Ch 11 Backfire

The next day when the sun was highest in the sky Mshindi and Shida approached Kovu, "It's time to go," Shida declared. "Are you ready for this?" Shida looked at Kovu her brown eyes filled with concern.

"Yeah I'm ready," Kovu said, letting out his breath. "Let's just get in over with." With that the trio left heading for the spot where they knew Guama would be waiting for them. As they were walking Kovu couldn't help but feel ill-at-ease. "Are you guys sure this will work?" the brown lion asked, looking at Mshindi when he said this.

"Will you relax Kovu," Mshindi said, rolling his grey eyes. "Everything is going to be fine. Trust me. Bosi dosen't suspect a thing. He'll never guess that his ambush on you will in fact turn out to be an ambush on him. Kali has everyhting all planned out. You gotta have some faith in the kid."

"I do have faith in Kali," Kovu said, his voice rising slightly. "And who the Hell are you to tell me how I feel? You don't even know me." Kovu's voice had become a growl by now and he turned to Mshindi, his green eyes blazing and his teeth bared.

"Whoa there relax Kovu," Mshindi said taking a step backwards. "I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sorry ok. Just relax."

"I'm sorry," Kovu said, his voice much calmer now. "I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm just on edge that's all."

"No problem," Mshindi said, smiling at the other lion. "I guess we're all a little on edge. I just..." Suddenly the trio heard laughter coming from all around them. "Whose there?" Mshindi called out, his grey eyes scanning the area.

"What's going on Mshindi?" Kovu asked.

"I'm not sure," the dusty brown lion relpied. "I could have sworn..." Mshindi was interrupted by a low voice saying, "Well, well, well what do we have here boys?" Mshindi turne around and to his horror he saw Bosi staning there Ndogo and Giza at his side. "Oh no," Mshindi whispered.

"What the Hell is this?" Kovu growled, looking at Mshindi. "Bosi you've got your nerve showing your murderous face here. You'd better go before there's trouble."

"Oh there's going to be trouble all right," Bosi hissed, his green eyes glowing. "But it's you that's going to get it Kovu." He laughed evily and turned to Ndogo and Giza, "Get him boys!" With that Ndogo and Giza advanced on Kovu, who lowered himself into a fighting stance. Ndogo and Giza lunged at Kovu their claws extended and their teeth bared. Kovu swiped at the two lions but he only managed to make contact with Giza who flew off to the side. This left an opening for Ndogo, who landed on Kovu's back sinking his teeth deep within his flesh. Kovu let out a roar of pain and caught Ndogo by his scruff and sent him flying. Giza had recovered by now and while Kouv was fighting Ndogo the black lion lunged at Kovu swipping his side and underbelly causing the dark maned lion to fall to the ground, gasping in pain.

"What the Hell is this Bosi?" Mshindi asked, looking at the grey lion. "Why the change in plans?"

"Because I knew you two couldn't be trusted," Bosi snapped. "Did you really think I was foolish enough to actuall believe you when you said you were on my side. I knew that was crap. So I cooked up this little scheme. And you two idiots fell for it."

"Damn you Bosi," Shida hissed. "Well you won't get away with this. Come Mshindi we've got to help Kovu."

"Oh no you don't," Bosi growled, taking a step towards Shida. He was blocked by Mshindi, who lept at the grey lion knocking him to the ground. "Shida go get Kali and the others," Mshindi ordered. "We need help." With that the tan lioness ran off in the direction where Kali and the others were waiting.

TLKTLKTLK

Shida ran as fast as she could until she found the spot where Kali and the others were waiting. Kali looked up at Shida and said, "Shida what's wrong? Where are Mshindi and Kovu?"

"Bosi figured out that Mshindi and I were playing double agent," Shida panted. "He and Ndogo and Giza ambushed us. They attacked Kovu. Mshindi was trying to help but he wasn't doing so well. I ran as fast as I could to get help."

"Oh my God Kovu," Jasiri gasped. "Kali we have to help him!"

"Take me to where they are," Kali demanded. Shida nodded and ran in the direction where the fight was with Kali, Jasiri, Nala and the rest of the lionesses right behind him.

TLKTLKTLK

Mshindi and Bosi were fighting but Bosi was better built that Mshindi so he was getting the upper hand. Bosi threw Mshindi off of him sending the dusty brown lion sprawling to the ground. Bosi lept at his former friend but Mshindi was ready for him and while still laying on his back his kicked Bosi as hard ar he could sending his crashing into Giza and Ndogo. All three lions went crashing to the ground. This gave Kovu a chance to get to his feet. Mshindi ran over to help his friend up and both lions turned to run. Kovu, however was badly hurt and when he tried to take a step he promptly fell to the ground. "Mshindi go get out of here," Kovu wheezed. "Save yourself. Go now."

"No way man," Mshindi relpied going to Kovu's side and helping him up. "It's either we both get out or we both go down. I won't leave you. You have a wife and son and a new baby on the way. I won't let you die." He turned his head and saw Bosi, Ndogo, and Giza blocking his way all three of them growling. "Time to end this Mshindi," Giza growled. "But don't worry. It's only a matter of time before both of you guys' mates will be joining you." With that Giza let out an evil laugh and the three lions advanced on the two injured ones. Kovu closed his eyes and thought, "So this is how it ends. I'm sorry sorry Tama and Chaka. I let you both down." Kovu opened his eyes again when he heard growling and the sounds of a fight. To his surprise Kovu saw Kali come flying in from nowhere and pounce on Bosi while Jasiri took Ndogo and Shida and Nala pounced on Giza. "Oh thank the Kings," Kovu heard Mshindi whisper. Kovu's vision had begun to go in and out by now and he knew he was on the verge of passing out. "Mshindi I don't feel so good," he muttered. "I don't..." Kovu's eyes rolled back into his head and he fell to the ground. "Kouv!" Mshindi cried, causing the others to look over at him. Bosi took the opportunity to deliver a blow to Kali's face, which opened up the scars on his face. Bosi then kicked the younger lion off of him sending him flying into Jasiri who had Ndogo pinned. Giza had managed to fend off Nala and Shida and he and Ndogo wenty over to Bosi who said, "Come the final battle will have to wait. We've done our part for the day." With that they grey lion retreated with Ndogo and Giza following suit. Kali got up off the ground and truned to help his mate to her feet. "Are you ok 'Siri?" the King asked, looking at his Queen, who gave him a smile in return, "I'm fine Kali," she replied, giving her mate a nuzzle. The Queen then looked over at Shida who was helping Nala to her feet. Kali ran over to the former Queen and said, with concern in his voice, "Are you oh Mom? You took quite a hit."

"I'm fine sweetheart," Nala replied. "Although I must admit that I'm not a young as I used to be." She streatched out her back letting out a small groan as she did so. "How's Kouv?" Nala asked, looking over at her former son-in-law who was still on the ground.

"Oh God Kovu," Kali cried running over to his friend and mentor. "Mshindi will you help me carry him back. He needs to be seen by Rafiki now."

"Sure thing Buddy," Mshindi replied, getting under Kovu's lower half while Kali and Jasiri went under his upper half. Together the three lions carried Kovu back to Priderock hoping they wouldn't be too late.

TLKTLKTLK

When they returned to Priderock Kali and Mshindi gently palced Kovu on the groun of the cave whild Jasiri sent Zazu to get Rafiki. "Man it seems like every week we need him for soemthing," Kali muttered. Just then he heard a voice say, "My God Kovu! What happened?" Kali turned and saw Tama standing there, her brown eyes wide in shock. "Bosi that's what happened," Kali growled. He then explained to his mother-in-law what had happened. Tama's eyes filled with tears as she listened. The rusty brown lioness layed down beside her mate, nuzzling his black mane gently. At that moment Rafiki entered the cave. "Mom," Jasiri said gently. "Mom Rafiki needs to examine Kovu we have to go outside to wait." After a moment Tama got up and followed her daughter and Kali out of the cave while Rafiki examied Kovu. When they exited they cave Tama turned to her daughter and said, "Oh Jasiri if I lose him I don't know what I'll do." Tama had begun to sob at this point. Jasiri went over to her mother and gently nuzzled her, "Mom Kovu will be fine. You have to calm down all this stress isn't good for the baby."

"You're right honey," Tama sniffled. "I just love him so much. I already lost one mate when your father died. I don't think I can take losing another one." At that moment Vitani came on the scene with Chaka right behind her. "Hey Mom Aunt Vitani just showed me some really cool things," Chaka said running up to his mother, his green eyes wide with excitment.

"That's great honey," Tama said, with a sniffle.

"What's wrong Mom?" Chaka asked, his smile fading.

"Honey you're father was in an accident," Tama explained.

"What happened?" Vitani exclaimed, her blue eyes wide with shock.

"Bosi that's what," Jasiri growled. "Kovu could die and it's all because of him."

"Dad could die?" Chaka said, his eyes filling with tears.

"Don't worry Chaka I'm sure your father will be alright," Vitani said, pulling her nephew close to her to confort him. Just then Rafiki came out of the cave looking tired. "Oh I am getting to old fer des," the old monkey muttered to himself. He then turned to Tama and the others, who were all looking at him waiting for the mandrill to inform them about Kovu's condition. "Rafiki is Kovu going to be alright?" Tama asked, trying to keep it together.

"I just finished examining him," Rafiki said. "I my conclusion is dat de young Kovu will..."
