Love and Hate

Exile

Simba motions to the others to get down. They crawl quickly to the bushes, making careful to watch where their paws tread. 

They crept up on the spot, they could noises coming from the cave. 

Kion walked out, spitting out some dirt and dropping a torch on the ground. "That's the last of them. Hope Azaad doesn't wake up anytime soon." He laughs darkly. 

The party did their best to stifle their shock, but a gasp slips out from Busu. Kion's head whips around. 

"So," he said, backing away. "You came because of the words of the Pridelands' so-called 'smartest'. I'm touched." 

Simba and the others exit the brush. 

"Kion," Simba says carefully, approaching him slowly. "What are you doing?" 

Kion chuckles. "Easy question, Dad. Because of my life. You see, for years I longed after Fuli, wanting her so badly. When she refused, I realized that she shouldn't have refused me. Nope, nada. That's why I have began my campaign against her boyfriend, Azaad." 

"Kion," asks Tiifu. "Where's Azaad?" 

Kion nods to the cave, where the fire has started to spread inwards. Simba growls, and the lionesses run over and start to try to break into the cave. 

"Oh, no, you don't," Kion says angrily. He Roars at a tree, which collapses in the front of the entrance, blocking the lionesses and helping feed the fire. 

"Kion!" Simba yells, now backing away in fear. "Where is Siri? Sulu is very worried about her." 

Kion laughs. "Siri is with the Great Lions of the Past now. Has been for awhile now, about ten hours." 

Sulu yells, and tries to rush Kion. Rafiki stops her, and says "Stop it. Fear leads to anger, and anger leads to hate. Hate leads to darkness." 

Sulu nods sullenly, and Kiara places a comforting paw on her shoulder. 

"Kion," Simba says, walking towards him. "You have to stop this. Now." 

Kion snarls. "You can't stop me. No one can. Because I feel invincible." 

He lungs at Simba. Simba hits him with a paw as he goes down, and Kion's head snaps to the side, spitting blood from his mouth. 

He snarls, feral. He digs his claws into Simba's chest and Simba's roars in pain and bites Kion's arm. 

Kion screams, and let's go, holding his injured arm with his other as he bleeds. He falls back on the floor, and Simba jumps on him and pins him down. 

"Kion, I hate to do this," said Simba, sighing. "But I have to. Kion, on the charges of arson, attempted murder, first degree murder, and conspiracy to commit murder, I sentence you to exile in the Outlands." 

Kion laughs. "Hell, no. You can't make me." 

"Kion, I can and I will if I have to, but I'd rather not," Simba says angrily, spitting on him. "Now leave." 

Kion gets up. "Fine, I will." 

He gets up, limping and wincing and starts to leave. The lionesses drag a gasping and almost dead Azaad as his home burns to the ground behind them. 

He looks back. "Hell hath no fury like me." He laughs manically as he lopes slowly off in the direction of the Outlands. 

(AN: KION IS VERY ANGRY RIGHT NOW. PERHAPS SOME VOTING, COMMENTING, AND FOLLOWING WOULD CALM HIM DOWN, SO PLEASE DO SO! THANKS A LOT, GUYS!)
