Author's Note:Fangirl Fluffy; Yes Kovu mated with Vitani but in order to keep Kiara safe. I needed a villainand Tama and Vitani are perfect.
Asaf; There's a lot of reactions. No other than revenge.
ThatTexasKid; It never is. But Tama and Vitani aren't alone.
TMNTMentalistTLK lover; Yeah I agree. Vitani's bad, as for Kiara we have to wait and find out.
Before I began I want you to know that Mheetu now looks something like Nala from TLK2 with a dark brown tuff on her head and stormy blue eyes. Now without further ado here's chapter eight.
Mheetu sat by the western border looking in a small pond nearby. He...well she still couldn't believe that she's a lioness. It's only been a half of day since she and Kopa landed back on earth. She looked up and over to sleeping creamy yellow teen. A smile formed before her ears perked at the sound of a defining roar. Mheetu turned her brilliant eyes from the young male to see a group of lions running towards her and Kopa. Mheetu's ear flickered at the sound of a yawn.
"What's going on?"
Mheetu turned her attention from the lions to the former dead prince."Your father has been notified. So be prepared...it's not going to end pretty."
As the group got close enough, Mheetu seen it was in deed Simba with her sons and Kiara. What she is about to say, is crazy and is not only going to upset her sons but Simba as well. As not only is his lost lover has returned from the dead as a different sex but his deceased cub is also back from the dead. With a deep breath she focused on the snarling golden lion. Even with the wise words of the princess, he still is questionable about rogues.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my kingdom?!"
Mheetu looked the lion king over. Boy has he grown a bit. She has been watching since she was let into heaven. But now that she was looking at him up close...wow! She shook her head and sighed.
"You won't believe me. I mean I wouldn't but what I am about to tell you is the honest truth. I'm Mheetu, the former son now daughter of the deceased Lyloki of the Grasslands and Kali of the Pride Lands." the light cream lioness moved her stormy blue eyes to the creamy yellow teen standing behind her. "And this is the former deceased Prince Kopa, son of you and Queen Nala."
There was a moment of silence before the golden lion roared in rage. "You are right. We don't believe you. The Mheetu you speak of is not only dead but a lion! As for that other low life you have with you is not my son! He was murdered by..."
"Zira. I know."
The four pridelanders were shocked to say the least. How this lioness know that? That question was running through the minds of the three pridelander males. Kiara looked between her father and the lioness that mention her deceased mother in law. The golden orange lioness is in the dark about her mate's true parenting. The future queen of the Pride Lands so far only knows that her mate shares the same father with Hal, Loki and Talia. Since Mheetu wasn't spoke of until two days ago. But Kiara still don't know who he is...well guess now it's who she is.
Simba shook his head, his massive red mane whipped back and forth. "How the kuzimu do you know that?!"
Simba's teeth was bared, as well as his sharp black claws. The golden lion was ready to strike. Mheetu noticed this and took a step back as she kept her eyes on the large male.
"I know because I was there. I was to late...but I fought Zira."
"Lies!" Simba roared.
Mheetu and Kopa shared fearful looks before looking back at the snarling golden lion. Simba was about to pounce when a battle cry was heard followed by a brown stick hitting Simba on the head.
"Ahhh." Simba cried out as he grabbed his head and looked to see who hit him.
Now standing in between Mheetu, Kopa and the pridelanders was none other than Rafiki.
"Rafiki! Why did you hit me?!"
The baboon shook his head as he clicked his teeth. "You were about to attack your lover and your son."
The three young lions with Simba gasped. For they were shocked to know that their fierce king is bisexual. But Hal and Kovu were shocked beyond words. King Simba loves their father? This is all confusing, especially for Kiara since that was the third time it was mentioned that her father is also the father of the creamy yellow teen.
Simba growled in annoyance. "You can't tell me you believe them! What they are saying is impossible!"
Rafiki nodded before looking up to the cloudless skies. "Yes it is impossible for many but not the great rulers of the past. Your father and grandfathers have granted Mheetu and Kopa life again. To fulfil their hopes and dreams. But the second chance came at a price and that was to change Mheetu into a lioness. Prince Kopa is a teen and not a young lion because they wanted him to live a bit more before growing up."
Simba and the young pridelander lions listened to the Sharman's words. As unbelievable it all is, Rafiki will never lie about something like this and he does speak with the deceased. Hal looked at the lioness and calmed to be his father. He looked into her stormy blue eyes and gasped. His sister has a lighter shade than their father's. But this lioness has the exact same shade and she looks just like his father but feminine. The light cream lion shook his head and with a loud sob he ran off. Mheetu pinned her ears as she watched her oldest run off. To have a stick hit her on the head.
"Ow! What was that for?"
Rafiki glared at the lioness. "Go after your son! I'll take care of things here!"
Mheetu looked at Kopa who was looking down. She looked at her youngest and last cub, the brown lion looked out of place as well as the princess. She moved her stormy blue eyes to Simba. The golden lion shook his head and ran off. With a heavy sigh she ran off after Hal.
-TOAAII-
Hal ran towards the gorge on near the north. The very one where his father let go. Once near the edge the light cream lion collapsed with a heartfelt sob. Tears streamed down his face as he began to think. For last two years that his father, his best friend and idol was dead. Now on the very day that marks three years a lioness comes claiming to be his father. Since his father's death he had been doing everything possible so he wouldn't have time to rest. Like visit neighboring kingdoms, that's five in total. Keeping guard of the Outland border, till recently the nightmares plague his mind. He sniffed up some tears before his ear flickered at the sound of approaching paws. He sat up and looked over his shoulder to see the lioness from earlier. His father...well mother.
"I am so sorry I put you through this. I shouldn't have let go."
Hal turned away and looked at the river below. "Why did you?"
Mheetu sighed before walking over and sitting by the young lion's side. "I wasn't thinking clearly. I thought I had nothing to live for...since the true love of my life wouldn't love like I love him. But now that I do...Hal this is all too much for me too. The fact I am a lioness is extra. You and your siblings don't know how much I'm sorry."
Hal looked up with tears in his eyes and for that moment his light blue eyes were identical to Mheetu's. "You must be if you came back. It hurts but now you are here and that's what matters the most right now."
Mheetu smiled lightly before nuzzling her son. "I love you, my son."
Hal raised a eyebrow. "Um..what I do I call you. Dad or mom?"
Mheetu's ear flickered before she shrugged. "I guess mom."
Hal smiled before nuzzling his now mother. "I love you, mom."
Mheetu smiled before looking up and noticed that the sun was setting. "We should head back. I'm sure your mother is worried about you as well as the pride."
Hal nodded before standing. "Yeah and there's someone else you have to explain this to."
Mheetu sighed heavily as she walked across the kingdom by her son's side. "Tell me about it."
Hal looked at his mother and smiled. "On a lighter note thank the kings and queens that Talia named my niece Skye instead of Mheetu."
Mheetu chuckled as mother and son continued towards pride rock.
