A/n OK everyone I'm back. Sorry for the long hiatus but I needed a little break from TLK writing. So here's the premise of this story: Kion and Kiara are having trouble getting along and fight all the time. But then something happens that forces them to get along. I don't wanna reveal to much for fear of spoiling the story. So here's the first chapter. Enjoy and as usual I don't own The Lion King or its characters. Disney does. But I do own my OC characters which may be used with my permission. Enjoy the first chapter.

Sibling Rivalry

Ch 1 The Perfect Storm

It was a sunny day in the Pride Lands and a golden coated cub with a fluff of red on his head and amber eyes was up before sunrise. This cub was Prince Kion and he was up early as he was everyday to watch sunrise with his father, King Simba. This was one of the few things he did with his father without his older sister, Princess Kiara being there. But to his dismay when he reached the top of Pride Rock he saw Kiara sitting there. "What're you doing up so early?" Kion asked, annoyed that his sister was there.

"Waiting for Dad," was Kiara's response. "He said he'd show me the Kingdom today and he wanted to get an early start."

"Well beat it," Kion hissed, glaring at Kiara. "This is my time with Dad."

"Why don't you beat it Kion?" Kiara snapped back, glaring back at her younger brother. "I was here first."

"Kiara," Kion said through clenched teeth. "You know I always watch the sunrise everyday with Dad. Its one of the few things I get to do alone with him. So scram."

"Make me," the golden brown Princess said in a mocking tone of voice.

"Oh I'll make you alright," Kion growled as he began to lunge for his sister. But he was stopped by a voice saying, "What's going on out here?" The two siblings turned and saw Simba standing there.

"Oh Morning Dad," Kion said, running up to his father and nuzzling him. "I was just explaining to Kiara how we always watch the sunrise together. Just the two of us." Kion shot Kiara a look when he said this part.

"I'm surprised you're up this early," Simba said after nuzzling his daughter.

"Well you said you wanted to get an early start Daddy," Kiara explained.

"Well I meant after breakfast," Simba said with a laugh. "But we're glad to have you join us sweetie."

"Yeah so glad," Kion grumbled, rolling his amber eyes. "Not." But Kion didn't say this to his father because he knew it wouldn't do him any good. So he just kept quiet and watched the sunrise.

A little while later the sunrise was over and Simba and his children were back in the cave where the lionesses were getting ready for their hunt. "Well good morning my dears," Kion and Kiara's mother, Queen Nala said with a smile as she nuzzled her mate and children. "Kiara you joined your brother and father for the sunrise?" Nala couldn't hide her surprise as she knew how much her daughter loathed getting up early.

"Yeah it was really cool Mom," Kiara said with a smile. "I might just watch it everyday." Kiara shot her brother a smirk when she said this part. Kion growled under his breath and glared at his sister.

"Well I'm glad you enjoyed yourself sweetie," Nala said with a smile.

"C'mon Daddy lets go explore the Kingdom," Kiara said, once again looking at her brother with superiority.

"Can I come?" Kion asked, anxious to get a chance to spend some time with his father.

"Don't you have your Guard duties to do or something stupid like that?" Kiara asked, rolling her amber eyes.

"The Guard isn't stupid Kiara!" Kion shouted, glaring at his sister. "We protect the Pride Lands which is more that you ever do!"

"I'm future Queen!" Kiara shouted back. "That's way more important than your stupid Guard!"

"It is not!" Kion cried, becoming more and more enraged.

"You're just jealous!" Kiara declared.

"Like I'd ever be jealous of you!" Kion snarled.

"Kion! Kiara! That is enough!" Nala shouted, getting in between her furious children.

"What has gotten into you two?" Simba asked, shocked that his children were so angry

"Kiara's always butting in!" Kion shouted, still furious. "She always gets to spend time with Dad and the one time I get to have some alone time with him she butts in and I'm sick of it!"

"Kion..." Simba began. But he was interrupted by his son's furious cry.

"I know she's future Queen and you have to train her," the golden Prince said willing the tears that were forming in his eyes to go away. "And I get that. But sometimes..." Kion trailed off not knowing if he should continue.

"Sometimes you act like a jealous jerk," Kiara scoffed, rolling her eyes once again.

"Kiara!" Nala scolded, giving her daughter a sharp look.

"Kiara that was uncalled for," Simba said, also giving his daughter a look. "Kion if you would like to join us I'd be happy to have you."

"Oh just forget it!" Kion shouted. "I can't stand being around her anyway!" With that Kion took off to find his friends.

"Well lets go Daddy," Kiara said, starting for the cave exited.

"Hold it right there Kiara," Nala said, angrily. "You're not going anywhere."

"But Mom," Kiara began.

"Not buts young lioness," Nala said. "You treated your brother very badly and that will not go unpunished. So you can forget about going anywhere today. Or tomorrow for that matter."

"That's not fair!" Kiara cried out. "Daddy please..."

"I'm sorry Kiara but I agree with your mother," Simba said. "You've been treating Kion very badly lately and that's got to stop. And I think a couple days in the cave will help you think."

"But Daddy," Kiara began, trying to use her good daughter voice.

"Its for your own good," Simba declared as he nuzzled his daughter and mate. "I'll see you girls later." With that the King was gone.

"Kiara you get to your spot and stay there," Nala said, pointing towards the area where the Royal Family slept. "When I get back from the hunt you and I are going to have a serious talk." With that the Queen was gone as well.

"Stupid Kion," Kiara grumbled as she flopped down in her spot. "This is all his fault. When I get un-grounded I'm going to get him good." With that Kiara layed her head on her paws all the while thinking how she'd get her revenge on her brother.

Meanwhile Kion had found the rest of his Guard which consisted of a young cheetah named Fuli, and honey badger named Bunga, a hippo named Beshte and a egret named Ono. His friends greeted their leader with smiles but those smiles quickly vanished when they saw the scowl on Kion's face. "Hey what's wrong Kion?" Bunga asked, hopping off his perch on top of Beshte.

"Sisters that's what," Kion grumbled. "Kiara's such a little brat."

"What'd she do this time?" Fuli asked, rolling her forest green eyes.

"She acts like such a snob," Kion complained. "She thinks she's so great just because she's the heir."

"So what else is new?" Fuli said, once again rolling her eyes. "Kiara always acts like that."

"Yeah you usually don't let that bother you," Ono put in.

"What's really going on Ky?" Beshte asked, his voice full of concern.

"Today she watched the sunrise with me and Dad," Kion explained. "That's the only time I get to spend with just me and him and she knows that. But she still went up there anyways. And she always acts like she's better than me."

"That's because she is better than you," a snobbish sounding voice said. Kion and his friends looked and saw Kiara's friends, Zuri and Tiifu walking towards them.

"Zuri you don't know what you're talking about as usual," Fuli said, rolling her eyes at the peachy coated lioness cub.

"I know more that you do Fuli," Zuri declared in a superior tone. "I happen to be friends with Kiara so I know a lot."

"Big deal," Bunga said, rolling his own eyes. "We're friends with Kion and you don't see us actin' all snobby."

"Well Kiara's the future Queen," Zuri declared, narrowing her blue eyes at Bunga. "I think that makes her better than Kion don't you think?"

"No I don't!" Bunga shouted, putting his hands on his hips

"Yeah Kion's the Lion Guard Leader," Ono put in. "That's a very important job."

"They do have a point Zu'," Tiifu said. Zuri gave her creamy golden friend a look but said nothing.

"C'mon guys lets go," Kion grumbled. "We've got important things to take care of unlike some lions." Kion gave Zuri and Tiifu looks when he said this part. With that the group of young animals were on their separate ways.

Meanwhile in a barren wasteland known as the Outlands another lioness was plotting her revenge. This tan coated lioness with blood red eyes was Zira and she was, as usual, plotting her revenge against Simba and his family. Just then another lioness with a creamy golden coat and light green eyes named Asha approached Zira. "My lady you wished to see me?" Asha said with a bow.

"Yes I did Asha," Zira said, coming down from her perch. "I want you to do something for me."

"Anything my Queen," Asha said.

"I want you to take Cala and Kurya and go into the Pride Lands and bring somethings to me," Zira said, a devious look going across her face.

"And what do you wish us to bring you?" Asha asked.

"I want to find Simba's brats and bring them to me," Zira said. "And make sure they're alive. I have special plans for them."

"Yes my Queen," Asha said, bowing as she exited.

"Oh Simba you shall rue the day when you crossed me," Zira snarled to herself. "Oh how glorious it will be when I use your own children to bring you down." With that Zira let out an evil laugh and awaited her minions' return.
