CandyLuv99; Nala is just disgraceful. Like her father.

RyanSquad; Kion is still finding himself and while he's searching, he's going to feel hurt and guilt about what he done.

Appreciate the wonderful reviews, enjoy!

A few weeks has passed since Kovu and Taka was reluctantly accepted into the pride.

Royal Mjuzi in-training, Bareea was currently on her way to the waterhole when she saw Taka. With a smile, she trotted over.

"Morning,"

Taka growled before turning to face the apporching goldish-yellow lioness. "I could of sworn I said I wasn't interested in friends."

Bareea should of felt offended but she rolled it off as she rolled her shoulders. Before sighing, "The king asked me to show you around."

It was partly true, Simba and Rafiki asked her to show the cold-hearted lion around. Which she was bit too glad to do.

"Sorry to disappoint but I'll show myself around." Taka snapped. "I don't need any tour guide."

With that the brownish lion walked off, leaving Bareea falling a bit harder. She absolutely couldn't explain these feelings. She should want to give him a scar like his grandfather or something. Anything but stand there and swoon.

"He's some hero, huh?"

Bareea turned to see Kiara with Sarabi who had reached a month a day ago, along with a bit over a year Annalisa and a bit over two month old pale beige cub that Bareea knew as Izayoi's son, Severus.

Kiara rolled her green eyes before smiling at her good friend. "Don't pay any attention to Annalisa. He's probably just setting in. Besides, you like him don't you?"

Bareea lowered her head as she pinned her ears. "I got it bad but it's so damn frustrating."

Kiara didn't know about the plan to assassinate Simba but she understood. She loves Simba and would do anything for him but it's a headache to wake-up and pretend everything is normal.

"Mommy, when are we going to see the cheetahs?" Sarabi asked pawing at her mother's leg.

Kiara smiled, brushing any thoughts about Simba aside before bending down and nuzzled her daughter. "Now." Kiara looked at her friends and cousin. "Guys, I have to go. But I'll see you later."

After Kiara and Sarabi left, Annalisa and Severus departed as well.

With a deep breath, Bareea headed for one of the fields that wasn't used for training. Soon Bareea's sights was locked on a old male antelope.

The goldish-yellow lioness got low to the ground, and stalked closer. She was about to give chase when...

"You'll never catch prey like that!" a cold voice sneered.

Bareea huffed, already knowing who it was. Standing up, Bareea sighed before turning to face the emotionless Taka. "You don't seem like the caring type."

Taka scoffed. "I don't." before growling as he turned his head. "I just don't want to be embarrassed."

Bareea raised a eyebrow as she stared at him confusingly. "Shouldn't I be the one embarrassed?"

Taka chuckled. "Yes...and no. Now that I'm a part of the pride, I'll be embarrassed to have a pride member who don't know how to hunt!"

Bareea felt annoyed as she rolled her brown eyes and began to walk away. "I can take care of myself, thank you very much!"

"I doubt it." Taka made little effort to reached Bareea's side before blocking her path much like he did with Kiara. He smiled and the smugness was very clear. "So, you think you can take care of yourself as a rogue? Huh?"

Bareea placed a confident smirk on her muzzle. "You wanna bet?"

"I hate to make you eat your words."

Bareea set off at a fast walk with a grin. "Oh, you won't."

Taka grinned as well before trotting off after the eager lioness.

Instead of hunting, they unintentionally angered some elephants causing the lead female to charge at them.

After getting some distance away, they stopped in a area surrounded by tall, swaying grass. Taking deep breaths, Bareea turned to Taka.

"Haha! Did you see the look on her face! Priceless!"

Taka took deep breaths before he laughed, "Yeah that was funny."

Bareea smiled, "You're not a stick in the mud after all."

Taka snorted, "I can have fun."

Bareea rolled her eyes, "Yeah, now!"

Taka smirked mischievously before tagging the goldish-yellow lioness and running off.

"Hey!" Bareea growled before running after the brownish lion.

Bareea chased after him before she pounced and sent the two rolling which ended with Bareea on the bottom.

"Who's the stick in the mud?" Taka smirked, face dangerously close, taunting.

Bareea blushed and before she knew what she was doing she reached up and licked Taka across the cheek. Taka was stunned as he looked at the lioness under him.

Bareea snapped out of her trance and stared at the lion. "I'm...so...sorry!"

Taka was quiet for a few moments before growling, "No you're not!"

Bareea's eyes widened as she laid on the ground, frozen.

"You like me! Don't you?!"

Bareea closed her eyes and blushed, "Is it that oblivious?"

Taka smirked, "Very." then he lowered his muzzled to her ear, "Do you want me to make your wildest dreams come true?"

Bareea could only nod her head, her voice lost some where. Taka smirked in satisfaction before licking the muzzle of the lioness under him.

As the sun began to set, the two began to tangle in a passion of lust and blinding love.

...

"Hey Ky!"

Kion was deep in thought. He couldn't stop thinking about that kiss. Yes it was accidental but why does it feel so amazing?

"Kion? Is something wrong?"

The goldish lion shook his head before looking at Kenna who had a concerned look in her dark green eyes. "Huh? You say something?"

Kenna frowned before placing a paw over her friend's. "Kion. If there's anything you want to talk about...I'm here."

To be honest, Kion felt relieved. She offered, before that he knew that he could talk to her. But it's been eating at him if he should bother her which such problems. Then, his fears of what she may think. Kenna by far was the closest friend he had and he didn't want to lose that.

"Kion?" Kenna pressed.

But he needed to figure things out. With a deep breath, he faced the dull beige lioness. "Promise you won't hate me?"

Kenna frowned before she reached over and nuzzled him. "I could never."

Kion inhaled and exhaled. "IkissedRajaandIlikedit."

Kenna stared with wide eyes as she listened. He said it in one breath but she caught it. "You kissed my brother?"

Kion nodded. "It was by accident but even before that I have been having really confusing thoughts and feelings containing him."

Kenna smiled. Now understanding the please don't hate him plead. Kion was figuring out he's gay or bi-sexaul considering he did have feelings for a lioness before.

But it's no secret that those relationships are looked down upon. Minus her, it's their life. You don't choose who you fall in love with.

"Kion. It's simple really. You're into lions. Males to be exact."

Kion looked at his friend like she had grown a extra head. "I'm not gay!"

Kenna smirked before standing. "But you are. You totally have feelings for Raja. My advice to you...tell him how you feel."

Kion said no more. He was conflicted with thoughts and emotions. If what Kenna said was true and he did have feelings for Prince Raja. Did Raja feel the same?
