Thanks for all the reviews. Here's the next chapter of The King's Heir.
Kiara blinked her eyes open and found that she was in her grandmother's arms.
Uru woke up soon after to see Kiara looking around the cave."Morning Sweetie."
Kiara turned her head and seen Uru standing up."Morning Grandma."
Uru nuzzled and licked her grandcub's head before smiling. "How about a tour and you can tell grandma what happened?"
Kiara hesitated before following the old lioness.
...
"Ahadi, it's good to see you." said Tala smiling once she saw the old lion and her brother in-law.
"Tala, what's going on in my son's kingdom?"
Sorrin sighed and said, "Ahadi, it's not easy to say this but Mufasa's dead."
Ahadi's amber eyes widen as he growled, "Taka!"
Tala nodded with deep breath,"We believe so, we're going find out."
Ahadi looked at the queen with a raised eyebrow, "How are we going to do that?"
Before the creamy brown lioness could reply she heard the voice of Uru.
"Honey, what are you doing here?"
Ahadi walked over and nuzzled his long time mate and said, "I heard that the Pridelands are in danger and that Taka could be behind it."
Uru sighed said, "I don't believe it and you can't judge him until we get answers."
Tala nodded in agreement. "That leaves us to Kiara."
"Me!?" the princess gulped.
"Her, who's this?" Ahadi asked looking at the light beige cub.
As Ahadi have been away he didn't get word about Mufasa having a daughter.
Uru nuzzled the cub before moving her green eyes to her golden yellow mate, "Ahadi, this is our grandcub, Kiara."
Ahadi looked down at the cub and couldn't help but to smile. In both good and sad memories, his granddaughter reminded him of his deceased sister-in-law.
"Kiara, can you tell us what happened?" Tala asked as she sat down.
Kiara pinned her ears and lowered her head."I can, but you'll tell me to run away like Uncle Scar did."
The adults shared a look before looking back at the princess.
"Take it easy Kiara and tell us everything." Sorrin said sitting down as well.
Kiara took deep breath before saying, "It all started when my cousin Kovu woke me up saying that daddy had a surprise for me..."
...
The Pridelands' animals gathered at the base of priderock. Sarabi and Sarafina watched as Scar and Shetani take the throne. Tears fell as the dark beige lioness remembered when she and Mufasa was crowned king and queen.
Just as Scar and the dull yellow lioness roared Sarabi felt a sharp pain in her lower stomach.
"Sarabi!" Sarafina cried as she saw her friend slump to the ground.
"I-think the cub's coming!"
...
"Ahadi, are you alright?" Uru asked as she approached her mate.
Ahadi sighed and said, "I don't know what to be more angery with. The fact that he killed his own brother or that he blamed my innocent grandaughter for his crime!"
Uru nuzzled Ahadi and with a heavy sigh, "I believe the later is wrost."
"Grandpa, Grandma are you mad at me?"
Ahadi and Uru looked to see Kiara at their cave entrance. She had her head low and her ears against her skull. Tears falling from her amber eyes.
Ahadi and Uru pulled the light beige cub close and nuzzled her with purrs,"Of course not. It was accident, sweetie."
Kiara smiled as her grandparents nuzzled her. The adults figured out Scar's evil deed but decided to tell Kiara when she's older.
...
A loud roar echoed throughout the kingdom, making birds scathered.
"Push Sarabi!" Sarafina encourged.
Sarabi had tears in her eyes as she gave her all as she pushed.
"Congrats, Sarabi you have a heathy boy." smiled Rafiki as he handed the cub to the former queen. "I must go now, but you and your son are completely healthy." smiled Rafiki before heading toward his tree.
"Can we come in?" Simba asked as he and Nala stuck their heads in the cave.
Sarafina nodded with a small laugh before looking at her friend and new cub. Sarabi just got finished cleaning the cub, the cub is yellow with brown eyes and a small reddish tuff on his head.
"He's handsome, what are you going to name him?" Nala asked as she looked at the sleeping cub.
Sarabi smiled as she gazed lovingly at her pride and joy. "I feel now that pieces of my heart has been restored. I think I'll name Kion..after my father."
Sarafina and her cubs smiled as the dark cream lioness said, "A perfect name."
-O-
"Watch out!"
Kiara was sitting by a lake when she felt something run into her. Kiara rolled a few feet before pinning the force down. When Kiara's senses return she saw that a tannish cub was under her.
Kiara smiled sheepisly as she moved to the side."Sorry!"
The cub got up and shook it's fur from dirt before looking at Kiara."It's ok, I'm the one who ran into you anyway."
"Cisco!"
Kiara and the tannish cub turned to see a brownish tan cub come running over."Sheeran, don't be rude. Oh who am I kidding," the tannish cub looks from his friend to Kiara and said, "This is my good friend Sheeran and I'm Cisco."
Kiara smiled and said, "Pleased to meet you, I'm Kiara."
Cisco smiled and said, "We're about to watch the adults spar. Wanna come?"
Kiara nodded and followed the male cubs to the sparring field.
