Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story except for well, I can't tell you until you read that part.

Liss: This story is dedicated to Soi, who was very angry with me for writing the Attack of the Killer Suzaku-lookalike Birds and its sequel. PLEASE R&R BOTH OF THEM! This is a fic about her, so she will be happy. But you should have seen the look on her face when she read the other stories! She was furious! It was hilarious!
'Ugh. That's the third time this week,' Soi thought miserably as she looked at the remains of her noodles and rice. She felt sick again and leaned over as she threw up.

She left the bathroom still feeling horrible. She wondered if it was the food. But it tasted like normal and no on else had gotten sick. Besides, if she complained to anyone, the emperor would have the cook executed (that's how mean he was!). And the cook was a nice guy! So Soi kept her mouth shut. It was a good thing she did. Because if she hadn't, her rug would have been stained. She ran back to the bathroom just in time.

After a month, Soi decided to see the town doctor, just in case it was serious. She put on a cloak and snuck out of the palace. She went to the doctor's house, and a little while later, the doctor diagnosed the problem. Soi took the news bravely, but her heart was breaking. The minute she left, she burst into tears. But she cleared them before she entered the palace again.

"Hey, Soi! Wanna go do some drills? Nakago's busy and I need help with my martial arts," Amiboshi asked. Soi shook her head sadly at her friend and went to her room. Amiboshi looked confused. What was wrong with her? Soi shut her door and flung herself on her bed. 'Pregnant?!' (Now I can tell you! I own Soi's baby!)

For the remainder of the month, Amiboshi watched Soi carefully. She ate so much that he was beginning to think she was Miaka. She would not do any activities and stayed away form all action. She locked herself in her room after dinner, and would not come out till late every morning. She wouldn't look Nakago in the eyes, which was strange. She was always hanging all over him before, but now she avoided him, in fact, she avoided everyone.

About two months later, when Soi was in her 3rd month of pregnancy, Amiboshi came to visit her in her room. Accidentally, Soi had forgotten to lock her door. Amiboshi waltzed into the room and saw Soi kneeling over the "toilet", if you could call it that (sorry, I don't know what they used back then, but it's probably a hole in the ground. Disgusting!).

"Soi?" he called to her. She looked up, alarmed. Amiboshi was alarmed, too. Soi's face was sweaty; her long, auburn hair wasn't done up and it looked tangled and dirty. Her eyes were wide and filled with fear. She looked nothing like herself. But what scared Amiboshi the most, was the size of Soi's belly.

"Good Seiryu, what the hell is that?!" he cried, pointing at her enormous stomach. Soi looked down, ashamed. Amiboshi was immediately sorry, but Soi told him not to be. Then she stared at him. She took a deep breath.

"Amiboshi. I'm pregnant." He looked shocked. Soi looked away. There was an awkward silence. Then-

"So, who's the daddy?" Soi looked up at Amiboshi with big puppy dog eyes.

"Oh." Amiboshi knew who it was. There was another awkward silence.

"Please don't tell anyone," Soi pleaded. Amiboshi shook his head. "I'd never do that. We're friends, right?" Soi smiled at him.

Every day, Amiboshi came to Soi's room with her meals. Since she started to show, she never came out of her room. Amiboshi had to bring a lot, since Soi was eating for two people. But she and Amiboshi had fun together. They talked and laughed with each other. Amiboshi found that Soi was much prettier each day he came, despite her fat belly. When he wasn't in her presence, her felt certain loneliness. He felt flushed when he was around Soi, but it was a good flush. Then, one day, as he watched her eat, he suddenly came to the realization. 'Oh my god. I love Soi.'
Liss: I hope you liked it. Soi certainly did! She said, when she finished reading it, "Well! This is nice! Two guys who love me!" She thinks that Nakago loves her, the idiot! I'm sorry I didn't add a lot of detail. I know it isn't like me. I also know it isn't really too good near the end, but believe me, it gets better. Please R&R!
