Over at pride rock, two cubs emerge from the cave, one had a small turf od red hair on his head while the other just had fur on the top of his head going in an awkward looking cow lick.
"Wow" the mane less cub said as he started to decend but was caught by Simba who picked him up and placed back at pride rock.
He giggled as he and his brother tried to get away from their father but Simba was quick and caught one of his's sons with his massive paw. " where do you think your going in such a hurry?" he asked.
"Dad!" The cub tried to push his paw away " let go" he told his father.
" I just want you to be.." Simba was cut off as his sons were trying to catch a butterfly, Simba stepped on one of their tails to get their attention. "Kiango, Kion are you two listening?" he asked. Both cubs stopped and looked at Simba. " Accidents can happen"
"You can ether get hurt" Kiango started to recite
"Or stepped on" the red mane cub named Kion responded. Both brothers looked at each other
"Or even get lost" they both said at the same time.
" Boys I want you to stay in sight of pride rock.." Kiango interrupted his father.
"At all times I know, and if I see any strangers don't talk to them" he then did a mocking march "come straight home". Simba gave his son a look that was clearly saying 'would you rather stay home instead' vibe.
"Mind your father boys" Nala called from behind them and went over to sit next to Simba.
"Yes mom" Kion responded.
"And stay away from the outlands" Simba warned his cubs, Zazu flew in and landed next to the cubs.
"Nothing their but a bunch on murderous back stabbing outsiders" He made his comment.
" Zazu's right" The king agreed " you can't turn you back on them.
"Really?" Kiango asked "how come?"Simba quickly changed the subject, Kiango wanted to know why but his brother insisted they take the opportunity to get going.
" Be back before sun sets" Simba told them " Zuri's family are coming to visit. Kiango cringed while Kion laughed.
Zuri was Kiango's betrothal as Simba told him, but to Kiango Zuri is the most boring snobby female cub he's ever met, Tiifu, Zuri's best friend on the other hand is the complete opposite, Why could she be his betrothal, he glared at his brother who go luckly with Tiifu while he had Zuri.
As soon as the cubs disappeared into the tall savanna grass, Simba walked over to his Childhood friends Timon and Pumbaa.
" Timon Pumbaa I need to go after the boys" he asked the meerkat and warthog " you know they are bound to run off".
" Don't worry were on them like a stink on a warthog" Timon told the lion, Simba rolled his eyes on that comment.
…..
Kiango and Kion got far from pride rock, the two brothers started to wrestle with each other then they both spotted the butterfly. Kiango being stealthy sneaked up on the butterfly that landed on a rock and leaped at the little insect but missed. He wasn't phased for he saw the out lands behind the rock.
"Whoa" he stated " Hey Kion get up here" he looked behind but Kion was gone. Kiango looked around for his brother, that until the tree branch shook, looking up Kion dropped from the branch and manage to shove his brother into the small pool of water.
" Got ya" kion laughed.
" KION!" a voiced called making the cub leap off the rock and into the water, both cubs looked up to see Pumbaa and Timon looking down at them.
" Now Kiango and Kion as cubs you know better then to go off with out us" Pumbaa started to lecture " you two could have been hurt"
Kiango tried to explain but Timon was all over them, checking his spine, forehead and paws for any damages.
"Timon were just fine!" Kiango told him " Kion and I were just playing"
Timon was only half listening when he spotted a log. " that's good, I'm hungry" he walked over to the log, Pumbaa lifted the log with his tusks, Timon grabbed a leaf a scooped up the bugs on to it.
Kiango and Kion stuck out their tongues in disgust as their bay sister would eat bugs right in front of them.
"Doesn't that honey badger friend of yours eat bugs like them?" he whispered. Kion rolled his eyes at that comment, he then spotted and opportunity to sneak away, taping his brother on the arm he pointed over to an opening, both cubs manage to sneak away.
…..
Kiango lead Kion away from the marked path and over to the ledge to the out lands.
"Kiango stop" Kion said then grabbed his brother by the tail." You know were not supposed to go near the outlands.
"Ah come on" Kiango took a step further towards the ledge he faced his twin " see I not in the out…" the ledge gave way, the cub fell onto a small bank. He looked up Kion stood looking over worried.
"Kiango, you ok?" he asked. Kiango checked himself all over nothing broken or sprain from the fall.
"I'm fine" He responded, "help me get out".
"I'm getting Timon and Pumbaa" Kion called to his brother then ran off.
" Kion?" Kiango called " KION!" He tried to climb but the dirt wall was too soft so he slid back to the bank, that when he heard some growing and turning around he noticed crocodiles were coming near him. Kiango wonder if this was going to be the end of him, the future king of the pridelands. he shut his eyes preparing for the worst, but nothing happened
" Move" he heard a voice. Opening his eyes their was a cream colored cub on top of a crocodile, she looked back at the cub " quickly follow me" she commanded, Kiango followed her across the makeshift crocodile bridge then leaped up on a old log , the two cubs climbed up and are now safe in the pride lands.
I'm adding some of the Lion guard characters here. So in this Senario , Zuri is Kiango's betrothal while Kion is to marry Tiifu...
Next Chapter. Who's the cub that saved Kiango...
