Ch 2 Surprise
Kali looked up at his attackers who instantly backed off. "Sorry Kali," Mshindi said with embarassment. "We thought you were the rouge."
"Yeah sorry Kali," Jasiri said also looking embarrassed.
"You still didn't ansewer my question," Kali said as he stood and brushed himself off. "What are you guys doing here?"
"We were worried about you," Jasiri explained looking at her mate. "I ran into Mshindi and he told me about the rouge so I left Amri with Shida and Mshindi and I decided to see if you neeed any help."
"You guys didn't need to do that," Kovu piped up. "I had everything under conrol here."
"But we were just.." Mshindi began but he was interrupted by Kali's loud roar.
"Enough!" Kali shouted his blue eyes flashing with anger. "I am sick and tired of everyone acting like I can't handle myself. I am not a child you know! In fact I have a child of my own. I don't need anyone to handle things around here. I'm the King and I will be the one who handles things get it?"
"Kali I'm sorry," Kovu said lowering his green eyes. "I didn't mean to upset you. I didn't realize I was overstepping."
"Yeah me either," Mshindi added. "I was just trying to help."
"I know you were," Kali said, his voice much calmer. "And you weren't overstepping Kovu. I appriciate all you guys are trying to do for me but in the future if I need help I'll ask for it. Ok?"
"Ok," the trio replied.
"Good," Kali said with a smile. "Now of you'll excuse me I'm going to look for the rouge on my own. I'll see you guys later." With that the King took his leave.

Kali was walking through the Pridelands in search of the rouge when suddenly he saw an unfimilar lion near the Outland border. "Hey you!" Kali shouted. Just then the rouge lion took off causing Kali to take off after him. The rouge didn't get to far however because out of nowhere a lioness jumped on top of him pinning him to the ground. "Tama what are you doing here?" Kali asked as soon as he caught up to them.
"I was just taking a walk when I saw you chasing after this guy," Tama said pointing at the rouge who had gotten to his feet. The rusty brown lioness turned to the rouge who was a gray lion with blue eyes and a brown mane. "Why'd you run for anyways?" she asked.
"Tama I'll handle this," Kali said to his mother-in-law. The golden King turned toward the rouge and said roughly, "Why did you run?"
"I was afraid for my life," the lion replied. "You see I've been attacked before and I really wasn't eagar to do so again."
"I just want to know what you're doing in my lands," Kali said not taking his eyes off the rouge.
"I was simply passing through and needed a meal," the lion replied. "Please believe me I mean you no harm. In fact I think I'll be leaving now." With that the lion turned to leave.
"Wait you don't have to go," Kali called out. "If you need a place to rest you're more than welcome to stay with us for a few days."
"You are most kind you Highness," the lion replied with a bow. "I gladly accept."
"Good," Kali said with a smile. "Come with me and I'll show you where you can stay." With that the King began to walk towards Priderock with the rouge and Tama right behind him. As they were walking Tama walked up next to Kali and whispered, "Are you sure about this Kali? He could be dangerous."
"I well aware of that Tama," Kali whispered. "He's not staying in the cave. He'll sleep by the watering hole where he'll be closely watched. Trust me I know what I'm doing."
"If you say so," Tama whispered. The rest of the walk was spent in silence.

As the trio neared the watering hole they were met by Jasiri and Kovu who were there with Chaka, Fraka and Kovu and Tama's daughter Nafsi. "Hi Mommy!" Nafsi cried running over to her mother and giving her leg a hug.
"Hello my darling," Tama said giving her daughter's head a lick. "And to you my dear," she said giving Jasiri a nuzzle.
"Hi Mom," Jasiri replied with a smile.
"And how were my boys today?" Tama asked giving Fraka and Chaka a warm nuzzle.
"Aw geeze Mom do ya have to do that everytime you see me?" Chaka asked pulling away from his mother and rolling his green eyes. "I'm not a baby anymore you know."
"Sorry honey," Tama said with a laugh.
"Hey whose the new guy?" Kovu asked nodding his head towards the rouge.
"This is the rouge that has had all of us wondering about," Kali explained. "He'll be staying here for a few days."
"He will?" Jasiri asked her brown eyes wide with surprise.
"Yes he will Jasiri," Kali said giving his mate a sharp look. The golden King then turned towards the rouge and said, "This is my mate and Queen Jasiri. And this is Kovu, Tama's mate and their children Chaka, Fraka, and Nafsi. Everyone this is... I'm sorry what did you say your name was again?"
"I didn't," the rouge replied. "My name is Kolo." Upon hearing the rouge's name Fraka's green eyes went wide and the gray brown cub let out a small gasp which Kali noticed. "Fraka what's wrong?" the golden King asked.
"Nothing," Fraka said quickly. "I gotta go. See ya." With that the gray brown cub took off.
"Fraka wait up," Chaka called running after his adoptive brother.
"I'd better see what that's about," Kovu declared going after his sons.
"Well I'd guess we had been getting back," Tama declared. "Come Nafsi. Time for your bath then it's off to bed."
"But Mommy I don't wanna get a bath," the rusty brown cub whined.
"I don't realy care," Tama said picking her daughter up and carrying her home.
"Yes I'd better be getting back to my son," Jasiri declared. "You coming Kal'?"
"I still have evening rounds to do," Kali said with a grunt. "But it shouldn't take me to long. Give Amri a lick for me."
"I will," the rusty brown Queen said giving her mate a nuzzle. "Don't be to long."
"I won't," Kali promised. He turned to leave but before he lest the King turned towards Kolo and said, "Make yourself at home Kolo."
"I will thank you your Highness," Kolo said with smile.
"It's Kali and you are more than welcome," Kali repied. With that the golden King took his leave.

Meanwhile Kovu had caught up with his sons who were talking with Vitani's daughter, Safara. "Are you ok Fraka?" Kovu asked, his green eyes filled with concern. "You had me worried the way you took off."
"I'm fine Dad don't worry about me," Fraka declared.
"He's lying Uncle Kovu," Safara declared. "I can always tell when something's wrong."
"Aw who asked you ya little runt," Fraka growled sipping his paw at the tan cub.
"Fraka don't be mean," Kovu scolded. "Your cousin is just concerned about you."
"And so am I," Tama piped up walking up to the group with Nafsi right behind her.
"You guys don't have to worry about me," Fraka declared angerly. "I already told you I'm fine. Sheesh. Lay off will ya?"
"What's going on?" Vitani asked having just come into the conversation. After seeing the looks on her brother and sister-in-law's faces she got the message. "Come on Safara bed time," the tan lioness delcared.
"But Mom.." Safara began.
"No but young lady now let's go," Vitani said sternly. "Bed time now."
"You too Nafsi," Tama said. "Go with Aunt Vitani. Daddy and I will be in there shortly."
"Ok Mommy," Nafsi said giving her mother a nuzzle. "Good night Mommy. Goodnight Daddy. I love you guys."
"I love you too sweetheart," Kovu said with a smile. "Sleep tight."
"'Night Chaka. 'Night Fraka," Nafisi said.
"'Night sis," the cubs said together. With that Vitani and the two cubs were gone. Kovu then turned his attention towards Fraka. "Now tell me what's going on. And don't say nothing because I know it's something. Now what is it? Does it have anything to do with Kolo?"
"Geeze you're not going to let up are you?" Fraka asked. "Ok I'll tell you. Yes it does have something to do with Kolo. I've seen him before.
"When?" Kovu asked.
"A long time ago when I was really little," Fraka explained. "And you're not going to like who he is."
"Who is he honey," Tama asked gently.
"He's my uncle," Fraka ansewered. "My father's brother."
