OK with that being said here's the first chapter. Enjoy.

An Unexpected Surprise 3: The Next Generation

Ch. 1 Peaceful Times

Queen Kiara of the Pride lands was looking down at her Kingdom with great joy. All was well with her Kingdom. But sadly not all was well with her family. Her mother, Nala had taken ill a couple weeks back and sadly had gone to join the Great Kings of the Past. While this saddened Kiara greatly she knew her mother would always be watching over her. Just then she was joined by her mate, Kovu and their son Chaka. "Hey there my two boys," the golden brown Queen said giving Kovu and Chaka nuzzles.

"Hey there yourself," Kovu said, returning his mate's nuzzles.

"Where's Malikia?" Kiara asked, looking around for her granddaughter.

"She went with Kuoko and Leona for a little girl time," Chaka said with a smile. "Colo's agreed to watch Baraka so Leona could get some air."

"I remember those days," Kiara said with a laugh. "Having a newborn isn't easy sometimes."

"Tell me about it," a voice said. The group turned and saw a very tired looking Kion standing there.

"Kion you look beat," Chaka said, walking up to his cousin. "And shouldn't you be with Fuli and your son?"

"Fuli kicked me out," Kion said, with a small smile. "Guess I was getting on her nerves. Ahaua kept us up again last night. I swear that boy only sleeps during the day."

"Welcome to fatherhood," Kovu said, putting his paw around his nephew.

"Uncle Kovu I don't know how you and Aunt Kiara did it when Chaka and Leona were newborns," Kion declared. "I mean that's hard enough without adding the duties of being King and Queen on top of it."

"Well luckily we had help," Kiara declared. "And you have help too Kion. Never forget that."

"I know," Kion said, smiling at his aunt. "But now I've gotta go on patrol with the Guard. See you guys later." With that Kion was gone.

"Speaking of patrol," Kovu said. "Chaka I thing you and I should get going on our patrol."

"Sure thing Dad," Chaka said. "See ya later Mom."

"Have fun you two," Kiara said, giving her mate and son nuzzles. With that Kiara watched the pair leave. Little did she know that trouble was brewing not to far away.

Meanwhile in a dark place know as the Outlands a dark figure was brooding. "Janja I don't know why you don't do something about this," Karaha declared, looking at her mate with annoyance.

"Yeah boss," Janja's right hand hyena, Chungu, put in. "I mean its been over a year since we've done anything."

"Yeah," Hasila chimed in. "I know we had to train and all but don't ya think we've trained enough?"

"They have a point Janja," Karaha said, looking directly at her mate.

"Look who's the Alpha Male around here?" Janja snarled, glaring at his mate. "Me that's who! And I say where we're ready! Besides ever since Suni betrayed us to go live in the Pride Lands I've had more important things on my mind. Like Shenja." Janja was referring to his newest daughter, who was now a six month old pup. She had been named after Janja's mother, Shenzi and himself.

"But we feel Shenja is old enough now to help," Karaha declared. "Isn't that right Janja?"

"Yeah," Janja said roughly. "And a plan is already going into motion as we speak."

"And what plan is that?" Hasila asked. Janja said nothing in response. Instead he left with Karaha right behind him. Once they were far enough away from the others Karaha turned back towards her mate.

"What is your plan Janja?" the female hyena asked, making sure she kept her voice low.

"I sent Shenja into the Pride Lands to find her traitor sister," Janja declared.

"But Janja Suni and Shenja know nothing about each other," Karaha pointed out. "They don't even know they're sisters."

"Exactly," Janja said, an evil smile going across his face. "It'll be the perfect trap. I have plans for our traitor of a daughter Karaha. Big plans."

"Janja I don't feel right about killing her," Karaha declared. "She's still our daughter."

"Who said anything 'bout killin' her?" Janja snapped. "I have other plans for her." Then without saying a word Janja turned and headed back towards his clan leaving a worried Karaha behind.

Meanwhile Kion, Beshte, and Bunga were patrolling the Pride Lands. Kion's father, Kopa and his grandfather, Simba had also joined the trio. "Luckily there's nothing major going on today," Kopa declared, as he sat beside his son.

"Yeah and that's fine by me," Kion declared, with a yawn.

"Baby kept you up again huh?" Kopa said, with a slight laugh.

"Yeah," Kion admitted, rubbing his eyes. "And Fuli's mad at me for some reason."

"Hormones," Beshete declared. "All females go through that after giving birth. After Zaka and Zuma were born Chanda snapped at me for no reason too. But if you're patient she'll calm down eventually."

"He's right son," Kopa said. "Your mother acted the same way after you were born. But it got better."

"Thanks Dad," Kion said, trying to suppress another yawn but failing.

"Kion why don't you go home and get some sleep?" Simba suggested. "We can handle things from here."

"I'm fine Grandpa," Kion protested. "I just.." Just the Ono came flying in looking frantic.

"Kion am I glad I found you!" the small white bird declared.

"Ono what's wrong?" Kion asked, his amber eyes wide with concern.

"Fuli and your mother sent me to find you right away!" Ono shouted. "Something about Ahaua."

"Is he alright?!" Kopa cried out, fearful for his grandson's health.

"I'm not really sure what happened," Ono declared. "I was just told to find Kion right away!"

"Then what the heck are we waiting for?!" Bunga shouted. "We need to get back there!"

"Lets go!" Kion shouted, afraid something terrible may have happened to his son. With that the group left heading for Pride Rock at full force.

Meanwhile back in the Pride Lads Suni was enjoying a nice walk with Furaha, Nash and their daughter, Thamini. Thamini was at the current moment trying to catch a butterfly while her parents talked with Suni. "Thamini don't wonder to far," Furaha called to her daughter.

"I won't Mom," the rusty brown cub called back.

"Thanks for spending some time with me guys," Suni said.

"No problem," Nash said, smiling at his friend. "We enjoy spending time with you Sun'."

"Well I appreciate it," Suni said, smiling back at her friend. Just then Furaha's parents, Kali and Jasiri, came on the scene alone with Nash's mother, Vitani.

"Hey guys," Kali said, smiling at the group.

"Hey Daddy," Furaha said, giving her parnets nuzzles. "Hey Mom."

"And where's my beautiful granddaughter?" Vitani asked, looking around for Thamini.

"She's right over there," Furaha said, looking over to where Thamini was. But to her shock her daughter was gone. "She's gone!" Furaha exclaimed, her blue eyes wide with fear.

"Don't worry Fur' I'm sure she's around here somewhere," Nash declared, trying not to show his own worry. "Thamini!" he called. "Thamin where are you?!"

"Thamini!" the rest of the group called as they searched for the young Princess. They searched for a few minutes but found nothing.

"Oh Nash where could she be?" Furaha asked, trying not to lose it.

"Don't worry honey," Kali said, giving his daughter a nuzzle. "We'll find her." Furaha opened her mouth to say something. But before she could a blood chilling scream echoed through the air.

A/N Heh had to end it on a little cliffie there. Aren't I terrible? lol. But I hope you all enjoyed my first chapter. Reviews are always welcome.
