Ginga Ocean James

Chapter 1: The birth of James

November 21st 1986

The snow was falling as Jim and Peter walked back from a walk in the park.

"Burr, damnit, so cold.' said Peter shaking the snow off his fur coat.

"It's flipping freezing this time of day!' He said, rubbing his hands together in an attempt to keep warm. Jim barked lightly at him, making Peter chuckle.

"You cold too, boy?" he asked jokingly. Jim nodded. Peter looked up at the sky as the snow fell.

"It really is freezing. Soon it will be Christmas…great, that means I'll have to shovel snow. Wonderful." thought Peter.

Suddenly, Jim and Peter saw Jim's young daughter Mora come running towards them. She stopped suddenly for a moment, then yelled,

"DADDY!' she cried. "HE'S HERE!" she yelled in excitement, jumping around her father. He could see that she was thrilled.

"He is?" said Jim. "Take us there! Quickly!" he said in excitement.

Jim and Mora started running while Peter was trying to keep up with them.

"Wait for me, I have short legs, dammit!" yelled Peter. "Come on Peter, work those legs, feel the burn." he told himself.

They rushed to the barn where Mozart was waiting for them. "Dad, Mum's with him." Said Mozart as Jim, Mora, and Peter arrived. Mora, Mozart and Peter entered and there on a bed of straw was Alice with a little puppy.

"Oh' said Peter catching his breath. Jim went near to Alice. Alice looked up to him with a smile. They nuzzled each other and kissed lightly. Jim looked at the small pup with pride.

"Oh Jim.' said Alice. "He's so cute, he looks just like you.' she said, licking him. He squirmed in protest, making them both laugh.

"He is, my dear Alice" said Jim as they looked at the little puppy by Alice.

Mozart said. "What name will you give him?" she asked, eager to know. Mora seemed just as impatient.

"How about James?' said Mora, "That's a cute name. Perfect for our son." said Alice, leaning down to groom the newly named pup.

"I agree then." said Jim, kneeling down to the little pup.

"You name shall be James, our little son." he said gently. Jim's ears twitched as he and the others heard howling.

Peter noticed something outside. "Hey! What's all the commotion with the humans?"

Mozart, Alice, Mora, Jim, and Peter saw a group of humans walk down from the mountains.

Three of them: Daisuke, Hidetoshi and

Takida Gohei.

"What's going on?' asked Mora confused. The dog's owner Paul came out of the house.

"What's happened up there?' Paul asked. "What's all the howling about?" he asked. Rubbing the back of his head, he looked out at the mountains.

"The wild dogs have defeated Akakabuto, and are now the kings of Futago pass' said Takida Gohei. His eyes were filled with tears.

"The wild dogs?' said Paul amazed. "And Gin and John were part of them.' said Daisuke, crossing his arms.

"Gin? Who's is Gin?' said Mora, tilting her head in confusion. "He's my friend, Riki's son.' said Jim grinning. "I didn't know he went to the wild.' he said frowning.

"Me neither.' said Alice shaking her head.."Riki was also there.' said Daisuke.

"Is he alive?' asked Paul. Takida Gohei shook his head. Jim was shocked.

"I see.' said Paul. "Now that we safe, now we can be at peace'

They went went back into the barn. Alice was quiet for a while before saying,

"Jim. I don't know why, but I have a feeling we might be connected with the Ohu army someday.' said Alice looking at little James.

"I have the same feeling too.' said Jim. " But we'll just have to wait and see.' he said, lying next to his mate and falling asleep…

' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '

"Mora, Mozart! Watch your little brother please!" said Alice. James was two months old and had gotten very energetic. Often did Jim and Alice have to ask their two elder daughters for help…

Mozart raised an eyebrow when James decided to climb on Mora's head and chew on her ears.

Mora laughed, "James, that tickles!" she said laughing. Mozart smiled,

"He's just teething again…" she said gently picking James up and putting him down on the ground. James snuggled closer to her, "You little rascal you…" said Mozart nuzzling him. "He seems to be doing just fine, I see." said a voice walking up. The two girls turned to see Fuji standing there smiling.

"Fuji-san!" said Mora cheerfully.

Fuji laughed, "Hello there Mora!" she said walking over. She smiled as she looked at James, "My, he's teething again, isn't he?" she asked softly. Both Mozart and Mora nodded.

"I see you came to visit us, Fuji." said Jim walking up. Fuji bowed her head, "That I did Jim." she said.

She whispered in his ear,

"I just heard rumors that my son is doing fine." she said. Jim smiled,

"Gin, right? He's just like Riki was when he was a pup." he said. Fuji's ear twitched when she heard a voice,

"I have to go, Daisuke's calling me." she said running off.

' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '

James yawned licking the last bit of his mother's milk off his mouth. Alice smiled, "Sleep my son…" she said as the family came in and settled down.

Four month's later in March, James is four months old.

"YAY, we're going to the seaside!' Cried James in excitement as Paul was loading up the car.

"This will be so much fun!' barked James in excitement.

"Okay okay, James' laughed Paul as he put James in the big dog cage.

"In you go girls' said Paul as Mora, Mozart, and Alice climbed in with James.

"You too, big boy' said Paul as Jim got in. Paul, his wife Sarah and two kids, Wendy and Ben got in the car and drove to the seaside. On the motorway Paul noticed the frost was making it difficult to drive.

"This is very difficult to drive!' said Paul.

"LOOK OUT!' Yelled Sarah as the car crashed through the barrier of the motorway.

"JUMP FOR YOUR LIVES!' Screamed Paul as he Sarah, Wendy, and Ben leaped from the car into the bushes.

"The dogs!' Cried Sarah as they watched in horror.

On the car Jim managed to break out of the cage and unlocked the boot door.

"JUMP EVERYONE!' screamed Jim. "But Dad…'cried Mora with tears.

"Don't cry my dear.' said Alice" We'll be with you shortly.'

Mora, Mozart and James jumped into the bushes.

"Now for us Alice!' yelled Jim. "THE CLIFF!' Screamed Alice

The car drove off the edge of the cliff and went down into the ravine.
