Inside the house, Ma continued to console the wailing baby.

"Shh...it's ok baby...shhh..." She began rocking the baby back an forth. The child stopped crying and went back to sleep.

"Hmm..." Pa said eyeing the baby, "Is it a boy or a girl?" he finally asked.

Ma replied, "Well, lets see..." she lifted a part of the cloth and peeked inside. "Oh! It's a girl!" she exclaimed.

"What was that crying?" a voice said from a back hallway. A young woman with long, silky black hair wearing a dark green robe and a white apron stepped out of the hall.

She gasped, "A baby?"

"Oh! Bigiku!" Ma said.

The woman walked cautiously towards the bundle of cloth Ma held in her hands.

"Where did it come from?"

Ma explained, "Well, there was a knock on the door, and when I answered it, there was a baby on the front step!"

Bigiku stared down at child, "Is it a boy?"

"No," Pa said let down, "It's a girl...dammit..." he mumbled that last part.

"Here, let me hold her." Bigiku said grabbing the baby slowly. She looked down at the child and smiled. "The twins are going to love her."

"What should we name her?" Ma asked.

"Hm..." Bigiku looked up, "It has to be something pretty, but also fits her personality."

"She's a freaking newborn! She has no personality yet!" Pa interjected. Ma gave him a menacing look and he imediatly looked away.

"How about Tora? That's a pretty name," Ma sugested.

"Hm...I don't know...it just doesn't seem to fit her. Natsu would be good."

"Yeah, or Miku."

Bigiku gasped, "Miku! Yes, Miku would be perfect!"

Then, two small figures entered the room from the hallway. Twins, a boy and a girl with black hair and piercing dark green eyes, were rubbing their eyes.

Bigiku smiled at them, "Hi there, Asa and Yoru. Did you sleep well?"

The two still drowsy children nodded, but their drowsyness soon wore off when they layed eyes on the baby in their mother's hands.

"Mommy, wassat?" The little girl said pointing to the baby.

"This, Asa, is a baby. Ma found it outside."

The boy asked, "Wassit's name?"

"Well, were just decided her name is going to be Miku. Don't you two like it?" Bigiku sat on her legs so Asa and Yoru could see the baby better.

"No." Yoru spoke firm. "I think his name should be Otoko!"

"But it's a girl, sweetheart"

"Oh!" Asa said excitedly, "Then her name is Onna!"

"Well.." Ma said stooping down next to Bigiku. "We already decided to name her Miku."

"No." Yoru said staring at the baby.

"Why not, Yoru?"

"Because her name is Kyuketsuki."

Ma and Bigiku exchanged confused looks.

"What?"

"Her name is Kyuketsuki." Yoru said again not taking his eyes off the baby.

Asa agreed, "Yea yea! Kyuketsuki!"

"I don't think Kyuketsuki is a good name for-"

"No..." Bigiku interupted Ma.

"...Kyuketsuki is a wonderful name."

Ma stood up, "Well, alrightly then. If you three want to name the kid Kyuketsuki that badly then go ahead, but I'm telling you right now, people are going to make fun of her."

Ma walked off into the kitchen and started washing dishes. Pa who had been sitting idley by, got up and proceeded to the kitchen also.

Asa and Yoru had lost interest and left to go play with some of their toys.

The only person who remained was Bigiku, who still was holding the baby tenderly. The slumbering infant shifted in the cloth and her eyes opened. They were a dark black with, what seemed like, a hint of red. The childs face gazed upon Bigiku's and smiled. Her tiny hands reached up and grabed on to two dangling pieces of Bigiku's hair.

"Hi there...Kyuketsuki..."
