Scar stood proudly over on the edge of Pride Rock. He smiled evilly as the wind blew through his black main. He looked down, and watched as the hyena's harassed the lionesses. He rolled his eyes, and walked into the cane, trying to get away from any complaints from the females.
He lied down and rested his head on his paws. He closed his eyes, but was interrupted by the bird he kept trapped in an animals ribcage.
"Sir, why are you trying to sleep when your lionesses are being harassed by you hyena...friends?" The bird, Zazu, asked.
"Because I can." Scar coldly replied.
"But as the king, you should..."
"Yes! Because I AM THE KING I can do WHAT EVER I WANT!!! And don't have to listen to any whining." Scar yelled. He'd been a the king for about two and a half years, but was never good at it. Scar was an awful king, he'd driven most of the herds away or selfishly killed them off to many at a time. To Scar, being king just meant bossing others around and getting to do anything.
Scar lifted his head as he heard footsteps enter the cave. He looked back and smiled as he saw Zira; a young lioness who he knew had a strong love interest in him, walked into the cave. "Do you mind if I, join you?" She asked. Scar smiled and nodded his head.
Zira lied down next to him, leaning her side against him. She nuzzled her head under his chin and he put his arm around her. But their cuddling was interrupted by another lioness, Sarabi.
Scar's attention left Zira and went to Sarabi. He'd fallen in love with Sarabi as a cub, but is older brother, Mufasa, stole her from him; well, thats what Scar believed. But nowthat Mufasa and Srabi's cub were dead, she was alone, and had no mate or cub to love.
Scar smiled to the young lioness. "Is their anything I can do for you, Sarabi?" He asked. His tone with Sarabi seemed to upset Zira, and she gave the other lioness a bad look.
"Scar, your hyena's a harassing me and the others. I'm asking you to stop them." Sarabi asked. That seemed to change his mood, he growled to himself "Fine." he growled and walked out of the cave. He stepped down Pride Rock and walked over to the group of lions.
He noticed one of the hyena's, Bonzai, laughing and poking at a lioness. He growled at him and the hyena coiled back in fear. Scar roared and ordered the others to stop and listen. "You foolish hyena's!" He roared. "You caused me to have to come all the way down here, when I was trying to sleep!"
The hyena's whimpered and walked away from the group of lions. Scar rolled his eye's and walked back into Pride Rocks cave. He passed Sarabi on the way in. "Thank you, Scar." She smiled. "Your welcome... dear." Scar grinned, but Sarabi wasn't as happy with that comment, but chose to ignore it.

A few months passed and Scar knew he wasn't getting any younger, and he new he needed a cub that would 'take his place' when the time came. He was also in need of a mate, he was stuck between Zira, who was in love with him, and Sarabi, who he'd fallen for as a cub.
He was aware that Sarabi would never accept him as her mate, but he was mostly after having a cub, and honestly didn't care who his mate would be. Zira had never had cubs, but he knew that Sarabi's last cub, Simba, was a strong cub. But, Simba was dead, so he couldn't have been that great. He honestly hated Simba, just because he would be the next king if the hyena's hadn't killed him off.
He finally chose Zira to be his mate. He knew that she loved him and would do anything for him. And deep down, he found her rather beautiful, and really liked her evil personality. And about a six months of being together, he and Zira were expecting cubs.
But their happiness couldn't last forever.
Early one morning, while out on a hunt, Zira was injured after being trampled by a wildebeest. Scar blamed Sarabi, for not warning Zira that it was charging at her. Both feared for their cubs, and Scar then wanted his revenge on the other lioness.
Then, a few days later, he found Sarabi alone. He attacked Sarabi, she tried to cry for help, but he shut her mouth with his paws. A few minuets later, he finished what he started, and let her go.
---
A few weeks past, and Scar and Zira had their cubs, one born dead, and the other was very skinny. Scar was very unpleased with the male cub. Zira was very upset when Scar didn't want to name him, so she had to name him alone. He was named Nuka.
As Nuka grew, he'd try and impress Scar, but he'd only get hurt. Scar would only ignore him, and when Nuka would go to far, he would hit him. Zira was an awful mother to the cub, she wouldn't feed him hardly at all and Nuka would have to find his own food.
Early one morning, Scar stood over the edge of Pride Rock. He was alone, but not for long. He heard footsteps being him, and turned to see Sarabi. He smiled as she walked over to him, but she stopped when she was about three feet away.
Scar stopped smiling when he saw how angry Sarabi looked. "Whats the matter, Sarabi?"
"Can you not tell?!" She growled and turned, making her side face Scar. Scar didn't understand, he looked at her with a puzzled look and Sarabi huffed at how stupid she thought he was.
"Scar, I'm having your cub."
Scar's eye's widened and he smiled at Sarabi. "Deliiiiiightful!!!!" Scar grinned and put his arm around Sarabi. "Our son will rule the Pride Lands one day! He will be the.... Second.. best king their ever was." Scar said, thinking that he himself was the best king.
Zira heard everything. How could Sarabi have HER mates' cub? It didn't make any sense! She became overwhelmed with anger, why did Scar already like Sarabi's cub more than hers? It wasn't even born yet! She stormed off back to the cave.
She lied down and starred at the ground, trying to think of a way to get rid of Sarabi's cub. But her thoughts were broken by her own child, Nuka.
"Mother, I'm hungry." he said. She turned and faced him. "Go find some field mice or something! Can't you see I'm trying to think?" She growled. Nuka coiled back, and backed out of the cave. "Why could Scar be proud of him?" Zira thought.
A few months past and Sarabi went into labor. She gave birth to a single cub. Scar was proud of the cub, it was much bigger than Nuka was when he was born. He knew that this cub would be a great king.
Scar leaned into Sarabi, and looked down at their cub. "Look at him, he's going to be a very strong king" Scar smiled. Sarabi pushed him away and growled at him. "Him? What are you talking about? It's a girl!" She hissed.
"A-A....A girl?!" Scar gasped. How could it be a girl? Scar growled and covered his face with his paw. "Fine, she'll have to do." He walked away from the cub and lied down.
"What? What do you mean 'she'll have to do'? She's a weak little fur ball!" Nuka yelled. "I'm way stronger than THAT!!" He said and nudged the cub with his paw.
"DO NOT TOUCH HER!!" Scar roared and hit Nuka, hard. Nuka screamed in pain and ran into the back of the cave. Sarabi gasped and looked up at Scar. "How could you just hit your own son like that?" She asked. "That worthless fur ball is NOT my son." He said coldly.
Zira was taken aback. She was close to tears after hearing what Scar had said. She forced herself to not attack Sarabi, if Scar hadn't been standing there, she'd have killed them then and there.
Time past, and Desta was now one month old. Zira was also pregnant, but the cubs were not Scar's. Scar was very mad at her, but forgot about it when the cubs were born, only because one was a boy.
"Him." He said. "He will be the next King. His name will be Kovu." He said. Zira couldn't be happier, she had a cub that Scar cared about! And she had a daughter, she'd always wanted a daughter. She named her Vitani, meaning 'war, demon of war'.
The next day, tragedy struck; for Scar, at least, when his nephew, Simba, returned home and attacked Scar. Scar was pushed over the edge of a cliff, but he lived.
"No!!" Zira cried as she saw her mate fall, she sighed of relief as he stood up. She hopped down and ran towards him. She stopped at the sound of him screaming, she ran up the hill and found him covered in hyenas.
"Get off him!!" She roared and attacked the hyenas. The scattered, and were never seen again. Zira turned to her mate, he was still alive! She lied down next to him, and cried.
"Zira...." He said. "Please....Raise K-Kovu, to kill Simba.....And become...King." Scar said.
"I will! I promise!!" She cried as Scar rested his head, and closed his eyes. She stayed there for hours into the night, before finally leaving.
The next night, Zira gathered all the other lioness' who looked up to Scar as there king, she had come up with a plan.
"We will evange Scar." Zira said to her fellow lioness' , rain trickling down their faces. "Kovu WILL kill Simba. And will rule the Pridelands as Scar once did." She roared and the others jioned her.
Zira heard a gasp and looked up. Zazu was flying over her. Once she looked at him, he took off towards Pride Rock. She and the others chased after him, but by the time they got to Pride Rock, it was to late. Simba stopped them from entering.
"Get out of here, Zira! And take them with you!" Simba ordered. Zira growled and lept at him, but missed and was takled to the ground. She kicked him off. she walked over her followers. She picked up Kovu, and another picked up Vitani.
"We WILL be back." She growled, glaired at Desta, who ran and hid behind Sarabi. "If I EVER catch you in the Pridelands, I'll kill you." Simba warned. Zira growled and walked away with the others. Simba watched them untill they were far out of sight.
