In a wolf's eyes
WolfShadow01
Meeting the black wolf
"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.
We were living a happy life together, away from all the pain Naraku have caused us. The days and weeks passed and we kept traveling until, without noticing, we reached Inuyasha's forest. When I finally realized where we were, it was too late, we were just in front of the Sacred Tree and Inuyasha was resting in one of its branches. Seikou hadn't seen Inuyasha nor he had seen us, but Seikou was able to smell him "I smell youkai, mom and human too" I tried to make him stay quiet but the child never saved his thoughts for himself. Inuyasha heard him and turned his head to us. At first he growled at the sight of two invaders in his territory but, when he realized it was me, a surprised look formed in his face. "A-Aika, it's you" he hadn't even seen Seikou "Yes Inuyasha, I'm here brother" "How...I thought you died" "What? Why would I die?" "Well, when we were fighting Naraku, he told us he had already killed you before he died" "That bas..." I remembered Seikou was there and I didn't want my son to learn that kind of vocabulary "What's wrong with you?" Inuyasha made a confused puppy look. Just then he saw the little thing hidden behind my legs "What's that?" "Come on Sei, get out of there I thought you wanted to met Inuyasha" the pup didn't need a second command as he got out of his hiding place "Is he uncle Inu?" "Uncle Inu?" Seikou climbed up in Inuyasha's head and started playing with his ears "Curious, look mom uncle Inu have funny ears" I quickly took him away and apologized with Inuyasha "You're a little annoyance sometimes Sei, apologize now" "I'm sorry I played with your ears uncle Inu" "No problem pup. Now please tell me Aika that he's not who I think he is" "That depends of who do you think he is" "You-know-who son, is he?" "Naraku's...yes, he is" "You will still defend him, won't you?" "Of course I will, he's my son" "Please, don't make us start fighting....again" "Don't treat him like a criminal" "I'm not treating anyone like a criminal, I barely know him. Anyway, did you name him or will I have to be calling him 'pup'" I was surprised Inuyasha was accepting my son "His name is Seikou" "Seikou? Where did you get that name? I think I like 'pup' better" "Hey! I don't remember you suggested a name, so don't complain" "Easy mom, I'm not saying it's that bad I just think there are some better names" Seikou had stopped paying attention to our little talk and went to the Sacred Tree to play around it "Tell me one" "Let me think...Inuyasha, that sounds a lot better" "You don't have the less idea, do you" "No...hey, your pup is about to fall from the top of the Sacred Tree" "What?" three second later Seikou was falling. Inuyasha caught him and I scolded him "I just wanted to see the place from a higher spot" "You could have told me you were going to climb a tree" "But you were busy discussing with uncle Inu and it was so boring that I got tired of listening" "You're right, it's Inuyasha's fault" "Hey, why mine?" "Because you were distracting me" "Yeah, sure. Want to come to the village and eat something" "The truth is that we have to keep going but...." "We will go with you uncle Inu!" Seikou didn't give me a chance to finish "Fine, this way" We followed Inuyasha to the village were his friend were, they saw us and came to receive me "Aika, we thought you were dead, thanks heaven it was not true" said Kagome "We missed you Aika" said Sango "Yes, it's really nice to have you back, Lady Aika" none of them have noticed Seikou until Shippou went in front of him and starred at him with a curious look "Hey! You're younger than me, want to play with me?" Everyone turned to see the black fur ball hidden behind me "Who's that" said Kagome. I remembered that they never saw him nor knew I had been pregnant, if Inuyasha haven't told them. I carried Seikou and put him in front of them "Guys, I want to introduce you my son, Seikou" "Your son?!!" they said all at unison "Yes, he's mine" "May I ask who's the one so lucky as to have a son with you, Lady Aika" "First, he's not lucky since he's dead and to give you a clue of who's him, you're the ones who killed him" a confused look formed in their faces. Kagome was the first to notice Seikou's blood red eyes "He's not Naraku's, right Aika?" "I'm sorry to tell you, but yes, he's Naraku's" They were all speechless "It's not that bad, you know?" Inuyasha, to our surprise, was defending Seikou "Well, you're right. It doesn't care who his father is, as long as he's different from him" Sango said with a smile "Thank you guys, I promise you he will be different from Naraku" "And what do you said was his name?" asked Miroku, looking curiously at the pup "Seikou" "Well, hi Seikou, my name's Miroku and I guess I'm kind of your uncle" "Like uncle Inu?" asked the pup, talking for the first time since we arrived to the village "Uncle Inu?" asked all and started laughing, Inuyasha was as red as his haori "Stop it already" "Sorry Inuyasha, but he made you sound so...cute" "Feh!" finally they stopped laughing "I'm your aunt Sango, it's nice to meet you Seikou" "It's nice to meet you too, Lady Sango" he sounded like Miroku "And I'm Kagome, I guess you can call me aunt too" "Yes, and I'm Shippou, and I'm your cousin" Kirara just mewled behind Shippou "Oh, and she's Kirara. She wants to be your cousin too!" "Wow, I managed to get two uncles, two aunties and two cousins in the same day" "Aren't you happy Sei?" I asked "Of course I'm happy mom" We entered Kaede's hut, she was also surprised that I was alive and with a little child. We ate peacefully and Seikou, Shippou and Kirara spent the whole day playing outside.
