Legends of the Moon

Chapter Three

 

 

          Sasuke hides up in a tree while a pink haired little girl runs around looking for him.   The branch he is sitting on dips.   Sasuke looks to his side to see his twin sitting next to him.   ‘What are you hiding up here for?’   He asked.   Sasuke’s eyes look down at the girl.   ‘Is she bugging you again?’

          ‘Yes, and it’s getting annoying.’   Sasuke tells him through their link.   His tail bristles showing his annoyance.

          ‘Let me fix this.’   Sai jumps down and lands right in front of the pink haired cat.   She shrieks out of fright.   When she saw it was him she glares at him then smacks him.

          “Don’t do that, Sai.”   She then takes a deep breath.   “Have you seen Sasuke?”   She asks hopefully.   He looks at her with his emotionless face.

          “Why do you always hang onto him?”   Sai asks.

          “Because, I like him.”   She answered with a blush covering her cheeks.   Sai looked at her with not one hint of emotion on his face.

          “Well, stop.   It gets annoying.”   Her face held shock.

          “Why should I listen to an emotionless freak like you?”   She asked as a vein starts pulsing on her forehead.

          “Because I’m his twin and protector.   I was borne into this role.”   He turns to the side.   “Sakura, you are younger than us so there is no way you could be with him anyway.   An ugly woman should never even have thoughts for him.   They wouldn’t have any future.”

          “What?”   She shouts as she runs to hit him.   Sai dodges and ran off with her following.   She forgot all about Sasuke who watched the whole thing.   He rubs his head.

          “He didn’t have to be so harsh.”   Sasuke said.

          “Who doesn’t have to be so harsh?”   A voice asked behind him.   Sasuke turns to see Itachi behind him.

          “Sai, he was protecting me from Sakura again.”   He answers as he sits down besides his older brother.

          “She’s still at it?”   He asked the boy.

          “She says I’m her perfect mate.”   Sasuke mutters with a voice filled with nothing but annoyance.

          “Doesn’t she know that you guys wouldn’t even be a mating pair nor have kids?”   Itachi asked.

          “No, she wouldn’t know that.”   Kakashi stood next to Itachi.   “The thought of a feminist trying to mate with a wolf feminist is laughable.”

          “Why are you harassing one of the Alpha’s pups, Sasuke?”   Mebuki Haruno asked her daughter.

          “Because he will be my mate!”   Sakura says with determination showing on her face.   She gets startled as her mother starts laughing.

          “Dearie, even if that was possible there would be no kids.”   Mebuki’s face turned serious.   “Believe me.   I would know since I was the one that delivered him.   He is a feminist so he is basically like you.”

          “Huh?   But he is a boy!”   Sakura shouts.   Her eight-year-old face showing shock.   “I thought only girls could have babies.”

          “That is because it is rare for it to happen.   You are a feline also so that in itself pits against you.   The Alpha family is wolves.”

          “So he is a wolf then.   Is that wrong?”   She asked her mother.   Mebuki smiles.

          “No, dear.   Your father is a Tanuki.   He is part crow so I am not like some of the lower ranks of the pack.   Neither is the Alpha’s.   If it wasn’t for them the laws would still be like ancient times and you would not exist.”   She cuddles with her daughter.

          A little girl sat on a mat playing with a straw doll while her little sister took a nap besides her.   His smile disappeared though when he noticed his nephew standing on the edge of the clearing.

          “What does my little mutant of a nephew want?”   The wolf growled out as the little fox boy started shrinking away in fear.   He yelped when a fist connected with his head.

          “I told you that you need to rearrange your thoughts about other Were’s.”   Fugaku glares darkly at his friend.   “I didn’t work so hard to unite everyone to let my good friend think like the others.”   He looked at the nine-year-old.   “Look at him!”   Hiashi looks at the boy.   “He looks exactly like you.   Spitting image of your twin.   He is practically all alone in this world and that is all your doing.   Your brother, a wolf, mated with his mother a fox.   What is wrong about loving someone?”   Mikoto held the boy to her side.   “If you do not want him we will be glad to take him into our family.”

          “Madam Alpha, my Alpha.   We have a message from the Namikaze pack.”   A young Omega ran up to them.   He handed the message to Mikoto.   She looked at the paper she held and started shouting with glee.

          “Yes, finally!”   She says as she dances around then hugged the shy Neji to her side.   His black with white tipped tail bristled.   He looked up at her face.   His pale eyes held a look of puzzlement.

          “What is it, love?”   Fugaku asked.

          “Kushina had the babies!”   She squeals.   “This means we get to go see them!”

          “Really?”   He sighs.   “This means Itachi has to play baby sitter again.”   Fugaku didn’t look forward to hearing his oldest complaining.

          “Why can’t we bring them?”   She asks.

          “Because you cannot trust that the journey would be safe for them yet.”   Hiashi explains as he gets up and walks over to her.   He rescues his nephew from her smothering arms and shoo’s him off to join Hinata while she plays.   “I would like to join you to see if other clans are as you say.”   He explains to Fugaku.

          “Agreed, the best thing for you is to witness it.”   He smiles towards his friend.

          “So, when do we leave?”   Mikoto asks.

          “Tomorrow at noon.”   Fugaku says as he pats all three of the children on their heads.

          “But mooom! Why can’t we go?”   Sasuke whines, so unlike how he normally is.   “I wanna meet these kits I hear so much about.”   He stops when he gets flicked on his forehead from Itachi.

          “Get real, little brother.”   He says to him.   “It isn’t safe.   They will have to travel through other packs territories just to arrive at the Namikaze lands.”   Itachi explains.

          “He is right, young one.”   Fugaku says to him.   He kneels.   “But don’t worry.   We will be back shortly.”

          A few Beta’s walked behind them as they went outside to get into the vehicles.   They all drove for a few hours making it to the sound territory before Mikoto turns to her mate.   “Well, here we go!”

          “By the way, Mate. How many kits did they have?”   He asks looking straight into her excitement filled eyes.

          “They had three, why?”   Fugaku’s eyes widen when he hears this.

          “What?   Really?”   He asked with astonishment filling his voice.   “That hasn’t happened in over one hundred years!”   As their excited banter filled the car, the first car that passed the middle of the Sound Territory blew up.

          “Fugaku!”   Mikoto shrieks as another one blew up.   This time the car was in front of them.   Fugaku tore the roof of the car to ribbons with one swipe as he jumps out holding his mate.

          “Stay behind me.”   He pushed her behind him as he stared at the burning wreckage in front of them.

          “What happened, Fu-“   She stopped as a claw stuck out of her chest holding her heart inside of it.   Fugaku spun around and started growling while transforming into a hybrid wolf.   Making the reason they were called wolf man be known.   Before he could do anything the creature showed it’s scaly form long enough to take off the Alpha’s head.
