Months later they cubs were adults.Lantana whispered a voice.Lantana blinked open her eyes.Kaymoo was sitting down in front of her.Time for our first hunt! she said excitedly.Lantana yawned & sat up.Great she murmured sleeply.Kaymoo leaped up & trotted to the cave entrnence.Kovu sat proudly at the edge of the clearing of the rock.Lionesses & Lions sat in a row.On the left of Kovu sat the Lions & on the right of Kovu sat the lionesses.Kiara was walking threw the row to sit beside Kovu.They nuzzled.Lantana & Kaymoo walked threw the Lions & Lionesses.My how you've grown said Nala looking up from bowing.Lantana purred & Kaymoo smiled.When they reached their father they nuzzled.You'll do fine he murmured.I know we will said Kaymoo giving her dad a confurting lick.Lantana looked behind her.She saw Koda sitting with Karim,Otien &  Mopay who would go tackle a buffalo later on.Where's Tani? whispered Kaymoo to Kiara.Vitani's geting her ready said Kiara.Now go on said Kovu.The two sissters ran off into the land.

So what will we hunt? asked Kaymoo stopping in front of her.How about we try....Antelope? said Lantana.Sure said Kaymoo licking a paw.So have you found a mate? asked Kaymoo narrowing her eyes.I am thinking about Karim admitted Lantana looking out her paws.It's ok I am not going to lugh said Kaymoo giving Lantana a lick on the ear.Thanks! purred Lantana & they headed off to hunt.
