Chapter 1: Kiara's Little Brother
It was two days after Kiara's presentation as Princess of the Pridelands. And Simba, the King of the Pridelands, couldn't be a happier father. Everything was perfect. But suddenly, as he was watching the sun go down with his mate Nala, they both saw flashes of green light. These flashes made birds fly out of trees in the jungle not far from Pride Rock.
"Mother. Take care of Kiara, Nala and I are going to investigate." Simba said to the aging Sarabi who grimly nodded having heard tales of humans who could make green light that killed other humans.
"How about a race?" Nala asked with a smirk after they walked for about an hour away from Pride Rock.
"Nala." Simba scolded his mate and Queen. "This is serious."
"Come on." Nala pleaded in a teasing tone she hadn't used for a while. "We haven't raced since we where cubs."
Simba smirked back at Nala. "All right then. Then he said very fast "One two three GO!" This surprised Nala as she half expected him to turn her offer down. But here they where, racing like they where cubs again. And just like they where cubs, she was winning. She gasped as they got to the strange sight where the flashes went off and skidded to a stop. They where near the Elephant Graveyard.
"Ha ha." Simba laughed as he skidded after her. "I win."
"Simba." She said. "Look." She pointed down with her paw into the hillside of bones where they saw two dead humans, a male with pitch black hair and female with flaming red hair. And the female was holding something. Something still squirming. They heard an infants they heard familiar growling.
"Shenzi." Simba whispered as they crouched down low. "Banzai and Ed." The three aging hyenas neared the squirming bundle in the females arms.
"The two dead ones are yours." Shenzi said to Banzai and Ed. "The tender man cub is mine." They where practically salivating.
"Simba." Nala hissed. "We can't let the infant die!"
"Right. Damn hyenas." Simba growled. He then roared and lept down into the graveyard.
"Mufasa!" Banzai said in shock bouncing back and rolling backwards. "He's dead!"
"Long time no see." Simba glared at the 3 scavengers.
"Simba ha ha ha." Shenzi said. "Haven't you grown into quite the stud?" She circled the King. "We where just about to dine on this delightful feast. Care to join us?"
"You know the I can't do that." Simba stated. His grandfather had made it a capital offense to hunt humans in the Pride Lands before he died.
:Oh, that's right." Shenzi mocked. "That pesky law your granddad made." She sneered at the lion she had hunted when he was a cub. "That doesn't apply ro us.' She added and Banzai and Ed moved toward the two dead humans.
Nala roared and jumped in front of the two males.
"Its the chick!" Banzai said. "Nulu? Nolo?" He asked Shenzi.
"My name is Nala." Nala said with a glare at the hyenas. "Leave the humans alone. We're taking the Man cub with us."
Simba raised an eye at Nala. She glared at him to know she meant business.
"Right." Simba agreed. "He's coming home with us."
"Oh really?" Shenzi mocked. "You and what army is going to stop us from snapping that little neck in two?"
Suddenly, lionesses surrounded them. Growling from atop the cliff.
"Should have known." Shenzi said. "Never taunt a guy who can answer that question." She turned to her pack mates. "Back off." And the 3 scavengers left hungry.
"Leave." Simba told the lionesses. "I need to talk things with my Queen." The lionesses obeyed and left for Pride Rock.
"Nala." He asked. "What exactly did you mean by "We're taking him home with us?"
"Exactly what I said." She told her mate. Moving to the bundle and moving a piece of cloth to reveal a human infant younger than Kiara. "Look at him Simba. He's you. Its just that he lost his father AND his mother."
The human infant blinked up at them. A curiously shaped cut shaped like a bolt of lightning that was still bleeding. It felt un natural. Like something evil had touched this child. But the child himself was not evil.
"One of the lionesses told me before they left, that they overheard what happened." Nala told her mate. "The female begged another human male to spare her son, he told her to stand aside."
"But she didn't." Simba finished for her with a sad expression laying down next to the infant allowing him to pet his mane.
"His name is Harry." She said.
"Well." Simba said, nuzzling the infant who was growing on him. "Welcome to the Pride, my son.' He said with a smile as Harry yawned and snuggled into Nala who had layed down on the other side of him as if he knew she was a mother.
To Be continued...
Thought I'd try my hand at yet another first pairing. KovuHarry. Kopa will be in this but he will be Kiara's "Betrothed"
