((anyways... so do we start where Kovu saves Kiara?))

((Yeah sure))

Zira stood smiling with Kovu near her, smiling evilly, "Vitani and Nuka should be going with the plan,"

"Where am I?" Kiara asked.

"You're safe... in the Pride Lands." Kovu conferted.


" The Pride Lands... no! Why did you bring me here? Who do you think you are?" Kiara asked, bewildered.

"I think I'm the one who just saved your life!" Kovu yelped/


"Look! I had everything under control!"


"Not from where I'm standing."


"Then move downwind."

The lions confront each other. Kiara begins jumping from side to side, as she had done in their earlier encounter as cubs. Soon Kovu's interest is piqued.


"What are you doing?" Kovu asked with a chuckle.

kiara gasped as she reconized him. "Kovu"

"Kiara!" Simba yells from a distance



Simba and the lionesses from Pride Rock arrive. Simba jumps in front
of Kiara, snarling and growling

"Kiara! You're all right," NAla says as she nuzzles Kiara

"Father... how could you brake your primise?"

"It's a good thing I did. I almost lost you. No more hunts for you; not ever!" Simba said strenly

"But I was doing just fine!- even before Kovu."

"Kovu?" he roars at Kovu again,


Nala is surprised at Simba's ferocity "Simba?" Simba glares at Nala


Rafiki has arrived, and is standing on the hillside behind Simba.

"Hey! You! How dare you save the King's daughter?"

Simba look says surprised, "YOu saved her? why?"

"I humbly ask to join your pride" Kovu said.

Almost immediately Simba says " No! You were banished with the other Outsiders."

"I have left the Outsiders. I am a rogue. Judge me now, for what I am... or am I to be blamed for a crime I didn't commit?"

Simba snarls and paces around. Nala looks hard at him.

"Simba... you owe him your daughter's life." Nala says


Zazu then lands in front of Simba "Mmm... yes, sire. Clearly we are in his debt... and royal protocol
demands that all debts be paid. Though in this case you might want to
make an exception."

Simba paces a few moments more, then comes to a decision.


"Hmmm. My father's law will prevail. For now, I reserve judgment. We'll
see who you really are." Simba said and walked off

Kovu smiles inwardly and looks sidelong at Kiara, who smiles back at him. Zazu turns his back on Kovu.

"Hmph! Riffraff." Zazu flies off. All make their way back to Pride Rock, with Kovu walking behind Simba and growling to himself.

As night falls over Pride Rock, Simba notices Kovu about to go into the inner cavern with the lionesses; he jumps in front of Kovu with a growl and intimidates him away from the cavern opening as he goes inside. Kovu walks out onto the rocks to sleep. Kiara goes out to speak to him.

"Hey... uh, thanks for saving me today." Kiara said, blushing.

"What kind of hunter are you, anyway-- Princess? You almost got yourself killed out there."

"What?"

"You wouldn't last three days on your own."

"Oh... and I suppose you could teach me?"

"Heh... yeah."
