The pride lands were busy gathering around pride rock to view the presentation of Kiara, Simba's daughter. The only animals not gathered were the parents of a small brown cub. He was born with a light brown diamond in the middle of his forehead. Two lions were gathered around him. A dark brown lion with a long black mane and emerald eyes; and a tan lioness with ocean blue eyes. "What should we name him?" asked Hasana the lioness.

"I was thinking Badru" answered Kanu, the male lioness. Badru stretched in his mother's arms.

"He will be the best lion for the pride lands, if King Simba will step down" said Kanu. Sipho didn't like Simba one bit ever since he killed Scar, who was a good friend of Kanu.

As they watched their young cub squirm and stretch, they looked away to see a tan figure, enter the cave. It was Simba and he didn't look happy. "Hasana, Kanu, I didn't see you at the presentation of Kiara!" Simba said as his voice boomed through the cave.

Kanu got up and walked up close to Simba. He stared at Simba with his green and yellow eyes, the same as Scar's. "We, like you and Nala, are with child and he will be a better king than you ever were." Kanu flashed his teeth and growled at Simba.

Simba walked out of the cave in a huff. At the same time, Kanu walked back to his son and wife.

Over time, Badru grew up and was raised to be king. He would roam the pride lands that he hoped would be his someday. One day, Badru was roaming and he literally ran into a yellow cub. She got up and looked as frightened as Badru. "H hi, m my name is Badru"

"My name is Kiara."

For the first time, Badru felt comfortable around a person he had just met. He then invited her to meet his mom and dad. Kiara agreed and they both walked to Badru's den. On the way, Kiara was excited to meet the little cub's parents, but Badru knew that his father wouldn't allow Simba's daughter in his cave. They reached the cave and Hasana was lying in the sun trying to sleep. "Mommy, I met someone today!" Badru said as he came down at incredible speed.

Hasana was woken up by her cub's high pitched voice. Hasana invited Kanu out of the deep dark cave that was his home. Kanu had large smile on his face until he saw Kiara. "She has Simba's blood" he said to himself.

Kanu walked up the hill towards the youngsters; he let Badru pass, but he stopped Kiara in her tracks. He glared at the young cub and all Badru could do was watch at his father would do next. "So, Kiara, your father is Simba?"

"Yes, yes he is" said Kiara with pride.

"Has my son informed you that Simba and his pack are not allowed on my property" screamed Kanu. "Anybody from Simba's pride on my property is mine to eat!"

"Don't you touch her" Badru screamed at the top of his lungs. "Please."

Kanu glared at his son and then circled him. "Why did you let her in the pride?"

"I don't know"

"You knew she was the princess of the pride lands!"

"Leave me alone!" Badru said as he ran away.

Hasana motioned Kiara to get going. She did and chased after the crying Badru. Hasana stared at Kanu, "Why can't you be happy that our son is making friends?"

"I think it's great, but his friends can't be Simba's family."

"Let them be friends' sweetheart."

"Fine" Kanu said as he nuzzled his mate across her soft neck.
