The Lion Guard - AU

Chapter 1

I'll try to include a song each chapter, since each one is supposed to be an episode.  Some will be original, and some will be from the TV show.  I might perform any solo songs, but I'm not that good at singing or composing musical scores.  Feel free to do it yourself, but at least put it in the comments.  I want to hear them.

This chapter's song is inspired by "Upendi", from The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride.  It's fitting for here.

"Kion?" Fuli started. "Maybe this is one of those times when I should take over."

"Take over?" Kion turned on Fuli.

"Until you feel better." Fuli explained.

"I'm the leader of the Guard, Fuli, and I don't think so." Kion growled.

"No, Kion, don't do this." Fuli pleaded, not breaking eye contact with Kion. "I care too much about you for this to happen."

"Well, I don't! I don't care about or need you with me!" Kion snapped at Fuli, then turned and ran away.  Fuli turned in the opposite direction, then started to slowly walk away.

"Fuli, Kion, wait!" She heard Bunga call, but nothing after that.  It seemed that Bunga was stopped from running after them by the rest of the Guard.  Fuli wasn't paying any attention to what was happening behind her, she was too focused on what Kion said to her. How could I have been so foolish? Telling him I care about him with his scar bugging him. I should've known he would be harsh in his rejection. Fuli sat down, wondering what could've made her tell Kion about her feelings at that time.

Bunga continued to struggle before finally being let go of by Anga. "Finally!" He turned to rest of the Guard. "Kion wasn't thinking. He likes Fuli."

"Are you telling us that Kion-?" Beshte asked.

"Oops." Bunga interrupted. "He told me not to tell anyone but looks like the cat's out of the bag. His scar is turning him evil."

"Not evil, Bunga." Beshte corrected. "He just isn't thinking straight. I'm sure him and Fuli will be back soon."

"Kion might Roar at me if you tell him what I told you, though." Bunga said.

"It was actually pretty obvious in the first place." Ono answered. "I may not be keenest of sight anymore, but from what I saw before I lost my eyesight, Fuli likes Kion as well. What Fuli said before they both ran away is perfect evidence. Common knowledge, really."

"Just don't tell him what I said." Bunga cautioned.

Kion stopped running, realizing he couldn't escape what he said to Fuli. Why did I have to say that?  She won't believe me if I tell her the truth anymore.  He hoped Bunga wouldn't tell the rest of the Guard, but Bunga was Bunga.  He certainly would tell the Guard.  When he gets his paws on Bunga, he's going to pay. Don't think that way.  You can throw dirt on him, or pin him, but that's it.  No more Roaring until your scar is healed.  He turned his gaze to a puddle, and saw his reflection turn into Scar.  No, Scar, I'll never be like you.   Before Scar could tell Kion that they're the same, he splashed his reflection.  I can't talk to Grandfather Mufasa like this, either.  Kion sat down, wondering what to do, until he remembered what he did when Simba didn't want to lead the Guard with only one lion, himself.  He figured that if nothing else would help, singing might. He could almost hear Fuli's wonderful voice.

Anga started pacing in front of the remaining members of the Guard. "Now that Kion and Fuli are gone, who's going to lead us in the moment?"
