Kusa: No, you were wrong, but you were close-ish?

Roman Numeral: OK, I'll fix that mistake.

Kopa's POV

Kopa watched as Vitani glared at her former friend, making him even more baffled than before. AS he looked around he saw his puzzled face reflected on everyone. Especially Kovu and Kiara, as he knew they were close friends of Vitani.

The lioness began speaking again. "You are dead." Her voice was taught, though Kopa thought he could pick up a bit of pain in her voice. "Why are you here?" he said, ignoring her comment. "Kopa, the prides merged," Tojo said. Kopa eye's widened with shock, knowing it couldn't be true. But he'd known Tojo for a long time, he couldn't be lying to him.

Fear crept into his heart. Was Zira there? Did she convince Vitani to hate him while he was away? He felt the ground beneath him give way. His head was woozy and for a moment he couldn't think straight.

And then it blacked out.

Pain seared through Kopa's brain as his eyes came into focus. He growled impatiently. He shouldn't be sitting around here when he could've been helping the pride! Kopa ignored the pain and pushed himself up into a sitting position. He groaned.

"Kopa! Your awake!"

Kopa turned around. "Kiara. Hi."

"Why'd you run away? I mean, you could've come back sooner."

"I was afraid Zira would make sure I was dead for sure."

"That makes sense, I guess," finished Kiara. "By the way, Simba wants to see you."

Kopa walked out of the Den. "Tell him I'll be there in a sec. I have some things to do."

The soft dusk breeze stirred Kopa's fur as he walked through the plains of the PrideLands. He had to speak with Vitani before meeting up with his father.

"Kopa?"

He turned around. Vitani was behind him. "What are you doing here?" she asked coldly. He looked at her in bewilderment. They had been best friends since they were cubs. What changed?

As if reading his mind Vitani flicked her tail and said,"This isn't personal, Kopa, but we cant hang out like we did when we were cubs anymore. I have stuff to do, you have stuff to do, not to mention taking care of the cubs..." Her voice trailed off. "Cubs?" echoed Kopa. "Anyways, this is way more important. I love you, Vitani. I want you to be my mate."

Vitani gasped, then paused. "I-i cant."

"Why not?"

She sighed. "Because Im already mated and have cubs with Flare."

DUN DUN DUN! XD!

Sorry guys, but I have to end it here, on a cliffhanger. I felt really bad I haven't updated in what, 2 months or so? I kinda rushed to finish this thing, thats why its not as long as I intended it to be. I meant to have Simba's death in here, but I don't want to go on without updating...

I'll try to update every weekend(not weekdays, 'cause school started) soo... yeahhh...

R & R PEEPS! PEACE OUT!
