Rani started walking back from the Tundra. There were no animals near when Kion roared, so no one was hurt.

The sun was high in the sky as Rani walked into the tree, hoping Kion was alright. He hasn't been acting like himself. He was kinda acting like how Bunga explained when Kion's scar first started hurting.

Rani looked around, and saw Kion laying down on the rock. She hopped up beside him, but a small trail of blood came from his head.

Rani gasped, "Kion!" She shook him, trying to get him awake, but Kion was unresponsive.

"Makini!" Rani yelled. Makini quickly walked in, "Yes your majesty?"

"Something happened to Kion!"

Makini quickly ran to Kion, "Seems to me like he passed out and hit his head on the rock. He'll be fine, though. I just need to have Nirmala heal his head," Makini walked out.

Rani laid her head on Kion's shoulder, "You'll be alright."

Makini walked in with an exhausted Nirmala.

Nirmala hopped onto the rock and touched her paw to a root on the tree, and her other paw on Kion's head.

Kion groaned and opened his eyes, "Rani?"

Rani was quickly at his side, "I'm here." Kion purred, "I uh...I think I hurt myself." Rani chuckled, "Don't do it again?"

Kion sighed.

"You like hurting yourself?" Rani raised an eyebrow.

"No its just...nevermind," Kion looked away. Nirmala felt uncomfortable being in front of them, so she left.

"Kion, what's going on?" Rani asked.

"I told you, it's nothing."

Rani pinned Kion on his back and stood over him, "That's not an answer."

"Rani please."

Rani scowled at him and Kion folded his ears down.

"Fine, if you won't tell me, then you can't sleep next to me tonight," Rani walked out of the tree. Kion watched her leave and mumbled to himself, "I have got to get better at this. Especially because I want her to be my mate. And she won't be if I keep hiding stuff from her." He sighed, "But I can't tell her about this."

Kion slumped down onto the rock, "Lionesses make everything more confusing."

Two male lions stood outside the Tree Of Life territory. Their names are Zaire and Zym.
