A/N:First I would like to thank you all for the reviews. I never thought I would have over thirty reviews. Thank you!
Asaf-Yes there's something wrong with Nala. But Simba might treat Mheetu better.
Teddi 8347-Don't be afraid. Nala won't hurt him or get the chance to. As for Malka telling the truth, maybe.
CSIMentalistTLK lover-He might and that's all I'm saying.
Enjoy!
Disgraceful Prince
Malka inhaled and exhaled as he stood at the border. He seen Simba walk over with Nala and Armani in tow. The lionesses had their cubs in their jaws.
"Malka" Simba said softly before bowing his head
Malka bowed his head before looking at Nala and Armani nuzzle Khairi and Tanabi. Then he turned his brown eyes back on the Pride Lands king.
"Simba, may I speak to you"
The golden lion looked at the two lionesses and nodded before following the pale orange lion away.
"Simba...my cubs and their friends found Kopa. He's not dead but he doesn't remember"
Simba took in a sharp breath before sighing. "Zira will only come back. I banish her but it's best to be safe than sorry"
Malka nodded. "I understand and I think that visitors should be limited. To be safe"
"You're absolutely right. Armani can come..."
Malka shook his head. "I just think that it will be better if I send my majordomo. Like you said, it's best to be safe than sorry"
Simba sighed deeply before nodding. Malka head bump his friend for comfort.
"I'll take care of them"
Simba just nodded before looking at Nala and Armani. "It's time to go"
Tanabi and Khairi nuzzled their mothers before walking over to the large pale orange lion. Malka smiled at the cubs before turning and heading towards his pride. Nala sobbed on her mate as Armani sat with her head low and tears falling.
"Let's get back. Before it gets dark"
Nala and Armani nodded before following the golden lion back to Pride Rock.
~O~
Khairi and Tanabi followed behind Malka with their tails tucked and their heads low. Malka felt terrible for the cubs, no child should go through this. Malka stopped walking when his territory came into view.
"Boys"
Khairi and Tanabi looked up at the mountain king.
"There's something you two need to know. Kopa is alive but he doesn't remember anything but his name"
Tanabi's eyes widen in excitement. "We can go back home"
"No dummy! That crazy lioness would just come back"
"Hey! There will be no name calling here!"
Khairi whimpered before lowering his head and pinned his ears. "Sorry"
Tanabi bumped his head to his best friend."It's okay"
Malka smiled before going serious. "Second. Tanabi, your brother Mheetu is here but do not tell him anything. Do you understand?"
Tanabi nodded while Khairi titled his head.
"Who's Mheetu?"
Malka looked at the former Prince. "He's my son. You will find out anything else when the time is right"
The golden-beige cub nodded, before following Malka again as the pale orange lion started walking again.
~O~
"Everyone this is Khairi and Tanabi. They will be staying with us. Make them feel welcome"
With a roar, Malka dismissed the pride before going his own way. Khairi and Tanabi looked around totally lost at what to do. Their ears perked at the sound of a bunch of paws coming their way. They both looked up with curious amber eyes. A light brown teen with a growing dark brown mane, walked over with a bunch of younger cubs following. The youngest was pale light brown.
"Hi. I'm Jeshi" said the teen
"Kishindo" said a light orange cub
"Uzuri" beamed a peach cub
"Kinto" huffed a red cub with a roll of her golden eyes
"Kopa" said a dark golden cub his pale green eyes on the the two cubs
Tanabi and Khairi nodded before turning the last two cubs.
"Skye" whispered a pale light brown cub her stormy blue eyes on the ground
It was hard to hear but Khairi and Tanabi heard it. The two former pride lander cubs looked at the last cub.
"Mheetu" said the creamy brown cub with a slight smile
"Now that we know each other. Let's play!" Uzuri exclaimed excitedly before prancing off
The others shook their heads before following the bouncing cub.
Mheetu smiled at the two new members. "Come on. Zuri is a little...free spirited but she's a lot of fun"
Khairi and Tanabi smiled before following Mheetu after the others.
