Part 5
The wolves soon came to a stop. Quatre slid off and looked at Moro. She looked just like the wolf brothers except for she was a lot bigger and she had two tails. She sat down and looked at them. Then she turned her gaze towards where the heard of boars where coming.
"We have come to help you kill the humans!" one of the boars shouted. He seems to be the leader of the group. Moro gave a soft growl in annoyance.
"You kill the humans at your mountain. This is the wolf tribes forest." Moro said. The boar snorted. Then he caught sent of Quatre. He looked and saw the blonde haired pilot standing next to the brown haired boy.
"What're those humans doing over here!" the boar shouted! All the boars started squealing and grunting. Moro frowned.
"One of them is my son. The other boy, the one with sunlight hair is a friend of his." Moro snapped. Quatre looked at Trowa when Moro mentioned 'sunlight hair'.
"She means you. In a nice way." Trowa whispered. Quatre nodded. Then all the boars started to quiet down. Quatre looked and saw another boar coming towards the. It was a lot bigger then the other boars and was white.
"Okkotonushi." Trowa whispered. Quatre's eyes widen. That's Okkotonushi? The giant boar walked up to Quatre. Quatre stiffened as the boar looked at him.
"Okkotonushi please don't eat him!" Trowa begged. Quatre's eyes widen more. Eat me? The boar will eat me? Now Quatre started to get worried. The white boar sniffed Quatre then backed away a bit. Quatre looked at him and noticed that the white boar was blind.
"Your Moro's human children aren't you. Don't worry I wont eat him." Okkotonushi said looking at Trowa. Then he looked at Moro.
"Our numbers are weakening. They've been growing smaller since our forest was destroyed. Taken over by the humans. We are the last of all the ancient gods. Except for the forest spirit." Okkotonushi said sadly. The wolf god nodded also.
"Yes. The humans now try to destroy this forest. This is the only forest left. It is also where the forest spirit lives. I stay here guarding the last of the ancient trees. Guarding the forest spirit." Moro said. The boar nodded.
"What has happened to Nago?" Moro asked. All the boars roared with anger.
"Nago died. After our home was destroyed the flame of anger grew inside him. He turned into a demon." Okkotonushi replied.
"It's all the humans fault!" the boars cried.
"Do what you want with the humans but you must leave the forest. I will not allow anymore destruction to towards this mountain." Moro said. Okkotonushi nodded and walked away. All the boars followed in defeat. Quatre looked at Trowa and found him wrapping his arms around his 'mothers' neck.
"What will happen now?" Trowa asked.
"We keep fighting. Without the boar tribes help." Moro said as she gently licked him on the cheek. She then looked at Quatre.
"You can stay here for the night. It is already to late for you to go back where you came from." Moro said hastily and got up and walked away. Quatre stared at the wolf god walking away.
"Did I do something wrong?" Quatre asked Trowa. He shook his head no.
"It's not that. Mother just doesn't trust humans that much." Trowa explained. Quatre nodded.
"Come on." Trowa said as he hopped on Swift. Quatre climbed on Silence and the two rode back to the cave.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Duo frowned as he looked around the place one more time. Quatre's been missing all day long and he was getting worried.
"Found him yet?" Wufei asked. Duo shook his head no.
"I have no clue where to find him. I asked all the worker left here but they haven't seen him either." Duo said. Wufei sighed and looked up at the setting sun.
"It's getting late. We should go back inside." Wufei said.
"What about Quatre?" Duo asked. Wufei shook his head.
"He can take care of himself." Wufei commented. He watched Duo frown and walk off. I hope.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Quatre opened his eyes to see it was still dark. He looked and saw Trowa sleeping besides him. He was curled up under the wolf skin as a blanket. Quatre couldn't help but smile. He looks so cute when sleeping.
He pulled off the animal skin blanket and walked outside the cavern opening. He sat on the ledge his legs dangling on the side. He looked at the site and saw the where the construction site was. Duo and the others must be worried about me by now.
"Your friends must be worried for you by now." A voice said. Quatre looked up and saw Moro sitting on top of the top of the cave. She got up and walked over and saw next to Quatre. He looked up at her. She was bigger then he thought.
"Yes. I feel sorry for having them to worry so much." Quatre said.
"Why is it that you came here to see my son? Is it because your worrid about him? Or is it because you have feelings for him?" Moro asked. Quatre's eyes widen. Moro chuckled.
"I knew it," she said. Quatre looked down at the forest floor blushing. Then he looked up at Moro.
"Moro?" he asked. The wolf god looked at him. Quatre saw her eyes. They where a where a pretty golden color.
"Umm..what is the forest spirit and a demon?" he asked. Moro looked at the forest.
"The forest spirit is the one who decides whose time is to live and who's time it is to die. He is the god of life and death. He is rarely seen. I have guarded this forest for him since the ancient times and not once have I ever talked to him. I see him every once and a while and that's all. A demon is a god turned evil by its hatred. When the hatred inside of him grows to strong he turns into a demon. Once turn your no longer a god. You lose the ability to speak, you can't think. Only about your hatred. Anyone who touches a demon is cursed. The curse slowly grows killing you. Giving you a slow and painful death. There is no way to lift the curse. The only thing that can do so is the spirit of the forest." Moro explained.
Quatre stared in amazement. He looked out towards the forest and noticed some movement along the forest floor.
"The boars are on the move. They live the forest but they will stay somewhere else to fight." Moro said gravely.
"Moro, isn't there anyway for the forest and the people to work something out?" Quatre asked. Moro growled.
"No. We have told the humans to stay away from the forest. They have not listen and shall now pay the price." Moro growled.
"What about Trowa? Is he going to die saving the forest?" Quatre asked angrily. Moro growled showing her canine teeth.
"Yes. If he dies saving the forest so be it." Moro snapped.
"You can't let Trowa on this burden! He's not a wolf he's human!" Quatre cried. Moro snarled at Quatre.
"He is nor human or wolf, but he is my son. He was ever since the day I found him. Out in the middle of a battlefield not far from the forest. I came down to see what was left and found him. He's family gone. I could've eaten, but no. I took him in and raised him as one of my own. Named him Trowa because he was my third. My third son." Moro growled.
Quatre stared at Moro. That's why he called Moro his mother. She was the one who raised him.
"H-how did he become a gundam pilot?" Quatre asked.
"Trowa was only 10 when he was taken away. He and his brothers where playing hide-and-go-seek near the edge of the forest. Some humans saw him. They took him in. When his brothers told me I ran to save him but I was to late. He was gone. After the war was over Trowa soon appeared in the forest again but he was dressed like a human. Smelled like one. Those humans that took him turned into an emotionless soldier. They called him nanashi because they thought he didn't have a name. They turned my once happy little pup into a lost soul. Now he goes back and forth trying to live a life in the human world trying to keep this forest safe and trying to live here with us. Trowa belongs into the forest." Moro said gravely. Quatre tore his gaze away from Moro.
Was that the only reason Trowa stayed with us? To help protect his home? Quatre thought.
"When the sun rises again you shall leave back to where you belong. If I see you again I will be forced to kill you." Moro said. The got up and walked away. Quatre sighed as he looked away from the wolf god that was walking away and stared at the forest floor once again. Soon he saw Moro's silver white fur through the trees. He got up and walked inside the cave. Trowa was still asleep. Curled up like a baby.
Quatre took the large skin blanket and gently covered Trowa with it. He could see Trowa's body relax, as he got warmer.
Quatre woke up when he felt the first rays of sunbeam through the cave. He looked around and saw Trowa wasn't here. He got up and walked to the cave. He saw Silence standing on the outside of the cave.
"Where's Trowa?" Quatre asked.
"With mother. They're discussing their plans. I was sent to led you back to the humans." Silence said. Quatre nodded a little disappointed that Trowa wasn't here.
"Come on." Silence said as he bends down a bit to let Quatre on. As soon as Quatre climbed on his back the wolf took off. Jumping off the hillside. During that whole time Quatre kept his eyes tight shut. He still didn't like the way the wolves jumped got down to the forest floor.
Soon Silence came to a stop. Quatre looked up and saw the construction site.
"This is your stop." Silence said. Quatre slide down and thanked the giant wolf pup. The wolf then ran off into the forest. Quatre sighed as he watched the wolf run into the forest. He then turned around and walked towards the construction site.
