Chapter 41
Kat stormed off down the hall back to the living room.
She piled up all her presents, opened and unopened, and was about to head back to her room when she spied Kageunsei near the tree.
The massive black wolf was staring at something blankly looking as if he had just seen a ghost.
Kat walked over, "Kage, you ok?"
He flinched as she neared him.
Kat stared at him confused.
Then a soft rustling came from under the tree.
Kat listened closer and she swore she heard a bark.
Kat crouched down and reached under the tree.
Her hand touched something warm and fuzzy.
She pulled the thing out and almost dropped it in surprise.
An amber wolf cub was dangling by the scruff from her hand.
It had an enormous red ribbon around its neck.
Kat took a closer look and saw a note attached to the bow.
She took it off and read it.
The note fell from her hand and she placed the pup on the ground as if it had rabies.
Her face turned pale, "No. No way."
But it is isn't it?
Kat shook her head in disbelief.
She left her here for me to take care of.
Kat picked up the note again and reread it:
To my dearest husband,
By the time you get this present, I will have been long gone. Her name is Saku and she is our daughter. I know you will take good care of her…
Your wife,
Phoenix of the Wind
PS Saku is Kat's guardian until she feels that her son needs our daughter more.
A daughter. I didn't even know she was expecting.
"She wasn't," Kat said.
Kageunsei stared at Kat.
"Your daughter is made up of-"
"Having fun wench?" Inuyasha joked.
Still not being in the best of moods Kat did what she thought would make her feel better, "SIT!"
Inuyasha face planted and the pup scrambled over to the hanyou.
She licked his face and bit his ears.
Inuyasha muttered curses from the rug before Tanya came in.
"What was that for?" she asked.
Kat glared at her but Tanya was paying attention to the pup, "Who is that?"
My daughter.
Tanya picked up the pup then almost dropped her in shock, "Your daughter?!"
Kageunsei nodded before turning to leave the room.
Kat watched him pad sighlently out of the room.
"I thought Suzaku was dead."
"She is, but she somehow managed to leave her… daughter… with us," Kat explained.
Tanya nodded, "Want to watch the ending OVAs?"
Kat fell over. 'How can she be so dense?'
She stood up and took the pup from Tanya, "Sure but you have to help me with my presents!"
"No prob!" Tanya said as she grabbed the pile of Kat's presents.
They stopped at Kat's room first and dropped off the small mountain of gifts.
Tanya's foot knocked over the box of wishes and a few spilled out.
Tanya grabbed the glowing balls before they could get away and stuffed them back into the box.
"Come on Tanya!" Kat said.
Tanya popped out of the room, "Sorry, just was picking up those glowing things. What are those anyway?"
"Kenshin gave them to me, they're wishes. Did you manage to pick all of them up?" Kat asked.
"I think so. Come on! I'm dying to watch this!" Tanya said.
Their clothes changed to kimonos upon entering the game room.
Tanya walked over to the DVD player and ripped off the plastic covering on the DVD she was holding.
Then she slipped the DVD into the player and joined Kat on the couch.
Kat put the pup in her lap and stared into the light blue green eyes.
They seemed oddly familiar but she couldn't place where she had seen them before.
The DVD of the ending OVAs began to play and Kat began to absently stroke the pup's wheat colored fur.
Tanya caught something sparkling out of the corner of her eye and saw the ring on Kat's finger.
She was about to ask what it was but Kat told her to keep quiet.
Tanya wondered if the ring was just a present or something much more important.
