A/N:Thanks for the reviews and I can't wait to get to the reunion. But for now here's chapter ten, enjoy!
Jaali sat on a hill knoll with his father and grandmother on either side. His green eyes locked on the dancing colours of red, yellow and orange. He never seen fire before but he didn't know was that this wasn't going to be his last.
"It's time"
Kovu growled and gave his son a nuzzle before running down the hill. Jaali watched in amazement as his father danced around the flames. From up ahead the golden brown cub saw a dusty figure running with wide fearful eyes. Apparently the figure, which he made out as a lioness was running from the blazing flames behind. She stopped at a ledge before leaping, she almost didn't climbed to the top. But when she did she collapsed. Jaali watched how Kovu threw the lioness on his back. There Jaali realized who the lioness was. After watching his father and the princess disappear into the wall of thick grey smoke. Jaali looked up at the lioness beside him after feeling a nudge to the side.
"Come. We can now rest knowing that demon will soon be taken down"
Jaali nodded but deep down he misses his father. The cub knows that he had a job to do but he was a cub after all and this cub misses his father.

"Jaali come and sleep."
Jaali sat at the cave entrance looking at the little stars that could be seen through the blood red sky that was their home. Some tears started to fall as the ache in his small heart grew.
Asali sighed. "Jaali...you miss your father don't you?"
The golden brown cub nodded as tears still fell. The rusty golden lioness got up and sat by her son before pulling him in close. She licked the cub's head, messing up the tuff on his head before nuzzling his face.
"Jaali, I want you listen. Your father is not far away."
Jaali sobbed uncontrollably like the young cub he is. "I know but I miss him"
Asali sighed before singing softly, hoping that the song that her father tought her before he died would put her son to sleep.
"When the ones that you love feel so far away. Just close your eyes try to picture their face. Beneath the night sky you can see the same stars. Send your lullaby to wherever they are. When the One that you love feels so far away, no matter what it will be okayAll i have to do, when i'm feeling blue. Close my eyes and picture you"
The sound of small even breaths made the mother smile. But deep down, she be damn if she does this every night.

"We start at dawn"
Kiara don't know why but she was determined to see what this rogue has to survive. She also want to show him she is not helpless. With her head raised, the golden lioness pranced in the cave. Kovu chuckled darkly as he watched the princess disappear into the darkness of the cave that her idiot father forbid him from entering. He turned to face the peak with a evil smile on his muzzle.
"I look forward to it"
The brown lion looked up at the stars and thought about his son. Jaali must be going berserk right about now. But there wasn't much he could do. He has to kill Simba and the sooner the better. Curling up under the large rock outside the cave, he growled at the thought of that imbecile. Thinking about all the ways to kill Simba was the last thing he thought as he fell into a dream filled slumber.
