The New King

Disclaimer: This is a pretty short chapter, just to start our story off. I do not own any of the characters except Chouwa, Kajin, Dokyou, and Akai. Please Read and Review! This is my first TLK fic.

Vitani had just had a new cub. This was a problem. Why was this new cub being shown off to the world instead of Kiara and Kovu's? It was simple. It turned out, Kiara couldn't have a cub. Rather said, isn't it? Well, they let Vitani's cub be future King or Queen instead. Rafiki entered the cave in which Vitani laid with her mate, Yuuki. Bundled next to her laid (uh oh...) four cubs. It was even. Two boys, and two girls. This wouldn't work out well. Which was the oldest? Well, Chouwa was. Although, it would probably be better, especially for Timon and Pumbaa's sake, that they picked a boy. The oldest boy was Kajin. Rafiki smiled at Kajin, then walked out. It was almost dawn. He stood on the tip of Pride Rock, as he began calling for all the animals to come. Every animal of the Kingdom came to Pride Rock. Elephants, antelope, zebra, birds, rhinos, giraffes, and many more were all there. Soon enough, the sun came up. The clouds then blocked it. The ceremony was about to begin.

Rafiki entered the cave, and shook his stick with two sacred gourds around, near Kajin and the other cubs. Then he broke one of the sacred gourds, rubbing, what seemed to be juice, which was inside it, in a streak across Kajin's forehead. Chouwa snickered at Kajin, thinking that his beautiful light tan coat would be stained. Rafiki understood this, and shook his finger 'no' towards Chouwa. Then, he picked up a handful of sand, placing it upon the mark. As Simba did, Kajin sneezed, a little bit of the sand coming off. Rafiki then picked up Kajin, and exited the cave. Vitani, Yuuki, Kovu, Kiara, Nala, Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, and the other three cubs followed behind Rafiki. There were so many animals upon Pride Rock, some of the zebras thought it was going to fall. Fortunately, it didn't. Rafiki stood tall with his arms out, showing Kajin off to the kingdom. There was then a split in the clouds, as a single ray of sunlight shown upon Kajin. The animals made a great commotion, then stopped. They all bowed their heads to show they respected the new king.
