Chapter 11 - Namiya.

Kiara dashed to Rafiki's tree, happy that she actually had a chance to visit him. His huge tree was spotted and she then tapped it with her paw, knocking a few leaves off of the branches.

"Rafiki!" she called, looking above her. The baboon soon popped his head out, chuckling once he saw the young queen.

"My dear, how may ol' Rafiki help ya'?" he asked, climbing down from his tree.

"I just wanted to know how you were doing. And, I found this lost cub outside our cave and I need you to check her out." said Kiara, embracing the ape.

"Ol' Rafiki will do it! For de queen of Pride Rock. Let's get goin' den!" he said, barging her. They arrived after a few minutes, Nala and Simba were there and Sarabi and Sarafina were in the background. Sarabi was getting old, and nobody would be surprised to hear she died.

Sarafina was a year younger, she was grumpier, a bit old and cranky when she was awoken or disturbed for any silly reason.

"I hope you've apologized to my grand-daughter!" Sarafina snapped at Kovu.

"Um, yes... can you.. uh.. can you calm down, please?" said Kovu, moving away with the cubs.

"Yes, Sara. They've fixed themselves. Nala said so yesterday." said Sarabi, pushing herself into the conversation and giving Kovu a hand.

"I can't believe I'm always the last one to find things out about my family!" Sarafina retorted, moving to the front.

Rafiki and Kiara approached the cub. "Darling, Rafiki is here to give you a check-up." said Kiara.

Rafiki beamed at the cub - also noticing she was scared of him. Never had this cub been treated by a crazy baboon, nor did she have a check-up. She hid, quivering behind Kovu's comforting soft legs and afraid of what this ape might do to her.

"It won't hurt. I jus' need tah see if you are healtheh," said Rafiki, moving over to the cub. The cub obeyed and moved forward with a gulp.

Rafiki examined the terrified cub, seeing she had scars over her leg. "Was she abused in any way?" asked Rafiki.

Kovu and Kiara shook their head. Nieera moved forward, sitting next to Rafiki and staring at her sister. Niobe joined her as he returned from his lesson with Shani.

"Hey monkey!" he said, smiling. Nieera nudged him.

"He's not a monkey, he's a baboon! And his name's Raf.. Rafiki!" said Nieera, pulling her annoyed face.

"Either she was abused or she got caught in a thorn bush." Rafiki stated, moving to Kiara and Kovu. After Rafiki left, the cubs and the rest of the Pride had gone to bed early, they were out hunting all day.

Kiara and Kovu were up late, watching the stars.

"Where did this cub come from?" asked Vitani, also joining them.

"I don't know. Danira said that she had lost a cub. This cub was born still... what if it survived?" asked Kiara, building up her story.

"Possibly, but also very unlikely." stated Kovu.

"Kiara has got a point. She must've survived. Danira told me she buried this cub, and she named it Namiya." said Vitani. "If it survived, maybe it followed Danira's trail here and bumped into you!"

"She is old enough, so I suppose." admitted Kovu. "Hey, remember when Rafiki said she could've scraped herself on a thorn?" Kiara and Vitani nodded. "Maybe she fell down that thorn bush near the gorge and survived!"

"That's not possible." snorted Vitani.

"It is, my father fell down that bush when he was being chased by hyenas. This was after my grand-father's death, though." said Kiara.

"So, this is Nieera's true sister?"

"I think." said Kovu.

The next morning, Nieera and Niobe had gone to the waterhole. They stumbled across Danira's place. It was covered in beautiful white flowers - Danira's favorite color.

"What's this?" asked Nieera, seeing the flowers.

"Maybe it's just the normal flower bed that the hares live in." said Niobe.

"Let's just leave it. Father will tell me later." said Nieera, running off and Niobe chased after her.

Back at Pride Rock, Kiara and Kovu were sat with their new cub.

"Honey, we thought of a name for you." said Kovu, looking down to his daughter.

"What name?" asked the cub - slightly older than Nieera.

"Namiya." replied Kiara.

"Alright! I love that name. It sounds familiar.. but I don't really remember it." said Namiya. Kovu and Kiara looked at each other with concern. Was their story they made up real? Had they actually accomplished this cub's history?

Okay, this was chapter 11. On chapter 10, I forgot to mention Nzuri in the character's list. But in this bit it will be mentioned. Please Review! Can this cub really be Nieera's sister? Thanks for reading! As we know, no posting tomorrow because of school .. but I may post anytime this week. So.. be aware!

Characters

Nzuri - "Beautiful"- Nzuri is my made up character. She is beautiful and has purple feathers (Like Zuzu - Zazu's mother). She is very grumpy and picky as you can see in chapter 10. She is Zazu's mate.

Namiya - Namiya is FabulousMarony's character. She could be Nieera's sister. But she is also the adoptive cub of Kovu and Kiara. She is also a kind of dark sandy color, her claws are extended and she had green eyes. She is very much like Anara - brave, strong..etc..

Thanks for reading! Next chapter is soon!
