Disclaimer: Kita, Tiaru, Taka, Tiku, Kiki, Bailey, Matosa, Kasoni, Miku,
Chloe, Nearu, um and anyone else I come up with is mine. Mohatu (2nd),
Kicku, Sarsha, Eshma, Niya, Tania, Shengo, Karla, Crinu, Pantia, Gina,
Timonia, Maya, I know there's more, but there are so many I can't remember
all of em'. Anyway all of those and a few more are C.a.b's so no touchy!
Authors note: This is a story that C.a.b. and I decided to come up with together. It is a crossover type thing where her characters meet mine.
Background: Kita supposedly had a stillborn cub, but was it really dead? What if, by some odd chance, he/she lived? Well, in this story we're going to say that he/she did live and that C.a.b's characters, found him/her. C.a.b I'll let you decide whether it's a boy or girl, but if it were a boy, a good name would be Kinu. Neway, C.a.b's characters find the cub, still alive, barely, but alive. Now they have been raising the cub. But when Kita and the Lone pride go for a new adventure and find them, will Kita know it's her own kin and if so, what will she do? C.a.b if you don't like this idea, let me know and we can come up with something different, anyway on with the story right?
Chapter 1:
Kita yawned and then rose slowly. She looked around at the cubs and adult lions around her. She smiled, although her young son Tiku was growing with every day. He really was not a cub anymore. Or at least not a cub cub anyway. She sighed and looked up at the sky. Her mother, Nearu was smiling down at her from the clouds. She smiled back.
Kita slowly and carefully maneuvered around her pride and then slowly made her way to the watering hole. She leaned down and drank slowly, relishing in the cool clean taste of the fresh water. As she looked down at her reflection she thought back to when Tiku was first born.
************FLASHBACK*************
Kita licked the small cub nestled up to her side. She had originally had two cubs, but one had been stillborn. Kita had pushed the dead cub out of her makeshift den and tended to the one that had lived.
*************END OF FLASHBACK*********
She sighed and then got up. She sat near the water thinking to herself. Had the cub really been stillborn? What if by some small chance it hadn't been? What if she'd pushed that poor little cub out into the storm when it was still alive? Kita shook the thought from her head. The cub had been dead, she told herself. There was nothing to worry about.
Tiaru approached her. "Something wrong?" he asked. Kita looked up. "Uh, no, I was just thinking about stuff is all." She replied. Tiaru nodded. "What kind of stuff?" he asked. Kita looked up at the now shapeless clouds and said, "Nothing much, just about when Tiku was born." Tiaru again nodded. "It's good to have him back, isn't it?" he said. Kita looked at her mate, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "Yeah, it is, it really is." She said.
Tiaru nuzzled her. "You know, it's sort of funny," Kita turned and looked at him. "What is?" she asked. "We didn't return to Pride rock because we were loners right?" Kita nodded. "Right," she said. "Well, look at us now. We've got three cubs and Taka. We're a pride now Kita." Kita smiled. "We certainly are. And I'm proud we are, looking back, I'm glad that we didn't become what we said we were going to be. I don't think I could live without Tiku or his friends, nor Taka either." Tiaru nodded and rubbed his head under her chin. "Me neither," he said, smiling as he and Kita looked up at the skies once more. Nearu and Tiku were nuzzling each other too, watching over them.
