Kion and Kiara were out hunting for food. The older sibling already found a hartebeest for her to kill and eat, while Kion found a Thompson's gazelle ripe for the picking. Both of them went in separate directions, Kion on the left, and Kiara on the right. Both these antelopes didn't notice the predator stalking them in the grass, and kept on grazing.

Crouching slowly towards the Thompson's gazelle, Kion suddenly leaped on the small antelope's back, and held on tight with his sharp claws.

The hartebeest noticed the commotion, and looked where it was coming from, but he didn't notice Kiara, and the lioness roared while leaping in the air, and latched on the medium antelope, and snapped on his neck with her sharp jaws.

For Kion. The small gazelle began to run away, and throw Kion off, but he kept his teeth on the neck, and claws on the back. To the antelopes, it stung like a group of bees or Hornets were stabbing their skin woth their stingers.

Alas, Kion and Kiara were hungry and they needed the food to fill their bellies. The hartebeest was trying so hard to buck Kiara off of his back, but to no avail. After about ten long minutes, Kion finally killed the gazelle and he fell to the ground on his right side.

Kiars felt the hartebeest about to fall and collapse and then jumped off. She knew she had won and carried the dead hartebeest with her mouth. She placed it under a tree after dragging it five hundred feet to where she and Kion were on their hunt.

Her younger brother was dragging his lunch with him, and they both enjoyed their meals together. "mm, this is so good." Said Kion, taking a big bite out of a piece of flesh. "We should do this morrnoften."

"I couldn't agree more." Said Kiara. "You ever thought of doing the roar of the elders on your prey?"

"No. I only use that if needed, like an emergency. Besides, I don't want any animals getting hurt by the roar."

"Right."

And they both continued eating their food which took a little more than fifteen minutes over time. After they were finished, there was nothing left of their prey but rotting flesh and bones. A small flock of vultures came over the trees cawing and circling around the two big pieces of carrion.

That was a very good meal for both the siblings and they were already stuffed. "So Kion, are you careful when you hunt?"

"What kind of question is that, Kiara?"

"Just asking is all."

"I'm perfectly fine when I'm hunting. Kovu kinda taught me how to hunt more properly like he did for you." Said Kion. "And besides, there is nothing a leader of the Lion Guard can't handle while on duty. You know how big a part I play in the Circle of Life."

Kiara smiled. "Of course I do, little brother. And, when I finally become queen of the Pride Lands someday, do you really think I'll be a good one?"

"I'm sure you will be an amazing queen, and Kovu will be a great king. You're kind, compassionate, and you care about all the animals in the Pride Lands. I know you will be a terrific queen. I know it."

"Oh, come here you." Then she began hugging him to her side. "Who am I kidding? I'm sure I'll do just fine. My parents will still teach me about ruling a kingdom. Kovu will help me too."

Just then, Tiifu came running up to the two, looking desperate. "Kiara, Kiara!" she panted. "Zuri needs your help."

Both brother and sister got up in a confused look. "What is it, Tiifu?" asked Kiara

"Zuri can't get out of a small mud hole. And she hates it when too much mud is all over herself."

Kiara couldn't help but give an irritated look. "Seriously? This is getting silly." Indeed, this sounded like a regular habit for one of Kiara's close friends. "Where is she now? I'm getting sick of doing this thing for her. Zuri can't keep asking for my help for stupid reasons whatever."

"I know, but we are her friends." Said Tiifu. "And we have to be there for her."

"I know, I know." And she looked at her brother. "Sorry Kion, I gotta take care of my friend, but I'll be back in a few minutes. You can come with me if you want."

"Nah. I'll be fine. I'm not really going anywhere." And he laid himself on the grass, on his belly. "You won't take long, will you?"

"No. Of course not." Kiara replied. "This will just take a few minutes... depending on how stubborn Zuri will be."

"She'll be back, Lion." Tiifu reassured. "If Zuri won't listen to Kiara, she will at least listen to me."

"Okay, I'll wait here."

"Just he careful."

"Don't worry, Kiara, i'll Be just fine."

then the future queen hurriedly went off to fine her other best friend from a... muddy situation. Kion was alone for the time being, and he sat around and waited for his big sister to come hurry back to him.

Little did he know that, he was not alone. No, someone was watching him the bushes, waiting to strike out at him. Kion was completely oblivious to notice something fishy in the bushes. All of a sudden, a figure jumped out in a wolf-like growl, and tried to pounce on Kion, but he was able to dodge just in time.

Rolling out of the way in a left direction, Kion was taken by surprise, but it was only Janja, he arch-nemesis. 'Why Kion, fancy meeting you here out in the Pride Lands, eh?"

"Janja? I could ask the same thing."

"Just out for a little stroll in the grass, Looking for lunch, and now, I i can finally get rid of you." He looked quite sinister, and gritted his sharp teeth. "With you dead, nothing can stop me and my clan from catching and eating whatever we want, when I want to do it."

"Janja, What is your problem with me? What did I ever do to hurt you?"

they both began circling around one another in a slow fashion. "My problem, runt," Said Janja, "is you! You are always in the way of me and my food. Cheesi, Chungu, and my other clan just want to survive and eat out here."

"But hyenas eat carrion, not live animals. Why can't you just do it like that?"

"Uh, hello? Because carrion is disgusting, just rotting flesh and bones." Janja replied. "You lions got the easy life of being adored by everyone around you because of your position as rulers over these lands."

Kion raised his left eyebrow, and finally said: "You think we lions have the easy life? We hunt to eat, and my parents have great responsibility keeping the Pride Lands in check."

"Heh, well your parents aren't here! You're all alone out here. Say, Why aren't you with your team anyway?"

"I'm... having a day off today to spend with my sister. Kovu is leading the Lion Guard right now."

"On isn't that sweet." Said Janja in mock-sympathy. "You hanging out with your big sister, the future queen. How nice."

"Well, it doesn't matter. There's only one of me and only one of you, just us."

Janja made a small chuckle, and said: "oh?" Before a bunch of other hyenas came out of the grass to try and attack Kion, Cheezi and Chungu were among them, since they were his closest followers. "You were saying?"

"Uh-oh." He muttered. He was completely outmatched from ten to twenty spotted hyenas to one one lion cub. Despite them having so many more numbers than him, Kion stood in a battle pose, ready to fight any incoming hyena from the clan. "Looks like we're gonna have a stand-off, boys."

One hyena on the left charge at Kion, but the cub jumped and clawed his back. Another one came at him, only to be swiped by his right paw in the face like a slap, knocking him to the ground.

Even more of the clan was trying to charge and bite Kion with their canines, and one of them already clawed Kion on his left side, making him grunt in pain.

It was Cheezi, who began laughing wildly at the cub's pain. "Hyena got your tail? Hahaha!"

"Yeah, got your tail!" Chungu teased after. "Not so good a leader, aren't ya?"

"You ain't nothing without your friends to help ya out."

"Aboslutely nothing without your friends!" Cheezi repeated.

"Shut up, Cheezi, I got this!" Janja scolded in annoyance. Despite being outnumbered, Kion decided to use his roar to scare them away.

"Get out!" He shouted as he roared. This made all the hyenas ran away in comlete fear and terror.

"You cowards!" Janja called out. He wasn't running, no, he was the most clever, and the bravest member of his little gang. "Gah, looks like it's just you and me now, kid." He charged at Kion and tried swiping him with his claws, but the cub was swiping him with his own paws.

Janja then Charged at his left side, knocking him to the ground. Before Kion could even act, he felt a sharp pain on his back. The hyena was trying to chomp on him with his bite force."

"Agh! Get off me!" Kion shouted as he was struggling. With all his strength, he flipped a Janja over, landed on his back with a thud. Now he was on top of his rival, and swiped his chest with his claws.

"Oh, you little runt!" Feeling another slap to the face, he angrily kicked Kion off, and tried charging at him with his mouth open, with the intention of bitten him. At the last second, the cub sidestepped to the right, and latched his teeth on the hyena's left hind-leg. "Grrrr, Get off me!" Shouted Janja. He was spinning, trying to throw Kion off, even bucking him off, but to no avail..

At last, after many seconds of pain, Janja could stand it no longer, and kicked him in the face with his right hind-leg.

Kion was trying to get up again, only to have his throat being pressed on by Janja's front paws. He was trying to strangle him to death, and suffocate the life out of him, and he smiled wickedly. "Now, you will suffer for always being a nuisance to me. Now, you will never bother my meals ever again!"

"You'll pay for this, Janja." Kion gagged. He was slowly starting to feel his vision go blurry, and felt like he was going to die. Before his eyes could fully close, he felt the weight on his neck being lifted.

He looked and it was Kiara, roaring angrily at Janja. They were both rolling, trying to bite one another, but the sister eventually pinned him to the ground, teeth barred, fierce and angry on her face. It looked like she was going to kill him for ambushing her own brother like that.

"Get away from my brother!" She said in a threatening voice.

Janja tried throwing her off, and ended up tumbling with her again, snapping their jaws at one another. Despite his best efforts, Janja was easily overpowered by Kiara, and threw him into a tree. After he got up, he said: "Kiara, nice to see you again."

"If you ever come near my brother again, I swear to you, I will rip your throat out." Kiara threatened him.

"Ha! I would love to see ha try-"

Before Janja could finish, he was suddenly slapped in the face with Kiara's left paw.

"Leave, now." Now Kiara looked even more scary to him than she did before. Realizing he couldn't win against her, Janja looked terrified, and looked at Kiara in the eye, knowing that she was not fooling around, and tan away in terror, yelping like a wounded or frightened dog.

Kion was sure glad Kiara came to his aid like that. He didn't know what he would be without her. He got back up on his feet.

"Kion!" Said Kiara. "I saw the roar from Pride Rock."

"I'm fine. Thanks to you." Her brother replied gratefully. It was just then Kovu and the other members of the Lion Guard came in on the scene.

"What happened?" Said Kovu. "Ee saw the Roar of the Elders ten Miles from here."

"Janja tried to ambush me while Kiara was helping Zuri with a mud problem." Kion explained

"Are you hurt, Kion?" Asked Fuli

"No. Kiara came and saved me from Janja before he could... finish me off."

"Good."

"Wait, what happened to you, Kovu?" Kiara noticed his mane a little messed up.

"We... had a run-in with Reirei and her family. They put up quite a fight, but we managed to drive them away."

"Yeah, thanks to my stinky smell." Bunga boasted.

The other lion guard members looked at him with narrowed eyes. "I highly doubt that was the reason." Said Beshte.

"Well, how are you guys doing out here?" Kovu asked the siblings.

"Just fine. But. I think I should call it a day." Kion remarked. "It's already been about... three hours or something like that."

"Three and a half." Kiara corrected him.

"And who knew being the leader of the lion guard would be tough like this. You make it look so easy, Kion." Said Kovu

"Well, it's not easy for anyone to be leader of the Lion Guard, period."

"I guess I am a little tired from all that running." Said Kiara. "I can use a little rest right now."

"And there's no more danger in the Pride Lands for today." Said Ono. "Everything looks pretty safe around here now."

"Okay, let's go home, Kion." Said Kiara.

"I better get back too," said Fuli. "I need to hunt for food."

Then Kovu, Kiara, and Kion went back to Pride Rock while the Lion Guard members went back to their own homes. When they got back Simba and Nala were sitting at the tip of the rock, looking at the valley below them. "Did you two have fun?" Said Nala.

Kion and Kiara nodded a yes to their mother. "We had so much fun, mom." Said the younger brother.

"Did you two eat anything?" Said Simba.

"Yep. We hunted together."

"Good. Do you all need anything?"

"No, not really." Said Kiara. "We're just fine."

"Well alright. Just checking on you two." Then the two siblings and Kovu went inside the spire, and rested together. This turned out a nice day for a day off for little Kion to be with his big sister. Kovu also did rather alright being a leader of the Lion Guard for one day.

One thing for certain was that Kion and Kiara hoped they can do more stuff like this together someday.
