"I DON'T LIKE HER!!!"

Tama walked at Chumvi, who was crying next to a rock. "Chumvi?" Tama called, approaching him. "What do you want, Tama?" Said Chumvi sobbing. "I... i came here to-" Tama tried to say, but Chumvi interrupted her: "You came here to laugh in my face, right?! I... i don't like Nala! She is... is... just a friend." "No, Chumvi." Tama continued. "I didn't came here to laugh from you. I came here to TALK." "Oh... i'm sorry, Tama." Chumvi blushed. "It's okay, Chumvi. Everyone likes someone in this world. For example: i like you." Tama smiled, licking Chumvi's check. Chumvi blushed once again, now smiling. "Thanks for the comfort, Tama!". Tojo and Kula watched from far. Kula growled: "Grrr! What you brother want with Tama?!" "Jealous! First, you laugh in his face. Now, is all jealous for him!" Laughed Tojo. "Oh, shut up Tojo!" Kula laughed, jumping in him. "Pinned ya!". The four cubs spent the whole afternoon talking, until the night came. Chumvi and Tama sleeped together, as if love surrounded them.

The time passed and the cubs grew up. The boy's hair tuft was now bigger, meaning that their mane was going to appear soon. In one night, Tojo walked at his mother: "Mother? Are you awake?" "Now i am..." Uzuri growled softly. "What do you want?" "I'm thirsty. Can you come with me at the Water Hole?" Tojo begged, making "Lion Eyes". Uzuri smiled: "Okay, Tojo. Let's go." Mother and son walked to the Water Hole. They drank together, until Uzuri herd the hyenas. The hyena's group was large and both mother and cub didn't had much change. "Tojo..." Uzuri said softly. "... hide. Now." Scared, Tojo ran to the taller grass. He couldn't see anything but herd his mother and the hyenas fighting. Quickly, he ran to the Pride Rock: "Sarabi! Sarafina! Anyone!" The lionesses woke up with the screams. "Tojo!" Sarabi said. "What's wrong?" "M-my m-mother... hy-hyenas attacked h-her!" Tojo could barely talk. Sarabi and Sarafina ran to the Water Hole with Tojo, fast as they could. When they reached there, they smelt blood. Tojo's eyes got covered with tears when he saw his mother all scarred, laying down in the ground. "MOTHER!!!" Tojo screamed, running to her. He nuzzled his mother, who was alive. "T-Tojo..." Uzuri could barely talk. "Mother, please... d-don't leave m-me!" Tojo cried, sinking his face into Uzuri's neck. Uzuri slowy raised paw, touching Tojo. "Tojo, l-listen..." Uzuri tried to talk. "... even if you c-can't see me, i'll be a-always here to p-protect y-you." Listening to his mother's words, Tojo licked his mother's face. Weakly, Uzuri looked into Sarabi's eyes and said softly: "Take... good... care... of... of him... Sarabi..." Those was her last words. Slowy closing her eyes, Uzuri left Tojo and her Pride. "Mommy...? MOMMY!!!" Tojo screamed falling above Uzuri's body. He couldn't do anything to bring his mother back to life.

Sarabi and Sarafina returned to the Pride Rock. Tojo was depressed and not wanted to play or talk very much. When the sun was raising, Sarabi talked with him. "Tojo? Already awake?" Sarabi purred. Tojo didn't answer. He probably wanted to be alone. Approaching him, Sarabi asked: "Do you remember your mother's last words?" Tojo looked at Sarabi, still in "mute mode". "Your mother..." Sarabi continued "... said that she was going to be with you forever, right?" "But she isn't!" Tojo growled, with tears in his eyes. Sarabi sighed. "One day you'll understand, Tojo." Sarabi left the cub and lay down back to her sleep. Tojo was confused: how could be her forever with him if she died? "Sarabi..." Tojo walked to her. "... did she say something for you before die?" Sarabi smiled. "Yes, Tojo. She wanted me to take care of you." Sarabi raised and walked at Tojo, licking his head. Tojo smiled a little: his mother was back to him.

The cubs now turned into strong, healthy teens. Unfortunately, Tojo and Chumvi had to leave. When the sun was getting down, Ni, a rogue lion, waited for the younger ones. Nala saw Ni from far and ran to Tojo, Chumvi and Mheetu (now more bigger). "Boys!" Nala said "It's time. Ni is waiting for you." Tojo and Chumvi walked at the bigger lion, with Nala following them. In her mouth, Nala was holding her little brother Mheetu. "Nala, who's this big lion?" Mheetu asked, scared. "His name is Ni. He's an old friend of mine. He'll take care of you, Tojo and Chumvi." Saying this words, Nala dropped Mheetu in the front of Ni. Nuzzling Ni, Nala said: "Take good care of him, Ni!" Ni smiled at his friend and picked Mheetu up. Nala looked one more time to his brother and whispered: "I love you, Mheetu!" Walking away, tears rolled from Nala's eyes. "Nala! Please, don't leave me!" Mheetu cried. "Nala! NALA!!!" Nala didn't turn. "Don't worry, little one." Ni tried to comfort the cub. "We will be back to visit your sister..." Then, the four lions left... to live.

Scar had a new queen: Zira. Despite having Zira as queen, Scar didn't love her. One say, watching the Pride Lands in the Pride Rock top, they had a talk. "I need a heir, Zira. If i didn't, who will rule the Pridelands when i die?!" Scar growled. "I can carry a heir for you if you want, my dear..." Zira nuzzled him. "Let's talk about this later..." Scar smiled. After a few weeks, Zira discovered that she was pregnant with her first cub... Scar's son and heir. Nala noticed that Zira's belly was every day more bigger. She warned the lionesses, who almost entered in panic. If Zira and Scar had a dark soul, what about their cub? The months passed and Zira gave birth to a small and weak cub. "What is THAT?!" Scar roared. "Your son, Scar!" Zira tried to defend her son. "It can't be! I want a healthy and strong heir, not a little rat!" Scar growled, leaving the den. Then continued. "He'll be not showed to the Pridelands. If you have any next cub, it'll be the heir." Zira was sad. How could Scar regect his own son...? Looking at the newborn cub, Zira whispered. "I'll name you Nuka... my little Nuka."

After a long time, Kula and Nala turned into healthy, strong and pretty lionesses. Every day that passed, was more harder to live. At the night, Sarabi reunited all lionesses, except Zira. "We can't hold this anymore! Scar will end killing all of us! We need to do something!" She growled, standing in a rock. "Why won't we attack Scar?!" One lioness suggested. "Never!" Sarabi roared. "The hyenas will end killing us. Nala, you'll leave the Pride Lands at the morning and search for help." Nala nodded to the older lioness. Some lionesses got angry for Sarabi not allowing a attack and the others worried about Nala. Before the sun raised, Nala left the Pride Lands and ran fast as she could. But everything was dead and desert. Nala started to lost her hope and she was hungry, very hungry...

Nala entered in the forest. She had finally found water, something she didn't saw for a long time. After drink water, she felt hunger. Maybe there was prey near? Hidding in the grass, she saw a fat warthog. She stalked him ultil he saw her and ran away. Running fast as she could, her hunt had started. Then, it simply disappeared. "Where it is now?" Thinked her to herself. Then, she saw him: stuck in a tree's root. "It's now!" She thinked again, already jumping in the prey. But then, a golden lion with red mane attacked her...

The rest you already know. (;
