"Kovu, you do what you have to do… At least I know that when it comes to fighting, you're a chip off the old block!"

            Kovu looked confused.  "Yamin was a good fighter?  How could you tell?  I thought he did something so bad that you exiled him from even the Outlands…"

            Scar looked defeated.  "I meant that I was a good… Oh, what does it matter?"

            Kovu smirked, looking down. "Yeah, what does it matter?"

            Scar looked down sadly, also.

            "I suppose you haven't dreamt in quite a while…"

            Kovu lit up with excitement.  He looked up, smiling.  "Yeah…"

            "There's not much to inform you about…"

            "Bye!"

            Scar frowned.

           

 

 

            It was thirteen days later.

            Kovu could feel the excitement pulse through him as he remembered that it was the thirtieth day of the great drought, the last day.  It was also the thirtieth day that Kanen was brought into the world.

            As Kovu got up from his deep, and happy at that, sleep, he accidentally awoke Kiara, who accidentally awoke Kanen.

            "Kovu… you woke the baby!"  Kiara whispered, her eyes still closed.

            "Sorry.  You want me to take him outside?"

            Kiara seemed to fall back asleep before answering the question, so Kovu leaded Kanen outside, toTEXT-ALIGN: justify">            Kovu lit up with excitement.  He looked up, smiling.  "Yeah…"

the edge of Pride Rock.

            It was a breezy morning, the barely sunlit clouds moving faster than usual.  The sun didn't bake Kovu's fur as it did the past twenty-eight mornings, and it felt great to spend the moment with his newly-born son, Kanen.

            Kovu slowly made his way to the end of Pride Rock, looking across it with disbelief. 

            "This'll all be yours someday, buddy."  Kovu looked down to see Kanen rubbing against his front paws, making his fur stand up on end. It still hurt, all the scars from the fight with the cheetahs.  Kanen, of course, didn't understand one bit of what his dad was saying, and would probably never know of his dad's little fight. 

            "You'll understand one day what your dad did for you, what great a king I'll be to make this place even better than it is now."

 

 

                                                            3 MONTHS LATER

 

 

            Kovu felt so old that he could cry.

            A single drop of blood, followed by several others, dripped out of his mouth as the pain in his chest started to become realization.  He was loosing blood, and fast.  He started cursing the heavens, wondering how he was going to get through this one.

"Oh yeah, since you have two.  Yamin and Scar.  But Yamin was pretty, if not equally bad, as Scar…"

            "Apology accepted.  Do you think there's a chance that I might be going crazy, Kiara?  I just didn't want to tell you about all this until the due time."

            Kiara loved how wise Kovu sounded.  "About a hundred percent chance.  You even got crazy scars!  In all seriousness, no, I don't believe so.  And does your chest even hurt at all?"

            Kovu nodded.  "Burning."

            Kiara nodded as the two met eyes.  "What are you gonna do about Nala?"

            Kovu shook his head.  "Simba can tell me.  C'mon, let's go take a cat nap or something together."

            Kiara thought about it, but not for too long.  "That sounds nice…"

 

 

            As Kovu and Kiara woke back up with each other only about a half an hour later, lionesses gasped as they saw that Kovu was perfectly functional.  As everyone expected, Nala wasn't there, and people scowled at the name.  They were eager for Kovu's input, wanting to know what fate Nala might get.  It was really too bad that it was going to be the most regrettable mistake of Kovu's entire life…

was high in the sky, Nala approached Pride Rock, seeing that Kovu and Kiara were atop it, staring at her.  There had to be about twenty lionesses behind the couple, and Nala just kept her head bent, trying to not scowl at the false king (At least in her opinion he was…).  Kiara spoke first of anyone.

            "Nala!"

            Nala didn't seem to respond to her name at all, simply staring at the ground below her.

            "Yesterday, you committed the highest level of treason I have ever had the displeasure to endure!  I have not a single idea on how Kovu can just bear this, but unfortunately, I can't be that forgiving.  I love you mother, but as you know…"

            "Kiara!  Listen to yourself!  Highest act of treason?!  Kovu is NO king!  He's going to
