OK. Been getting a lot of reviews not as much as I would want but enough to keep me story telling! This I just thought up as of now and the story is..starting now!

Summary: Kovu misses the great lion up on the cliff. His light brown mane that wavers when the magnificent breezes of wind flows like an upset stream. At first he would have killed him on sight. But now, Kovu is left with the odd options of killing him or turning his back against his family to keep Simba safe. Will Kovu amount to nothing but his father? Or will he get more then what he asked for?

Warning: Contains mostly fluff and violence!

or whoever....Kovu or Zazu or SimbaDisclaimer: I don't own the lion king and couldn't possibly own

Zazu flew overhead, amongst the crowds of lions that were being torn apart by claws and jaws. Teeth marks and claw marks showed clearly on each body as the tiny blue bird flew over them, searching for any sign of Simba and his daughter Kiara. He saw two brown lions, their manes, dark as Scar's mane had been before he was destroyed by the hyenas. One of them was clearly holding onto what looked to be his new king, Simba. Zazu flew quicker, pushing his wings to the limit of flying. The other brown lion looked as though he were ready for something to happen. Simba's daughter, Kiara, was no where to be seen at the site. Zazu had no clue on what he was to do except go straight to the king of Pride rock and ask for orders. But would Simba be alive still for him to ask? Zazu feared the worst and flew faster with his might.

The brown lion who was holding onto Simba's back with his jaws that looked ready to crunch the poor king's spine into two. The brown lion holding onto Simba was not very strong in appearance but the feeling of the teeth of an enemy must have been crucial. Simba seemed unconscious at the moment while the other brown lion, meatier looking then the other, circled the unconscious lion before him with haunting steps.

"GRRR...CHURRY UFF WHILL YOU!" The brown lion that held Simba in place seemed desperate for a killing of the mighty Simba, king of Pride rock.

"Not until he wakes up. I want to enjoy watching him suffer as he sees his daughter mangled up in a cave elsewhere." The brown lion holding Simba let go of the unconscious body and looked down right depressed.

"But I'm hungry. We don't have much food left you know. Mother's going to be angry if she sees us idling."

"If you're so hungry, get out of here then. Stop sticking around a place where you won't be fed." The brown lion thought about this for only a few short seconds before getting up on all fours and running off to join his mother in a battle with Nala.

The brown lion stopped circling the defenceless lion that lied there under the hot sun. He dropped his glaring and scowling face and put on a more reassuring face as he looked around him. The other lions were battling a war that didn't really matter anymore. His mother was a crazy lion who thought of nothing but to supposedly 'avenge' Scar. Knowing nothing about his father, Kovu began to be trained as a real killer up till the day Simba let him into his home. Believing himself to be interested in Kiara as a mate, he found himself staring at Kiara's father far more then he could count.

Simba stirred but did not wake. Kovu bent over the older lion's body and grabbed him by the neck like he had done with Kiara a few days back. The great mane of Simba, tickled Kovu's nose as he lifted the heavy weight off the ground. He looked around, making sure that his own kind were too busy fighting to notice that their promised 'saviour' would be gone from the battle and with him, the love of his awful and tormented life. The brown lion ran with Simba on his back just as Zazu flew past the site where the bird had spotted them and was now flying off to a new direction.

Kovu's eyes spotted the very same cave he was born in. His mother had often told him stories of how she had carried him when he was a cub as his brother and sister were old enough to walk on their own, walking by their mother's side and out of the pride lands. They reached the cave within three minutes of the battle ground. He set Simba down, leaning against a rock that stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the small pebbles. With a saddened look in his eyes, he leaned over Simba's head and licked the side of the king's face. He laid himself down next to Simba and continued to groom the lion until he was awake.

With his eyes closed and his head turning into a rhythm of licking the unconcious lion's face, he did not realize that Simba was fully awake. Simba gave a low growl and squinted his eyes as Kovu laid his head down and awaited for Simba to start biting him to death. He opened one eye and saw that not only was Simba staring down at him and not doing anything, but he saw that there was still a battle going on outside and he didn't move one inch. Kovu looked up at him in wonder and stood up to his full height.

"There seems to be a war going out there. Shouldn't we try to help?" Simba asked as he leaned over slightly to the left to get a better view of the ongoing lion battle.

"S-Simba? It's me, Kovu!" Kovu swished his tail in interest, wondering what could be wrong with the king of Pride rock.

"Kovu? Well glad that's settled. Now could you tell me where I am and who I am?" Kovu shifted a bit but kept his balance and proceeded on answering his questions.

"To start off, you're name is Simba. You're the king of Pride rock and-"

"King? Seriously?! That is so cool!" Kovu eyed Simba with suspicious eyes, hoping this wasn't a small joke of his as Simba prepared his body to prounce.

"Uh...yeah and...you took me as your mate." It was a bold statement coming from Simba's most hated enemy. But this was where the little joke would end. A test to see if Simba was real or not.

"Really. Then what's going on out there?" Kovu could not believe how fast Simba had skipped to a new question.

"A battle. A war of lions. My family are hunting for you. My mother wants you dead and wants me to take over as the king. I saved you from my brother who tried to kill you a few minutes ago. We are...deeply in love." Kovu turned around and faced the battle outside the cave and sighed.

"Then let's return to Pride rock. Are some of these lionesses part of Pride rock?" Simba was standing beside him now, full of pride.

"Yeah some of them. But we can't go to Pride rock, otherwise we'd be exposing ourselves. I say we stay here and wait it out."

"How can we just sit here and watch them kill each other?" Kovu dropped his head in shame.

"My family will kill you on sight and your pride are no better...except..." Kovu's voice trailed off as he remembered Kiara being in a cave not far from them. But he couldn't pretend to be in love with Simba as well as Kiara now could he?

"Except?"

"Except for Kiara. Simba, promise me you'll keep your mouth shut while we round up your daughter and wife."

"I have a daughter? Why'd you tell me I took you as my mate?" Simba began to get defensive and was now giving Kovu an angry expression, his teeth bared.

"I'm...your enemy. You hate me along with my father. Kiara, your only daughter thinks I'm in love with her. I'll tell you what, swipe me down and kill me and make it look like you defended yourself. I'm sick of my mother's ways and this stupid pride! Strike me, Simba! KILL ME!" Simba growled at Kovu as the brown lion laid down in anger in front of him.

"If my daughter's in love with you, she'd hate to lose you wouldn't she. We don't know what we'll feel when you see Kiara and it's best when a king doesn't have to keep such an awful secret from the others." Kovu got up again and headed out, Simba in tow.

The shrill terror of lionesses of both their kind could be heard all around. Lifeless bodies littered the ground as the few remaining lionesses fought to survive and to get the other to back down. It was a strange feeling, walking through your own kind while walking right next to your enemy. Kovu was feeling really stupid to have asked such a thing from Simba but then again, deep down the king really had a good heart.

"I hid her in this cave, so that my mother would not find her so easily among the others." Kovu was the first walk on in and found Kiara lying on the ground, still breathing and still conscious.

Her eyes were open for signs of movements and her timing was a bit off as she tried to attack the two of them. Kovu merely grabbed her attacking paws and slammed them to the ground with a sly smile on his face. The lioness blushed and smiled back, take a step back.

"Father!" Kovu stepped aside while Simba hugged the lioness back with affection.

"We'll have to find your mother and try to put an end to this mess. I'll seek Zira out." Kovu went to step out of the cave but both father and daughter stopped him from going anywhere.

"You can't stop them from fighting by yourself, Kovu. Let me come with you. I'll help you stop Zira." Kovu shook his head at Kiara.

"You know she will not listen to you. I don't even know if she'll listen to anybody now...unless...no we can't...way too risky."

"Unless what?" Kiara asked the pondering, brown lion.

"You may think it's crazy, but we could have your father pretend to give up his throne to Zeera, then that way we can get all of Pride rock's lionesses as well as ourselves out of here and find a nicer place to live until we can build up on food and water. And if we have more left or find some on the way, reinforce our numbers and come back in surprise!"

"Or...pretend you're...in love with my father..." Kovu and Simba looked at Kiara with surprised faces.

"W-what are you talking about, Kiara? I love you and I am trying to save all our butts here. Besides, she'd kill me before we'd be allowed to go anywhere."

"It's the only plan I could come up with." Kovu had to hand it to her. Besides being a klutz, she had quite a few good ideas.

"What do you think, Simba?" Simba had been sitting and watching the argument for a while and merely nodded.

"Great! I'll go out and find mother then. Be back soon!" With that, Kiara leapt out of the cave and onto the battle ground.

"Can't believe I'm getting myself into this. You should have just killed me back at the other cave, Simba."

"A king wouldn't want to have their daughter being upset. I wouldn't. We're going to have to make it look real for your mother." Kovu was astounded by Simba's talk and was wondering if maybe his memory was back all this time.

A/n: Will continue tomorrow or tonight if given chance but I'm just wondering what you guys think?
