The Lion Guard: A Genuine Brotherhood

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"How's your family, Kion?" Ono asked.

"Everyone's fine." Kion said.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

"It's all clear." Ono said.

"Thanks, Ono." Fuli said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I have to go. Kovu wants to see me.” Kion said.

Fuli’s expression softened.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Kovu settled down outside the den.

Kion padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kovu’s cheek.

“Hi Kovu.” Kion said.

Kovu’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Kovu said warmly.

Kion crawled into Kovu’s paws, and nestled against him.

“Did you have a good patrol?” Kovu asked.

Kion nodded.

He pressed himself against Kovu’s pelt.

“I love you, Kovu.” Kion said.

Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“I love you too.” Kovu said.

He bent his head, and nuzzled Kion’s cheek.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How’s Mosi?” Nita asked.

“He is fine.” Rafiki said.
