A/N: Lion King belongs to Disney, so therefore I do not own it
-NM101
The lion cub cowered at his mothers harsh tone even as she hushed him quiet. He didn't want to be king, he didn't want to be anything like his father; Kovu was young and innocent - he didn't have hunger for power like his father before him. Neither did he have the same thirst for blood as my mother did. He faked sleep when his mother, Zira, began to sing about her revenge plans or her 'lullaby'. All of the terrible things she wanted to do, but when she sang about 'his daughter squealing in her grasp' his eyes snapped open and stood, facing the lioness, bristling as much as a young cub could. ''You wont harm Kiara.'' He growled quietly but enough for her to hear him.
She dropped from the rock she stood upon and studied Kovu for while before swiping her huge paw at him, knocking his across the ground. ''What?''
''She is my friend! You wont hurt her!''
''Well that is too bad, you cant stop me.'' Zira snapped, eyes narrowed to slits. ''Go on then leave, tell your little friend, see if I care! You're not my son anyway! I wont care if you choose to leave, actually you had better leave or else I'll have to kill you.'' She snarled, ''You never did belong here, I never should have taken you in. My pathetic sister got herself else killed, I should have left you to die as well, now GO and never return.''
His heart sank, his mother wasn't Zira? He put on his brave face and ran for the pride lands. ''Don't worry, I wont!''
