Kion's Legacy

Chapter Two: Just Like Him

"Okay, okay. Who am I?" Kiara asked. "'Roar' 'Roar' 'Hevi Kabisa'!" She mocked, imitating Kion.

She was playing charades with the Lion Guard, and her friends, Zuri and Tiifu. Everyone was on their backs laughing hysterically. Everyone except Kion.

"Kiara!" Kion exclaimed. "You're not supposed to talk!!"

"Oh Kion!" Zuri said. "You're just mad because Kiara's making fun of you!"

Kion scoffed.

"You're Kion!" Tiifu called after she finally gained control of her laughter.

"Yes!" Kiara said with a giggle.

"My turn!!" Bunga yelled.

Everybody stopped laughing.

"Ooh-ooh-aha-aha!" he cried. "'It is time!' Come, Simba, so I can hit you with my stick!" Bunga said, swinging an imaginary stick around the air.

This sent the group into laughing fits, again.

"You're Rafiki!" Fuli called.

But Bunga didn't stop! He kept "Ooh-ooh-aha-aha"ing and jumping around like a monkey.

"Kiara." Kiara heard. "Kiara!"

She groaned.

"Hey mom!" she heard Kion say.

Kiara woke up with a start. Her amber colored eyes searched the rock platform, her face full of hope. But she didn't see Kion. Instead she saw her friend Savanna, and Savanna's daughter, Kito. They were staring at her. Her face fell as her eyes landed on Kito. She was sure she heard Kion, but it was just her brother's cub.

"Hi, Kito." She said dully.

"Hello, aunt Kiara." Kito said, her face showing her confusion.

That was weird. I thought.

"What do you need, Kito?" mom asked me.

"I just came to get away from an angry Asha." I replied.

"Ahh!" My mom said.

She pulled me over to her, and licked my head. We smiled. I shook the savanna dust off my pelt, and I gently sat down beside her. Then my aunt cleared her throat.

"Hey, Kito," My aunt Kiara breathed. Her voice sounded shaky, and her eyes were glassy. "Could you come here?"

"Uhh..." I hummed.

"I'll be at the watering hole." My mother said.

"O-okay." I said slowly.

My aunt nodded her head slightly.
