Chapter 9; Pup?
_______________________________________________________
"Riiiight, and why exactly did you come
looking for Sesshoumaru? Last time I checked you two
were mortal enemies," said the male wolf.
"Well, two reasons really," said
Inuyasha smoothly, "one, I haven't seen him in
four-hundred years, and I was starting to miss him-"
But he was cut short cause at these
words the male wolf let out a howl of laughter.
"And two," shouted Inuyasha more
loudly than the male wolf, "I found his pup."
At these words the whole cave fell
silent, including the male wolf.
-My... my pup, I thought he was... was
dead- thought Sesshoumaru.
"You found what?" asked Kouga after
about five minutes.
"I found his pup."
"What pup are you talking about
mut-face? Sesshoumaru doesn't have a pup," stated the
male wolf.
"Oh yeah? Then whose this?" asked
Inuyasha as a young inu-hanyou steped in looking
slightly scared.
-That can't be my pup, he's too young-
thought Sesshoumaru, -yet...-
"He... he looks alot like Sesshouamru,
that's for sure," said the male wolf in a takin aback
voice.
He did, he had a cresant moon on his
forhead, a red stripe on eighter side of his face, a
kimono with the same patern as Sesshoumaru's but in
different colors, a breast plate, and the shoulder
armour, the only part of him that didn't resemble
Sesshoumaru at all were the dog ears, he looked very
young, and the fact that he didn't have a boa on his
right shoulder.
-He looks too young to be my pup, but
he looks like him, he looks almost exactly like the last
time I saw him, only slightly older, but not much.-
"Um, hello?" broke in the young pup,
"m- my name's Sesshokusen."
"Hello, Sesshokusen," said his
mistress jabing her sister hard in the ribs with her
elbow, "My name's Arai."
"Dozo yoroshiku, Arai."
"He's polite," said the male wolf in a
surprised voice, "Ok, that proves it, he's not
Sesshoumaru's pup."
"Umm, excuse me sir," interupted
Sesshokusen.
"Ahh, call me Kouga," said the male
wolf taken aback.
"Yes, Kouga-san, my mother has told me
many things about my father and one of the things she
told me is his name was Sesshoumaru."
"So, you are Sesshoumaru's pup
then?"
"Yes."
"Why were you seperated from him?"
"Well, that's a long story."
"We've got plenty of time," said the
male wolf sitting down on a rock.
"Well, almost 400 years ago, but not
quite, I was born-"
"400 years? You look like your 10."
"I'm part changling, which means I can
change at will, but no matter what I change into I still
have my stripes, cresant moon, and ears. But anyway,
almost 400 years, but not quite I was born, but Shi'an
and Pandora took my mother for dead and took her out to
the field. I can't remember what happened to me when
they took mother, I was much too young to remember
anything, but mother told me that she woke up in the
field and noticed I was not with her, so she sat up on
the rock beside her waiting for her strength to return
to her. She was sitting there for about half-an-hour
when Shi'an came out of the forest with me in his jaws,
cause appaerantly they disaproved of me being an inu.
Mother begged him to give me to her, and finally he
agreed, and told my mother to take me and go to a human
village and that he would stop by to check on us. Then
she heard him give a loud roar once he was like 15 feet
away from us, she figured it was out of fustration. As
soon as she had regained her strength she carried me to
a nearby human village."
-He... he must be my son, he knows my
name, and he knows the name of the wretched miko who
enslaved me, and the name of that blasted
cat-changling that hurt Liana.-
"And did Shi'an come to visit?"
"Ohh yes, quite often, it is he, as a
matter of fact, that helped me develope me morphing
abilities. I did not like him that much, but I needed to
learn how to use my morphing abilities, and I could not
stop him from coming even if I didn't need to learn my
morphing abilities."
"Why didn't you like Shi'an?"
"Two reasons, one he hurt my mother,
and two he was a neko-changling."
"Ohh, and inu and neko are oppisites,
so usually they don't get along, right?"
"That is correct," the little pup said
then started messing around with his breast-plate. He
pulled out a small piece of a fluffy scarf, "I also have
this, this is a part of my father's boa, he gave it to
Mother before she gave birth."
"Sesshoumaru, come on over here," it
was his mistress who was still standing by Sesshokusen.
"Yes, Arai," he stood up and walked
over to his mistress and his pup.
"Father?" asked Sesshokusen.
"Yes," replied Sesshoumaru.
The little pup ran up to Sesshoumaru
and hugged him, and he returned th embrace.
"Sesshokusen,"
"Yes, Arai-san?" asked Sesshokusen
pulling out of the hug.
"Are you hungry?"
"Ohh, yes, very much so."
"Then let's go home and get some food,
Kamet, Sesshoumaru, Sesshokusen and I will be taking our
leave now."
"And what about me?" asked Inuyasha
who was still stnading in the doorway.
"What about you?" snarled Kouga.
(to be concluded...)
