*Phew* I apologize for the extreme mega-shortness of this chapter, but this idea just suddenly came to me and I couldn't just throw it away - especially when I've had such absolutely awful writer's block lately. So, I hope you enjoy :).


D: Dandelions

Kovu dropped the tangle of dandelions at her feet. He smiled shyly up at her, even though his forehead still wore it's same arrogantly raised eyebrow that seemed to never droop.

Kiara's face brightened, and she seemed to light up in happy surprise as her golden pelt shone light the hot, African sunshine. "Kovu... they're beautiful! How did you know my favorite flowers were dandelions?"

The question was rhetorical, obviously, but Kovu replied anyway. "You'd deny it if I told you," he meowed darkly, grinning.

She didn't seem to hear him, and she purred and buried her face in his mane. "Thank you, Sweetie," purred Kiara, with her amber eyes half closed as she rested her head on his shoulder. He smirked, again, in his same, annoying, arrogant little smile that he always did, and that always annoyed her.

"You're welcome, Dear," he replied.

An odd look appeared on her face, and she pulled back slowly. "How did you know they were my favorites..? I don't remember ever telling you..." she began slowly, studying his face. Her brow was furrowed as she stared deep into his eyes, as though searching for the answer to her out-loud wonder.

Kovu grinned. "You talk in your sleep," he laughed.


There it is, chapter "D" :). I have no idea if dandelions even grow there, and I don't know if they'd be Kiara's favorite, either - but, considering I needed a "D" chapter idea, AND they're called dandeLIONS, I figured it'd work ;).
