I don't own any of the characters! Including Kopa! This will probaby be the only chapter that really needs to be rated T, just for a little of the language... I know that this looks like a lot, but I hope it explains some things!

Vitani grew up in the Outlands, with Nuka and Kovu, who wasn't all that bad, he actually reminded her of Kopa, so sometimes she couldn't stand to be around him, it would just hurt too much. Zira tought Vitani to be visious, and Vitani wanted to be, because she wanted to kill the bastards that tore her away from love, and made her live in the damn place for something she, or anyone else didn't do!

Vitani was always a part of her mother's plans, she and Nuka went together to go see what the new cub in the Pride Lands was and when they came back, Zira was happy with the report, they didn't know why but they didn't question. When Nuka and her went to start the fire she was filled with joy, she would finally be able to avenge her friend. She went back into the Pride Lands two days later, and found Kovu not doing the plan. She was furiouse, he was betraying the pride, but when her mother came up with a plan to kill Simba sooner she was fine. Vitani was also the one that Kovu fought most of the time because he grew fast and Vitani was the only one the same size. She usually won the fights, because each time she thought of how Kopa left her, and then she was exiled by those damn lions that think the're better than everyone else and can do whatever they want!

Nuka got on her nervs now more that he did when they lived in the Pride Lands, mainly because Vitani was more bitter now. She pulled pranks on him, and sometimes Kovu, to get her anger out and to feel good, she never treated him nice, especially when she grew up and could really beat him up (he wasn't very lionly). She took out enough anger on Kovu during there fights that she didn't really do anything to him otherwise.

Vitani caught up on Zira's training fast, it came naturally to her, and she liked it. Soon Vitani became Zira's right paw lioness, she had always had power over the lionesses, but now she could do anything, and if they retaliated, beat them back into their place. Zira was proud, of Vitani and Kovu, it took Kovu a little longer to perfect the moves, but he got it in the end (with a little help from Vitani). Sure Vitani was always there for Kovu when Mother would put him down, or phisically hurt him, seeing him cry would bring out the old Vitani, caring, nice, and thoughtful.

For the first year, there wasn't a day Vitani wouldn't think of Kopa, she would go out to the cliff that overlooks the Pride Lands and just sit there everyday. Mostly to see if Kopa would come back... he never did, but also to think about what it was like to live there, and what it will be like to live there part of the royal family. Scar wasn't her father, her father was the same lion that was Kovu's father. She never met the lion, Zira had said that he died before Kovu was born.

When Nuka died, Vitani was filled with emotion, but held it back. Another one of her friends was gone, but his time he happened to be her brother. She was angered agian when Kovu refused to admit that it was his fault. She didn't want to comfort Kovu when Zira hit him, she was mad, and when he ran away Vitani wanted to run after him, but Zira held her back. She would save her energy for the real fight.

Now Vitani was older, she could erase him from her mind, if he came into it. There were exceptional days when she would slip away, and think about her old life for a while. Vitani swore to herself that she would get revenge on Simba and Nala for driving Kopa away, and for making her live in this God-forsaken place!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nala would cry herself to sleep some nights for her darling Kopa, but once Kiara was born, that all changed. She kept her mind on Kiara, she treated her just the same as Kopa. Simba on the other hand, was very protective of her. Nala never really brought up the subject, she just thought that it was because they killed Kopa, and he couldn't bare to loose Kiara too. Sure she thought the same way, but thought if she was too overprotective then the Kiara wouldn't like her.

Some nights Nala couldn't sleep, so she would climb the top of Pride Rock and sit there, thinking and crying for her first born. Sometimes Simba would join her, but it wasn't usual, he slep like a rock. One night Kiara found her, Nala told her that she was crying because she had lost a friend as a cub.

If anyone of those lionesses ever came back into the Pride Lands Nala would sware to take her anger out on them, but for some reason, she never could. There was something that held her back, like it was wrong or something, and she new it was wrong, but she didn't care. She wanted them dead, but still she couldn't, upon seeing Kovu, she saw Kopa, a little boy cub with a brown tough of fur on his head.

She had thought about Vitani a few times. She remembered a sweet little cub, who would do anything for Kopa. 'How could she let her mother do that, and not tell us? I thought she liked me... or maybe she didn't know, maybe none of them new, what if it was just Zira, and Simba had exiled them for no reason!?' she would think about these things for a long time, but never brought it up to anyone else. Her mother Sarafina would ask her what she was thinking about, but Nala would make up an exuse.

Kiara was more like Simba, Nala saw him in her every day, a cute, clumsy, adventurus cub. She knew Kiara would want to go to the Outlands once Simba told her about them, but she didn't realy do anything about it because she also knew Simba would have Timon and Pumbaa on her like a smell. They weren't that good of protectors, but they were loud and could run to get them if they thought something was going to happen to Kiara, or they lost her (which was often). Soon Kopa was a distant memory, Kiara was her pride and joy now, and nothing was going to take that away from her!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Now the two prides were together again. During the fight she taunted Nala and almost had her when Zira attacked Simba. Vitani wanted to keep fighting, but Nala ran away from her to be by her precious Simba. So Vitani went to stand by her mother. Then when Kiara and Kovu showed up, together, and Kiara started to talk about being one, Vitani thought. 'Wait! Mother always made things seem worse that it really was, either to make the lionesses feel sorry for her or to make them hate Simba even more. She even had me do it some times! What if thats not really what happened that day, when we were exiled?! And why should we keep fighting anyway? It was Kopa's decision to leave, and it kind of seemed that he wanted to even before he found out about Kiara.'

Vitani's thoughts were cut off by her mother's voice.

"Vitani, NOW!"

Vitani thought about this critically and quickly. She thought that if her thoughts were right (and they usually were), then this whole thing wasn't worth it! And if they were wrong, Vitani could deal with it later.

"No Mother!" she thought once more about her decision, she looked at Kiara, how happy she was, then to Kovu, he was looking at her with hopeful eyes. "Kiara's right." she walks to Kovu "Enough"

Then her mother thretens to kill her! Her, Vitani, her right paw lioness, her daughter! That's what did it for the rest of the lionesses, they relized it too, that this was wrong! They came over to Simba's side. Vitani was happy, she closed her eyes to take it all in, what she was throwing away, she was going against her mother for the first time. Then Zira attacked Simba, but Kiara cut her off, they roll off the cliff and into the gorge, with a dame that was breaking! Vitani races to the side along with Kovu, Simba and Nala. She saw her mother fly over a rock, that Kiara caught, and was able to pull herself up onto. She thought that her mother had fallen, but then heard her voice. Simba had jumped down to get Kiara. Vitani thought about jumping down to get her mother, but something held her back, she had finally relized that her mother was wrong, and wouldn't change her mind, so she didn't jump.

Simba came up with Kiara, and everyone was all happy and Kovu raced to Kiara, and Simba accepted them, and he told all of them to come back to Pride Rock.

Vitani looked at Nala walk right with her daughter and Kovu, she was so happy. Vitani couldn't look at her anymore. Vitani knew why Kopa was gone, and tried to kill her, she just couldn't look. Dotty a lioness with dots under one eye was about a year older than Vitani, and was like a big sister to her, came up and asked Vitani what was wrong. Vitani didn't really give an answer, just a look that told Dotty not to ask questions at that moment.

When they returned to Pride Rock, Vitani was filled with memories, but none the less participated with the joining seremony roar. She was back home, to where she belonged, sure her mother was dead, but what kind of a mother was she anyway, using her cubs to carry out her own problems? And she still had one of her brothers, and her friends.

Again this is not the last chapter! Hope you liked it!
