Author's Note: Ohhh...A new chapter! Please feel free to review. :D

Sefu circled around Kovu, ready to attack, "who says I'm letting you live?"

Kovu gulped, he was very much alive and he licked his wounds well enough to almost stop the bleeding, but he was still too weak to fight. "We don't have to fight."

Sefu snorted, "who said 'fight'? I'm not fighting...I'm hunting dinner."

He leaned back, ready to kill Kovu when Amne tackled him.

Pinning down Sefu, Amne growled, "leave."

"Amne. Let go of me! I-"

"LEAVE! If you don't leave now..." She glared at him intently, silently threatening to kill him.

Sefu could of, with one smooth swipe, kill Amne; but decided against it. I will let her have her way...For now. "Fine. I'm leaving." He mumbled, then did a sly smile, "sleep well cupcake."

Kovu growled in jealousy, but Sefu pretended not to notice.

Sefu wiggled out of Amne's grip and ran off, to Zira. He had a new plan to tell her, an easier plan.

Amne raced to Kovu's side, "are you okay?"

Kovu laid in the dirt, his body was stiff, but his wounds weren't bleeding anymore. "Mhm." He muttered.

Amne collapsed next to him, tears rimmed her eyes. "I'm so sorry."

"For what, this? I had worst scratches then this."

Amne looked at him wide-eyed, worst? she thought in horror.

Kovu saw the shock in her eyes, and continued to lie, "of course. I can't think of any right now but..."

Amne stood up, "I am going to go get help."

Kovu stood as well, "no. It's okay Amne. I'm fine..." He looked up to see the moon shining in the sky. "It's pretty late Amne, come on, let's get some sleep."

Kovu laid back down, he nodded to the empty spot besides him.

Amne shook her head but laid next to him. She turned, facing away from him and drifted off to sleep.

"Night." He whispered, before drifting off to sleep.

Kovu's eyes opened slowly, his vision cleared to see his arm around Amne and her face so close, there nose were almost touching. He smiled, staring at Amne sleeping.

He leaned to her face and licked her cheek.

Amne's face lightened into a smile, Kovu silently chuckled to himself, until he saw Amne's eyes open.

"I felt that."

Kovu quickly took his arm off of her, "felt what?"

"You licked my cheek."

"Oh, that...Well I mean I was just. I mean, it's your fault, you were so close to me...I didn't mean it-"

"Oh yeah, blame me. And I suppose the wind blew your arm over me?"

Kovu let out a nervous laugh, "yeah."

Amne laughed and sat on the dirt, "how are you feeling?"

Kovu stretched a little, then nuzzling her "I'm okay. A little sore."

Amne pulled back, "you know Kovu...I think your forgetting something."

"Wha-"

"-I'm not Kiara." Amne walked slowly to the lake, and got a sip of water.

Kovu followed her, "I never said you were..."

Amne's gaze stayed fixed to the water as she spoke, "well I'm sure she wouldn't be happy if she found out you nuzzled me and..." She lifted her eyes to see the sun shining brightly, and continued, "licked my cheek, two times."

Kovu couldn't help it, "two? I think you mean three..."

Before Amne could reply, Kovu licked her left cheek and smirked, "told you...It's three."

Amne narrowed her eyes, she decided the more she showed Kovu how much his affection bothered her, the more affection he showed. Amne smiled slyly, she had a little plan, if she showed affection to Kovu then he would be so shocked he wouldn't want to show her anymore affection.

Amne nuzzled Kovu, "you're so weird."

Kovu's head shot back, "you nuzzled me? But...Wha-what about Kiara?"

It's working. She smirked and tilted her head, "Kiara?" She questioned, trying her best to look innocent.

A grin spread across Kovu's face, "finally," he laughed and scanned his surroundings, "so you wanna grab a cave and-"

"KOVU!" She screamed in shock, and slapped his paw.

Kovu's smile just got bigger, "I'm kidding! It seems your reverse psychology plan backfired, huh?"

Amne giggled, smart kitty, she thought.

She nuzzled him again and purred softly, "did it Kovu? Did it really backfire?"

Kovu looked at her wide-eyed, his smile turned into a toothy grin.

Before Kovu could say anything, Amne laughed again and ran.

"Amne wait!" He tried to chase after her, his body ached but he gained speed.

When Kovu caught up to Amne, he continued, "But Amne...I'm serious, if you want we can grab a cave and-"

"KO-VU!" She rolled her eyes, "stop it!"

Kovu continued to tease her, "Kiara doesn't have to know..."

Amne slapped his paw again, "you're so stupid."

"Upgraded from weird to stupid? Awesome! I feel so very proud."

Amne giggled, as they walked back to the Pridelands. She knew Kovu was kidding about the cave but she still felt as though it wasn't...Right.
