AN: Random- You most likely remember Sherise from one of my other stories and I have friends who used Sherise. We like the name and tend to use it a lot. I'm glad you like this story. Have you read the first book to Wrecking Ball? And thank you for the review!

CSIMentalistTLK lover- Yeah I feel bad for Kogan too and as for Kovu, I let you figure it out.

Tama and her followers had made it to the Outlands.

"Home sweet home" growled Nuka as he walked over to Tama

Tama dropped Vitani and sneered "For now"

"So what's the plan?"

Tama looked at her brother and snarled, "We send a watcher to get the scope on our cousins"

Nuka nodded before roaring, "Esme!"

Chiika walked over to her mate with fear in her green eyes, "Nuka...she went away"

Tama growled, "Why!"

"She...she went into labor"

Tama snorted before turning to Nuka, "Find her when she gets back. I'm going to rest! I have revenge to plan"

With that Tama stalked into one of the termite mounds. Just as Tama left Kovu walked over.

"Dad, did I do good?"

Nuka looked at his son and smiled, "Very well my son. I'm sure you made your grandfather proud"

Kovu beamed with pride as he smiled.

"Thanks dad, I thought I was going to fail when Sarabi followed"

Nuka was looking else where but turned back to Kovu at his comment.

"They most likely don't expect a thing from you. Since you're a cub and all. How foolish they are!"

Kovu smirked "Yeah those stupid Pridelanders!"

With that the two laughed under the Outlands blood red sky.

"Kogan come play" said Kula cheerfully

Its been over five weeks since the death of Kopa. Since then Kogan has followed into his mother's pawprints, which left Sherise in distress. She became shadow and stressed that she had to watch her son become the lifeless numb she was when she was a cub. Kogan's eyes have even dulled, as his eyes were rich and full of life. Now his eyes are infertile and dead.

"No" was the prince's answer with no emotion

Sherise watched from the shadow at the hurt looked from her cousin. Kula ran down the rocky stairs with tears in her eyes. Kogan stalked in the nursery and stayed there.

"What have they done?!"

Sherise looked and saw Kendall. Sherise lean over and cried on Kendall's dark red mane.

"I don't know what do! He so shadow and broken"

Kendall nuzzled the weeping queen, "It'll be alright. It'll turn out alright, just you see"

Then he looked to the sunsetting sky and closed his eye to stop the tears, I hope.

-X-

"Asher"

The light golden beige cub jumped out and pounced on the light yellow golden lioness.

"Ha!"

The two rolled before they stopped and started to laugh.

"Your pouncing is improving" smiled Kayla

Asher beamed as he got up and walked over to a lake and took a dew licks before looking back at the teen.

"Will I ever remember"

Kayla walked over and sat, "I'm not sure. But my mom said that because you're real young it'll come back"

Asher looked down, "Oh...um Kayla?"

"Hmm."

"Have you...um met your dad before?"

Kayla looked at the cub and sighed, "No. My mom said he's a prince but he's niece and nephew are ruling"

"Would you want to meet him?"

Kayla smiled lightly, "Yeah one day"

Asher smiled before a yawn escaped his mouth.

"It looks like its bed time for you" chuckled Kayla

Asher just laid on his stomach before being picked up by the nape by Kayla and headed for the cave.
