way," Kovu started. "Umm, this might not be a good time to ask, but...when ARE we gonna return to the Pride Lands?" Kiara looked at him sadly. "I dont know, Kovu. I think we'll still have to wait some time." "But we've waited for so long!" Kovu replied. "I miss everyone back there, Vitani Nala, Kim, Shani, Mafumbo, everyone. I want to go home." "So do I, but...what about Kim?" "What ABOUT Kim? What if he' not jealous at all? Whay if he just misses us and wants us back? He doesn't even know about Halali! I'm sure they'll get along. If they don't, they'll just have to learn it sooner or later."
at him and without noticing it backed up a little. "Maybe that it's not my name." Kim smiled and kept getting closer to her.
"W-What are you talking about? A-are you sick?" Nala was cornered in the end of the cave. "I am perfectly fine, Nala. I think you'll understand, if you'll tell me something." "What? Tell you something?" "If you'll say it, I'll let you go and I won't force you to hunt anymore." There was something evil in Kim's smile and Nala was shaking. This could all be over, she thought. Just do what he wants, one more time and everything can be okay."Well, w-what do I...h-have to say?" Kim was so close she could smell his breath. Heleaned forward and whispered:
"TELL ME I'M ADORED Nala looked at him and memories flashed in front of her eyes. She screamed and tried to escape, but Kim grabbed her quickly and pinned her to the ground. "Why won't you say it, Nala? Why won't you tell me?" he hissed. "No...it can't be...it can't be...!" Nala sobbed and tried to wiggle out of his grip. But he held her tight. He held his paws on her throat and Nala was sure he would strangle her any moment. She looked him in the eyes and finally saw how blind she ha been all this time.
"SCAR?!" she whispered. Kim...no, Scar chuckled. "Well, that took a long time." "W-what have...you d-done...with K-Kim?"t him?" Kovu said sarcastically.
Kiara narrowed her eyes and turned away. "Whoah, Kiara, I-I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry," Kovu jumped in her way. "Yes, you did. Can't you see what you're doing to your own child?!" "I told you, I'm teaching him to defend himself!" "You shouldn't teach him to fight, you should teach him to THINK!" Kovu looked down a little embarrased. "He-he's a smart kid, of course he can think. But in real life, you need to know how to fight, that's the hard truth," he explained. "Is fighting all you have to teach him? That'll help much when he's the prince!" "I am teaching him in the right way!" "You are teaching him like an Outlander!"
Kovu opened his mouth to say something, but then he got Kiara's point. Kiara didn't mean it in a bad way, when she said "Outlander", what he meant was the way Zira had taught every Outlander to fight and to follow her, not to think with their own brains. "When we're finally back at Pride Rock, have you thought that Kim maybe ISN'T going to be jealous at Halali? Maybe he'll welcome his new brother with open arms. And what will Halali do then? Pin him to the grond and start wrestling?!" Kiara looked angrily at Kovu and Kovu felt ashamed. "I...I guess you're right," he finally said. "I'll promise I'll talk to him." Kiara smiled. Good. I'm not mad at you, sorry if I yelled." She nuzzled him lovingly and all was forgotten.
"By the way," Kovu started. "Umm, this might not be a good time to ask, but...when ARE we gonna return to the Pride Lands?" Kiara looked at him sadly. "I dont know, Kovu. I think we'll still have to wait some time." "But we've waited for so long!" Kovu replied. "I miss everyone back there, Vitani Nala, Kim, Shani, Mafumbo, everyone. I want to go home."

If they don't, they'll just have to learn it sooner or later."
"Oh, still a saint, aren't you? Always thinking of everyone else. I think at the moment you should be VERY much thinking of more yourself!"Scar pressed her harder and she had a hard time trying to get air. "I...I'll ask...y-you a-gain...w-what have you...d-one with K-im?!" "He's fine, he's here somewhere," Scar chuckled. "We made a little switch." "S-switch?" "Yes, I...helped him to get rid of his brother and he helped me to become a king again." Nala's eyes widened. "R-rid of...Maliki?!" Scar didn't say anything, he just smiled. "Y-you-you...murderer!!!" Nala tried to get away, but Scar was strong. "It's useless, Nala. I have a strong, young body now. I'm ten times stronger than before. But you..." He choked her more and Nala felt she was about to die soon.
Scar got a sad look in his eyes for a moment. "I loved you, Nala. Remember? I wanted to have cubs with you, little Scars. They would have been so beautiful..." he smiled sadly, then hatred filled his eyes again. "But you rejected me. You both. You and Sassy. You turned your back on me when all I asked was your love. But that won't happen anymore!" "I...I c-couldn't l-lie to you, Scar...I just d-didn't love you...I didn't re-reject you..." "Silence! You're lying! You could have been my queen, you could have had all the power in the wort him?" Kovu said sarcastically.
Kiara narrowed her eyes and turned away. "Whoah, Kiara, I-I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry," Kovu jumped in her way. "Yes, you did. Can't you see what you're doing to your own child?!" "I told you, I'm teaching him to defend himself!" "You shouldn't teach him to fight, you should teach him to THINK!" Kovu looked down a little embarrased.

ld! But you didn't want me, and now it's too late. I don't have to worry, i still have Shani." He grinned madly and Nala gasped. "S-Scar...p-please, don't...d-do...this..." "Goodbye, Nala," Scar said coldly.One sickening crack was heard and nothing more. Nala was dead. Her neck was broken."And now," Scar said to himself, "it's time to take care of someone else." He stepped outside just in time to see Kovu, Kiara and Halali rushing towards Pride Rock."Brother," he growled when he saw little Halali looking in his direction.
