Chapter 25

Eshma walked slowly over to Kamania. Kamania sighed as she looked down at her paws. "What's wrong?" Eshma asked. Kamania looked up at the older lioness with watery eyes. "Oh Kamania, it's ok," Eshma nuzzled the young cub and then smiled. Kamania shook her head.
"You don't understand," she said. Eshma cocked her head. "You haven't said anything for me to understand," Kamania sniffed and then said, "Everything is happening so fast. First my foster mom died, and then Maya and them found me. Then Kita told me she was my real mom..." Kamania paused and sniffed a couple times. She looked back up at Eshma. "I didn't want to believe her," Eshma nodded, she knew the feeling, somewhat anyway. She hadn't completely believed that Sarsha was her sister when the lioness had told her so.
Kamania shook her head. "But now I see, if she didn't truly love me and want to make it up, she wouldn't have fought so hard to save me from those humans." Eshma smiled. "A mother's love can do great things," she said. Kamania looked up at her in surprise. "That other lioness said that," Eshma gave her a confused look. "What other lioness?" she asked. "Nearu, Kita's mom..."

"Oh my Miku, we didn't think you were going to be coming back!" Kiara exclaimed, nuzzling her son. Miku looked around. He was pleased to have a real sister. Perhaps Chloe and Karla would become good friends. Miku looked to Mohatu, who Kiara had told him was king. He nodded and then smiled at his mother. "My time was sure short lived wasn't it?" Kiara smiled and nodded.
She then frowned. "What made you come back?" Miku looked toward the front of the cave. "I had a bad feeling you guys were in trouble. Even though I stepped down from being King, I still have an obligation to protect my family, all of it." Kiara smiled and nuzzled him again.
Miku then turned and looked around for Kita. Finally he saw her sitting out in the rain near the tip of pride rock. He slowly made his way out to her.
"Hey, why are you sitting here all alone?" he asked. Kita smiled at him. "Just wondering about things," she said. Miku nodded. "What 'things' would that be?" he asked. Kita looked back at him with tears in her eyes. She then told him about how she had originally had two cubs. How she thought one was dead and had pushed it out into the storm. She then told him of how Tiku and his friends had found Kamania and the trouble she'd had of telling the cub the truth.
When she was done she leaned against Miku's strong chest and sobbed. Miku sighed. "Hey, it's ok. You've got her back now," Kita sat back and shook her head. "She won't even accept me Miku. I can't say I blame her, but still. I love her so much and it hurts me that she won't accept me..." Miku shook his head. "Give it time Kita," Kita sighed. "Yeah, you're right. I just need to give it time...Thanks Miku," she rubbed her head under his chin once more and then left.

Alright, I wanted to add more, but when I did, it sounded to much like the next chapter, so I cut it out...well hope you like this part, and Ceci1, I'm really glad you liked Miku the best, none of my friends did.
