--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simba dug his claws into the earth frustrated, why was he in this mess? His lioness was leaving him, his pride was hiding things from him, his advisor was taking over. What was going on? Suddenly Simba felt ready to slip back into the self pity he had been in before Nala and Rafiki slapped some sense into him. The other lioness moved back, angry but understanding they had no other choice. Zira just sat there with a smug expression, Timone stuck his tongue out...
"Your boyfriend is gonna get beat, mister!" Timone shouted, Zira death glared him and Pumba moved him back, she snarled and Nala leap in front of the two growling back, theses were her lands just as much as they were Simbas and some old, lioness wasn't robbing that from her! Zira smirked and backed off as Kalap growled dangerously. Nala shuddered and hoped Simba knew what he was doing.
"Nothing personal...but you have two things here that belong to me." Kalap said quietly before leaping at Simba claws extended, Simba dodged and tackled Kalap bitting him as his uncle had done him. Kalap re acted by clawing Simba across the face, the pridelanders winced but stood their ground. Simba and Kalap continued to wrestle for control of the fight.
"Your mate is beautiful..." He whispered earning a warning growl from Simba, Zazu sighed watching the male lions circle each other, before Simba leap at Kalap, this time Kalap dodged, Simba leap again. And again Kalap dodged, just as Simba prepared to go in for a thyroid time Kalap let out a loud roar and lunged for his neck. Simba managed to turn but Nala winced when Kalaps powerful jaws clamped down on Simbas thick mane
"Please don't lose..." She thought watching Simba roar in pain before slapping Kalap off him, Sarabi and Sarafinas faces seem to echo the same thing. Kalap was on Simbas back now, attempting to pin the lion down but Simba flipped him off, when Kalap leap again Simba used the trick Nala had used on him to flip him. Kalap hit his head and seemed down in out for the count, just as Simba prepared to turn around he felt a sharp pain and collapsed.
Kalap had struck him and forcefully in the back of the head during the surprise attack. Without even waiting Kalap leap and had his claws to Simbas throat, he pinned him down and growled preparing to rip his throat out. Nala shook her head slowly and ran towards them before anyone could stop her
"NO! Please, don't!" She whimpered looking down at her exhausted mate
"Don't kill him..." She repeated softly her head bowed, she didn't want to look Kalap in the eye, to see the glint and smirk she knew would be there. Kalap made a sound directed towards her before he released Simba from his grasps, the young king stood up, blood pouring from the numerous cuts on his body. Nala walked over to him and edged closer in an attempt to clean his wounds, Kalap growled dangerously and cut her off just as Simba moved away from her. Nala bared her teeth at Kalap yet couldn't help but feel hurt at Simbas reaction, she had only been trying to help him.
"I'll spare your life because of your lovely mate, but get out of MY Pridelands..." Kalap hissed at Simba, the Pridelanders all growled but Sarabi just looked heart broken, Simba looked over at the new pride who only gave him cold unsympathetic stares. Kalap growled again and Simba began running. Nala shook her head in disbelief preparing to run after him when she was cut of by a circle of lioness and Kalap. No one noticed Timone and Pumba slipping away, Nala held back her tears as she watched Simba disappear.
"Looks like I was right, you did put too much faith in that little furball..." Kalap cooed at Nala as his pride let out a victorious roar, she glared at him and prepared to slap him when a snarl cut her off
"Strike him and die." Zira warned approaching her, the elder lioness bared her razor sharp fangs before Sarabi and Sarafina leap in front of Nala growling back. Before long both prides were prepared to attack one another until a loud roar cut them all off, Kalap glared angrily at them all.
"I will NOT have you all at each others throats! There is a new order now, MY order." He roared loudly, at once both prides settled down though the Pridelands still stood slightly prepared to attack. Kalap growled again before he examined Nala
"Look at you, still as pretty as the day I saw you last." He purred, Nala felt a shiver run down her spine, though she felt half dazed. This couldn't be happening again! It wasn't fair, how could this be happening again, she just got Simba back and now they were being ripped apart again.
"Curse you..." She growled at Kalap dangerously, he smirked and Nala felt the over whelming urge to slap him across the muzzle and scar his ugly face! The night he left her at Scars mercy, left her begging and screaming for help.
"Arrogant bastard..." She thought with a snarl, Zira growled lowly and she lowered herself as well before Zazu landed on her shoulder and cleared his throat. All to soon Nala remembered her current problem, her cub!
"...What will I do?" Zazu seemed to read her mind because he gave her a look that was both worried and sympathetic, she attempted to smile reassuringly at him before she felt her legs grow weak, instantly Sarabi and Sarafina were holding her up.
"Nala are you all right?" Her mother asked visibly concerned for her only child, she watched Zira out of the corner of her eye, she HOPED that lioness came after her daughter so she could draw blood. One false move was all it took and Sarafina would be on Zira like flies on a fresh carcass.
"Yes, mom I'm fine sorry, just a bit...hot." She said dizzily, Kalap cast her an almost annoyed glance before a cry caught their attention, Nalas heart skipped a beat.
"Kopa!" She thought horrified. Simba had to keep running, he to run from the disappointment, the shame. He failed her, he lost his home again, again he was being chased away. He bit back the urge to weep bitterly at the irony of things, Nala was supposed to leave him and yet he was leaving her. Shouting made him pick up his speed when he realized the shouts were him to stop! He skidded clumsily to a halt and panted heavily as he watched his two loyal companions run up to him, Pumba collapsed on the ground as Timone jumps off
"Simba, buddy, what happened!?" Timone asked horrified, Simba gave him a sad expression and instantly Timone felt bad for showing his obvious shock and slight disappointment.
"He's strong, really strong. I thought the fight was over, I turned my back on him...I lost, lost my home. My pride....and my Na..." He stopped, she wasn't his anymore anyways was she? No, she belonged to Kalap now and from the looks of it, they had more history together then she apparently wanted Simba to know. That thought alone made him bitter, he had been her best friend had he not? He had been her first love... or so he thought...
"It doesn't matter, she'll be better off with someone to protect her..." Simba said before sitting down and bowing his head slightly
"You guys should go home though and make sure she stays safe." He said to Pumba and Timone who only looked at each other then back at the cub they had raised.
"No way buddy, your mom and everyone else is there. Besides she's a tough gal, she would want us to stay with you." Timone said hopping on Simbas paw, Pumba only nodded and sat by him. Simba couldn't help but be touched by his friends loyalty
"Thanks you guys." He said sincerely before looking over his shoulder at the distant rock he used to call his home, wistfully he blinked before he began walking again, the clouds were rolling in and it would start raining soon.
"Be happy Nala...I still love you." He thought sadly before picking up speed as thunder rumbled. Nala jumped when she heard the thunder in a distance and another cry, she turned to run towards pride rock when she saw the sandy cub headed for her, everyone gasped as Nala embraced the cub and he her.
"Well, what have we here..." Zira sneered before Nala roared at her furiously, the lioness actually took a step back as she saw Nalas fangs before Kalap looked at the cub with interest
"Mom I heard all those noises and then the loud sounds from the sky!" Kopa said clinging to his mothers fur, she rubbed his back with her paw before he noticed his father was nowhere to be seen. Not to mention there was a whole other pride here, Kopa blinked
"Where's dad, who are these people? Wha....what's going on!" He demanded, Kalap chuckled softly before reaching for the cub, Sarabi gave him a warning growl and Sarafina just stared coldly, daring him to make a move towards her adopted grandson.
"I don't have a right to inspect what's rightfully mine?" He asked, they all looked at him confused and he chuckled at their expressions.
"That's my son..." He said simply,
A/N.....dun, dun dun? Did any of you see that coming? Be honest, anyways sorry about the long wait, it's the 26th and my new baby niece is supposed to be born today. So I'm a tad jumpy and frantic today, anyways I'll start working on new chapters right away. Happy Reading Princess Starfire!
