Remember Who You Are

Chapter 6: A Water Hole Adventure

The next day Kiara was up earlier than usual. The golden brown Princess was anxious to check on her brother and see if his memory had returned. Kiara bounded over to her brother, who was still asleep. Kiara stared at Kion for a few minutes, debating on rather she should wake him. "I know someone's there," Kion said, surprising Kiara. Kion opened his eyes and stared at Kiara.

"Morning Kion," Kiara said with a smile.

"Morning uh..uh wait don't tell me I know this," Kion said, closing his eyes in an effort to remember his sister's name. "You're uh my sister...uh Kurya right?"

"Its Kiara," Kiara corrected, disappointed that Kion still didn't have his memory back.

"Right Kiara," Kion said, embarrassed that he had forgotten. "I knew that. I swear I did."

"Its ok Kion," Kiara said with a smile.

"No its not," Kion said with a grunt. "Its not ok that I forgot my own sister's name."

"Hey at least you got part of it right," Kiara said with a slight laugh, trying to lighten the mood. Just then Zuri and Tiifu came bounding up to the brother and sister.

"Hey Kiara," Tiifu said with a smile. Then she turned and smiled big at Kion. "Hey Kion," she said cheerfully. "I'm so glad to see you awake."

"Thanks uh..." Kion said, looking at Kiara for help.

"Oh these are my best friends," Kiara said. "This is Tiifu and this is Zuri." Kiara pointed at each friend as she spoke.

"Oh yeah," Zuri said. "I almost forgot that Kion has amnesia. Silly me." Zuri let out a laugh when she said this part.

"You're funny," Kion said with a laugh of his own. "And pretty too." Kion quickly covered his mouth, not meaning to have said that last part out loud.

"Thanks Kion," Zuri said with a smile. "I'm glad someone noticed how good I look." Zuri let out another laugh when she spoke. Just then Zazu came flying in, looking frantic.

"Zazu what's wrong?!" Kiara asked, alarmed at the horn bill's appearance.

"Forgive me Princess but I was looking for your father," Zazu said. "There's an emergency that needs his attention at once!"

"Princess?" Kion whispered, his amber eyes wide.

"He's making his rounds," Kiara informed Zazu. "He should be by the Outland border."

"I'll go there at once!" Zazu said, taking off full force to find Simba. After he was gone Kion spoke.

"You're a Princess?" he asked, his voice coming out soft.

"She's not just a Princess," Zuri said. "She's the heir. The Future Queen."

"Whoa," Kion breathed, his eyes wide. "So I'm a Prince?"

"Sure are little brother," Kiara said with a smile.

"And Simba and Nala are the King and Queen?" Kion asked.

"Duh," Zuri said, rolling her blue eyes. "Of course they are dummy."

"Hey!" Kiara snapped, glaring at Zuri. "Don't call my brother dumb Zuri! He can't help it that he can't remember!"
