When they got there Rafiki worked hard on fixing her up the best he could. Kali had a few scars but would heal just fine.
While he did that Simba, Nala and Kovu were worried sick. Kovu was pacing back and forth while Simba tried to calm Nala down.
A few hours later Rafiki appeared. Everyone looked up at him and waited.
"She'll survive. She has many scars and places she's never going to fully heal. But will be fine." Rafiki said.
Everyone sighed in relief.
"Thank you Rafiki." Simba said.
"You're welcome Simba, Nala."
"Can go see her?" Kovu asked.
"Yes. Just be careful, she's still unconscious." Everyone nodded and went to go see her.
When they got there Kovu laid down next to Kiara and gave her a lick.
"Don't worry Kovu, she'll survive." Vitani said.
A few seconds later they heard someone moan. They all looked at Kiara and hoped it was her.
Then she slowly opened her eyes. "Kovu?" she said quietly.
He gave her a lick and nodded. "You feeling ok?"
"Yeah, just sore in places. How long have I been out?" she said.
"The sun is setting right now." he said.
She nodded and saw her parents and brother.
"Hi mom, daddy, Kali."
"Are you ok sweetie?" Nala asked.
She nodded. "Kali, Caley are you two ok?"
"Yeah, I ran and got the grownups while you kept them busy." Caley said.
"Good, Kal?"
"I'm fine, some scars but I'm fine. Thanks for saving me and Cal." Kali said.
"Well, as a big sister it's my job to protect you. And as princess and adult it's up to me to protect the cubs." She smiled.
"When she becomes queen she's going to be very protective and a very good one." Simba said smiling. Nala nodded and smiled proudly.
Then Rafiki appeared to check on her. "A Kiara, how do you feel?"
"Not bad. Sore but pretty good." she said.
"Alright, when you feel ready you can get home. But I want you to stay home for a while and heal the best you can. Some parts of you aren't going to be fully healed." he said.
Kiara nodded and looked at Kovu.
"I think I'm ready to get home, I'm gonna need some help though."
He smiled and nodded. "What do you need?"
"Just let me put most of my weight on you please." she said.
He nodded and helped her stand. While she did that she winced.
"You ok?" Vitani asked.
"Yeah, it's not gonna be easy to move for a while though." She started to walk and lean on Kovu.
"Thanks for the help Rafiki." she said smiling.
"You're welcome Kiara. Be careful." he said smiling back.
When they started to head home Kiara was slow and held on Kovu. When they got home he helped her lay down and get some more rest.
As the time went on she was getting her strength back and could take care of herself again. She started hunting again and everything was back to what it once was.
She kept an eye on Kali and Caley as usual but spent time with her friends, herself and with Kovu. Everything was fine.
