2. Principal, Principal, Principal...

A loud creak filled the air and a tall white door was pushed open, no.. forced open by a man. He stepped in and looked around, his eyes blank as he bit his lip and stepped into the area. His shoes crunched slightly on the dirty floor... Where was everyone? It wasn't possible that this place was empty.. right? But that would explain the for sale sign in the front walk.

He'd have to talk to the landlord about that. Esspiecally when he OWNED this house.. He looked around, his eyes blank as his hand let him grab a door knob and look around slightly.. He almost grimaced from the mold smell and covered his nose to protect it.'

" W-What the..' he whispered before pausing when his foot broke a picture frame... He paused and then looked down before picking it up and titling it ever so slightly.. his eyes fixed on it,

And There in the picture was his son.. and Her... That girl, the one he got pregnant.. he would of got mad or even remotely angry.. but the anger seemed to sizzled off and left him stroking the picture with soft.. almost lost eyes...

' Oh Tomoe..' he hwispered softly, his lips dry as he shivered from the cold in the house.. and from the lack of the sounds of feet... The sounds of his son runnng up to him and saying, " Welcome home!" Or , ' Look dad! I passed my test!' Mikage twitched.. his eyes weak as he swallowed a bit.

" Where have you gone?'

Tomoe grunted and whined as he removed his shoes and groaned out, his eyes blank as he stared ahead at the wall in his appartment. He grimaced, pulling off the white sneaker and letting it hit the gorund with a small thud.. it was really early in the mring and he was trying to be quiet, But quiet wasn't the defintion of the pain he felt at the moment...

" Ow..' he hwispered and swallowed, his lips dry as he licked them and got up to get something to wet his thirst. He sighed out weakly and then went to the kitchen, he saw Gwen there, rubbing her feet and wincing before looking at him casuly.

" what did you think about day one?" She smiled slightly as Tomoe grunted a bit and shivered,

" You didn't tell me that doctor was Mrs. Hakus sister.." he joked about a man that was slightly stout. Rude,hurtful, purpossful and the one that seemed to hate demons. What was worse was he had to same scrunched up look that his old abusive teacher had.

Oi...

Gwen however laughed slightly and almost threw her head back to far as she then shook it and sihed out, " You'll get used to it.. he was just there to intemmidate trainies but hes not all that bad." She waved it off and smiled gently.. she then titled her head a bit and sighed out gently.

" How are you doing by the way?" She blinked as Tomoe paused but winced as he rolled his shoulder,

" It was harder then I expected.. I have more respect for doctors and nurses now..' he sighed out a bit and wnced " I'm only eighteen and surprisinly everything I didn't even know I have has begun to cramp up... Thats not supposed to happen until I'm really old..' he snickered as she rolled her eyes and pointed at herself.

" Like me eh?" She giggled making him shake his head and try not to laugh weakly from how she went there.' She always knew how to joke around and Tomoe was just glad he was getting some cash for stuff like this... He breathed out weakly and bit his lip slightly while he stretched.

" So..' gwen smiled and sipped her coffee, " how are you REALLY doing?" She arched her brow and looked at him slightly leaving Tomoe to blink and pause.. what did she mean by that? He wasn't sure as she grinned a bit,

" With my daughter Enstein... With her.. Hows the relationship?" She smiled slightly making Tomoe pause and then blush as he looked away.. he then grunted as he tapped his water and leaned down on his elbows..

"Well.." he hwispered and swallowed weakly.. She didn't know how awkward she was making this for him, mostly because.. well lets face it. It was Nanami's mother and this was him talking about how h and Nanami were doing with their love life..

" Its... Interesting..'

" Shes pushing you off huh...'

" Not exactly..' Tomoe squeaked and then winced slightly, " I'm not exactly trying to impress her.. or flirt with her.. or anything remotely... boyfriend like." he muttered slightly and sighed out as Gwen shook her head cutely

" But your not her boyfriend... You MARKED her. So in the Yokai world aren't you too... Married?" She arched her brow leaving Tomoe to redden and look away weakly.

" I may...or may not of told her this yet..' Tomoe whispered slightly and winced as Gwen paled but then cracked up and snickered slightly. Oh dear this boy was in deep hot water when he rdaughter found out about that... What a detail to leave out she had to say.

Meanwhile however Tomoe groaned and nearly let his head hit the run down sink in front of him,

" Ah Come on Gwen!" he whined out and nearly stiffened from her laughter, " Its not going well. She bulds walls between us as we sleep!" he whined out as gwen paused slightly but then laughed even more..

" Sounds like your relationship is romantic alright- romantically impaired.' She grinned leaving Tomoe to wave her off and blush like mad. He wasn't even used to being married and now it was getting asked of him by almost everyone that knew he and Nanami were together..'

" I'm just not ready.." he whispered weakly as she arched her brow slightly,

" Then you should of thought of that before you skipped the dating and wedding and went straight to the honeymoon mister.' She nodded sharply all of a sudden, " If your that nervous and not ready for something to serious? Ask her out and a date... get to know her even more then you already do. Love her like I know you do.. you two have a baby boy now so don't dilly dally around like some lop sidded fool. Stop waiting for your chance.. take it." She nodded a bit and sipped her drink as Tomoe groaned and banged his head down once more,

" You make it sound so easy..' he muttered as she shrugged

" I was married before..it was fun while it lasted... just don't take up drinking..' She winced at the memory while Tomoe waved it off and sighed out a bit,

" No worries.. I won't be doing something like that at all.' he whispered a bit and then sighed out weakly.. he stared put the window to the beautiful counrtyside of Kyoto,

" I mean come on..' he whispered slightly and swallowed, " me and Nanami are still getting used to country life.. and shes getting used to online schooling.." he trailed off slightly and then bit his lip. He knew it was wrong to get her pregnant.. and that wasn't his intention.

He just hoped he didn't ruin this for everyone around him.

" I know you two are, I was born here so I know a thing or two..' She smiled slightly " You too will be okay.. I promise you two that. Just smile and love each other.. and be a good parent to that baby.. he needs you guys more then ever right now.' She smiled gently as Tomoe sighed out but nodded softly.

" Yeah.. I know..' he hwispered gently and then breathed out a bit, " I do love her...its just.. difficult to say that to her face all the time. I grew up with her and used to tell her about girls I liked..so its a bit awkward for me now of all times." he muttered a bit as She nodded cutely and then sighed out gently.

" Didn't you like someone named Yukiji once?"She smiled slightly as Tomoe shrugged gently and bit his lip,

" I'm not so sure..I mean I did ya know? But it makes me wonder if I truly liked her or was fasinated that she hatd almost.. everyone I knew." he smiled weakly leaving her to laugh slightly.. Oh dear.'

: Wellllllll.' Gwen finally said after a quiet pause, " You should get some sleep... " She nodded a bit, " you did work almost half the night.' She whispered slightly making him nod as he rememebered the time and why they were talking so low... he sighed out weakly and breathed but gently nodded slightly.

" Yeah thank you..Night Gwen." he smiled as she nodded and waved him off.. he then went to his and Nanami's bedroom.. The girl was passed out, hugging her pillow while the pillow wall stood tall and justly. He gruntd weakly but stayed quiet as he slowly shut the door.. he then got some clean bed clothes and instead of changing in front of he rlike any husband would.. he blushed and then went to the bathroom.

Tomoe got ready for bed and brushed his teeth, he checked his fangs and then sighed out weakly.. thank goodness. When his mate had the baby and was recovering? His fangs would not come out for another month and a half.. he relaxed slightly and then spit before going to bed.

He slipped in quietly and then slowly moved the covers, once he did, did he slip in... the cold sheets touched his body but he relaxed slightly from the aching pain leaving his twisted and pulled joints.. Tomoe sighed out and then gently slipped the cover up to his chest before snuggling down and closing his eyes softly...

Tomoe slipped off to sleep and then sighed out gently.. his eyes weak from being secretly exhausted... but then time passed to quickly and he found himself groaning and pulling the pillow over his head as Nanami's clock went off.

The girl whined and turned only to see Tomoe half asleep and battling the clock a bit. He stared at the screen and glared weakly before she winced and then hit the snooze button.. toher shock he hardly even noticed her awake as he passed out once more.

She sighd out weakly though since the alarm woke up Hiru.. the baby looked aorund, his eyes wide since he couldn't see to far away before whimpering and letting out a cute wail.. His little ears flicked and he kicked weakly wanting someone to help him out of his make-shift bed, this left Nanami whining as she got herself up and gently picking him up.

" H-Hey hunny bunny.." She smiled softly and chuckled as she carried him to the other room she then sat on the couch and was greated by a half asleep Mizuki.. the teen whined and let his head hit his bowl of cereal making her sigh out weakly.. She then went to the living room area and sat down where Mizuki could not see her before undoing her top and letting the baby eat what he so desired that morning.

" Your very loud when your cranky..' She hwispered softly andgiggled as she tapped hsi nose playfully and cutely, her brown hair almost brushed in hr eyes before they twinkled lively, " Just like your daddy... Hes loud when hes cranky too.' She winked and giggled as the baby hummed and ate.'

The baby then seemed to finish leaving the girl to smile and gently pick him up.. She then slightly burped him leaving the baby to coo softly and relax as he slipped back off to sleep... Ah.. the wonders of newborns. She smiled gently and sighed out while Gwen walked in looking tired.

" Calmed him down?"She smiled as she sat down and Nanami nodded a bit,

" Yeah.. Can you hold him as I get ready for school?" She smiled as Gwen nodded and then took the baby. She openely cooed happily and nuzzled the child to her cheek leaving Nanami to giggle and then go and get ready.

Once done did she come in with her arms open wide.. Gwen smiled nd then handed her the baby leaving the girl to coo and giggle as she changed his diaper and then decked him in a sleeper and a cute coat that made him look like a poof ball.. The baby whined and pouted cutely.. hsi little tail straitened and then seemed to ease as she nuzzled him and then pulled her coat on as well.

" Good bye mum.' She smiled slightly leaving her to chuckle a bit and shake her head slightly,

" You would say that..

" I would.." She smiled and then hopped out the door with a skip in her step... and with great caution not to slip on ice...

She carried her baby and sighed out as she ran off to the computer lab to start her classes...

Areno smirked and then slightly looked at Rii who was sitting on his lap in his office, She sighed out and leaned her head against his chest, a soft pout on her lips.

" I should get back to work.. I can't Stay here cuddling with you all day.." She whispered and smiled as he kissed her head and leaned his chin on her crown slightly,

" Ah... True.. " he sighed out, " plus if my students walk if and see you like this, they way flip out.' He sighed while she slightly smacked his arm but nuzzled their noses together and grinned.'

" VERY true..' She smiled gently, not seeing a woman open the door and then wince slightly,

" U-Um.. Pr-Principal Areno...' She yelped slightly leaving the man to couch and- slightly let rii fall on her butt in the floor. She whined out and then glared up at her weakly while the girl tried to keep her cool slightly,

" You have someone here to see you." She nodded weakly as Areno nodded and winced as he fied his tie slightly.. his eeys fixed on the door.

" Y-yes... But of course..' he whispered and smiled weakly as Rii got up and whined slightly, She glared at him but sghed and went back to her office post while he relaxed slightly. The woman gave him a , ' uh huh..' Look and walked out leaving him slightly flustered... Until the woman that wanted to see him come in.

" Ah yes.. Do you have a complaint about a student? or maybe an enrollment plan.' he smiled gently and titled his head, presenting a beauitful smile that was similar Tomoes'... he was is uncle after all. But he was shocked when the person held up her hand and then smiled slightly,

" Wow you've grown..' The woman smiled and leaned back in her chair while Areno then paused slightly,

" I-Im sorry.. Do I know you?" He arched his brow slightly as the woman smiled a bit and then removed her sunglasses... Only Areno froze up and drew in his breathe.

" What the hell..' he whispered...

' You...'
