This was the third time Kovu had suddenly turned her back on her like this. The third time he was just going to leave. It was starting to get a bit frustrating. Or, well, more like a lot frustrating.
"Kovu...!"
No. No, he wasn't getting away from her!
Moving into action, Kiara quickly leaped after him, grabbing his tail in her mouth and digging her hind legs into the ground.

"I was supposed to follow in Scar's pawprints. In a killer's pawprints. My whole life, that was all anyone ever told me. That was everything I had. Why do you want me around?" His voice was soft, and it started to crack. He couldn't understand. He really couldn't understand. He felt like somehow, he had done what Scar did, like he was the one responsible for it.

It also hurt that he'd just tried to walk away from her, and that he didn't understand now. Didn't he know? Didn't he realize?
After a quiet moment, she whimpered softly and gave his tail a soft tug, to, hopefully, make him look back up at her. Releasing his tail a second later, he'd find a hurt gaze upon him, but something else was in her eyes too.
Her reason was as simple as her answer was.
"Because I love you."

"Kiara, I..." He couldn't finish that sentence. He didn't know how to. He didn't even know what he wanted to say to her. The look on his face said nothing but how confused and lost he was, and here was Kiara, who had just said three words to him that no one ever had before ( ... )

It had been the first time she'd said it allowed and it was the first time he had too. Kiara had known he felt this way. She was certain of it. She'd even told her father that he loved her when he had banished Kovu. Words just hadn't been needed, but still, hearing them now was amazing. She really hadn't expected him to say it back.
"Oh, Kovu," Kiara murmured, nuzzling him back gently, before resting her head against his. Despite the emotional moment, happiness quickly spread through her.
