This is the second chapter to Caldafox's Lion King/Guard fanfic "Unexpected Love". The text is copied from elsewhere.
== Plot ==
The week passed by slowly, yet quickly. Kopa was introduced to all the former Outsider lionesses, given an explanation about Zira's plot, and was soon accepted warmly by everyone. Kiara spent a lot of time getting to know her older brother and was thrilled to have him around. Kovu also got used to him, and Simba and Nala's happiness was evident every day.
One day, the Guard was hanging out in their cave. "So, what do you girls think about this "Kopa" lion?" asked Tazama, who was laying on the ground. 
"Well, he really is a friendly fella," said Imara, retracting her claws over and over.
With a dreamy sigh, Kasi said, "He sure is handsome," as she laid her front paws on a large rock. 
"What do you think, Vitani?" asked Shabaha, turning towards her friend.
Vitani hadn't said anything the whole time the group was hanging out. "He's alright, I guess." Vitani answered, lost in thoughts.
"You guess!?" Kasi exclaimed, perking up. Vitani gave her a small frown. 
"Well, I'm just not used to having a new male lion around, that's all." she said. "Especially such a friendly one." 
With a nod, Imara replied, "I see your point, Vitani. None of us have had such a friendly, well, 'friend' in a while."
Earlier that day, Vitani's Guard had been showing Kopa around the Eastern border. 
"Thanks for showing me around again," Kopa said. "Not a problem," Kasi said, with a smile. 
"By the way," Shabaha sort of butted in, "Did you ever mention the names of the leopards who attacked you and Asante?"
Shocked, Kopa answered, "No, why?", uncomfortable to bring up the subject again. "One of them was purple colored, and the others were really pale." 
With a nod from the whole Guard, Vitani explained, "That would be Makucha and his cronies. Chuluun was the purple one you saw; she's a snow leopard. Kion's Lion Guard dealt with them several times. Chuluun joined their group when Kion and his Guard went to the Tree of Life."
"Thanks for the explanation, Vitani." Kopa said, a little less tense. "You - you haven't seen them around here, have you?" 
Kasi laughed. "Nope. Kion blasted them to who knows where." "
I see," Kopa said. With that, Kopa headed back and bid farewell to the Guard.
After Kopa was out of sight, Shabaha said, "Gee, Vitani, when did you get so smart?" 
"What do you mean?" Vitani asked, her ears back in annoyance. "I was just answering his question." 
"Yeah, but, you kinda told him a LOT of stuff about those guys," Tazama added. "I just wanted him to be informed, that's all." Vitani replied. "Who wants a nervous lion running around the Pride Lands?" 
The lionesses laughed. "You still don't trust him, do you?" Imara asked, being considerate. Vitani looked at the ground. "I don't really know, OK?" she said. "Let's just go back to the Lair." Although they were a little shocked, Vitani's Guard didn't say anything in response.
After discussing a few things, the group dismissed for the day. The five lionesses all scattered, except for Imara and Vitani. The lion pride was lounging in some shade. Kopa walked through the group, causing Tiifu and Zuri to stare at him admiringly and giggle. The two cubhood friends of Kiara obviously had crushes on Kopa. He just smiled and nodded to them, causing them to blush and laugh some more.
"Look who's coming over," Imara said. Kopa walked up to the two lionesses.
"Hello, Imara and Vitani." he said, friendly. "How were your patrols earlier?" Imara answered, with a smile, "Everything was normal. Just a small skermish between two jackals."
Kopa lay down in the shade, Vitani eyeing him. "That's good," Kopa said, relaxing in the shade. "--well, not about the jackals, I suppose."
Imara did a small laugh. "We understand. Right, Vitani?"
Kopa smiled at the fiercest member of the Guard. Vitani just said, "Right..." quietly, and lay her head down on her front paws. Kopa and Imara did some small talk for a wee bit.
The lions in the pride soon went their own ways after about an hour of lounging around. Vitani went off by herself while the rest of her Guard hung around, chattering and laughing under a tree. As Vitani turned to leave, she heard someone behind her say, "Wait up, Vitani!" It was Kopa calling her!
