Meant To Be
“Kion?” Rani goes to Kion after he has spoken to his grandfather.
“Rani. Uh, hi.”
“Have you thought about what I said?”
“You mean about never being welcome at the Tree of Life?” He jokes.
“Hahaha. That was a while ago. Funny how things can change once you get to know someone.”
“Yeah, it's true.”
“We really do make a good team, Kion.”
“I know. The Lion Guard and the Night Pride work really well together.”
“Well, yeah. But I also mean you and me.”
“Yeah, we do.”
“Being queen has been more work than I expected. I really could use your help keeping the Tree of Life at peace.”
“If I've learned anything about you, Rani, it's that you don't need my help. You don't need anyone's help. You're a great leader, Rani.”
“Thank you, Kion. I want to be a great queen someday, too. And a great queen could use a great king, like you.” She smiles, blushing a little.
“Uh... Rani. I don't know if I understand. You... Are you inviting me to be your king?”
"Well, yeah. We have a lot in common and I think... No. I'm sure we were made for each other. We are the same pride, Kion.” She starts nuzzling him and purring, but Kion pulls himself away from her slightly, with a serious face. “Kion? What's up?"
“Rani. I... I like you a lot. You are an amazing lioness and I know you will be a great queen.” She blushes. "But... I can't accept being your king." Now she gets discouraged. “Sorry, Rani. I know that ruling the Tree Of Life by your side seems to be the right choice to follow the circle of life. But if there's one thing I learned as leader of the Lion Guard it's that the circle of life is uncertain. We never know what will happen.”
"What are you trying to tell me, Kion?" Rani asks, a little discouraged.
“Rani. My heart is elsewhere, with another girl.” Kion blushes with a dizzy smile.
"I see." Rani realizes that Kion is in love with another girl and she remembers about someone. "It's Fuli, isn't it?"
"Wha... What?!" Kion is surprised by the queen's question.
“I saw how you smile at each other and the way you look at each other. It's her, isn't it?”
“Y-Yes. It's her." He blushes again.
"I would really like you to stay here with me, but I respect your decision."
"Thank you, Rani."
"And... although she's not a lioness, I hope you'll be very happy together, Kion."
“Rani. I know that the circle of life doesn't work like that, but... maybe it's time to change the circle of life.”
"Yeah. Maybe you're right.” She remains a little sad.
“Rani. I am sure that one day you will find someone who will make you very happy.”
"I know, Kion."
Some time after talking to Rani, Kion decides to do something that he intends to do for a long time: reveal to Fuli his feelings for her. Kion guides Fuli to a place far from any confusion, so that the two can speak at will.
“Okay, Kion. Why did you call me here?”
“Fuli. I... There's one thing that I've wanted to tell you for a long time.” Kion is nervous.
"So... tell me."
"It-It's not that easy."
Fuli approaches Kion, comforting him with her beautiful smile: “Come on, Kion. You know you can count on me for everything. Tell me. What's up?"
"Fuli." Kion smiles at her, blushing slightly. “You are always by my side when I need it and you always support me. Although we sometimes argue, you are always ready to help me.” Right now, Fuli is also blushing. “I really enjoy being with you, Fuli. And... I would like you to accept... I want you to... I..."
"Say it, Kion." Fuli asks, hoping that he will say what she wants to hear.
“Fuli. Do you want to be my girlfriend?” He asks, blushed, with some fear of her answer.
Suddenly, Fuli jumps on him, pinning him down and starts to lick his face happily. “Yes, yes, yes, Kion. A thousand times yes!”
Without wasting any more time, they both share a passionate kiss.
“Kion! Fuli! Where are you?" They quickly separate from the kiss when they hear Bunga calling out to them.
"We'd better go and see what's going on." Kion says.
"Yeah."
The two get up going to the Guard, but not before Fuli kisses Kion on the cheek, making them both blush.
The Lion Guard and the Night Pride come together to hear Jasiri and Janja talk about Zira's attack and her pride.
“Rani. We really have to go immediately.”
“I know, Kion. But... I want you to know that you and your friends will always be welcome to the Tree Of Life. We... We will always be friends.”
"Thank you, Rani."
Makini stays in the Tree Of Life, following her role in the circle of life as Queen Rani's royal mjuzi. Azaad decides to help the Lion Guard, showing them a faster way to the Pride Lands. Once there, they face Vitani's Guard, but hey are stopped by Kiara. After hearing everything that happened while they were gone, Kion and his friends visit their friends and family.
That night, Kion and Fuli meet secretly and walk through the Pride Lands.
“Kion. When do you think we can tell the others about us?”
“I don't know, Fuli. I don't know how they will react.”
“I don't want to know what the others think. I just want to be with you.” She nuzzles him, making him blush a little.
"We have to take it easy, Fuli."
"Okay. As long as you stay by my side, I don't mind waiting.” They nuzzles each other, purring.
Shortly after, they arrive at the Pride Rock, where Fuli says goodbye to Kion with a passionate kiss. In the distance, Kiara sees that and smiles. After Fuli leaves, Kion goes up to the Pride Rock and he's surprised by his sister: "Hello, little brother."
“Kiara?! Wha... What are you doing here?! How long have you been out here?!”
“Relax, Kion. Come with me. Let's talk for a while.”
"Ok." Kion follows his sister, feeling a little confused.
The two siblings gather at the tip of the Pride Rock, watching the starry sky. Kiara is the first to talk: "How long, Kion?"
"How long what?" He remains confused.
"How long have you and Fuli been together?"
“Oh. Did you see, huh?” Kion lowers his head slightly in shame.
“You don't have to be ashamed, Kion. I even think you are a beautiful couple.” She smiles, cheering up her brother.
"You mean you don't think our love is wrong?"
“Kion. Love is never wrong. Let me tell you what I learned from my relationship with Kovu. Love always finds a way.” Kion listens to his sister, feeling more and more confident. “If you and Fuli love each other, I think you should do whatever it takes to defend your love. Even if some animals tell you it's wrong, you should never give up. Fight for your happiness.”
"Thank you, sis." Kion nuzzles Kiara, purring and she does the same.
The next morning, Azaad leaves the Pride Lands returning to the Tree Of Life. Kion's Guard and Vitani's Guard make a contest to decide who should keep defending the lands. In the end, Vitani challenges Kion, even without having the roar. So, Kion thinks about everything he done in the past as leader of the Lion Guard, but it's when he looks at his beloved cheetah that he makes a decision. Kion decides to give the roar to Vitani in order to have a more peaceful life. However, it's decided that he and his friends will help Vitani's Guard when necessary.
Kion takes advantage of the fact that they are all together to reveal his love for Fuli, making her blush. At first, everyone is surprised and some animals leave, not accepting their relationship. However, Kion's parents take their son's decision well. Of course, at the beginning, they find it a bit strange, since Fuli is not a lioness. But, seeing how happy Kiara is with Kovu, a relationship that seemed impossible, Simba and Nala end up accepting their son's relationship with Fuli.
Kion and Fuli spend the next few days strolling, playing, enjoying the peace of the Pride Lands, sharing their love for each other. Gradually, the animals that initially rejected their love begin to feel comfortable and happy to see them together. It doesn't take long for all the animals in the Pride Lands, even their friends in the Outlands, to accept them.
One day, Kion and Fuli watch the sunset on a hill, their heads resting on each other.
"We can finally be together without hearing insults." Fuli comments.
"Yeah. The most important thing is that we are together. But it feels even better, knowing that everyone accepts us.”
They continue watching the sunset snuggled together, until Fuli decides to ask, blushing a little: “Kion. Do you want to sleep with me tonight?”
"You... you want to sleep with me?!" Kion is surprised by the cheetah's proposal, blushing heavily.
"It's what I want most, my love."
Kion shows his beloved a big passionate smile and she realizes that he has accepted her proposal.
The couple finds a small cave where they can spend the night without being disturbed. They look at each other, completely in love, and instinctively, their lips touch, sharing a deep kiss. Their tongues play with each other, mixing their hot saliva. Both feel their bodies getting hotter and hotter.
Right after the kiss, Fuli turns on her back, showing her perfect pussy to Kion, making him blush heavily. "F-Fuli."
"I want you, Kion." Fuli smiles seductively at her lover.
Without thinking twice, Kion approaches the cheetah and slowly licks her pussy. Fuli moans a little when she feels the lion's rough tongue rubbing her flower. After a few rubs, the lion decides to stick his tongue inside her pussy, while his cock rises with desire. Fuli moans a little louder when she feels his tongue brush against her soft walls. Kion enjoys the feeling of licking his perfect mate's perfect pussy. Her moans become bigger when he starts licking her deeper. Kion quickly moves his tongue, until she lets out a loud moan and her juices squirt into Kion's mouth. The lion tastes the sweet juices of the lioness, swallowing everything with pleasure.
“Oh Kion. You're amazing." Fuli smiles.
Kion says nothing. The lion walks over the cheetah, showing her a cute smile and stopping looking at her beautiful emerald green eyes. When Kion touches his dick at the entrance to Fuli's pussy, they look passionately at each other, happy to finally be sharing their love at a higher level.
Cautiously, Kion slides his cock into Fuli's tight, soft pussy, making them both let out a slight moan. The lion starts thrusting slowly. Fuli feels the barbs of his dick rubbing her smooth walls and moans at the sensation. Kion continues pushing slowly for some time, not wanting to hurt his beloved. However, it doesn't take long until Fuli asks for more and he starts thrusting faster, making her moan a little louder.
The two continue moaning, feeling the pleasure increasing in their bodies. Kion continues thrusting quickly and lowers his head to lick Fuli's soft chest. The cheetah leans her head back on the ground, enjoying the pleasure that the lion gives her by rubbing his rough tongue slowly on her soft body, climbing up to her neck, where she moans some more.
Then Kion leans down to kiss the cheetah's sweet lips, continuing to fuck her. Again, their tongues play with each other and their saliva mix. The love they feel for each other is intense and each kiss has a special flavor. They continue like this for some time.
After the kiss, they exchange a smile and a passionate look again. Then, Kion starts thrusting faster and harder in Fuli's pussy. They both moan louder, feeling their bodies clash, Kion's balls hitting her hard. The cheetah hugs the lion tightly, feeling her body shaking each time Kion pushes his cock harder and deeper into her pussy.
Their screams become louder when Kion uses all his strength and speed. The lion feels his cock swell inside her pussy. With his maximum strength, Kion pushes his dick as deep as he can in Fuli's pussy. The two moan loudly, when Kion feels his rough cock shooting multiple shots of cum and Fuli feels the lion's hot cum filling her pussy.
Finally, Kion gets off the cheetah and lies down beside her, both of them catching their breath.
“Kion. Thank you for coming to spend the night with me.”
“Fuli. I would like to live with you from now on.”
"Are you serious?" Fuli's amazed.
“I love you, Fuli. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
"This is everything I want most, my love." Fuli thanks him with another passionate kiss.
That night, they sleep together, Fuli lying on top of Kion lovingly.
Since they decided to move in together, Kion and Fuli are happier than ever. All the animals in the Pride Lands can clearly see that the lion and the cheetah are completely in love. Every day, whenever they walk through the lands, the couple kisses, hugs, nuzzles... All their love demonstrations are visible and it's impossible to hide their happiness.
However, one day, Fuli begins to feel sick and tired, even without eating or running a lot, which is unusual. Clearly concerned for the welfare of her mate, Kion convinces her to go and talk to Rafiki to understand what she has.
“This is really interesting. Very interesting." Rafiki says, after analyzing Fuli's body.
"What does she have, Rafiki?" Asks Kion, very concerned about her mate.
"She has something to grow within her." Explains Rafiki in his mysterious tone.
“Come on, Rafiki. Say it at once!” Fuli is anxious. "What is wrong with me?"
"You are pregnant, Fuli."
"What?!" Fuli and Kion react in the same way: total surprise.
“Rafiki. That's not possible. Kion and I can't have children.”
“Fuli's right, Rafiki. I'm a lion and she's a cheetah. It's impossible!"
Rafiki goes back to analyze Fuli's belly, while she and Kion watch him confused.
"No. It's realy true. You are going to be parents.” Rafiki explains with joy.
Kion and Fuli look at each other. At first they are completely surprised, but quickly, the surprise turns into total joy.
After leaving Rafiki, the couple walks, discussing their current situation.
“Wow, Kion. I can't believe this is really happening. It looks like a dream."
“I know, Fuli. But... Rafiki said it is rare, but it sometimes happens. Two animals of different species can have children. We can have children.” Kion is very happy.
“I am happy that this is possible. But I'm even happier that you are the father of my children.” They nuzzles each other, purring.
Kion and Fuli decide to tell their friends and family that they are going to be parents. Like them, they are surprised at first, but end up accepting this situation well and are very happy for them. The same is true of the other animals in the kingdom, which slowly conform to this idea.
During pregnancy, Kion becomes quite protective of Fuli. He hunts for her, prevents her from making great efforts and he's always there to support her, whenever she needs it.
After four and a half months, Fuli is about to give birth.
(A cheetah takes 3 to 6 months to give birth. It's common knowledge.)
"Aaaaaaahh!!!"
"Breathe, Fuli." Rafiki is supporting the couple, helping Fuli to give birth.
"Don't worry dear. I'm here with you.” Kion is there to support his beloved. He licks her cheek trying to calm her down.
"Aaaaaaaaahhh!!!"
Finally, the first baby is born. It's a small and beautiful hybrid with the mother's fur and eyes and the father's body. Kion is delighted and nuzzles his son.
Soon after, the second baby is born. It's a small hybrid with the fur and eyes of the father and the body of the mother. Kion lovingly licks his second son.
Finally, the third birth. It's a girl and her hair is the color of her father, but with the spots of her mother. She has the body of a lion, but the tail and ears of a cheetah. Her eyes are a mix of the father's colors and the mother's colors. Kion nuzzles his daughter.
Rafiki places the three cubs next to Fuli, who cries with joy when she sees how magnificent they are.
“Congratulations, Kion and Fuli. You have three beautiful hybrids here.”
"Thank you, Rafiki." They thank him with a big smile.
"Good. I will leave you in family.” Rafiki comes out of their den.
“Look at them, Kion. They are perfect." Fuli smiles, watching her children playing with each other.
“Yes, they are perfect. Like you, my love.” Kion nuzzles Fuli, the two of them purring.
The couple introduces their children to the royal family, which is moved by the beauty of the three hybrids.
"This is really incredible." Simba comments.
"My beautiful grandchildren." Nala nuzzles the cubs.
"Congratulations, little brother." Kiara smiles.
"The circle of life is really extraordinary." Simba says. “It's constantly changing and it always gives us beautiful life lessons. And now, the circle of life has presented you with these three beautiful cubs. I am very proud of you, my son.” Simba nuzzles Kion.
"Asante, dad." Kion starts purring.
"I am sure you'll be very happy." Nala smiles at Fuli.
"I always said: love always finds a way." Kiara smiles too.
“Thank you, Nala. Thank you, Queen Kiara.”
The Pride Lands remain magnificent and now have more life. Three beautiful cheetah-lion hybrids are proof of a true and pure love, a love that has always been there, but that took time to reveal. However, that love overcame all obstacles. What once seemed impossible is now reality.
The three cubs walk while playing and Kion and Fuli walk behind them, watching them as they nuzzles each other with love. The lion and the cheetah are happier than ever. Their love has grown a lot since they were cubs. Now, they finally have their own family. They proved that there are no impossible loves and that the circle of life also has its deviations. None of them knows what the future holds. But they are sure of one thing: nothing and no one will destroy their love for each other.
