Disclaimer: I don't own Kimba: The White Lion or the Lion King.
A rare white lioness picked up her only cub by the scruff of her neck. The Pride was in chaos-- there was no way the tiny kit could survive here. Much as it pained Sierra, She had to give Kimba to someone else, someone who could take care of her.
Sierra stood at the entrance of the Pride Rock, waiting for the gray lioness that had greeted her to come back with King Kovu so she could speak with him. Kimba, a white lioness with cerulean blue eyes and black eartips and tailtip lay at her feet.
Eventually, King Kovu appeared with Queen Kiara.
"Yes?" The bleary-eyed lion asked.
"I come in search of help," The lioness began, "I cannot take care of this kit. She is still young. I want someone to take her in and treat as one of their own cubs. Her name is Kimba. I am Sierra."
Kovu and Kiara exchanged glances. Kiara's belly showed that she would be kitting soon. Kovu spoke again.
"We'll take her in. She'll be raised as Princess Kimba. We will tell her we found her after a wildebeast stampede."
Sierra's worried expression changed to one of relief. "Many thanks," She said, and left Kimba at the King and Queen's feet.
"It's better than her being raised as a servant," Sierra whispered to herself before disappearing.
(7 months later)
Nine-month-old Kimba stared out into the beautiful sunset. Her five-month-old sisters, Keisha and Kami, were inside. Even at nine months, Kimba was recognized as a warrior. She got into plenty of name-calling fights-- and even a few actual fights-- with the cubs much older than herself. Keisha was definantly a princess, she demanded things and was very precise with her fur. Kami was easy-going, and loved to play. She saw everyday bright and full of new adventures.
Kimba knew she was adopted. "Found you after a wildebeast stampede," Kovu, her father, had said.
Kimba would have loved to know what her real parents were like, but she was content with what she had.
"Kimba, come in, Tarn just caught us a zebra," Kiara called in from the cave.
Kimba sighed heavily and heaved herself to her paws. No time for wondering now. There was work to be done in the morning.
Yeah I know it's short, but this idea has been in my head for four years now, and I just thought I'd put it up. And yes, I know Kimba is a lion, not a lioness, but, yeah. He's not in this fic. Review please!
