"Life can be so cruel sometimes." I sighed.
"How so?" Fenri asked, shifting onto his side to stari down at me.
"Well, one day I'm an orphan, I fall through a well, land in a totally different era, get attacked, get SAVED, travel with a hanyou, become a hanyou myself, be found by my aunt AND cousin, get brought back HERE only to find out I'm their Pack Leader AND I have NINE FREAKIN BROTHERS!"
"Hmmm, not your everyday occurance?" he dodged a pillow aim at his face.
"NO! NOT your everyday occurance!" I smiled, "But, then again, I wouldn't have it any other way." I kissed his cheek and got up, stretching. He sighed and started getting dressed as was I.
"So what does my mate have planned today?"
"Well, I WAS going to spend some time with my brothers, you know, get to know them. But unfortunatly Merl's coming, so-," someone knocked at the door, "Come in Merl."
Merl stepped in, "There is someone requesting your presence, Circes."
"Auntie, who is it THIS time?" I sighed.
She smiled, "Its Omen. Says his business is for your ears only."
I rolled my eyes, "Tell him I'll be there shortly." Merl left.
"What does HE want."
"I have no clue, but his scent is distressed." I pulled my hair back into a braid, and we left.
We raced down the halls for fun, not at top speed of course, but fast enough. We reached the Grat Hall even before my brothers.
[They always keep insisting on being here whenever someone comes calling.]
[Cautious maybe?] Fenri suggeted.
"Omen! How are you?" I smiled at him.
He remained, as ever, emotionless, "I am fine, Circes. I have come with a request."
I arched an eyebrow at him, "A request, is it?"
Gekisen shot forth from a door, "This pack takes no such requests from anyone." he glared at Omen.
I, in tern, glared at Gekisen, "Brother dear?" the rest of my brothers entered the Hall, "Could you come here, please?" he eyed me suspicioucly, "Come!" I pointed to a spot near me. He obiediantly came.
*WHACK* "Hey!" he retreated out of range, rubbing the back of his head.
"Do you want a twin to that? No? Then be QUIET." I focused on Omen, "I donot know if I will help you, but I will listen to your request." I sat back, arms steepled with my chin resting on my fingers.
He bowed, "Thank you, Circes." some people seemed surprised by his bowing to me.
"Its no troule, Omen." I smiled.
"I need your help."
"The Great Son of the Great Sesshoumoru needs MY help? Pray tell me how?"
"There is a great Evil army of youkai from where, we do not know, approaching here. I have maps with me to assist." he pulled out a map and laid it carefully on the floor. I walked over to the map, as did my brothers. He began showing us sighting of the youkai, and where they originally came from. We spent hours on these maps, discussing the Evil youkai.
I finally spoke up, "We will help you. There army seems to be planning a take over of ALL Japan."
"Thank you, Lady of the Eastern Lands."
"Ah. Now I know why I am awarded such respect. Eastern lands, eh?" I arched an eyebrow at him.
"Tis your title, as is his." he motioned to Ferni.
"Only Lord, not Lady." he pointed out.
"Hai."
"I think I'll take fenri and my brothers to aid you. That should be enough for now."
"No offense, little sister, but we should take more than that." Gekisen countered.
"Oh really? And how many would YOU take brother mine?"
"As many able bodied men as we can." he puffed up proudly.
His ego has GOT to go... "And what if they strike HERE while we're away? We'd have NO home to come home to. Not to mention I don't really think we NEED everyone here. It looks like a relativley small group of really strong ones and a massive amount of weak ones. We should be all that's neccesssary." I turned towards Merl, "I will leave you in command until my return, Merl." I stood, "Gentlemen, I suggest you get ready, we leave in 30 minutes." I turned on my heel, back to my rooms to pack.
Gekisen deflated, "Thought to show her up did ya? Didn't work! Didn't Work! didntworkdidntworkdidntwoooooooork!!!" Genkisugiru chanted, while jumping up and down and up and down...
He grabed him by the throat, "Don't make me kill you." Genkisugiru laughed, bounding away from an astonished Gekisen.
"Na na na na boo boo! You can't catch me!" and off he went, Gekisen running behind, trying to catch the poor hyper kid.
