A/N I'd like to thank Reldor for reviewing my last chapter. Here's ch 12 for you guys and as always familar stuff is Disney's and unfamilar stuff is mine.

Ch 12 Loose Lips

As the cubs returned home they heard Zazu being chewed out by Kali. "How could you lose them Zazu!" Kali was shouting. "This is so unlike you!"

"I'm sorry Sire," the hornbill was saying. "I'm just not as watchful as I used to be. Perhaps it's time for me to retire.

"Perhaps it is," Kali said roughly. Just then Leona and the others came walking in. "Hi Daddy," Leona said with a smile. "What cha doing?"

"Leona thank goodness," Jasiri cried running up to her daughter and nuzzling her. "Where have you been? You had us all worried sick. Do you realize that it's nearly sunset?"

"I'm sorry Mom," Leona said feeling guilty that she had worried her mother. "But you're not going to beleve what happened to me." The golden Princess then proceeded to tell her parents about the events that had happened earlier. Jasiri's eyes got huge and she let out a gasp. But before the Queen could respond Kali shouted, "Leona you could have been killed! Do you realize how incrediably lucky you are that you didn't get crushed or fall and break your neck! I forbad you to go anywhere near the gorge and let you went there anyways! That was incrediably stupid and foolish! And what's even more foolish is that you even brought this filthy outsider here with you!"

"He's not filty Daddy!" Leona shouted angerily. "He saved my.."

"I don't care what he did Leona!" Kali shouted. "He dosen't belong here! He needs to go right now!" Kali flashed Buama a glare causing the golden cub to back up a few steps.

"I'd better go Leona," Buama said nervously. "See ya." With that the golden cub ran off too scared to stay around.

"Daddy why'd you have to make him leave," Leona sobbed.

"He didn't belong here Leona that's why!" Kali shouted.

"Kali honey calm down," Nala said having just arrived on the scene. "I can hear you shouting all the way down to the waterhole."

"Yeah kiddo calm down," Kovu said coming out from the cave along with Tama. "You're going to have a heartattack at this rate."

"Don't call me kiddo," Kali snapped angerily. "I'm not a kid anymore. And I have a right to be angry! Or have you not heard about what my daughter and your nephew have been up to."

"Oh I heard," Kovu said. "I think the whole kingdom heard you. But Kali they're just kids. And don't forget that Leona is only two months old and dosen't know how things work yet."

"Kovu's right dear," Nala chimed in. "Yelling dosen't solve anything. It only makes things worse. And you shouldn't have yelled at that poor cub. He did nothing but save your daughter's life."

"They're right Kal'," Jasiri said gently nuzzling her mate. "You shouldn't have yelled like that at poor Buama. He's just a cub himself. Then the rusty brown Queen turned to her daughter and said angerily, "But what you did today was extremly foolish young lady. You do understand that right?"

"Yes Mom," Leona whispered lowering her amber eyes. "I'm sorry. It won't happen ever again Daddy. I promise."

"I know it won't honey," Kali said much calmer. "You're forgiven." After giving his daughter a nuzzle the golden King let out a sigh. "I guess I was too harsh on the boy. Zazu will you se if you can find him so I can apoligize."

"Yes Sire of course," Zazu said as he flew off leaving the Royal Family alone. Then it was decided by Vitani and Jasiri that their cubs would be grounded for a few days and would not be allowed to exit the cave.

As Buama was running towards the Outland border a much bigger grwy-brown lion with a almost full brown mane stepped out from the shadows. "Hey ya twirp where ya been?" he hissed.

"Geeze Fraka you scared me," Buama said his eyes wide. "And last I checked I didn't have to report to you."

"Yeah but you do have to report to Uncle Kolo," Fraka growled. "He sent me to find you. You're in big trouble for disappearing like that."

"Oh great," Buama muttered. "Just great." Rasing his voice the golden cub said, "Let's just get this over with." With that the six-month old cub fallowed the one year old lion back to the area where their family slept. Little did they know that Zazu had been flying overhead and had seen and heard the entire thing and was heading back to inform Kali what had just taken place.

Meanwhile back in the Outlands Kolo was furious that Buama had not returned. "Where can he be Hera," the grey lion growled. "He should have been back by now."

"Calm down Kolo," Hera said calmly. "I'm sure that he'll.." Just then the pale lioness saw Fraka and Buama returning. "Buama where have you been?" Hera asked nuzzling the golden cub.

"I'm sorry Mom," Buama said nervously. "I was just..."

"Is the deed done?" Kolo asked interrupting. "Have you done away with Kali's little brat yet?"

"Dad I've been thinking," Buama began. "Leona might better service us alive than dead don't you think?"

"She's still alive!" Kolo roared his blue eyes flashing with anger. "Buama I told you to finsh her off!"

"Kolo you stop that right now!" Hera hissed glaring at her mate. "He does have a point don't you think? If he befirends Kali's daughter it'll get him closer to Kali and gain his trust."

"Yes then we can take him down more easily because he'll have his guard down," Fraka chimed in hoping Kolo would approve.

"Hmm," Kolo said running a paw through his brown mane. "You may have a point there. Yes I do beleve you got soemthing there my son. Well done. Very well done."

"So you're not mad?" Buama asked hopefully.

"No I'm not mad," Kolo said simply. "In fact I'm very proud of you Buama. But I do think it's time for bed. You've had quite a day." With that Kolo and Hera gave Buama a nuzzle and sent him off to bed. "Do you think he can do it Uncle Kolo?" Fraka asked. "I mean he might need help. Maybe I could.."

"Fraka don't be such an idiot," Kolo snapped. "Kali would know it was you in an instant. Then he would figure out that Buama is really his son Amri. If that would to happen it would be the death of us all."

"But I just thought..." Fraka said only to be smacked int he face by Kolo's paw. "You never think!" Kolo growled. "That's why you failed the first time. You didn't think and gave yourself away! Now no more arguing and off to bed!"

"Yes Uncle Kolo," Fraka said quietly. With that the grey-brown lion was off with his tail in between his legs.

"Idiot," Kolo muttered shaking his head.

Meanwhile inside the cave Fraka was muttering to himself, "Stupid Buama. What's so great about him anyways. I'm Bosi's son. I should be the one taking down Kali not him. I never should have kidnapped the little runt to begin with. That was a huge mistake." The grey-brown lion grumbled somemore before he decided to try and get some sleep. He didn't realize that Buama was still awake and had heard everyword Fraka had said.

A/n well there you go ch 12 done. Hope you all liked it and as always review please.
