Hello everyone, welcome to my first fanfic! I hope you all enjoy it!
BTW, let me just get some things out of the way, saying that no, I don't like to think that Nuka and Vitani are Scar's children. Why you ask? Because it has just never been confirmed. I also don't like to think that Nala is really Vitani's mother, again, because of no proof of confirmation. I just simply don't like these theories. I just simply like to think that Nuka, Vitani & Kovu have all the same mother, which of course is Zira.
Anyway, now with all of that out of the way, enjoy reading!
PEACE! ;)
About a month went by after the rivalry of the Pridelander's, and Outsiders' finally came to an end, thanks to Simba's golden hearted daughter Kiara.
With Zira finally gone, everyone was happy to be ''one'' with each other. But for Vitani, there was one lion who she always thought about. Someone who she wished he was with them right now. Thats's right, her older brother Nuka.
One evening, Kovu spotted Vitani on top of Pride Rock, with her head down, looking quite sad. He went over to her, to ask why she looked so upset.
Kovu: ''Hey sis. What's wrong?''
Vitani turned to her brother. She felt like she was going to burst into tear's, but she managed to explain why she was so upset.
Vitani: "Kovu... Suddenly tear's came out of her eyes. ...I miss Nuka.''
When he heard those word's, Kovu felt upset as well. Then the two lion's were remembering the day when Zira, Nuka, and the rest of the Outsider's ambushed Simba at the Gorge, and chased him down to the pile of log's, where he was forced to climb up the logs' to escape. However, (as we all know,) Nuka volunteerd to kill Simba, just to simply make his mother proud of him. Unfortunatley, this action of course, (as we all know,) led him to his downfall, when a weak log that his back-left paw was standing on, slipped, which made him fall. When Zira and Vitani looked in shock, he finally landed on a pile of log's hard-on, and then finally a big log came rolling down towards him at full speed, landing on him head-on, leading to his tragic death. His last word's were: ''I'm sorry mother... I tried.'' Zira felt heartbroken when her own first son died. Thus everyone, incl. Kovu and Vitani, were all silent to mourn over the fact that he did all this, just to be noticed. And when Vitani thought about the day's when she was a cub, she now felt guilty about every time they argued about Kovu being the chosen one, plus losing her mother as well, as she then always thought to herself like, ''All of this fighting arguing was for absolutley nothing.'' And now ever since being accepted back into the Pride Land's, Vitani made sure that Nuka would always be remembered by not just the Outsider's, but also the Pridelander's. Even Simba respected that, even though Nuka did try to kill him, he understood why he did it, as Vitani explained to him, so he was able to forgive him as well, which Vitani appreciated very much.
While remembering all of those event's that caused there brother's death, Kovu then asked Vitani: ''What if it was really my fault that caused our brother's death?''
Vitani gave him a disgusted look. ''Dont you ever say that again Kovu!'' she snapped.
''Of course it's not your fault, you know that.''
Kovo: ''Sorry sis. I was just thinking silly, that's all.''
Vitani smiled. ''It's OK bro.'' she said.
Kovu smiled as well. ''I miss him too.''
Vitani: ''Even though he called you a little termite, I'm sure that deep down, he really did love you, especially when we were all little, and before Mother became obsessed of killing Simba, and before putting all her focus on you to become King of the Pride Land's.''
This made Kovu feel better.
''Thank's sis.'' he said.
Vitani: ''Remember that, OK?''
Kovu: ''OK.''
By the time they remembered all of this, it was almost dark. Just then, Kovu had an idea.
''I'll tell you what sis... he said. ''We should go back to the Gorge, and pay our respect's to him. I'm sure he would have loved it that we were there for him.''
This made Vitani smile, with tear's still in her eye's.
Vitani: ''That is a brilliant idea Kovu. He deserved a chance of living in Pride Rock with us.''
Kovu: ''That is true sis. That is true.''
Vitani: ''We will go to the Gorge tomorrow morning.''
And with that, the two lion's went to sleep in the cozy cave of Pride Rock, where all the Pridelanders' and Outsider's were already asleep by the time Vitani and Kovu finally came in to sleep for themselves. They both lied down on their favourite spot's, and went to sleep. They wondered how they would both feel when they will go back to the place where their brother passed away. They both felt nervous for the next day, but they were determined to pay their respect's to their fallen brother, no matter what. And with that, Kovu and Vitani went to sleep, preparing for the next day.
