As the sun arose, Kovu nudged Kiara's side. Letting her know, he was ready. For what? To go on their journey, that is. Kiara and Kovu had talked all night about it. They planned on going to Enmbala Hills. Beautiful place! Lot's of hills, lakes, trees, and of course, privacy. Kovu steadily got up and shook his mighty dark main. He stepped out of the den and sat outside it, awaiting for his love to come out and they could begin their journey. Kiara groaned lightly inside the den. But...neither did Kovu nor Kiara know, Simba was awake...and watching every single move. He had overheard the conversation last night. He was furious! Kiara lightly arose and tapped out of the den. She nuzzled Kovu and off they went. Simba snarled. He got up and ran to the den's opening. Nala ran and stopped him.
" Simba! Please! She's just trying to have her life! Let her go!" Nala roared.
" No! Kovu...he's...he...but.." Simba muttered. He sighed and sat down. Nala raised a brow and smirked.
" Hmm...Kovu is what?" Nala asked.
" Scar's heir." Simba whispered. Nala sighed and got up.
" Simba! You must put it in the past! Let it go!" Nala said.
" I can't! Scar killed my father!" Simba roared.
" There is no need to fight about this. Kiara and Kovu love each other. And so do we. If you really love your daughter, you would do what is right for her." Nala said.
" I know what is right, and that is to stop my daughter!" Simba roared.
" No, you don't. Kovu and Kiara have a special bond. If you break it, Kiara may never return. You know that." Nala said. Simba was speechless. Nala was right. Simba's head hung loosely.
" I guess you're right." Simba whispered. Nala smirked.
" Pinned ya." Nala said as she walked past him.
Kiara and Kovu ran like they never ran before. Laughing with glee and racing in the wind. It took them a while before they got to their destination. Kiara laughed. Then she stopped. Kovu slid and stopped.
" Kiara? What's wrong?" Kovu asked.
" Nothing! I...just...thought I heard something." Kiara said. She trotted past Kovu. Kovu raised a brow. He listened to the wind. Nothing. Kovu shook his head and followed Kiara. Kiara found a nearby silver pond. She started to drink from it. Kovu layed down at the ponds edge.
" Kiara...if you don't want to do this..tell me. I won't be mad." Kovu said.
" Kovu..." Kiara said teasingly. " I love you." She said and nudged his mane. " This place is beautiful!"
" Yeah. So are you.." Kovu said teasingly. Kiara blushed.
" Oh, I hear that from my father all the time." Kiara said.
" Well, it's true. Anyone with eyes can see that." Kovu said. Kiara smiled and layed down beside Kovu, nudging him. Kovu nuzzled her and their love began to proceed. Kovu licked her maw, showing her teeth. Kiara looked into his eyes. Those beautiful green eyes could attract anything! That's why he is the best hunter in the pride. Not only because of his speed and smarts, but his glowing eyes. Kiara sighed.
" Ok..Kovu...I am ready." Kiara said.
" Are you sure?" Kovu said, getting up to began to mate.
" Yes. I am." Kiara smiled. Kovu groaned as he began. And soon enough, Kiara was pregnant.
