3 months later...
A large black and red wolf is running in a forest, followed closely by a red dog like thing, with braids in it's fur, the black and red wolf, slows down, and sniffs the ground, looking up at the large trees around him and his female companion (A/N: Nanaki/Red-XIII is a girl in this fic) follows his line of sight to a huge tree in a clearing up ahead, it is almost 11 at night, and the wolf and his red friend had been searching all day, following the scent of high acidic value, and this larger than the rest tree had the scent surrounding it, the person they were looking for was most likely in there.
But before they could get any closer, a large shadow fell down in front of them, a large black furred, with white spots, leopard, with large obsidian wings, glared down at them, and spoke quietly, yet with much power, "Who are you and what do you want with my home?" The crimson eyes of the black and red wolf looked up at this large feline of power, and his form shifted, showing a long, jagged cut, black haired, wearing red and black leather outfit, in a kneeling bow to the large feline.
"My apologies, Lady Guardian of this forest, I was looking for the source of the highly acidic scent, known as Mako, that is in your home over there, would you allo-", He spoke to the large cat, but before he could finish, a small voice was heard, interrupting him. "Miiiiiiwwwwrrrrraaaaaa, W're d'ya 'o?", and following the sound of the voice, the man and his red dog looked over seeing a young girl, with extremely bed head messy silver hair, pulling a fur blanket behind her, walking towards the large feline. The cat, in response, ran over to her, and held her wing in front of her in a protective stance. The girl then curled up next to the feline, and by the looks of it, fell asleep.
The man and his dog companion, looked at each other, then the girl, then back at each other multiple times before saying, "Sephiroth?!" The feline looked at them with wide eyes before looking around the clearing before speaking, "Follow me..." And with that, she wrapped the girl with the fur, and picked her up with her mouth, and carried her towards the tree.
The man and his dog companion, looked at each other and shrugged, following the Guardian, slowly, yet cautious, into the hidden entrance of the tree, which lead into a large cavern, covered with fur blankets, pillows, and a lot of smaller creatures. The Guardian sat the girl in a pile of furs, next to a resting nekomata with white wings. Then she laid down next to them, covering them with her wing protectively, and motioned with her large paw for them to sit down on the ground. Light increased slightly in the cavern, by glowing crystals lining the walls.
"First, Introductions are in order, I am LunaMira, Guardian of the Winged Nekomata, and this sacred section of the forests. And you are?", Spoke the large Guardian, and with that, the man spoke, "I am Vincent Valentine, Chaos Guardian" "As in one of the Goddess Minerva's Planet Weapon/Guardians?", asked LunaMira, looking incredulous. Vincent nodded, and then the red dog with him spoke, "I am Nanaki.", Is all she said. Looking around at the room.
"So I am guessing the one you are looking for is this little girl?", LunaMira states, lifting her wing slowly, showing the sleeping girl. Vincent, looks at her, and slowly leans forward, looking at LunaMira for permission. She sees something in his eyes that prompts her to nod her head, letting him get close to the girl she had come to care for in the past few months. Thinking back to that day 3 months ago...
3 months prior, LunaMira's POV...
I was worried, Lyra should have been back by now. She left over an hour ago, and in that time I think I might have paved a new path in the forest with my pacing, oops... Then I smell something, blood, OH NO! I rush towards the scent, to find a young girl, with horrid looking clothes, carrying a coyote carcass over her shoulder, the girl smells of Mako, the life blood of the planet, and next to her is my little Lyra, I yell out to her, and she looks over to see me and screams, flying over to me with unbidden joy, and says, "Mira!" She hugs my leg, crying, trying to tell me what happened, but I couldn't make out much, except that this girl saved her, and that we have coyote for dinner.
The girl looks at me with a sad look in her eyes, which look similar to my own, except they glow green, instead of my bright blue. Lyra looks at her, and motions her over, she walks over to me slowly, as if unsure what to think of me, she slowly lowers the coyote, and goes into a kneel, and says with a very scratchy voice, as if it's barely been used, causing me to look at her very closely, seeing what I hoped I wouldn't, signs of abuse and neglect. "Hello Lady Guardian, it is a pleasure to be in your presence."
I look at her with a look of unbidden surprise, not many would do this, most humans would attack me and my kind first, so I know this one is okay. "No need to bow or kneel young one, my name is LunaMira, but every one calls me Mira, what is your name little one?", I speak, seeing a flinch at being addressed as a child. "Cyren Lily Potter." She responds with.
I look at her, as she has yet to stand, so I go over, and grab her by her rag like clothes and carry her towards my home, ignoring her protests, and I tell Lyra to get the others to get the coyote. After a while the girl stops fighting and just sits still, which prompts me to run faster to my home.
Once we reach my large tree, I take her into the inside and set her down and look at her sternly, she looks back at me, as if accepting her fate, I then surprise her by asking her her story. She looks dumbfounded, but then speaks slowly, with her scratchy voice, and tells me about her relatives, how the Goddess Minerva came to her, and the highlights of her past life, though leaving a lot out, but I did not push, but sat and listened, as did the other Winged Nekomata, that had been listening in. And then I asked her, "Would you like to live here? Cyren, or Sephiroth?"
She looks up and thinks on it for a bit, then nods her head vigorously, and like that she took a spot in my heart, for ever and always.
Back to the Present...Normal POV...
Vincent looks at the silver haired girl, and reaches over to card a hand through her hair, tears stinging his eyes, as if sensing him, she looks up at him with eyes, glowing green with cat slits, blurred with sleep, and says, "Fat'r?" Her voice obviously slurred with sleep. But after seeing him react, she pulls herself over to him and curls up in his lap, dragging the same fur she had earlier, and going back to sleep.
LunaMira was snickering at his face, which showed his obvious surprise. Nanaki cooing at him, as his face heats up from embarrassment. "You might as well go and curl up to sleep, she is probably not going to let you go anywhere anytime soon. And I am tired as well, we had a long day today, Sephi trained heavily with Lyra, Mikou, and Rika, so she is understandably tired, you may both spend the night, and we will talk more on the morrow.", LunaMira said laying down and closing her eyes, Nanaki and Vincent nodded, and curled up around each other to sleep.
The Next Day... Unknown POV...
"Sephi...This is a bad idea"
"I concur."
"I agree with Sephi, it would be funny."
"Mikou is the only one of you that has a sense of humor." I say, lifting the bucket of water over my head, and dumping it on Vincent, waking him up. He looked up at me bewildered, blinking the last bits of sleep from his eyes, I smirk down upon him, and then stick my tongue out, and leg it out of the burrow. Mikou snickering behind me flying alongside me, as Rika runs after us, and Lyra flies out and hovers over the entrance to the burrow, looking down at the chaos, and sighing.
I laugh as Vincent, my father, comes out, soaking wet, and trugdes over to where I have fallen over in my mirth, looks down at me with his crimson eyes, scowling, as I still laugh, because he looks like a drowned puppy. Then he drops down on the ground next to me, pulls me into a hug, and cries a bit, I will admit, my eyes did get a bit misty.
Nanaki followed him out and cooed, and so did Mira, who was watching from the tree going on and on about how cute I was. I growled and yelled at them, "I'm not cute!" And with that, everyone was laughing.
After all of that, I sat down and told my father about my life, and had to stop him from going and out right killing the Dursleys, because, dammit, I called dibs! And he told me how he and Cloud ( I stiffened when he mentioned that.) Had become Planet Weapons/Guardians, and had been awake for the last 200 years, having been told that the Goddess would be giving me, and a handful of others, a chance to live life, and for me and Genesis, a chance to become Weapons as well. I took this in stride, and asked if he knew anything about a guy going by the name of Voldemort.
He looked shocked at that question, but then I told him my birth name, and he tensed, I asked him what was up. And he told me I was a famous witch.
"Fuck my Life.", I said putting my head in my hands. This is going to be an interesting life.
