Ch 5 Scar and Zira Part 1: Nuka

It was a dreey day in the Pridelands and a tan lioness with blood red eyes was observing her Kingdom. This lioness was Queen Zira and as she looked out at the barren wasteland she sighed to herself. "May as well get this over with," Zira thought to herself. With that Zira went off to find her mate, King Scar and share with him the news she had just received. She had just returned from visting Rafiki because she had the feeling she was pregnant. Zira had been pregnant before but each other the three pregnancies had ended with her losing the cub. "So tell me monkey," the Queen said aggressively. "Am I pregnant again?"

"Ah yes let me see here," Rafiki said. "Would you lay down fer me please?" With a grunt Zira layed down on the ground. Rafiki began to examine the tan Queen. "Ah yes you are with cub again. But dis time is different dan da rest."

"How so?" Zira asked standing up.

"De others were lower," Rafiki explained. "But dis one is higher up which mean de cub will have more room to grow."

"Well lets not get out hopes up shall we?" Zira said. Without another word Zira turned and left Rafiki's tree.

Now Zira was back at Priderock and she was in search of her mate. Luckily for her she didn't have to look very far for the brown coated King. She found Scar in the cave pacing back and forth. He looked very agitated. "Scar?" Zira said cautiously.

"What do you want?" Scar snapped glaring at Zira.

"Well that's a fine way to greet your mate and Queen," Zira growled. "Especially when I'm about to tell you good news."

"And what news is that?" Scar said, his tone much calmer.

"I'm pregnant again," Zira said. "And the monkey said that this time is different and our cub has a much better chance to survive."

"It had better," Scar said. "If you lose this cub Zira then I'll be forced to find another lioness that can provide me with a sutiable heir."

"I won't lose this cub," Zira declared. "And that's a promise." With that Zira turned and left hoping she'd be able to keep this promise.

Two months later Scar was, as usual, in his cave brooding. Just then Sarabi came into the scene. "What do you want Sarabi?" Scar snapped angrily, glaring at his sister-in-law.

"I just thought you'd want to know that Zira has gone into labor," Sarabi informed her brother-in-law.

"Fine," Scar said without emotion. "Come back when it's born. Unless it's a girl. Have it killed if that's the case."

"I'll ignore that," Sarabi said as she walked out of the cave. "But I will let you know when the cub is born." With that the former Queen exited the cave.

A few hours later Sarabi re-entered the cave. "You have a son Scar," Sarabi said simply.

"Good that means I won't have to kill it," Scar said as he walked out of the cave to see his mate and son. When he got into the cave Scar saw Zira sitting in the middle of the cave hold a brown bundle between her paws. "We have a son Scar," Zira said with a smile giving her son's head a lick.

"So I see," Scar said peering down at the cub who was looking up at him with blood red eyes. "He's a bit scrawny isn't he?" Scar commented.

"Ah yes well Rafiki said he'd uh outgrown that," Zira stammered nervously. Unforunatly for her Scar didn't buy her lie. The brown King glared at his hate and said with anger and venom, "He said no such thing did he?!"

"Scar please don't be angry," Zira pleaded. "It's only natural that's he's scrawny. With the drought there's little food. But he's healthy. And most importantly he's a male. He'll make a fine heir."

"That scrawny weakling will never be my heir," Scar snapped. "Never. You've failed me again Zira. Now I have no choice but to find a younger lioness to give me a sutiable heir."

"No Scar please give me one more chance," Zira pleaded, not wanting to lose her mate. "I can give you a sutiable heir I sware it."

"Fine," Scar agreed. "But I'm warning you Zira this is your final chance." With that Scar began to walk away from his mate and son.

"Wait what about him?" Zira said indicating the newborn.

"Well since he is a male I'll allow him to live," Scar declared. "But there shall be no presentation for him. That's only for the heir."

"But he is still a Prince," Rafiki pointed out. "He still should have a presentation."

"I said no!" Scar roared furiously causing Rafiki to jump slighty.

"As you wish," Rafiki said shaking his head sadly. "But what name will he have."

"Nuka," Scar said coldly. "He stinks of disappointment so his name will be Nuka or stink." Without saying another word Scar left leaving a disappointed Zira behind.

"Well I suppose I have to feed you," Zira said roughly to the cub pulling him to her side to nurse. "But I will only give you what's needed to keep you alive and that's all. As soon as I'm able Scar and I will try again. Then your brother shall be the heir and future King." With a grunt Zira layed her head down and tried to sleep while Nuka nursed.

A/N well there you go folks ch 5 done. I'll be doing one for Vitani as well but not Kovu since Kovu isn't Scar's son. Hope you all enjoyed and as always please review.
