"There's lots of bones" Ghost said. "And lots of hyenas" Darkness said.

"And don't forget scar!" Stone laughed wickedly as he watched the young ones trail off into the darkening badlands.

"You mean daddy?" Ghost asked. "He says living in the badlands teaches you how to survive" Darkness said.

Stone rolled his eyes, ghost and darkness could be so thick sometimes. They shouldn't have told komu who their father was. He'd have to scold them later for it.

"We have to get home now, anyway" Ghost said. "Would you like to come over?" Darkness asked.

"sure," komu said.

"Great! Follow us!" Ghost and Darkness led Komu and Stone into the badlands.

Komu followed and looked around the badlands in amazement.

Ghost and Darkness arrived at a cave. "Daddy! We're home!" They shouted in unison. Scar emerged from the cave. "How many times have I told you two not to leave the badlands?" He looked over at Komu. "Who are you?"

"my name is komu. Ghost and darkness said it was ok for me to come and play," komu said.

"Please daddy?" Ghost begged. "He's really fun to play with" Darkness said. Scar looked over Komu with his usual face. "Why have I not seen you around here before?"

"cause i'm from the pride lands," he said.

Nala looked around for Komu. She walked over to Sarabi. "Sarabi have you seen Komu," she asked. "no i only saw him run out of the cave then i didnt see where he went," she said.

Scar sniffed Komu. He had a familar scent. "Komu, what is your mother's name?"

"Nala," Komu said.

A smile came over Scar's face. "Of course you may stay and play" "Yay!" Ghost and Darkness shouted. They both tackled Komu.

Komu laughed when they tackled him. Komu playfully bit ghost's ear.

Darkness tugged on Komu's tail, and Ghost playfully smacked him. Scar sat amd waited for Nala to arrive.

Nala caught Komu's scent and saw that it went towards the bad lands. oh no she thought. She rna as fast as she could towards the badlands.

Darkness and Ghost playfully nipped Komu's ears.

Komu laughed again and playfully bit darkness's tail. He stopped when he could smell his mommy getting close. "uh oh i am gonna be in trouble," komu said.

Nalaslowed when she got to the edge of the pride lands where the badlands met. She slowly crossed and began looking for komu.

"Why, what's wrong?" Ghost asked.

"mommy said i wasnt suposed to leave the rock," he said. "i better go," komu said and ran forward towards the smell of her mom. She foudn her within seconds. Nala was relieved to find komu. "komu i told you not to leave pride rock come on lets get out of here," she said picking him up with her teeth and letting him clomb on her back. She began leaving.

"Don't leave!" Ghost and Darkness said in unison. They ran up and wrapped themselves around Nala's legs.

"sorry you two but Komu has to go you two," she siad getting them off her legs and ran out of the badlands. When they got home, she was having a talk with Komu.

Scar approached Ghost and Darkness. "Don't worry my sons, you get to play with Komu again, very soon" He said with a sinister smile.
