Vitani got back to Pride Rock early in the morning, she dropped Kula onto the ground and smiled at the young brown cub who was staring back up at her, "Welcome to your new home Kula," Kula gazed around the inside den of Pride Rock, she shivered abit, but she shook it off and smiled, "I really like it Vit- I mean, mom," Vitani giggled, then Kovu padded into her den, standing tall like the king he is, with his head held high, he stared down at Kula as she bent down so her muzzle was on the ground looking scared, "Sister... Who is this cub?" Kovu asked with a serious voice on him, Vitani picked Kula up infront of her and whispered, "Stay tall dear, this is my brother, and king of our lands, the Pridelands, he's very nice," Kula looked up at Vitani, a small smile formed on her beautiful light muzzle, Vitani's mouth opened to speak, "Trust me..." Kovu grinned abit, "Vitani, I asked you a question," Vitani looked up at her brother and gave a grin, "Oh yes, this is Kula, she was attacked by..." Vitani stopped to think, she new Kovu wouldn't belive her if she said Kula was attacked by Kopa for Mohatu knows how long, so she just came up with the easiest of things to say, "She was attacked by a group of rogues and some hyena's," Kula looked confused, Vitani winked at her, Kula then remembered Vitani saying the whole of the Pridelands thought Kopa was dead, so she went through with Vitani's made up event, "Oh well, are you taking care of her Vitani?" Kopa asked her, she smiled at Kovu, "Yes, Kovu, is that okay," Kovu chuckled at Vitani, "Of course sister! I'd love to have a niece, she'll make some great friends for sure," Kula smiled at Kovu, Kovu bent down and Kula padded towards her new uncle, Kovu, "I love you Uncle Kovu," She put her small paws on Kovu's muzzle, Kovu patted her head with his paw and padded out of the den, "And sister... You'll make a great mother to Kula," Kovu told Vitani, padding out of Vitani's den, Vitani smiled as her paw rapped around Kula soft and small body, "Thank you Kovu... Thank you," Vitani picked Kula up and lay down putting by her side, they fell asleep after a long walk from Kopa's den.
Back at Kopa's den, Kopa sat down staring at the back of his cave thinking of what happened, "What have I done? I'm so stupid!" He lay down and thought for awhile, then he heard chuckling and giggling coming towards the den, he thought they were hyena's, but it was King Kovu and Queen Kiara chuckling and thinking about their new son, "Shall we call him Maalik?" Kiara nuzzled Kovu, "How about, Kesho?" Kovu liked that name... "Perfect! Our Kesho," Kiara grinned and finished off Kovu's scentence, "Is still in my tummy," The king and queen laughed, Kopa jumped out infront of them and screamed Kiara's name, "KIARA!" He jumped towards her Kiara pounced on Kopa, "Kiara! Leave it to me, you're pregnant, I don't want you or our cub to get hurt," Kovu stepped infront of Kiara and growled at Kopa, "Who are you? Rogue..." Kopa was shocked, he then thought of what he just said, he should've thought about it, "Well, ummmm... It's me Kopa, Kiara's little brother," Kiara growled aswell, "How can you be he's DEAD!" Kiara sprinted off, tears in her eyes, Kovu frowned at Kopa, "Thank you rogue for making my queen so upset, think about what you say..." Kovu turned his back and followed Kiara home, Kopa had a tear come to his eye, he frowned and walked into the Outlands...
Later that day Kiara's son, Kesho was born, his presentation was a hit, animals were wailing and cheering to the new king... But he was VERY premeture, he was to weak to become king, Rafiki thought he wouldn't make it, but it was a miracle... He did... Kovu knew he and Kiara would have more cubs and so the next cub would be the heir, although he was worried he'd turn evil and kill his sibling like Scar, he shook his mighty mane and got that out of his brain, he just bent down and looked at his new son... Prince Kesho...
Months later Vitani fell pregnant with a male cub, along with Kiara, with a female cub, Vitani and Kiara started hanging out more often, Kiara was exchanging tips on how to raise her cub fromĀ a newborn, Vitani was asking Kiara the questions. Kovu explained to Kesho he wouldn't be king and his new little sister would become queen. Kesho was okay with that, he was happy for his little sister, Kovu still took him out for kingly lessons and Kesho was always around Grandpa Simba and Grandma Nala, he loved their stories. Vitani never went out since she found out she was pregnant, Kiara and her family started worrying about her, Kiara walked into the den where she heard Vitani grieving in pain, "Vitani... Whats wrong?" Vitani looked up, a tear rolled down her left cheek, "No, I'm not Kiara," Kiara sat down and put her paw over her head, "Whats wrong Tani? I'm your sister in law, I want to help you," Vitani forced a smile, "Well, if I tell you won't belive me," Kiara sighed, she removed her paw from Vitani's shaggy fur and lay down next to her, "Of course I will Vitani, spill," Vitani chuckled slightly and Kiara's childish language, "Well, when I found Kula," Kiara lifted her right eyebrow, "Yes?" Vitani sighed, "Well, I found someone else, YOU might know," Kiara was starting to turn serious, "Who?" Vitani sighed once again, "Well, I found," Vitani gulps, "Kopa..." Kiara stood up and frowned at Vitani, a tear rolled down her left cheek, "Is this, t-t-true?" Vitani stood with her, "Yes, it's true, he attacked Kula, he promised he would stop, I asked if he wanted to come home as I was taking Kula with me, we argued and I left without him," Vitani took a deep breath, "I wish I persuaded him to come..." Kiara put her paw on Vitani's head, Vitani shook it off and walked out. Kiara felt sorry for Vitani, "Maybe that rogue WAS Kopa..." Kiara suddenly recognised his face and his colour, the scars and the mane colour, she gasped and ran to Kovu, "KOVU, KOVU!" Kiara stopped infront of him out of breath, "I'm going out," Kovu looked shocked, "Kiara you can't! You're with child," Kiara looked at him, "I am and I will," Kiara ran out of the Pridelands and into the Outlands, not knowing what will come...
She creeped into the horrible area known as the Outlands, she ducked behind huge rocks struggling to not be seen, she was. Kiara gasped, she heard growling behind her back, alot of it, she turned to see a host of Outlanders, along with them, Kopa, "Get her! NOW!!!" The lionesses attacked Kiara, scaring her, minutes later the attacking stopped, "That should do my lionesses, you may go now," Kiara slowly looked up at Kopa, she was shaking and mumbling, "K-K-Kopa, it's m-me Kiara..." Kopa was shocked, he realised it was his sister, he knew what he'd done, "Kiara, but you thought it wasn't me last time I saw you..." Kiara managed a small smile, "Until Vitani told me it was you," Kopa picked Kiara up on his back, his new friend, Missy ran up ro him, "What are you doing with the intruder? Killing her?" Kopa shook his mighty mane, "No, she's my sister," Missy smiled at him, "Oh, well take care of her, for me?" Kopa smiled back, "I will Missy, I will..." He took Kiara back to the Pridelands trying to be unseen, then Kovu jumped out at him, "You again, why are you carrying Kiara?" Kopa stood tall, "Kovu, it's me... Kopa!" Kovu growled, "Oh really? Kiara are you sure," Kiara looked up slowly, she nodded, "Y-yes Kovu..." Kovu was shocked he smiled, "KOPA! I missed you so much, thanks for saving Kiara, I owe you one, right?" Kopa smiled at his old friend, "No you don't," he dropped Kiara and sighed, he felt pain in his gut, he planned to attack the Pridelands with the outlanders, he was following in Scars paw prints
Later that night Kopa ran towards his home town, he smiled deviously at the outlanders, "It's time to attack..." Kopa walked to the Pridelands, Zazu saw and went to warn Kovu and the rest of the Pridelands they were coming... With Kopa...
