Author's Note:Fangirl Fluffy; I'm glad you like female Mheetu and yes there's a lot of possibilities. As for Tama and Vitani, every story needs villains.

Asaf; Yeah he's a lioness. As for Kopa, I didn't make him adult because I wanted him to live a life before having grown up reponsabilites.

ThatTexasKid; I figured you would get a kick out it. I wasn't sure but there's more shocking to come.

TMNTMentalistTLK lover, I think so too. I'm glad you thought so.

As night rolled in everyone at pride rock was sound asleep. All except one, the prince consort twist and turned. Some how unable to fall asleep. Kovu opened his green eyes with a annoyed groan. He looked around to see everyone sound asleep, even Talia and Justin was asleep along with their cubs. He looked at his mate and smiled lovingly at the golden orange lioness. There's nothing more he want than to start a family of his own with her. But that time will come. With a yawn the dark brown lion stood with a stretch. He figured a walk under the stars would help him with his sleep problem. Giving Kiara a nuzzle and a lick on the head, the prince consort headed out the cave. Careful to not wake any one, as he climbed down the rocky slope the dark brown lion was oblivious to a pair of sapphire blue eyes watching.

Kovu strolled through the green grass, enjoying the the beautiful scenery nighttime gave the kingdom. The animals were asleep with their families, minus the predators that hunt at night and the unlucky prey that's running for their lives. Kovu walked down a steep path, that led to the big water hole that went on for miles. At the edge the dark brown lion bend over and lapped up the cool liquid. He closed his eyes to enjoy the refreshing belvege to snap them open as his ears perked from a nearby bush rustling. Kovu turned and looked at the bush before growling.

"Who's there?!"

A amused, dark laugh came from the bush, followed by the body of a light tan lioness. "Calm down, cobra."

Kovu relaxed before letting out a sigh of relief. "It's just you. I thought you were somebody else, Tani."

Vitani faked like she was hurt before smiling. "Oooh. Waiting for the wife..."

Vitani purred before rubbing her lower back under Kovu's chin. Kovu backed away with a growl.

"Vitani!"

The light tan lioness rolled her eyes. "Oh come on. Your father mated with more than one! Besides...I'm lonely..."

Kovu was surprised about his father mating with more than one but shook his head before growling. Vitani laughed darkly before she started to circle her adopted brother.

"No? Well than...I hate for Kiara to have a accident."

Kovu's eyes widened before he snarled. "You wouldn't!"

Vitani sneered with a evil grin. "Can't I? I am Zira's daughter after all..."

Kovu sneered before sighing in defeat. Vitani laughed before licking the dark brown lion across the cheek.

"I knew you would see in my way..."

-TOAAII-

"YOU DID WHAT!?"

Simba flinched from the roar as a fuming Talia paced back and forth. "It's for the pride and it's not mandatory."

Talia growled. "My cubs...it want my cubs to live their own lives!"

Malka and his pride sat to the side watching it all. As they had nothing to say or they didn't want to say something and have the light cream lioness' anger directed towards them. Justin sat in his family's corner in the cave with Evans and Skye in between his paws.

"They will, if any of the cubs find love with someone else the bethrole is off without any fight."

Talia looked at the golden lion that she was brought up to know as uncle and sighed. "Alright. My cubs do need a partner to rule with and there's no other cubs in the pride."

"Yet." Kiara beamed smiling at the dark brown lion by her side.

Kovu gulped before smiling and nuzzled the golden orange lioness. Who purred as she nuzzled back. Simba smiled at his daughter and son in law before looking towards the cave entrance as his ears perked.

"Sire!"

Simba sighed heavily, now a days whenever Zazu is frantic things must not be good. After rubbing his temples under his thick red mane he moved his orange eyes to the blue hornbill.

"What's the problem, Zazu?"

Zazu took deep breaths to calm his still racing heart. "Sire on the west side of the Pride Lands I spotted two rogues. A lioness and a young male."

Simba groaned before looking at his heir, who had Kovu and Hal by her sides. "You three follow me."

Kiara felt nervous, this is her first time handling rogues. But she knew as future queen this is something we have to do. With a deep breath the golden orange lioness stood along with Kovu and three young lions followed the lion king out of the cave, towards the western border.
