Author's Note: So, I've decided to rewrite some of my stories. The plan is to make them longer and more worth reading. I think I'll focus my efforts on Ginga, because the series needs more stories. I haven't read the manga, because I can't find a site where it's complete. But that doesn't matter, because this is fanfiction, and I know enough from the anime. I should let you all know that most of the pairings in the story will be M/M pairings, and these will be pairings that no other story seems to have. It'll involve crossovers with other Ginga stories, but I won't crossover this with any other story without getting the author's permission.

Summary: After a long time, Sniper and Gin are finally returning to Ohu. But the journey ahead of them is full of surprises, which will involve adventure, romance, humor, as well as some insanity. As they slowly reattune to their almighty power, they'll encounter foes, friends, and some of their omnipotent brethren. It's a supernatural life, but they wouldn't have it any other way.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ginga or its characters. And some of the OCs that'll make an appearance in this story will be borrowed from other authors, especially in some of the crossovers.


It was a quiet night as the Doberman stared forward at the water in front of him. Nothing but seemingly endless water as the freighter made its way through the ocean. The canine was one of the few people who were still awake at what was most likely past midnight, while most of the ship's crew had gone to sleep hours ago. But staying up so late never bothered him before, and why would it? After all, immortals don't require sleep, even though there are times where they can still feel tired, whether literally, or mentally.

The latter is how the Doberman felt, after everything that had happened to him and his family in the past five years. All of them had to deal with so much insanity throughout the years after he had been reunited with his mate. Some times it was normal, and other times it was intense. They've made many friends, though, who all helped them out as best as they could. Sniper and Gin were both very grateful for it, no matter how little it was. Not everyone would even know what to do if they met omnipotent beings who haven't tapped into their full power.

For five years, Sniper's family have been in America, on the run from Nikita. At first, Sniper and Gin didn't understand why Nikita was after them in the first place. But Sniper knew that even when the Russian's actions didn't seem to make sense, there was always a reason behind it. And it soon became apparent to them all that Nikita's plan, which they didn't have much knowledge of, involved keeping them away from Japan.

The realization had worried both Sniper and Gin, because there was no telling what Nikita could manage to do to Japan while chasing them at the same time. It was unlikely that he could wreak havoc himself and chase them away at the same time, even with his supernatural speed, but then again, Nikita is also supernaturally charismatic, and he could've recruited others to do his bidding. And they knew they had to get back to Japan; if only getting pass Nikita were that simple.

The Wolf was still a very powerful immortal, known for being one of the most powerful supernatural beings in all of the omniverse, all of totality and its existences. His immeasurable level of supernatural physical and mental capabilities alone made him nearly impossible for Sniper and Gin to get past him. His atomic regeneration made him difficult to kill, but his Indomitable Will made him nearly impossible to stop. It's how he earned his title, "The Undefeatable".

But then came the day that Sniper decided to take some drastic measures. There's an ability that any supernatural being with a soul has, although only certain beings could use it. And it came with a cost. Only beings with Erasure Immunity can survive this. This is ability is called "Soulnova", where an individual detonates their soul. As an Absolute Immortal, Sniper's Infinity Soul was not only erasure immune, but it could also sustain an infinite amount of damage. Either way, it worked.

Of course, Nikita had Erasure Immunity, but that only kept his soul from being completely destroyed, while the same could not be said for his body. Sniper, on the other hand, came out fairly intact. At first, at least.

After finally getting past Nikita, they had gotten into some accidents. The right side of his face, including his right eye, had been severely burned. His hind legs were also crushed, and there were also the multiple scars across his body. While his power cannot be lost, it can be suppressed, especially when using it while his soul is in a damaged state puts strain on it. He heals faster than what's normal for a mortal canine, with some limited regenerative abilities, but it wasn't enough to fully reverse the damage. That would most likely take weeks or months, at least until his soul corrected everything.

He'd ended up at a vet where they placed a metal plate over the burns on his face, and placed more metal over his hind legs, with the addition of giving him a cart so he could walk. He could walk on his own, of course, but he figured there was no point in telling the vets just what he was, and he removed the cart the first chance he got.

Now, here he was, lying on a container, though not alone. Laying next to him was Gin, who didn't hide the fact that he was awake as he kept his eyes opened, staring at the ocean as he nuzzled Sniper.

"Are you alright, love?" The six year old Akita asked.

Sniper smiled and nodded as he returned the nuzzle. "I'm alright, Gin. I'm just...thinking."

Gin smiled, knowing what his mate was thinking. "I know. I can hardly believe it, too. After five long years, we're finally on our way back to Japan. I know the boys will love Ohu."

"Let's hope there's still an Ohu to go to." Sniper said worriedly. "I know Nikita wouldn't chase us away for no reason."

Gin nodded as he became serious. "Our friends are strong, so they must've held out."

"Possibly." Sniper agreed. "Still, we need to get there. Even if Nikita did nothing to Ohu, he was planing something in Japan. I just can't figure out what."

"He must have soldiers of his own somewhere in Japan." Gin suggested. "That would explain why he kept us away, so that we wouldn't interfere with whatever his soldiers are doing."

Sniper nodded. "I can picture that. That seems to be the most likely scenario. What could he have done besides that?"

Gin sighed, deciding that maybe they should change the subject as he looked at the metal plate on his mate's face. "You can take it off."

The Doberman hesitated, but he grabbed the plate and pulled it off, revealing his severely burnt face. Gin leaned over and licked at it lovingly before nuzzling Sniper once more.

"You know that flesh wound doesn't bother me. I can see beauty in it."

Sniper smiled more confidently and kissed Gin's forehead before licking the three scar-like markings. "Yours are better."

Gin rolled his eyes, expecting no less flattery from his mate. "You try too hard. You know they say that flattery will get you nowhere?"

Sniper grinned. "In some circumstances, yes. But there are exceptions. We're proof, since we're omnipotent, yet there are things we ourselves cannot do. Ultimately, flattery can get you everywhere," the Doberman rolled Gin onto his back before slowly licking at his neck, causing the Akita to moan softly. "Especially in this case."

Gin pushed Sniper's muzzle away as he chuckled. "Sniper, you dirty bastard. You know our sons are only a few feet away. And if that's not enough, I think the captain can see us from here."

Sniper smirked. "That last part is unlikely. As for our sons, they're still asleep, and we can always move to a more quiet spot. Besides, it's been awhile. About eight months since I got you pregnant with Weed."

"Touche." Gin had to admit that it was true. The last time he and Sniper had sex was a long time ago, and even though it wasn't the longest the two of them had gone without sex, it's still been a long time. "But we should let Lector know."

Sniper nodded, and walked over to their eldest son, Lector, and nudged him awake. "Lector, your mother and I are going to the bow. Keep an eye on your brothers."

"Will do, Dad." Lector replied as he looked down at his two younger brothers, both he was holding protectively in his arms. Lector was five years old, looking a lot like Sniper. Then there was Thunder, who was two years old and also looked like their father, only his ears were floppy, and while he had brown fur in the same places as Sniper and Lector, his brown fur was a lighter shade. And then there was the youngest, Weed, who was six months old, and looked exactly like his mother, Gin, only, he didn't have the same scar-like markings on his forehead.

"Well, let's go, Commander Handsome." Gin said as he leapt of the container and began walking towards the bow.

Sniper licked his fangs. "On my way, Emperor Sexy."

Gin looked over his shoulder just as Sniper jumped off the container. "Emperor Sexy?"

"When you think about it, it suits you. You're sexy, and emperors are grand leaders, just like how you're the Ohu Leader."

"I don't think they'll give me back that position." Once they reached the bow, Gin leaned his back onto one of the containers as he looked into his mate's eyes. "Not that I care. I still have you and the boys."

"And my cock." Sniper added as he pressed his already hard erection against Gin's belly fur, groaning softly as he felt himself being caressed by the soft and warm fur.

Gin grinned as he wrapped a paw around the knot, and he reached under with his other paw to grab a hold of Sniper's massive testicles, giving them a gentle squeeze. "How could I forget? It's been in me many times, of course."

"Not in a while. Now that we're going home, we can start catching up on all the times we could've had sex." Sniper said handsomely as always.

Gin laughed. "You're so horny, you know that?"

Sniper pressed his cock against the Akita's own hard member, which had grown to an impressive size in the past few years. He smirked as he heard Gin moan at the pleasurable sensation. "Says the guy who's just as horny as me. Maybe even more so."

Gin blushed. "Well, in my defense, I was thinking of switching things up for a change."

Sniper raised a brow, completely interested. "Oh? And what's your idea?"

"Simple. I dominate you."

At that, the Doberman's eyes widened as he began blushing. "Gin, you know I haven't had anyone inside me since Nikita was my mate. I'm not sure my ass can handle it after so long."

"Don't worry." Gin said in a lustful, yet soothing tone. "I'll be gentle."

"You're not gonna let us continue unless I let you fuck me, are you?"

Gin grinned. "What can I say? You enjoy it so much whenever I'm riding your dick. Besides, when two males are in a relationship, it's only fair. And let's not forget, we're as old as eternity. There's no way I haven't fucked you before in a past life or something like that."

Sniper sighed as he blushed a brighter red. "Too true. Alright, but let me start us off at least."

Gin grabbed his cock by the knot and pointed the tip up at his mate. "I'm waiting."

Sniper got onto all fours and pressed his nose against the knot, inhaling Gin's musk before giving it a lick. He started at the base, and slowly made his way up to the tip. Gin let out a soft moan as he placed his paw on Sniper's head, keeping him there as the Doberman continued. With one paw, he grabbed the knot and began licking just the tip while fondling Gin's balls with his other paw. The ten inch penis began leaking pre-cum, which Sniper would lick away before a drop could fall. It had a sweet taste, though not as salty as the actual cum.

Gin was moaning softly as Sniper took his time with his cock, purposely teasing the Akita and making sure that this moment lasted. Sniper always enjoyed doing this to Gin, since this would usually increase the younger dog's desire to cum, and Sniper was going to make him wait until he could finally have an orgasm.

"You just love doing that, don't you?" He asked, trying to hold back his sounds of pleasure so that he could actually speak.

Sniper grinned, looking up at him while he used his paw to stroke the hard member, spreading the pre-cum and coating Gin's entire cock with it. "You're just so adorable when you moan. And you know how much I like making you wait until you can cum."

"I'm supposed to be dominating you. Not the other way AROUND!" Gin gasped as he felt Sniper's teeth pressing into his testicles, and he looked down to see that his balls were being sucked on by the Doberman. "And now you're playing with my balls? You know it'll make me cum sooner, right?"

Sniper took the two large orbs out of his muzzle for a moment. "Not if I stop at the last second." Then he engulfed Gin's balls once more, sucking on them while biting into them at the same time. Gin winced slightly as he felt Sniper's unnaturally sharp teeth actually tear into his sack, but he wasn't worried. It wasn't the first time his mate got rough on testicles. There have been times where Sniper would penetrate the flesh until his teeth went through the scrotum and touched the actual testicles. Although, Gin actually enjoyed the feeling of his mate's teeth literally up against his two balls, both of which that seemed to enjoy the sensation as well. Somehow, the tips of those teeth were able to caress the sensitive orbs within their sack without harming them.

"God, why do I love it when you mutilate my balls?" Gin asked, more to himself than his lover.

"You know I would never actually castrate you. My teeth's job is to protect them, not murder them." Sniper said as he bit down harder, using his teeth to gently squeeze them. "Besides, there's no denying that you and your balls love it."

"Yeah, all three of us do." Gin admitted, referring to himself and his balls. "I don't know why I love it when you tear into my sack, especially when you're literally doing just that."

Sniper shrugged. "Fetish?" He didn't think much of it as he continued sucking, licking away any blood that came out through the small wounds. Gin continued moaning as well while he looked towards the ocean. Even if tonight wasn't any different from any other night, it was still so beautiful, even blissful. Especially when he was getting his sucked on a full moon.

The sperm within the two testicles was moving around; Sniper could feel them filling up with more as they pressed against his teeth, getting ready for when Gin had his orgasm. Smirking as best as he could, he knew that these two balls would just swell up until it seemed like the pressure would make them explode one way or another. They've gotten there before, when Sniper had once given Gin a blowjob while squeezing down on his balls, making sure he couldn't cum for an entire twelve hours. It was basically sexual brutality, but Gin still loved him. Besides, the wait have given him one of his longest and most blissfully pleasurable orgasms in his life.

"You know what, Sniper? Since I'm dominating you, I say we should skip this." Gin grabbed Sniper by the shoulders and spun them around so that the Doberman's back was pressed against the container. "Besides, I want to save my seed for your hole."

Sniper's eyes widened as he felt dominated for the first time in years, but he obeyed and turned around. He placed his paws on the container to keep himself up as he waited for his mate to make a move. Behind him, Gin had a perfect view of Sniper's anus, which had not been touched since he was with Nikita, but that had been almost a lifetime ago. Now that perfect ass belonged to Gin, and the Akita licked his fangs at the thought of owning it. And he wasn't going to wait to have it.

"I'm sure as hell not gonna wait any longer to have you, so I'm just gonna take you now." Gin mounted him, using his forelegs to grip the Doberman's hips while placing the tip of his cock at his ass. He could fill the heat from it as it twitched with anticipation, wanting something inside it after so long. Sniper actually whimpered in need, and Gin licked his cheek lovingly. "But don't worry. I'll take good care of your ass."

Sniper whimpered once more. "Then what the hell are you waiting for? Just fuck me already!"

Gin was slightly surprised, as he could never picture his mate begging to be fucked, even though he knew that Nikita was the dominate one when he and Sniper were together all those years ago. But he quickly recovered from his shock and grinned. "Good bitch." And then, he pulled his hips backs before thrusting inside.

Sniper's eyes widened at the sudden intrusion in his rear, which brought him some pain as Gin didn't bother being gentle. Instead, the Akita was immediately thrusting in and out with brutal and intense force. But Sniper didn't mind. He loved it when someone was rough with him, especially when Nikita was the same. The Wolf was always rough, and most of the time, he and Sniper would do it raw, no lubrication of any kind. The feeling of Gin's large cock harshly thrusting in and out of his hole as it was forcefully stretched past it's limit actually brought back some of those memories. Those had been one of the greatest experiences of his life, and even though Gin was being so brutal to his ass, he could still feel the loving intentions.

"This actually brings back memories." Sniper said through a few moans and pants as his lover repeatedly slammed into his prostate with force greater than a jackhammer. Literally. "Of when Nikita used to do this. But I think you can do better."

That's what Gin intended to do, but like how Sniper wouldn't let him have an orgasm easily, he wasn't gonna give Sniper what he wanted so easily. "Beg."

Sniper moaned. "What?"

Gin grinned, showing off his teeth while the lust could be seen in his eyes. "Beg for it, and I'll give it to you."

Sniper whimpered. "Please, Gin. Fuck me. Fuck me harder!"

Gin simply shook his head. "You're gonna have to do better than that."

"Come on, Gin! Please! Fuck me! I'm begging you, please!"

Gin still wasn't satisfied. "I really think you could do better."

Sniper clenched his eyes shut, feeling no patience whatsoever as he began screaming. "Gin, please! Just fuck me already! Make me your bitch! Mark me as yours! Just fuck my ass already!"

Finally, Gin smirked as he began using all his strength and speed. "That's a good little bitch."

The force of the thrusting was something that could rupture a mortal internally, but Sniper wasn't a mortal. His ass could handle the abuse, especially when it loved it so much. The way it moved so fast, and the force of whenever it slammed into him and hit his prostate brought him nothing but pleasure. His own hard member was throbbing between his legs, leaking pre-cum beneath them while Gin's knot slammed against his ass with each thrust. The Akita's balls constantly smacked the Doberman's orbs with such intense force that it actually hurt, but it was the kind of pain that the two of them enjoyed.

"Oh, god. Gin, I don't think I'll last long." Sniper said.

Gin, however, merely licked his neck. "Don't worry about that. Just moan for me, my little bitch."

And Sniper did as he was told. To him, it felt amazing to be dominated again. And the order was easy to obey. After all, Gin had no trouble making the Doberman moan and whimper for probably everyone on the ship to hear. The Akita already knew which spot it was that made his lover moan for him.

To Gin, dominating Sniper was an incredible experience for me. Sniper sounded so adorable with all the moans and the occasional whimpers of pleasure he was making. He felt Sniper press against him, trying to get Gin to go deeper inside him.

Gin grunted lustfully as he grinned. "Are you ready, my bitch?"

Sniper whimpered. "Oh, Gin, just do it! Just knot me, please! Fill me with your pups!"

Gin licked his fangs. "If you say so." And he pulled onto Sniper's hips with all his strength, while into him at the same time. The Doberman's eyes widened as he gasped in blissful pleasure upon feeling Gin's thick knot enter him, locking them together. Unable to hold on any longer, he let out a howl of pleasure before he came onto the floor. Gin grunted loudly, clenching his eyes shut as he felt Sniper's anus tighten greatly onto his cock. Then he howled himself as he exploded within his mate, filling his insides completely.

Sniper panted as he felt the hot and abundant semen fill up his ass. He dug his claws into the container as he whimpered at the pleasurable feeling, while Gin nuzzled him from behind, licking his neck soothingly.

"I can see why Nikita loves your ass so much." The Akita whispered lustfully.

The Doberman blushed. "I don't recall us going a day without him dominating me. He was as horny as he was insane."

"I can't even picture him being horny. He's just too much of a psychopath." Gin commented. "What the hell did you see in him?"

"I saw his good side." Sniper sighed. "For a while, anyway. Then I saw how he was to mortals, and you can guess what happened after that."

Gin shrugged. "How do you feel, now that we're coming home?"

Sniper smirked, rolling himself around so that his back as against the container while he faced Gin. "I thought we were already home. Especially when I was with you."

Gin rolled his eyes. "You know what I meant."

Sniper sighed. "I don't know what to think. There's still Nikita and whatever his plan is. I'm dreading what we're gonna find."

"Well, whatever happens, at least we'll be together." Gin pointed out, leaning over lick Sniper's neck, causing the other to moan. "Right now, I just want to enjoy this moment, with you being my bitch after so long."

"You're still my bitch too, Gin." Sniper reminded.

The Akita smirked. "Not at the moment."

Sniper rolled his eyes. "Where's your humility?"

"Where's your masculinity?" Gin countered, placing a paw on Sniper's stomach before sliding it down until he reached his groined. He grabbed his cock by the knot and squeezed it tightly, causing his lover to moan.

"I still have it. What about you? You still have your humility, or did you turn into John?"

Gin rolled his eyes. "You really think too lowly of him."

"Not my fault that he has a thick skull. What's the point of having one if John doesn't even have a brain to protect? Not that he'd have a brain worth protecting." Sniper said.

Gin laughed. "There you go again, insulting my best friend. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were jealous of him."

Sniper laughed. "Why would I be jealous of him?"

"Well, I always wondered just how big he was." Gin raised his brows as he grinned, causing Sniper's eyes to widen.

"Tell me you're lying! Tell me that dumbass didn't fuck you!"

"Alright, alright. Yes; I am making it up. I just wanted to see how you'd react. You really are the jealous type."

"What can I say? I want you, and I have no intentions of sharing. You're mine."

"If this how you're like with me, I wonder how you'll react when our sons find their mates." Gin said.

"Don't even get me thinking about that!" Sniper exclaimed. "I don't know what I'd do if they ended up with someone."

"Well, what would you do if Weed ended up with Jerome? I mean, remember how close they seemed?" Gin asked.

Sniper was silent for a thought as he thought about it, then he sighed. "Well, Jerome's proven that we could trust him with Weed. Still, it's only natural for me to give him a warning, at least. But are you sure Weed would end up with a military dog like Jerome? He might find someone else in Japan."

"We're Absolute Immortals, Sniper. We can have more than one mate." Gin reminded.

"I know, but I'm just saying. I'm not very sure just how likely it is that we'll even see Jerome again. Maybe if we were to go on a family trip to America."

"That actually sounds nice. The boys were a little disappointed to leave."

"Yeah, they were." Sniper agreed, remembering their sons' expressions when they had to leave the only place they ever knew. "But they'll enjoy Japan and its wilderness. You know how the are."

Gin laughed. "That I do."

Sniper sighed as he looked past Gin. "Well, would you look at that."

The Akita looked over his shoulder, and he saw it. In the distance, there was a piece of small. It appeared tiny in the horizon, but it was slowly growing larger as the ship got closer. Gin smiled at the sight.

"Japan. We're home." Gin whispered.

Sniper sighed again. "This ship is heading for Osaka, due to some issues with the closer ports. To get from there to Ohu ranges from around hundreds miles. Yet another long journey."

"Hey, it's shorter than our other journeys. We can make it easily if there isn't any trouble. Besides, we're dogs."

Sniper chuckled. "Yeah. Given the fact that we're much faster than any other canine, and don't need sleep, we might be able to reach Ohu in about less than a day. Although, I feel like we might end up making a few stops along the way, should there be any trouble."

"Knowing everything we've been through, I seriously doubt that we'll make it there in less than a day. It may turn into two, at least." Gin said.

Sniper shrugged. "We'll just have to see how this goes."


A few hours later, the ship had finally arrived to the port in Osaka, where Sniper and Gin got off the ship with their sons and began making their way into the forests. It was an early morning, as it would be a little while longer before sunrise. So it was still dark enough for it to seem like night, not that it bothered the family. Sniper and Gin took the lead, both because they were the parents and because their sons had no idea which way to go, having never been to Japan before.

It would be a long trip north, and to be honest, Sniper and Gin weren't exactly sure which direction to go in to actually go straight to Ohu. All they could do was go north, since Ohu was roughly in that direction.

"Hey, Dad?" Thunder spoke up.

"Yes, son?" Sniper asked, not looking back as they all ran forward.

"Considering how fast we are, is there a chance that we can do some exploration?" Thunder asked.

Sniper looked over at Gin, unsure if it was a good idea, considering their urgency. "Um, what would you like the see?"

"The mountains in front of us."

Sniper and Gin looked, and they saw what had to of been the one of Shiga's mountains. The two exchanged a look, and they considered that since they were already heading into the direction of the mountains, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

"Alright, but we can't stay long in Shiga. So we're just going to look around." Sniper said.

And the five of them continued on their way. It wasn't long before the five of them made it to Shiga, where they stopped so that their sons could look around.

"Remember, boys, don't wander off too far." Sniper instructed, but as he looked at where his sons were, he only saw two of them. "Where's Thunder?"

"He went to look around." Weed answered.

Sniper sighed, then Gin walked over and nuzzled him.

"Come on, you know how he is. Besides, we aren't different."

"Yeah, I know. Still, it's getting annoying."

"Well, he's more mature now. He knows how to find his way back." Gin pointed out.

Sniper sighed again. "True."

Just after he spoke, their ears perked up when they heard something approaching. It was footsteps. A lot of them. A large group of dogs were approaching, but they didn't see anything yet. Immediately, Sniper and Gin got in front of Lector and Weed as they faced the direction of where the dogs were coming from. Just a moment later, the dogs were in their sight.

Sniper and Gin were now facing a pack of fifty or so dogs, but they both were surprised when they saw that all of them were young. They all appeared to be less than a year old, except for their leader, who seemed to be a few months older. He was a Kishu, but what really made him stand out was that he was heavily scarred. Those scars actually made him look somewhat older than he really was.

"You two, what are you doing in my territory?" He asked in a stern voice, which even made him sound older.

Sniper stepped forward, not at all intimidated by them or their numbers. "We're just travellers passing through. I had only been to Shiga once, which was years ago, so none of us knew that this place was occupied."

"Well, it is." The Kishu looked past the two of them and saw Lector and Weed. Upon realizing how the Dobermans looked alike, just like the Akitas, they had to of been related. This also made him realize that this group was different from dogs who usually pass through Shiga. "What are the four of you? For a small group, it looks like you're made up of two fathers and two sons."

"We're all a family." Gin stated. "This is my great uncle half-uncle Sniper, and his older son Lector. This is Weed, my only son. As for Sniper's other son, Thunder, he wandered off to explore the area."

The Kishu nodded. The look in his eyes suggested that he believed them. "Alright. Well, I wouldn't stay here if I were you."

Sniper raised a brow. "Why's that?"

"We've been dealing with another pack who want Shiga for themselves. If you both care for your sons, then I suggest you leave, before they get here." The Kishu explained.

Sniper looked at Gin, wondering what to do. The Akita looked at him, and he didn't know what to do, either. Suddenly, Weed spoke up.

"We can help."

Sniper, Gin, and Lector's eyes widened, while the Kishu raised a brow at the pup.

"Really? And how can five of you help us against a pack even larger than mine?"

"We're not a family that you want to underestimate. We've helped others before. Your situation isn't very different."

"Well, as much as I appreciate the offer, I just don't see how you all can really even the odds for us. There's just too few of you against a pack nearly twice our size."

"We've fought against greater numbers, and even stronger opponents. We can help you with your problem. Right, Dad?"

Knowing that Weed wasn't referring to his actual father, Gin nodded. "Of course, son." He looked at the Kishu in front of him. "My name is Gin. Gin of Ohu." He waited a moment as the pack all let out a series of gasps before continuing. "What my son says is true. We have, in fact, fought against larger numbers than what you all are currently dealing with. Please, let us help you with this battle."

There were multiple murmurs amongst the Kishu's pack, but they all seemed to want Gin's help. Finally, the Kishu made his decision.

"Well, if you really are Gin, then you might actually be able to help us with this one. My name is Kyoushiro, The Silver."

"It's good to meet you." Weed said, wagging his tail happily.

Kyoushiro gave the Akita pup a strange look. "It's nice to meet you, too."

"Mom, Dad!" Thunder appeared out of nowhere. "I saw a suspicious group of dogs. They said something about taking over Shiga."

Sniper and Gin exchanged a look, then the former looked at his son.

"How many?"

"The group was massive. If I had to guess, probably a hundred, all males." Thunder answered.

"Was their leader a black husky?" Kyoushiro asked.

Thunder raised a brow. "Yeah."

Kyoushiro growled. "That bastard. He's the one who wants to steal my territory. Sounds like he gathered even more subordinates. I don't know how you're going to handle this."

"Handle what?" Thunder asked in confusion.

"Weed volunteered us to help Kyoushiro with his problem." Lector explained.

"Okay." Thunder said simply.

Kyoushiro raised a brow. "This is one strange family. And who's this guy's mother? Gin said it was just Sniper and his sons. And how is he taking it so casually? They're not even afraid of a hundred dogs."

"Kyoushiro, is there any place the five of us can stay while we help you out?" Sniper asked.

Kyoushiro pushed his thoughts aside before nodded. "Sure. I think there's an empty cave back in the area where we all actually live. Follow me."


The walk was shorter than expected, and the family arrived to the area that Kyoushiro and his pack called home. The place, like the rest of Shiga, was covered in snow. But this spot was an open area surrounded by the forests, and around it were also rock formations where the caves must've been.

"Well, this is our home. Not too far is a river where we can drink from and catch a few fish. And it's obvious where the caves are. What do you think?" Kyoushiro asked.

"It's beautiful." Sniper commented.

Gin nodded in agreement. "It definitely seems like a nice place to live. Quiet, peaceful."

"It was." Kyoushiro said. "Then some assholes decide to come along and try to take it. But I won't let them, not while I can fight. That can wait, though. Let me show you to that cave you all will be staying at."

The five of them followed the Kishu to an empty cave. It was a decent size, large enough for them to have room to sleep in.

"What do you think?" He asked.

"Wow. This is nice." Thunder said as he walked inside to take a look.

"Thank you for this, Kyoushiro." Gin said. "We'll go to sleep, but wake us up if there are any developments."

Kyoushiro nodded. "Alright. I'll see you all tomorrow."

When the Kishu left, Sniper nuzzled Gin lovingly.

"How long do you think we should keep our cover?"

"I say that depends on whether or not Kyoushiro becomes a friend to us instead of someone we're just helping."

The Doberman shrugged. "Well, I suppose we should get some sleep. It would be nice to rest."

Gin chuckled as he laid down. "Come on, then."

Sniper smiled and laid next to his lover, wrapping an arm around the Akita before holding him close. Lector, Thunder, and Weed all snuggled together, with Weed in Thunder's arms, and the both of them in Lector's arms. And slowly, the five of them all managed to drift off to peaceful sleep.
