A/N:Well to be honest alot of stuff is going on besides Jaali. But yes they're going to try to save little Jaali.
Kovu stopped growling and stepped off the teen. His eye brow was raised in confusion as he watched the pale golden teen stand up and shake the grass and dirt from his pelt and growing ginger brown mane.
"Who are you and whose Hodari?"
After making sure that his mane and pelt was clean he looked at the lion who tackled him. He smiled sheepishly as his stormy sea blue eyes shined with embarrassment.
"Sorry about that...you look like my pride's leader. Minus the scar and green eyes."
"Hmm. And you are?"
The teen began to laugh. "Oh forgive me. I'm Akila"
Kovu looked at the teen hard. But sighed before standing and heading the way he was going. "The king will handle you. I have somewhere to be"
Akila nodded and stood before heading after the brown lion.

Kiara awoke with a yawn before looking at her side. A motherly proud smile formed on her muzzle at the sight of her cubs. Yes she wouldn't be able to have another cub with Kovu but at least she had the chance to have them. A sad sigh left the golden lioness' muzzle at the thought of her beloved. But those thoughts went to the back of her mind at the sound of someone walking in the cave. Kiara moved her amber eyes from her cubs to the cave entrance where she seen Kovu walking in. When Kovu's green eyes caught hers the brown lion smiled.
"Hi"
Kiara smiled lightly before looking away to hide the tears that began to fall. Kovu frowned before sitting near the weeping princess.
"I'm so so so sorry. I didn't mean what I said before. I was hurt, among other things. I didn't know how to face it so I latched out"
Kiara sniffed up some tears before looking at her mate. "You mean that?"
Kovu nuzzled the golden lioness lovingly which she returned with a loving purr. "Of course. I will accept your cubs like you did Jaali. I'll love them like I do my son. Even though Baruchel is their father but I will be there if they needed anything"
Kiara smiled lovingly. "I love you"
Kovu licked his mate's cheek and smiled back. "I love you too"

A frustrated roar echoed through the savannah of the no man land. Hodari was pacing as Sifa, Zuberi, Tama, Downey and Evans sat near by.
"Maybe it's for the best. After all Asali is after Jaali...it's best that we go and keep an eye on the boy." Sifa spoke up
"But they're not going to strike yet with Zira being weak." Evans informed
Sifa looked at his little brother. "Hodari, besides Jaali you have to go. Kovu and Vitani deserves to know. As well as the lost prince"
Hodari glanced at the members of his small pride before stopping at the young dark beige lion. He starred into those eyes that are so familiar. He knows but is surprised that Zuberi hasn't expect anything. Taking a deep breath the brown lion turned and started to walk away.
"Zuberi. Come"
Zuberi looked around at his other members who haven't moved. With a deep breath the dark beige lion rosed and followed Hodari.

Zuberi had followed Hodari to another clearing that was surrounded by a long, crucial creek. Birds from different colours and spices took flight at the arrival of the predators. Zuberi looked around in awe. This place was beautiful with different color flowers spread across for all to see and trees scattered on the side. In the middle of the clearing stood proudly at large tree with bending branches that gave a cool, refreshing shade. The two lions sat and the atmosphere went awkward from the quietness.
"Um...what did you want to talk about?"
Hodari looked from the towering shade to the younger male. "I brought you here to tell you about your past"
