First thing first, thanks Jason Chandler for the review. Really appreciate it.
Enjoy Chapter Nine.
Kiara blinked her eyes open and found that she was in her grandmother's arms.
Uru woke up soon after to see Kiara looking around the cave."Morning, sweetie."
Kiara turned her head and seen Uru standing up."Morning Grandma."
Uru nuzzled and licked her grandcub's head and said,"How about a tour, then you can tell grandma what happened?"
Kiara hesitated before following the brownish coated lioness.
-O-
"Ahadi, it's good to see you." said Jaha smiling once she saw the former Pridelands king and her brother in-law.
"Jaha, what's going on in my son's kingdom?"
Alistair sighed and said, "Ahadi, it's not easy to say this but Mufasa's dead."
Ahadi's amber eyes widen as he growled, "Taka!"
Jaha nodded and said,"We believe so, we going find out."
Ahadi looked at the dark cream coated queen with a raised eyebrow and asked, "How?"
Before Jaha could reply she heard the voice of Uru.
"Honey, what are you doing here?"
Ahadi walked over and nuzzled his long time mate and said, "I heard that the Pride Lands are in danger and that Taka could be behind it."
Uru sighed deeply, "I don't believe it and you can't judge him until we get answers."
Jaha nodded and said,"That leaves us to Kiara."
"Me!?" the princess gulped.
"Her, who's this?"
As Ahadi been away he didn't get word about Mufasa having a cub.
Uru nuzzled the light beige cub before looking at her mate, "Ahadi, this is our grandcub, Kiara."
Ahadi looked down at the cub and smiled.
"Kiara, can you tell us what happened?" Jaha asked as she sat down.
Kiara pinned her ears and lowered her head."I can, but you'll tell me to run away like Uncle Scar did."
The adults shared a look before looking back at the princess.
"Take it easy Kiara and tell us everything." Alistair said softly sitting down.
Kiara took deep breath before saying, "It all started when my cousin Kovu woke me up saying that daddy had a surprise for me..."
-O-
The Pride Lands animals gathered at the base of Pride Rock. Sarabi and Sarafina watched as Scar and his mate, Pena take the throne.
Tears fell as the dark beige lioness remembered when she and Mufasa was crowned king and queen. Just then Sarabi felt a sharp pain in her lower stomach.
"Sarabi!" Sarafina cried as she saw her friend slump to the ground.
"I-think the cub's coming!"
-O-
"Ahadi, are you alright?"
Ahadi sighed and said, "I don't know what to be at the moment. Or more angry with. The fact that he killed his own brother or that he blamed our innocent grandaughter for his crime!"
Uru nuzzled Ahadi and said, "I believe the later is wrost."
"Grandpa, Grandma are you mad at me?"
Ahadi and Uru brung Kiara close and said,"Of course not. It was accident, sweetie."
Kiara smiled as her grandparents nuzzled her. The adults figured out Scar's evil plan but decided to tell Kiara when she's older.
-O-
A loud roar echoed through the kingdom, making birds scathered.
"Push Sarabi!" Sarafina encourged.
Sarabi had tears in her eyes as she gave her all as she pushed.
"Congrats, Sarabi you have a heathy boy." smiled Rafiki as he handed the cub to the former queen.
"I must go now, but you and your son are competely heathy." smiled Rafiki before heading toward his tree.
"Can we come in?" Simba asked as he and Nala stuck their heads in the cave.
Sarafina nodded with a small laugh before looking at her friend and new cub. Sarabi just got finished cleaning the cub, the cub had Sarabi's dark beige pelt with Mufasa's amber eyes and a small dark red tuff on his head.
"He's handsome, what are you going to name him?" Nala asked as she looked at the sleeping cub.
Sarabi smiled and said "I feel now that pieces of my heart has been restored. I think I'll name Kopa."
Sarafina and her cubs smiled as the creamy lioness said, "A perfect name."
-O-
"Watch out!"
Kiara was sitting by a lake when she felt something run into her. Kiara rolled a few feet before pinning the force down. When Kiara's sences returned she saw that a light brown coated cub was under her.
Kiara smiled sheepisly as she moved to the side."Sorry!"
The cub got up and shook his fur from the dirt before looking at Kiara."It's okay, I'm the one who ran into you anyway."
"Sãhasí!"
Kiara and the light brown coated cub turned to see a tannish coated cub come running over.
"Asani, don't be rude. Oh who am I kidding", the light brown cub looks from his friend to Kiara and said, "This is one of my good friends Asani and I'm Sãhasí."
Kiara smiled and said, "Pleased to meet you, I'm Kiara."
Sãhasí smiled and said, "We're about to meet up with our other friend to watch the adults spar. Wanna come?"
Kiara nodded and followed the male cubs to the sparring field.
