Chapter XI

The last of the dreaded results had come up. Although each of the lions and lionesses were terribly frightened by what they would see, at the same time, they were relieved. For they knew that the horrible ritual of looking up the smut for themselves would finally end with Kopa and Vitani.

However, when they came up, each of them noticed something that was oddly different this time around- there was hardly anything at all. Upon the screen, there were almost no dirty images of Kopa at all. Vitani seemed to be overly sexualized as always, but for Kopa, there was close to nothing.

Kopa leaned in and squinted harder. The lion said out of annoyance, "Hey... wait a second! There's barely a damn thing here about me!"

Vitani looked closer as well, only to see that her mate was right. In total, there were three images of him that stuck out to her, and only two of them had herself in them. And yet at the same time, there were dirty images of herself all around them. She blushed in embarrassment at the sight of what she was doing in them.

Timon gave Kopa a confused look. "Wait, sooo, you want to see yourself exploited like that?"

Upon realizing what he had just said, Kopa defensively and quickly shook his head. "Wait, no. No! No, that's not what...! I- I didn't mean it like-...!"

He groaned loudly, realizing what situation he had just gotten himself into. Timon chuckled.

Simba sighed out of relief. "You should be lucky, Kopa. You're the first one of us to be spared."

The prince turned back to his father. "I know, dad, but... well... isn't it weird that I just happen to be the only one here who doesn't have any art like that?"

He turned to Pumbaa. "Pumbaa, didn't you say I was some kind of hot topic around the Internet?"

The warthog gave him an uncomfortable look, thinking about what Kopa was inevitably going to discover about himself on the Internet. Trying to think of what to say, he said, "Oh, uh... well see about that, Kopa... I didn't really mean it like that... er, the smut. You're pretty popular in... well, other places."

Kopa perked up. "Like where? How?"

Pumbaa replied, "Ehh... maybe it'd be better if you just saw it tomorrow."

Kopa was silent for a moment before he shrugged. He said, "If you say so." But in his mind, he thought, I swear to God, warthog, if I wasn't so worn out right now...

Because of how tired he was, he didn't argue about the matter. Annoyed, he turned his attention back to the computer screen as Timon scrolled through the results of Vitani. Even though there were only a handful of images with him in it, that didn't make them any less disturbing. One image in particular featured them as cubs, oddly enough in the Elephant Graveyard of all places. He could see that Vitani was pressed up behind him in the picture, doing amorous things with his front nether regions. The look of pleasure that cub Kopa had in it was absolutely degrading to look at.

"Hey, we do not do it like that!... often." Vitani said, with that last part to herself making her blush.

All around that, it was mostly Vitani related material. In truth, it was the typical case of over-sexualization, pairing her up with random males ranging from Simba to Kovu to Scar himself, and strangely enough, there seemed to be an unusual amount of content involving Vitani getting sexually amorous with Kiara of all people, most of it consisting of anthro material. It was almost as though they were some sort of official pairing, and it was completely sick to look at.

Vitani cringed. "W-why am I screwing Kiara in all of these?" She said softly, clearly horrified by what was in front of her.

Kiara had a similar look. She noticed that a lot of Vitani's material had her as a cub, which made it all the more hard to look at.

Kopa surprisingly yawned. Even though these images were disturbing like the previous ones were, and he still thought ut was horrible that fans would portray the one he loved like this, he was more or less used ot it at this point. He did't cringe, nor did he gape in horror anymore. After being subjected to so much of this, it just didn't affect him much anymore. Especially when it came to what he and Vitani were doing in the Water Hole just an hour before.

Simba and Nala seemed to have a similar reaction. No longer did they look horrified or ready to vomit, just more along the lines of indifferent. Kiara, even though she was hit by the initial shock factor of seeing herself with Vitani in these, it wore off rather quick. Kovu stared upon the screen with more of a look of annoyance than disgust now.

But this changed in an instant.

Timon scrolled down to the next page of results, and all of a sudden he came across a drawing that shocked them to their cores, himself included. It was an image of Kopa and Kiara as cubs, doing exactly what one would have expected at this point, and both of them looked to be enjoying it greatly. Upon seeing this, Kopa, Kiara and Vitani had the strongest reactions. Kopa gasped, regaining his attention. Kiara's eyes widened with sudden horror again. Vitani cringed again, resisting the urge to say 'eewww'

Kopa managed, "Is that seriously me screwing my sister?!"

Simba suddenly took a step forth, looking down at the screen with anger. "Kopa and... Kiara? Kiara wasn't even born at his age there!"

Nala shook her head in pity, bowing her head in sarcastic sympathy. "Do these artists know anything about us at all? Don't they know who's really mated to who?"

Vitani added, "And did they really have to be cubs here too?"

Timon shrugged, looking back to the lioness for a moment. He said with a humerus tome, "Hey, when it comes to this stuff... anything goes."

Kiara and Kopa gave each other a brief, awkward glance, their eyes wide. And then, after seeing this image, Kopa did it. He stood back up, threw his paws up in the air for a moment before saying, "That's it! That's it, I-I'm done here. I've officially had enough of this crap today."

Without waiting, Kopa turned around and started to walk past the others, heading for the back of the den, everyone now looking upon him with concern. Kopa ranted to himself, "I finally find out we have fans, and then I find out that they're all a bunch of perverts, pedophiles and incestuous degenerates. They spend all this time drawing us, and what do they come up with? Me screwing my sister, Simba screwing Vitani, Kovu screwing Scar... Clearly they just love and respect us soooo much!"

That last part he said sarcastically. Reaching the back of the darkening den, Kopa lazily threw himself down to the ground where he usually slept, motionless as soon as his mane and the end of his tail settled on the ground. He took a deep, annoyed breath.

Vitani looked to her side now, facing Simba and the others. She shrugged. "I don't know about you guys, but I've had enough of this too."

She stood up and started back to go lie down with Kopa. As she walked, Timon turned around, looked back and called to her. "Hey wait, guys! Not everything's like this! We're really past it this time, we're ready to start the fanfiction! It's better than this stuff, honestly!"

Simba looked down to him. "I think it's best that we start that tomorrow, Timon. We're all tired right now from seeing the stuff you showed us."

That last part he said with a bit of a glare towards him, remembering how Timon was the one who brought all of this upon them in the first place. Timon glanced hopefully up to Pumbaa, and then back to the computer screen. Shuddering at how Kiara and Kopa were being portrayed right there, he cleared the results. The meerkat was about to close the internet window all together, but Pumbaa quickly placed his hoof on the mouse pad, blocking Timon from touching it. With a suspicious tone, Pumbaa said, "No, wait, Timon. I, uh... I-I'll handle this. I'll close it."

Timon gave him an odd look. "What?"

Pumbaa stood up and nervously closed the laptop shut, finally putting it in sleep mode for the night. He chuckled softly. "I-it'd be easier to just open this back up tomorrow without turning it off, wouldn't it?"

Timon placed his hand on his chin, thinking it out for a second. He eventually replied, "Well now that you mention it... this thing does take a while to start up... alrighty then."

Pumbaa chuckled again, remembering he still had the Timon/Shenzi material on the hidden page. He couldn't wait for when the time was right to pull it back up.

And from there, the nightmare was finally over. With the laptop shut there and on the ground at the front of the den, Timon and Pumbaa looked up to the others, who all appeared morbidly tired. Timon asked them, "Hey uh, would you guys mind if Pumbaa and I slept here tonight?"

Turning away from them, Simba replied while yawning, "Sure thing, Timon."

Nala, who had walked to the back of the den to comfort Kopa and Vitani lying down, said to her son, "Kopa? The hunting party should be back any minute now. Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?"

Kopa didn't move as he laid there on the ground, his arm wrapped around Vitani warmly. Their faces were close together romantically. He said flatly, "No thanks, Mom. I lost my appetite after all that crap."

Nala replied, "Alright then. I'm... sorry you had to see all of that."

Timon suddenly called up to them, "Yeah guys... I-I'm really sorry about all of this." He rubbed his hand behind his head as he awkwardly, though sincerely tried to apologize. "This... got way more out of hand than I wanted it to. I didn't want it to go so far."

Simba yawned as he laid down on his stomach ahead of Kopa and Vitani, resting his head on his paws. He replied, "Don't worry about it, Timon. Hakuna Matata, remember?"

Timon smiled at his friend. The meerkat stretched himself out, walking over to a spot beside Simba. He took one last glance at the closed laptop before he rested himself against the stone wall. Kiara yawned next, which made Kovu do the same. Although the two mates both knew that their dreams would likely be horribly unclean, and that it would probably take weeks to mentally recover from those horrible images, they both knew the same thing that everyone else did. The fan art was over at last. Rafiki's instructions were fulfilled.

While night fell upon the kingdom, the pride of twenty hunting lionesses eventually returned with the day's kill, as they did every day before. Simba and the others ate well that night, but they were all silent, still deeply mortified at what they had seen that could never be unseen. Naturally concerned for the royal family, a few of the lionesses asked about what had happened, and what the strange object at the den's entrance was. But Simba gave them no answer, saying to them that he would rather not talk about it.

Kopa and Vitani were already fast asleep and softly breathing when all of the others had finished eating. Each of them found their spots within the den, watching as the last of the pale sunlight transformed into a night filled with bright, beautiful stars. Simba and the others, although most of them didn't have too much trouble getting to sleep (Mostly because of the exhaustion), all of their fears were confirmed as they slept. Their dreams that night were some of the most unclean and horrific ones that they had ever had in their lives, consisting of things that they would never have envisioned had it not been for the computer.

While they slept, each of them subconsciously preyed to God that the written fanfiction would show them better mercy.

Author's Note: I will confirm that the next chapter will begin the transition into the written fanfiction. I've already started getting suggestions for stories you want them to read, and while I will try to address each one, I can't guarantee each one will be covered. But like I said, I can try. Hope you enjoyed, and please review! (And my God, am I glad I don't have to look through any of that painful smut anymore. Seriously, this whole story does them no justice).
