Simba was saddened. "Father, please, is there anything you can do to help? If you would just adopt him as my brother, I will help him," he said. He looked at Kovu. "I'm trying my best," he said to the cub.

"I'm sorry. I'll do better next time." said Vitani.

"Tell us everything that happened in there." said Zira.

Vitani repeated everything excatly as it happened as Zira growled.

"Maybe there's some potential in Kovu after all. But Scar is right. We must make new plans. We must make Simba forget about his other wishes. If he wishes the Genie free before we get our hands on the lamp it will be a piece of junk. That will be up to you Vitani." said Zira.

"Me?" asked Vitani.

"Yes. You're to distract him with courting Nala. Have him so focused he won't notice when we steal the lamp from him." said Zira.

"Very well mother." said Vitani.

Mufasa was stunned. "I... I..." He shook his head. "The trip will be postponed. You will leave in 3 days. For now, Kovu will remain with you, Simba, and he will not leave your sight."

Kovu nodded as he dried his eyes. " Yes..Sir." He said as he rushed to his feet and to simba's side. the cub didn't make any further eye contact with Mufasa. Kovu knew this was probraly his last chance of being adopted by Mufasa and Sarabi. Kovu would sooner go back to theivery full time and never have a family than have to be scar's son.

Simba looked at Kovu. "Tonight, you'll be staying with me in my chambers. You'll be safe there," he said.

[Nitro]

"I'm so sorry, Kovu," Mufasa said sincerely.

[Sixshot1988]

"For what Sir?" Kovu asked Sultan.

[Nitro]

"You do not deserve this happening to you," he said.

[Sixshot1988]

"It could be worse, I could be dead." Kovu said, smiling sheepishly at the Sultan. "All I really wanted was a family. I never had a mom or a dad, and maybe I don't deserve a family." Kovu said, hanging his head in shame.

[KingKovu44]

Simba looked at Kovu. "Of course you deserve a family, Kovu. I will make sure you become part of mine," he said. He then yawned. "Come on, let's go to bed. I'll have the servants give you a bed in my chambers," he said.
