8 hours later
The sun broke through the clouds, ending the Africa night. Animals started to waken to start a new day.
Yet no one knew about the King and Queen, who lay in a loving embrace in a hidden den at the back of Pride Rock.
…..
Simba awoke to a soft humming, he opened his eyes to see the cave roof staring down at him. The King slowly lifted his head up and looked down to see his Queen lying with her head on his chest humming to herself.
"Moring Nal", spoke Simba with a weak smile.
Nala looked up lovingly at her mate, "Good morning love, Sleep well", she whispered.
Simba smiled up at her, "Slept like a log", he smirked tiredly.
Nala rubbed her muzzle against Simba's.
….
One hour later
"WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN?" shouted an angry Sarafina.
"Its ok Sarafina, We've just been for a walk", explained Simba.
The couple have just arrived outside at the main den, only to be met by a very annoyed and angry Sarafina. A few members of the pride hung around to see what happens.
Sarafina's eyes narrowed, "A walk that lasted all night", she resorted.
Giggles erupted from the Lionesses nearby. Simba and Nala blushed with embracement.
"Err yeah…." Mumbled Sarafina's son in-law.
Nala inhaled nosily, "Sorry mother we forgot to tell you we were out", why should she and Simba tell everyone when they go out, they are not cubs anymore. There's no privacy in this pride.
Sarafina snarled and stormed off into the main den. Simba let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, then nuzzled Nala good bye, before he went off to perform his kingly duties.
...
As Simba strolled through his kingdom, he head a fait flutter of winds.
"Good morning Zazu", spoke Simba, with a small smile.
"Good morning sire", greeted Zazu. He landed lightly on the kings right shoulder, "Checking in with the morning report".
"ROARRRR".
"What was that?", asked Simba with a frown.
"ROARRRR".
Simba's amber eyes widened. This means a male wants to challenge him.
Simba glanced at Zazu and then ran off towards the borders.
Simba felt the morning wind rip through his mane as he ran. In the distance he could see a male and a female the male supported a dark red mane and light fur, with a light under belly, muzzle and paws. (similar to Mufasa's and Kion's) his eyes were Lime green. The female was more of a grey furred with slightly paler under belly, muzzle and paws. She also had a set of beautiful orange eyes.
"What do you want rogues", Simba snarled.
"Don't talk to your brother like that Simba", came a voice.
Simba turned around to see his mother Sarabi stood behind him, staring at him with a frown.
"Mother…." Simba felt a lump forming in his throat.
"Sorry Simba I thought your older brother was dead years ago", Sarabi said while walking passed Simba and stopped in front of the male rouge, "Kuvutia, is it realy you?", Sarabi asked.
"Hey mom sorry it's been a long time" replied Kuvutia with a smirk.
"Where were you? Why didn't you come back?" asked Sarabi.
"Sorry I lost my memory, I think I remembered waking up on a river bank and Nzuri's pride found me" Kuvutia murmured.
A smile started to form on Sarabi's face "Doesn't matter son your home", She walked over and nuzzled her eldest son.
Simba swallowed while watching in shock horror, why didn't she tell me any of this, he has now talked Kiara and Kion how to run the Pride Lands and how the lion guard works for nothing…. What is going on?
Simba looked behind to see Nala looking at him puzzled, Simba just shrugged his shoulders, then turned around to look back to his mother and his apposed brother.
"May I ask what's going on?" Simba asked.
"YOU AREADY KNOW WHATS GOING ON SIMBA STOP BEEING RUDE!" Screamed Sarabi.
Another lump formed in Simba's throat, "oh, ok", he croaked.
"Kuvutia you can stay as long as you want" Sarabi's eyes landed on Nzuri, " and your name my sweet" she asked the orange eyed lionesses.
"My name is Nzuri my lady". Nzuri replied looking uncertain.
"You don't have to be so formal your part of the family dear" said Sarabi, her eyes shinning.
Sarabi, Kuvutia and Nzuri walked passed the shocked Simba and Nala back to pride rock.
