~*CHAPTER TWO*~
Over the next week, both Vitani's and Kiara's cubs were born. Vitani's young Kabaila, or her young cub, was male, and dark in complection, making him look an almost copy of King Kovu. She looked at her cub with the fondness, her own mother never looked at her with. Kabaila had brilliant emerald eyes, and within the next few days he was crawling around, looking for mischief.
Kiara's cubs were both female. Dafina was the prettier one of the two, and looked much like Sarafina or Nala. She had beautiful orange eyes, and was much more likely to be the one to rule after Kovu's death. Where as her sister, Aziza, was very dark, almost black. She looked like Scar but in a feminine way. She also portrayed Zira in these looks, she had lime green eyes, identical to Scar's. You could easily say that she was Zira and Scar's grand daughter.
A few weeks later, Aziza and Dafina were playing with the other cubs, Kinta and Kabaila. They were fun to play with, and for the most part got along fairly well. Kabaila didn't much like Aziza, maybe because she looked much like him? He stayed with Dafina, and played with her the most. Kinta liked Dafina a little more than Aziza as well. He liked Dafna because she was prettier, and in his opinion, he liked her because the grown-ups liked her more. Aziza played with them, though she could tell that everyone liked her sister more than her, she stayed quiet, and tried to accept this.
A few days later, and the cubs were at the peak of energeticness. Dafina liked to play the same games, and she was quite a bit mean. She thought the pride revolved around her, and she loved to play pranks on the adults, and bugging them, to a point where any other cub would've been in more than serious trouble. Kinta disliked her more and more with each and every day. He was bigger than the other cubs, mostly because he was older, but he was fun to be around. As for Kabaila, he liked Dafina much more than the other cubs, he loved her attitude and he loved to play Pride with her. She would be the queen, and he would be her most loyal pride member. Aziza was still an outcast, but she tried to make friends with the other cubs.
One day, Aziza was outside looking around for her sister, she and her sister got along really well, and they were almost unseperatable, except for when the boys were around, then they went their parting ways. She found her sister over in a corner with Kabaila, they were playing Pride again, so she stayed away. Oddly enough, Kinta wasn't with them, she had noticed the older cub not playing with them as much, but she couldn't help but wonder where he was. She decided to go looking for him, maybe he was hurt.
She looked around for a little while before finding him battle training with her father. She decided not to interupt, and instead just sat and watched them. Soon she was joined by her sister, Dafina. She smiled at her as she sat down beside her, then glanced away when Kabaila joined her, sitting directly between the two princesses. He didn't really concentrate on Kovu or Kinta, but more on Dafina. He pestered her with questions, about who knows what. Aziza just watched Kinta with a lazy expression. Finally Dafina was able to send Kabaila away to fetch something for her.
Dafina finally got bored with just watching the two fight and decided to intervene. She smiled and meowed, "Oh wow! Kinta, you almost knocked my dad over, you are soo strong!" She said in awe. She then pattered over to them, and sat down next to her father, looking at Kinta with a sweet and sincere expression.
"Thank you, Princess." Kinta murmered back to her, before looking up at King Kovu, who he had currently been training with. Wondering if they would continue training after the rude interruption.
Kovu was looking down at his daughter with a thoughtful expression, he cast a glance over to Kinta as well, before flicking his tail and murmering, "We'll continue later, right now it looks like someone wants to play with you." He smiled and padded away to go find his mate, Kiara.
Aziza watched her sister and Kinta carefully, finally Kinta abandoned Dafina and padded over to her. She looked up at him with wide lime green eyes, he smiled softly at her then asked, "Hey, wanna go play something, or do something?" He smiled playfully and leapt away, going a short distance from pride rock. Aziza nodded and got up, following him at a short distance. He slowed down and she slowly caught up.
"So, why did you ask me of all cubs if I wanted to play?" She asked puzzledly.
He shrugged, "I dunno, I've watched you play by yourself, and how the grown-ups..." He broke off, then after a brief pause shrugged again. He then continued to walk, thinking. He wasn't old enough to do much, basically battle training was as fun as it got these days, if only Aziza had better games to play than Dafina. "Wanna be friends?" He asked suddenly, looking at her with joy at possibly having a new friend.
"Yeah, sure." Aziza replied, before they continued padding away.
"Soo, what should we play?" Kinta finally asked, after they were a few yards from pride rock.
Aziza grinned devilishly, "Lets play... I dunno, lets go explore!" She suggested, taking the lead as they padded away. She stalked through the grass, slowly making her way towards the water hole, which she had never been to before. She finally parted the grass little ways, and almost fell into the small pond already.
Kinta paused as Aziza stumbled ahead of him, softly growling, "Hey, okay so I came with you, now what's the hold up?" He slowly went around her, quite curious. He almost met the same fate Aziza had, but caught himself closely. "Woah.." He breathed, watching the antelope and a few zebras drink from the small area.
"Exactly!" Aziza whispered, looking at him. She giggled and began to lurch forward, slowly easing her paw onto a rock, "Its strong and big enough to hold my weight!" She grunted slowly dropping down onto the rock. She finally landed on it, and sat down, dabbing a paw into the water, she continued doing this as she looked back up at Kinta. She smiled and wasn't paying much attention to her stronger action, she lost her balance and slipped off of the rock. "AAH" She wailed as she was plunged into the water.
"HOLD ON!" Kinta yowled as he tried to find a way down to her. The only good spot was the rock she had fallen off of, and he wasn't fond of possibly meeting her fate. He sighed and jumped down onto the rock, he saw Aziza thrashing about in the water, and he slowly leaned forward to grasp her scruff.
Aziza was bobbing in the water, as a strange bird flew overhead. She gasped and was plunged back into the water, where only blackness met her. A loud roar intercepted the darkness, as Aziza's head was flung above the surface of the water. She coughed, and shuddered as a wave of water dribbled out. She tried to open her eyes, but they seemed almost glued to her cheek. She finally slitted them open, getting dizzy, she coughed up more water.
"You'll be okay, Aziza."
"We're almost there."
"I thought you were very brave going down there."
"Shush! Kinta, she did a very stupid thing. And you were just as mouse-brained to try and help her." A muffled tone spat around her fur.
Kinta whimpered and continued moving, "Are you going to tell Kiara? Or worse, Kovu?" He asked the lioness carrying Aziza.
"Why wouldn't I?" She growled as they stepped foot onto Pride Rock.
Aziza whimpered as she was dropped onto the hard stone, cringing as her mother;s voice echoed in her brain and eardrums.
"What happened Haraka?" The queen's voice shuddered around her head.
"I found her drowning in the water hole, and him almost falling in after her."
"I was no~"
A growl interrupted Kinta's mid sentence.
"I see." Kiara meowed again. "Well thanks for helping Haraka." She gently grasped Aziza up into her jaws, carrying her to the den.
She opened her eyes just enough to catch a glimpse of a despaired Kinta being lectured by his mother.
~*CHAPTER THREE*~
Dafina bounded into the main den, she stopped as she found Aziza being washed and lectured by their mom.
"Hey, where were you? Me and Kabaila were playing Pride and couldn't find you or Kinta. Kinta just now told me where to find you, he sorta mouthed it as he was being lectured by Haraka!" She murmered, looking at her mother.
Kiara looked down at Aziza before getting up and padding out of the den so she could tell Dafina of her 'adventure'.
Aziza watched her mother leave before whispering. "Me and Kinta went to the water hole. It was so much fun, that was until I fell into the stupid pond." She growled, padding up to her sister, and huddling with her to stay warmish.
