A/N: Regis Rogers I asked you this already but to the other readers I have a question. How do you feel about girlxgirl stories? So now let's get to chapter 7, enjoy!

A couple of weeks past and Kiara was up and running around like nothing happened. But danger was still lurking around and was ready to strike. In a clearing, hid behind tall blazes of grass was Nala with Kopa by her side.

"Why did we have to come out here?"

"Because Kopa...Kula said she has a surprise for Kiara and wants you to bring her to the gorge"

Kopa raised an eye brow, "But aren't you and miss Kula not friends?"

Nala snapped her son, her patience running dry. "That's not the point!"

Kopa shrunk back, afraid of his mother.

"Now, go get Kiara and bring her to the gorge! Then go home!"

Kopa scamper off without hesitant. Nala snarled before turning to walk to the were her followers were.

-X-

"Now, stalk slowly and don't make a sound?"

Kiara nodded at her grandfather's instruction before doing it.

"She'll make a fine hunter" whispered Mufasa who was on the left side of Safi

Kiara stalked closer to her prey, a brown cub who was flirting with Solange. With a battle cried, the pale golden cub pounced. The two siblings rolled till Kovu found himself on his back.

"Ha! I pinned ya"

Kovu was frozen but was knocked out of his state when laughter reached his ears. Kovu looked to see his grandfathers laughing. Kiara smiled before running over to Safi and nuzzled his legs.

"Grandpa, I'm thristy. Can I go to the watering hole?"

Safi nuzzled his granddaughter, "Go ahead and come back to Pride Rock when you're done"

Kiara nodded and ran off towards the watering hole. As Mufasa and Safi headed for Pride Rock with the cubs. When Kiara got to the watering hole, Kopa was there breathing like he just ran a five mile marker. Which he did.

"Kopa..."

"Kiara...there's a surprise at the gorge...your mom.."

Kopa didn't finished as Kiara ran towards the gorge. Kopa sighed before heading towards Pride Rock. But a cold breeze flew around him and made the prince stop. But what made his eyes go wide was a warm, inviting, motherly voice.

"Go after her"

-X-

Kiara made it the gorge but her mother wasn't there. The sound of grass rusting made the cub shot up and her ears perked.

"Kopa...mom? Is that you?"

Nothing but nearby prey animals. Just then a large cream colored paw come out of the grass and met the pale cub's face sending her a few feet away. Kiara looked up with blood dripping from her mouth and gasped.

"Queen Nala?"

Nala growled and swiped at Kiara again and sending her another few feet. Kiara tried to stand but to only fall back down.

"Why are you doing this?"

"So you will never be queen!"

Nala hit Kiaraa again, this time to the edge of a cliff.

"So long"

With one mighty swipe, Nala send Kiara over the cliff and into the raging river below. Satisfied Nala headed home not knowing that a pair of reddish brown eyes seen everything she did.
