In a wolf's eyes
WolfShadow01
Finally free
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 needs 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"
Two years passed since that. Seikou have spent all his short life in the same room and he saw his father just a few times. Naraku still ignored him, as if his son didn't exist. I have saw Inuyasha just a couple of times but I knew his battles with Naraku were increasing and that, sooner or later, my brother would destroy my master. To my own surprise, that time arrived soon.
Author's note: I will skip the details of the battle since the story is in Aika's P.O.V. and she didn't see it
It was late in the night and I was slept when a strange noise were heard all over the castle, like explosions. The ground moved as if we were in the middle of an earthquake and the roof of the room began to collapse. I wrapped Seikou in my arms to protect him and he started crying. About 5 minutes later, it was over. No sounds, no movements and not a single creature around. I got out of the roof remains in which I was trapped and saw that the entire castle was gone. There were obvious marks of a battle but who could have defeated Naraku? The answer was in front of me. The ground was covered with strange marks, like cuts. It could just have been Inuyasha's wind scar.
I turned my head to the scared pup in the ground at my side, I carried him on my arms "We're free now Sei" the pup was no more that 2 years old but being a wolf youkai he grew up faster than human pups or other kind of youkai. "Does that mean we can go out mom?" "Yes" the poor kid have never saw the sunlight nor the flowers nor the mountains, nothing else than that room "And where are we going?" "Anywhere Sei, anywhere away from here" "Won't master Naraku came for us and punish us if we escape?" the kid was taught to refer to his own father as 'master' by Naraku's minions and he was also taught never to disobey Naraku or he would be severely punished "Naraku is dead now, you don't have to worry about him anymore" I patted his head, trying to comfort him "Dead? Who killed him?" "Your uncle" "So, we're free thanks to uncle Inu" I have told him about his 'uncle Inu' several times and he thought of Inuyasha as some kind of hero "That's right" "Can we go to see him?" he said bating his tail "No" I wanted Seikou to met Inuyasha but I was not sure of how Inuyasha would react, he have never liked the idea of Seikou's existence "Why not, mom?" "Because I say so and stop complaining" "Okay, so where are we going then?" "To the mountains....the north mountains" I wanted to go there but I was not allowed to anymore so Seikou and I traveled from one place to another. The kid was so happy and alive and always anxious to know more things. He used to make himself pass as a blind human child, with his eyes closed, and went to the villages to play with other kids or to ask the elders questions about the whole world. I was happy just by looking at him, so alive and with a burning spirit just as I used to be in other times.
