Author's Note:Eclipse89; Yes Kali is a piece of doodoo. Alot of drama is ahead.
Asaf; Simba is still a little lost when it about Mheetu's feelings. But he is starting to feel different around Mheetu.
Fangirl Fluffy; Mheetu has alot of things on shoulder. So when the stress and everything else gets too much, it won't be happy.
TMNTMentalistTLK lover; I'm glad you loved it and of course. I wasn't going to have him go evil step-father.
Mheetu ran blindly across the grey landscape. Alot of thoughts running through his head. Simba...Nala...Hal..., his feelings for Simba. He should of told him how he feels but just couldn't... Mheetu was knocked out of his thoughts by running into something or someone. He put a lighter colour paw to his head and shook it before looking at what he ran into. To see a young dark golden furred lion with a deep brown mane get up.
Mheetu raised a eyebrow as he realized who the lion is. "Tojo?"
The dark golden lion was breathing heavy, he must of been running for awhile. Tojo took a deep breath before moving his sapphire blue eyes up. "Mheetu...I uh have been looking for you."
The light cream lion tilted his head in confusion. "You were looking for me? Is everything alright?"
Tojo lowered his head and shook it. "No. Zira has gone a-wall. I'm sorry..."
It's been no secret about Zira's upsession with Scar. It been like that once everyone became teenagers. The upsession only increased when Scar chose her to bare his heir.
Mheetu shook his head before focusing on the important matter. "Tojo what did Zira do?"
Tears fell the dark golden lion's eyes. "I'm sorry...Zira...she killed Waya."
Mheetu's eyes widen in fear before he bolted off towards Waya's private cave. Time seemed to slow down as he raced across the dead savannah. When he got to the cave entrance and seen the dead body, the light cream lion collapsed in a weeping heap. The crying lion sniffed before turning to see Tojo.
"Why?"
Tojo sighed before looking at Waya's body and sat with his head lowered. "Before I say...you have someone that needs you."
Mheetu was about to ask what he meant when a small familiar voice rang through his ears. The light cream lion moved his stormy blue eyes towards the body to a small light cream cub sitting up looking at him with his eyes.
"Daddy!" Talia cried before running towards her father and clenched on one of his legs.
Mheetu closed his eyes and lowered his head to nuzzle the shaken cub. Tears fell from his closed eyes for different reasons. Anger burned through him as he realized his baby witness murder. He turned from his daughter to the dark golden lion. With a shakey video he repeated.
"Why?"
Tojo sighed heavily. "I also did something wrong. You know that Zira was pregnant again?"
Mheetu nodded before shaking his head. "What do you mean was?"
Tojo inhaled and exhaled before replying. "Not long after you and Nala left she gave birth to our daughter."
Mheetu's eyes widen in shock. "Your daughter? But I thought you were with Tama?"
Tojo sighed heavily. "I am. I really feel bad. I cheated on my mate with her half sister."
Mheetu couldn't say he wasn't surprised. Considering the bond they had. But that wasn't important to him. "You still haven't told me why? And where's my cub?!"
"Daddy the mean lady took Mufasi."
Mufasi. So the cub was a boy. He smiled lightly at the memory. He and Waya along with Talia talked about names. It was decided that if the new cub was a male they would name him after Mufasa. If a girl they would name her after Simba. Mheetu closed his eyes as more tears fell.
"Kovu is not dead. Zira took him to Scar as a suitable heir. Since she knows that Scar is not fond of daughters. And Vitani would of made three."
Mheetu was about to ask what he was saying. He only know of Waya, who's the other one. Mheetu looked up and seen Tojo walking away.
"Tojo! Who's the other daughter?"
Tojo stopped walking and sighed before looking over his shoulder. "Nala. I have to go...I said enough. Take care Mheetu."
Mheetu watched the dark golden lion run off. But couldn't focus, Nala is Scar's daughter. But he tried to...the light cream lion shuddered at the thought. Only way to get answers is to talk to Sarafina. But there's something more important. His cubs...looking down, he gave his daughter a nuzzle.
"Come on Talia. Let's get back to Pride Rock."
Talia looked at Waya one last time before following her father.
-TOAA-
Mheetu walked in the cave where Talia ran over to her mother. Mheetu smiled as his daughter was tackled by Justin. He moved to his eyes to back of the cave to see Nala and Sarabi licking blood off of Simba's golden fur. His eyes widen before he rushed over to the royal platform and stared in horror.
"What happened?!"
Sarafina approached with Hal by her side. The light cream cub ran from his grandmother to his father."Zira attacked Simba. She got it in her mind that Simba killed Scar."
Mheetu shook his head. "But he didn't...the hyenas did!"
Nala looked from her mate and king and sighed. "That's what Simba and I told her but she wouldn't see reason."
Mheetu sighed heavily before looking at the unconscious king. "Where's Zira now?"
Sarabi looked from her son to the light cream lion that she came to love as a son. "Before he went unconscious, he exiled her and all of her followers as well as cubs."
Mheetu lowered his head and shook it. "I...guess it was for the best that she's gone. After all she killed Waya...I don't know about my cub."
The three lionesses gasped before saying how sorry they were. Tears fell from the light cream lion's eyes as he took the moment to grieve for his friend. He wasn't in love with Waya but he still love her. Also to grieve for the cub he didn't meet. He won't take the risk of getting back and his life is in danger. If she killed a lioness, stole a cub and attacked a king. There's no telling what she would do if he went to get Mufasi back. But he promised himself that he look out for the boy, and when the time is right he tell him the truth. Only thing...fate has other plans.
