Alright I'm back on a laptop, but school has now started so... yeah.

I don't own Lion King and all that jazz. Only Muuaji and his cubs.

"Go on Kiara, get in." Sarafina said sternly pointing to the river.

Kiara obliged soaking herself, then emerging refreshed.

Sarafina looked at her granddaughter with sad eyes, "You're so strong for everything that's happened to you… Stronger than I could ever be." She said weeping. "It's my fault, what happened to you. I… I'm so sorry…" Sarafina hung her head in shame.

"Grandma what do you mean?"

Still sniffling said, "Alright… I'll tell you of my foolishness and how happy memories tainted my view of the present."

There was a fire raging.

On the side of Pride Rock three hyenas approached a newly de-crowned king cowing on the rock's face.

The hyenas had leaped in for the kill before they heard a voice.

"Enough!" A lioness called to them.

"Hey due you think we're just gonna listen to a…" Banzai started before Shenzai covered his mouth.

"Alight." She said with a smile. "Do whatever you want with the traitor." She walked away with the two males close behind.

Scar looked to the lioness who had spared him.

"Sarafina I…"

"SAVE IT!" She glared at him. "Come on."

Scar followed her taking in the surrounding scenery of what had come to be known as the Shadow Lands.

As they stopped. "Fina… I would ask for you to make it quick, but that is more than I deserve. I hurt a great many, but I hurt you more than most. I'm sorry."

Scar saw her come closer to him. He closed his eyes expecting to be hit with a killing blow, but found something else entirely. A lioness's muzzle pressed up against his.

He backed away from Sarafina. "Just… go." Sarafina said turning away from him.

As he started running away rain began to fall on them washing away Scar's scent from her as well as his tracks. Leaving no trace of him whatsoever.

They both remained silent for few moments.

"Why… after everything he did? Why?" Kiara asked her grandmother.

"Before Scar took the name Scar, and even a little after that. We loved each other."

Kiara looked at her dumbfounded.

"Or at least I loved him. We… we had a cub together. We named him Mheetu."

"Wha…" Kiara tried to ask.

"When he was born everything seemed desited not to tell anyone who the father was, but despite that both me and Scar were happy. At that point I don't think he cared about power, just Mheetu. He even took an interest in Nala always comforting your mother when I couldn't."

Kiara was still curios, but decided not to try asking again.

"Everything was perfect until… Mheetu got sick." Sarafina started chocking up. "He died not long after, and Scar changed for the worse."

Sarafina was visibly weeping. "Despite all he did I never stopped loving him…"

"So you saved him." Sarafina nodded.

"Grandma it's alright now. It's over and I'm back to stay." She said embracing her grandmother.

"But what will tell the pride?"

"I'll tell Kovu and Vitanni, but no one else"

"If that is what you please." Sarafina smiled. "Speaking of which…" Sarafina looked up to see dawn starting to break. "I believe Kovu should be on his patrol."

Kovu went on walking his typical patrol route. He hated it, everything still reminded him of Kiara. He never complained thought. He knew Kiara would want him to stay strong for her.

"KOVU!" He whirled around to see Sarafina heading towards him.

"Hi, Sarafina. What brings you out so early?" He asked before noticing the tears stains below her eyes. "Sarafina, what's wrong…"

"I found something, or should I say someone…"

Kovu was confused until he smelled a familer scent.

No, it's just my nose playing trick on me.

Then he saw her.

"Hi, Kovu." She said with a faint smile.

"Kiara?" She nodded.

They both rushed to embrace each other.

As they did Kovu held tight not wanting to ever let her go again. "I thought I lost you forever."

She looked dead into his teyes. "You didn't, and you won't ever again."

"I love you." He said tears overflowing.

"I love you too, Kovu." She repeated to the same effect.

One of my shortest chapters, but it had a lot of information it. What do you all want see next Scar and Muuaji, the former Lion Guard, or Kiara and dealing with being back home.

Guest: Thank you it mans a lot.

All Hail King Scar: Yeah, none of them realized the implications of the heir to the Pridelands have two cubs. Scar of all lions should know how the roar develops.

Thank you all for reviewing. Hopefully the next chapter will be longer. Also fixed some of the problems in the last chapter.
