It Could Happen
Chapter 2: My Name is Inugami
There you go, the second chapter and my OC's name, which is the only thing I own, while everything else belongs to nicktoons network.
Gordon woke up to what looked like a morning, but he saw his alarm clock and realized it was already three in the afternoon; he looked at his window and saw the rain from yesterday. "I must've slept longer than I thought."
That's when Gordon remembered what happened last night, he saved a small injured puppy from the rain. It might've been something that should have never happened, but it was the right thing to do. "Time to wake, laddie, are ye hungry for...!?"
The worst has already started, the puppy had disappeared from Gordon's room. "Great gopher, if Blik or Waffle see him, I'll be in so much trouble."
"Gordon!?" A voice exclaimed.
From the sound of the voice, Gordon could tell that it was from Blik, and he wwas furious. "Oh no!"
Gordon rushed over to the living room, where Mr. Blik was waiting with his normal look, which was basically a scowl. "Um... afternoon Blik, i-is something wrong?"
"Nothing really, but would you mind telling me what this is doing here?" Blik asked
"Don't blame the lad, he was just...!?"
Before Gordon could answer, he saw whatever Blik was talking about; the whole living room was trashed, the couch was ripped, the table was broken in half, and there were traces of food everywhere. "The lad must've been hungrier than I thought."
"What?" Blik asked
"Uh, I said I was sorry, I guess I was really hungry last night." Gordon lied.
"At least you didn't mess wth my root beer, I'm gonna get the paper."
"Okay, you do that," Gordon waited until Blik finally left. "Now then, if I were a hungry lad, where would I be... the kitchen!"
Gordon rushed towards the kitchen, but it looked pretty normal to him; he checked the cabinets, the drawers, and the fridge... but mostly to get a root beer. "Come on laddie, where are you?"
"I'm right here!"
Gordon nearly jumped out of his fur, but he relaxed when he saw Waffle behind him. "Waffle, ye scared me right out of my ninth life."
"Were you looking for me?" Waffle asked.
"Ah no, I was just... looking for the TV remote." Gordon lied, again.
"Oh, then you should try looking in the living room," Waffle suggested. "By the way, what's for dinner?"
"There's still some left over haggis from yesterday."
"I don't think Mr. Blik will want any."
"More for us then, now why don't you go play with your newts, while I take care of dinner?" Gordon said, smiling.
"Don't forget the remote." Waffle reminded him.
"Aye, that to."
Gordon hated to lie to his little brother, it wasn't hard when it came to Blik, but Waffle was a kindhearted person; he actually would've understood why Gordon was doing this. "I'll make sure to tell him later, now I've got to find that pup."
Meanwhile, while Gordon was searching, Blik was enjoying his quiet time in the mansions library. "Peace and quiet, the best thing I could ever get here."
"Mr. Blik!"
"And now it's gone." Blik groaned at the sight of Waffle in front of him.
"Hey Blik, wanna..."
"No, I don't want to play with you, now go away!"
"But, why?" Waffle asked.
"Because I don't want to, all I want to do is sit back and relax until this storm is over," Blik answered. "By the way, did Gordon clean the living room?"
"He said he was making dinner first."
Blik just groaned when he heard that Gordon was cooking. "I hope whatever he makes gets eaten before I get there."
Gordon looked nearly everywhere, the bathroom, his brothers bedrooms, he retraced his steps to the living room again. "I hope the lad didn't go into the rain, but I also hope Blik and Waffle didn't catch sight of him."
"Gordon!?"
As if right on time, Gordon heard the screams of both his brothers coming back from the kitchen. "Hang on, I'm coming!"
Blik and Waffle stood at the end of the kitchen wall, watching the horror that was put upon them; a dog with white and orange fur, ears like a wolf, and snarling teeth was devouring Gordon's haggis. It tore through the goats stomach like it was nothing, it flew into the air and the dog catched it in its mouth, licking his lips in satisfaction, that's when he saw the two brothers in the corner. "Alright Waffle, we knew this would happen one day, so now's the time to sacrifice yourself to protect me."
"Right... what!?" Waffle exclaimed
"Gordon's fat behind isn't here, so your the second option for him now." Blik explained.
"Stop!"
Gordon finally came, just in the nick of time. "Gordon, hurry and protect me!"
"Save us, Gordon!" Waffle pleaded
"Don't worry lads, I'll take care of this."
Gordon walked over ti the dig and met him face to face, but what he did next shocked his brothers completely; Gordon smiled and petted the dogs head. "I see ye like my haggis, at least some people like it."
"Gordon what are you doing, why aren't you going highland quid clan on this dog?" Blik asked.
"Mr. Blik, Waffle, there's something I have to tell you," Gordon took a deep breath and got ready to tell the truth. "Last night, back at the gas station, I found this small dog in a back alley, and since it was raining... I brought him home with us."
"Are you crazy, you brought a filthy dog into our home!?" Blik was fuming now.
"I couldn't leave him in the rain, he's just a wee pup who can't take care of himself!" Gordon argued
"Good, because of you, he trashed the living room, ate are food, and more importantly," Blik moved to the fridge and opened the door. "He drank my last bottle of root beer!"
"Gomenasai."
"Waffle, will stop with that newtuguese language and talk normally!" Blik exclaimed.
"That wasn't me, that was the dog." Waffle replied
The three dogs just looked at the dog, who was now bowing to them and revealed apologetic blue eyes. "Gomenasai."
"What the heck is he saying?" Blick asked
"I think he's saying he's sorry, is that right, laddie?" Gordon asked
The dog nodded and tried to say something else. "Hai, namae wa Inugami, hajimemashte"
"What?" The brothers asked
Of course they wouldn't understand him, so he tried to make it easier for them. "Y-Yes, m-my name i-is Inugami, eto... nice to meet y-you."
"Nice to meet you, now get out of our house." Blik commanded
"Blik, he's just a pup, you can't just throw him out." Gordon argued.
"I can and I will, Hovis!"
Almost instantly, Hovis, the cats personal butler came in. "How may I be of service?"
"Throw that dog out of here!" Blik ordered
"I'm afraid I can't do that." Hovis replied
"Why not?"
"Because, the news said that the storm is very dangerous, and that everyone should stay indoors." After that explaination, Hovis left to do his job in the living room.
"Well then, looks like you'll be staying with us." Gordon said, smiling.
"Arigato, eto... t-thank you." Inugami replied
"Just what we need, a chinese dog in our house." Blik groaned.
"Actually, he sounds japanese?" Waffle stated
"Hai!"
"Well nice to meet ye Inugami, my name's Gordon, that's my little brother, Waffle." Gordon introduced.
"Hiya."
But before Gordon could get to him, Blik had already left. "Well, you already met Mr. Blik, he's our other brother. Now tell me lad, how are you able to speak english?"
"Pictures w-with words, I-I saw them." Inugami stuttered
"Mind telling us how old you are?"
"Ichi." He answered, holding out one finger
"One years old." Waffle, like always, pointed out the obvious.
"Now then, what were ye doing in that alley?"
Inugami's expression fell along with his ears, remembering whatever happened that night made him teary eyed; if it wasn't for Gordon wrapping an arm around him, he would've burst into tears. "It's ok laddie, ye don't have to tell us anything that happened, just don't cry."
"Arigato, Gordon." Inugami embraced Gordon into a hug, and he actually hugged back.
"Now then, why don't I make something to eat before Blik gets angry again?" Gordon asked
"Splee!" Waffle exclaimed
But Inugami just replied with a burp. "M-My tummys heavy."
"Cause you've eaten more than you can chew." Gordon chuckled
"Kind of like you are." Waffle teased
"Aye... hey!"
Inugami shared in the laugh, and Gordon had to admit that Waffle was right; they both ate a lot of food, had their own type of language they're good at, they even had the same colored fur, they probably could've have been father and soon. 'Nah, I must be getting ahead of myself, the lad probably doesn't think of me that way anyway.'
"Sleepy." Inugami yawned
"Why don't you go back in my room, ye can sleep in there." Gordon suggested
"Thank you."
After Inugami left, Gordon went to making dinner, but instead of what he intended to eat, he made a few microwave pizzas; though Blik didn't want to talk, Waffle enjoyed his time with everyone, even though Blik was still annoyed that a dog was inside his house. "I'm going to bed, good night."
"Night Blik." Waffle replied, but Blik didn't reply.
"Gordon, tell that dog to stop crying!" He exclaimed
"Crying?"
Gordon was worried, when he got to his room, he saw Inugami sobbing even more than he was when he first saw him; his tears stained the sheets on his bed, but Gordon didn't care, he just sat next to him and stroked his back to make him feel better. "Don't cry laddie, it'll be alright."
He didn't speak, Inugami just cowared in fear after a bolt of thunder struck. "Chin up lad, you don't have to cry anymore, you're safe now."
"Not safe... never safe... never safe." Inugami muttered.
Gordon felt sorry for the boy, he had no idea what Inugami must've went through, especially for something his age. "Here's something for ye to try, think about three things you love, it can help you feel better."
"L-Love?"
"Yeah, you must have something or someone you love, anything?"
Inugami didn't answer. "Nothing?"
Still no answer. "Not even one tiny thing?"
"Gordon."
"What?" Gordon asked
"Aishiteruyo, Gordon... oto-san." Inugami answered
"What's that mean?"
"I l-love you, Gordon... f-father."
Gordon was surprised, he knew Inugami would appreciate taking care of him, but he never would've guessed he thought of him as a father; it might've made since, he's still a young puppy, so he'd need a parental figure to look up to and love, Gordon smiled and gave him a soft hug. "I love you too laddie, good night."
"Night."
