Hi everyone I'm new to FanFic I signed up pretty much last week. This is my first story for the site so please try to be kind with you comments and reviews. I'm not saying don't comment or review if you have criticisms. Just try to be kind. This isn't my first go at writing but it is my first go at writing this kind of story for this kind of audience. Normally I write war storys so as a possible result probaly all of my storys on this site will be rated Teen or Higher as my writing style can be quite violent with quite a bit of swearing in some places and possibly some sexual content. Some of my storys have very strong emotional content and I've planned some for this one. Don't worry I'll do my best to warn you though. If you need to skip the occasional chapter thats fine. If the story dosn't get you straight away keep checking back I'm sure I'll improve with time. I hope to update reguarly but can't promice anything.

I'll only say this once as it will take up constant use of my time I do not own The Lion King or for that matter any of it's charcters, any characters that do appear in the story that don't belong to Disney are mine. They don't like to be used without permission so please ask before borrowing any of them.


The Lion King III Journey To The Throne

Chapter 1

He tried to role the bigger, stronger lion off of him. Dust continued to fly up into the savannah air, coating his fur in a grainy itching layer. But at the moment his appearance was the last thing bothering him. He pulled his legs close to his chest flipping the other lion over his head. After the sandy gold form had disappeared from his line of site Kovu stood up panting heavily.

It had been almost a week since the outlanders had merged with the pridelanders after the defeat of Zira. Simba still had some doubts about letting the outlanders into the pride until Nala had decided on a little bonding exercise between the two prides. Bonding was the word she had used but when Kiara had explained that her mother had organised a sparing contest Kovu was having second thoughts.

Kiara notices this teasing "Ahh the big strong Kovu doesn't wanna fight" in a very sarcastic manner.

Kovu was taken aback slightly "I..I never said I wouldn't do it" was all he could stammer in response.

Kiara got up from laying next to him walking to the entrance of the cave, as she did she brushed her tail across his face in a very seductive manner "Toughen up chief" she replied sauntering from the cave with her tail held high.

Kovu couldn't do anything apart from stare his jaw dropping. He heard a muffled laughter coming from the back of the cave. He turned to see Simba and Nala rolling around on the ground

"What" he asked them

"..Nothing, nothing…" was all Nala managed before exploding into another fit of giggles. He rolled his eyes at least Tani wasn't here he thought to himself otherwise things would be even worse.

"Oi!" Kovu was snapped back to the present "We haven't got all day you know Kovu I've already spent at least five minuets kicking your butt" Simba shouted at him. Kovu smiled before pouncing at the king.

"So Kiara how are things between you and Kovu going" Nala asked her daughter. Kiara turned from the contest to her mother a bit shocked

"Yeah…fine…why?"

"No particular reason" she nuzzled her daughter. Kiara was still confused as to what had bought this on. Nala though was the one to change the subject "Who do you thinks going to win"

"Probably dad" she continued talking to her mother while watching the battle. Both Kovu and Simba were now on their hind legs shoving against each other

"Ahh you say that but who do you WANT to win" Nala spoke into her ear Kiara couldn't help but giggle "Well of course I want Kovu to win" she giggled again "And you?"

"Well after me and Simba took the mick out of him when you were done talking to him earlier I think I'd like Kovu to win as well"

Kiara started laughing Nala continued "Kovu is a very hansom lion Kiara" Kiara immediately stopped not knowing what to say and stared at her mother and it was Nala's turn to laugh "I'm joking Kiara" she giggled "Still…"

"MUM!" Kiara yelled. They were shaken back to the fight by two ear splitting roars "Men" Nala tutted.

Simba and Kovu had momentarily stopped fighting to have a bit of a dominence contest Simba looked at the dark brown lion staring at him he had to agree that he did look hansom and that he was kind a caring towards Kiara.

"I'm gonna give you one chance to give up Kovu"

Kovu just stood there brushing his dark sweat drenched mane out of his face "I can take you old man" he taunted back who am I kidding he'll beat the crap out of me.

Simba and Kovu both started pacing backwards Simba let out a roar and all the pridelanders cheered Kovu did the same and the outlanders cheered along with Kiara and Nala. Simba shot Nala a quick curious glance she just shrugged and continued chanting with the outlanders.

Vitani and her friends were the loudest "If you let the side down Kovu I'll never let you live it down!" Vitani shouted at him.

Kovu bit his lip knowing that she wouldn't

At the same time both Simba and Kovu charged at each other however as the approached rather than jumping at his opponent Kovu leaped to the side before pivoting and lunging at Simba. The king was caught completely off guard and fell to the ground hard with Kovu on top of him.

Simba fought for a moment but couldn't shift Kovu's bulk knowing he was beaten he laid back on the ground keeping still. A sign of submission. Kovu stepped off helping the king to his feet

"Wow Simba looks like you've still got it" Kovu panted as Simba started to shake dirt off his body. When only half even started to come loose he turned to Kovu who was now joined by Kiara "Daddy that was amazing even if Kovu totally kicked your butt"

Simba smiled "Kovu I'm going to the watering hole to get some of this off me would you mind coming with me I need a serious word with you" seeing Kiara's dissapointment he chuckled "Don't worry we wont be long then you can have him all to yourself" Simba winked at his daughter

"Daaadddd!" Kiara half moaned half complained as the two lions started to walk off in the direction of the watering hole.


Pretty good for a first attempt. At least hopefuly.

I want to thank Kiara32 for all her help and support. I read a lot of stories when I joined up and hers are amazing. She's an inspiration an amazing writer and artist check out her two stories The Lion King 3: Royal journey and The Lion King 4: A single step they're both the same story just continued so read them in order. She's also got a link on her page to her artwork.

I am also dividing this story. When I get to a certain point NOT SAYING WHEN I'll start a new story due to different character focuses. I'll tell you when so bear in mind to read the footnotes.

I want to end with something special. Below is a poem of sorts that I wrote hope you enjoy.

Please R&R
Many thanks
K1ng Kovu


Be my friend and I will defend you
Be my true friend and I will die for you
Be my love and I will live and breath only for you
I am the guardian of all I hold dear

True love doesn't just fill your heart, it overflows your whole body and soul

It's not who you are in the world, it's who you are to me. It's no how many times I say that I love you... it's how much I really do

I'm that hyperactive ball of fluff that never stays still
I'm that hansom thing I know you've grown to love
I'm that playful cub that you have to be with
I'm that charmer that compliments you for everything you are to me
I'm that mischievous lion that nips your tail and runs away giggling
I'm the one who stares into your eyes and knows that you're the one for me
I'm everything that you want and ever need me to be
I am and always will be your dearest friend

KK
