Vitani and kopa are my favorite and never see many sorry about them! But ill be doing many more with over TLK characters! With that being said, enjoy chapter 1 of Everlasting Love!

The blood shit eyes and tear stained cheeks, vitani laid in her small corner of the cave asking herself why her life was the way it was. She had no friends, and no parents. Infact, the only reason she hasn't died yet was because nala had taken her in after her mother left her for dead

Vitani had became to shake. Crying for hours she decided to go get water and stretch her legs. As vitani became to walk toward the cave entrance she heard laughter. She turned her head to to see who it was, realizing it was a small group of cubs around her age

"Look how ugly her furr is!"

"She looks like a freak!"

"I bet no one will ever want to be with that gross loser" they continued on and on laughing even harder knowing that vitani was about to cry

"Even her own mother didn't want her" that was the last thing vitani could bare to hear before running out of the cave as fast as her little legs could go. Without realizing how fast she was running down pride rocks steps, vitani trip starting to tumble down the stair like rocks.

With only a split second of being in shock vitani began to feel an extremely sharp pain strike through her front leg and paw like lighting. Feeling the unbearable pain she let out the loudest scream possible

Nala was laying down with the other lionesess by the water hole as she hear the ear scratching scream "what was that!?" she said as her eyes widened. "Simba, go get rafiki we might need him. Kopa, hunny come with me I may need your help" simba and kopa nodded as they got up and followed directions.

Nala and kopa began running as fast as they could to pride rock. Nala spoke out loud not realizing "kings above please let that scream be coming from vitani". still running, kopa looked down knowing that his mother would be really sad if it was vitani that was hurt. Though they never talk, he still didn't want vitani to ever be hurt.

As they arrived at pride rock nala and kopa gasped at what they saw. Vitani was laying at the base of pride rock steps holding her right paw. Half crying, but also half asleep.

Nala and kopa run out the her quickly

"Vitani what happen sweetie!" nala said as she too starting crying. "I know in the cave, I was upset and crying. I thought it would be a good idea to maybe go down to the water hole and get a drink. When I got up the other cubs were saying means thing to me. I start crying again and ran out side, then I tripped and fell" nala looked as if she was both sad and angry at the same time "I'm here now" nala said as she nuzzled her adopted daughter "are you able to walk hunnie?"

Vitani looked at her paw, crying even harder then before. She looked at nala with tears in her eyes "i think my paw is broken, but I can try"

Nala shot her a look that said "no you're not"

"Ill help you get inside vitani" vitani was beyond shocked when she noticed that kopa was the one who had said those words. Her smiled a bit as her replied "yeah, if you don't mind"

Kopa smiled and tilted his head a bit "do you really think I'm gonna let you risk hurting your paw even more then what it already is?" vitani let out a small laugh as he said this

"Thanks kopa" she said smiling

Kopa slowly helped vitani stand up and support her right side. "Ouch!" kopa looked at vitani with eyes full of concern "are you okay vitani? Did I hurt you?" she looked really happy but still in pain seeing kopa so concerned about her

"Yeah. Well, obviously not. I just moved my paw to fast" kopa felt like he could feel her pain for some unknown reason "okay, well lets sit you down so you don't hurt your paw anymore then what it already is"

Vitani simply nodded as she layed down with Kopa's help. For the first time kopa realized how much he actually wanted to be vitani's friend

"Hey um, mind if I lay down next to you?"

Vitani slightly cocked her head to the side in confusion "but i thought you hated me?"

Kopa instantly felt like someone had just drove a bone through is heart (no pun intended lol) "you thought I.. I hated you?" looking sad vitani said "well yeah, I mean, we never really talk. And we've never hung out since I came here almost 2 weeks ago"

Kopa slowly rest his paw on hers "I don't hate you, i have no reason to either, I'm just.. Shy at times" vitani had more a "you? Shy?" look on her face at hearing this

Before she could respond rafiki walk into the cave and toward the two to check on vitani's paw. "Ahh vitani, I hear you had quite the fall just a bit ago?" vitani only nodded staring at her right paw "yeah. It still hurts pretty badly"

Rafiki began grab the weird looking things from his staff. He broke one of the melons in half, adding some nasty smelling plant looking things and mixed it together for a few minutes. Finally rafiki unrolled two long leaves and spreading the sticky smelling juices on them

"Now vitani" rafiki said " once I put dis on your paw and leg it will hurt for only a few second. After that it will become soothed and calm feeling" vitani nodded looking a bit scared "let rafiki take a look at how bad the bone is broken"

Rafiki slowly picked up vitani's paw to examen the brake. There were a good amount of ooohhhhs and aaaaahs followed by him looking at it. Once rafiki was done he looked quick satisfied " quite the brake vitani. But with about 2 or 3 weeks without walking on it and you should be back up on your feet!"

Vitani's eyes widened "2 OR 3 WEEKS!?UUUUUIGHHH" she left out a heavy sigh "okay. But, can you put the bandages on now please? This really hurts" rafiki let out a small chuckle as he began to put on the bandages

Vitani felt somewhat awkward as she looked at kopa and whispered "can I hold your hand when the puts them on? It might hurt a lot"

Kopa felt his face heat up as he placed his paw on vitani with a smile "ill be right by your side through it all"

At this moment Vitani felt as if she was lighter then air. She didn't think kopa would say yes. But she was glad she did. As rafiki wrapped her paw and leg she squeezed kopa paw. Seeing she was in pain he moved a bit closer to hear and rested his head of her shoulder, hoping to comfort her.

Vitani smiled thinking to herself " i know me and kopa just started hanging out today, but I feel like I might.. I think I like kopa. I think I may be falling in love with him"

When the two came back from the lost lands of their minds they realized that rafiki had already finished wrapping vitani's paw and leg and left.

Before the two could do or say anything tho group of cubs came up to the two "uhh kopa? What are you doing with her? She's going to infect you with her freakness" one said "yeah, why are you waisting your time with this pathetic loser" the other said "kopa, you could do sooo much better. Like being with me" the same one said

When kopa saw that vitani has begin to cry he stood up and did what no one excepted

"Why don't you just get the hell out of here if you're just going to be a bitch to vita I for no reason!"

The small group of cubs jaws dropped at hearing this "excuse me!?"

Kopa gave a small laugh "I'm sorry did I stutter or are you just to lost in your ignorant filled ego too comprehend when I just said?"

Vitani couldn't help but laugh. Missy leela and karlin where shocked at how kopa was acting

Leela spoke up first "what the hell kopa I thought we were friends!?"

"Noe why do you think I would want to be friends with 3 girls who just like too walk around acting like we're better then anyone else when in am reality your just pissed cause she's nicer then you, she's prettier then you, and she's COOLER THEN YOU!"

vitani was speechless "he thinks I'm cool? He thinks I'm nice? HE THINK PRETTY!?" she tried to think as her mind raced a million miles an hour

All jaws dropped once more as kopa continued "You three are just a couple of selfish bitches who only care about themself and will never get anywhere in life but but being six feet with no one missing you"

Before kopa could continue his mother, father, and rafiki walked into the cave. More surprised then ever, seeing a good amount of what just happened. "KOPA!" nala said upset with her son with what she just satreatDon't kopa me they're the ones who've been bullying vitani! I am NOT going to stand around while they treat vitani like this and not say anything about it rather anyone like it or not!"

Before his parents could speak up kopa looked at the three girls one last time "stay the hell away from vitani. And if I EVER see you near EVER AGAIN I swear to the great kinds I will KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND! Do I make myself clear?"

Terrified at what had just happened the three wide eyed girls all responded "YES" at once, then ran out of the cave.

Nala and simba gave each other a look they and rafiki walked to you the two young cubs.

"Mom I'm sorry, I didn't want to stand by and not.."

"Kope, you're not in trouble. You saw that vitani was being bullied and stood up for her"

Simba added "me and your mother are very proud of you for doing that."

Kopa began to smile. Maaaybe a little to soon

Nala spoke up "but. You are how ever in trouble for swearing at those cubs. So, your punishment with be.." nala thought hard about this punishment, she was about to say something when she realized the way vitani was looking at kopa. She began to think even harder "That's looks so much the way I use to look at simba when..." nala eyes widened " when I began to like simba!"

Nala finished "your punishment is to stay here in the cave and keep vitani company until her paw and leg is fully healed" as vitani hid her face kopa was about to protest then thought "maybe this would be good for vitani, she doesn't really have any friends. And she is pretty cool, and funny, and cute..WAIT WHAT!? I THINK SHES CUTE!?

When kopa felt his face begin to heat up he quickly nodded along with "yes mom" and began to change the subject

Nala couldn't stop thinking that there was more to kopa and vitani then what they really wanting to admit " I've seen the way they've been secretly looking at each other during our conversation. Maybe this punishment was a better idea then what I first thought"

And so it was, just as nala thought. The first two days had passed, going much faster then what vitani and kopa thought. But what happened next, was something young vitani didn't think he would do again.

Vitani and kopa were laying down in the cave like normal when kopa began to move slightly closer to vitani hoping she wouldn't notice.

Kopa slowly began to wrap how arm around vitani. To his surprise vitani acted as if it wasn't anything new. What surprised kopa was Tani nuzzling kopa then resting her head against his. What neither of them knew, was that a proud mother was watching from a distance with her loving mate " see simba, I knew the look vitani gave kopa" she said with a chuckle

"What do you mean?" simba said in confusion

"Vitani gave loathe same look I gave you when I first fell in love with you all those years ago" she said smiling

Simba was quite surprised at how nala noticed that before anyone else had "how do I always forget that you are the most observant in the pride?"

"men" nala said laughing
