Chapter 11: blood bath

"Nag, Nag, Nag! That's all you do!" Jabari said to Alea who rolled he eyes.

"Hey, take it up with the king; I didn't want to be pulled into this! Alea growled. "Why is it that you only have words for the princess?"

"because –"

"She`s your sister?" Alea asked.

Jabari glared at her. "Listen they are-"

"Oh my God!" Alea said leaving his side and rung out as were Kiara and Nala along with the warthog and Meerkat following quickly.

Jabari ran over and pushed his way through the crowd. There was Simba being held up by Kiara.

"Kovu!" he breathed before passing out his breathing still labored and hard. Jabari hesitated for a moment before grabbing Simba`s man and flipping him over his shoulder. He caught Alea`s eye.

"I`m only doing it because he helped me, I don't like being in anyone`s debt!" jabari haled the King up to his own den placing him on the floor.

Jabari wasn't quick enough to escape Nala`s affection. She rubbed her cheek to his shoulder, "Thank you son." She said as she leaned down next Simba. "Who did this?"

"He said Kovu." The Meerkat said. Jabari sneered; finally, Kovu did his job. Jabari looked to Kiara her eyes were dark with sadness that seemed to make her fur stand on ends. "NO!" Kiara yelled running out of the den. Jabari raced after her. She was at the bottom of the steps before he reached her.

Kiara looked around the pain in her eyes unbearable, once she saw who it was she raced over to him burying her facing his chest. "Kovu couldn't have don't this to father, couldn't he?" she cried his fur making her voice slightly muffled. Jabari felt a bit awkward as he put his paw on her shoulder. He wished she wouldn't have been so hurt over this but then again he couldn't have his way.

"Yes, Kiara he could have." He said.

"Jabari," Kiara cried, "If I tell you something… do you promise to still be here for me?"

Jabari gritted his teeth but sighed, "Yes, I`ll be here for you."

"I`ve seen how angry you get at mother and father because they tell you they`re your parents," Jabari`s heart clenched pain fully, "But no matter what your my brother and… I hope you can see how much they love you… how much I do." She said burying her face deeper into his mane as if she thought he would run away. Jabari gritted his teeth further but as he said before he hated being in some ones debt and he promised her he wouldn't leave, "I-I`m not going anywhere Kiara."

Kovu raced back to the pride land hoping he wasn't too late to get there, the second he arrived animals from hippos to giraffes were circled around Pride rock. They all looked at him there eyes narrowed in mistrust and hate. He knew exactly what they saw, Scar. The pink scar on his eye still burned like fire but as he looked up he met Kiara`s eyes and smiled a little.

"Kovu!" she yelled, she raced over to him and he hopped along the rocks ignoring the sounds of the other animals. For other reasons his eyes flickered to Jabari that stood next to his guard Alea, his eyes were full of conflict. Simba jumped in fount of his daughter making Kovu stop just below them.

"Why have you come back!" Simba roared from where he stood the other lionesses blocking Kiara.

"Simba, I had nothing to-," he said, but he couldn't finish, if he hadn't fallen in love with Kiara he probably would have.

"You don't belong here!" Simba continued.

"Simba please, I ask your forgiveness!" he said sadly his eyes on Kiara, Simba looked at his daughter and then back to Kovu his eyes never softening.

"Daddy please, listen to him!" Kiara said.

"Silence!" he roared, the king looked back to him, "when you first came here you asked for judgment, and I pass it now!"

Kovu gasped as the other animals around him started to yell there opinion, his eyes bore into the king and Simba1s amber eyes stared right back, he wasn't seeing Kovu he was seeing Scar.

"Exile!" Simba yelled.

"NO!" Kiara cried, this time it was Jabari that held her back.

The animals stared to advance on him. "Kovu!" Kiara yelled.

Kovu looked at her before the animals came so close he had no choice he had to flee. Kovu jumped off of the ledge and raced down the stone path trying to avoid the animals that stomped their feet madly. Snakes hissed at him and he dodged them and jumped past the large hippos blocking his path. The second he reached the next path Zebra reared up at him and he ran the opposite way hoping to escape.

Kovu raced past the large birds that pecked him landing a few blows on him. He refused to fight back. Once past that he was pelted by rocks from the monkeys which he preferred than other things they would have thrown.

Kovu jumped down the canyon finally finding solid ground and then jumped into the river looking back at Kiara, "I find you. He whispered hoping the wind might carry his words.

Kovu`s eyes trailed to Simba, he hoped the king was prepared for the battle ahead. With not only the outsiders, but his own son. Kovu looked down to the water and the image that once was him and Kiara was not Scar the one he was supposed to become.

He raced further up the river his wet paws landing rock once more, Kovu looked back at Simba one more time before disappearing into the bushes.
