+Money100, Thanks for reading again! sorry for the long wait 😊

Chapter 17

The prince moved swiftly in the setting night. He made sure to avoid any of his pride members who could distract him for his mission. While Nala lay asleep beside him, all he could do was think of her and Ingine. How Nala had to defend herself alone, without him at her side…and all because of Ingine. She was getting what she wanted! To get Nala alone and defenseless- He could not let her get away with anything. He had to let her know she had crossed the line. Mess with him all she wanted- but Nala and his unborn cub. That's another story. When he came to the side den way on the east side, across from pride rock, he stopped. He looked around, it was quiet. Finally he pushed any thought of hesitation out of his mind. He went in.

"Ingine? Ingine!" a lump of fur slowly rose her head in the direction of the noise. You could see her cheek was still swollen with a slightly purplish tint. Nala had gotten her good. That made him happy on the inside. Ingine looked at him dully.

"What do you want? I wasn't expecting company…at least not this early."

"I heard what you did." he voiced confronting her.

"Me? I've been here all day-"

"Cut the crap, okay!" the grey lioness rolled her eyes. And suddenly got up and approached the red mane male. Her eyes intensely on him.

"She hits harder than I thought, I'll give her that."

"If you ever go near her again, it will be the last thing you do…"

"If you haven't noticed, I'm the one you got stuck!"

"You threaten her and our cub!"

"She made me LOSE mine!"

"She didn't anything to you! YOU did this to yourself. You came here and ruined her life and mine! But you know what I'm tired of telling you this- maybe if you stopped being the victim and actually thought about what you were doing your cub would have survived. You are filled with too much hate to see anything clear! Your cub died because of you!" Ingine stood frozen saying nothing, she was motionless. "I don't know what your little plan was but its won't work. If you thought, you would separate us- think again! if she ever comes back to me telling me you threaten her again, exile would be the WON'T be the nicest option for you. Not while I'm alive, and we're still together." Oh, so she gave him? The two love birds finally got back together? Thought Ingine. Well she didn't plan on that- actually nothing was going her way. And soon she would have to leave the pride lands for good. She would have to make her move soon- "In Fact, no I'm done with dealing with you. Let see what my parents have to think of this with you threatening the future queen and their heir-"

"NO! don't!" busted Ingine. " I'm sorry-"

"pssh pleases"

"Simba No please please! You're right everything is my fault! I'm a terrible lioness I know this!" she got in front of him but he pushed her aside. Dammit no, he can't tell them! At least not yet! She grabbed him by his paw, trying to stop him. "I'll leave I'll leave tomorrow! I'll be out of this pride and your life forever!"

"I want you gone NOW. by morning, I better not see a sign of you!" his teeth bared down on her. She quickly let him got and backed away.

"You have my word…I'll be done for good…" he eyed her one last time, before disappearing from her sight. Leaving a chill running down her spine. Everything was happening too fast for her- how could the plan work itself out if she rushed everything?...mmmh maybe, just maybe , this was the kick in the butt she needed to get herself into action. Ingine looked before herself out into the darkness of the great African night. "Perfect…" she spoke as she crept outside.

Meanwhile, traveling back towards pride rock Simba could only think about how good things finally felt. Finally after so many nights being miserable- he could now sleep easy, at least about somethings. Honestly the whole ordeal still seemed like something hard to grab, but as soon as his cub came into the world he would tell them his story, because NOTHING good can happen after midnight and that you should just GO HOME.

"Dude shut up!" said a voice snapping Simba back into reality. Was that? "Tojo I swear to the kings I'm going to punch you in the face one day." Yup his boys.

"Boys clam down, it's not that serious." Tama?...yea the voice with a major side hint of 'sass, and I don't care' in it. and you could hear kula giggling along with everything, yup it was the gang. And it sounded like they were headed right in his direction. He paused, should be go another way? I mean it's not like he's hung out with his friends…in like years. Okay maybe not years but the pass few month snice the whole ordeal happened. He somewhat stayed away from them, and they him- will mainly Kula and Tama. Malka and Tojo weren't going to make any judgements, til they heard his side of the story. Which they did, and he could tell they believe him, but it was still something to wrap their minds around. And even with that, he still felt truly awkward about being with his friends… so leaving. He thought, leaving would be he best thing to so. However it took him longer to come to the decision and by the time he did, the gang was practically walking right into him. When everyone eyes meant they all stopped. "Huh…" the prince said "Hey"

"Hey sim." Voiced Tojo, he could tell it was awkward because Tama and Kula where looking right over him.

"You guys heading out?" he asked.

"Yea, just on a little walk, nothing better to do now."

"Ture…" he added

"Hey, want to come with?" asked Malka. Simba looked eyes looked up to this friends, he knew Malka would always have his back, he could only imagine what Simba was going through and knowing how truly regretful he was, he knew his pal only needed a chance. However, before simba could get a word out- Tama beat him to it.

"No, he's good. And we're good." Simba rolled his eyes. He knew he would have to deal with her sooner or later. But later always sounded so much better. She is Nala best friend so a hurt to Nala was basically twice a hurt to her, because …I don't know, that how girls work. "You wanna roll that eye so that I can blacken it again?" tension grew quick, and nobody wanted to break up a fight tonight.

"Tama clam down." Voiced Malka. " Tts' time to hear him out."

"No, I don't want to hear anything this dog has to say."

"Well too bad, Simba" he looked to his friend "Ever snice you left the group I've had to be the voice of reason over here, and as great as it is, it sucks. This is our job and I'd be more then glad to give it back to you-"

"Voice of reason, he doesn't even take his own advice!" scoffed Tama.

"Well neither do you!"

"Shut up Tojo!" hissed Tama. " No one's even talking to you."

"If it's a gang thing, then everyone has a say. And I say we hear him out, and by we I mean YOU." Ugh two to one, she then looked to Kula to back her up, but the shy lioness looked away.

"C'mon Kula!"

"I know I know, we hate Simba- but…it is weird not having him around and snice he and Nala got back together shouldn't everything be okay?" together? Who told them they got back together, Simba looked to the purple eyed lioness. She eyed Malka and Tojo.

"We… thought it was happening, I mean the cards were playing right, and it was all Tojo saying really. You guys would get back together like two annoying love birds…did we prejudge?"

"I mean yea, we did get back together-"

"YES score- YOU OWE ME!" voiced Tojo too over excited. Clearly some bets had been made. Wow they were some real friends, weren't they? "oh sorry…that's great Simba! It's about time."

"What? Back together- why would she do that?! Ughh she so stupid…"

"No, she's so in love!" corrected Kula.

"Who's side are you even on?" she mouthed slowly, over everything now. Her eyes slowly made their way to Simba because like it or not, she guess she had to listen to his stupid self.

"I'm on the side of things back to the way they were."

"Fine, you got 5 seconds." She retorted to the prince.

"Look, I know you're mad at me, you might even hate me-"

"No hate would be the right word…" he continued.

"I can't take back from what I did, and I'm not going to try to make you believe me and I just want you and everyone to know I'm truly sorry. If I could take it all back I would, I wouldn't have been the stupid lion the stay out, when he knew he should have just come home, because nothing good happens after midnight…honestly I know you love Nala, she's your best friend. And for her sake, I want us to at least be civil with each other. I love her and our cub and I'm going to fix everything that I messed up to the best of my ability. But if she could forgive me, I think you can too." Tama paused.

"You males are stupid…"

"That's why we need females to get up together or else everything fall apart." After all it is Tama who talks a lot about lioness power. lioness giving everything and everyone but themselves, but it they didn't a pride would be nothing without them.

"I can tolerate for Nala sake, but don't think I'll forgive you that easy."

"I'm not asking you- just a chance."

"Fine." There was a pause.

"Okay hug it out." Voiced Tojo, everyone looked at him. "what?"

"Don't push it." well now that that was out the way it seemed like everything was going to be good. The gang seemed to be coming together, slowly but surely. Things could finally go back to being normal or him. "So where are you coming from?" well if he's going to start clean with his friends he might as well tell the truth.

"Ingine." A great sigh came from everyone you. And Tama temper came back.

"You son of a bi-"

"RELAX! I told her she had to leave."

"What? You kicked her out? Dude…didn't she just lose a cub."

"Not after what with Nala- I'm not taking any chances. If you guys weren't there who knows what could have happened to her." Rethinking about today.

"I don't know, she did give Ingine a run for her money." Voiced Tojo. "But I get you…yea, it could have been bad. "Remembering when the lioness had collapsed of exhaustion almost. Tojo really thought she was about to have the cub, and he was not ready for it.

"and if you two didn't take her to Rafiki, I don't even want to think about what could happen."

"Yea… you're right" voiced Malka. "What you're parents say? I mean I know you're the prince and all, but can you make desicon like that yet?"

"They don't know, and hardly."

"Hardly?" asked Tama.

"I guess I didn't tell you guys, my dad not naming me the next succession. So I'm not going to be the king of pride rock." Everyone mouths dropped.

"WHAT?! Whoa whoa whoa… can he do that?" everyone was in a tizzy.

"Yea he can."

"I don't know if your dad noticed, but your his only son. You HAVE to be the next king. If not, then who will be?!" Simba gave Malka a look.

"HELL NO!" he just said he wanted to give Simba back his job of being the 'voice of reason' now this lions over here talking about how he won't be next in line and he, might be, please. Mufasa better get his act together. "tell Mufasa to get this life together, because pride rocks going to go to crap."

"I don't know, I haven't talked to him much about it. it was kinda a big fall out."

"And Sarabi, what did she say?"

"I'm sure she going to talk to my dad. Whether or not he'll take her advice is beyond me."

"That's sucks Simba."

"Yea it does." He paused. "but compared to how life was a few weeks back, I'll take losing my position to be king, than losing everything and everyone one else again.

"aww Simba, I feel so bad…you need a hug" Kula walked over took him into her embrace. He was twice her size, but Kula gave some pretty strong hugs.

"Don't kill him."

"I'm a hugger guys, hugs fix everything."

"So what's you're plan now? You still want to come hang with us, you probably need to talk."

"I was actually going to head back and be with Nal, but she was knocked out when I left. I kinda don't want to bother her."

"Looks like you're hanging with us."

"I guess.." a small smiled come to his face. Maybe this would be good, being able to talk with his friends finally. even though he did want to just head back home and stay with Nal. Hell he would even watch her sleep. But he had been dying to hang with the gang. So he decided he's hang with them for a little while and then had back to Nala, before it was too late.

"Cool we won't be long to so can head back to you're lady." Teased Tojo.

"haha, sounds good."

Back in the comfort of pride cave, a lioness eyes fluttered opened slowly. Nala had just woken up, or was more or less forced to wake up from the movement in her belly. Either the cub was hungry or it was time for her to go to the bathroom. This cub never let her rest, every time she would enter her most relaxing sleep, the cub was jerk her awake with sudden movement. But this time Nala was just too exhausted to get up right away. After the day she had had, her legs were still finding themselves. But the cub wouldn't let up, he or she would just kick and kick and kick, until finally fed up with her cubs attitude she decided she better get it. that was the idea, but again it took a moment, the deep sleep made her legs feel like jello, but it only takes a few moments for the sensation to finally travel down. As she slowly sat her eyes says something in the corner of the cave across from her. She blinked a few times, and questioned the figure. "Sim-simba?" she voiced, but the scent she smelled wasn't him. "…Who's there?" she echoed. The black figured slowly moved closer, the figure was soon contrasted with huge pale yellow eyes popping open. A small glimmer of a white fang could be seen. The young mother heart dropped as she jumped up, readying to defend herself. "HEL-" she stumbled back to get space between them but by that time it was too late. The lioness was on her in seconds. Upper cutting the lioness jaw shut, sending her soaring back . she stood over her lifeless body for a moment. She wasn't dead, only knocked unconscious. She took a moment to examine her body, she was far enough along she thought. She took a moment to catch her breath, before she dragged the body out into the darkness.
