Author's Note: I'm not sure where I got the idea, but I was on YouTube and seen a bunch of Simba/Kiara videos. Before we begin, remember to leave a review. Thank you, enjoy!

The cool rain poured down from the grey skies, damping his golden pelt. But that was the least of his problems. It's been a five months since he came back and defeated his uncle, it's been hard after finding out that he wasn't the reason why his father wasn't here but his own uncle's fault. He wouldn't of came back if it wasn't for his best friend, Nala. But after the fight she left, she along with three of their friends left. He couldn't stop her even if he wanted to, he loved her but it wasn't enough. It has nothing to do with the fact that they are cousins, but it was her desscion to leave. Her mother left along with her, ashamed that she mated with a murderer. He had nothing against Sarafina and Nala, they were not Scar and had no idea. But they left regardless of the new king's reassurance or the fact that his aunt who mated with his deceased uncle stayed with their daughter. Now that his bethrole was no longer available, he had to seek out a lioness to bare his heir and be his queen. But many of the lionesses were around his mother's age, or some where near it. The few lionesses that are around his age wasn't what he needed. With a heavy sigh, he lowered his head, this was a lot to take in and he needed to make his kingly rounds. With a deep breath, he stood and headed down the rocky slope.

It was still early in the morning, his pride wasn't even up. The little amount of animals that returned was starting their day, the herds grazing on the newly growing grass. His mother said in about seven months the Pridelands will return to it's beautiful state. Another heavy sigh left his muzzle at the thought of his mother, she was forced to bare his uncle's cub. A month before he came back, she gave birth to a female cub, Furhara. He shook his head and focused on the task. He was near the Zuberi river when a small cry of pain reached his ears. They flickered before he turned and walked towards the bank. What he saw made his orange eyes widen, he moved closer and sniffed it. Sure enough, it was a cub. He took a paw and wiped away some of the dirt, the cub looked up with fearful dark orange eyes.

"It's okay. What's your name?"

"Anfri..." the cub replied softly.

The cub was a female, but that wasn't the reason why he scrunched up his nose in disgust. Who would name their daughter, disgrace? With a shaky breath he bend down and got eye level. "Where's your parents?"

Anfri looked away, the dirt that clung to her fur started to fall. The young king could see freshly given wounds, claw marks in her side and a wound on her muzzle. "They don't want me. At least my father doesn't...he threw me in the river."

He looked up as thunder roared, the rain had eased but now started again. He couldn't leave the cub out her, she'll die. Blinking his own eyes to get rid of clinging water, he grabbed the cub and bolted towards his home, Priderock.

-O-

Thunder roared as lionesses entered the den. The former queen watched the lionesses settle down before casting her orange eyes towards the den entrance. She let a heavy sigh leave her light beige muzzle, she knew she shouldn't be worried about her son but he has never been gone this long before.

"Sarabi."

The dark beige lioness looked from the entrance to the direction of the voice to see a light beige lioness looking at her with knowing golden eyes. "I know what you're going to say, Naanda and I..."

"Mom!"

Sarabi and Naanda looked from one another to the entrance as a teen pale tan lioness ran in. Her red eyes wide as she came to a stop in front of the two older lionesses. By this time a young creamy orange -tan lioness walked over with a light brown lioness.

"What's going on, Zira?" the creamy orange -tan lioness.

The pale tan lioness took deep breaths before replying. "Simba is back! But he has a cub with him."

The lionesses around shared concerned looks before looking towards the entrance just as a shadow figure appeared.
