Hi readers, this would be my 3rd story here on FF, my 2nd one has been deleted due to personal reasons. This idea one day just came randomly one day and I decided to make a fully story about it. Timeline wise the guard are no longer in the Pride Lands for ( insert fan theory here) so ya. Next thing both Makucha and Kiara are the same age as if Makucha is the same size as Fuil, who is still be a cub in show, then I don't see a problem way he can't be around the age of Kiara. Anyway have a get time reading!

Kiara watched Rafiki bumble around tossing together all kinds of strange juices, and all around just being plan wired, but what do she expect from the royal mjuzi. Anytime Kiara came to see Rafiki she just watched him do his thing, the two rarely talked outside of royal business.

" So young prince, if you don't mind me asking. How did you stumble on to this one? It's very rare to see a leopard around this parts." Rafiki let a small chuckle as he wrapped mixed more juices together.

" Well… I was just wondering around the Pride Lands, practicing my hunting skills, when all of sudden I hear a loud roar of in the distance, so I followed the sound and that were I found him." Kiara looked at the leopard in front of her. She couldn't even bare to think of what happened to him for brushes to be THAT dark. " But enough about that Rafiki, is he going to be okay?"

Rafiki carefully finished wrapping a leaf around the leopard's left leg, and said. " Yes he be fine, he just needs to be woken up." Grabbing his staff, he hit the leopard square in his noggin with the force of a raging storm.

Kiara ran up, to the leopard, " Way would you do that! Would' that just make it worse?!" She asked angrily. Rafiki, just laughed it off. After a few seconds of silence a quite grunt came from the leopard, causing the princess to quickly turn around.

" Ugg... " Was all Makucha could say, as he tried to open his eyes. By the great kings did everything hurt. His lower half felt as if he just walked through a grove of throne bushes, and don't even get him started on his head! After what felt like hours he was finale able to open his eyes. Things where blurry at first, but slowly did he get his sight back.

" He's waking up!" Kiara asked thinking Makucha was in a good state to be asked questions. .

" You okay? What happened back there? How di-"

Not even one minute after regaining consciousness, did Makucha wish he was knocked out again! The lion cub in front of him was just so annoying, and after what was most likely to be the tenth question, he finally snapped " Shut up would ya! I heard baboons less annoying than you!"

Kiara whole demeanor changed in instant, from caring for Makucha to not caring " Sh… I'm sorry for asking how you feel, but I think you should be a little more thankfully of me for saving you life." Kiara spat back with clear anger in her voice.

Makucha just gave an amused grin as he brought his face closer to Kiara's " You saving me?! Please I would have been better by myself then being ' saved ' by a cub."

" I sew you faint in front of my own eyes! How could you tak-" Kiara and Makucha argument stopped as both cats heard an old hyena dieing behind them, but it was just Rafiki laughing at the both of them. Kiara broke and gave a small chuckle but Makucha wasn't having any of it.

" What's so funny you old monkey?!"

" What funny? Haha my young friend it is you! Who's the funny one, the way you act all powerful!" Rafiki crackled, " even when you can't stand!"

Makucha become furious! How dare an old monkey mock his power " You want to see how strong you little mo-Ahhah!" Makucha let out a loud bloody roar as he tried to stand, a pain like he never felt before shot through his body forcing him to fall back down. As he reopened his eyes, Rafiki grabbed his staff as he was about to leave the tree.

" What did I say?" Rafiki said playfully Makucha just rolled his eyes. Directing his attention on to Kiara " I recomined helping him up princess, as we need to go introduce him to you father."

" Wait Rafiki? Why do we have to go to Pride Rock?" Kiara words got quieter as Rafiki got further and further away. Well.. I guess we find out when we get there Kiara mumbled to herself. She turned around to find Makucha once again trying, and falling to get up. With a sigh she walked towards him.

" You needed help there?" She asked with jokingly, as she bent down to his level.

" No, and even if I did I wouldn't get it from you cub!" Makucha growled, as he started to get up on his own, his legs, where all wobbling and he prepared to fall once more on the hard bark, but this time he felt something way softer then bark.

" My… name…. Is Kiara" She said as she lifted him on her back, to his surprise " and am the princess of the Pride Lands. "

" Names Makucha, I'm from the Back Lands, and that all you need to know!" He said as Kiara fully got him on her back, and just how soft her fur was enough to make his dowsey.

" Nice to meet you Makucha." Kiara happily said. As she got to the edge of the tree, see looked back at Makucha to find he has fallen asleep again. She let out a small chuckle Maybe there is something more to you, she thought as Kiara made towards Pride Rock

Who would have guessed that the dry season, would be hot! Sure it was a nice day and all but the extra body of fur wan't making it easier for Kiara. But thank the Kings Makucha was still asleep, as she could only image the walk then. Kiara's back was aching from how surprisingly heavy Makucha was. It made the a walk she would take many times before, was now the longest journey she had ever done. Combined with the extra weight and how damp her fur was becoming, Pride Rock was a sight for sore eyes.

Before Kiara could make the last sprint towards Pride Rock a gruff grunt came from here back.

Finally he's awake Kiara said mentally " How was your nap?"

" Ugg Shut Up!" Makucha growled as he bright up a paw to rub his eyes.

" A thank you would be nice."

" Last I checked I didn't ask you to help me, so I don't think you deserve it".

" Fine then! You can walk the rest of the way. " Kiara commanded, as she bucked her back… back pushing Makucha off her.

The Back Lander let out a mutided of curses under his breath, as he weakly got up. Sure he could stand know but his hind leg still hurt like hell. When he looked up, Kiara was smugly look back at him, almost like she was saying ' you need help with that? ' Makucha just glared back and started to limp towards Pride Rock, with Kiara not to far behind
