It's been four days since Kovu sacrifice himself to save the Pride Lands. Kiara was moving on from Kovu. Kion and Fuli still did guard duty.
Three days down river. Kovu woke up from laying down on shore line, wondering how he's still alive. Mufasa said your not. Your in limbo you have to be convinced to go back to the real world. Kovu got up and looked around him to see he floated down river unconscious. Kovu whispered to himself that everyone must be thinking I died. Kovu looked at what remained of the river to know which way is home and started to walk back home along the gorge line.
In the Pride Lands. Kiara was playing with Tiifu and Zuri when Nala came over to them and ask Kiara how are you dealing with the lost of him? Kiara answers Good but I miss him so much mom. Nala hugs her daughter tight and whispers me too sweet heart. Kion looked at Fuli and said I can't think of a way to help her. Fuli tells him no one can take away that pain that Kovu did to her.
Down river. Kovu continue to walk along the gorge till he makes it home. Night time came so he laid down for four hours before getting back up and walk more through the night.
Next day everyone was coping with the lost of Kovu. Kiara stayed in the den laying down. Nala ask her if she was gonna go play with the others? Kiara says no I just want to lay down.
A day and a half away from Pride Lands. Kovu walked slowly to make it back home by tomorrow. Tired and hungry a little he walked till he saw a bunch of rock pyramid in the distance away. Kovu found a tree with oranges growing on it. So he climbed the tree to pick them. After eating oranges he continue his way to Pride Rock. Kion and the guard were watching the pride lands for problems. Kion ask Ono what do you see? Ono looked around the Pride lands till he spotted a lion walking along the gorge.
Kion tells the guard lets go check out the lion. Kovu walked till he stopped walking and looked to see he made home to be stopped by Janja and Shenzi and froze after realizing who it was and said your suppose to be dead. Kovu replies that's what I thought too but the force of the river sent me down river for three days I was unconscious laying at the shore line. Janja smirks well if you thought you were dead we'll make you dead. Kovu snarled you don't want to do that. Shenzi smirks and why would we not want to have a cub sandwich who is suppose to be dead anyways? Kion walked up behind them and said Janja what are you doing in the pride lands again. Kovu took off while the hyenas were dealing with the lion guard.
Janja answers we was hungry and we found this lion that was suppose to be dead wait where did he go? Kion ask what lion? Janja whispered Kovu is back. Fuli snarls that's impossible because I saw him drown in the river as it carried him away. Ono says when I saw blare of the lion, it had dark brown fur. So it could be Kovu then. Kovu ran to the hot tub cave to rest up before appearing back home. Kion ordered the guard to return home. Fuli ask what are you gonna do? Kion answers I'm gonna find this lion. Fuli takes the guard home while Kion followed the trail. Kion sniffed the scent to a cave and realized it was the hot tub cave. Kovu hid behind a boulder so no one would find him. Kion walked in more till he saw the hot tub and said I know your in here so come out now. Kovu if it is you, Kiara needs you now more then ever. She's been trying to cope with you being dead. Kion whispers she cries herself to sleep at night.
Kion walked around the cave wondering where the lion went. Kovu walked out to hide in another cave down the pathway. Kion came back to the headquarters. Fuli ask him did you find him? Kion shakes his head no. Night time came and everyone went to sleep. Kiara laid next to Nala sleeping since Kovu died. Kovu waited till Simba walked into the den to sleep and after a few more minutes he peeked inside to see everyone sleeping and spotted Kiara sleeping next to Nala. Kovu tip toe over to her and laid down putting his paw around her shoulder closing his eyes to sleep. Next morning Simba woke up yearning. Then licked Nala's cheek waking her up. Simba whispers good morning my queen. Nala whispers good morning my king and turns to Kiara laying next to her peacefully with a lion cub's paw around her shoulder cuddled up to her, wait what?
Nala looks at the cub and whispers Simba. Simba looks at her and ask what? Nala whispers look at who's back and cuddle up to our daughter. Simba peeks over her shoulder to see him and whispers Nala wake up Kiara. Nala licks the side of Kiara's cheek. Kiara sleepy tells her mom to stop it. Nala whispers if you don't wake up you won't see your surprise then. Kiara sleepy says nothing can make me feel happy again since Kovu died. Nala licks her cheek again and says well then I will just leave you two alone to sleep. Kiara's eyes shot open to see laying next to her was Kovu cuddled up to her. Kiara rolls over on him startling him. Kovu ask what is- Kiara kisses his lips not letting go of him. Kovu says I'm- Kiara kisses him again. Kovu ask can you let me up? Kiara kisses him again saying no. Kion walked into the den to see everyone staring at Kiara licking Kovu passionately. Kion ask his dad if he could motion everyone to give them privacy.
Everyone leaves the den for few hours leaving Kovu and Kiara alone to catch up. Kovu tells her Kion told me how you was coping with me being dead. Kiara smirks Kovu just shut up and kiss me smiling at him. Kovu kisses her lips for five minutes before breaking the kiss. Kiara smirks you've been gone for six days so you have six days of work to make up to me starting now. Kovu says yes I know how much you've been missing me. Kiara ask where have you been? Kovu answers I ran into Gavin forcing both of us into the gorge knocking myself on conscious and then a river came floating me down for three days. Kiara whispers I just glad your back so we can do this. Rolling them both over catching Kovu off guard. Kovu begins to get up when Kiara wraps her paws around him holding him close to her. I missed you so much Kovu I died too when I thought you died. Kovu looks at her eyes full of tears and says I'm sorry I did that to you.
Kiara looks at him and kisses his lips. Kovu looks at her and says let's go play tag. Kiara shakes her head no and says I want to do something else. Kovu ask what would that be? Kiara kisses his lips slipping her tongue into his. Kiara licks his cheek and tells him I'm ready for you. Kovu stares at her and kisses her. I'm not leaving you again. Kiara ask Kovu please, I missed you for six days. Kovu sighs and kisses her again till she gasp as Kovu kisses her. Kiara moans in pleasure at him being with her. Afterwards Kiara tells Kovu don't ever leave me again like that and welcome back my fallen king.
