Love's Strength
Ch. 1 Shao-Lin, the born demon princess
"wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-" came the cry of a newborn.
"Shhhhhh, there, there my pup every things alright." said a feminine voice to her child, cradling the newborn gently and lovingly
In came three girls and seven young men followed by an older man, they all gathered around the woman and pup, smiling and cooing at the pup all the while congratulating the women.
"Goku, look she's has your ears." said the woman to her mate
"Oh she's sooooooooooooo cute!" came the voice of their 2nd daughter Kieone
"She has such a beautiful complexion, like mother!" said their 3rd daughter Ayeka
"We'll get to teach her how to be a lady." said the 1st daughter named Aaya
"She looks like a brat." came the voice of their 5th son Trunks
"Yea an adorable brat." said their 6th son Rath as he touched her ears
"Look she got the tail!" exclaimed their 1st son Tamahome
"She's beautiful." said their 2nd son Kenshin as he looked at the newborn pup
"She's going to be a looker when she gets older." said Gohan their 3rd son
"HaHa, yea she will. Watch out Aaya, our little sister's coming through." laughed Goten their 4th son
"Hmph whatever." said Aaya as she flipped her hair back
"I don't care how beautiful they think she is I'll kill them for even looking at her." said their 7th son Kyo as he crossed his arms
"Giggle my children go on and wait outside for us, please tell us when Helios is here k?" asked the woman
Once they were gone Goku bent down and gave his mate a sweet kiss earning a small purr from her.
"Goku, what do you think she'll be like?" asked the women
"I don't know Serena, but...she's beautiful just like her mother." Goku said nuzzling her cheek
"My love what shall her name be?" asked Serena
"Hmmmmmmmmm." Goku thought as he looked at his daughter, then his eyes fell upon the moon outside the window its light bathing his pup in goddess-like beauty
"Shao, its perfect." he said looking at his mate and daughter
"Lin, how bout that. Shao Lin." Serena said nuzzling her pup lovingly
"Shao Lin? Moonlight Rose, its most fitting. She is a Moonlight Rose." said Goku as he patted the hair a top the pup's head
"It's exciting, what kind of princess." said Serena
"Mother, Father, Helios has arrived." came Tamahome as he opened the door
"Oh, we should go Goku. It's time to introduce our daughter to the Kingdom love." Serena said getting up with the help of her mate.
Once outside they let Helios take the pup and smiled at Serena and Goku and walked outside followed by the parents. He walked to a temple and placed the pup on the pedestal, the whole kingdom was gathered around the temple. Helios raised his hands for silence. He then stuck his hand in some water and sprinkled it over her, the moon shone upon the pup once more.
"Great Spirits come!
A pup has been born,
Present her with your gifts,
Her name is Shao Lin Himura.
Grace her with your presence Great Spirits,
Give her your protection oh mighty ones!"
The wind blew hard and the water hit the edges of cliffs with excitement.
Then came loud voices:
"Shao Lin Himura, pup born of the moon.
Child born of Serena and Goku,
We are the Great Spirits.
You are under our protection
You are the one that will be known as 'the one that has no rival'
We will present you with gifts 'one that has no rival'"
"I am Suzaku spirit of the south
I present you with unrivaled beauty
That you may have the beauty of the moon itself
and that of a beautiful pink rose."
"I am Seiyu spirit of the west
I present you with unrivaled power
That you may have the power of a thousand armies
This I give you with pride."
"I am Genbu spirit of the north
I present you with unrivaled wisdom
That you may have the wisdom of a thousand scholars

"I am Byoko spirit of the east

That you may have the strength that matches but one

"I am Pegasus spirit of Elysion
I present you with an unrivaled voice

"I, Suzaku, give you the power of fire
the power to do well or bad with it
use your power to your wishing young one."
And with that they were gone, Helios picked up the pup and held her so that all could see and said:
"This is your new princess! Shao Lin Illuzer Kimiko Sahoma Himura!"
Applause were heard and Helios gave the pup back to Serena and Goku, they walked to their castle and were walking up the stairs, Shao Lin asleep in her father's arms. Once they were there she laid the pup in her bed and went to join her mate on their own.
"My love you seem extremely happy about this pup, it's not like she's our only daughter or is it because she is the second to be blessed with an element power?" Goku asked holding his mate
"Its not that Goku, its I don't know but I feel like she too might be 'cursed' like Kyo I just feel I need to protect them more then the other pups. If she is I still love her the same she's my pup just like my other pups. And she's just too adorable!" She squealed looking at her mate
"Hahahahaha, yea she is. She looks like her mother." he said to his mate lying down
"She has your ears, tail, and hair my mate." Serena said hugging him
"Hahahahaha, my love we need to sleep tomorrow we have a long day." Goku said
"What are we doing tomorrow?" Serena asked
"Tomorrow we meet Shao Lin's future mate. He's one year. " Goku answered
"Oh, what's his name? What's his parents like?" She asked looking at him
"Remember Inu Tashio and his mate Izyoi?" He asked looking back at his mate
"Yes I do they seemed so happy, they are so cute together." Serena said in excitement
"Well, they had a pup remember? And his name is Inuyasha, Inu Tashio and I have arranged for them to wed when they are of age." Goku said
"Hmmmmmmmmm, Shao Lin Illuzer Kimiko Sahoma Himura, my pup you will be great one day." she said as she fell asleep.
But, will this happiness last? What will happen with this young princess?
