Hi guys, I hope you will like this fanfic. I was recently watching the Wolf Children and I loved it. It's an awesome movie, but I don't know about you guys, but I kinda felt there should be more to the ending. So I got an idea to write this fanfic. I get to use my most favorite mythical creatures and a great movie.
But enough about this nonsense. We have a story to read. Let's GO!

Storm. Thunder. Lightings. Wind. That fateful night was full of it. It was night that changed lives of several people forever.
Hana, mother, who was now all alone in her house, was placing cups, pots and bowls below streaming water from the roof. She was just standing back up form placing another pot "Looks like wind took some roof tiles."
After placing that pot, it seemed she covered all leaks and decided to sit down for a minute. She had some time before all those cups and pots get full. However, in the middle of those lightings, in the middle of all that noise, three bashes on front door made her stop in her tracks.
"Hello!?" Hana yelled towards the door. No reply.
Thinking it was maybe some neighbor caught by surprise in that storm came to her seeking shelter, she ran there and opened. Sudden strike of wind carrying sharp drops of water made her shield her eyes. Water was hitting her bare skin with so much force it hurt. And yet… there was nobody.
No one was standing there, no one to knock on door. "Was I imagining things?" no… there was something after all.
A single sharp sound made her tool down on the ground. There, in a pretty little basket, covered by blankets, was wiggling little baby. Hana, still having her motherly instincts, quickly grabbed the basket with baby and went inside. She knew a baby must not be on such a rain. Shutting down the door behind her, she quickly glimpsed outside to see anyone, who could have placed that baby before her door. Nobody… just nobody.
She rushed to her bedroom and quickly grabbed some warm and dry blanket. This all happened so fast and automatically she didn't even have time to think straight. Only after she grabbed the tiny baby and wrapped her into that dry blanket, she finally realized what she was doing.
She finally properly realized the baby before her was a girl and that she was crying. A baby that couldn't have more than 7 or 8 months. She had beautiful bright red hair, each eye was different. Left was golden, just as grain just before harvest. Right eye was blue just as sky high above. Her skin was pale as if having color of all those lightings outside. She was just beautiful.
Hana couldn't help but smile at the little treasure before her, but there was still one thing that was troubling. Who could've leave such a nice little girl at her doorstep? Who could have abandoned her like that?
She didn't even have words for what was happening. And luckily for her, there was an explanation just waiting for her in the basket. There, in the middle of those wet blankets, just under where baby lied, was piece of paper.
Hana carefully grabbed it and observing it, she read loudly "Hana, I am very sorry for this, but you are the only one I can trust with this. I know you are mother of that powerful wolf on the mountain." That sentence made Hana jump a little, but calmed down as she continued reading "Do not worry, your secret is safe. I am begging you to take care of my greatest treasure, my niece, Ryuko. Please, you are the only one who can help her, she is the last of her kind, last of dragons, please, take care of her."
Hana, clearly in shock, just kept on staring on that piece of paper in her hands and couldn't believe her eyes. Not just that somebody knew about her and her children, she also begged her to raise a dragon baby.
"A dragon?" Hana said to herself, letting her sight drift to the baby girl lying on her bed, wrapped in blankets "I thought those were just in myths. Then again, so are supposed to be werewolves."
Hana carefully picked the baby in her arms and looked deeply into her tiny eyes "So you are Ryuko, it's nice to meet you."
Baby stopped crying and was observing new person she didn't know. After few moments, a smile appeared on her petite lips and then even a brief laugh. Hana's heart melted. But could she take care of a baby like that? Could she just take this little dragon as her own? Whoever left her there was hoping to give her a better life. Life with a human who knew about how to handle wolf children. But a dragon?
Of course Hana couldn't just throw her away and she couldn't put her into an orphanage either. She must not let anyone know about these creatures. Humanity wouldn't accept them.
Few days day
Lone wolf was walking through the woods, watching the destruction last few nights' thunderstorm caused. Many trees fell, but not too many. Only few animals were injured, almost none died. Considering how powerful the thunder was, it was a miracle.
Wolf of course was nobody else than Ame, new lord of this mountain. As he was walking down, along stream of river, he heard very familiar voice. His mother, Hana, was laughing and sounded very happy. Curious why she was so happy, Ame decided to take a look at his former home.
Slowly climbing down the mountain side, Ame heard his mother's laughs more and more audible. Then he finally saw it again. He was still standing in the woods and was watching his mom working on the terrace that seemed to take few hits. She was just placing there new plank before she grabbed a nail and hammer.
Wolf didn't see anything out of the ordinary, any reason why his mom should be laughing like that. Of course he was happy she was laughing, but it just seemed so odd. At least until he saw it.
A baby girl was sitting just before Hana, tiny plastic hammer in hand, hitting the floor of terrace. Hana looked back at her and laughing again "Are you helping me? Are you a good helper?"
Baby laughed too and was waving her arms happily.
Ame tilted his head right, trying to figure out who this baby was. Could his mom have another baby? No, she was loyal to his father. Although it was possible. But he would know if she was pregnant. He was checking her every few days and there weren't even indications of her being pregnant. Could he just not notice?
There was only one way to know for certain. He stepped out of woods and slowly headed towards them. He didn't want to meet with his mom, it might break her again. After he left, she was broken and it took a long time for her to accept it. He didn't want to make it hard for her, but curiosity was just too big.
Ame slowly crept forward, and hidden behind wall, he waited for good opportunity. Luckily for him, he didn't have to wait too long. Hana reached into a tiny plastic box and then said "Oh… it seems I ran out of nails." She smiled at Ryuko "Now be a good girl. Mommy will come back in a second."
She stopped in her tracks as she realized she just said 'mommy'. She guessed it meant she was accepting that baby as her own. After that she ran off to get more nails from the house.
That was Ame's chance. He quickly ran up to baby. Ryuko noticed the big wolf staring at her from below the terrace. Ame jumped half way up the terrace and observed the baby. His rear feet were still on ground, while his front legs were leaning against the construction.
At first, Ryuko wasn't sure what to make out of it. She has never seen a dog, let alone wolf. She leaned forward and went on all four. Slowly and full of childish curiosity, she crawled up to the big creature before her. As she was close enough, she reached for the wolf and touched its head. She laughed.
Ame was sniffing her and immediately knew this baby was not his real sibling, but maybe adopted. But when? When did his mother adopt this child? And why?
Girl was not afraid of the big strong wolf. She felt safe, just like any baby. Ryuko, in her baby-ish innocence, grabbed wolf's hair and slightly pulled. Of course it hurt Ame, but he knew that babies cannot be helped, so he just carefully pushed her hand down with his right paw.
Ryuko loved it. She was laughing very loudly and just kept on reaching for wolf's hair. Ame of course just kept on putting her hand down. He soon realized he was actually playing with her. She could do it all day and would still be laughing.
He retreated his head backwards so she wouldn't reach him. That however only made her reach further. He kept on retreating and realized too late how far she was already reaching. Her tiny hand suddenly started falling, then her head, her body and finally her legs. Little Ryuko was falling. Of course she, as a baby, didn't know how far she can reach before falling down.
At that moment, Ame finally knew what he's done. He led that little girl to fall down. Luckily, a pair of hands appeared out of nowhere and caught falling Ryuko. It was Hana, she jumped down on the floor and quickly caught her adoptive daughter. Ame yelped and quickly withdrew.
"That was close." Hana exhaled as she slowly pulled Ryuko back up and immediately hugged her. Ryuko of course was startled and started crying "Come on, mommy is here. Don't be afraid."
Her sight than landed on big wolf standing just before two of them, watching them with shame in his eyes, but also a big curiosity. After Hana herself calmed down, she stepped down from the terrace and kneeled down before the big wolf "Ame, it's been some time."
Ame walked up to his mom and just let their cheeks meet. That was more than enough to say 'I missed you too.'
Hana then carefully sat Ryuko on her lap, face to face with Ame and said "Ame, this is your little sister, Ryuko, this is your big brother."
Ame still had questions, but for now he just slowly approached the baby and started sniffing around her. Then, as a playful gesture, he licked her cheek. Ryuko wasn't sure, was this big wolf a scary creature, or a friendly one. Was that lick playful, or was it a threat. Then, hearing her new mom's giggles, she laughed too.
That is how it all started. How the story of a new daughter began. Sister of a two wolfs, daughter of human and yet dragon. Path before her is not for weak, but she's not alone.
And that, my friends, how Last Dragon Daughter came to be.
