I agree, poor Kiara. Here's to another chapter, enjoy.

Simba had spent practically the whole day negotiating with the water buffaloes and the elephants. When Simba did return to priderock, he was exhusted. As he raised his paw to step up the slope, his ears perked at the sound of a familiar voice calling his name.

He knew that it was Kiara calling him. But it's something about her calling him 'Simba' that makes him shiver in a pleasant way. The golden lion turned to face the incoming teen who was with Tiifu. But the dark cream teen broke off to head over to her brother, Moreau who was currently with their parents and Anna not that far away.

Simba went to say 'how was your day?' but when Kiara got close enough he saw that she was far away. "Kiara? Is something wrong?"

Kiara had more fresh tears falling down her cheek which made Simba feel more concerned. "Promise you won't hate me?"

Simba couldn't believe the what he just heard. He shook his head before pulling Kiara into a embrace, letting Kiara rest her head on his red mane. "Shh. There's nothing that you can do to get me to hate you. Absolutely nothing."

Kiara listened to his words and knew that he was telling the truth. So on the heat of the moment, Kiara pulled away before quickly crashing her muzzle onto the king's. When she finally came to terms with what was happening, she stepped back with a horrified expression.

"I-I am so...so sorry."

Simba stood, frozen to the spot he was. Staring blankly as Kiara ran off. A million of questions running through his head. What made her kiss him? More importantly, why did he like it so much?

A brush against the shoulder knocked the golden lion out of his head before turning to see his sister staring at Simba. He chuckled before looking away. "I assume that you saw that?"

Anna looked away and her brother's gaze, the direction of where Kiara ran and sighed. "We all did. What are you going to do? And don't say it's a faze, she'll outgrow it."

Simba groaned before turning his head back to face the creamy beige lioness. "Then what do you want me to say?! That I liked it, because I did! A little too much and it's eating me alive! Because I want more but it's wrong!"

Anna looked back to the area she was at with Mheetu and his family. Glad that they were no longer there, with a deep breath Anna turned back to her brother. "I am not a fool. Nor is half of the pride, Kiara has feelings for you and you have feelings for her. Make it official, dump that bitch you have now and take Kiara as your queen."

Simba shook his head before stalking off, calling over his shoulder. "It's wrong. She's only a teenager. I-"

Anna trotted a bit before jumping in Simba's path. "Kings take overly young lionesses as their mates all the time. This time, you'll be the king who does it out of love."

Simba looked away, thinking about what his sister said. He returned his focus on Anna as she began to speak again.

"Then wait for her to turn two. She'll be a full adult, better?" Anna asked with a smile.

Simba thought about it before dashing off after Kiara's scent. "Thanks sis! You're the best!"

Anna smiled before turning to find her own family.

...

Kion was placed in a pretty spacious cave. The golden lion that rescued him left to fetch the leaders of the pride they were in. A nice elderly lion had wrapped his sprained paw with some herbs and a large leaf. He also was given some foul tasting medicine to ease the pain, which was making him a bit drowsy.

A loud snarl, knocked Kion out of his drowsy state. Just in time to catch a young dark gold lioness enter the cave. Her dark green eyes boring into his very soul as she bared her teeth.

"Who the hell are you! Intruder!"

"Raiden!" the golden lion shouted, entering the cave. "He's a guest. Accepted by your parents."

A few new presences entered the cave. The first of the four entering the cave was a largely built, larger than the golden lion. He had a tawny beige pelt and a massive brownish mane. Followed by a insanely beautiful creamy white lioness, then a young tawny, brownish mane lion and a young creamy lioness.

The young lion and lioness was later joined by the snarling dark gold lioness, where the young lion stood in the middle.

The golden lion bowed before introducing the new lions with a bow. "The royal family of Artemis kingdom. King Caesar, his lovely mate Queen Mbuya. Their three children; Prince Philip, Princess Promis and Princess Raiden."

Caesar dipped his head in acknowledgement. "Thank you, Cullen. You are dismissed."

Cullen bowed once again before leaving the cave. Caesar cleared his thought, to get the attention back on him.

"Now you know who were are. May we know who we have welcomed into our home?"

Kion thought about a false name but if ever his real identity got out. It'll cause real trouble, of course he knew that his father probably warned the surrounding kingdoms that are alliance to the Pridelands about him. But Grandma Sarabi always said, to 'stay true'.

"My name is Kion. I am from the Pridelands. My parents are King Simba and Queen Nala."

"Hmm." Caesar nodded. "I heard a bit about you from the passing birds, young prince. I believe sometime will do you wonderfully."

Kion ran a lot of ways things could turn in his head but out of the hundreds of scencerios, this wasn't one of them. "I'll be honored, sir."

"Manners." Caesar laughed heartily. "I like you. Rest and we talk later about where to go from there."

Kion nodded in understanding before lying his head down over his crossed paws. He watched the royal family leave before closing his exhusted green eyes.
