And what happens when I actually have to do stuff for the Pride Lands?  Will Kiara go ballistic?  And what in the world did I do to her?  She's exaggerating… that's it!  She'll come to her senses by tomorrow!

 

            But what if she doesn't?  What happens then?

 

            Wait, Kovu, you're king of the Pride Lands?  You can just exile her!

            Kovu tried to smack himself for even thinking such a thing.  Instead of thinking, he just tried to sleep, knowing he wasn't going back to Pride Rock any time soon that night…

           

           

        count: 1">            Kiara seemed to accept the response, because she didn't say anything after that.  Vitani proceeded ahead, ready to find her brother.

 

 

            As Kovu's mind raced, he ducked down into the cave that he had found when he and Kiara had been chased by a herd of rhinos.  It pained Kovu to hide there, considering that it reminded Kovu so much of Kiara.  He thought to himself, lying down, silently sobbing.

            This can't be happening… Why does life have to be so hard?  And what happens when I actually have to do stuff for the Pride Lands?  Will Kiara go ballistic?  And what in the world did I do to her?  She's exaggerating… that's it!  She'll come to her senses by tomorrow!

 

            But what if she doesn't?  What happens then?

            Kovu tried to smack himself for even thinking such a thing.  Instead of thinking, he just tried to sleep, knowing he wasn't going back to Pride Rock any time soon that night…

           

;    Vitani was relieved when he saw Kovu's form lying down in the cave.  He cautiously entered, whispering Kovu's name.

            "Kovu!  Kovu, you awake!? Kovu!"

            Kovu was apparently in a sleeping trance, but couldn't tune out Vitani.  He lifted his head, opening his eyes, but quickly set his head back down as soon as he saw that it was Vitani.

            "Kovu… I know that you heard all that.  Is even half of what Kiara said true?"

            Kovu still had his eyes closed, searching for an appropriate answer.  "No…"

            "Then you have nothing to worry about.  Just show her you love her tomorrow…"

            "No, Vitani.  I need to tell you something."

            Vitani walked over to Kovu as he opened his eyes.  Vitani lay down, nodding her head.

            "I… I got a vision last night.  Simba was talking to me somehow… He said that I was to be the greatest king ever.  And that there was to be a great drought coming up, and that there will be many more lions like Yamin, and that many would be opposed… If this is all true, do I have to exile Kiara to do what I need to do?"

            Vitani was surprised.  "Uh, Kovu, are you sure that this isn't just shock?"

            Kovu shook his head.            "Kovu!  Kovu, you awake!? Kovu!"

            Kovu was apparently in a sleeping trance, but couldn't tune out Vitani.  He lifted his head, opening his eyes, but quickly set his head back down as soon as he saw that it was Vitani.

            "Kovu… I know that you heard all that.  Is even half of what Kiara said true?"

            Vitani was surprised.  "Uh, Kovu, are you sure that this isn't just shock?"

so-spacerun: yes">  "Vitani… what if I become just another lion on Scar's side of the family tree?  We both come from a pretty screwed-up family.  I just need guidance…"

            Vitani couldn't imagine what Kovu could really be going through.  "You're way better than that…"

            "I hope so, Vitani.  I hope so for the sake of everyone…"

           

 

            Kovu had reluctantly followed Vitani back to Pride Rock, and was now sleeping, deep into yet another dream.

            Kovu was in the Pride Lands.  The sun seemed as hot as ever, and he noticed that animals were dying left and right.  There was no water, apparently, and even Kovu himself was parched. 

            In front of him was a lion with a black mane and green eyes.  He was one of the kings that Kovu had seen in the sky during last night's dream!

            The king was smiling widely at Kovu.  Kovu panted as the hot sun baked his back.

            "Kovu!"

            "Who… Are you?"

            The lion suddenly became serious.  "My name is Mohatu.  I was one of the first kings of the Pride Lands, the grandfather of Mufasa, theun: yes">  I just need guidance…"

            Vitani couldn't imagine what Kovu could really be going through.  "You're way better than that…"

            "I hope so, Vitani.  I hope so for the sake of everyone…"

            "Who… Are you?"

father of Ahadi, and the great-grandfather of Simba.  I have grown quite fond of you, Kovu…"

            "Will the drought really be this intense?"

            Mohatu gravely nodded.  "But you can prevent it."

            Kovu widened his eyes.  "I can't stop weather…"

            Mohatu shook his head.  "I know that, but you can prevent it from becoming this intense.  The drought will last a little while, about a month.  Your average waterhole in these conditions'll last only about two days…  Kovu, there are underground waterholes, and waterholes in the forest directly behind Pride
