news!"

            Kovu was partly taken aback, but knew that the constant outbursts about America were now enough.  He raised his eyebrows and slightly bowed his head to say to go on with his train of thought.

            "Well, sorry again.  Um, you're kind of getting people pissed…"

            "I knew it!  Those haterz!"

            Simba looked defeated.  "Who is your, if I may say this, haterz, if you know so much?"

            "A lot of people who think they deserve to be king."

            Simba sighed.  "No, Kovu.  Some people just think that you aren't ready for this.  Since I know a lot about the future, I'm going to let you in on a little secret; You know the great drought that is to last about 30 days that started today?"

            Kovu hesitated.  "Yeah, it was noticeably hot today.  Go on…"

            Simba nodded as he spoke is first word.  "These, haterz, are going to try and rebel against you during this period.  They will try and kill you.  You get pleasure out of killing people, don't you?"

            Kovu squinted.  "Why would a king like me get pleasure out of killing things, lions, etcetera?"

            Simba shook his head.  "It's okay.  Because I am already dead, I can know anything I want to know.  I know your every thought from every day from every waking moment of your entire life to every dream you ever dreamed."

            Kovu found this weird.  "So you know some of my darkest secrets?"

            Simba nodded.  "Some I would rather go without knowing, but know anyway.  I just won't go into any detail… But Kovu, you're king.  Any treason against you should either add up to exiling lions, or, in the most severe cases, killing them.  If they don't want a perfect Utopia, then they can just get out."

            Kovu sized up the thought for a moment.  He loved the thing Simba had just said for some reason.  If they don't want a perfect Utopia, then they can just get out…

 

            Simba broke the silence.  "You understand the circumstances, then?"

            Kovu looked up.  "You mean, if I have to kill, then I have to kill, and I should just accept the thought the way it is?"

            Simba nodded.

            "Just… Simba?"

            "Yeah?"

            "How many lions are going to be against me?"

            Simba hesitated.  "I think, that in the due time, when you figure it out for yourself, then there you go."

            Kovu didn't like the answer, but didn't express the dislike.  "Ok… When do I get up?"

            "Right about…"

            "Now, right?"

 

 

            It was sunrise when Kovu stood up, stretching, finally awakened from his little dream fest.

            The first thing that Kovu immediately noticed was how hot it was that day.  He shuddered to think of the great adventures that he would have to go through to get to where he wanted to be.

 

 

            It had been eight days since baby Kanen's birth, and eight days into the great drought.  The waterhole that so many animals had depended upon was now evaporated by the fifth day.  Kovu had gotten visions of where animals were to dig to find a bunch of underground waterholes.  They were on that kind of supply now, and were advised to drink as much as they pleased, seeing as it was just going to shrivel up in a couple days time.  Now animals were digging up a third waterhole, as the first one they dug up was now empty from the drought.   According to Mohatu communicating to Kovu through his dreams, there were seven more waterholes after this, so there would be plenty of water for the remaining twenty-two days.

            It was clear to Kovu which animals were going to rebel against him, but none of the lions he was communicating with were going to tell him when the group was going to attack. He was made sure that Kiara and Kanen were going to survive until Kovu's death, and that he was not supposed to worry about them. 

            Kovu had played a lot with baby Kanen, too, and except for the obvious group of soon to be rebellions, people seemed to really regard him as a great king for all the things he was alreabsp; "Right about…"

dy doing.

            Nala's health was nearly deteriorating over the days, and both Kovu and Kiara thought that she might not even make it another 5 days.  It was tragic, and Kiara cried over it once in a while.

            Vitani, along with the rest of the lionesses, found it a little harder to hunt these days, considering both the drought and the fact that some animals didn't want to stick around after the first supply of water vanished.  That wasn't mainly a lot of animals, but it was enough to notice.

            Today was no different from any other except for a few lionesses, cheetahs, and Kanen trying to dig up the new waterhole (Kanen was only playing around, and eventually, after both Kiara and Kovu were looking for the kid, one of the lionesses dragged him back to his mother, as Kovu was supervising and helping dig).  Kiara approached Kovu as he took a break, trying to cool off a little in the shade, panting. 

            "So, Kovu… I hear Kanen's already being a pest, and he's only eight days old…"

            "Not even old enough to speak."  Kovu laughed.  "Maybe he'll find the love of his life one day when he ventures out into the Outlands."

            Kiara finally got the joke about ten seconds later, laughing.  Kovu looked at her with a funny face, seeing as she was so late in getting it.

            "Um… You need something to eat, big boy?"

            Kovu looked up at her.  "No.  You need something?  Oh, and thanks for the comment on my weight…"
