Author's Note:Asaf; My dear friend, the fate of Mheetu will be revealed soon.

Fangirl Fluffy; Mheetu will confess shortly.

TMNTMentalistTLK lover; I'm glad you enjoyed the moments Mheetu has with his children. You will be surprised, that's all I'm saying.

ThatTexasKid; Yeah Mheetu is a pretty good dad. Better than Kali, that's for sure and thanks. I couldn't of done it without you and the other readers.

It has been a month and half since the return of the rightful heir, King Simba. It was another afternoon when Mheetu walked through the Pride Lands, but this time his daughters was accompanying him. The land by now had returned to it's former glory. The herds have returned where it was when Mufasa was alive and in rule.

"So we have to treat our prey as equals?"

Mheetu was walking in between his daughters, Loki on the left and Talia on the right. The light cream lion smiled warmly at his pale cream cub. "Yes Loki. We don't want our prey to live in fear. If they do then we pretty much have a repeat of Scar's reign."

Loki nodded in understanding. During their walk, she and her sister learned when hunting to go for the sick and the old. Leave the young, the healthy and the pregnant to live. So the herd can grow strong. The pale cream cub was interrupted by the voice of her sister.

"Dad?"

Mheetu moved his attention to his youngest daughter. Starring into her eyes that mirrored his own. "Yes my angel."

Talia was about to ask her father a question. A question that has been bugging her for some time now when a musculan voice rang through her ears as well as her father and sister.

"Mheetu!"

The light cream lion and his daughters looked to see the golden king walking towards them. The young lionesses bowed as Mheetu dipped his head. Simba smiled gratefully at his adopted nieces.

"Loki and Talia, you do not have to bow. We're family."

The twins lifted their heads and smiled at the golden lion. Simba gave them each nuzzles before turning his attention to the light cream lion.

"Mheetu have you seen Nala?"

Mheetu shook her head as the light cream female cub spoke up. "Uncle Simba, Queen Nala went to see Mr. Rafiki."

Simba sighed as he pinned he ears. "I hope she's alright. She's been sick for a few days now."

Mheetu nuzzled the slightly older lion. He couldn't deny the fact that the contact didn't feel good. But after clearing his throat he pulled away with a small smile. "I'm sure Nala's fine."

Simba smiled grateful but he too couldn't help but want more out of the nuzzle. The golden lion shook his head before speaking. "Well..."

"Simba!"

Simba's ear flickered before he looked to see his mate and queen trotting over. The king and queen nuzzled in greeting before the preachy cream lioness smiled at her former lover and adopted nieces. "I'm glad you are all here."

Simba and Mheetu shared confused a look before looking back at Nala. The lioness queen had a glow to her that strangely Mheetu seen before. Mheetu thought back to when he seen a lioness glow like that. The result came to his aunt Amira, Nala, Zira, Jenell and Waya. All when they were...expecting. Mheetu was bomb raided by a ocean of emotions. With a heavy sigh the light cream lion gave Nala a knowing look before ushering Loki and Talia home to give Simba and Nala some time alone.

-TOAA-

The hot ground burned his paw pads and the cracked ground, cutting into his paws didn't make it any better. What was in that lioness mind to bring his brother and son here, to the Outlands. The sound of small growling brought his attention to a dried up bush nearby. Looking around to make sure he was alone and wasn't being watched he headed for the bush and peaked through. Behind the bush was three male cubs, he could tell by the tuffs on their heads. One of them was his little brother, Nuka. The dingy brown cub had a small black tuff on his head, and those red eyes that he will never forget. There was a pale creamy brown cub that he didn't remember seeing. Than there was the month and a half cub with dark brown fur and a fluffy darker brown tuff on his head. The light cream lion automatically knew that the brown cub was his son. Just like Hal, he was a spitting image of himself. With a darker pelt and green eyes. But it was his son...none the less. He waited for Nuka and the pale creamy brown cub, Roul to leave before he approach his son...Kovu. He couldn't believe that woman named his son after a tyrant. With a warm smile he focused on the task at hand.

"Hello."

Kovu jumped back with his black rimmed ears against his head and his small teeth bared. "Who are you?!"

Mheetu shook his head before speaking in a soothing tone. "Calm down cobra. I'm not here to hurt you."

Kovu's ears perked and he straighten up but was prepared to call for help if anything. "Your not?"

Mheetu sat and nodded. "My name is Mheetu, what's yours?"

"Kovu..."

A loud roar echoed through the air, before Mheetu knew it he was sent sliding across the barren ground. He looked up to see he was surrounded by a group of lionesses. A evil chuckle caused him to look from the lionesses to see a pale tan lioness, her red eyes full of hate.

"You are very foolish Mheetu."

Mheetu looked for the brown cub but didn't see him. With a snarl he turned back to Zira. "You won't get away with this! That's my son!"

Zira growled, her red eyes seem to burn like flames. "You mean my son!"

Mheetu narrowed his stormy blue eyes, where it looked like a real storm was going on and roared. "Bullshit! Zira you stole my son, Mufasi!"

"His name is Kovu! After the great king that you and your demon lover killed in cold blood!"

Mheetu snarled with his teeth bared. "Don't of Simba like that!"

Zira growled before nodding to her lionesses. "Get out! I have nothing to say!"

"But I do! Kovu is my son and know that I will get him back!"

Zira sneered at her former step-son. "Over my dead body!"

"Be careful what you wish for!" the light cream lion snarled before attacking a dusty grey lioness that was in his way.

After successfully knocking the lioness out he jumped over her unconscious body and bolted towards the border. The remaining lionesses was about to go after Mheetu but Zira stopped them.

"Let him go! Get back to base!"

Zira growled at the Mheetu's retreating form before following her lionesses.
