A/N:CSIMentalistTLK lover-Well about that. I have some twists of my own for part two also. So what's about to come up will be different.

Twists of Fates II

Everyone was looking at Rafiki awaiting his report on Kopa's fate.

"As I said before," the aging monkey said. "I have examine de young Prince vedy carefully. And although his injuries are vedy serious he is still alive."

"Oh thank the Kings above," Simba said with a sigh.

"How bad are his injuries?" Kula asked leaning aganist Simba.

"De Prince has lost a lot of blood," Rafiki replied. "Also der was some damage done to his lungs which has made it vedy hard fer him to breath. However with de proper care and medication I see no reason fer dos problems to be solved. De biggest problem I see now is de head injuries de Prince has recived. Dos are vedy serious and he is in a coma. I will monitor him vedy closly fer de next week. Hopefully by den he will awaken."

"And if he dosen't?" Simba asked his voice shaking.

"We will deal with dat when de time comes," Rafiki said. "Fer right now I will get de medication from my tree. I shall return shortly."

"I'll give you a ride," Solange offered.

"Tank you my dear," the mandrill said with a smile.

With that Rafiki climbed on Solange's back and the two were off.

"Come darling let's go be with your son," Nia said gently.

Kula nodded and wiped her eyes with her paw. With that the mother and daughter went inside the cave to be with the injured Prince.

"Simba buddy you ok?" Malka asked gently.

"Well that's a dumb question," Shenzi said rolling her eyes. Malka shot the hyena a glare which she ignored. "Well it's the truth. Of course he ain't ok dummy. His kid is on the edge of death. How could he possiably be ok?"

"Listen here you," Malka said with a growl. "Let's get a few things straight here. First of all if you ever call me dummy again I'll rip you to shreads. Second of all do not speak to me ever. Got it?"

"Daddy be nice to her," Kiara said coming in from playing with the other five pride cubs and Nunzi.

"Kiara stay out of this," Malka said sharply. "This dosen't concern cubs and what were you doing palying with that hyena cub?"

"Mommy said I could," Kiara said softly.

"Tojo man calm down," Kyle said gently. "That attitude isn't helping anything."

"It's making it worse," Simba added suddenly. "Look Malka just lay off of Shenzi will ya? She's here because I want her to be. And I have more important things to deal with than your attitude. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to be with my mate and sick son."

With that the King went inside the cave.

"Malka honey Simba andKyle are right," Kavela said. "You really have go to learn how to get along with the hyenas."

"I know Mom," Malka said feeling guilty. "And I will. At least I'll try to."

"I know you will honey," the light pale golden lioness said with a smile. Then she turned towards Shenzi and said rougly, "And you need to learn respect. And fair warning next time I won't be so nice. Got it?"

"Yeah I got it," Shenzi said trying to keep her voice calm. "I'll play nice."

"Good," Kavela said.

With that the light pale golden lioness walked towards the others and sat down eagarly awaiting Rafiki's return. While they were waiting Nala turned towards her mate and said, "You know your Simba does have a point Mal. You really should lay off the hyenas."

"I'd expect that attitude from you," Malka snapped his blue eyes flashing with anger.

"And just what is that supposed to mean?" Nala growled her green eyes firery.

"Well I'd expect you to defend them," Malka said coldly. "Like the saying goes: Like father like daughter. You're just like Kesi"

"How dare you compare me to my father and sister!" Nala roared furiously. "I am nothing like them! Nothing at all!"

"Oh come on Nala you're more like Scar than you think," Malka said. "He liked having those filth around and so do you."

"As I recall Malka we both grew up around the hyenas," Nala shot back. "And I'm not the one who invited them here. Simba was. Are you going to compare him to Scar now?"

"Oh great attitude Nala," Malka hissed. "Or should I say Sarafina or Kesi?"

"That's it I'm outta of here!" Nala shouted angerily. "I can't talk to you when you're like this. Let me know when you're going to be civil. Until then I'll be at the watering hole."

As the others were waiting for Rafiki to return Simba and Kula were inside the cave with Kopa. Nia had gone out with the others in order to give her daughter and son-in-law some time alone. Once she had gone Simba gave Kula a comforting nuzzle. But instead of returning it the pale brown Queen pulled her head away roughly startling the King.

"Kula what is it?" Simba asked confused. "What's wrong?"

"You know damn well what's wrong Simba," Kula said roughly.

"Actually I don't," Simba said surprised by his mate's attitude. "Why are you being so cold towards me."

"This whole thing is your fault," Kula said her voice practially a growl.

"How can you say such a thing to me?" Simba asked hurt by his mate's words.

"Maybe 'cause it's the truth," Kula hissed her brown eyes stormy. "None of this would have happened if it wasn't for you. Kesi was out for revenge because you banished her and because of that she attacked our son. Therefore it's your fault."

"Ok first of all I didn't banish Kesi. She left on her own," Simba said trying hard not to shout. "And second of all I can't control what Kesi does. I tried to prevent this from happening in the first place."

"Oh yes by teaming up with those filthy hyenas," Kula shot back. "That's exactly what Scar would do. You're more like him than I thought."

Simba's mouth dropped open when he heard his mate say this. The golden King tried to speak but all that came out was a chocked sob. Letting out a furious growl Simba turned and stromed out of the cave practially knocking down Rafiki as he left. Rakifi walked over to Kula and began applying the medication to Kopa's wounds.

"I suppose you heard the whole thing huh?" Kula said with embarrassment.

"Ah yes I did," Rafiki repiled. "And I tink you were a bit harsh on de King."

"I know I was," Kula admitted. "Rafiki could you watch Kopa for a minute. I have to go find Simba and apoligize."

"Of course," Rafki replied as Kula was leaving.

As Simba reached the watering hole he found a Skye drinking there.

"Hey long time no see"

Skye looked up and smiled lightly. "I been around. You were just busy"

Simba sighed deeply. "I'm sorry Skye"

The pale light golden lioness waved her paw. "Family before friends. So you and Miss Perfect get into a fight"

Simba nodded. "She can be such a bitch sometimes"

Skye looked down before looking at the golden lion. "Hey you wanna take a little walk with me. Ya know clear your head?"

"Sure," Simba said.

"Let's go."

With that the two friends left to take a much needed breather.

Nala was on her way to the water hole when she ran into Mufasa.

"Hey. I haven't been able to say hi. Been busy"

Nala smiled a forced smile at her friend who caught it.

"Is everything alright, Nala?"

The creamy lioness sighed. "Just had a disagreement with Malka"

"Your mate?"

Nala nodded unsure what to say. Mufasa smiled warmly before nuzzling the younger lioness.

"How about a walk. That always help me when me and Sarabi get into a fight"

Nala smiled grateful at the golden lion. "I'll like that alot"

Mufasa smiled charmingly before the two went on their walk.
