Lets see if it lets me import files with this new notes system. If so I will start to do more chapters and then I will work on getting back in and making new
chapters and maybe even re-write a few of my older stories. Thank you for sticking with me this long. If there is anything you would like to see in these
stories then please let me know. I would love to know what you all want to see in them and what you all think so far. Anyways, I will start to work on some
new chapters, sadly the next chapter will kind of jump around since it has been so long since I last posted a chapter. The last one was about Raven and
Beastboy. This one will mostly be about Wolf and Zanza. I made both characters in my mind and I know them best, I think that they will be the best option to
get back into the swing of things. Hopefully I can make a good length chapter that everyone will enjoy. Sorry again about the long wait on these chapters and if I make a typo I will hopefully catch it before posting, this new computer wont let me turn the spelling auto-check on for some reason.
Wolf leaned back in the chair and smiled softly, watching his sister enjoy her time with her new boyfriend. Turning to his own love he smiled a little more and watched her eagerly tear open a gift from Ichigo. Inside was a note pinned to a floor length gown, quickly reading the woman smirked and looked at Wolf. "She said I cant wear it unless you take me out dancing, I think that is a great idea since we haven't been in so long." Sighing Wolf leaned his head back. "That means wearing a suit though, unless it is something I have to wear I hate getting dressed up." Zanza frowned, since he was wearing a white button down shirt and a pair of black pants. "Uh-huh, and I am the Queen of the Fairy folk." Sitting in his lap she pouted up at him, knowning he was very likely to cave in if she did. "...Fine, we can go."
Jumping up she hugged him and giggled, not saying she knew he would go, but not saying she didn't know either. Pulling another gift over she opened it and tilted her head, not sure how to feel about what Robin had gotten her. Inside was a statue of a angel on her knees, face covered and her wings dropping feathers. Sighing the woman put it aside only to feel an arm slip around her waist. Leaning back she listened to Wolfs heart. "Forget it Love, he is petty and doesn't know that he has lost the most important thing in his life." Curling into the mans firm body she nodded and set the statue aside.
Pulling a gift over she wiggled a little, getting comfy she urged him to open his gift. Smiling a little he let go of her waist and opened a small slim box from her. Blinking a few times he slowly pulled out something he hadnt expected to see. There was a pregnancy test inside, on the end was two pink lines. Hiding her face against Wolfs chest a small voice spoke up. "Suprise... I took it a few days ago and... well, we wont know for another few months what we are having, but we are going to be parents!"
Her voice was slightly scared, but excited. Suddenly wrapped in a tight hug she was kissed soundly before backing up a tiny bit to see a very excited Wolf. "I'm glad Zanza, I know you have wanted to be a mother for a long time now, and now you finally will be." Kissing her forehead he smiled and pulled her onto his lap, his large hand slipping easily over her belly, even though he couldnt feel anything yet. Smiling she put her hand over his and gently traced the faint tattoos. "Aren't you afraid though? We are both hunted by powerful groups..." The hand on her belly turned and slipped over her own, holding it protectivly. "I'm not going to lie, I am afraid, not of being a parent, but of losing you, or our child. Let them try and take you though, they will learn why you dont start a fight with someone who has moved Heaven and Hell to save someone before. I did it once to save Raven, I will do it again if they try." Looking up at him she shivered slightly, a mix of fear from the look in his eyes, but also of pleasure, knowing he never lied and would do everything to save her and the one she was carrying.
Ichigo smirked and leaned back in her seat. "I pity anyone who tries to hurt them, it wont go well at all." Laughing softly she got up and went to the kitchen to get some more coffee.
Wolf opened another present and laughed a little, holding up the book that was on top of the real gift from Raven. The book was how to house break a dog that didnt behave. "Very funny little sister, I guess it is only fair you got me back for giving you that bag of bird treats on your birthday." Lifting up the real gift he grinned at the collection of photos of himself, Raven, Zanza, Korva and the titans all out having fun, at the beach, at a small party, there was even a few of himself and Ichigo sparring. Zanza looked at one picture and smiled, it was a very old one, when she had first meet Wolf. She wasn't even sure how the girl had gotten the picture, it was Zanza in a white skirt and top with her large wings opened and a sword in hand, Wolf near by in tattered pants and no shirt, his tattoos glowing brightly. They had fought for a moment before realizing that they weren't each others enemy.
Shaking her head she set the picture aside and kissed her soon to be husbands hand before opening a gift for both of them, inside was a DVD on how to learn to play piano, something Wolf could still do fairly well with one arm, but she had no practice with. Smiling she waved to Cyborg, happy he had gotten them something that they could do together, even if it was something Wolf could already do. Leaning back again she ran a hand over her belly, excited to be able to hear her babys heartbeat soon. Yachiru came over and sat next to Zanza, her face showing conffusion. "What are you doing Miss Zanza?" Grinning the woman gently took the girls hand and set it against her belly. "Soon I"m going to start getting much bigger, and then you will be able to feel another heartbeat coming from my belly."
The girls eyes got wide and she smiled excitedly. "You are going to have a baby!?" Jumping a little on her knees she carefully put her other hand on the womans belly and blinked. "Thats so cool. I haven't felt a babys heartbeat or a kick or anything like that before." Ichigo had come back in and sat on the couch near by. "I have Yachiru, its awesome to feel. A few times I have been there when the baby is born too. Most times people don't go to Pops clinic for a delivery, but sometimes he is a lot closer then a hospital." Yachiru climbed onto Ichigos lap and looked up at the womans light chocolate eyes. "You have seen a baby be born?"
Nodding Ichigo grinned and set her drink aside. "Once or twice, its crazy to think that something so amazing can happen right there. Maybe once Zanza has her baby she will let you hold it. Maybe she will have twins." She leaned down to whisper the last part but Zanza still threw a pillow at the woman. "One baby is enough for me for my first baby I think, I don't know if I could do two..." Wolf kissed her cheek. "We could as long as we work together." Ichigo nodded and grinned. "Believe me, you two will have plenty of help." Nodding to the titans who had been listening in she smirked. "And I know Korva is good with kids, he has helped watch my sisters a few times. They always say he does the best magic tricks. I don't think they will ever realize the reason they are so good is because he does real magic."
Zanza smiled a tiny bit and nodded. "I know, but it's scary enough just thinking of one child, let alone two." Korva chuckled a little and rolled a coin absently over his fingers, the gold coin flashing dully in the light. "Well, children arent all bad, at least I dont think so. I am very old though, I was young when the legend of the scarecrow was new." Tilting her head Zanza blinked and watched the old demon. "I dont know that legend, how does it go?"
Korva stopped rolling the coin and thought. "Hmm, I can give you the book, call it a small late gift."
After wandering to his room he came back with a small, old, thin book and gave it to his freind. Opening it Zanza started to read, leaning back against Wolf.
-I am going to add in the story of the scarecrow since I found it on youtube. If you are interested in hearing it I would recomend watching it in Spanish, it goes into more detail and it is much better.-
The legend of the scarecrow.
Once, long ago, there was a scarecrow in a long scarf. He worked in a wheat feild, the work wasnt hard, but he didnt like his job, for he had no freinds. All day he stood in the field and watched the crows fly by, and every day he waved, but the crows never spoke to him, instead they flew away, as if afraid. Days went by, with no one to talk to.
One day, the scarecrow did something forbiden, he offered the crows some seeds from the wheat, but even then, the crows didnt come closer. This saddened the scarecrow, and he wondered why no one wanted to be his freind.
Monthes went by, still with no one to talk to, till one cold night, a bird fell from the sky at the scarecrows feet. It was a old blind crow. The scarecrow was happy, he had a freind to care for, and so, wrapped the crow in his long scarf, gave him seeds, and water. As time went by, the crow got stronger, but didn't leave his new friend.
One day the scarecrow asked, 'Why do the crows hate the scarecrow?' The old crow responded in his harsh caw of a voice. 'Scarecrows are evil, they do not let us birds land to eat the seeds and drink the water.' This suprised the scarecrow, and he told his new friend the truth. 'Thats not true, look at me, I am a scarecrow and I am your friend.' The old crow, thinking this was a trap, flew away in fear, and the scarecrow was alone again.
Days later, the scarecrow made a decision, he would ask for a new job. Late that night he went into the farmers room, and asked for a new job. The farmer, seeing his scarecrow had come to life, ran into the night screaming, and the scarecrow was sad again.
The farmer woke his neighbours, who woke the town. The farmer claimed his scarecrow had come to life. This could only be the work of the devil, and so, the town gathered their torches and went to burn the scarecrow. Seeing the townsfolk with torches, the scarecrow ran away and into a old windmill, were he hid. The townspeople, afraid to follow the scarecrow inside, burned the windmill.
Not far away, a group of crows were in a tree, talking. Two of them said the townspeople were burning windmill down, with a scarecrow in a long scarf trapped inside. The old crow who the scarecrow had saved, felt pity for his friend, and told them he was a good scarecrow, the one who had saved him that cold night. The other crows, hearing this tale, took pity on the scarecrow, who was not evil, and decided to save him, but it was to late, the windmill, and the scarecrow, had both burned down.
Waiting till the next day, the crows landed in the cooling ashes and gathered them up into their wings before flying, high into the air. There, they scattered the ashes of the scarecrow. Dancing on the wind the crows saw the smiling face of the scarecrow, who was now always flying with his new friends. And from that day forth, all crows dressed in mourning, to remember their friend. And that is why to this day, all crows are dressed in black, to remeber the scarecrow.
Zanza closed the book after having read it out loud, a tear trailing down her cheek. "The scarecrow died? That isn't a happy ending." Nodding Korva grinned a tiny bit. "It is a old story, but at the time it was a story to tell not to judge others, that even though someone might seem evil, they can be good. Sadly it didn't work out for demons, angels, or a few others."
Zanza nodded sadly and gently traved the old leather cover, leaning back against Wolf's strong chest. Ichigo smiled a little and leaned forward. "It isn't as bad as you think, it shows that anyone can be good, and that anyone can be loved." Nodding Yachiru hugged the young womans arms, showing she didnt care that Ichigo was half human still. Robin might be dumb and not trust or like some of them, but those that mattered to the fallen angel didn't care what she was or once had been, they would be her new gamily.
So! That is the new chapter! I will be working on getting a few more done and posted and hopefully anyone that likes this story is still waiting for new chapters! I will be working on redoing a old story next and then post another chapter of this I think. Or I might just make another chapter of this and hopefully get it done and posted fairly soon!
