Author's Note: Sorry this took so long guys, I've just been really busy lately with my new job and all and I haven't had as much time to write as I'd like. But don't worry, I've decided that I want to be a professional writer someday and I'm never going to give up my true passion just for some job I'm not planning on keeping my whole life. You should see more chapters for this and my other stories out soon.
Wolfkin Part 10
The Lily's Emerald
*She chuckled again as her friend scoffed than turned back to the group. Her mouth opened, but whatever she was planning on saying died on her lips as she caught sight of Duo's swelled stomach. "Oh Isis, you're Wolfkin?" She asked in what seemed to be awe. Heero saw what her eyes were fixed on and wrapped his arm around his mate so that his hand rested protectively over their pup. "Yes, what of it?" He growled softly in warning but the girl seemed not to notice. In fact, her face lit up suddenly, she seemed to almost bounce with elation. "We've been looking all over for one of your clans! Oh great Artemis, and then to just stumble onto you like this..." Her sentence drifted off suddenly.
"You've been looking for us? Why?" Heero asked, suddenly suspicious. The girl's eyes glowed with joy as she answered. "Nicoli and I have something you might want to see."*
"What could you possibly possess that would interest a Wolfkin?" Wufei asked as he watched the strange female jump up and down. "Oh no you've got it all wrong, Nicky and I don't possess anything you might want. But... well... oh just hold on a sec!" With that, she took off at a run back toward the forest they had emerged from.
"I thought I told you not to call me Nicky!" Nicoli shouted at her back as she vanished between the trees. Sighing he turned back toward the group. "You'll have to excuse Liliandra, she's just a bit excited. We've been looking for one of your clans for damn near sixteen years now and she'd just about given up hope of ever finding one." The blue-eyed man explained as he awaited the return of his companion.
"What's going on?" The small gathering turned at Quatre's voice and watched as he took his place next to Trowa. "I felt a huge surge of emotions coming from this area. Did I miss something?" He asked feeling slightly out of the loop before he finally noticed the stranger in their midst. "Oh, hello. I'm Quatre the clan Healer. Pleased to make your acquaintance." He smiled brightly as he extended his hand toward the pale man. The stranger shook his hand and introduced himself.
"Honored I'm sure, Master Healer. I am Nicoli and my traveling companion, who I'm sure you'll meet in just a few moments, is Liliandra." Nicoli's voice seemed completely emotionless as he spoke of himself, but Duo had noticed that the ice had begun returning to his eyes the moment Liliandra had left his side. Perhaps she had the same affect on her strange companion as he did on his Heero-koi.
A few moments later the Wolfkin's sensitive ears picked up the sound of voices approaching. "Oh don't be such a baby! Come on, I'm dieing to introduce you!" The feminine voice was easily remembered by the clan members for they had never before heard a female anything speak. However, the voice that answered was not familiar. "But what if they don't like me? Or worse?" A light huff was heard and Liliandra spoke again. "Of course they'll like you... and what could be worse than them not liking you?" But her question went unanswered.
A moment later, the strange girl broke the forest line with a young boy in tow. He was small, only as tall as Liliandra herself so he was most likely the height of the average Delta male. His hair gleamed golden in the morning light and shone brilliantly as he approached reluctantly behind the girl. All, save Nicoli, drew a deep breath as his eyes became visible to the waiting group. A startling emerald green peeked out from under his golden locks. Though Trowa's eyes were the same color, they were drastically different. While the Beta leader's eyes were calm and soothing green, the boy's eyes seemed to glow emerald in the new light.
Finally, Liliandra reached the group and smiled as she pulled the boy beside her and hugged him to her shoulder. With the newest addition to this strange gathering so close it wasn't long until another gasp could be heard. The boy was a WOLFKIN, A DELTA MALE. "Sweetie, let me introduce you to everyone. The pretty one with the braid and the puppy is Duo. The one who looks pissed off with his arm around him is his mate, the Alpha Male, Heero. Next to him with the black hair is Wufei, and the guy with those great bangs is Trowa." Quatre chuckled as he heard her refer to his mate's odd hairstyle.
"The cute little blonde, the one who's chuckling, is Quatre." He stopped his laughter suddenly as he realized he'd never told the girl his name. She just winked at him and continued her introductions. "The really tall blonde is Yuki, Nicoli fell on him, we'll have to tease him about that later." The small boy she clutched to her chuckled slightly and shot Nicoli a mischievous look. At said look the pale man groaned. "That adorable little pink-haired one is Yuki's mate Shuuichi, who Nicky scared the living day lights out of when he decided he'd try to learn to drop like a stone."
"Knock it off you infernal Ogre! You knocked me out of that tree and you know it!" Liliandra giggled as she replied. "You lost far and square Nicky." Getting her giggles under control, Liliandra turned back to introduce the last member of their party. "And that tall one over there with the brown hair and amethyst eyes has been really quiet but I know his name anyway. I think you'd get along with him honey, his name is Tsuzuki."
"That's very disturbing you know?" Quatre asked still unable to get over the fact that she had known his name. "You don't know the half of it Quatre. None of us introduced ourselves." Wufei informed the blonde even though he too looked pole-axed. Nicoli shook his head as they continued to stare at them. "I told you, she's a telepath, and a strong one at that." Liliandra nodded enthusiastically. "But don't worry, I'm honorable. I won't go delving into any deep dark secrets you hold. It's just not in me." She smiled gently and then turned to her charge. "Everyone this is Hisoka Kurosaki. My baby." She turned her head, nuzzled her face into his hair, and whispered something in a language the Wolfkin could not understand.
Hisoka smiled at her words and whispered back. "You always say that 'ka-san." Now that the Wolfkin did understand, after all, they did have a few humans in their custody and they'd spoken and traded with other races before so they knew quite well what a ''ka-san' was. But the true question was, 'How could a Delta male Wolfkin have a FEMALE MOTHER?!!!!!'
TBC...
