Log 1
She was grown up now, now, and now he had to deal with a little runt of a female called Reese. Damn it, his life was nothing as he wished, nothing as he dreamed. He felt eyes upon him, turned and snarled in a direction of a wriggling bush, "Leave me the hell alone...don't you understand?" Arguin slate eyes settled on the mass of blue and white that revealed herself and he snorted and snarled, held his tail high. "Go away...be with Daemon! GO!"
Katana winced, whimpered and crouched low, "But...daddy..."
"SHUT UP! Never call me that, NEVER! I never wanted to be yourfather female, now leave, I am not your father, I am not! I don't want you, don't you understand?" Arguin said with a snarl, a step closer.
Shrinking to the ground Katana closed her eyes, whimpered, she felt so small, she was small, though a bit larger then her friend Noir. But she was a tiny female, she knew it, Daemon was her uncle, and like a father to her, Arguin gave her blood, life...why did her daddy not want her? What did she do. "I just want...to be family daddy..."
"ENOUGH!" he growled, snapping his jaws near her ears, and he heard her whine, a smirk plastered upon his maw. "See, you are afraid of me, which is good, I do not want you....I. Do. Not. Want. YOU." he'd let it sink in, he doubted it would.
The blue was from him, the mark was from him. Why did he hate her so. She trembled, whimpered and cried, tears dampening the fur beneath her eyes. Why did her father hate her, show more decency towards Lestat, though she hadn't seen him either in so long. Her mother she didn't know where, but now her own daddy was taking care of a foreign pup. A name Reese. Why did he hate her so, and like them, she did not understand.
"I want you dead..." Arguin said low, eyes gleaming.
Her head shot up, her eyes met his, her ears pressed back against her skull. What? He...he wanted her dead? He maw curled into a frown, tears still falling from her eyes.
"You heard me, I wish you were dead, your mother didn't want you either...we would've killed you if your great uncle Daemon hadn't stepped in," a snarl emphasized the name Daemon, "I'll kill you myself if I have too..."
All the while a pair of dark blue eyes watched what was happening. A white pelt painted with blue markings, blue like theirs only darker, he was darker then they. His maw turned into a crooked snarl, his tail swaying behind him, fur in his view. He was Senku, he'd be something great, he had blue upon him from his father, and this blue male thought he'd kill a female of such a color? Blue was grand, blue was everything, he would not let it happen, perhaps then he'd be good enough in Phib's eyes to take a high place one day. "Enough is for you..." Senku growled, stepped into the open, crossing hte clearing standing in front of Katana, back straight, head held high. Senku was massive for his age, he believed it a gift from his unknown father.
Arguin growled, "You dare interfere boy!? I'll=I'll-"
"You'll what?" Senku threw back, eyes gleaming in a more satanic way then even Arguin's eyes. "You'll do nothing or I'll rip into your flesh, this female has done nothing to you but try to regain what should be hers, a father, she doesn't have a mother, or a father it seems, and you won't even look at her..." he narrowed his eyes. He was lucky enough to have a mother...his father was somewhere. He glanced at Katana, so small, weak and scared...how could her own father be like this? How?
Arguin huffed, "It is none of your concern, but if you wish to be in my way, you will get in my way one day...I promise you that..." he snarled, turned and headed back to the den where hopefully Reese had stayed. Fool, I'll kill him too...
Katana was still curled up, but her eyes were peering up at her savior, white and blue...like her, but different. So big, so strong. She stayed quiet, fearful he might hurt her too, though her eyes spoke 'thank you.'
Senku tilted his head, she should stand, why so low? He crouched to lay on the ground to, so this was what it was like from down here, is this how omegas and the weak saw the world? Could he change the weak into warriors? "Whats your name?" curiosity was getting a hold of him.
"Katana..." she spoke softly, swayed her tail once, then twice. His voice was low, and didn't sound too harsh.
"I'm Senku...
he said, and he smiled, though behind his smile his mind was racing. A katana was a sword, he was told, katana's could be used by warriors, and held by the strong...and ensured success.
The future would truly be interesting now...

"Why are you still following me?" a simple question, though Senku thought he had gotten rid of the annoyance of being followed wherever he went by his sister but now, now this other female was following him too! He stopped, turned, his blue fur hanging over his blue eyes and he scrunched his nose at her, "Why are you following me Katana?" She shifted his tail, held his head high, he was a beta after all, but he wasn't sure why Katana was following him still! For a while it was cute, but now he was getting confused.
Katana swayed her tail, a smile on her maw, shifting herself she stopped, sat back, ears erect and alert, eyes just watching him. He was blue like she was, though he wasn't mean like her birth father, not at all. "Because you helped me, saved me really, I think he's afraid of you..." she said with a nod, a sway of her tail. Arguin seemed to be afraid, or at least intimidated by Senku. Why was he looking at her like that? Had she done somehting wrong?
"So me saving you means that you can follow me whenever you choose? Thats not how it works no, you're safe here, if he tries to hurt you, you can call for me but..." he trailed off, looked at her, the white against blue reminded him of himself, of his father. He wondered if his father had a thing for blue things, blue children, blue minions perhaps? "I have things to do Katana, I can't watch you all day long..." It was the truth he knew, but he did have borders to patrol after all!
"I know but," she stood, padded over to him, ears held back a bit now, eyes watching, seeking for his own, "I don't know what to do, can't I help? No one ever gave me anything to do, Uncle Daemon just says to stay out of trouble, but I want to do somehting Senku, something..." Following him was somehting after all. "Plus, I like following you, and I'm indebted to you ya know..." she said with a nod, a smile. She was so innocent, so naive.
Senku sighed, shook his head and turned around so his back was facing her. Why did she look at him in that way? It made his blood boil with a certain emotion he could not place. He snarled within his mind while musing on what to do. The darker part beneath his fur was grinning, she owed him somehting? "Something? Elaborate Katana, or I'll move on and you'll stay here," he took a few steps to test if she'd follow, ears alert to try and pick up her movements if she did.
As soon as he stepped, Katana did as well, she was clingy, she knew it, but no one had shown her such kindness besides her Uncle Daemon, her Uncle was busy now, he had little pups of his own now, and she needed a purpose in life, for some reason, she believed Senku could give her some sort of purpose here in the packlands. "Something meaning...well, what do you want? You're nice so, anything I guess?" she said with a smile, a wag of her tail. She was trying to keep up with his steps, though she stayed a few behind, she knew he was of a greater rank and importance then she.
"Don't say that..." he said, trying to have his eyes pry away from hers. She was walking with him now? Damn, how did he get into this mess in the first place? Anything she said? A part of him churned deep down, urges he never knew, urges he didn't understand, of course, thats what you get for not having your father around. "Some people could take advantage if you said that Katana, you never say that to anyone, understand?" he said with a snap, eyes peering at hers from beneath his bangs.
Katana gulped and nodded, "A-alright, but can't...can't I say it to you? You deserve it and, I don't...really understand how others could take advantage over a word..." Uncle Daemon hadn't explained things to her really, the birds and the bees were unknown to her. Flicking her ears every which way, trying to pick up sounds, she had a rhythm in her step, a smile on her maw. This was nice, feeling this way...being around someone else without worry.
Senku shook his head, stopped and stepped in front of her. He looked her up and down, almost reached out to touch her, then took control of himself. Though these feelings he couldn't deny, he sighed, turned away, and grinned to himself, a grin masked by his bangs, "Anything Katana? Anything for me, only me?" he asked, swaying his tail, he had things to do, though they could wait...perhaps.
"Yes, yes! Anything I swear..." Katana said taking some steps to be in front of him, her eyes pleading with him as if to ask to not push her away, not make her go away. Eyes gleaming and pleading, tail swaying behind her, she whined low, she didn't want to be pushed away from another, no, she never wanted that again. "Anything..." she whispered.
"Fine then," Senku took more steps, waited and watched her follow behind, "You'll follow me, and do what I say, understand? Our secrets, no one else's, or else I won't let you follow me ever again..." she seemed to nod, adn he grinned to himself, Something felt proud within him, another part guilty, so he stepped along, paws stepping into hte thick underbrush.
He had things to do.
Log 3
Senku was smiling to himself, a sincere smile on his maw, he pushed his paws into the sand of the beach, Katana was beside him, curled up, already asleep, he smiled, were things changing for him? Perhaps, though this dark feeling in him was never fleeting, he could feel it flow through him like an ugly serpent of the dark woods. He wondered what his father would say if he saw him now, wondered what his mother would say. Though he didn't have to wait long...
The omega scurried out from the tree line and down the beach, her babies were all grown up now, all were going of on their own. She missed him, Mrost, her love, her lover, she was entirely devoted to him with all of her heart and soul and life, though she knew Anokain'thros and Senku were still about in the packlands, and she hadn't seen her son in quite some time. "Senku?" she called, the night had already fallen, figures in silhouette were before her, and she approached cautiously.
Katana was dreaming, a smile on her maw as she did so. She was running throughout the stars, following a cloud and rain, ice and snow, no...only Senku, but he was so much more in her dreams. What had they done to be like this, what had she done? Secrets, their secrets she would never tell, though she was incredibly fatigued, and she swore she could hear another call Senku's name, was it her own?
Senku's ears darted forward and he turned his head, he sighed, his mother, the little omega that talked so strange, though she was his mother, she was blood none the less. "Yes mother...I'm here, but shh," he looked down, and made a motion to Katana, "She's sleeping, do be quiet mother...please?" he pleaded, why was he so caring over this female now, why? It confused him so much so.
Ohka approached then came to a halt. She had been watching the borders on the far side, and practiced her fishing, getting closer Ohka's silver eyes went wide, her son Senku, her baby, had a female sleeping by his side. He cared for her? Was that why she was to be quiet? Why hadn't he told her about this girl, why? She was his mother after all. The girl was covered by Senku's scent and she looked at him in awe, head tilted, "Who is she Senku? Why does she have your scent?"
"Katana mother..." he said softly, nudging the blue female beside him to wake up and at least meet his mother, his eyes traveled back to Ohka, a darkness in them in the light of the moon, "Because she's mine mother, mine..." he grinned, white fangs gleaming in the dark. Yes, his, their secrets, his secrets, his.
Katana sniffed after nudged and pawed at her nose, stupid sand, it was so annoying, perhaps even more so then she was when following Senku. Though, she guessed things might be different now, they had secrets, and she would never tell. Opening her eyes her hues settled on a foreign picture, his sister? No, too different in markings. She heard him say mine, and it made her beam within. She was his? Was that good? She should tell Uncle Daemon! Oh but no, secrets, she wasn't supposed to tell. "H-hello..."
Ohka tilted her head at the female, then her son. Were they mates? Close friends? What, she wasn't sure, though it didn't appear like how she was with her lover, but perhaps that was good, Senku seemed a bit like his father, but none the less, he was her son. "Hello dear, nice night yes? Nice to meet your dear, Senku takes care of you then? Good to know, my Senku is such a fine boy," she said with a smile on her maw beaming. Her son yes, her son.
Senku rolled his eyes and curled his tail around Katana, he watched his mother closely, she seemed suspicious, well good,s he didn't need to know. He was entitled to keep his own secrets, even from his own mother. "Katana, this is my mother, Ohka," he said drearily, his mother did speak in such an annoying way, though it was late for her, Senku knew she would retire soon enough.
Katana offered the female a smile, and a nod, the fur on her back prickled at the sensation of Senku wrapping his tail around her. Secrets, she liked secrets, though she was tired, she wished to sleep. "Nice to meet you Ohka, and yes, Senku is very nice indeed," though Katana yawned and laid her head back down again and closed her eyes, she was so tired, she wasn't sure how much longer she could stay awake. Soon enough she was sleeping peacefully once more.
Ohka beamed and looked back and forth from her son to the girl, nice then? Good that they were nice with one another. Ohka nodded her head and smiled, "Sleep dear, no worries, I'm off to bed too, and Senku...sleep too," she said with a nod, she then turned, and scurried from which way she came. Her son was with a girl, a strange sensation in her heart indeed.
Senku nodded and watched as Katana lay her head down again, he yawned as well while watching his mother retreat, curling around her he smiled, and grinned to himself, she was his, and would do what he said...who knew, with such secrets from others, perhaps he could have a family of his own one day.
Secrets were wonderful...
