Chapter 70
The Pride Land family watched as the hyenas and other lions ran off into the distance.
"Well everybody. Let's go home." Kovu said.
"Wait, Uncle Kovu, what do we do with Zira's body and Manny?" Shanni asked.
Kovu looked over and saw Zira's dead body and Manny's dying body. His breathing was slow but surely enough he would soon die.
"Mason, it's your call. You can either save him or let him go." Kovu said.
"Save him but banish him. That is no longer my brother." Mason said.
He turned and walked away towards the back of pride rock. Samba and Kovu walked over and lifted Manny onto their backs. They took him to Raffiki's tree. Then the two males returned to pride rocked where they were greeted by Faith.
"Daddy! Grandpa!" Faith shouted.
"Hello my darling." Simba said.
"My beautiful little girl." Kovu said.
"Is everything all right now?" Faith asked.
"Everything is fine." Kiara said as she walked over.
Faith hugged her mother's legs and Kiara licked her on her head.
"Our family is together. We may have lost some but we gained others." Kovu said.
Looking at the pride, Kiara and noticed Kiana, Seniti, and Amari were gone. Kiara's friends and old followers of Zira's.
"Don't worry, they will be remembered." Kovu said when Kiara began to cry.
The king held his queen close and looked through the lions of the den.
"We are one." Kiara said.
"Always and Forever." Nala said.
As things began to get back to normal, Shanni noticed someone was missing.
"Hey, where are Ari and Imani?" she asked Tara who was cleaning one her small wounds.
"Oh they're somewhere." Tara said with a smile.
"Don't worry Shay. Your brother is an adult now. He will be fine." Tara said.
Shanni raised an eyebrow and shrugged her shoulders. Then Taja and Adin walked over with Shiku and Melody.
"Hey beautifuls." Taja said.
"Hi." Shanni said and smiled.
"So are you two a thing now?" Melody asked.
"I don't know. Are we Taja?" Shanni asked as she looked at Taja. He smiled at her.
"Well, it's alright with me if you accept." Taja said.
"Then I accept." Shanni said.
"Eww. Shay, I love you but you can do so much better." Melody said.
"Shut up." Taja said.
Melody made a face and laughed at her brother.
"So does anyone know where Ari and Imani are?" Shiku asked.
"Let's just say, they're always with us." Tara said.
She left everyone confused and laughed when she saw their expressions.
"So, Imani isn't your real sister?" Melody asked.
"No. She's my adopted sister. Her mother adopted me when my mother died." Shiku said.
"Oh. I'm sorry." Melody said.
"It's ok. It's not your fault." Shiku said.
Melody smiled and laid her head down. She liked Shiku and it was really obvious.
"Hey Shiku, do you like anyone in the pride?" Tara asked.
"Well, I have had my eye on this one lioness but I don't think she likes me that way." Shiku said. Suddenly, Melody's heart began racing.
"Who is it?" Taja asked.
"Melody."" Shiku said looking down. Her eyes shot open.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yea." Shiku simply said.
"Well now you guys are officially a couple." Shanni said.
And that they were. Nighttime was setting and all the lions were ready for bed. The sound of snoring was comforting and everyone was happy about how today's events turned out.
In the Savannah:
"Are you sure you want to leave? Everyone we love is here." Said Imani.
"I know but, wouldn't it be nice if we started a pride of our own?" Ari asked.
"I guess it would be nice. You want to leave right now?" Imani asked.
"Yes. The sooner the better." Ari said.
Imani sighed and smiled up at Ari.
"Ok big guy." Imani said.
Ari smiled and kissed Imani on the cheek. And with that, the two lions disappear into the night. Ready to begin a family and pride of their own. Little did they know, their cubs would be a part of the great Circle Of Life.
