Thank you for the reviews. I apologise for confusing those. I will try to make it less confusing. Also this is a bit sad. Now here's the third chapter, enjoy.

A few weeks has passed since little Nalimba was born. Kopa wasn't there for her birth but he hasn't left his daughter's side, much to Vitani's distaste. She wanted Kopa to herself and she has a plan to ensure that she's the prince's one and only. The perfect time to strike came when Ara went into labour. She swallowed her hate and offered to watch Nalimba. Tiffu, of course was hesitate to let her rival cubsit her daughter but as many pride members, including her mother and father was busy. The light tanned lioness grinned at the retreating forum of the creamy lioness and her sister in law. Once Vitani heard the painful roars of the in labour lioness she quickly placed a paw over Nalimba's tiny muzzle. The small creamy gold cub mewed but couldn't get free from the lioness' hold. With a satisfied grin she leapt to her paws before putting on a fear stricken face.

"Help! Somebody help!"

Kovu who was sitting by Simba, since the golden lion had returned from his daily visit to his parents graves. The dark brown king stood and walked over to his sister with concern in his green eyes. "'Tani, what's wrong?"

Tears fell from Vitani's pale blue eyes. "Nalimba stopped breathing!"

Simba gasped before running into the large cave where his daughter's sister in law ran out of. Vitani fell on her brother and sobbed into his darker brown mane. But in reality the light tanned lioness was laughing. When Simba exited the cave he held a limp bundle of fur in his chestnut muzzle. Kovu had a hopeful glint in his eyes but that died when his father in law shook his head. Laughter caused the three to look towards the rocky slope where Mheetu and Kopa walked up.

Vitani quickly rushed to the golden prince and buried her head in his brown mane. "Oh Kopa! It's horrible, Nalimba died!"

Kopa's green eyes widened but before he could ask Vitani further a sob caused his ears to perk before he turned to see Kiara embracing a weeping Tiffu. Kopa left Vitani and nuzzled the creamy lioness. Everyone watched as the two headed down the slope and into the savannah. Vitani smirked before slipping away to tend to her own cub and think of ways to get rid of Ara's cub. Kovu was holding his weeping mate as everyone grieved for the young life.

"Hey. What's taking everyone so long? Ara is-" Nala stopped at the cave entrance to see a lot of her family and pride members crying. "What happened?"

Mheetu walked over to his sister and collapsed by the older lioness' colorless paws. "My granddaughter is dead."

Nala didn't bother to fight off the salty liquid. "But...how?"

Mheetu shook his head, "We don't know. Vitani gave the news is all I know."

Nala lowered her head and nuzzled her brother, comforting him like he did for her when she thought Kopa was dead. "Simba." the golden lion looked up with sad, teary orange eyes. "Why don't you meet our new grandcubs?"

Simba nodded before entering the nursery den. As he reached the back he was greeted by the sounds of tiny mews. A welcoming purr edge him on. Lying in the back of the cave was the very exhusted Ara, nursing by her side was two beautiful cubs. One on the left was covered in dark beige fur as the one on the right was covered in golden yellow fur.

Ara smiled at the large golden lion. "Meet your grandsons, Alistair and Khairi."

Simba smiled lightly but couldn't get the fact that one of his granddaughters was dead. "That's wonderful, dear."

Ara frowned as her ears folded back. "Your highness, is there something wrong?"

Simba sighed deeply as more tears fell from his eyes. "I'm sorry Ara but Nalimba was found dead."

Ara gasped as she moved her cubs to in between her paws and moved them closed to her yellow chest. "Oh kings and queens." deep down she had a strong feeling that Vitani was behind it but she will keep quiet until she has proof.

"Yes. It's pretty sad. Kopa took Tiffu into the savannah to calm her." Simba informed the new mother.

Ara rolled her bright blue eyes. "Sure. Now I'm pretty tired."

Simba nodded before turning to exit the cave. After all while his son and Tiffu are away him, Nala, Kula and Mheetu have to prepare Nalimba's funeral.

BATB

A month has came and went, now two months old Almasi and brothers are allowed to venture out with their cousin and friend Zuberi, Dame Zuri's son she had with a rogue. Princes, Alistair and Khairi were also two months. This pacific day the cubs were in a lesson, it was a royal lesson for Kiara and Kopa cubs. As for Zuberi it was a lesson of knowledge and history.

"Today we learn about the abominations of hyenas and rogues."

Alistair, Khairi, Sirius and Kipawa shared unsure looks before turning their attention back to their grandfather. A small clearing of a throat caused everyone to look at the two month light golden prince.

"Mum, says that not all rogues or hyenas are bad."

A three and a half month golden tanned cub with scruffy golden tan tuff on her head rolled her green eyes. "It's because you're a mama's boy. You and Siri'."

Almasi smiled at the joke as a three and a half month Zuberi laughed as his dark blue eyes full of amusement. A low growl made the cubs quiet down and focus on their teacher.

Simba nodded at them before clearing his own throat. "Yes, the queen and king may think some are good but you can never be too careful. Take King Kovu for a example. He was sent to kill me and if he didn't find love with my daughter then I would of been dead. Rogues now have no ties in our pride, therefore they are extremely dangerous-"

"And don't forget unciviled."

Simba and his students turned to see Vitani at the entrance of the old Lion Guard Lair. The golden tanned cub squealed before running and nuzzling the light tanned lioness' front legs.

"Mama! How was your hunt?"

Simba frowned at the younger lioness, marriage his cousin. "Are you sure that is wise?"

Vitani smiled at her daughter. "It's was wonderful, Amara." then she moved her eyes to her daughter's grandfather. "Simba. I'm pregnant not crippled."

Simba rolled his eyes before turning back to his lesson. "Vitani is right though. Hyenas and rogues are unciviled beings. Remember, that rogues are banished from their prides for a reason. Hyenas are not any better, they don't respect the circle of life neither do rogues. Remember this when you see either and you'll be fine. Lesson over."

As Simba roared the cubs quickly ran out of the lair. Almasi, Zuberi and Amara went one way as the princes headed for priderock. The lesson confused them and they wanted answers from someone else. But when they came to the main cave they were greeted by the sight of their mothers embracing Lady Tiffu.

"Mom. What's going on?" Sirius asked with wide, confused green eyes.

Kiara pulled away from her friend and smiled at her sons and nephews. "Tiffu is going to have another cub. Isn't that great?"

Ara's golden yellow son looked at his brother and cousins with fearful bright blue eyes. Remembering the warning his mother gave him and Alistair. "This is not going to end well."

Sirius and Kipawa nodded. Knowing about the mating triangle that their uncle is caught in the middle of. As their father said 'Hell hath no fury like a lioness scorned.' Right now, their uncle is playing with dangerous fire.
