A/N: Hey guys, sorry for not updating in so long! I have been so busy with homework and sports. And to be honestly I haven't had a lot of ideas, also I am adding another character to my story. See if you recognize him…*Ahem* *hint,hint*

So enjoy!

Chapter six: Vitani's New Friend

The sun came up and shown over the Outlands. Vitani was the first to wake up,she looked around bored, it had been two days since Zira had started her

plot against Simba. "What to do today?" she wondered

to herself as she stretched, "Mother won't mind if I'm gone for a

little while, Hell! She wouldn't even care if I left!" So the young cub headed off.

Vitani decided to go to the Elephant Graveyard to have some fun.

"I wonder why mother is so determined to overthrow Simba?"

Vitani thought as she went on her way. (Remember from chapter 1 that

she was only a cub at the time.) The cub continued walking until she got to the

elephant skull. "Whoa." Her older brother Nuka had told her about

this place but had never seen it. "This is so cool! I can't wait to….."

but she forgot her brother kovu was now in training with their mother.

And Nuka wouldn't want to be caught dead with her. She sighed, "I guess

I'm on my own." Vitani started to look around and started towards the skull

but before she had even taken two steps, she heard a rustling on

her right, she turned "Huh? I must be hearing things." she muttered and continued

the noise sounded again, and this time Vitani whipped her head around.

Normally, she was a brave cub for her age, but right now all her bravery seemed to

disappear as she said, "H-hello? W-who's there?" There was no answer,

she turned back around only to come face to face with another cub. He was

a male, about a year older than her, with golden fur, and a tuft of tan fur on top of his

head. "Who are you, outsider?" he had a menacing tone and had a look of unwelcoming.

Vitani backed away from him saying, "I-I'm so s-sorry, really I am! I had no idea, I didn't know

someone lived here." Vitani mentally thought if her brother had ever said about anyone

living here? Nope. "Who are you?" Vitani asked, "I asked you first." the male replied

he let down some of his guard and sat down and his tone no longer sounded menacing.

"I'm Vitani" she muttered looking down at the ground. "The name's Kopa." His voice

now contained a bit a smugness and when Vitani looked up, she saw that kopa was

smiling. "Look, I didn't mean to scare you, I just haven't seen another lion around for

about a year." Kopa studied her a little more closely, "You have pretty eyes." he

stated, Vitani looked away shy. "Are you ok?" Kopa said, continuing to stare at her.

"I'm fine, I was just got off guard that's all." "Well, if you're not an enemy to me, do

you want to play with me?" Kopa asked "Sure!" Vitani's brightened, pleased that she finally had someone to play with. "Come on, I'll show you around." And with that,

Kopa gave Vitani a tour. "So what's it like living out here?" Vitani wondered aloud

"It's not too bad, although it can get a bit lonely, Kopa said walking ahead "Hey! Come and

try this!" he stated. Vitani looked down the elephant spine and said, "Are you sure its safe?"

Kopa merely shrugged before going down the slope. Vitani, not wanting to look like a wuss in front of her new friend, went down. "That was fun!" she said, "Yep." Kopa agreed, there was a rustling noise sounding from a nearby pile of bones. "Uh… Kopa? What was that?" "I

don't know." He went slowly to the pile when something shot out and pinned him down.

"Well,well,well, it appears I have found you Kopa."

DUN DUN DUN! What will happen next? I thought it would be fun to do a cliffhanger. Like I said before, I am SO SORRY about not updating for a while. Well what did you think? PM me or review if you want Kopa in future chapters. Note he will not be a main character in this story, unless you want him to be in it enough.

Thanks!
