Chapter One

"Run away with me." Kovu whispered in Kiara's ear.

It had been a month since he Outlanders joined Simba's pride. The Kiara and Kovu had decided to watch the sunset together in a spot right below Pride Rock. Kovu was lovingly grooming Kiara, bringing his tongue from the nape of her neck, all the way down to her tailbone. Mufasa only knows what Kiara's dad, Simba, would do if he caught Kovu. Though he accepted their relationship and blessed their union, Simba did not like Kovu getting so "affectionate" with his daughter.

"Run away with me," he repeated.

"Mmmm," Kiara said, nuzzling Kovu's mane. She was making a sweet growling sound that sounded almost like purring.

"I'm serious. Just for a few days. Let's go someplace romantic," he playfully nipped at her ear.

"My father would never let us," Kiara said, sitting up.

"Then...let's not tell him."

"You're insane," Kiara said, pinning her boyfriend to the ground.

Kovu smiled and licked her. She was so beautiful. "My dad would have a fit," Kiara reminded him.

"Just for a few days. Think of it Kiara, just the two of us...on a romantic vacation...for, what does your dad call it? Hakuna Matata."

"It does sound nice," Kiara sighed. She bent down and nuzzled Kovu. He was so sweet.

"We'll leave tomorrow, before anyone wakes up," Kovu licked Kiara's cheek.

"Then we'd better get some sleep," she chuckled. Kovu smiled and the two started towards the sleeping cave in Pride Rock. Something really annoying Simba did was he made Kovu and Kiara sit AT LEAST a giraffe's neck apart. As if they were going to do anything with all the lionesses (not to mention Simba and Nala) in the cave with them.

Kiara felt guilty and worried. The sound of Kovu's slow breathing helped calm her down a little. So did her father's sleep-muttering. She loved them both so much. She smiled, crawled over to Kovu and licked his ear. Kovu smiled in his sleep, which made her feel better about their "vacation". But, she didn't want her parents to worry when she was gone. She thought for a while, then came up with an idea. When she was a cub, Rafiki had taught her the alphabet. So, with her sharp claw, she drew two words on the floor of the cave: DON'T WORRY.
