hi sorry its been so long!!
I watched Kim silently, she was packing. We were moving, or at least that’s what I’ve been told. The ring on Kim’s left hand caught the light and blinded me, I hissed coming out from my cardboard fort. “Kim can you please that off that shiny nuisance!” I hissed, knowing she would just give a disbelief look. But to my shock she said nothing, and continued packing. Cardboard boxes littered the floor waiting to be used; this packing was strange, yea pots and pans, appliances and other things went in, but I’ve seen Kim sneaking in…baby toys. Little things here and there, little toy balls, and cars. Why is she sneaking them? Is my only thought, but its Kim so I’ll let her do as she pleases.
‘Ring, ring, ring…’ the phone, something’s she’s still yet to put up, rings. She smiles, and no doubt has Dave in mind. “Hello?” the voice on the other side is muffled but being the amazing listener I am I make out, “…it worked.” Kim goes quiet, but then a smile nearly splits her face, and she beams, “Really? So- I can go get it...that’s great! What about him?”
Him? My ears flick up trying to caught more but in my shock I missed a good chuck of the conversation.
Kims still beaming of course, “…Of course I’ll be right over! Thank you!”
“Bone.” I look up surprised, ‘him’ didn’t mean Dave? She motions for me to follow, and being a good friend I follow. We walk out of the messy house, and are soon following the now familiar path to the next town. Words don’t seem too form in my mouth, its Kim I should just trust her…but- I look up at her and see her gaze glued to the shiny rock, Kim and Dave have been together for about 2 years now-2 very long years- someone clearing their throat made me look, “Bone,” she started off, biting her lip, and looked away momentarily. After a few seconds she finally looked back at me, her eyes hard, “Bone remember when officer jenny asked to take some of your blood?” I sniffed, how would I forget that…it was the day my world fell apart. She coughed, covering her mouth, “Well it seems officer jenny was partaking in an experiment of her own. Some scientist in johto are trying to find a way to make pokémon eggs…and well…”
“Kim!” someone yelled, Kim looked up, eyes alarmed and ready. We saw him at the same time, a man -a little younger then Dave- ran towards us, wearing a goofy smile, “Kim…right?” he asked, out of breath. Kim nodded, and he sighed, waving us towards the pokémon center. We were told to wait in the lobby for someone, and yes ‘someone’ is exactly what that boy said. My pelt crawled, what had Kim been about to say? I looked at her, my eyes narrowed; I have to find out, “Kim.” I hissed, she turned away, playing with her thumbs. “Kim!” I howled, causing some people in the lobby to cast disapproving looks at us. She sighed, and turned back towards me, “Fine, fine…” she put her hands up and continued, “Well, it turns out they’ve succeeded. They made a pokémon from other Pokémon’s DNA.” She paused as if groping for the right words, “they used your DNA and another Pokémon’s…that pokémon was shin.” I felt myself get tense and I knew Kim could see it too, cause she froze on the spot. “What?” It was just a question, but my voice held more bite then bark. Before I got the answer nurse joy came out, something wrapped in a cloth was held securely in her arms. “Kim,” she started in that polite tone of her’s. “Here you go. Please be careful with this little one…” her hands lingered alittle as she handed over the pokémon egg.
We walked home in silence; the egg in Kim’s arms…was mine and shins? My eyes kept going to the pale white shell that reflected the now dying sun. Joy…that wasn’t what I was feeling…it was more of betrayal. Why would Kim do something like this?! Why would she trust scientist? Why!? I looked at the egg again, Are you just an experiment meant to be destroyed in the end too? We were close to the cabin when Kim stopped, and spoke, “Bone I'm sorry…I just…I thought…maybe you’d be happy.” My fur spiked, and I felt my lips curl, but before I could interject she went on, “this egg…it’s yours and shins. Aren’t you happy?” her hair fell across her eyes, giving her a shield, but even with it I could still hear the trembling in her voice, she was close to tears. My fur went flat. What am I doing? Why am I putting her though this? What’s done is done. I can’t change that. I turned away from her and continued home, “Fine Kim! We’re keeping it!” as the words left my mouth, my heart leaped. I have a kid. I'm a father.
~~~
Gently I placed the egg inside my cardboard fort, and curled around it. Staring at its pale shell I couldn’t help but wonder, will you be a boy or a girl? And what will your name be?
“Bone?” Kim started, bending down to look into our fort.
Hehe, our fort.
“yea.” I said, raising my head alittle. Kim looked at the egg then at me, a soft smile on her face, “Bone…seeing as it’s yours. I’ll let you name it.”
“Really?” I couldn’t hide the joy in my voice. She smiled, and then turned at the sound of footsteps to see Dave walk in.
“Dave!” she yelled happily, hugging him. I tuned them out as I focused on the egg, what will be your name child? I want your name to be meaningful- dark thoughts clouded my mind, allowing only one word to shine through the mist: Fang.
The dark thought from earlier resurfaced, ‘Are you just an experiment meant to be destroyed in the end too?’ I looked at the egg again, what if…what if you’re like your mother. Destined to be ripped from me and for me to be the one that ends your life? I need a name that would be a constant reminder that at any moment you could be ripped from me.
Fang.
My fangs took shin from this world, My fangs will be the first thing you see as you enter this world, and My fangs may, if faith be so cruel, the things that make you leave this world.
“Fang…” I whispered to the egg, “that shall be your name. Please don’t let my dark thoughts come true…fang.”
And that night I dreamed about shin…it’s been so long since I’ve seen her.
I love you shin and I know fang does too…
~~~~~2 months later~~~~~
Something shifted at my side; it’s been two months since getting fang. Kim, who disapproved of the name at first, has been taking fang out for a walk almost every day. She had said it was close to hatching but I highly doubted that…of course before I got kicked in the side. I grunted, trying to get to my feet.
What was that? My eyes narrow trying to focus, and then that’s when I see it.
Fang.
It’s hatching!
Sudden fear takes over me, am I ready?
A light flicks on, and Kim runs into the room, “Bone! What’s-” but she pauses as she sees fang’s egg starting to crack.
A cry rings out, and before I know it I'm besides the egg, willingly silently for fang to be alright. Fang cries out again, followed by another crack forming.
Almost there.
Fangs yells, more force behind the tiny voice this time, and the shell breaks this time. I peer into the dark shell, and see the slight outline of fang.
I smile, showing her my fangs, “Hello fang, welcome to the world.”
>:/ Bone and Shin ^=^
^Fang^
yea hope you liked, i will reveal fang in an other time! MUWAHAHAHAH!
