The constant sound of leather boots against the hard wood floor sounded in the house of Red Ringo as he awaited for the birth of his children. He was extreamly nervous, anxiously awaiting for his child, the heir to his Gun Del Sol that lays on a nearby table. Two lights float in through the nearest window, one yellow and the other light violet. The yellow one taking the form of a sun- flower with a big nose and black dot eyes. The other light takes the form of a small, wolf-like human girl with light violet fur that covered her tiny head, two wolf ears on top of her head. Her eyes a pale red with very pale skin. Her attire consisted of a simple gray tunic with dark blue shorts underneath. She wore no shoes, showing her wolf feet as she took a human posture instead of her wolf one. She flaps her two sets of white wings for a moment before landing on the table.
The sunflower is the first to speak to the soon-to-be father. "Ringo, you should calm down. The child will be here soon." Ringo stops pacing and looks to his master. "I know Otenko, but it's just so nerve racking! Will the child be a boy? A girl? Or is it twins?" Ringo goes back to pacing across the room, making the wolf-like spirit fall on her back, frustrated with the man's nervousy about his children.
"Wah!" Ringo freezes in his tracks, while Otenko and the other spirit start to fly and float again. One of the maidens is heard upstairs, running off to clean the new child. "Wah!" Another cry is heard from upstairs minutes later, sounding different than the first one. Another maiden is heard running about as the third of the delivery maidens comes down stairs. She looks tired but still smiles happily as she comes to Ringo. "They're here Ringo! Go upstairs to Mani, the first of your two kids is with her!" Without needing to be told again, Ringo dashes upstairs followed by both spirits.
At the door, Ringo slowly opens the door to avoid arousing the probably dead-tired Mani. He sees her smiling brightly as she looks up at her husband, her pale red eyes shinning happily. Mani looks surprised when two spirits enter behind Ringo, but her expression then brightens, happy that her master will be one of the first to see her first born child. Ringo sits near her on the bed, putting a hand on her knee. He coughs into his fist, looking Mani in the eye. "Um...Mani, can I...?" Mani smiles and holds out her child to Ringo, who cautiously takes the baby. "It's a boy, Ringo." She says before Ringo asks. He nods and looks down at the child, smiling.
The baby boy has light violet hair, just like his mother with the same twin bangs on the sides of his face and the child's skin was a fair color like his. The boy's mouth opens in a cute yawn, making Mani "Aww~!" at her child as he rubs his eyes and opens them to see his parents. "Wada. Muma." The two are surprised by this. Their new born baby had just tried to say 'Dada' and 'Mama'. The other thing that surprised them both was their son's eye color, which was silvery-gray like Ringo's eyes. "Wow! Looks like your kid split the genes evenly! If I'm right, then your boy here is exactly half Solar and half Lunar Child!" Mani turns her attenchion to her master who is flying above her shoulder. "Really Mistress Lunar? Are you sure?" Mani asks curiously. "Well, I can't be certin untill me and Otenko also see the other kid."
At that moment, one of the maidens walks in, holding another small bundle in a white blanket identical to their first son's. Mani holds her arms out, showing the maiden she would hold the child since Ringo held their first. The young girl hands Mani the child, bowing before leaving and closing the door behind. Lunar flys next to Mani's head, peaking at the second bundle. "Well...I guess I was right." Ringo looks up from his first born, hearing the tone in the spirit's voice that sounded worried. Ringo takes a closer look at his second child, stiffening slightly. The child was very pale skinned with sandy blonde hair resembling Ringo's, completly opposite of the first born's appearance. Otenko then looked over Ringo's shoulder to see the second child just has the child openned it's eyes, and his eyes shot open wide.
"Crimson?!" Otenko gasped at the blood red eyes of Ringo's second child that also had slightly cat-like pupils. Ringo looks shocked. 'W-What?! But Mani has pale red eyes! Not Blood Red with slightly thinned pupils!' Ringo yells in his head. He looks to Mani who looks shocked too. 'W-Where did this color come from?!' Mani thought as her second child looks up at her and blinks at her, then to Ringo. Otenko floats down and examines the child's face. "It's a boy by the way you two." Otenko announces to the new parents. He turns around to look up at Ringo when their second son grabs Otenko by the stem. "YEOW!" He yells out, struggling as the boy giggles. Mani gentally prys the blonde baby's hand away from the Solar spirit's stem. The boy pouts and grabs his mother's hand. Mani smiles sweetly at her son then relizes something.
"Uh, Ringo? What are we going to name them?" Silence.
"Well...I've been thinking about it for the last few months but I just can't narrow it down." Ringo awensers honestly. "Well, what names have you got?" Lunar asks, now sitting on Mani's shoulder. Ringo repositions his first son in his hands, hearing a giggle from the boy. He pulls out a piece of paper from his pants pocket and begins to read off the list.
"Zack, Jules, Darren, Miles, Daniel, Willson, Acelin, Django, Sabata-"
"Wait! What were those last two?" Mani interupts.
"Uh, Django and Sabata?" Ringo asks. "Yeah. Django and Sabata...I like those names." Mani muses to herself. Ringo looks at the two names on the list. 'Hm, those do seem like good names now that I think about it.' He looks down to his first son. "What do you think of the name 'Sabata' my boy?", Ringo asks the boy in his arms. The child nods slightly as his eyes grow heavy. Ringo looks to Mani. "I think we should name our first one Sabata. What do you think Mani?" She thinks for a moment before nodding in agreement. "And Django for our second son, right Ringo?" He nods at this, looking down at Sabata, who's eyes are barely open at this point. "Your name is Sabata now, okay my boy?" He then looks to his second son in Mani's arms. "And you are now Django." Django looks up at his father and tilts his head as he sucumbs to sleep like his older brother.
Unnoticed by any in the room, a bat hides underneath the bed, having heard everything. The one in the Moon Beauty's arms sounded like a better candidate that the one Ringo held. Their reaction said that they were some what shocked and possibly frightened. The bat scoots around under the bed and peers up at the Moon Beauty, seeing a small amount of blonde hair sticking out of the bundle. 'Blonde haired with crimson eyes, eh? Sounds like a good choice. I'll take...Django, right, when those two go to sleep. The Queen will be pleased.'
xXxXxXxXx
The twins fell asleep without a hitch, making it much easier for the tired Mani to sleep. Ringo returns after his nightly scouting of the area around San Miguel and soon follow suit after checking on his boys. He smiles proudly as they sleep before going to bed himself. An hour passes and the small bat makes his move. He moves out from under the bed and changes to his true form as The Count of Ground Soaking Blood, the great rival of Red Ringo. The vampire begins to float to avoid being heard as he moves across the froor to the twin's crib. The Count stares down at the children and cautiously lifts the blanket. His red eyes stare down at the blonde baby and he smirks. He slips his hands around Django and lifts the child up, holding him in his arms. Django squerms around, not liking the cold feeling. He opens eyes his blood red eyes and looks up, seeing another pair of red eyes looking down at him. He reaches his tiny hands up to try and touch The Count's face. He chuckles and begins to float over to the window when he hears a whimper from the other child.
The Count freezes in the air. Suddenly Sabata lets out an ear piercimg shriek, almost making The Count drop Django. Ringo and Mani awaken immidiately, Mani shriekling as she sees the shadowed figure of the Count holding her son in his arms. When Ringo sees this, he grabs his Gun Del Sol from the small table besides the bed and shoots The Count in the back, making the Count hiss. The Count moves fast and moves for the window, then jumps, breaking through it. Ringo yells out at the Count and Mani gasps in shock, tears in her eyes. Ringo doesn't think twice and jumps from the window as The Count runs off at top speed, Django beginning to cry. Ringo looks to the sky and yells out so the Count can hear him, even if the Count was halfway out of San Miguel.
"COUNT OF GROUND SOAKING BLOOD! YOU HAVE NOW MADE THE GREATEST MISTAKE OF YOUR UNDEAD LIFE! I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH! DJANGO, I WILL FIND YOU!" Ringo yells out. The Count looks back and shutters slightly as he continues to run, while all Django can do is cry as his home and family disappears.
xXx
Ringo watches as the Count continues to run off out of San Miguel. Tears form in the hunter's eyes as he falls to his knees, his throat dry from the great threat he planned to carry out for his poor son Django. Ringo lets his tears fall to the ground as Mani walks outside with Sabata in her arms. She was crying as she held her son and walked over to her husband. Mani only became sadder as she came closer and put her free hand on Ringo's shoulder. Sabata was unsure of what was happening as he held his mother's shirt and grips his father's shirt when he is close enough. Ringo looks down at his son and takes Sabata gentally from Mani's quivering arms. "Dj'go? Paba? Nama?" Ringo's tears only come more as he hears Sabata trying to say his brother's name, papa, and mama.
"Ringo! Mani!" The two turn around to see 2 men and a woman running towards them. Ringo pulls himself together for the sake of the coming fellow residents of San Miguel as he and Mani stand up. "Smith, Cheyanne, Lady..." He wasn't sure what to say to them and held Sabata closely yet carefully. Mani broke down again and fell into Ringo's free arm. The woman, Lady, steps forward. "Mani? Ringo? What happened? We came when we heard your yell Ringo." She looks at Ringo and sees a small bit of light violet hair sticking out from his arms. Cheyanne and Smith notice this too and step forward, all three relizing it was one of the two's children. "Where's your other son, Ringo?" Smith asks in a worried tone, fearing the worst.
Ringo looks up and his friend then down at his bare feet, new tears looking ready to fall again. "The Count...He got Django..."

6 months later... San Miguel, Late Night Heavy Storms
A young woman in a dark cloak that covers her body runs through the heavy rain, her legs glowing a bright violet as she carrys a large basket. She walks up to the house near the entrance of the City of the Sun and places the basket on the porch, a small light near the door. She looks down sadly at her day-old daughter, the child's jet black hair in a short style with fair skin, a note pinned on the inside if the basket. She closes her eyes tightly, looking away from her child as she knocks on the door before running off, her feet glowing bright violet once again as she disappears into the night.
