The Pridelands were healing fast after the whole incident with Scar, the last ruler of the lands, and all was somewhat relaxed since the last visit of three certain heroes.

The heartless had apparently gone into hiding alongside the hyenas and everything had seemed much brighter and healthier, the air carrying a fresh new atmosphere.

Sora walked through the pride lands for the third time, once again trying to grow accustomed to walking on four legs instead of two. He had found it rather irritating that he had been in a little pint-sized body belonging to a lion cub and was still having trouble with adjusting to walking on all fours.

Donald Duck and Goofy seemed to have adapted much quicker, though; Donald had —once again— taken on the form of a duck with a horn bill's body, his whole body white with tiny hints of baby blue adorning his feathery chest plumage and the tips of his primary feathers. He also wore his blue sailor hat whilst Goofy had taken on the form of a tortoise with a yellow shell and a green plastron, he even had his normal face and he wore his normal green hat which had a bone-shaped top.

Sora was turned into an adolescent lion cub, seeming to be between the stages of adolescence and cub hood, with his normal brown spiky hair which matched the bushy spiky tip of his tail. His underbelly, muzzle and paws were chalk white. He had his normal blue pools filled with naive, kind innocence and the whites of his eyes had turned a soft shade of beige yellow.

The trademark items were the chain necklace with the ivory crown pendant he wore around his neck and he held the key blade in his mouth whilst his jaws clamped down upon the handle.

The trio had come to simply check up on Simba's pride. The last time they had come, they had to deal with Simba's great reluctance to rule due to the overwhelming fear that had built up within his cautious heart.

They also found that Nala was expecting a cub...Simba's cub.

So, of course, Sora and Donald and Goofy had decided to go and visit the Pride and see how everything was going.

Upon strolling through the nice lush plains, they could not help but notice that things had improved already. A lot of greenery had started to grow back since the last time; the place was looking a lot less desolate and had a lot more life to it. Trees were now bearing leaves and fruit, a plethora of the wildebeests and zebras and other herbivores had returned to the lands. The skies were blue and the wind was much lighter and fresher and it purified the trios lungs and made them see how this land was cherished by the inhabitants of the Pride lands. Even the pride rock had regained all its former glory as it stood proud and tall with the sunlight beaming over it.

Upon scaling up the stable slope of Pride rock, Sora looked over to Donald and then Goofy and then back to what was straight in front of him. They hadn't said much since their arrival so Sora decided to spark up some conversation, a nice and friendly conversation.

"So...what do you think'll happen this time?" He asked, furrowing a brow at his friends.

His answer was a simple shrug given by Goofy, "Gawrsh, Sora, I dunno...I guess we just gotta wait and see."

Sora's whiskers bristled a bit and his eyes hardened a tad when he stopped dead in his tracks upon seeing a familiar Lion standing on top of the peak of the Pride rock. That proud figure looked like a brand of fire in the strong sunlight beaming down on the lands as he felt the wind tousle his bright red mane.

Sora's deep sea abyss blue eyes lit up in recognition and he lifted his right front paw and pointed up at the adult lion.

"Hey, look!" The dark brown cub exclaimed "Its Simba!"

Donald and Goofy smiled happily upon seeing the familiar lion whom they had befriended not too long ago.

Simba seemingly looked out into the distance and he had a serious expression on his face whilst the wind tussled his red mane and his whiskers brushed against the wind too. He looked so regal and sophisticated standing there, oblivious to the fact that he had some visitors.

Sora, Donald and Goofy all ran up to meet the king and were quite elated when they all saw the familiar lioness, queen Nala exit from the den within with a warm smile on her muzzle. Nala looked quite healthy and some would even say that she glowed, it was a glow that apparently never left even after her pregnancy. The slender lioness beamed upon noticing the three friends that were present and assisted when Scar's reign had ended.

Nala slipped passed them and wandered up to Simba before she proceeded to sharply nudge her mate and thus made him zip back from the realms of thoughts that plagued his obviously troubled mind.

Simba blinked with confusion multiple times and turned around to see why Nala had nudge him smiled wide and toothily whence he saw the familiar trio.

"Sora! Donald! Goofy!?" The big lion joyfully pounced on the three and started to nuzzle them like a big playful pussy cat.

Sora smiled sheepishly as he felt Simba's whiskers tickle his tummy whilst he lain on his back with all four of his paws in the air. He found this to be completely awkward and welcomed this lion equivalent of a friendly hug. He lightly shoved the older male lion away and climbed to his paws to stand back up; he stumbled backwards a bit whilst Donald and Goofy smiled happily at seeing their old friend.

"What are you guys doing here?" Nala asked, casting a sweet at Simba.

Sora replied as he climbed back up to his fours, putting the key blade away as it vanished into thin air, "We came to check up on things here."

"And we were hoping to see the young heir of the Pridelands too!" Donald added excitedly.

Simba's happy demeanour vanished immediately after the word "heir" was uttered. His eyes were downcast yet his expression was firm, clearly the cub was the source of worry for the king. He let out a long hard exhale as he looked down at his front paws.

Sora instantly picked up on this and frowned "Is everything alright?"

Simba didn't reply whilst he continued to look down worriedly at his own front paws and Nala proceeded to comfort her mate. The lioness burrowed her head into Simba's fiery red mane and looked at the three visitors with a small smile of reassurance being cast over to Simba.

She, unlike the lion, was more confident and started to explain, "Simba's just worried about Kiara. She went off to play awhile ago but she hasn't come back."

Sora and Donald and Goofy looked at one another. So the two had a daughter named Kiara? Yet she was missing? That didn't sound very good. They weren't even sure if any heartless had been left over since the last time they came to the Pride lands and that fact made this news seem a little more serious.

They were all silent for several long moments whilst they pondered upon the information and processed what to do before Goofy spoke up, the tortoise goof stepped forwards and offered with a small smile, "Want us to go out an' look for her?"

The king and queen lions, along with the younger lion and the duck/bird looked up and all eyes were on Goofy within three seconds of those words leaving his lips.

Sora looked dumbfounded after hearing the suggestion while Donald's jaw was slack as the lower bit of his duck bill had pretty much hit the ground, his blue eyes were wide with his dark pupils shrank into tiny dots to emphasise his shock of what was happening. Of course, neither of them minded searching for a lost cub but they didn't have much info such as their way around or what Kiara looked like or where to even start looking!

Nala spoke up, breaking both Sora and Donald's train of thoughts.

"Would you? That would be great!"

Goofy saluted, as did Sora and Donald —who had gotten over their stunned states of mind and just decided to agree to find the missing cub. After all, they felt that they should anyway since there weren't any heartless about and they didn't have anything better to do. The trio just decided to get some information and then get on with their mission.

Sora smiled to the two rulers and asked them "Okay, where should we start looking?"

Simba's face suddenly darkened considerably as a rather troubled look etched upon his face. His head lowered and he glanced to the ground at his paws as though he were considering whether to tell the three, he took a deep breath and then he looked Sora, Donald and Goofy in the eye. He looked somewhat unsure of himself.

"Well, she should be somewhere in the Pridelands on the path I had marked. I had also sent Timon and Pumbaa on her tail...but they could get kind of distracted sooo..."

Donald picked up what the lion was saying.

"She could be anywhere?"

Simba sighed, "I'm really hoping she hadn't gone to the Outlands."

Sora tilted his head to one side in confusion and perplexity.

"Outlands?"

Nala nodded, taking over from her husband, "It's a place where the Outsiders had been banished."

Sora looked at Donald and Goofy. Something told him that he shouldn't ask about who the outsiders were and he simply decided to assume that it was better not to ask, considering that the name was enough to send chills down his spine and how it made Simba's very aura change from light-hearted to surprisingly darkened made him realise that he probably really shouldn't ask any more about it.

After a moment or so of awkward silence, Sora spoke up once more and smiled confidently.

"Alright, we'll go and find Kiara for you."

Nala smiled and nodded her head gratefully.

"Thank you, Sora."

That was when the three friends left pride rock and went off on their mission to find out where the princess had gone. But what they didn't know was that they had no idea of what they were heading into and what awaited them when they were to find the little lost cub they were searching for.

They were to find that things were not as peaceful as what had first appeared...

A/N: Just a quick note, the title is actually "Finding you" but I just decided to make it the Swahili translation because I thought it would be a good idea...and I couldn't come up with anything better.

After watching the lion king Kingdom hearts level, I thought to make a sequel Kingdom hearts lion king version.

I hope you guys like it.
