Ginga Densetsu Weed: The Tale of Corvus, Son of Minazuki
Corvus's POV
"WE'RE HERE! WE'RE HERE!"
Jane was screaming her head off while we approached an over looking hill and when he got to the top I was shocked at what was shown in front of me. Right there, was Ohu. Paradise. Two mountains overlapping each other that Drako had identified as Futago Pass and the brilliant snow that was covering everything around them, the trees were painted white, the ground, covered with snow.
"Calm down sweaty, we're not nesescerily there yet" Sam said, nuzzling his mate as he joined us in looking at Paradise.
"I know, but it sure is pretty to look at, even from a distance like this"
"Yes, because its just such a joy to be here!" Drako sighed, rolling his eyes and saying the sentence sarcastically.
I looked back at him and sighed, always so negative whenever it came to anything associated with Ohu, he almost had a hatred for it and I could tell he wasn't happy with being here, he wasn't even looking at Ohu with the rest of us and how someone couldn't like the sight of this place was beyond me.
"Come on Drako! Come look at this with us! It's beautiful!" I suggested, looking out at the beautiful paradise.
"I've seen more than enough of that place" Drako answered, walking away.
"Where are you going?!" Grey asked, tilting his head.
"To take a bath!"
"Can I go with you? I feel dirty!" I asked, smiling at him.
"No, I want to bath by myself if you don't mind" Drako answered, not even bothering to look back at me before he left.
"Come on Corvus, we can bath together!" Grey suggested, smiling at me.
I really doubt he wants to just bath together but I did need to get cleaned after weeks of traveling and having no personal time to wash out my fur so it was about time that I took a nice and relaxing bath in some stream, weather it was with Grey or not.
"Fine, but you're staying at least ten feet away from me" I replied, walking to the fresh scent of water, where ever it may be.
"What about you three?" Grey asked, looking back at Sam, Jane and Francis.
"We'll stay here until you guys get back, I'd like to enjoy the moment for a bit" Francis answered, a small smile noticeable on his face.
"Okay! If you say so" Grey said, following me with his tail wagging.
I looked back at him and he looked at me, that dumb smile of his was plastered on his face.
He was lucky he was cute.
Caleb's POV
"Sir! We need to strike them now!" Damian growled, looking at me.
"Nah, give them some more time..." I replied, yawning afterwards.
"Sir, even I agree with Damian, we have to go after them now! We've just been following them for weeks and Kain is going to be really upset if we don't bring them back soon" Barry informed, looking at me along with the rest of my followers.
I looked at them as we laid down in the field of grass and trees, they all wanted to attack them in fear of being killed or tortured by Kain. Fear could do a lot of things to others.
"Fine...go ahead and do it, but don't kill any of them! I want them alive..."
Ren's POV
"There they are..."
I licked my lips, looking at the two dogs that I have been chasing for weeks now and it was about time that I got the chance to fight them, that Minazuki guy is close to being fully well and that Cecil is well and ready for a fight. Just the thought of finally getting some action was making me claw at the ground.
"Ren, you can get Minazuki, I'll get the slave" Seth ordered
"Back off Seth, they're mine, you and the others can watch but I've spent to much time to not get a good fight out of this" I said, growling at the Lieutenant.
"Ren! I order you! Not the other way around!"
I turned around to him, baring my fangs at the dog. Why he think he could order me around was beyond me and the fact that he was a submissive to Kain made it even worse, I wasn't going to be ordered around by a submissive and do it willingly.
"Make me!"
Seth backed down, backing away with his tail between his legs while the others around him backed off as well. I looked at them, all of them and with my gaze they started to back away. Smirking, I walked down to the two dogs that were below us. Hoping that they would give me a good fight, or at least last for a while before they die and if they don't...
I might just have to kill Seth out of boredom...
Cecil's POV
Minazuki...
He's just so...amazing!
The older dog was so fun to be around, ever sense that day that he told me about how he and his mate met. he has really opened up and now we don't just walk and say nothing while we walk but conversations are actually happening between the two of us.
We've grown a lot closer sense that, slightly awkward, conversation. Talking regularly, joking around with each other, laughing with each other...sleeping closer to each other...
I don't know what it is about him but I really like this dog. He's really trusting, respectful, funny and just plain sexy! He's lean and muscular and when he moves...Arf...I swear I can see every muscle move in his body when even a single paw leaves the ground and comes back down, I sometimes catch myself staring at his body and a little bit of drool coming down my muzzle.
At nights, when it gets to cold, Minazuki would ask if I wanted to sleep with him to try and warm each other up, of course I always say yes and when he was good and asleep I would get one of his paws and wrap it around my waist and sigh deeply, enjoying the warmth that his body will bring to me. Sometimes I would even dream about kissing him, wondering what his lips feel like, what his mouth would taste like when we kiss.
Such as right now, I was watching his mouth move as he talked on about his times in Mutsu when he was younger and all I could think about was kissing him until the sun went down. I just wanted to tackle him to the floor and slip my tongue into his mouth! I've never felt like this with anyone. I'm not sure if its love or lust but I think Minazuki is one HOT dog.
"Cecil?"
I shook my head, hearing him say my name and getting me out of the thoughts that I was having.
"Y-yeah?" I asked, listening to him.
"Did you hear what I said?" He asked, tilting his head at me.
"No...sorry I wasn't really paying attention" I answered apologetically.
"It's okay, we all get distracted sometimes" He replied, smiling.
I smiled back, that was another thing he had, his smile always cheered me up, no matter what happened and no matter what predicament we were in, as long as he was smiling, so was I.
"W-what did you say anyway?"
"Oh, I asked what you're going to do once you get to Mutsu!" Minazuki repeated, looking at me.
"Mutsu? Well ummmmmm...I kinda wanted to find a mate, you know?" I answered, trying to avoid his gaze.
"A mate huh? What kind of mate?" He asked.
"W-what do you mean?"
He blushed, trying to look for the words to ask me the question.
"Well, uh, do you like females? Or..." He drifted off, waiting for my answer I guess.
"B-both" I answered, feeling a little weird about the conversation we were having.
"Both? Oh! Okay, I see" Minazuki confirmed.
"Why do you ask?"
"No reason, you know who I prefer and I was just curious about who you prefer" He answered, closing his eyes and smiling at me.
I looked down at his legs, they healed really fast for such serious wounds, he was a tough one thats for sure and now the only thing there was a few minor scratches that were closed up.
Thats when it happened, nothing that I expected would happen.
"So, which do you think I prefer?"
We both looked at the one who talked, seeing a Doberman standing there, a mere few feet away from us and grinning while we examined both of us. I recognized the dog as Ren, one of the generals that Kain had and he was the second strongest for the reason that he didn't care who he killed and if he got hurt or not.
"R-ren!" I whined, sounding like a scared out of his mind pup.
"Hello, Cecil was it? I've never met you before but all of my subordinates have been talking about you A LOT! What's your secret?" He asked, smirking and walking towards us until Minazuki looked at him and growled.
"Who are you? Are you a part of Kain's pack?!"
"Am I a part of his pack? I'm a General!" Ren answered, smirking and continuing to walk towards us.
We backed up simultaneously, one step at a time, our eyes never going off of the General before us. Our teeth were bared at him while his were covered by his lips and tongue, examining us before stopping all of a sudden.
"Go!" He said before running at us.
Minazuki got in front of me, growling and standing firm against the charging dog. He protected me. Ren then snapped his jaws at Minazuki's muzzle, which he ducked under from and rose his head up quickly, connecting his head with Ren's lower muzzle and causing him to stagger back and while he staggered, Minazuki rammed him yet again with his head.
Ren walked back, looking drowsy with blood coming down his head and to his lower jaw, hitting his eye and side of the muzzle on the way.
"You call yourself a 'General'?...You don't deserve the name" Minazuki growled.
I smiled, even though he was injured just a matter of weeks ago he was able to outwit and out class Ren! The third strongest in my former pack besides Kain and Caleb! He's so strong...he protected me even though it put his life in danger...
"Hahaha! That was fun!" Ren smiled, licking the blood that came across his muzzle, seeming to be not injured at all.
Minazuki looked in disbelief at the dog before him, he didn't seem as hurt as he was before, he seemed like the blood that was streaming down his face right now wasn't from a wound at all.
"Lets go again!" Ren cheered, running at Minazuki.
Ren snapped at Minazuki's muzzle yet again but instead of ducking, Minazuki backed his head up and waited for Ren's jaws to clamp down before he used his own muzzle to sweep under his feet and making the General fall down on his back.
When I thought Minazuki was about to win, Ren got quickly back up, bit down on Minazuki's neck and slammed him to the ground. Chuckling as he struggled. I growled myself and bit down on Ren's shoulder, the taste of blood hitting my tongue. Ren growled into Minazuki's fur while he used his hind leg to kick me off and into the dirt.
"C-cecil! Run! Go! Get out of-" Minazuki cried before Ren used his paw to slam down on his muzzle, quieting him.
"Shut up..." He cooed, growling "...Do you feel it? The fear of death?" He asked, looking down at Minazuki and removing his paw from the dogs muzzle and settling it on his head.
I growled and got back up, he was hurting Minazuki! I grew furious and bit down on his shoulder again and got kicked back once more by his powerful hind leg. I did it again and the same result happened, me in the dirt while Minazuki struggled to get out of the Generals grip.
"...I don't fear death, I look forward to it..." Minazuki answered, staying still.
I stopped, looking at the older dog and freezing up, not believing him. Ren seemed to have the same surprised look on his face and even squinted at the former General, he grew and smirk and raised an eyebrow at him.
"Explain, if you would?" Ren asked.
I had to admit, I was pretty eager myself to hear why he would say such a thing, he's never said ANYTHING like looking forward to death, I always pictured him as the one who would tell everyone not to give up on life and look forward to what life can bring you. Thats what he's always seemed to be like in my eyes anyway.
"Death...I always looked forward to death after Akatora died, I considered it many times, but then I figured out that somehow I was pregnant with Corvus and I decided I have a new purpose in life, so I told Akatora that I would take care of our son until he was old enough...then I was ready to die whenever death found me...I would be ready to be with Akatora again..." Minazuki answered, looking up at the sky and having a few tears fall to the ground "Until then, I can't die, because my son needs me, and I'm not about to let someone like you stop me from keeping my promise to my mate..."
Minazuki flipped over with Ren still attached to his throat, and took the opportunity to bite down on his Ren's exposed stomach. He picked Ren up and slammed him down, repeating this once...twice...three times...four times, before dropping the dog to the ground, letting him fall limp to the ground.
Ren gasped, having the air knocked out of him and trying to gain it back somehow, gasping and struggling to get some oxygen back in his lungs. I looked in amazement as Minazuki limped back over to me and nudged my shoulder.
"A-are you okay? Can you walk?" He asked, looking at me.
"Yeah, lets go before more come after us"
"REN!"
"LEADER!"
"ARE YOU OKAY?!"
I looked past Minazuki and saw at least twenty or so dogs coming down a hill, I knew most of them and feared what they would if they caught us, getting up and turning around, I was greeted with even more dogs, then turning left and right we saw more dogs.
We were hopelessly surrounded...
"Ren!" Seth cried walking over to the injured dog and helping him up.
"BACK OFF!" Ren growled, looking at all of the dogs around us "THEY'RE MINE! I GET TO FIGHT THEM!"
Ren growled as he approached us and all of the other dogs let him out of fear. Minazuki looked at Ren and began growling. Meanwhile, I was looking at the other dogs and looking for a way to get out of this circle of teeth and fangs.
Then we heard it, all of us.
The sounds of dogs screaming and the sounds of blood hitting the ground like a loud slush and when I looked in the direction of the sounds I could see the bodies of dogs flying from one side to another and soon a dog stepped into the middle of the circle. His fur was striped with black over his grey and white normally colored fur and his face contained spots that looked like freckles. The stripes clearly giving away that this dog was some form of Kai-Ken like Kain or Akatora. His eyes were blood shot and showed signs that he had been crying not long ago.
From the looks of it, he wasn't their comrade but I wasn't sure if I could exactly call him an ally. But Minazuki had an entirely different reaction from the rest of us, his tail was wagging! A smile grew on his face as well and when the dog looked at Minazuki he grew a slight and smilier smile to Minazuki.
"It is you! Come on!" He called out heading through the line he came from.
Minazuki whirled around to me, grabbed me by the scruff and whirled back around before taking me and following the dog while he smash through any dogs that stood in our way. I could hear the sounds of Ren and Seth shouting orders to their men but they were in total dismay and soon we were able to out run them and find a quiet place to hide, for the moment at least.
Minazuki laid me on the ground, panting and staring at the younger dog as he looked back at the way we came, making sure no one followed us in the process. His eyes...They looked so blank, it looked like he had lost suffered a great loss and I only saw that once before, when Minazuki was telling me about Akatora. They're eyes looked so similar. It was scary really.
"Minazuki..." The dog said, looking at my traveling partner "...What are you doing here? I thought you were dead because of how long it's been sense I last saw you"
"It's nice to see you to Shigure, thanks for saying hello" Minazuki sighed, looking at the dog.
Great, now I feel like a third wheel.
The dog named Shigure turned his attention from Minazuki to me, looking over my body and seeing the minor wounds that I tried to cover. He walked over to me and started to lick the wounds clean. I blushed from the sudden affection and didn't try to stop him. It was kind of soothing in a way.
"So, how is Kurotora doing?" Minazuki asked, laying down.
"He's good, still grumpy as ever but at least he's a father figure" Shigure answered, licking my wounds clean.
"I thought so, I'll have to pay him a visit" Minazuki noted.
"I-I'm sorry..." I spoke up "...But who are you?"
Shigure stopped licking and turned to Minazuki as they exchanged looks before turning back to me.
"Shigure, this is Cecil, Cecil this is Shigure, he's sort of my niece" Minazuki answered, introducing the two of us.
"B-but he's a Kai-Ken does that mean he's..." I stopped, not wanting to upset Minazuki even more by mentioning his deceased mate's name.
"Yes, he's Akatora's niece" Minazuki answered, giving a slight smile.
"N-nice to meet you, Shigure" I smiled, my tail wagging.
"Nice to meet you as well Cecil" He replied, going back to licking my minor wounds.
I caught Minazuki looking all over the place, looking for someone of something it seemed like until he tilted his head and gazed at Shigure.
"Where are your brothers Shigure? You never travel alone..."
The licking stopped.
I felt something else wet go onto my fur. Tears. I felt tears hit my fur as Shigure hid his face and started to shiver and break down. Here was a dog that just a while ago was taking on dogs and beating them left and right and now he was crying his eyes out and shivering like a pup that had just lost his Mother and didn't know what to do.
"T-they...they're dead..."
Minazuki froze, his eyes became huge and dilated as he began shaking as well.
"W-when?!"
"A few days ago...they were murdered" Shigure answered.
Minazuki's reaction was a horrible one, he looked terrified and his eyes were diverted to the sky and muttered something inaudible as if he were praying for them. I didn't know who they were but judging from Shigure's and Minazuki's reactions, they were deeply loved. Shigure continued to lick my wounds, still crying and shaking. I frowned and nuzzled Shigure affectionately and put my head under his chin.
"I'm so sorry Shigure" I said, trying to cheer him up.
He hugged me close and tight, crying into my fur and I let him, hugging him back until he stopped crying and lifted his face from my shoulder, wiping the rest of his tears away from his eyes cheeks.
"S-sorry about that" he apologized, standing up.
"Don't worry, we all deserve someone to talk to" I replied, smiling.
"Minazuki..." Shigure spoke, looking at the Husky and making his attention turn from the sky to him "...I'm going to kill the one who killed my brothers but I need to get to Mutsu to do that, do you know the way?"
"Yes I do and Shigure, where did you come from? Where were they murdered?" He asked, a hint of anger in his voice.
"Ohu...they died protecting it and they made it so I could escape..."
Ohu? I've heard of that place as a pup. It was supposed to be a Paradise for dogs all over and I always thought it was just a pup's tale, guess not.
"Ohu? B-but there hasn't been a murder in Ohu sense Gin became Leader" Minazuki said.
Gin? I heard about him as well when I was the pup, he was the dog that killed a giant bear when Ohu was still ruled by bears, he gathered hundreds of dogs from all around the country to kill the bear. He succeed and became the ruler of the great Paradise.
Shigure shook his head and got up, still looking at my traveling partner "Then you haven't heard about it...Ohu was taken over..."
Well it was about time I updated :) I made this chapter a little longer in hopes that my readers would forgive me for updating late so please review and tell me how I did and as I always say...
