***Sorry it is another short chapter. Last short one.***

Ito couldn't help but smile. He was seeing Kovu for the first time in a long time. And the best part is that Kovu was smiling back.

"Kovu, it's so-"But Ito was interrupted by a ferocious growl. Simba jumped in to the scene teeth bared. Nala and a couple lionesses soon followed.

"Father! How could you break your promise?" Ito asked angrily. Simba turned to Ito and replied "It's a good I did. You could have been killed. No more hunts for you. Not ever."

Nala then intervened. "Simba?" She said in a questioning tone. Simba then turned to her. "You know what Timon and Pumba told us. How Ito disobeyed our order to not leave the Pridelands. He is NOT responsible enough to be on his own." Simba emphasized the last sentence to Ito.

Ito then flinched at his father's harsh words. "I would not have disobeyed if you did not break your promise. I was trying to prove to you that I was capable of hunting alone. That is why I ran off. And I was doing just fine, even before Kovu-" "Kovu!" Simba yelled. He then started to crouch and growl at Kovu. Kovu copied him.

"Father, Kovu saved my life. I was so afraid of the fire I couldn't move. He brought me back to… the Pridelands. Please be rational." Ito said trying to resolve the problem.

"You saved him? Why?" Simba asked furiously.

Kovu stood up tall. "I humbly ask to join your pride."

"NO." Simba roared. "You are a part of the Outlands. You do not belong here."

"I know. But I left my pride. I am a rogue. Please accept me." Kovu said pleading.

"Simba he saved Ito's life. You owe him some gratitude." Nala said. Simba then turned to his son who was standing next to Nala nodding his head.

"Please Father."

Simba then turned to Kovu. "I will allow you to stay. Prove me wrong about whom you are." He then walked up to Ito. "I am glad you are alright. Let us go." He nudged his son towards home. But before Ito followed he turned to Kovu and saw him smiling at him. He slowed down to walk with him but knew better than to start a conversation. He smiled back instead. Simba turned around to tell his son something when he noticed he wasn't behind him. He then saw his son walking with Kovu. He still did not trust Kovu. So he stopped as well. Nala then looked at him. "Simba?"

"Nala you and the lionesses return home I need to talk to our son ALONE." She understood. She then led the group home.

Simba then frowned at his son and the newcomer. "Ito we need to talk son. Kovu please excuse us." Kovu then walked after the lionesses.

"Father?"

"Ito what were you thinking running away like that?" Simba asked.

Ito didn't know how to respond. "Father I.. I want you to trust me. You promised I would be able to hunt alone. And because you didn't I ran away."

"And you did that to prove a point. Son do you know irresponsible that is? Like I said no more hunts for you." Simba was about to head home when Ito jumped in front of him.

"FATHER YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS! That is not fair. When will I ever learn? How will I provide for pride?" Ito all but screamed.

Simba raised an eyebrow in question. "Ito it seems to me you won't need to provide for the pride. As I recall multiple times a day you remind about how boring being king is and how you don't want to be king." Simba said.

"WHAT? just because I say that everyday doesn't mean I am going to get out of becoming king when I am older. I am your only heir."

"Ito I understand. But until you shape up, act like an adult, and make responsible decisions I cannot allow you to perform any tasks that are more than what you can handle. End of story." Simba then went around his son and ran home. Ito stood there shocked at his father's words. How could he think he was irresponsible? He learned everything from his father. He ran after his father home.
