So far i was doing well and simba or the pridelanders werent suspecting anything wrong with me but i had a problem of my own. i fell in love with kion. who wouldnt? hes brave, strong, charming, sexy, everything good. hes perfect!

however, there were rumours going around that kion and fuli were mates. it made me angry. i hated fuli. shes the same age as kiara but she doesnt know anything about the whole royal family thing.

"tani. tani? v," a voice called. i looked to see kion with a worried look on his face. "tans, are you okay? you seemed deep in thought," he said.

i shook my head and licked his muzzle. he was surprised by the action and nuzzled me. little did i know simba, the pridelanders and rafiki were watching secretly.

"so, wanna go hunting?" i asked, smiling. kion nodded and we walked to the hunting grounds smiling and simba watched us carefully. "tani. i was wondering what happened when you, er, left the outsiders?" kion stumbled.

"they felt betrayed but kovu was happy for me and he knew what i was doing was right. he actually hoped that he could actually go with me but zira, she banned him from following my shadow." i said sadly. dang, im a good actor. kion nodded sadly, "so tani, you got anything you wanna tell me, im good at secrets,"

i told kion my entire childhood after my mom was exiled. he nodded understanding my problems and tearing up a little at times. i even told him how my mother would kill female cubs as she wanted more males. i told him my mothers plan and why i was here in the first place. i told him why it wasnt working. kion nuzzled me and told me everything was okay. we went back without any prey and saw all the animals with frowns looking at me and simba the worst.

"dad? what is this?" kion quizzed simba. simba forced him into the cave and he walked away from me with tears rolling down his cheeks.

"EXILE!" simba screamed. i shivered with fear and walked back to the outlands with shaky legs and tears rolling down my cheeks. i looked at my reflection and saw zira instead of myself. i cried and ran back to see kovu with open arms.

"k-ko-kovu, i-i love him," i sniffled. kovu shook his head comforted me before mother found us together. "vitani! what are you doing here!?" mother questioned. i explained everything ( i lied a bit ) and she wasnt furious.

"ah, kion is depressed that means the princess is going down now. vitani we appreciate your efforts," mothers says and weeks later kovu was up.

Seven weeks since vitani left and im in the same position and same thoughts. i cant believe dad would do that! i feel so betrayed! and he even made tiifu and i mates! ugh. "kion, you ok?" a soft voice asks and i turn to see kiara with tears streaming down like a waterfall.

"what happened to you?" i ask, examining her from head to toe. "i miss kovu too much, i want to run away, so can you help me? i want to find him and mate with him so then we can start a whole new pride together at least ill be happy," kiara sniffles. "what about me? do you think i have accepted dads decision about exiling vitani!?" i roared. i take a deep breath and smiled crookedly.

"okay, theres a rock in the cave over there and if you push it out i think youre small enough to escape," i tell kiara. she thanks me before doing exactly what i said. i stop crying and went out to my mom. dad was disappointed from kiaras words but he went in to reflect about his actions. zazu was asked to find kiara but he couldnt and found something else

"sire! sir kion! your highness! the outlanders are demanding for war!" he shrieks. dad immediately gets up and tells all the best fighters / hunters to join the fight and i quickly rush to the lion guard.

"Wheres your little daughter nala?" vitani smirks.

"vitani!" nala growls and they roll onto the ground and fight brutally.

nala and vitani give up and stop when they see zira and simba circling. "uh oh, vitani. im-" nala gets cut off with kovu and kiara jumping into the middle of zira and simba.

kion was shocked and so are all the lionesses. after kovu joins the pridelanders, vitani stared at tama and nalas eyes in hope of an answer. she joins the pridelanders and kion was proud of her. after ziras death, kion divorced tiifu and a week after, kopa returned to the pridelands with tiifu and the pride celebrating the life of the prince ( ? ).

vitani found out a day after kopa returned that she was pregnant with kions baby and she fought with cubs in her! she was expecting twins and tiifu was expecting a boy with kopa as the father. kiara wasnt expecting but she had found an orphan cub while taking a walk with kovu it was only a baby and the future king and queen took it to care. they named him kipawa and he had striking similarities to her father.

a week after kipawa was found, it was revealed whom were the parents, kopa and zuri. they had mated a long time before war and while zuri was pregnant she didnt tell anyone and she gave birth on her way to the pridelands and left it there, not wanting to be the main subject of gossip.
