Remember Who You Are

Chapter 14: Confrontation

"Kion," Kiara began slowly. "Why would you say I pushed you down the gorge?"

"No reason," Kion said, shaking his head. "Just a stupid flash of memory I had of us fighting at the gorge."

"And you remembered me pushing you down the gorge?" Kiara asked, making sure she didn't give away how worried she was.

"No," Kion said, shaking his head. "I don't remember that. Should I remember that? Is that what happened that day Kiara? Did you push me?"

"Kion I.." Kiara began. But she was interrupted bu Zuri coming onto the scene.

"Kiara wouldn't do something like that Kion!" the tan cub said, getting in Kion's face. "So you'd better watch your mouth!"

"Get away from me Zuri!" Kion shouted, shoving Zuri away from him. Zuri growled and went to go at Kion again. But Kiara stopped her friend.

"Zuri no!" Kiara said harshly. "You try that again and I'll give you another beating!"

"Try it Kiara!" Zuri shouted. "I'll give you some nasty scars if you do!"

"Well as much fun as this is I'm gonna go," Kion said, turning to walk away.

"Kion wait!" Kiara cried out. "We're not done talking!"

"I am," Kion declared. "I'll see you later Kiara." With that Kion was gone.

"Good I'm glad he's gone," Zuri said with a growl. "He's nothing but a pest anyways."

"Zuri what is your problem?!" Kiara demanded. "Why are you being such a jerk?!"

"Kion just brings out the worst in me," Zuri declared. "He makes me so mad sometimes. And he used to make you mad too Kiara. You were ready to kill him before his accident and now he's your best friend. What's up with that?"

"He's my brother," Kiara pointed out.

"And so what?" Zuri said. Kiara said nothing so Zuri continued. "Look Ki' I get it. You fell bad that Kion got hurt and lost his memory. But you shouldn't. Kion wouldn't have gotten hurt if he hadn't ratted us out to your parents."

"Yeah I know," Kiara began.

"Kion didn't rat us out," Tiifu said, suddenly appearing. "It was Timon that told on us. He saw us by the watering hole that night and he's the one that told King Simba and Queen Nala."

"You sure about that Tiif?" Kiara asked.

"He told me so himself," Tiifu said. "Now don't you feel bad for being a jerk Zuri?" Tiifu looked at her friend when she said this part.

"Yeah well maybe I was wrong," Zuri said, avoiding eye contact. "I admit ok? I'm sorry."

"You should apologize to Kion too," Kiara declared.

"Yeah I know," Zuri said with a sigh. "And I will. C'mon lets go find him." With that the three females went off in search of the Prince.

Meanwhile Kion had gone to the Outland border to wait for Dogo. Looking around the golden Prince didn't see any sign of the young jackal. So he decided to wait for him. Just then Kion heard a voice call his name. Turing Kion saw Jasiri heading towards him along with her sister Madona. "Kion!" Jasiri called happily. "Its so good to see you!" Kion's eyes went wide as he saw the two hyenas walking towards him.
