The next morning came, and Vitani and Kovu were both stretching out of their sleep, ready to have breakfast, and then finally head to the Gorge, to pay their respect's to Nuka. They found a zebra that was already dead and it was still fresh to eat, so they had their breakfast on the zebra, then had a drink, and finally they both felt ready to go.

Just before they were about to leave, Kiara called out their name's and went to them.

''Where are you both going?'' she asked the two lion's.

Kovu: ''We are going to the Gorge, where our older brother died Kiara.''

Kiara felt sorry for what she had just heard. She had never seen Nuka when she was growing up, but she had always heard about him, when Vitani made sure that the Pridelander's and especially the Outsider's never forget who he was. Just then, Kiara asked:

''Would you like me to come with you for support? The both of you will might feel you can't do this on yourselve's, so I will be more than happy to help, you know that.''

Kovu gave Kiara a stroke on her cheek with his cheek.

''Thank's Kiara.'' he said.

With that, the three lion's were on their way to the Gorge. It was taking a long time to get there than Kovu remembered, since the three lion's were walking the same path Simba & Kovu took, before the event's of the ambush, but they were soon getting close. On the way, Vitani and Kovu were telling Kiara everything about Nuka, from how much neglect he felt when Zira was teaching Kovu to become King of Pride Rock, and eventually kill Simba while he mostly was just ignored by their mother.

Kiara: ''Oh my. I never knew how much Zira was that determined to make you King, including to kill father, Kovu.'' Kovu felt upset.

Vitani: ''Her only focus on Kovu led to his death Kiara. Mind you, it was his own fault.''

Then she explained to her how the Outsider's ambushed Simba, and how they chased him to the pile of logs that led to Nuka's death. Then Vitani told Kiara on how Simba tried to climb up the logs to escape, while just then Nuka volunteerd to kill Simba himself, but failed. But of course Vitani told Kiara why he was attempting to kill her father, so she would understand.

Kiara: ''Dont worry. I understand.''

Vitani: ''He only wanted to make Mother proud Kiara.''

Kiara: ''I can imagine. It must have been depressing for him, not feeling loved.''

Kovu: ''If only Mother could just let go of her hate, and focus on all of us, not just me, ALL of us, this would have never happened.''

Vitani: ''I told this to Kovu last night, that even though he used to call him a ''little termite'', because he was getting jealous of him of having all the attention from Mother, I'm pretty sure deep down he loved him.''

Kiara: ''You know what? He would have loved it at Pride Rock. It would have given him the chance to feel loved again.''

Vitani: ''And what was all this fighting for? Mother always told us that Simba, including you Kiara, and the rest of your pride were the enemies of us, and now when I think of what she told us, when me, Kovu & Nuka were young, she literally just brainwashed us into believing so.''

Kiara shook her head. ''I wish I knew him before.'' she said.

Kovu: ''Well he did know who you were Kiara. We all did. I just wish he got to know you better.''

After a while, the three lions were finally at the Gorge, where the Pride land's and Out land's were divided. Then they all looked at the view of the Out land's, where it was nothing but dry desert. Then they all looked down to the Gorge, which amazingly was still a river, and Kovu and Vitani said goodbye to their brother, while Kiara paid her respect's too.

Kiara then turned to Kovu and Vitani, who were both crying tears out of their eyes.

''He would be very proud with the both of you, I just know it.'' she said.

Kovu and Vitani both let out a smile to Kiara, and she smiled back in responce. After paying their respect's to Nuka, the three of them were ready to go home, but little did they know that they would have a huge surprise waiting for them that night...
