CandyLuv99, mainly Mufasa is blinded by hate. He's not thinking clearly. Everyone else is following Mufasa's lead. Warning, for suggestive themes. Here's chapter fifteen, enjoy.

The sun had just started to rise when a teen Kaidan walked out of a cave. A soft breeze blew through his growing black mane. His brown eyes scanned the area at the little amount of animals of his once beloved home. With a deep breath he started his rounds. During the past eight and a half months since Scar gained the throne by forced, he and Kion were threatened into patrolling the Pridelands with the four living guild members. The traitors, Harkin and Fuli, and the still loyal Storm and his son Flash. Fuli don't patrol with him, Kion and Flash. Not with Kion trying to rip her throat out every time he sees her. But deep down Kaidan knows the teen female cheetah regrets her descion.

The cool air gave a chill but he was used to it. The Pridelands were going through a drought. No thanks to Scar and those damn hyenas. They don't listen to no one, not even Scar. Because of them bubbling idiots over hunting, the herds are moving out. But as he walked through the dry grass, something is more important than a dying kingdom. Jasiri. The rusty brown teen lioness had disappeared late last night and had not returned. Sienna is going crazy about her missing daughter. After the unexpected deaths of two small male cubs, the lionesses couldn't be to careful. He snarled at the thought. If Scar or those hyenas had laid a paw on her, there will be hell to pay.

Kaidan shook his head before continuing his search. He had headed towards the direction of the clearing where he and others used to play in. Maybe she was there, the clearing wasn't like it was before...Scar's takeover. But he still goes for a clear mind when things get overwhelmed. As he was passing the gorge on the south side, his ears flickered at the sound of quiet sobbing. Kaidan ran to the edge to see Jasiri lying under a dead broken tree branch, crying her brown eyes out.

"Jasiri!"

The rusty brown female didn't respond which caused worry and concern to flare up. Without another thought the light golden teen leaped off the edge and slid down. Nicely landed on his lighter colour paws. Not even bothered to catch his breath he ran straight for his friend.

"Jasiri..."

Jasiri sobbed before opening her eyes and looked up. "Kaidan...what are you doing here?"

Kaidan sighed heavily before nuzzling the slightly older lioness. "You didn't come home last night. Your mother and everyone was worried." he scanned the gorge floor in confusion before looking back at Jasiri. "What made you come down here?"

Jasiri looked towards the dead broken tree. Two small green flowers grew. "Do you know what today is?"

Kaidan raked his brain trying to remember what today could be. But it was hard to concentrate when it was clear that Jasiri was hurting. It's still taking some time to get used to the fact of someday marring Jasiri. It's no secret to him or his family that he was in love with Felicity. A dead lioness. How pathetic. But he couldn't stop the feelings he have for Felicity, he's trying to love Jasiri the same but it's not the same.

Tears began to fall and it pulled on Kaidan's heartstrings. He closed his eyes and nuzzled her. Jasiri sighed as she nuzzled back, she pulled away with a smile.

"Kaidan...can you take the pain away?"

Kaidan didn't know exactly what pain Jasiri was feeling but he felt sweat cling to his fur as he realized her question. But than if he do he'll figure out if he'll be able to love Jasiri or not. Smiling as loving he can get he nuzzled her with a purr. Kaidan brought his lips to Jasiri's ear and snarled seductively. "Are you sure? There's no turning back."

Jasiri growled before lifting her body up, causing Kaidan to growl. If Jasiri was sweating before, it was nothing compared to him sweating now as he got lost in a web of lust and desire.

...

Tiffu sat on the peak watching Kovu lead a training session. She's glad that she's not Scar's daughter or Sarafina's. She had a crush on the dark brown future king as long as she could remember. Now she's going to be his mate.

"I guess you're thinking about it too?"

Tiffu smiled before turning her head to see her younger twin. "How's things going on your end?"

Nala smiled sweetly before moving her green eyes down and locked on a stocky dark golden teen overseeing the training that his older brother was leading.

"Malka is amazing." the creamy, green eye teen lioness sighed deeply. "True, I haven't told him how I feel."

Tiffu bumped her head against her sister's. "What are you waiting for?"

Nala smiled at her sister. As she realised that her twin was right. They weren't getting any younger and she best make her claim before someone else gets to him before she does.

...

That night Nala couldn't sleep, so she decided to take a walk. It always use to help her relax when she was a cub. Even though the nomads land wasn't no where as a paradise compared to the Pridelands but she made through. Nala didn't know how far she walked but figured she should turned back before she come across something or someone she shouldn't. Nala was heading back towards Priderock when she came across one of the many hills in the Pridelands. What confused her was who was sitting on the top looking at the stars.

"What are you doing out here all by yourself?"

Malka looked and was generally surprised to see Nala. His ears twichted as he turned to face the teen lioness. "I could ask you the same thing."

Nala giggled before walking over and sitting by the prince's side. "I asked first."

Malka smiled at her. "So, you did." he turned his bright blue eyes towards the shinning stars above and sighed. "I was consulting with the stars."

"About what?" Nala pinned her ears as she lowered her eyes. "Or is it a private matter?"

Nala sighed deeply before lowering. his head. "It's nothing too private. It's about my father."

Nala frowned, she really didn't like seeing Malka upset. "What about him?"

Malka inhaled and exhaled before responding. "Don't you feel...like we are doing something wrong?"

Nala looked away towards the stars that seemed to twinkle under her gaze before she turned to look back at Malka. "I'm thankful for King Scar and Queen Sarafina taking me and my sister in but I don't agree on his methods. For the time being we have to play along until the right moment to help the others."

Malka looked at Nala with a hopeful expression. "You sure?"

Nala nodded with a small smile. "Yeah. I don't like how things are going."

Malka smiled which made Nala smiled brightly in return. "Thanks Nala. You always know what to say."

Nala blushed as she looked down with a small smile. "I would do anything to keep you smiling. I really don't like to see you unhappy. I...I really like you a lot."

Malka beamed at the confession before he moved in closer. "I really like you a lot, too."

Nala blushed even more as Malka leaned in and nuzzled her. She closed her eyes and nuzzled back.
