Chapter Four
Simba nodded, walking with his two cubs, Kiara, and Kopa. He smiled to each of them, laughing. "Well, my children," he said, "Thats the extent of the pridelands." Kopa stepped forward after they stopped. "Whats that place over there, Dad?" He said, swishing his tail. "That, son, is the outlands. You are forbidden to ever go there. That means you as well Kiara." Kiara grinned sheepishly, then smiled innocently. Like she would ever go over there.
Kopa turned and started to walk back home, his tuft swishing in the wind. "Were are you going, son?" Simba asked. "Back home, Dad!" he called back. He froze as he noticed what appeared to be two other Lions walking on the horizon. Had they heard them? He shook his head. He would go out and find them tomorrow, try to talk to them. Meanwhile, Simba and Kiara turned towards the Jungle. "Time to show you where your father lived for two years." Kiara nodded purring lightly as she followed him, tail swishing.
===================================
"Ya think they say us, Nuka?" Vitani asked, jumping in front of him. Nuka pushed past her, sighing. "Such a pain in the tail," he said, ignoring her question completely. He brightened at the fact that, for once, he had something to report to Mother. She would be so proud of him, taking away Kovu's position and giving it to him. Perhaps even more! His whiskers stood straight on end at that thought. What could she give him? Recognition? More love? Attention? There were endless possibilities!
"Hello...." Vitani said, jumping onto Nuka's head. "Earth to Nuka... You there?" Nuka smiled lightly, sweetly, and devlishly. "Oh, Vitani," he said. "If only you knew..." If only she knew. The den was now in sight, and they padded up silently. Zira was waiting for them, leaning against a rock pillar. "Mother!" Nuka called out, half purring. "I have wonderful news! We saw Simba, and, he has two cubs!"
Zira's eyes lit up. She grabbed Nuka's whiskers and pulled him close, bending them crookedly. "And," she said, expectantly. "Did you catch them?"
Nuka looked down. "Well... No," he said. "I figured we could rally a pla...oww, Oww, OWW!" he exclaimed as Zira started to pull on his whiskers.
"You were HIDDEN!" She roared. "You could have AMBUSHED and CAUGHT them! Nuka, You disgrace me!" She released his whiskers and watched him fall back with disguist. She turned and walked away, heading for the small cave near the den. Nuka rubbed his face and felt his whiskers. They were crooked. He tried to straighten them, but they wouldent go back. He sighed and roared in agony once. Nothing had gone to plan. He stormed past Vitani and went for his usual corner. Turning three times, he rested his head in the same spot he had that night half a moon ago.
