A/N: Hey, thanks to all who reviewed. This chapter will only be about Kiara and her journey to a land that only she and Vitani know about.

A lone lioness made her way through the dessert towards a land she once knew. She couldn't see it, but she knew this was the right way. Kiara slowly moved forward as if her life depended on it. You wouldn't know by looking at her, but more then just her life depended on it. She was pregnant with twins, but only two months pregnant. Suddenly she leaned her head forward and puked. She hadn't eaten since she first left Pride Rock.

She looked back and thought she saw something. Like a shadow following her, but it disappeared. 'I'm hallucinating' she thought as she shook her head. She looked forward again and saw a rabbit. Instinct took over and she crouched down and stalked towards the lone rabbit. When she got close enough she saw it wasn't a rabbit, but a lion cub, that was no older than she was when she first met Kovu, laying there. She pushed the cub gently with her nose trying to arouse it.

The cub stirred slightly and Kiara sighed. It was alive. From the looks of it, the cub hadn't eaten for weeks, much longer than herself. Kiara didn't wait until the cub fully woke up, she just lifted the cub on her back; much like Kovu did for her many months ago before there was peace between the Pridelanders and the Outlanders. She started walking forward again, the cub wasn't that heavy, so she didn't have much trouble carrying it. Kiara didn't know weather the cub was a boy or a girl, but as soon as it woke up she would find out. She didn't know how, but she knew she was.

Kiara was nearing a place that looked slightly familiar, a small oasis halfway to the place she knew about, when the cub stirred on her back and lifted its head.

"Where am I?" the cub asked looking around confused. He looked down and noticed a lioness underneath him. "Who are you?" the cub asked quietly and frightened.

Kiara waited until they got to a water hole at the oasis before she laid down and let the cub slide off her back, "My name is Kiara," she said. "Who might you be?"

The lion cub looked surprised as it whispered, "My name is Ugoni. Are you really Princess Kiara!" Kiara's jaw dropped when she heard the little girl's name.

"Yes, but why is your name Ugoni?" Kiara asked. "Doesn't that mean rape?"

"Yeah, it does, it's a long story." Ugoni said sadly. "I'm hungry."

Kiara laughed. "I bet you are, stay here while I go find some food. Yell if you need help." Kiara took off at a jog, but stopped and looked back, "When you drink, only drink small amounts."

"Okay!" Ugoni yelled to her. Kiara turned forward again and searched for food. After several minutes she finally spotted a herd of gazelle. She crouched down and stalked up to them, careful not to make a sound. For once she was able to be silent. She came very close to them, then took off chasing them, she managed to get one. Ugoni looked up when she heard something and saw Kiara dragging up a medium sized gazelle.

"I caught one!" Kiara exclaimed excitedly. "This is my first successful hunt!" The two females ate until there was just a pile of bones. Then they laid down to sleep. "We'll stay here for a while to build up our strength. Okay?" she asked the cub.

"That's fine with me." Ugoni said. "Tomorrow I'll tell you why my name is Ugoni." Kiara nodded and closed her eyes. A few minutes later she felt Ugoni snuggle right next to her to keep warm and Kiara smiled.
