Chapter 12
So my friend's it seams this is getting closer to the finish and I hope some of you are still reading this. Sorry if I seam distracted but I am, life is really crazy now.
Well any way on with the show.
Gravity you and me, the fates.
Upon returning home ruuku was met by his father, he looked sternly at his son." may I have a talk with you my boy?" moro headed away to the den to allow her mate time with his father, she also wanted to tell her friends. The joy filled her heart she had never thought of a mate, or love.
She saw her friend's eating, but something made her avoid them and slip undiscovered into her quarters. She pressed herself against the rock wall of the cave, hidden in the darkness.
"what am I doing, why do I feel this way, I should tell them, but I feel I should wait" she slid onto her butt, "ruuku is such a good wolf, maybe to good."
She shook her head" love, no could it be I should just rethink that love can be trouble in the hard time's, I need to concentrate on ridding the forest of the cruel humans" she then smiled " but I like that way it feel's to have someone stand with you , laugh with you and love you" Moro slowly got up , she watched the other's eat, she saw Fetto talking with some of the girl's , moro blushed " at least my mate isn't a tail chaser" she giggled and walked out into the open, Kim spotted her and waved a paw " hey, Moro over hear!"
Ruuku and his father walked out into the forest," my son, I know that you and that Moro girl have been close, and .." ruuku cocked his head and arched his brow "what do you mean father?" gallon looked at his son and smiled " it's nothing bad to love, it's nothing to be ashamed of " ruuku turned away his dark fur hiding his embaressment.Gallon looked up into the forest canopy " I remember when I met your mother , her fur was full dark and it almost shone a blue color in the right lighting, her gray eye's " gallon smiled to him self " well any way , when I first told our pack about us being mate's I was met with hostility and was exiled" ruuku looked shocked " but I thought you guy's lived with them till , till your clan was exterminated " gallon nodded " that is true, let me finish, any way , she was a beta pup with low ranking in the clan, I was a alpha pup, my parent's already had chosen a mate for me."
Ruuku looked out into the wood's watching butterflies and bees. Gallon sat down now"
I couldn't settle with the mate they chose for me, she was nice, creamy fur, she wasn't ugly on the out side but her nature was brutal."
"Son she would purposely pick on your mother, biting her ears and eating her food, I couldn't stand it, seeing the one I love suffer." Ruuku looked at his father "what did you do, why wouldn't your parent's stop her?"
"because that's what they wanted, I grew to hate them, so one day, your mother and I ringed up some friend's and tormented Mara my chosen mate, we bit her tail, tore hunk's of her fur out, matching her appearance to her behavior.
It gave me great happiness to see her cry and runaway"
Ruuku smiled "I bet, what happened next didn't your parent's get angry?"
Gallon lifted his hind paw showing a ruffled area on his leg " I did pay, my own father, he, attacked me, he gave me this scar he crippled me making my rank go down, so I was the same as your mother"
Ruuku looked saddened "why would your own father do that to you?" gallon closed his eye's "I don't know but he thought it would sadden me, make me cry, but it made me equal to my mate, so she and I left, my leg slowly healing, your mother helped me get stronger, she taught me thing's only alpha's should know, that's when I found out the truth, my father was her half brother."
Ruuku looked angry "he would hurt his own sister that badly!"
Gallon got up putting all his weight on the scared foot " this wound was a reminder of what he did to me, and your mother, so I went back year's latter, many of the pack was happy to see me ,even my mother, but my father was ready to face me again, with the love of your mother on my side I slain my father, and became the alpha al over again, but I changed thing's , no longer did you have to have a chosen mate but you could be with whom ever you desire"
Ruuku jumped up "you, you created the soul mate democracy?!"
Gallon nodded " yes it was eye and many other's that spread the chain, im only telling you this just incase hital has not been a soul mate democrat, I hope for your sake he is"
Ruuku looked down "I never knew, that it was you, I just expected it to be one's right from the beginning,,
Even if I have to fight hital I will, but I have a feeling he is a good, wolf"
Moro and the other's were eating, Moro caught a glimp's of ruuku, her heart skipped she watered at the eye's. The other's saw her reaction "aww, so it is true you do like him" Kim teased, moro stud up only looking at ruuku now was moro he smiled, moro looked down at kim and her brother "no, I don't, I don't like him, I love him, with all I have he is my other half" , Fetto sighed and stuck his tong out, Kim and the other girl's sighed and batted there eye's "that's sooo romantic"
Moro now looking at her approaching mate " he is my yin, and I am his yang, like the earth need's the rain, I, his love.
The two united with embrace , sotto, saw her daughter with ruuku and simply smiled.
The next few day's hital and moro spent time together,
"Moro im glad u found a mate, but" moro stopped eating "but what father?"
Hital breathed in deeply "I just want you to be happy, just know that no matter what I and your mother love you" moro eased up and smiled "thanx daddy"
Sotto entered the feeding den "well now how about that ceremony planning" moro smiled and greeted her mother "we get to plan it all out, what to eat, the area, the flower colors"
Moro and sotto giggled and walked away leaving hital shaking his head "women!"
The fall was well into it's peek the tree's had brown red and orange leave's, the air had a sweet smell to it.Hital went to Ruuku's sleeping quarter's and woke him " hey come on we have work to do,"
Ruuku rolled over onto his back "what are you talking about?" hital grabbed ruuku's tail and pulled "get up we have invite's to get out your marriage is in three day's!"
Ruuku yelped and got up, licking his tail "gee was that necessary?" hital laughed "made me laugh!"
The two ventured out into the wood's " hey ware are we going?" ruuku asked still half a sleep. Hital walked faster "to nago's clan, he is invited, then were going to gather some Jacqueline due pre flowers, there Moro's favorite.
Ruuku smiled "your right but she also like's orchid's"
Hital began to gallop "then we best hurry flower's are dieing this time of year!"
The two wolves ran as fast as they could in the maze of mononoke forest.
Once reaching the bore fields "ruuku could smell the bore's, a sweet rotting odor.
"Now be careful what you saw, matter of fact just let me do the talking" hital whispered to and hital approached the bore's, they were grazing, ruuku saw little piglet's playing in the mud, a mother bore gave him a glare. Ruuku avoided eye contact.
Hital reached one of nago;'s sons "boy could you tell me ware your father is!" the teen pig looked at the wolf them smiled "oh yeah your fetto's papa, sure I'll get my dad" the teen walked away muttering "oh great Moro told on us, stupid human's, stupid Moro!"
Ruuku over herd him and snarled, hital looked at ruuku "mind your self these creatures could crush us so hold your tong boy" ruuku looked away angry.
Soon the sound of nago's heavy feet rumbled the ground "ahh my little wolf friend!" nago bowed, hital also bowed "good to see you, what bring's you all the way out hear?"
Hital now looking at ruuku " this is ruuku he's a fine wolf , and he is to wed my daughter moro" nago smiled showing his teeth and tusk's " wonderful, she is a good wolf much like you hatil im happy for her" ruuku smiled and bowed " it would make her happy if you could attend the ceremony" ruuku asked , the bore looked at the wolf " well I suppose I could come " hital and ruuku smiled " good, it will be in a few day's at the cherry fields" nago licked his lip's " umm cherries, I mean I wouldn't miss it for the cherries, I mean the world " the three of them laughed." Then well see you there "ruuku bowed.
The two wolves then ventured toward the mountain's" this is our best bet going this way" hital said pointing his nose t a darkened trail. Ruuku followed him into the darkness." Not many go this way anymore, but it is the fastest way to the field.
"
Ruuku and hital would scrape tree's as a marker to the wouldn't get lost.
Meanwhile Moro and her mother were spying on a family of fox, the small fox were tring to capture beaver's. Moro smiled "mother cant we just steal from them?" sotto nodded "no we will trade with them. well get them beaver and larger game if they can supply us with the fish we want for the party" moro sighed " I guess so t would be easier to steal though"
Moro and her mother slowly emerged from the bushes, the fox pup's were first to sound an alert, sotto crouched "we come in offering" Moro sprang from the bushes and darted past the fox adult's and caught the fleeing beaver. The fox snarled "that is our meal!" sotto nodded "yes now it is" the fox settled down "I see, what do you want wolf!" the pup's wag's there little tail's as Moro dragged the carcass to the fox family. Sotto sat up, looking much larger then the fox adult's. The female fox waged her tail "you want assistance on something, do you not?" moro smiled dropping the beaver, "your smarted then you look" , the male fox hissed, moro snickered , sotto hushed her daughter "don't mind her, but yes we would like your help, you see my child is going to be wed to her mate in a ceremony and, we want to have fish as the dinner". The pup's looked up from eating the beaver " weee wee can help yous " moro smiled at the cute pup's ,the father fox jumped in front of his pup's snarling , moro stepped back ."Leave my kit's alone!" he snarled ,the mother fox shook her head " im sorry about him, we might help if what your offering is worth it"
Sotto once more sat down , Moro sat next to her mother avoiding the male fox.
"We need a lot of fish we can get you just about any larger game what do you want for 100 fish, all at least 6 pounds?"
The fox huddle and whisper." Well take 4 goats" soto and moro looked at each other "
Goats?"
The fox pups ran around in a circle " yes tasty salty meat's sweet bones and spicy eye's, goat , goat!"
Moro got up and snarled " re you mad, goat's are human raised food!" the male fox rolled his eye's " oh well I guess no fish for you"
sotto whipped her tail impatiently " goat's you want four , then I up the ante , we need 140 on red bass 6 pound's each , also I want a cluster of crow egg's"
the fox looked at each other" fine it's a deal" sotto shot up and looked at her daughter " well then let's get those goats, you fox know better then to go back on your word, I'll give you two day's, well be back then, with the goat's"
the pup's waved there tails' " bye bye"
moro and sotto walked back to the den " mother is that wise stealing from the humans?"
sotto smiled " ware's your wild side , we need not fear , and this is after all your wedding "Moro smiled a toothy grin "your right!" The two then detoured heading for a human camp.
"What are you doing let's leave we have enough" hital cried up to ruuku,whom was climbing on a cliff to reach a large cluster of orchids.Hital stud next to the bushes of flowers they snatched the orchids in his mouth, and stared back down.
The sun had began to set, the two wolves now carried large bundles of flowers in there mouth's , the wood's began to stir with life, the small white human like creatures moro and ruuku saw in the spirits home began to materialize every ware, hital watched them shake there head's .They slowly made their way home, not till still darkness did they make it home, they could smell an unfamiliar meat. After placing the flowers in the cave they sleeplessly crawled to thire sleeping den, a long nite for them all.
The day had arrived the sun was sparkling on the dew.
Moro and sotto had already headed out to the cherry field, nago and a few bores came and carried the goats to the fox, Fetto was with them.
The male fox emerged from his den" finally the goat's" Fetto stepped up to the fox" now your end of the bargen please!"
The female fox lead them to a clearing that was full of fish," 146 fish and a cluster of 5 crow egg's" Fetto nodded , the bore's lowered the goat's down, and scooped up the fish, that were lieing on banana leaves ,for easy carrying.
Hital and the other wolves were assembling the flowers , the smell of the cherries ripening was mouth watering, the girl's chattered with each and his mother were cleaning his fur " thank you mother, I hope I look good" his mother smiled " you look handsome my boy , just like your father." Ruuku rubbed his head against her's " thank you"
Moro and ruuku meet in the field as other's watched , Kira smiled as the two sat before her ." it is with pride we unite these two wolves, my it be it was fate, love and happiness ,shall these two stay together till the end's come knocking at their door, my they have pup's my they live forever as mate's, protector's of mononoke forest and the river and sky clan's"
The feast went well and it was so that moro and ruuku became mate's for all to see.
That night was full of fun, laughter and memories were made, family's combined!
Thing's were perfect for the wolves, that's night moro and ruuku slept under the stars with thanks to the forest spirit was it walked the forest as it's night walker form it watched the mate's snuggle together , black and white, peace, love.
End of this chapter, I know the ending was a little cheesy but I was running out of ideas. anyway, I wonder what will happen next will they have pups , will the forest be safe. Read and review and I'll post more, I want at least 3 reviews' to post up the next chapter damn you!
Preview of the next chapter…
Like any other day, moro and ruuku walked the frosted forest, admiring the bare trees and, smelling the coming of winter. Moro snuggled her head under Ruuku's chin," it's so surreal , you and I, I've never been so happy " ruuku smiled down at his mate, something caught his attention, a human." Moro let's get out of hear , I see a human" moro looked arrogantly at the male humans watching them " what will that small pest do, just ignore him?" ruuku kept an eye on the human, the human held a weapon in his hand's that had the shiny metal at the tip."follish beast, I'll ride of them and get that city built ware I want it, me and my wife will have a fit home for are little baby!" the man stalked the wolves, other men not to far behind with weapon's matching their leaders." Sir must we follow theses creature's?" the man turned back and looked at the coward" what is your problem?" he said with a menacing grin, the follower bowed down " nothing Mr. eboshi nothing at all"
