The Lion Guard: A Dedicated Brotherhood

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Urembo Meadows.

"How's Basi?" Kion asked.

"He's fine." Beshte 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." Fuli said.

Kion cleared his throat.

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

Fuli’s expression softened.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said warmly.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

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

“Hi Kovu.” Kion said.

Kovu’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Kovu said.

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

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

Kion nodded.

“Can we hunt together tonight?” Kion asked.

Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“Of course we can, Kion.” Kovu said.

Kion pressed himself against Kovu’s pelt.

“I love you, Kovu.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Kovu answered.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How’s Makini?” Nita asked.

“She is fine.” Rafiki said.

Nita moved closer, and nestled against him.

“I love you.” Nita said.

Rafiki’s expression softened.

“I love you too, my darling.” Rafiki said warmly.

He pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.
