Author's Note: If you liked any of my other fics, you'll like this one. After I mentioned the lion king to some of you, you rooted for me to make a Lion King fic, so I did. Enjoy!
Sasha: Yaaay! It's about cats!
Gryfffinrose: --;
Disclaimer: I don't own this, though I wish I did. But Shilark and Tiko are mine, mine, and MINE!
The sun began to rise over the horizon, and Rafiki came outside to greet the animals that had arrived to see the new prince and princess. All the animals in the kingdom had gathered to see the new prince and princess. Kiara smiled at her father, and tried to breathe. "Did you feel this nervous when I was in this ceremony?" she finally asked, stroking her female cub. "Are you kidding?" Simba joked, "You should have seen Timon and Pumba!" Timon and Pumba grumbled in resignation. Kovu came over with the male cub. The female was slightly tanner than her mother, with dark hazel brown eyes, and an extra tuft of fur at the edge of her forehead. The male had deep turquoise eyes with fur that was alittle lighter than his father's did. Rafiki came in to take the cubs outside, and smiled at Kovu and Kiara.
"Rafiki knew that this would work out, he did, he did."
He sprinkled the dust over the two cubs' foreheads, and picked them up gently. Rafiki then held them up in front of the large gathering of animals. They all reacted as they usually did to a new prince or princess. Kiara and Kovu smiled, and gazed happily at their cubs. Nala and Simba sat near them, along with Timon and Pumba. "This ceremony seems familiar."
Simba said, smiling. Nala grinned. "I'm sure it does." Rafiki carried them back in, and Kiara kept them close. Everyone was drained, but still decided to talk while the cubs slept. "Mom, Dad, when do I become queen? I really don't get it. Now that I'm grown up, I guess I'm accepting the fact that someday I'll be queen."
Kiara sighed. "Tomorrow is your ceremony. You'll do fine." Simba replied, and nuzzled her. "Daad! Not in front of Kovu!"
Kovu grinned. "Isn't that sweet?" he joked, and he nudged him with her paw. The female cub cried. Before the parents could get there, the male cub had comforted her to sleep, yawned, and cuddle up to her. "We should have him guard his sister! She'll always be with him." Kiara suggested. The male cub turned in his sleep. The pride was about to settle down for a nap, when a large growl woke them. "What was that?" Kiara said, slowly getting up to gaze down the cliff. A whole pride of rogue cheetahs, jaguars, and remaining Outlanders were gathered around Pride Rock, growling a challenge.
"Move out!"
Kovu called, and everyone got up, ready to battle, except for Timon and Pumba, who were to guard the cubs. "Daddy, didn't we get all of the Outlanders back on our side?" Simba shook his head. "This is a new pack with new lions. There's...There's Zira!" He growled, and leapt down onto the large rocks lacing the edge of Pride Rock, and in front of Zira. "Get out of here!" He demanded. Zira swiped at him, her eyes spelling out bloody murder.
"You shall pay for making my son one of you Pridelanders, and for nearly killing me!"
She roared a cry into the air, and cheetahs, leopards, rogue lions, and a few other species of cat leapt into battle against the Pridelanders. Zira flipped Simba onto his back, and he pushed her off with his front paws. Kiara growled, and pinned down Zira. Zira snapped at her throat, and threw her off, her eyes flashing crimson red as her fur dripped in the rain. All other cats were slashing at the flesh of Nala, Simba, Kovu, and other lions, desperately trying to break the skin. Zira backed up into a circle of rocks. Her eyes widened as Kiara leapt through the air at her to deliver the final blow, and they got even wider when she saw her cub walking absentmindedly into the midst of battle. Kiara struck flesh, but not Zira's, her cubs. The girl squealed, and Zira snatched her up.
"Retreat!"
She scraped up dust, and formed a cloud so that no one could see except for the Outlanders. The Pridelanders coughed, and when the smoke cleared, they were gone. Kiara whimpered alittle, and cantered over to her father.
"What is it, Kiara?"
He asked in alarm at the expression on her face. "I hit Zira's cub because it came in front of me as I was about to kill Zira, and I feel really bad." She said in shame. Simba smiled kindly at her. "She shouldn't have brought a cub here, anyways. We know better." Kovu spoke up, and nuzzled Kiara, who was back in the cave, gazing lovingly at her cubs. "My babies..." She whispered.
Ten months later...
Shilark pounced on a butterfly that was outside of her den. Her brother, Tiko, watched ruefully from the side. "Lark, we'll wake up mom and dad! Not to mention the whole pride'll wake up, too." "Where's your sense of adventure? I'm going outside." "We're not supposed to go outside!" Lark sighed and dragged her wimpy brother outside, and behind a rock. He was such a snob about the rules. Timon and Pumba were still asleep.
"Come on, we can go near that dark spot that dad told us about on the rock!"
"You're kidding, right? Besides, we're too old for these kinds of things."
Shilark glared at him, and took off. Tiko groaned, and took after her. He was supposed to look after her. She leapt over the rocks and ferns, but tripped. Tiko crashed into her.
"Hey, watch it!"
He grumbled. "If I were queen, I wouldn't trip. I would be graceful, beautiful, tough, and smart. You would listen to me!"
She snarled at Tiko.
"Why do you want that job so much?"
"Why don't you? You're the prince!"
He groaned, and sat down. Shilark shook her head at his lack of enthusiasm. She strutted up to him, smiling.
Shilark: I'm going to be a mighty queen, so enemies beware!
Tiko: Well, I've never seen such a little queen that had so little cares!
Shilark: I'm gonna be magnificent, and all will love the pride!
Tiko: But it doesn't matter what's on out, when it's all inside!
Shilark: You're just mean, I really should just knooow!
Oh, I just can't wait to be queen!
Tiko: Hey, wait up! Quit this!
Shilark (ignoring him): No one saying quit this!
Tiko: When I said that-
Shilark: No one saying be there!
Tiko: Just listen!
Shilark: No one saying stop that!
Tiko: Stop that!
Shilark: No one saying to be nice to you!
Tiko: Please be nice to me!
Shilark: Going to go and hunt aall day!
Tiko: We'll see about that...
Shilark: We're gonna do it all my way!
Tiko: Well, I don't like your attitude, from sassiness to everything else!
Shilark: Yeah, but that's only 'cause you don't have one to boast about!
Tiko: But if you will rule, I will too! So just please give it up!
Shilark: You're too babyish for this part so just back off! Oh, I just can't wait 'till I'm queen!
Tiko: ::growls::
Everyone forget him! Everyone leave him! Everyone, look at me, I'm a siight!
Tiko: I won't submit to your teasing anymore!
(Song starts to end)
Tiko and Shilark: 'Cause I just can't waaaaaiiiit- (Fireworks start)
'Till I'M queen/king!
The two cubs growled at each other, and started to take their claws out. They started to roll around, scratching and clawing at each other. Shilark finally pushed him into a bush, and Tiko fell down a steep hill. He toppled into a rocky desert wasteland close to the Outlands. Tiko looked around. Shilark, oblivious to the fact that she had pushed her brother to his new fate, figured that he had given up, so she walked away, humming the tune of "I Just Can't Wait to be Queen" to herself. Tiko stood up, his paws shaking. He had heard too many bad stories about lions that came to the Outlands and never came back. A sudden rustle of a cactus brush made him start. In front of him stood the-the-most beautiful female cub he had ever seen. She had skin alittle darker than his mothers, with a scar on her left back leg. His almost brown face began to turn red. "H-hi! Who are you?" She smirked, and began to circle him. He turned ruby. "Well, well, well, if it isn't an innocent little cub out for a walk. Where's your mom and dad?" He thought it might be a bad idea to tell her who his parents were, so he lied. "I sorta crept out of our den, and, uh, can't find my way home?" Unfortunately, he stunk at lying. She noticed this, and bared her teeth. "Tell the truth!" she snarled, when a female voice cut her off. "Now, now, Viper, be nice. Well, if it isn't the little prince?" A scary face that his dad had described to him loomed out of the darkness. Zira had a scar on her neck, back, and front leg. She had survived the fall to the rushing river in the battle of the Outlanders and Pridelanders, but was in bad shape. "How did you know...?" Tiko stuttered. "I'm your grandmother, didn't you know? We want you to come with us for a little...Tour, shall we say. If your father wouldn't submit to training, you will!" She raised one sharpened claw on her paw, pointing it at him. "I'll come, sure!" Tiko walked over meekly. Zira smirked, and led her cub and grandchild away. All was going according to plan, and if planned right, she would have her revenge on the idiotic royal family that had ruined her life.
Author's Note: Ooh, Zira's mad! I needed to leave a cliffie, you know. Anyways, please review, yatta yata, yatta. Zira mad is like making Shego, Starfire, Sasha, or me mad.
