going to take a lot of adjusting to get use to. Especially Kovu who is still in a relationship with my sister Kiara.

My parents and the whole pride may have accepted Kovu in, but part of me still does not trust him. Go ahead, call me a jerk or what ever rude names you have for me. Scar's spirit still lives on in Kovu.

I'll never let it go...

I leave the celebration and walk inside the cave alone. Everyone is still outside. I lay down with my front paws crossed. Fuli, Beshte, Ono, and Bunga all walk in.

"There you are Kion!" Said Bunga.

I half smile. "Hey, guys."

"What are you doing in here by yourself? Shouldn't you be out celebrating your sister Kiara and her boyfriend Kovu for joining the prides together?" Said Ono.

"I don't know anymore, guys..."

Fuli sits down next to me. "What's wrong, Kion?"

"Everyone is happy, except me. I'm like the only one who still sees Scar. I don't trust Kovu at all. Something is telling me it isn't over just yet. Scar's spirit is planning." I said.

"Kion, you have to leave things in the past. That's what everyone else is doing. Scar is gone, Zira is gone. We can all bond now and live without any worries or troubles." Said Beshte.

Bunga nod and crawls on to my back. "He's right!"

I look at all four of them and sigh. "Alright, I'll try."

"And get to know Kovu first before judging him. He's a nice fellow!" Said Fuli. "It took your father a while. But look at them now."

"Yeah, lower your guard some. Kiara is happy and in love!" Said Ono. "Whether you like or not, he's going to be family soon. You just have to accept it."

I smile. "Okay."

We all hug each other.

"Go talk to him." Fuli nods.

I raise a brow. "Now?"

Fuli gives me a serious look while crossing her furry arms.

I roll my eyes and stand up. "Fine, I'll talk to him."

They all smile watching me walk out the cave.

I so hate them for this...

Well, here I go...

I look around for Kiara. Where ever Kiara is I'm sure Kovu is with her. I see my parents talking to a few outsider lionesses. Oops! Did I say outsiders? I meant, our new members.

"Excuse me, mother, father?"

"Yes, son?" Father answer.

"Do you guys know where Kovu is?" I ask.

Mother nods. "Yeah, he went with Kiara behind Pride Rock. Why?"

"I want to have a kind talk with him."

Father smiles. I smile back and turn around walking behind Pride Rock.

Sure enough, I found both Kovu and Kiara. The two are chasing each other around happily with laughs. I shake my head.

Cubs...

I loudly clear my throat. The two stop they're little game and see me walking forward.

"Oh, hi Kion." Kiara welcomes.

Kovu didn't say anything. He just stared standing close beside her.

I fake smile. "Hey, sis. Mind if I take Kovu away from you a little while. I need to talk to him."

"Talk?" She ask, surprised. "About what?"

Kovu, who finally speaks, "Yeah, about what?"

"You'll see. Come on, it's nothing bad."

Kovu and Kiara look at each other confused.

"Well, you heard my brother Kovu. Go on!" Kiara said, pushing him forward.

Kovu still unsure follows slowly behind me. I led him away from Pride Rock into the plains. Awkward silence fell. Kovu clear his throat. I guess I can begin speaking.

I sit down. "Sit."

Kovu shook his head. "Nope. I'll stand in case this turns out to become one of your sneaky attacks!"

"Kovu, I'm not here to fight. Chill dude! I just want to make peace with you and apologize for my rude behaviors. That's all."

"Excuse me, did you just say apologize?"

I roll my eyes and chuckle. "Yes."

Kovu amused finally sits down. "Alright, I'm listening."

"I am sorry for not trusting you in this pride and also you being in a relationship with my sister. I've been overprotective only because your-"

"Zira's son, an outsider, someone who's following Scar's paw prints. Yeah I've heard that many times. It's okay dude, I understand. Your dad had said the same thing before he exiled me. It's okay!"

I look astonished. "Really?"

Kovu nod smiling. "Yeah. Plus, I totally get the whole brother-sister thing. Kiara will always be your sister. You two only have each other. Its just like with me and my sister Vitani."

"You're right. So...are we cool?"

"We're cool."

Kovu and I both hug it out.

Man, thank the great Kings that I got that over with!

"Come on, let's go home!" I smile, walking back to Pride Rock.

"I can't wait to see Kiara's face when we tell her that we finally made up." Said Kovu, leaping up to my right side.

"Yeah." I laugh. "She's going to be like, huh what?!"

Kovu laughs.

At Pride Rock...

"Kiara!" I call.

Kiara and Vitani are both behind Pride Rock laying on rocks gossiping. Kovu walks up nuzzling Kiara.

"I see you two are getting to know each other." He said.

Vitani nods. "Yeah, Kiara is cool."

"And Vitani is an excellent hunter. We may need her in the hunting party!" Kiara smiles.

"Kovu and I made up." I say, out of no where.

Kiara gasp. Kovu wrap his furry arm around me.

"Yup, pals!" Kovu nod.

"Finally!" Kiara laughs. "I thought I would have to strangle the both of ya!"

We all laugh including Vitani.

"So, this is your sister Kovu?" I ask, noticing the pretty lioness.

He nods. "Yeah. Vitani, this is Kiara's brother Kion."

"Greetings Kion! Oops, I meant Prince." Vitani corrected.

I chuckle and smile. "Hey, you don't have to call me Prince. Kion is fine! Nice meeting ya. Well, it's time for me to go patrol and guard the Pride Lands. Be back later!"

"Bye!"

They wave and watch me exit the scene.
