Once again I would like to thank Lyrics Amidala, for helping me with this chapter.

Additional Information.

CHAPTER SIX - New Beginnings.

Katili was stretching leisurely, having just woken up from a nap. As he stood, his eyes fixed on a large shape coming through the dust. He crouched down, making sure his claws were sharp. But he relaxed when he saw Rento at the head.

"Rento!" Katili called. "Little brother!" He turned, and saw a small group of lions following Rento. "Who is this?"

A slender lion with a red mane stepped up. He had the air of a king, but his eyes glinted cruelly. "I am Simba," he said. "I was king of the Pride Lands."

Katili raised his eyebrows, Clearly he wasn't King now. "What happened?"

Vigra stepped forward, growling with anger, "He was betrayed."

Katili frowned in confusion. "Betrayed? What on Earth...?"

"That's not important!" Simba snapped. "I need a Pride. So that one day, when I have heirs once again, I'll be able to reclaim my place as King." Suddenly, two young lions dashed forward, panting.

"Kovu?" Rento asked in confusion.

"Kiara?" Simba gasped. "What are you doing here?"

"We don't agree with the Pride," the male, Kovu, said. "They shouldn't have banished you."

"So we're joining you," Kiara finished breathlessly. Simba nuzzled his daughter gently.

"Thank you," he breathed.

"Guess you won't need another heir," Vigra said with biting sarcasm. Simba looked at her.

"Kiara is a girl, and my heir by Nala," Simba pointed out.

"Gee, never would have guessed," Vigra retorted. Simba ignored that, and moved closer to her.

"I need a son," he whispered. "And Vigra, I couldn't think of anyone better to be the mother to my sons than you." He moved his tail so that it was close to her face. "Will you be my queen?" Vigra twined her tail in his.

"Of course," she purred. Simba looked over her shoulder at the horizon.

"This isn't over," he growled to himself. "I will take back my throne, and you will all pay."

"What will you name him?" Finedra asked as Nala licked the top of her newborn son's head. Nala thought about it.

"Neko," she decided. Finedra nodded in approval.

"It's a beautiful name," she commented. Nala smiled at the younger lioness. Finedra was days away from labor herself, with Kefir's child, and the Pride had just found out today that Maisha was pregnant again. There were going to be many little cubs running around the place soon.

"How will we manage?" She muttered to herself.

"You'll survive," Maisha said, sitting down on Nala's other side.

"How's Scar?" Nala asked. Maisha sighed dramatically.

"Over protective," she said. "But what else is new?" Nala laughed as Neko opened his eyes and yawned, batting the air with his paws. Nala smiled down at her son, then looked out at the golden sun. Pride Rock was at peace, at last.
