A/N:Okay so this is the first part of the moment you all been waiting for. Sorry for the time jump.
Kovu smiled at the lioness next to him. Kiara and him just became mates and he couldn't be happier. But deep down he was hurting, not only had he lost his brother but last night he lost his mother as well. Most of the pride joined with him and Vitani. He's happy, he and Kiara can be together. Maybe. He still have somethings to tell his mate. The brown lion seen the golden lioness heading towards the nursery cave. He guess she was going to see her friend who he learned gave birth while he and Simba was talking.
"Kiara..."
The princess looked from the cave entrance to the sound of the voice and smiled when her amber eyes landed on her mate. She trotted over and buried her head in his darker brown mane. Kovu pulled away and sighed heavily.
"Kiara...there's something that I have to tell you"
The tone of Kovu's voice made the smile drop and her heart race. But before she could say something Vitani ran over.
"Kovu! We need to talk...alone"
Kiara nodded before nuzzling her mate and continuing towards the nursery cave. Once the light tan lioness knew that the princess was gone she turned to her brother.
"What are you going to do about Jaali? Or have you forgotten about your son!?"
Kovu growled at his sister. "Of course not! But don't you think he'll be better with his mother?"
Vitani stoic features soften. "If you want my opinion...no"
Kovu looked at the five minute older lioness in shock and surprise. "Care to tell me why"
Vitani sighed deeply before telling him about the abuse a few nights ago. "I seen Asali hit Jaali. He has a mark on his shoulder...it won't..."
The former Outlands' princess was cut off by a loud, angered roar. Before her blue eyes the prince consort bonded down the rocky stairs and into the savannah towards the Outlands.

Jaali laid in his mother's cave, waiting. For not only for his father but, his grandmother, uncle and aunt. The golden brown cub sighed before lying his head down. He was about to close his green eyes when his black rimmed ears twitched at the sound of a roar. The young cub jumped up and ran out of the cave. Just in time to see his father charge his mother. Sending the rusty golden lioness sailing. Asani growled and was about to attack when a light grey young lion blocked her path, his sapphire blue eyes blazing.
"Uziah!"
The young male growled at the older lioness, causing a few prices of his black mane to fall in his eye sight. Asani's eyes widen before shutting up.
"How dare you lay a paw on my son!?"
Asali have never had a reason to fear her bethroled till now. She was so scared that she had no words, neither did Jaali. But the rusty golden lioness found her voice when she seen Vitani pick up the cub and walked away with Uziah following. Once the three was gone he turned to his former lover.
"I'm with the princess now. I finally see the lies of my mother who is sadly dead"
Asali spit at him and growled. "Trader! You will regret this day Kovu! Enjoy that pampered spoil bitch! Because if I don't take action, I know that Jaali will for damn sure!"
Kovu snarled at the rusty golden lioness, as she and Asani lead the remaining of the outsiders away. He sighed before heading back towards Pride Rock. Now for the really hard part.
