The Lion Guard: An Extraordinary Kinship

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

“How's your family, Kion?" Beshte 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.

"Great job, Ono." Fuli said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli’s cheek.

“I have to go. Kiara 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 Kiara settled down outside the den.

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

“Hi Kiara.” Kion said.

Kiara’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Kiara said.

Kion crawled into Kiara’s paws, and nestled against her.

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

Kion nodded.

He pressed himself against Kiara’s pelt.

“How was the hunt?” Kion asked.

“It was fine.” Kiara answered.

She rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“I love you, my darling.” Kiara said warmly.

“I love you too.” Kion said.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is your family?” Rafiki asked.

“Everyone’s fine.” Nita answered.
