The Lion Guard: Kiara's Love

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"How's Ma?" Fuli asked.

"Grandma's fine." Bunga answered.

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.

"Great job, Ono." Beshte said.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion's cheek.

"Can I visit Mari?" She asked.

Kion nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi!" Mari said brightly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"Hi Mari.” She said.

Kion moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari’s cheek.

“Are you having a good day?” He asked.

Marigold nodded.

Meanwhile, Belee and Denahi had met up with Kiara at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Denahi asked.

"It was fine." Kiara answered.

Belee nodded.

She pressed herself against Kiara's pelt.

"I love you, Mom." Belee said.

Kiara's expression softened.

"I love both of you very much." She said.

"Are you proud of us?" Denahi asked.

Kiara nodded.

"You two always make me proud." She said.

She rubbed a paw against Denahi’s cheek.

"Thanks, Mom." Denahi said.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"Do we have enough herbs?" She asked.

Rafiki nodded.

"Do not worry, Nita." He said patiently.

Nita moved closer, and nestled against him.

"I love you." She said.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"I love you too." He answered.
