Disclaimer: I do not own The Lion King or any of it's characters.

Okay, I thought of this idea because I was having a writers block on what to write for my other story, A Prince and a Princess: The Next Generation. So I thought of this. Some of these will be very short, and some longer. I put it in the categories Angst/Romance because though some of these will be very light-hearted and even humorous, but some (Like this chapter) will be very angsty. This one is pretty angsty but don't worry I'll try to make the next one more light-hearted. I am still a very new author though, so please excuse my newness.

A: Angel

Angel.

She was an angel.

And yet, what was he?

This question bothered him every day. Haunted him.

What was he?

Certainly not an angel.

And yet, she loved him.

Didn't she?

He was pretty sure she did.

He knew he loved her.

But what did he do to deserve her?

Nothing.

And that was why he couldn't sleep, why his nightmares haunted him, teased him.

They knew his weakness, and so did he.

Kovu doesn't have weaknesses, he'D told himself. While he was still controlled by her.

Zira.

His mother.

But, was she even his mother anymore?

He didn't know the answer to that.

He didn't know the answer to much, anymore.

All he knew was that he loved her.

And that he now had a weakness, and that his nightmares knew this, too.

He had something he had to protect now.

He had never been scared of anything. Not really. He was a mindless drone. He really didn't care if he died or not. He never worried, because he had nothing to worry about. Nothing of much value.

What did he have of value?

Nothing.

So what was there to protect?

Nothing.

He cared about nothing, except avenging Scar. But even then, he didn't really care about that. He just thought he did. The lies of his mother rang in his ears, corrupting him. And eventually deceiving him as his own.

But now he ran from the shadows, the darkness that chased him and haunted his nights with the memories, of what he had done, and of what he didn't deserve.

Yet somehow, even though the darkness deep inside him battled with the light, he knew that she loved him, and he loved her.

And that that was all that mattered.

Very angsty and cheesy, I know, but hey I tried! Please tell me how often you think I should update; I don't want to lose people but I want to leave enough time for reviews to accumulate before I put the next chapter up each time. Speaking of that, PLEASE REVIEW! Reviews make me update faster, so the more you review the faster I update! If I get very few reviews, it'll kinda be like well almost no one's reading so what's the point updating? So REVIEW! Hehe thanks ;). Oh and also, in said review, would you maybe give some B suggestions for the next chapter? I've thought of a few, but suggestions are always appreciated!
