something?"

            Kovu tried to make an angry face.  "So you don't care about my feelings anymore, is that it?"  Kovu dug his head into his paws, trying to cry as hard as he could.  

            "Ah, I care…"

            As Kiara tried to lay down next to Kovu, he pinned her to the ground so fast that she didn't even know what had happened until it became too late.

            As Kovu laughed wildly, Kiara protested.  "Get off me, BIG boy!"

            Kovu suddenly got serious, getting off of her.  "I think I have to go back to digging now…"

            "Kovu, you dug more than anyone here!  You can't be serious!"

            Kovu pursed his lips together.  "What does it matter?"

            Kiara tried to protest, but as soon as she spoke, she decided against it.  "I'll be in the den if you need me.  You sure you don't need anything to eat or anything like that?"

            Kovu thought for a second.  "Just make sure Kanen's fed.  If I suddenly get hungry, I'll get something myself."

 

 

            It was now the tenth day of the great drought, a drought that everyone except Kovu thought would never end.  And then the eleventh.  And then the twelfth…

            The days went by faster than lightning for Kovu as he saw Kanen slowly grow up.  It was now day seventeen of the great drought.

            It was midday when Kovu saw a bunch of cheetahs advancing on Pride Rock, the same group that was obviously the rebellion group.  Kovu smirked as the five of them slowly advanced, matching the smirks on all their faces, too.  Kovu had a gut feeling that today was the day.

            No one was at Pride Rock except Kiara, Kanen, and himself.  Kiara and Kanen were in the den, and Kovu was at the long, pointed plateau-like platformed rock, watching the five figures approach.  Kovu greeted them.

            "And what do you five need?"

            The five were now at the base of Pride Rock, all of them except one looking at Kovu.  The one in the middle, with his, or her, head down, spoke, raising its head as it spoke. 

            "Kovu, what in Mufasa's name do you think you are doing to the Pride Lands?"

            Kovu tried to look confused.  There was a silence, but only for a small amount of time, interrupted by the cheetah once more.

            "I'm just trying to be king…"

            "Well, Kovu, allow me to introduce myself.  I am Hatari.  And no, Kovu, you're not trying to be king, you're trying to be a savior, or something like that!  Kovu, you're no prophet, and we've come to kill a false prophet today."

            Kovu was stunned at how straight forward the whole ordeal was.  All five of the cheetahs came rushing towards him, and Kovu got frightened for a second.  He knew he was to win, but just didn't know how…

            Two of them jumped at Kovu, and right before they succeeded, Kovu smacked them across the face, roaring as he did it.

            One of them fell, only to get up.  Kovu was caught off guard with an attack from behind from the leading cheetah, Hatari, making Kovu cry out in pain.  Kovu swatted at his back as three more started at the front of him.  Kovu waited until all three were nearly attacking him before digging his claws through one's neck, who fell immediately to the ground, limp.

            Two of the hyenas that attacked him from the front were now on him, scratching and biting as hard as they could.  Hatari came around and slashed Kovu across the face, leaving three nasty gashes across it. 

            Kovu swatted at his back, scratching one of the two cheetahs.  He tried to shake them off, but only shook off the one that he had just scratched.

            Hatari smacked Kovu once more to the side of his face, making Kovu react sharply, throwing the other cheetah off his back.  He slashed Hatari, making him cry out, but was then attacked by the other three still alive (Considering that one of them got a nasty gash right into his neck…).

            Kovu collapsed, and as soon as he was down, one of the cheetahs pinned Kovu down, trying to choke him.  Kovu extended his claws out, stabbing the cheetah' neck, then sending him off of his belly.

nbsp;   Hatari attacked Kovu as he attempted to get up again, to fight.  Kovu got a gash in his neck, but it wasn't severe enough to kill him. 

            Kovu was attacked by yet another cheetah, then noticed that one of the cheetahs he had stabbed in the neck was trying to get up, but fell in utter defeat.

            As Kovu was scratched across his stomach, he threw one of the cheetahs off of him so hard it almost flew off the cliff.  Hatari seemed to be only watching slightly now, watching the other two that were left kill Kovu.

            The one that almost fell off of Pride Rock was racing towards Kovu.  Before it even reached Kovu, the other remaining cheetah scratched Kovu again across his side as he tried to get up.

            Now the other cheetah was suffocating Kovu from behind, but not efficiently enough (considering how hard it was with Kovu's mane) to do any damage.  Kovu tried to grab at the cheetah, but couldn't reach.

            As Kovu gave up on trying to get the other cheetah, the one that wasn't choking him lunged at Kovu.  Kovu extended his claws out in front of him, and the cheetah jumped right onto his paw.  Kovu heard a slight crunching sound, suggesting that his own paw was now broken, and Kovu yelled out in pain from the intense ache.  He could also feel claws in the area just above his neck.

            Kovu, as best as he could with one broken paw, threw the cheetah off of him, sending him down, obviously dead.

            Kovu tried to shake his entire body away from the remaining cheetah as he saw Hatari starting to approach
