~Took longer for me to update this time. I have to say though... If the
chapters are really crappy, it's because that's how I feel. I've been
having the worst allergy attack of all time, which, with my luck, will
probably morph into a cold....*sighs* So, here's the chapter.~
End of Days
By Alpha Parvani
********
I had a grand time with Shiro at the wolf den. The wolves all adored him, especially the females...but then there was Koga. Ah, dear, dear Koga. But, before I could initially tell you what Koga's reactions to Shiro's actions are...
********
"Please stop crying..."
"I told you, begging him won't work..."
Loud wails echoed through the entire den.
I sighed and stood up. 'I knew I shouldn't have left him with Ginta and Hakkaku.' Pinpointing the two wolves' location, I went to them, watching them try to comfort my son. "You guys are pathetic." They jumped and spun around, looking at me in panic. "Inuyasha-nii-san! We, we...ano..." I laughed. "Don't worry about it. Just give me Shiro." The two wolves blinked, then grinned sheepishly before handing Shiro over.
Shiro gurgled and clapped his hands together. He was growing up...as fast as a full youkai pup would. He already looked like he was a year old, even though he was only half that age.
I carefully tossed him in the air just a little, and caught him again. His response was to squeal and laugh as I walked outside. As I made my way up to the top of the mountain, taking the long way--- the path---, I put a one finger in Shiro's mouth for him to chew on, careful not to scratch him with my claws. I winced when he bit down with the tip of a tiny fang. 'His teeth are growing in already? Sheesh.'
I was surprised to find my spot at the top of the waterfall already occupied... by Koga. He was too deep in thought (or sleep) to notice me when I approached, so I took the opportunity for what it was. I walked by, setting Shiro in his lap. Koga made an odd strangled noise of surprise, pulling Shiro against him so the pup would roll away and hurt himself. I gave the wolf prince a charming smile before attacking the knot on my haori (I will never let the women tie this string again), one ear trained on Koga and my son.
Koga was bouncing Shiro on his knee gently, still distracted. I glanced behind me as I was folding up my clothes. "He's going to-" There was a shriek of pain from Koga, "-bite you."
Koga held Shiro in one arm, looking over a bite mark on the wrist of his other arm. "He bites hard. And those little fangs..." Koga put a finger in Shiro's mouth, rubbing the pup's gums. "They should be fully grown in by..." I shrugged. "Sometime next week, I believe." Shiro growled at Koga and pawed at his chest armor. Koga made an odd face and shook his head. "I'm no bitch. You go to your father. He'll feed you." I laughed and held out a jar Kagome had given to me, telling me to fill it with a powdered food... Somehow I had figured it out, making the powder into a liquid, even though it would have been easier to feed Shiro in a natural way.
With Inuyoukai, when the mother of a pup is killed or unable to produce milk, the father could make his body produce it. I told Kagome this before I had left and she had told me just to give Shiro the formula, because it had more nutrients. I agreed, slightly reluctant.
At the sight of the jar, with it's plastic nipple, Shiro started squirming to get away from Koga, his hands reaching out for the jar. I laughed and went to him. Koga gave me a gentle smile, which I returned. Shiro pulled on my hand, trying to get the jar. I let him have it, making sure he was holding it tightly before letting go. Koga ran his fingers through Shiro's hair, tenderly rubbing his little dog ears. I could tell the wolf prince loved the pup. He looked up at me, curious. "Weren't you going to bathe?" I nodded, a small smile on my face, pressing a shy kiss to Koga's cheek before returning to the river. I kicked off my hakama and pants, leaving on only my loincloth.
The water was wonderous.
But some people just don't get the message.
The "Leave me ALONE" message.
A squeal of surprise and a cry of outrage brought me back to the surface after a dive. I spluttered, choking on the water, then pushed my hair out of my face. The scene that met my eyes terrified me.
Koga was on the ground, bleeding from a cut on his forehead.
The jar was tossed aside.
Sesshomaru was holding my son.
With an enraged snarl, I stormed out of the river, ready to tear my brother limb from limb. If he harmed one hair on Shiro...
"So this is my nephew I heard of from the monk." I stopped. "Nani?" Sesshomaru looked at me, his face as stoical as usual. "I just recently discovered I have a nephew." I shifted from one foot to the other, my fists clenching and unclenching in nervousness. "Yeah well... give him back." Sesshomaru ignored me.
"Hanyou. Disgusting, but better than only having a quarter of our blood. He would have been even more of a target then. I'm personally tempted to destroy him now, to ensure that no quarter breeds are born." I growled darkly. "Don't even think about it, asshole." My brother tapped Shiro on the forehead. The pup whimpered. I stumbled forward a step. Sesshomaru's hand flashed a faint green in warning. I growled even louder and went rigid. "You think you could stop me, little brother?" A faint smile appeared on Sesshomaru's face, "What is his name?"
I ground my teeth together. "Shirohingetsu." Sesshomaru nodded. "White half moon. I suppose that is his... human night?" I saw my half- brother's lip curl slightly in disgust. "Perhaps."
Sesshomaru looked at me again, slight anger in his eyes. "Keep his existence quiet. I don't want it to be known I'm family to two halfbreeds." He set Shiro on the ground and vanished.
I ran to my son, lifting him up and cradling him close to me. Koga carefully crawled over and reached out to put his hand on my shoulder. I snarled and swiped at him with my claws. He scrambled backwards, barely avoiding losing his nose. I lowered my hand, gave Koga an apologetic look, and then turned my attentions back to the wailing pup in my arms.
'Keep Shiro's existence quiet, he says. Keh. Shiro will be as well known as any youkai. I don't care what my bastard brother says...'
~Crappy, crappy chapter. Oh well. Sorry it took so long... I've been uber busy, got sick on Wednesday, but now I'm good and I'm starting to get back into the swing of things. Yeehaw! R&R!
