Chapter 45
As the pride began to emerge from their slumber with the rest of the animals on the African plains, Kuda walked back to Pride Rock with Lea and Sage. When they arrive to the great rock, Lea stopped.
"Lea what's wrong?" asked Kuda.
"It's hard to believe you live here. The great Pride Rock. It's almost like King Simba himself will walk right out of that den and come talk to you." Said Lea.
And almost instantly, Simba did.
"Kuda, Kovu wants you" Simba stopped when he saw Lea and Sage.
"Well hello. Kuda, who's this?" asked Simba.
Kuda looked at the two lionesses then back at Simba.
"Simba, I would like you to meet, Lea and Sage. My sister and my niece." Said Kuda looking back at the two lionesses.
"Hi. Kuda, you didn't tell me you had a sister." Said Simba.
"Yea. It's not really something I talk about." Said Kuda.
"Why not?" asked Simba.
"Yea big brother. Why didn't you tell anyone about me?" asked Lea with a smirk.
"Hush Up. And I've never talked about my family. Not since I left the pride." Said Kuda.
"Well that's interesting." Said a voice from behind.
Kuda and Simba turned around and saw Vitani standing with Kiara and Nala.
"Vitani." said Kuda.
"Good Morning dear." Said Vitani.
"Hi. Um.. Lea, Sage come here." Said Kuda.
Lea and Sage walked up the rocks and stood next to each other but came face to face with Vitani.
"Lea, Sage, this is my wife Vitani, Queen Kiara, and former queen Nala." Said Kuda introducing everyone.
"Hi." Said Vitani.
"Hello there. Wow Kuda, I didn't think you would end up with someone like her." Said Lea.
"What do you mean?" Asked Kuda.
"It's just that she's pretty and you're just so ugly." Said Lea playfully.
Kuda smacked her on her head.
"Ow you jerk!" shouted Lea.
"Knock it off." Said Kuda.
"Sage, why don't you go mingle with the other teens." Said Kuda.
"Other teens?" asked Sage.
"You don't have to be scared." said Kuda.
"Kiara has a son about your age. Right Kiara?" asked Kuda.
"Yea. I can call him out here if you want." Suggested Kiara.
"Oh no thank you." Said Sage.
"Stop being scared. Adin!" yelled Kuda.
"No stop uncle Kuda." Said Sage.
"Calm down." Said Kuda.
After Kuda had called Adin's name, he and Shanni appeared.
"Hey uncle Kuda, what's going on?" asked Adin.
"Adin I want you to meet Sage. My niece and your cousin Shanni." Said Kuda.
"Cousin?" asked Shanni.
"Yes Shay cousin. " said Vitani.
"Dad, you didn't tell us you had a sister." Said Shanni.
"Dad?" asked Lea.
"Oh, right. Lea, this is my daughter Shanni and my nephew Adin, and I don't know where Ari could be." Said Kuda.
"He's out with Imani again." Said Shanni rolling her eyes.
"Don't be a hater Shanni. You know you like Taja." Said Adin.
Shanni's heart skipped a beat and her cheeks began to turn reed.
"No I don't! Taja and I are just friends." Said Shanni.
"Yea? Well then why are you blushing?" asked Adin teasing.
"Shut up Adin!" shouted Shanni.
As Adin continued to laugh, Shanni swatted him on the head.
"Ouch!" said Adin.
"Sorry, my paw slipped." Said Shanni with a smirk.
"Ok enough you two. You fight like you're brother and sister." Said Kiara.
"He started it." Said Shanni.
"And now I'm finishing it. Now be nice and take Sage to meet the others." Said Kiara.
"Yes Mom." Said Adin.
"Yes auntie Kiara." Said Shanni.
When Shanni, Sage, and Adin left, the adults began to talk. After a while, a small group of unknown lions appeared. This was Lea's pride. And the introductions began again.
