Chapter 2
To lose a brother: To Lose a Mate
***Flashback conut.. *** ****But then it happened. Once my brother gave out the orders, he resumed his attack to get to Naraku. From somewhere behind me a very large boomerang sliced a path for my brother. I looked on to the battle around me, but I couldn't see the owner of the weapon. My attention was brought back to me suddenly when I heard Naraku yell out "FUUJIN NO MAI!!" The Wind Blades struck my brother everywhere, but it didn't stop him. He had angry fire in his golden eyes as he brought down his sword.
"I'm going to rip your damn arms off!!" I heard him scream. Then he just stood still, with his weapon still in the air. I saw Naraku say something to him, but I couldn't hear it. Next thing I saw was a tentacle sticking out from his back while another wrapped 'round his neck.
"Kukukukukuku..you stupid dog.Do you really think you can defeat me." Naraku said with a smirk on his lips. He was about to say something more, but didn't get a chance as my swords blade cleaved him from head to foot. I glared at his remains before turning my attention back to my brother. I walked carefully to the motionless form of him, trying to see any signs of life. I found it, but it was very faint. I knew he would not survive this battle.
"G-gomen..I-I d-didn't want.t-to." He spit up some blood as he tried to speak. I wiped it away with my hand.
"Brother. Don't speak now.save your strength."
"G-gomen.brother for-." He whipered, then breathed no more.
"NOOOOO!!" I roared to the heavens. I lookes around me as the battle was still ragging on. Even though Naraku is dead, demons blood still boils for bloodshed. But, before I resume into the battle, I picked up the brother sword of my own.
"Brother, I will not let our father's line die or our lands taken." I vowed to his lifeless form. I gave a quick glance to where I knew my mate was at and then gave an all mighty howl of rage. "I will end this now!!" I said to my self before jumping back into the battle.
*****End of Flashback****
Kouga turned and left. I returned my gaze back to the horizon, as the dawn of a new day began. I have a clearer view now of the land before me. The ground, stained horribly with blood. It will be a few rainy seasons for it to start to ebb away. No matter. My lands are safe once again.
Now, on to more important matters. I leapt down the face of the cliff I was on, landing softly a moment later on my feet. I made my way to the only body that was still on the battle field. My brothers. I stopped at his head and looked down at his bloodied body. His shining white coat was stained with his blood. A gapping hole in his chest made me cringe. There was a tentacle still around his neck. I kicked it away. I grasped both the swords into my hands, staring into his face. I brushed my hand over his eyes to close them.
"It is over now, my brother. Our father's line will prevail and our lands will be kept safe.Trust.devotion.loyalty and bond, old and new will be strengthened forever more. I shall take your pup as unto my own and teach it the ways of our Clan. I shall see to it the pup will grow up knowing of its father's legend and how he fought bravely with the up most honor till he was slain. Your pup will become just as strong, powerful and beautiful as you were brother. And then when the time is right, your sword shall be passed on to your pup, just as our swords were passed to us by our father."
The last of my army, which is just a handle full now, along with the remaining Clans: The blacks, Browns and Grays, which are also just a few, surrounded my brother and myself. I knelt down beside him with a single tear running down my cheek unchecked. I then threw my head back in a howl that signified my mourning. The others around us joined in as well. They too, feel the great pain I feel. We stood there, howling as one as the dawn of the new day continued on.
When it finally ended, I buried my brother. When the task was completed, I gave a growl/bark. I waited a moment, and then Kouga answered my call. I excused myself from the others and made my way to the secret cave. The others waited a while, and then followed me.
Just before I got to the entrance of the cave, a female bitch approached me quickly in her true form. I recognized her as one of the bitches from Kougas tribe.
"My lord, you must hurry. You mate has been laboring for a while and is calling for you." She said hurriedly.
My eyes widened as I stood there. 'Oh Kami.has time really gone by that quickly. I have been so busy with my brother planning for the upcoming battle with Naraku, that I didn't realize the loss of time. On Gods, how I love her. She has been so patient with me through all of this hell.and now she's about to bless me by bringing in our first born into the world.' I think to myself as I run past the bitch, straight to my laboring mate's side.
"Koi..Doushita?" I ask her while placing her hand into my own.
"H-hai. It's painful, but it is worth it to bear your pup." She said as her face contorts in pain. So much is happening so fast, that all I can do is just stand there beside her.
An older woman approached my mate's legs and gently pushed them open. I recognized her as one of the servants from the palace. She gave us a small smile with eyes that shone brightly and full of wisdom for a woman her age and she told my mate to push. Rin had hold of her other hand as she kept encouraging her to go on.
My eyes then turn downward to her swollen belly, I frown. She does not know yet of her mates passing, my brother. Once things have calmed down a bit with the birth of my pup, I will talk with her.
A soft whimpering cry of a newborn rose sweetly through the chamber we were in, brought me out of my thoughts.
"You have a son, sire." The old woman with shining gray hair said. She held the newborn pup up for me to see. He was still slick with blood from the birthing and still attached to the cord. I used my clawed finger to cut my son free of his mother. She then placed him upon my mate's chest and he began to suckle at her breast. I bent down, placed a loving kiss upon her lips and told her thank you, I love you.
Once things settled, I excused myself and left Rin to care for my family till I returned. I made my way out of the cave to where the rest of the Clans were at.
"Rise my friends, come and see. For this is a great day for the White Clan. My son has come at last!" The White Lord of the Western Lands exclaimed.
Hesitantly, the Clans made their way into where the infant was located. Exclamations of surprise marked their faces.
"By Kami... He is not human at all!!" Exclaimed the Black Daimyo leader.
"White as the snow, from head to toe!" Marveled the Brown Daimyo leader.
"He is a fine heir to the White Clan." Commented the Gray Daimyo leader.
"What shall his name be?" Asked Rin in a quiet voice. I looked up from my son and smiled fondly.
"This pup, my son, from this time on shall be known as. Koru." I picked him up, holding him close to my chest.
"Hail Koru, Prince of the Western Lands!!" The entire gathering cried
"I'm going to rip your damn arms off!!" I heard him scream. Then he just stood still, with his weapon still in the air. I saw Naraku say something to him, but I couldn't hear it. Next thing I saw was a tentacle sticking out from his back while another wrapped 'round his neck.
