In the Line Of Scar

CHAPTER 1 LUKE

DISCLAIMER: No I do not own any of these characters except Luke, the cub. Read to find out WHO is Luke!

Nuka lay sadly on the floor. He had just found out that his little termite of a brother was going to be king, not him.

"Mother, I want to be king! A little termite like him could never take the job!' Nuka said, pointing at Kovu. Kovu was pouncing at a mouse, trying to catch it.

"I would want you to be king too, but Kovu was chosen. Now Nuka, be a role- model for your brother and sister." Zira walked away, leaving Nuka in anger and disgust.

How could a little termite like Kovu handle such a BIG job? He asked himself, once again looking at Kovu, who hadn't caught the mouse yet.

"Kovu, just give it up!" he cried. Kovu looked at his big brother, his huge eyes sparkling, and shook his head.

"I could be a king, Mother!" Nuka called. "If you would just give me a chance!"

"Believe whatever you please, Nuka!' Vitani said, lying down. "But everyone knows Kovu is going to be king."

"You are just like Mother!" Nuka bounded. He walked to Vitani and Kovu, and sat down hard.

~*Years Later*~

"Kovu!" Vitani hissed. "You are going to be king!" Kovu was now a young youth.

"I've known that for years, Vitani," Kovu answered coldly. "I do not want to be king, nor follow in Scar's pawprints."

'Hey, did you hear that years ago Simba had another cub?" Nuka asked his mother.

"What?' Zira replied. "How do you know? I know he had a cub named Kiara, Kovu's girlfriend, but Kiara has a little sister or brother-?"

"Mother-she is not my girlfriend!" Kovu cried. She's my wife to be. I could never let Mother know though, he thought.

"It's a boy, Mother. He is about Vitani's age." Nuka had found this all out, by sneaking to the Pride Lands and watching the birth celebration of the young cub years ago.

"How come you never told me?" Zira demanded. "He was born years ago and you never TOLD me? He is the king-to-be-don't you get it?"

"Well what's his name?" Vitani asked curiously.

"Luke."
