Hey Guys! I was inspired to do an Origin story for Tomoe. This is a small piece from one of my books I have on another site. In the book it didn't go into detail at all..So I decided to detail it more and write this! I'll make it longer if the story presents itself.. ( Ha, I'm kidding! I'll write even if you don't like it! HAHAH! )
"WAH!" A women with beautiful flowing blond hair screamed as her stomach contracted. She grasped her extended stomach as she laid down on a bed of leaves. Her husband, A man with black hair stared down at her. His fangs bared in fear. The women screamed again; Her Breath coming out in gasp.
Her claws dug in to the dirt as she went into labor. Her husband held her hand; Panic riddling his features. His wolf tail flattening. The Woman wailed, Sweat pouring off of her. It was her first child. Her first born. The one who she would care for; The one that her mate would make his heir. She screamed again; Tears running down her cheeks. Even for a yokai she could not understand this pain. It took a lot to hurt her; but this was not pain... This was a punishment from the gods...It HAD to be!
"Hold on Elisa!" Her husband screamed. She sent him a glare; her purple eyes threathening him to say that again. She had always held on and she wasn't going to let labor get in her way! Even thought it hurt like no ones busyness.
She screamed again; pushing with all her might. The pain made her heart flutter. Suddenly, all the screams and the terrified gasp was filled with a high pitched cry. Screaming and little growls came out of the child that she had just produced. The woman flopped her head back on the ground and breathed out as the pressure eased. The crying kept coming out, Proving that the child had a set of lungs. The sound was...Beautiful. She felt a smile tug at her lips. She had fought hard..And now she had won. She had a child that she would protect; and would raise to the best of her abilities, And her husband would stand by her. Or so she thought...
Her husband held the infant. His eyes glassed over. He bit his lip and glared down at the child in his hands. Violet eyes stared at him; but he didn't see A wolves body. No, What he saw disgusted him. The child had his mother's claws and maybe even her soft hair...But this child was not a wolf. This childs hair was white as the snow; not black. The babe had delicate fox features. Nothing compared to what a wolf Yokai would have. Which meant only one thing... This wasn't his baby.
"Elisa..." His voice came out in a choking manner.
The woman looked at him; Her eyes brimming with innocence, " Yes Dear?"
"Who's child is this?" He spat it out. The air grew quiet and it felt like stabbing in his chest.
Elisa cocked her head to the side in confusion, " What do you mean?"
"This child..." He ground his teeth and held up the infant, " This Thing is a KITSUNE!"
The woman went pale and her heart beat slowed. It couldn't be. That child had to be her husbands, Unless...
Her one night stand messed her up. Her one-night stand with a white haired Kitsune...Her affair was now in the form of a baby.
Elisa swallowed but winced at her dry mouth. She was to weak to respond.
"WHO'S IS IT!?"
She looked at him with tears in her eyes, " I...I D-Don't know. It was a mistake..."
He looked at her; Hurt flashing through his eyes. Then he wrapped the kid carefully and gave it to its mother, " Its a boy."
His words were bitter and he turned around; heading for the path.
"W-where are you going!?" She screamed.
"I will not be subject to looking at that thing every day. Raise it. You are nothing to me Elisa. Not anymore..." His eyes showed hurt; frustration and malice. He glared at the child evilly, " If I stay I might just kill that pathetic thing!"
He turned on his heel and sped off; leaving the weak, nursing mother behind. The woman bit her lip and looked down at her child. He wasn't her husbands... but he was still so very, Beautiful.
She gently stroked the kitsune's hair. It was baby soft and the child gurgled slightly. His eyes were like hers, Soft; but they held an innocence she wished she still had. This child...Had just made her loose her husband. She just lost her best friend because of this babe, and yet? She loved it. She held it close to her cheek and listened to its breathing. The baby's tail flicked and his eyes brimmed with tears. He was so Precious..
"What should I name you? You are the only one with me now. We'll be buddies! How's that sound?"
The baby gave her a little grunt and she nearly laughed at its pouted glare. She laughed because she did it all the time. This child had her features!
She stroked his little ears. Elisa smiled. That was something she adored about this Kitsune's real father. His ears were so soft and they twitched about all the time.
"I think..." She paused and tilted her head, " You shall be called Tomoe!"
The baby blinked and nuzzled his head to his mother's neck. His breathing fascinated Elisa; This child grew inside her...He was part of her.
"Yes...You will be called Tomoe. My little kitsune." She smiled.
Hoped you enjoyed the first part of the Origin Story! XD
