A/N Hope everyone has a safe and fun day today. Thank you to my wonderful reviewers and alerters. Here's ch 2 for you.
Ch 2 More Misunderstandings
Kopa closed his eyes and waited for the pain to come. But to his surprise none came. Instead he heard the sounds of fighting. "Get the Hell away from them!" the familiar voice of Kovu was shouting.
"And don't you ever show your faces around here again!" Nuka roared. "If you do you'll all be dead!" Kopa opened his eyes and saw the retreating forms of Dogo and his crew, running full force back into the Outlands.
"Are you alright Ki'?" Nuka asked, helping his mate to her feet.
"Yeah," Kiara said, shaking her head to clear her vision. "I think so. Thanks to you my hero." Kiara gave Nuka a loving nuzzle followed by a lick.
"You ok Kop'?" Kovu asked, looking at his half brother with concern.
"Yeah," Kopa said with a grunt "I'm good 'Vu. Good thing you and Nuka came along. Otherwise Dogo and the rest of his Pack would have killed me and Kiara."
"Damn that Dogo," Nuka growled, his ruby red eyes stormy. "I knew he'd cause trouble again. I just didn't think he'd have the balls to actually come into the Pride Lands and attack like that."
"With Dogo all bets are off," Kopa said with a growl. "He's been after me ever since I turned on him." Just then Jasiri came running up to the group followed closely by Chafu and Vitani.
"Kopa are you alright?!" Jasiri cried out, running over to her boyfriend and nuzzling him. "Zazu told us that Dogo and his Pack attacked you and Kiara."
"Yeah he did," Kopa said with another growl. "But luckily Kovu and Nuka came along when they did."
"Yeah we decided on doing a little late night patrolling," Nuka said.
"Without me?" Chafu asked, sounding a little offended.
"Well we didn't wanna bother you," Kovu said. "You were spending some alone time with Vitani when we decided to go."
"Oh," Chafu said. "Well next time wait for me alright. I'm gonna be King soon and I need to get used to patrolling."
"Co-King," Nuka said with a smile. "You get to share that honor with me remember?" Nuka let out a slight laugh when he said this part.
"Yeah I know that Nuka," Chafu said, sounding irritated. "Don't talk to me like I'm a damn idiot."
"Geeze Chafu chill out will ya?" Nuka said, rolling his ruby eyes. "I didn't mean nothin' by that. Chafu growled and was about to go off again. Vitani noticed and nuzzled her mate to get him to calm down.
"Lets go back home," the tan coated Princess suggested. "Its been a really long night and I know we could all use some sleep."
"Good idea 'Tani," Kopa said with a smile. "I certainly could use some sleep." The rest of the group nodded in agreement and headed back to Pride Rock to get some much needed sleep. Little did they know that Cala was watching from the shadows and she was not pleased.
"Damn that Kopa," the rusty brown lioness thought. "He's gotta be the luckiest bastard in the world. I thought for sure Dogo and his Pack would finish him off. I'm glad Kiara didn't get hurt but damn it all if Kopa is still alive. Well I'll just have to talk with Dogo again tomorrow and form another plan. We'll have to find a way to get Kopa alone. That way no innocent parties will get hurt and it'll be easier to dispose of him. I'll be damned if I'm gonna allow him to live long enough to marry my daughter." With that Cala let out another growl and made her way back towards Pride Rock before some one noticed she was gone.

The next morning Kopa was up and about. Nuka and Chafu were out with Simba and Kiara and Vitani were out with Zira. Kovu and Safara went to have some alone time while the other lionesses sunbathed. This left Kopa alone which suited the creamy brown lion just fine. However he wasn't alone for long. Soon Jasiri found Kopa. "Hey you," the rusty brown lioness said, nuzzling Kopa.
"Hey yourself beautiful," Kopa said, returning Jasiri's nuzzle.
"I was hoping I'd find you," Jasiri said. "I need to talk to you about what you said yesterday."
"What'd I say yesterday?" Kopa asked with confusion.
"You know," Jasiri said. "All that stuff about not seeing cubs in your future ever. I thought we agreed that we want as many cubs as we can have."
"Yeah well maybe I've changed my mind," Kopa said, turning away from Jasiri.
"But why?" Jasiri asked, stepping in front of Kopa. But Kopa once again turned away from Jasiri. "I'm serious Kopa why the sudden change? Don't you want to have cubs with me? Don't you think I'd make a good mother?"
"Of course I do," Kopa said, nuzzling Jasiri. "And its not that I don't want to have cubs with you. Its just that..." Kopa trailed off, unsure if he wanted to continue.
"Just what?" Jasiri asked. But Kopa once again looked away from her. "Kopa please talk to me," Jasiri said. "How can I understand what's wrong if you won't tell me?"
"Look Jasiri you and I both know that I'd be a real shitty father," Kopa said roughly.
"Kopa that's not true," Jasiri began.
"Yes it is!" Kopa cried out, startling Jasiri. "It is true Jasiri and you know it! There's no way in Hell I'd subject some poor innocent cub to having me for a father!"
"But you know I want cubs," Jasiri said, her voice coming out soft.
"Yeah well I don't," Kopa said. "Not anymore at lease. Can we please just drop it?" Kopa was getting more and more irritated and angry and he was just wanting to get away from the situation before it got worse.
"Kopa I really think we need to discuss this some more," Jasiri insisted. "This is way to important to just drop."
"There's nothing to discuss Jasiri!" Kopa shouted. "And I just wish that you'd leave me the Hell alone and just drop this!"
"Kopa please stop shouting at me," Jasiri said, the tears coming to her brown eyes. Kopa's expression softened and he went to nuzzle Jasiri. But before he could suddenly Cala came flying in and put herself between Kopa and Jasiri.
"What the Hell?!" Kopa cried out, startled by Cala's sudden appearance.
"Mom!" Jasiri cried out at the same time. "What..."
"Get the Hell away from my daughter!" Cala snarled, baring her teeth at Kopa, who backed up a step.
"Whoa there Cala calm down," Kopa said. "What's wrong?"
"I could hear you shouting at Jasiri all the way down by the watering hole!" Cala snarled. "And its very obvious that my daughter is crying! What the Hell have you done to her you son of a bitch!"
"I didn't do anything to her!" Kopa cried out, shocked at Cala's accusation. "I swear Cala!"
"Mom its the truth!" Jasiri said, getting between her mother and Kopa. "Kopa and I were just having an argument that's all. Like all couples do!"
"Psh yeah right," a voice from behind the group said. The group turned and to their surprise they saw Moto standing there with Chana be his side. "Don't believe a word of it," the male jackal said. "We all know Kopa's a world class lair! And he's an attempted murderer! And now I'm gonna kill him for it!" Before anyone could respond Moto attacked Kopa, catching Kopa by surprise and sending him crashing to the ground. ""You'll never hurt anyone ever again!" Moto snarled as he hit Kopa hard across his face. "I'm gonna make damn sure of that!" With that Moto let out another snarl and raised his paw, fully prepared to slash Kopa's throat.
