The Lion Guard: A Trustworthy Brotherhood

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands. 
The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains. 
“How are Timon and Pumbaa?” Beshte asked.
“They’re fine.” Bunga 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." Fuli replied. 
Kion cleared his throat.
“I have to go. Kovu wants to see me.” he said.
Fuli’s expression softened.
“Have a good time.” she said warmly.
She moved closer to Kion, rubbing her muzzle against his cheek. Kion nuzzled Fuli affectionately, before bounding off towards Pride Rock.
When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Kovu settled down outside the den.
Kion padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kovu’s cheek.
“Hi, Kovu.” Kion said.
Kovu’s expression softened.
“Hi, Kion.” Kovu said warmly.
Kion crawled into Kovu’s paws, and nestled against him. Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.
“Did you have a good patrol?” Kovu asked.
Kion nodded.
“I want to go on a hunt with you. We haven’t hunted together alone in a while.” he said.
Kovu ruffled Kion’s head tuft affectionately.
“Of course we can hunt together. Where do you want to go?” he said.
“Ukuni Woods.” Kion answered immediately.
“Come on then.” Kovu said brightly as they stood up.
As they made their way towards Ukuni Woods, Kion bounded ahead of Kovu excitedly.
“This’ll be great! I can’t remember the last time the two of us went on a hunt alone.” he said.
Kovu chuckled, his expression softening as he noticed Kion’s enthusiasm.
“Yes, it has been a while.” he agreed.
When they reached Ukuni Woods, Kovu turned to Kion expectedly.
“Which animal do you want to hunt?” he asked.
“We could try hunting grass rats. Mom reported a colony settling here a few sunrises ago.” Kion replied.
“Kiara mentioned that too.” Kovu said.
Suddenly, Kion’s ears perked up, his nostrils flaring as he caught a scent. Watching him, Kovu felt a surge of pride as Kion dropped into a hunter’s crouch, moving silently towards a clump of ferns at the base of a large acacia tree. Kovu joined him, the two brothers slowly approaching the tree. They shared a glance, and Kovu nodded, encouraging Kion to make the next move. Kion unsheathed his claws, softly digging them into the earth underneath his paws; he breathed deeply, catching the stronger scent of the grass rats. His eyes narrowed, Kion leapt forward, concentrating on his target. Startled, the grass rat attempted to shriek a warning to the others, only to be swiftly cut off by Kion’s killing bite. 
“Excellent, Kion.” Kovu praised, his eyes shining with pride and affection as Kion came over to him, still holding the grass rat.
“Thanks, Kovu. Do you want to catch one now?” Kion replied, his voice muffled by the fur in his mouth.
Kovu nodded, unsheathing his claws to feel the earth beneath them; he narrowed his eyes, focusing on the strong scent of the rats. Kovu leapt forward swiftly, catching a grass rat in his jaws and killing it instantly.
“Wow! That was great, Kovu.” Kion said admiringly.
“Thanks, Kion. You ready to head home now?” Kovu responded.
“Yeah. I want to give my prey to Mom.” Kion said.
“That’s a great idea.” Kovu said approvingly.
He and Kion began to head towards Pride Rock, the grass rats dangling from their jaws.
When they arrived, they saw Simba, Nala, and Kiara settled down outside the den.
Nala’s expression brightened as she caught sight of them.
“Look what you’ve caught!” she said brightly as Kion bounded up, setting the grass rat down in front of her.
“Well done, son.” Simba praised warmly.
“Thanks, Dad.” Kion replied.
Nala reached over, pulling Kion into her paws and ruffling his head tuft.
“Did you catch this for me, my darling?” she asked, an affectionate look in her eyes as she gazed at her son.
Kion nodded.
“I know how much you like them.” he said.
“Thank you, sweetheart.” Nala replied, bending her head to nuzzle his cheek.
Kovu came up, setting his prey down in front of Kiara.
“Thank you, my love.” Kiara said, her eyes shining with love as she looked up at him. Kovu bent his head to nuzzle her cheek.
Kion came over to them, pressing himself against Kovu’s foreleg.
“Thanks for hunting with me, Kovu.” he said.
“You’re welcome, Kion.” Kovu said fondly.
He settled down beside Kiara, Kion immediately crawling into his paws.
“I love you, Kovu.” Kion said.
“I love you too.” Kovu replied.
