~TLK:II~

A dark brown teen lion with a growing darker brown mane flew through the air and landed with a loud THUD.

"Ugh...Nuka! Do you have to hit so hard" groaned The dark brown teen

An older sickly brown lion laughed and said "What the chosen one can't take a little hit"

Kovu rolled his eyes but stud straight when he saw his mother coming.

"Very good Nuka, you are dismissed"

Nuka smiled a fool smiled and bowed his head before walking off. Zira then turned on Kovu and with a sharp hit of her paw sent the young lion soaring though the air, again.

"You pathetic excuse" growled Zira

Kovu got up slowly as Zira circled the fallen teen and said "Kovu my son, you will try harder or you will sorry"

With that said Zira walked away leaving Kovu to clean out his minor wounds. At that time Princess Kiara and her gang was making there way to the out lands.

"I wouldn't go in there"

The cubs turned to see Bella and Soren's older brother.

Soren chuckled nervously and said "Afua, what are you doing here?"

Afua rolled his eyes and said "You better be glad it was me that over heard your trip to the Outlands than one of the adults"

Bella looked up and said "You wouldn't tell would you, Afua?"

Afua looked at the cubs and said "As long as you five head home right now!"

The cubs groaned, but head home without any protest. Kopa sat at the base of Pride Rock with an unpleased face. When he saw the five cubs approaching, he got up and walked over.

"Kiara, Mheetu followed me"

The young prince and princess looked at each other and followed their brother after saying goodnight to Afua and their friends. Mheetu and Kiara followed Kopa to the very field where their mother took Kopa when he was their age.

Kopa sat and looked to the stars.

"I'm not gonna tell mom and dad"

The princess and prince's ears perked a little and Kiara said "Your not?"

Kopa shook his head and said at the cubs eye level, "I once wen to the Outlands too"

Kiara and Mheetu's eyes widen as they asked "What happened?"

A smiled formed on the eldest prince muzzle as he thought about Kovu. The when he remember Kovu's smirk he felt a warm cozy feeling from deep within.

"Young master"

Kopa snapped out of his trance and looked up to see a blue hornbill.

"Yes Zazu"

Zazu landed and said "The sire wish for you and your siblings to come in"

Kopa took a deep breath and said "Take them home and tell my father, I went to consul with the stars"

Zazu bowed and said "Very well, young master" then he turned to Mheetu and Kiara and said "Come on then"

The prince and princess nuzzled Kopa. Before following Zazu home. Kopa sighed and began to walk off. Once he got to a hill top, he sat and looked to the stars.

"What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling this way?"

Kopa looked down to the dark speck that was the Outlands.

"I only met him twice, so why am I feeling this way?"

The teen prince thought back on how they met to the elephant gave yard when another smile form on his muzzle. That when it hit the PrideLand Prince.

"Oh kings! I think I'm in love"

In the Outlands Kovu just pinned Nuka down and put his right paw to his throat with his claws out.

"Now who's weak?" Kovu playfully growled in Nuka's face

Nuka groan and shoved Kovu off as Zira walked over.

"Much better, now you are dismissed"

Kovu bowed his head before walking off to a dirt mound. Kovu sat and sighed. As the Outlander Prince looked out over the river and into the Pridelands he couldn't help the smiled that tugged at his maw.

"Thinking about those Pridelanders?"

Kovu looked and saw a teen Asante. Over the months since their first Incounter in the graveyard they been hanging out and is the best of friends. Kovu knows Asante's secret and Asante is about to know his.

Kovu sighed and said "One in perticualir"

Asante smirked and said "Does the prince has anything to do with this?"

Kovu snapped out of his daydream and looked at the hyena.

The Outland Prince sighed and said "Its crazy, I only met him twice"

Asante smiled and nudged her friend and said "Love is a crazy thing-"

Before Asante could finish Kovu face pawed himself and growled "Love! What's love when a lion loves another male!"

Asante nuzzled Kovu friendly and said "That's why love comes in all kind of ways"

Kovu sighed and looked to the stars. Asante sighed too and nudged Kovu lightly before walking off. Kovu took a deep breath before singing solfly,

Somewhere out there,

Beneath the pale moonlight,

Someone's thinking of me,

And loving me tonight.

Somewhere out there,

Someone's saying a prayer,

That we'll find one another,

In that big somewhere out there

Kovu sighed once more before heading in for the night. Back in the Pridelands Kopa was singing solfly also,

And even though I know how very far apart we are,

It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star,

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,

It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky!

Somewhere out there,

If love can see us through,

Then we'll be together,

Somewhere out there,

Out where dreams

Come true

Kopa looked to the stars and closed his eyes. When he opened them, he sighed and head down the hill top. Unknow to the Outland Prince, that in a few years he will forget his love for Kopa. With only one thing in mind: to avenged Scar.

Author's Note: How was that? Did you like the the song that Kopa and Kovu sung? Review and tell me what's on your mind from reading this chapter.
