[Open] Zira Succeeds

[TheGunner18]

Vah's eyes widened and his expression froze in shock and horror as Kiara began telling him the second part of her story. Her life had started out so well, everyone was doing absolutely fine, and then it all fell apart, just like that. The love of her life, dead. Her mother, dead. Her father, dying, and although he didn't want to think like that, Vah just couldn't shake off the thought that he was also dead. "Kiara, you didn't have to tell me. I...I never knew it was this bad for you. Words can't describe what you've been through..." He sighed, getting up and walking over to her. "I'm so sorry Kiara." he said to her softly, putting real sympathy in every single word. "You couldn't have done anything but run."

Vah lay down next to her, looking into her tear filled eyes. "Your parents, Kovu...everybody who has died fighting the outlanders, they all love you, respect you, they want you to survive. Running away was what they would've wanted you to do. They're all up there with the great kings of the past. Kovu is with them, watching over you. You'll never be without them." Vah leaned towards Kiara and whispered something into her ear. "They live in you..."

As much as Kiara tried to stop her tears, she just couldn't. It was all just too much for her, but despite how sad she felt, she also felt good about telling it to someone. She looked Vah back in the eyes as he spoke, and like before managed to draw alot of comfort from his presence. When he leaned towards her she was taken aback slightly, though part of her forced her to stay still. Once he whispered into her ear she urged herself to say something. "I guess Kovu isn't really gone, is he?" she asked, wondering how the cubs she had with Kovu just before he died would be like. "Thanks for listening... what you said... It means alot to me."

Vah was still looking at Kiara while she was speaking, trying to comfort her as much as possible. "That's right. Nobody is gone if you truly love them. They'll stay here-" he put a paw onto the part of his chest where his heart was. "-In your heart. For all eternity. That fact will never change, no matter what happens." Vah himself was shocked and also surprised at what he had told Kiara. He just said the first thing that came into his head that seemed right to tell her. And it worked well. It worked very well. Although he was surprised, he hid it from Kiara, as he didn't want to ruin trying to comfort Kiara. "Never forget that." He finished, and there was silence for a couple of seconds. "I'll let you have some time on your own. You deserve it." He got up and then began to quote something.

"If i die tomorrow,
I'd be alright,
Because I believe,
That after we're gone,
The spirit carries on."

Vah smiled and looked down at Kiara. "Something I learnt when I was younger." he said, as he began walking off to give Kiara some alone time.

(hehe, sorry, me and TW are kinda stealing the show ^^

[TheWhistlerify]

As Vah kept up his attempts of comforting her, Kiara began to feel alot better. As Vah began to walk outside again, Kiara didn't want him to leave. She felt like saying something, or at-least asking him to stay, but felt rather akward at the fact that they barely know each other. "Wait!" she said all of a sudden. Why did she do that? The word just came out from her mouth. "I mean... ah... Please stay with me for a while..."

[TheGunner18]

Vah was just about to leave, to give Kiara some time to think about things alone, when he stopped, a look of confusion making it's way onto his face. 'Wait...she-she just asked me to stay with her?' he slowly turned around and started walking back over to Kiara. Vah was wondering why she didn't want any time by herself, and even weirder, why she wanted to spend time with him. He shrugged and lay back down, next to Kiara. "Why do you want to spend more time with me? He was more than a bit confused as to why this was happening, but he decided to just 'go with the flow'. "Are you sure you don't want to be on your own? I mean, you probobably need time to think everything over and stuff..."

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara grew even more nervous. Why did she say that in the first place? When he asked her that question, she grew even more nervous, and even a little embarassed. Despite having known Vah for only a few minutes, she felt alot more calm and safe when he was around. "I... I'm sure..." she said, not wanting to be left alone, especially after watching her familly die, "Please... stay." The more she looked at him, the more she wanted him to stay with her

[TheGunner18]

As Vah listened to Kiara almost pleaing for him to stay with her, he started to feel for her even more than before. Nothing that had happened in his life could even begin to compare with what she had been through. Absolutely nothing. "Hey, Don't worry, i'm here now." He told her softly, wanting her to stop worrying this much. As he said this to Kiara, Vah began to get a warm, fuzzy feeling inside him that was increasing as he stayed with her for longer. 'What is this feeling? Why am I getting this?' he thought to himself, having never felt this way about anybody before. He simply shrugged off this thought and let his emotions and feelings take over him. However there was one thing he knew for sure. This definitely wasn't a bad feeling. "I'm going to stay with you." he whispered, again, tying his utmost to comfort her. "I'm going to stay with you for as long as you want."

[TheWhistlerify]

Again looked at Vah, Kiara also began getting this fuzzy feeling inside. She experienced it once before, with Kovu. She tried to force the feeling aside, but she couldn't. Could it be? Was she beginning to develop feelings for him? She forced herself to say something before she did something sudden and stupid. "Thank you... for all of this... Really, it means alot." Kiara said, hoping this would start a long conversation

[TheGunner18]

Vah kept his sight locked onto Kiara's beautiful brown eyes, staring into them for what seemed like an eternity, never wanting that eternity to end. 'What on earth am I doing? Kiara already loved Kovu, and still does. She probably won't want anything else to do with anybody about this sort of thing...' he thought to himself, still staring into those eyes, putting a paw onto her shoulder. "It's fine Kiara, I would never had let you carry on travelling by yourself. I don't want to even begin to think what would've happened to you." He told her, every word full of the truth. Vah attempted to tear his look away from Kiara, only managing to get down to her mouth before reverting back up to her eyes. Why can't I just look away for a second? It can't be that hard...but it is...' he told himself, admitting to a truth which must have been staring him in the face since they started having this conversation about their pasts.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara kept staring into Vah's deep eyes, [forgot the colour =o] A part of her feeling really wierd about this and trying to pull away, and the other part keeping her still. He placed a paw on her shoulder all of a sudden, and Kiara's worries just dissapeared, she felt safer, and like going anywhere else would be a stupid mistake. "Yeah, but still..." She said, now having a harder time speaking to him
