Alive and Well
AN: Hello Lion King fans! I have been thinking about Lion King lately and decided to write a fanfiction for you! I have never written a LK fanfic before, so move your idle cursors to that button... You know, the one that says review? Anyways, here is your story!
The current swept Zira angrily down the mad river. Kiara watched as Zira's paw flailed above the water, then was gone. Or so she thought. Zira's head bobbed above the surface just long enough for her to gasp air in, then she was plunged mercilessly down into its depths.
Don't Panic! Zira remembered her mother telling her that if you ever were to drown, you need to stay calm and stay alive until you hit land.
Land! Zira's head bobbed the surface again and she saw land! She stopped flailing and started swimming strongly against the current towards the wonderful piece if land. Finally, she reached it and collapsed. As she drew in breaths rapidly, she thought she saw a dark shape moving towards her. But before she could recognize it, she passed out, but not before she heard the sigh.
"Oh, Zira!"

Zira awoke several hours later warm and dry. Confused, she took in her surroundings. She was in a cave. With a sandy bottom. Suddenly she smelt the most heavenly smell she ever could have wished for... Food!
As she started to crawl towards it, a soothing and very familiar voice stopped her.
"Zira, darling, you mustn't eat yet."
Zira snarled angrily. "Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do?!"
Her piercing red gaze met calm green ones. Very green ones. She let her eyes travel slowly over her rescuer's form. No. It couldn't be true! It couldn't be... Him!
"Do you not recognize me?"
Zira struggled to stand, but was instantly pushed back with a gentle paw.
"S-Scar?"
The lion smiled and stepped out of the shadows into the light.
"But your dead!"
Scar licked her gently. "Do I look dead?"
Zira shook her head, trying to focus her mind off his soothing tongue. "No."
Scar continue licking, "then I'm not dead, am I?"
Zira started to relax under his very familiar and very comforting tongue. "No, beloved, you are not."
Scar narrowed his eyes and started moving to her neck. "You were obviously too busy trying to drown yourself that you didn't even notice that I was watching you."
Zira smiled. "I suppose I might have been."
"What were you doing in that madness anyway?"
Zira suddenly snarled so fiercely Scar stopped licking. "It was Simba's daughter. She pushed me over."
Scar continued his licking, asking calmly, "is that so?"
Zira nodded fiercely, and her head began to throb wildly. She whimpered.
"Dear dear Zira, do try to be more careful in the future, huh?"
Zira nodded and mumbled, "I will." She then drifted off to sleep.
Scar smiled and nuzzled her ear lovingly before lying down beside her, his head over her shoulders and his tail stroking her face. "I have missed you, " he purred before he too, fell asleep.
"Daddy, did I do the right thing?"
Simba's turned to face his daughter. "What do you mean? Of course you did."
Kiara frowned sadly. "I tried to save her, Daddy, I did!"
Simba nuzzled her comfortingly. "I know. Her life is in fate's decision. "
"But I didn't. I couldn't! I couldn't save her!"
Zira awoke to find herself in the strong paws of Scar. What a pleasant way to wake up! She yawned and padded quietly to the entrance of the cave. Her growl echoed threatingly around the cave. "You failed Simba. I am alive, and very well," she stated as she gazes down on the sleeping Scar.
