It had been an eventful day to say the least. Kurogane had found out he was going to be a father and that the person carrying his child was a lanky maniac. He was still slightly dazed from the whole thing. He just couldn't believe it, and when he woke up the next morning with his arm wrapped around the blonde, he took one glance at the sleeping blonde and decided things would work themselves out.
Laying there, he thought about what it meant. Thoughts drifted back to his childhood in Suwa and his parents, how his beautiful mother would always laugh and tell him stories and how his brave father would carry him around and how he was taught to wield a sword even when his mother worried. While Kurogane was reminiscing he failed to notice Fai waking up until he felt a hand placed onto his chest.
"Kuro-tan?"
"...hmm?"
"So...how are you doing this morning?" Blue eyes looked worriedly up into red ones.
"I'm fine, are you okay? I can't expect that having a baby growing inside of you is pleasent."
"I don't feel any different yet, but I'm sure that will change in a few months." Fai replied, chuckling as he cuddled closer to the ninja's warmth. A large hand began running through silken strands of the blonde hair.
All of a sudden the two adults heard a crash just outside the room that was immediately followed by hysterical giggles which they realized belonged to a certain pork bun and a shocked yelp that sounded like Syaoran.
Sighing in anger, Kurogane rose from his comfortable spot next to Fai and began to put his clothes on for the day, all the while being stared at a smiling Fai who rose and dressed as well. Both walked out to Sakura saying something about breakfast. Dreading what he would find outside his room, he ventured warily towards the door. Opening the door revealed a wet Syaoran with a Mokona rolling on the floor with barely concealed hysterics and a Sakura kneeling by the boy's side, holding a towel.
"What happened here?" Kurogane asked as Fai stood beside him.
The young princess and her savior looked up at the tall man, and, startled at his appearance, began stuttering about making a breakfast for bed or something. He was only half listening as his attention focused on a still laughing Mokona. Anger building, Fai had tried to get him in the habit of counting to ten before he reacted, but that never suited the taller man. He grabbed the manjuu by it's ears and began shaking it.
"What the hell did you do?!"
"... Syaoran..w-was..carrying a tray with cereal and... and..." Was all Mokona said as the manjuu burst into a fit of giggles.
"I'll skin you alive!"
"Wwwaaahhh! Mommy!! Daddy's threatening me again!" Mokona cried, trying to wiggle free from Kurogane's grasp.
"Now Kuro-wan, if you can't play nice with Moko-chan how are you supposed to be a good daddy?" Fai yelled from his spot in the kitchen.
The kids, thinking Fai was still playing along, didn't see the blush that tinted Kurogane's cheeks. Not wanting to have to hear Fai's teasing for a second time so early in the day he released Mokona. Kurogane then made his way to the nearest bathroom and retrieved a few towels, handing them to Syaoran.
"Thank you Kurogane-san." Sakura took the towels, giving one to Syaoran as she helped clean the mess in the hall. Kurogane only nodded in acknowledgment and left for the kitchen.
Standing in the doorway he watched the blonde move about taking out pans and opening cupbards. The ninja couldn't help but feel that this, this life of calm and happy times, were something he could and wanted to get used to. With a smirk on his face he walked up to the thin figure, knowing already that his presence had already been felt.
"Aahh! Has Kuro-wan come to help me with breakfast?" Fai smiled as he turned to look at his lover.
"Sure, whatever." The taller male sighed as Fai opened a drawer and handed him plates. Kurogane glared half-heartily at the other man's back as he left to set the table. Soon after the children and Mokona came and sat down.
The small family ate quickly and then the princess and her protector set out to gather supplies in order for them to travel on to the next world. Fai and Kurogane stayed behind with Mokona, They had to ask the witch a few things about Fai's condition.
"Mokona, could you please put us through to Yuuko?" With a nod the manjuu complied, and an image of an elegantly dressed dimension witch soon appeared before the three.
"Yuuko!!" Cried the pork bun joyously.
"What's up Mokona? Had any good alcohol lately? Is Kurogane still being mean to you?" questioned the witch.
"Well, there was the one that was really yummy...Yuuko would have liked-"
"Hey! We were the ones that needed you witch!" Kurogane yelled, Yuuko's looked at him with an annoyed expression.
"Stop your screeching...now, Fai-san, what is it you wanted?"
"Oh yes, you see...how should I put it. Hmm? Well it seems that Kuro-chii and I are gonna be proud parents and we needed to ask a few questions..." The couple was a bit surprised at the lack of surprise on the witch's face at the news.
"I see, and, may I ask, did you talk to an old woman before this?" A knowing smile was growing on Yuuko's lips.
"You had better tell us what you know you damn bitc-" Began the angry man, but Fai soon rushed in.
"So it seems you knew this was going to happen? And that we would come talk with you about it, didn't you, Yuuko-san?"
"It is Hitzusen, as you know this cannot be changed, nor can I dirty my hands in the affairs of others no matter how strongly I wish it. I can, however, tell you a few helpful things. First, although you are not naturally able to carry a child, your magic along with the effects of the potion you drank have made this possible, but only for this one pregnancy. Second, because of this your pregnancy will only last around five to six months, as your body and magic can only keep your new state stable for so long. Any other help you need you will have to go to someone else...unless you would like to pay for my services? "
"Understood. Kurogane and I thank you for your insight Yuuko-san, and we'll be sure to update you every week or so. Right Kuro-min?" Fai looked over at a brooding Kurogane.
"Whatever."
"Well then until next time! Bye Moko-chan, and don't let that brute bother you!" The witch said as her image disappeared.
An angry Kurogane began cursing at the spot where the witch's picture used to be. Fai meanwhile was thinking on what the witch said. Six months, huh? They couldn't just stay in this world for that long; Sakura still needed many of her feathers. It seemed that they would just have to keep traveling and Fai would just have to be extra careful, especially towards the end of the pregnancy. He could only hope that they wouldn't arrive in worlds that were too dangerous.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Mokona yelled in shock as it pointed a small paw at the two men. "Mommy and Daddy are having a baby!"
"Yes we are, but could you please not tell Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun? When we're ready
Kuro-pyon and I will tell them."
"OK! But on one condition"
"Why you no good stupid porkb-" A thin hand covered Kurogane's mouth before he could anger the manjuu too much.
"Alright Mokona, what would you like?"
"Wwwweeeeeellllll..." Kurogane had a bad feeling as Mokona scratched its non-existent chin in thought.
The two men were walking in the town's market, Mokona had wanted to go to the local candy shop and was currently atop Kurgane's head, a rather large lollipop in it's paw as the other was gripping black spikes of hair. After each lick it would sing a verse of it's new favorite song.
"Mommy and Daddy sitting in a tree," Mokona licked then continued. "-K-I-S-S-I-N-..."
The vein on Kurogane's head was rather large and pulsating now with the addition of the pork bun's song. Noticing this Fai glanced around seeing a book store nearby he tugged on the taller man's arm.
"Kuro-tan, we need to go shopping!" exclaimed the now excited blonde.
The angry ninja stopped his glare of death and look puzzled at the mage. "What?"
