Author's Note: SnowFlakexx; I agree about the drama as for who was the blue eyes, you have to wait and see.
Wohmbat; You'll find out very soon.
TMNTMentalistTLK lover; I agree. Plus there shouldn't be any secrets.
Sorry for the late update, been quite busy with other projects. Now without further ado here's chapter twelve.
Jai could feel the eyes of the Kush kingdom king on his back. He gulped and picked up the pace. When he got to pride rock the pride and the animals was waiting. The rich cream lion stopped and took a deep breath before leaping on a high ledge.
"Welcoming the four neighboring prides." Jai averted his eyes as a large black lion with a black mane walked up. Besides him was a pure white lioness, behind them was a black and white lioness cubs. "Welcoming King Hakeem and his Queen Amira. A long with their daughters, Princess Sheena and Princess Shani."
Hakeem and Amira bowed their heads before moving to the side as a pale orange lion with a two tone mane of black and brown stepped up. Besides him was a light brown lioness, at her side was a light orange lioness cub.
"Welcoming the royal family of the River pride. King Malka and his Queen Kula. With their daughter, Princess Malika."
The River pride royal family bowed before stepping to the side. A dark golden lion with a russet mane walked up with a creamy golden lioness cub at his side.
"King Tojo and his granddaughter, Princess Alyssa of the Highlands."
Tojo bowed before moving to the side with his granddaughter following. Jai inhaled and exhaled before looking at the last visiting royal family.
"Lastly. King Chumvi and his new Queen Jaha of the Spiritlands. With their daughter, Princess Sherise."
A large, bulky dull brown lion with a darker brown mane walked up. Behind him was a young rusty brown lioness with a black tuff on her head. By her front paws was a brownish lioness cub with a small brownish fur sticking up on her head. Chumvi dipped his head before he and his family moved off to the side.
Jai took a deep breath before roaring. "Welcome to the Pride Lands!"
Kopa, Almasi, Kiara, Sariel and the pride roared as the animals cheered.
-O-
Kiara was sitting at the peak watching the cubs play while the adults caught up. She smiled when she seen that Almasi and the other young queen, Jaha had hit it off quite nicely. She was about to join in when she noticed that something was out of place. She moved her eyes back to her cubs, her eyes widened when she only seen two cubs.
"Khari! Sienna!"
The dark golden cub and the golden orange cub looked up before running up the rocky slope. Kiara gave them nuzzles before stepping back.
"Have you seen your brother?"
Khari and Sienna shared looks before looking at their mother and shook their heads. Kiara was about to panic. Her little son was out there alone. Khari felt bad and nuzzled his mother's leg.
"We'll look for Evans before it gets dark."
The golden orange lioness smiled before nuzzling her son and daughter. She pinned her ears and sighed as she watched her cubs head down the slope and into the plains.
"Kiara..."
Kiara opened her eyes and looked towards the slope to see her father with a out of place look. She frowned as she flattened her ears against her head. "Father...what's wrong?"
The golden lion lowered his head, his red mane covered his face. "I'm sorry. I'm very sorry...I should of told you sooner."
Kiara frown deepen at the memory of that her parents should of told her sooner. "Should of told me what sooner?"
Simba looked up and was clearly shown that he was breathing heavily. He wanted to tell her but he couldn't. But even though he doesn't want to...he has to. "Kiara this is not easy for me but you need to know."
Kiara was losing her patience with her father. She bared her teeth as his claws slid out. "Tell me!"
Kiara's roar caused the gathering to halt and everyone's eyes moved to the father and daughter on pride rock. Simba was shaking but he couldn't back out not now.
"Nala isn't your birth mother..."
Kiara was beyond shocked. She didn't know what to say to that. Nala wasn't her mother. Then who was? "Who...?"
Simba took a deep breath before continuing. "A week after Kopa's death, Nala and I got into a fight. She blamed me for Kopa's death, so I ran off. Where I saved your mother from hyenas. We talked...I told her about Kopa how Nala blamed me. She nuzzled me and the next thing led to the next. She became pregnant that following month. Nala found out and blackmailed me into exliing her. We kept you a secret from the pride until a week later where Nala pulled off a surprise pregnancy."
Kiara couldn't believe this. Nala was a douche even before now. It makes sense why Nala acted the way she did. She had so many questions but one kept popping up. "What's my mother's name?"
Simba sighed before replying. "Your mother's name is..."
