occurring last night, but I am here to tell you regardless.

            "I see that Yamin is not in the crowd… As I expected.  Kovu, the mate of my daughter, Kiara…"  Simba paused for a moment as some of the animals started to draw conclusions.  "Was brutally murdered last night.  By a former outsider, Yamin.  I advise you all to not go after the fiend.  Who knows, you may end up dead, too, for all you know.

            "Not many of you truly knew who the lion was, but you would have had he become king before he died.  The only two lions that I think are capable of honestly saying that they knew him are Vitani, and of course Kiara.  While they are not joining us today, please feel welcome to approach them with all the sincerity left in your hearts.

ean please, don't confront Yamin.

            "Ahh…" Simba stalled, looking out to the crowd.  "Would you like to conclude, Nala?"

            Nala seemed surprised, but declined.

            "Thank You All!"

 

           

            Vitani looked at Kiara expectantly, hearing Simba's third summoning roar so far, obviously trying to call everyone for something he had to say. 

            "What, Vitani?"

            Vitani widened her eyes, saying, "Aren't we going, or are you too deaf to hear that?"

            "Vitani, he's just gonna be announcing Kovu's death.  Why hear something twice?  Besides, we haven't even caught anything yet…"

            "Of course we haven't!  This has all just been to get your mind off Kovu!  We haven't even pounced once yet!"

            Kiara wasn't extremely offended, but acted like she was, a look between disgust and hurt on her face.  She heard her father's fourth roar and started to consider heading towards Pride Rock, but then decided against it.

            Vitani sighed, still walking with Kiara in t 1">            "Ahh…" Simba stalled, looking out to the crowd.  "Would you like to conclude, Nala?"

            Nala seemed surprised, but declined.

            "Thank You All!"

he direction of the Outlands.

            About a half a minute later, Vitani and Kiara heard Simba's fifth roar, soon lead by a sixth, which seemed almost unrecognizable considering they were only yards away from the Outlands.

            "This is where you and Kovu grew up, right?"  Kiara asked, stopping about ten yards away from the log that conjoined the Pride Lands to the Outlands, where she first met Kovu on the other side. 

            Vitani didn't show her confusion.  "Uh… Yeah.  What's the point?"  She, too, was gazing out towards the barren lands.  When Vitani glanced over at Kiara after a minute of silence, she noticed that she was softly crying.

            "I wanna KILL Yamin, Vitani!  That lion ruined my life!"

            Vitani tried to comfort her, but it seemed as if this were impossible.  She, too, hated Yamin more than words could express, but could never understand just how much Kovu meant to her, or how unbearable his loss was to Kiara.

 

 

            "But maybe you're right… Maybe I'm not your father.  What do I know?"

            Now Kovu was pretty convinced that Yamin was just playing games with him.  He hated the fact that he couldn't speak though.

 

            "Kovu, let me let you in on a little secret that you may or may not like to hear.  I'm probably gonna have to kill you.  And do you know why, Kovu?"  Just a couple days ago, I was trying to figure out a way to except him, but now I just want him back.  I guess a lot of things change in such a little period of time.  I mean, now he's almost like a son to me… just… Answer me."

            As Simba walked back from his spot on a mossy hill towards Pride Rock, he heard Rafiki, who soon popped out from seemingly nowhere.

            "And where do you think you are going?"

            Simba thought for a second.  "No where my heart says is right."

            Rafiki now had a smile wide across his face. He hit Simba upside the head with his stick. 

            "So what you're saying, Rafiki, is that I should've learned by my mistakes a long time ago, and now I'm simply searching for the answer that I've had all along, which is follow your heart's desire.  That's the only way the great kings of the past were great. Or is there just the fun of whacking me upside the head with objects?"

            Rafiki widened his smile.  "A little of both."

            And with that, Simba was off, towards the Outlands.

 

           

            Kovu pretended to be asleep as Yamin schemed, his back turned to Kovu, Kovu's to Yamin's.

            Kovu couldn't figure out why Yamin had talked about a dark secret Kovu had.  Kovu le period of time.  I mean, now he's almost like a son to me… just… Answer me."

            As Simba walked back from his spot on a mossy hill towards Pride Rock, he heard Rafiki, who soon popped out from seemingly nowhere.

            Simba thought for a second.  "No where my heart says is right."

            Kovu pretended to be asleep as Yamin schemed, his back turned to Kovu, Kovu's to Yamin's.

didn't really know what Yamin thought it might have been, but he was obviously wrong, other than his original thoughts about killing Simba before falling madly in love with Kiara. 

            It was a pretty cold night in the Outlands, with the occasional burst of wind.  He missed Kiara more than words expressed, but in a way, he knew that he would only have one more day
