"FUUUUCK! I HATE YOU, YOU BASTARD!" A feminine voice screamed in a hospital room. The voice belonged to a young woman with long, inky black hair, and beautiful brown eyes. Her face looked like it could have been sculpted by Gods, to say nothing about her body, which had a large bump where her stomach was; a baby bump. This woman's name was Shuri Himejima, and she was in the middle of giving birth. "WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER, IT'S WHIPS, CHAINS, AND AT LEAST THREE OTHER SADISTS WITH ME DESTROYING YOUR WILL TO LIVE!" She screeched as the most unimaginable pain washed over her entire body, as it had been for many hours prior.
Her husband, a tall, muscular man, shivered as his wife's words hit him. He was Barakiel, one of the Cadre's of the Fallen Angels, a race of supernatural beings that had been banished from heaven for impure thoughts. His hair was short and black, and on his face was neat, trimmed beard. His expression was one of pain as his wife squeezed the life out of his hand, while the nurses, who were surprisingly chilled about the threats the woman was spouting, did their job in helping Shuri give birth.
"I can see the head!" The lead nurse announced. "Just a little longer miss. Breath!" She instructed.
"It's almost over dear." Barakiel tried to console his wife.
"SHUT UUUUUUUUUP!" The woman giving birth screeched like a banshee towards her husband, making the man cringe in pain and fear.
"One more: push!" The nurse ordered. With every manner of willpower she could muster, she obeyed, pushing with all of her strength. In matter of minutes, the married couple heard it, the crying as the nurse caught the baby. "It's a girl!" The lead nurse announced, wrapping the baby in a towel. Barakiel and Shuri smile widely at the revelation, the latter, albeit, significantly more tiredly than the former, but it was still a smile. "Now for the other one." The nurse's word made the married couple freeze.
"Other one?" Shuri asked stiffly, her husband going pale.
"You're having twins." The nurse said, her eyebrows raised. Did they not know?
Shuri turned her head to face her husband, a dark glare on her face. "MAKE IT FIVE SADISTS WITH ME DESTROYING YOUR WILL TO LIVE!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Well, that answered that. Internally, Barakiel actually whimpered at what she may do to him once her body had recovered enough. In all the millennia he's lived nothing has ever scared him as much as Shuri Himejima.
Hours later, after getting a lot of rest, Shuri Himejima sat at her hospital bed, holding her two babies, the most delighted smile on her face as she stared at the two little miracles in her life. Something they both had in common is that, even as infants, they both looked remarkably like her. However, earlier, when their eyes had opened, she saw that they both had their father's violet eyes, something she adored on her babies. Despite all the pain she just went through, she was the happiest she's been in all her life.
"They're beautiful." Barakiel said as he approached his, now calm, wife. Pulling up a chair, he sat beside his wife. Smiling beautifully, said wife slowly passed one of the babies to her husband; the girl. Barakiel's heart melted as he saw the baby gurgling and cooing in her sleep. "Have you any ideas for names?" He asked, looking at his wife, who cradled their son
"We agreed that I would choose if we had a girl, and you would if we had a boy." Shuri giggled tiredly, still feeling the fatigue from the labour. "Shall we go the same direction?" She asked. Barakiel smiled and agreed as Shuri looked at her daughter in her husband's arms. "Akeno." She whispered. "For the sunrise." She smiled.
"And Alexander." Barakiel said, looking at the boy in his wife's arms. "A defender." He smiled, placing one of his hands over his wife's. "I love you Shuri." he said with the same passion he'd held for her for all these years.
Tears welling up in her eyes, Shuri kissed her husband softly. "And I you, Barakiel." She whispered.
Weeks went by, and though it was difficult to get used to, Shuri and Barakiel adapted to life with children. Yes, the crying was hard to deal with, and diapers, and the feeding, and the waking up in the middle of the night, but despite this, Barakiel and Shuri were the happiest they've been ever since they first started their relationship.
For the most part.
"WAAAAAAAAH!" The crying of a little girl resounded through the house, whilst her twin brother slept peacefully in the cot across from her room.
"Stop crying, please! I don't know what else to do!" Shuri wailed as she walked with her daughter in her arms. "My boobs are empty! Do you want lasagna?" She asked desperately.
"WAAAAAAAH!" The baby girl kept on crying.
"Sh, shhhh…" She hushed softly, her knees weakening from fatigue. The baby's cried slowly softened, much to her mother's delight. "It's ok, it's ok…" She whispered. Finally, the baby fell into a peaceful sleep. With a heavy sigh of relief, Shuri kissed her baby's forehead and placed her in the crib, sneaking out of the room. As she walked into the living room, she fell into the couch, her hair unkempt and disheveled, bags under her eyes. "What have we done?" She asked herself.
"Shuri! I'm home!" Barakiel announced as he walked in through the front door, carrying several bags of groceries.
"WAAAAAAAAH!" Akeno started wailing again.
"It took me two hours to get her to sleep!" Shuri snapped in her husband's direction, startling the man. Sighing, she made to get up, but was stopped by her husband.
"No. You sit. Rest." He told her. "I will handle this shift." He said with a soft smile, placing the groceries down. With a relieved sigh, Shuri nodded and sat down as her husband went towards their children's rooms.
"WAAAAAAAAH!" Akeno's crying continued as Barakiel walked towards the room. It was baffling how Alexander could stay asleep through all that.
Shuri groaned as the sound echoed through the house. However, as soon as Barakiel entered the babies' room, she stopped. Shuri's jaw dropped. She was walking around the house, cradling her baby, singing, cooing, and hushing, yielding no results. Yet, as soon Barakiel entered the room, the baby stops crying? That makes no sense.
"Well, thank goodness that's done." Barakiel sighed as he came out of the room again.
"Yeah…" Shuri trailed off, her lips trembling and her eyes watering.
"What's wrong?" The Fallen Angel asked, sitting beside his wife.
"Nothing. These are happy tears." Shuri said with a watery smile.
"Oh, good." Barakiel sighed in relief.
"NO THEY'RE NOT YOU JACKASS!" Shuri wailed in anger and sadness, scaring her husband stiff. "HOW COME YOU CAN GET HER TO STOP CRYING, BUT I CAN'T?!" She cried, tears flowing from her eyes.
"Dear God, the dreaded Baby Blues." Barakiel shuddered in fear. "I don't know!" He said desperately. "I mean, look at me! I'm tall, muscled, gruff and scary! Maybe she just played possum until I went away?" He suggested weakly.
"NOT FUNNY!" Shuri cried. "EVERYONE'S A BETTER MOM THAN MEEEEE!" She wailed, burying her face in her hands.
"Did you consider that maybe our daughter is just a mean girl?" Barakiel tried. The only response he got was a glare from his wife.
"WAAAAAHAHAHAAAAA!" Shuri cried in a manner that was not dissimilar to how Akeno was crying before.
"AAAAHAHAHA!" A grown man rolled on the floor laughing as he and his best friend sat in his living room, drinking. He was young-looking and handsome man, with violet eyes not dissimilar to Barakiel's, dark black hair with golden bangs, and some stubble on his face. "Oh this is just too good!" He laughed, his fist pounding on the ground as Barakiel gave him a deadpan stare. Several days have passed since the Baby Blues really started to kick in, and Barakiel was given a reprieve to spend some time with his closest friends.
He almost immediately regretted telling Azazel what Shuri has been putting him through since his children were born.
"Are you done?" The lightning specialist asked gruffly.
"Pretty much…" Azazel snickered as he got up from the floor. "I'm sorry, but this is hilarious." He said, still chuckling into his hand. Barakiel just grunted in response.
"You must be exhausted." The third individual stated. She was a woman with long, wavy purple hair, sharp, strong looking eyes, and a voluptuous figure that rivaled Shuri's. Her name was Penemue, the Chief Secretary of the Fallen Angels. She wore a feminine business suit, with black heels and stockings. If she were to wear a pair of glasses, she'd fit the 'Librarian Fetish' category perfectly.
"You have no idea…" Barakiel let out a groan, slumping in his chair.
"Is she really that bad?" Penemue asked.
"She's worse." Barakiel shuddered, remembering the past few days. "It's been especially difficult to sleep with all the crying." he sighed.
~~Flashback~~
"WAAAAHAHAHAAAA!" Shuri cried as she and Barakiel sat in their bed, the latter stroking the former's back in comfort, an exhausted look on his face. "HOW CAN SHE HATE ME?! I MAKE HER FOOD IN MY TITS!" She cried, blowing her nose. "THAT'S LIKE HATING AN ICE CREAM MACHINE! WAAAAHAHAA!" She continued to cry.
"Shhh. She doesn't hate you. Stop saying that!" Barakiel urged his wife, doing his damndest to cheer her up. To no avail.
Shuri looked up at her husband with teary eyes. "Now you hate me too! WAAAAH!" She wailed, throwing her head back as tears flowed.
"WAAAAAAAH!" A baby's cry resounded through the house. Akeno.
"WAAAAH!" Followed by another. Alexander.
"AAAAAHAAAAHAHAAAA!" Shuri's cry drowned the other two out.
And deep down inside, Barakiel wanted to cry like a baby too.
~~Flashback End~~
Azazel was on the floor laughing again, having spilled his drink after a spit-take of laughter. Penemue looked very exasperated at her friend and Leader's behavior, while Barakiel started downing the drink he held. He needed it, desperately. Meanwhile, Penemue sighed and pulled her cellphone out from her skirt pocket, quickly looking something up. Finding what she was looking for, she smiled.
"It says here that up to 80% of new mothers experience Baby Blues." She told her recently parented friend. "The best thing you can do is continuously assured them that she's doing a good job and keep her spirits up." She read.
"That was surprisingly quick of you." The Governor General looked at her phone with interest.
"You just need to know how to use the internet properly." Penemue shrugged, pocketing her phone. "I'm telling you, with the right video, I could give Barakiel a Vasectomy." She smirked in the Fallen Angel Leader's direction with a smirk, giggling as he paled.
Weeks passed in the lives of Barakiel and Shuri Himejima. Soon, they got used to taking care of their twin babies. As it turned out, the only reason Shuri struggled to put Akeno to sleep when Barakiel didn't, was because Akeno found the presence of her father much more comforting when she was held. In the case of Alexander, it was the other way around. He found it much more comforting to be held by his mother. Simply put, Alex was a Mama's Boy, whereas Akeno was a Daddy's Girl.
Despite this, they did get used to being held by either parent.
Digression aside, it was night time in the Himejima residence and both Barakiel and Shuri were feeling very excited. After several weeks, the doctors had finally given Shuri the 'go ahead,' as it were, after a check up to make sure her body had recovered from childbirth. After the night their relationship turned physical, they'd engaged in heavy S&M play every night since. And after Shuri got pregnant, they had to be a bit more careful. When the third trimester began, they had to abstain completely. And they also had to keep their hands to themselves for several following the birthing.
Now, they were free to be as wild and freaky as they wished.
Shuri had promised her husband a wild night, and the sadistic grin she put on when she did so only proved to excite her husband further. With that in mind, he eagerly got to work on finishing everything Azazel needed him to do before heading straight home. Whilst Alexander and Akeno were with a baby sitter, he sat on their couch, one leg crossed over the other, waiting for his wife. She told(ordered) him to wait on the couch if he arrived home before her, so did just that. He shuddered to think what would happen if disobeyed his wi- Mistress.
"Ooooooh, Hubby Dear~" Shuri's voice cooed. Barakiel froze as the sound hit his ears. The only time Shuri ever referred to him as 'Hubby' or 'Hubs' or anything similar, was when she wanted to assert the fact that he was hers. The only reason she would need to do that was if...
Stiffly, he turned to face his wife. She stood there, wearing a black leather dress that fit the dominatrix category perfectly, and barely went down past her rear. Her hair was set free to flow down her back, and her long legs were covered with a pair of black 'fuck me' boots. In her right hand, was whip for horseback riding, and in her left, was a taser. Her eyes were closed, and she giving him the sweetest smile.
This wasn't why Barakiel was now trembling though.
The reason why he was trembling was because of the five women standing behind his wife, in a horizontal line, all dressed identically to his wife, with the same equipment in their hands, and the same sweet smiles. He recognised two of them, as he and his wife had 'played' with them before, but the other three, he didn't know. But one thing he did know, is that he is in for one hell of a night.
"Time for your punishment Dear~" Shuri giggled darkly, letting her tongue travel across the whip. The Fallen Angel suddenly remembered his wife's promise back when she was giving birth.
After that day, Barakiel both regretted and applauded himself for getting Shuri Himejima pregnant with twins.
"Mama!" A four year old Akeno screamed as her brother chased her, a wild grin on his face as he held up a rubber spider. Akeno wasn't aware that it was fake, and like any other four year old girl, she screamed at the sight of the arachnid, and ran when her brother tried to make her touch it.
"Come on Akeno~" Alexander said sweetly, his grin scaring his sister further. "The spider only wants to give you a little kiss!" he called out to her. This, predictably, did nothing to assuage Akeno's fear.
"Mama!" Akeno cried as she finally found their mother, hanging up laundry, and hid behind her, where Alexander couldn't get to her. One could just barely see the curtain of inky black hair, identical to Shuri's, hiding behind the woman's legs.
"Akeno? What's wrong?" Shuri asked of her daughter, wondering why the girl was so scared.
"Alex is being mean!" Akeno cried as Alexander ran up to them. Essentially a small, male version of his mother, Alex's hair was rather short in contrast to his sister's. Where Akeno's hair went down to her knees, Alexander's inky black hair, which he too inherited from his mother, just barely went down to his shoulders.
"Mean?" He parroted innocently, holding up the rubber spider. Akeno growled when she saw it was fake. "Spider-chan just wanted to say hello." He said with a cutesy smile. Shuri, knowing exactly what her son was like, gave Alexander the blankest stare, making the boy nervous.
"Now now Alexander, I think-" Shuri started, but was cut off.
"Raaaah!" Akeno roared as she pounced on her brother, sending them both to the ground. "You big jerk!" She cried as she and her twin rolled over, back and forth between the other being on top. They were struggling, wrestling, screaming, and grunting as they tried to win the little quarrel, to see who would come out on top, but unfortunately, they were stopped by their mother.
"Oi!" Shuri said loudly in 'The Voice' as Akeno and Alexander called it. Whenever she uses is, you know she means business and better do as she says if you value your butt cheeks. That in mind, the twins separated from each other and walked up to their mother, their heads hanging. "Now, Alexander." Shuri focussed on her son. "It's not nice to scare your sister like that. She was really upset." She scolded, wagging her finger at him.
"Yes Mama." Alexander mumbled.
"And Akeno." Shuri turned her attention to her daughter. "Alex may have gone a little overboard, but he was just playing. There was no need to jump him like that." She scolded. "One of you could have gotten hurt." She added sternly.
"Yes Mama." Akeno murmured.
Shuri smiled. "Now, both of you say sorry." She told her babies. The twins turned and faced each other, mumbling a 'sorry' under their breaths, eliciting a sigh from their mother. It was a start at least. "Now hug and kiss." She added as an afterthought.
"MOM!" Akeno and Alexander shouted in embarrassment, making Shuri giggle. Oh, how she loved embarrassing her children. The way their faces turned red was simply adorable.
"Ok ok~" She giggled, smiling. The twins huffed and crossed their arms, looking away from each other and their mother. "Run along now." She said, still smiling, getting back to work on the laundry. "And no more rough housing!" She called out after her children ran off.
"Yes Mama!" They called out in response.
"Take that!" Seven year old Akeno cried as she swiped her arm through the bathtub water, splashing her brother. She giggled at his unimpressed look. "Your hair looks so silly!" She laughed, seeing her brother's normally silky hair sticking to his face.
"Oh yeah?" Alexander's face suddenly twisted into a grin. Before Akeno could react, Alexander had pounced on her, whilst they were in the bathtub, and pushed her under. Not for long though, just long enough for her to be completely submerged and come up without any issues. Well, none other than the fact that her hair is now sticking to her in a more comical manner than Alex's is to his.
With a completely blank expression, she spat out some water that had managed to find it's way into her mouth. Alexander let out a snort at the funny image before him. Despite herself, Akeno couldn't help but find their exchange funny too. She tried to resist, but her lips started curling up into a smile without her consent. Before she knew it, she was giggling like a little girl, which she was. Before long, both of the twins were laughing, splashing each other with the water and playing.
If someone were to look closely at their backs though, they'd see two small appendages protruding from both of the children's backs. Upon closer inspection, one would see that the appendages were actually black, bird-like wings, about the size of an adults fist. The children's Fallen Angel wings were starting to develop.
Neither of the twins knew this yet, but the wings, and the power, that they both possess were one day going to be a source of great grief for the both of them, as well as a driving force that will split apart the seemingly inseparable twins. However, if they can move past that, then the twins would one day be closer than they could have ever imagined.
OK, so here's the start of my 'Akeno twin brother' story. It was an idea that popped into my head a little while ago, and when I told everyone, I received a lot of good feedback. So, here you go.
Now, something you should know, Akeno is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, girls in the DxD universe. She's gorgeous, seductive, eccentric, and any number of awesome things one could look for in a woman. If I was forced to choose from the DxD world, Akeno would be my waifu. Xenovia is a close second, followed by Kuroka.
Anywho, what do you guys think so far? And what did you think of all the stuff I put together with Barakiel and Shuri? The crying, the threats, the fulfillment of said threats. Those parts were fun to write.
