Yumichika looked at his reflection in the mirror. His hair was getting longer, he hadn't cut it in two months. He brushed the silky raven locks away from his pale face, it reached mid-neck now.

He looked down at his stomach. Only seven more months to go, seven more months of hiding his pregnancy. And seven months to decide whether or not to tell the father of his child about the child. "I probably shouldn't" he thought "I mean, its not like Ikkaku loves me or anything"

It had only been one night, ONE. NIGHT. and here he was. Pregnant, and with Ikkakus child no less. He loved Ikkaku but he wasn't so sure his feelings were returned.

So when he found out, he had left. And he hadn't gone back. For nothing, just slipped away from it all. He left to clear his head, think it all over. And he was, alot.


Ikkaku paced back and forth, where in the hell was Yumi?! He hadn't seen him in almost a month. He left a note saying he would explain when he came back. Explain, what was going on, what made him just up and leave?!

He hoped Yumi would come back soon, he had everyone worried and looking for him.


"Go back and tell him" Ruri-iru Kujaku said to him. "What? Are you nuts? I can't do that!" "And why not?" "Because...he doesnt love me, and he wouldn't want the baby!" "Oh my gawds, do you hear yourself Yumi? Ikkaku cares about you! He stands by your side and you stand by his. You both care for each other" "I care for him yeah, but what if youre wrong huh?" "Ugh! Arguing is so ugly when you're tired! This is too difficult and ugly. I'm going to sleep." Ruri-iro Kujajku huffed.

Yumi stared at his sword. "Maybe he's right" he sighed "If Ikkaku didn't care about me he wouldn't have traveled with me, or be my best friend, or even have slept with me probably! I should tell him" "Well you know as the father, he does technically have a right to know of his...child" "I thought you went to sleep" "Well not with you babbling to yourself!" Yumi sighed and chuckled a little. "I guess he does" "Yes, now go! Tell him about how you and him conceived and now you must carry his demon spawn for the next seven months!"

"Yeah!...hey! Demon spawn?" "What? Its IKKAKUS kid!" "My child too, you do know right?" "Yeah, but that makes it more so" "Why you-how ugly! Insulting me!" "hahahaha!"
