Kovu carryed Kiara on his back to Pride Rock.

Simba was at the ledge of Pride Rock looking for Kiara and Kovu.

Nala walked up to him and ask "they haven't returned yet?"

Simba sighs and says "I'm worried about them."

Nala sighs "Kiara went looking for Kovu when he disappeared earlier."

Simba turns around and says "Kovu went missing?"

Nala nods her head "yes and if anyone can track him down it's her."

Simba turns back to look out into the pridelands to see a lion carrying a lioness.

Simba and Nala waited until the two lions walked the side to see Kovu carrying Kiara.

Simba ask "what happened to her and why is her paws covered in blood along with her mouth?"

Kovu sighs and says "you wouldn't believe me if I told you what happened but can I explain in the morning? I had to carry her from the outlands."

Nala answers "yes, you can brief us in the morning."

Kovu carried Kiara into the royal den and laid her down and laid down beside her.

Next morning, Kovu walked out to the ledge of Pride Rock and sat there staring at the pridelands.

Simba walked outside to see Kovu sitting there at the ledge and ask "Kovu?"

Kovu turned to see Simba and ask "do you want me to tell you what happened last night?"

Simba nods his head "yes."

Kovu starts with "I was sitting next to Kiara when Shannon walked over by a boulder and followed her then Janja and Shenzi kidnapped me bringing me to the outlands for revenge against Kion.

After that I was warning them that if they harm me, that they would pay big time, but they came closer to me and then Kiara roared like you but not as deep as yours then she attacked them clawing and biting, shedding their flesh to pieces.

After she was done she whispered "no one harms my husband then passes out."

Simba looks back at the royal den seeing his daughter doing that to two hyenas.

Nala woke up to Kiara freaking out saying "stay away from him" and goes and gets Kovu who was outside the den with Simba talking. Kovu, Kiara's having a nightmare about you.

Kovu runs in the royal den and nuzzles Kiara whispering "I'm here, Kiara, we're back at Pride Rock."

Kiara grabs Kovu's head bringing him down to her snuggling more into his fur calming down.

Kovu whispers "I'm here Kiara, I'm here."

Kovu rubbed Kiara's back causing her to purr in her sleep.

Kion walked in the royal den after Simba informed the lion guard on what happened last night.

Kion taps Kovu's shoulder and ask "how is she doing?"

Kovu answers "fine for now."

Kion sighs "I'm sorry, Kovu for that."

Kovu ask "for what?"

Kion answers "for putting you in danger."

Kovu replies "you didn't put me in danger, it was Shannon."

Kion ask "what do you mean?"

Kovu answers "she set me up to get kidnapped."

Kion sighs "me and the lion guard will look into it for you."

Kovu goes back to sleep with Kiara holding him down snuggled into his fur sleeping soundly.

Simba walked in the royal den to see Kiara snuggled in Kovu's fur still sleeping and walks out to go see Nala and Maeva.

Noon came, Kiara woke up to see she was snuggled up in Kovu's fur and ask "Kovu?"

Kovu ask "yes, sweetie?"

Kiara licks his cheek and says "I'm glad you're alive."

Kovu sighs "Kiara you nearly killed Janja and Shenzi."

Kiara ask "I did what?"

Kovu sighs again and explains to her what happened last night.

Kiara looks at her paws.

Kovu says "Kiara, I know why you did it and it's okay to feel like this, you saved me."

Kiara answers "I did it because I love you and I can't live without you."

Kovu nuzzles Kiara again and ask "are you fine now?"

Kiara smiles and smirks "I am when we're together."

Kovu smiles and ask "are you hungry?"

Kiara nods her head "yes."

Kovu and Kiara head out to hunt for some food.

Kion and the lion guard were looking for Shannon around the pridelands.

Ono looked from the sky for her until he spotted her talking to Moto, Ryan and Tiffany.

Kion runs up to them with the lion guard and ask "Shannon, what happened yesterday?"

Shannon ask "what do you mean?"

Fuli ask "why did you set Kovu up to be kidnapped for?"

Tiffany ask "Shannon, you set Kovu up to be kidnapped?"

Shannon bows her head and says "yes."

Kion ask "why did you do that for?"

Shannon answers "they threatened to kill my parents if I didn't help them."

Kion ask "why didn't you come to me for help?"

Shannon sighs "if I did, they would of ran off to go kill them, if you would of confronted them."

Kion looks at Fuli and says "you might want to watch your back because my sister might come after you" and leaves with the lion guard.

Fuli ask "Kion, why did you let her walk for?"

Kion sighs "because she was forced to do it, but at least no more Janja or Shenzi bothering us again."

Kovu and Kiara finished their lunch and decided to go lay down and rest by the watering hole.

Sarafina comes over with Mheetu and ask "how are you two doing?"

Kiara answers "good."

Sarafina smirks "I heard about you taking out those two hyenas by yourself to save Kovu."

Kiara blushes at saying save Kovu.

Mheetu ask "are we going to go see daddy now?"

Sarafina answers "yes we are."

Sarafina leaves with Mheetu to go see Ni.

Kovu ask "Kiara, what would you like to do?"

Kiara answers "go play hide and seek with mom and dad."

Kovu and Kiara walked to find Nala and Simba.

Kion and the lion guard came to see Kovu and Kiara.

Kovu tells Kion "hi."

Kion tells him "I need to talk to you for a minute."

Kovu ask "what's up?"

Kion takes a breath and says "Shannon was forced to set you up."

Kovu ask "what do you mean by that?"

Kion answers "Janja threatened her parents."

Kovu sighs thinking about Shannon's parents and ask "where is she?"

Fuli answers "she's with Moto by the tree next to the pond."

Kiara ask "your not gonna threaten her are you?"

Kovu goes looking for Moto and Shannon.

Kiara goes looking for her mom and dad.

Kovu finds Moto at the pond and ask "where's Shannon?"

Moto ask "your not gonna beat her, are you?"

Kovu shakes his head "no. I came here to talk to her."

Moto says "well she's not here anyway."

Kovu sighs "well, when she comes back, can you tell her I forgive her."

Kovu left to go back to where the lion guard is.

Kiara ask her mom "can you and dad play hide and seek with me and the cubs?"

Nala smiles and says "well lets go ask your father in the royal den."

(Inside the royal den)

Simba was sleeping in the royal den still recovering from the injuries a little.

Nala walked in the royal den with Kiara and taps Simba and tells him "our daughter and our step-son wants us to play hide and seek with them."

Simba yawns a little and ask "what?"

Nala tells him again what she said.

Simba sighs "I guest I could play a game of hide or seek or better yet" and gets up and says "tag" tagging Kiara and says "no tag backs" running away from them.

Kiara ask "mom how do I tag dad?"

Nala whispers in her ear making her laugh and says "thanks mom."

Kiara runs to go find Kovu.

Simba hid in the tall grass.

Kovu walked up to the side of Pride Rock to bump into Kiara and ask "did you ask your-"

Kiara interrupts him and says "Kovu, me and you are playing tag with mom and dad."

Kovu ask "who's it."

Kiara smirks "Kovu did I ever tell you how much I love doing this?"

Kovu ask "doing what-"

Kiara pounces on Kovu and kisses his muzzle and says "tag your it."

Kovu smirks "no fair-"

Kiara whispers in his ear for him to tag dad in the tall grass by the watering hole.

Kovu walks to the watering hole and yells for "Simba?"

Simba lays still in the grass until Kovu taps Simba on his side and says "Kiara told me to tell you, tag your it and no tag backs."

Simba ask "wait when did Kiara tag you?"

Nala and Kiara stood up from the tall grass laughing "got you, Simba."

Simba calls "Nala."

Nala stops laughing and ask "what darling?"

Simba smirks "sweetheart you better start running because your gonna be it."

Nala smirks "oh you think you can catch me?"

Simba and Nala played with Kovu and Kiara, Vitani, Kion, Rani, Bunga, Beshte, Fuli, Ono, Tiifu, Zuri, Tiffany, Ryan, Shannon, Moto.

That night they stargazed under the night sky as a family.
