In a wolf's eyes
WolfShadow01
The black wolf
"She's not my sister" That was it, I was furious, heartbroken, nervous, sad and scared and that's not a good combination, much less in a pregnant woman. Just as Naraku wanted, we ended fighting before my master took me away from him one more time and the last thing I heard coming from his lips was: "I swear I will kill that brat even if I have to kill you with him!" I felt more betrayed and alone than ever in my whole life.
We returned to the castle, just to be surrounded by its darkness. Naraku left me in the same smelly room, alone again. I spent my time thinking, torturing myself and remembering the times I used to be with my mother and the other wolves, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the brightness of the sun. Naraku rarely came to the room or called for me to do a job. These jobs were usually to obtain a shard some lowly youkai possessed. I missed the sun, the mountains, the snow, everything. All I knew here was darkness and loneliness. The months passed and my belly grew round, no sign of Inuyasha anywhere. I wasn't allowed to leave the castle nor even the room and the food was always brought by Kagura.
Everything was normal, if you can call this normal. Until the day I gave birth. I can say that it hurts, it really hurts. It was at midnight and I was all alone, as usual. When the contractions began, I started to scream and howl painfully, no one came. For the next morning Kagura brought the food I was laying on the ground, semi unconscious and with a little boy on my arms. He had black hair and a cute little black wolf tail, his eyes we blood red, like his father's and he had little pointed ears. "I see you did it well" said Kagura "I did what I could on myself" "Right, Naraku ordered everyone to ignore your howls during the night" "That's not a surprise" "I just hope your son don't grow up to be like his father" "He won't, I will make sure of that" "I hope you do or I will have to kill him" "Lay a hand upon him and I swear that you will be turned into so little pieces that even Naraku will not be able to absorb you again" "That's an angry mom" she laughed. Then she left the room. Days passed and no sign of either Inuyasha or Naraku. Finally, the last one dared to came into the room, his eyes staring at me and at the little pup in my arms. He got closer and told me to stand up. I did so and he kept staring at the sleeping child. "You better take care of him...while he still needs you" "I will master, he's mine too after all" "And why don't you go with your brother and introduce the pup to him?" that may have sounded like a question, but I knew it was an order. I left Naraku's territory and followed my nose to where Inuyasha was. He took a few minutes to detect me, but when he did, he put his hand close to his sword and a menacing growl escaped his lips as he saw the tiny creature I was carrying on my arms. "What are you doing here?" "I was ordered to come and introduce my pup to you Inuyasha" "If you brought that thing another step closer, I will kill it" "Why? He haven't done anything to you" "No, but he's Naraku's son" "So, would you judge him just because who his father is?" no answer. "Anyway, all I came to do was tell you that a new wolf has been born, the future leader of the north wolves' pack, a black wolf" I said before turning my back to him and getting away, returning my master. Inuyasha seemed a little curious and followed me, away from his friends to a forest where we could talk peacefully. "Why didn't you let me kill it?" that was a stupid question "Why should I?" "Because it's Naraku's son" "So what?" "That's enough reason for me to kill it?" "He hasn't done anything to anyone, and he won't" "How can you be so sure that it won't be like Naraku, an evil demon?" "I will raise him on a proper way" "And do you think that Naraku will let you? He will must surely take it away from you and raise him on his own way" "I will fight if it's necessary" I may have sounded brave, but I wasn't even sure of my own words "Really? Would you be able to fight your master? I don't think so" "Why?" "Because you haven't done it yet" He was right, even if I could fight Naraku, I would never be able to win. "I will try" "You will die and all because a stupid brat" "It's not his fault!" a sad look formed in his face "You're right, it's mine" I wanted to tell him that he was right, that it was his fault but something inside of me stopped me from doing so. "It's not, I was just angry when I told you that" Inuyasha got closer to me and patted the pup's head, I was really surprised "So, what's his name?" it was the first time he haven't referred to the pup as 'it', he had accepted the young child. "His name?" "Yeah, he has to have a name. Haven't you given him one?" "Not really. What would you propose?" "I don't know, you're the mother" "I will decide later" "You're not going to return with Naraku, are you?" "Even if I don't want to, I have to" "Why? Does the pup attach you to him?" "It's not that, it just...I have to" "And if you don't?" "He will come for me and hurt you and probably punish me again" silent tears began to fall from my eyes "What have he done to you? He destroyed that fighter spirit of yours, he made you submit. I can't believe my own eyes" "You don't have the less idea of what I have passed through" "The tell me" "I don't want to. I better go now" he tried to stop me but I evaded him again as I started my way back to the darkness. The thought of Inuyasha's words came back to me. He was right when he said Naraku broke my spirit and he was right when he said my son needed a name. I was thinking about some names in the way back, but I couldn't decide and it was obvious that the father wouldn't give his opinion. I arrived at the sunset, no sign of Naraku but I already knew what to do. I went back to my room and sat on the corner looking at the blood red eyes of my pup, who had just woken. "How should I name you little one?" a giggle was his response as he played with one of my fingers. Suddenly, a name crossed my mind "I know. I will name you Seikou. How does it sounds to you?" another giggle and a confused look was all he did. "Well, it's set now, you're name is Seikou"
