The Lion Guard: A Great Kinship

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

Kion and his friends were patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's Ameba?" Kion asked.

"She's fine." Fuli 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.

"Thanks, Ono." Bunga said.

Kion cleared his throat.

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

Fuli nodded.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said.

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.

“How was the hunt?” He asked.

“It was fine.” Kiara said.

Kion pressed himself against Kiara’s pelt.

“I love you.” Kion said.

Kiara rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“I love you too.” Kiara said.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.

She moved closer, and nestled against Rafiki’s side.

Rafiki pressed a palm against her cheek.
