Weeks had passed, and Zuri grew. Her cries of hunger became louder, and Kiara knew that she must soon be weaned, and that Kovu had to know the truth.
Hassan watched over the cub, and Kovu didn't really mind, he was too busy learning what to do from Simba. Ruling the Pridelands was harder than expected. He aslo befriended a cheetah, who wished to have no name, for she was as free as the wind on the savannah.
Zuri grew. She was soon as big as Simba was when he ran away, or as big as Kiara was when she met Kovu. As Zuri grew, she looked less and like Kovu, and more like Hassan. Kiara knew that the longer she put telling Kovu, the worse the consequences would be.
The day came when she knew she must tell Kovu. She brought Zuri with her, and Timon and Pumbaa. Kiara thought if anything bad were to happen, they could take Zuri away from any danger.
At sunset, two months after Zuri was born, Kiara went and got Kovu. He was talking to his cheetah friend.
"Kovu, I need a word with you. Alone preferably," she said, eying the cheetah.
"Go. I need to talk to my loving wife," beamed Kovu.
Kiara sighed. She knew Hassan was there, lurking in the shadows, getting redy to protect her if needed.
"Mama, why do we have to talk to Kovu? I like Hassan better!" whined Zuri. Kovu was somewhat taken aback by this, but didn't show it.
"That's what I'm here to talk about. I'll just say it. Kovu isn't your father. Kovu, Hassan is her father. I'm sorry."
At these words, Kovu's eye's widened, then furrowed, his ears went back, and bared his teeth with a menacing growl.
"Why? I thought you loved me. I thought - thought-" Kovu couldn't finish his sentence. He let back a huge roar and pounced on Kiara."Didn't all those years mean anything?" He raised his paw,claws beared, ready to strike, when Hassan pushed him off and pinned him to the ground.
"Don't. Touch. Kiara." Hassan growled.
"Hassan, get out of this. Wait, no! It's your fault. You could of had any lioness, but you chose mine! She is mine! MINE!" Kovu roared
"Kovu!" Kiara shreiked
"What do you want?"
"It was my fault. She didn't want me to, but I did."
"So... it was you. I have every right to kill you. You and Zuri." Kovu said with deep and bitter disqust.
"Timon, Pumbaa! Take Zuri and run!" whispered Kiara. Kovu was to busy snarling at Hassan to notice.
Kovu and Hassan were battling, to death or otherwise. Kovu pinned Hassan, and they were rolling on the ground, nearer and nearer to the edge of Priderock.
Suddenly, Kovu pushed Hassan so he was hanging off the cliff. Hassan was holding on for dear life, assuming the position that Mufasa had performed many years ago. Kovu sunk his claws into Hassan's paws, and flung him off the cliff.
"Hassan!" Kiara shreiked.
"I love you!" he yelled back.
