"Don't move, otherwise I'll shoot," Yuki shouted hand shaking and tears streaming down his cheeks.
The distance between him and Yuki were too great. Yonekuni had no opening to surprise the nervous man and grab the gun. He could do nothing but stand still.
"Why him?" Yuki sobbed, holding his one hand with the other to steady the gun and edge it closer to Shirou, who'd stopped squirming.
"Why him?" Yuki shouted louder placing the revolver dangerously close to Shirou's head, "I could understand women but why this man?... Why?" Yuki kept asking, both hands shaking, unfamiliar with a gun handle.
"Hey now…just put away the gun…" David softly said trying to coax the dog of the weapon or at least not to put it so close to Shirou.
"Shut up!" Yuki snapped at the older man. David kept his mouth shut.
The other kidnappers didn't move. They were too scared of their group member and were even more frightened of the 4 heavy-seeded males standing in their way of escape. They no longer wanted to take part and spill blood on their hands.
"Answer me! …Yonekuni Madarame, why him?" Yuki demanded, "What makes him so special?" Yuki screamed waving the gun.
"Because he's my first love, I met him before you," Yonekuni finally answered, hoping to start a conversation and take the man's attention away from wanting to commit murder.
"What…? First love?...Impossible you hate men." Yuki laughed, nearly choking.
"I do, even now. But I fell in love and I still love him, and whatever happens we'll share the responsibility together," Yonekuni confessed, hoping Shirou heard it. He tried to say they'll raise their child together.
Shirou couldn't believe his ears. Did Yonekuni know he was pregnant or was it all a misunderstanding? Shirou moved to look at Yonekuni and saw the other nod.
"Oh for pity sakes," Kunimasa sighed, what on earth is his brother doing confessing at a time like this?
Shirou wasn't completely sure if Yonekuni knew but the other part of the confession made his heart leap. In all the years they've been together never once did Yonekuni let those words of love pass his lips.
"Shut up! Shut up!" Yuki screamed throwing a childlike tantrum, "You can't love him. You just can't," Yuki cried in outrage.
Yonekuni quietly growled. No one tells him what he can and not do. It's his life, he'll decide. Yonekuni edged further taking the chance during Yuki's childish act as the man focus was lost to somewhere.
"Stay where you are!" Yuki ordered noticing the crocodile's movement, furthering the gun to Shirou.
Yonekuni froze, fearing the trigger would be accidentally pulled by those shaky fingers.
Shirou felt the gun's barrel grazing his head, his mind whizzing, alarm bells going off. He had to act, the shaking of the gun unsettled him greatly. Shirou stared at the gun holder with the intent to inflict injury. He had to live for the children.
"Stop staring at me," Yuki ordered. Shirou's look made him feel uncomfortable. Yuki raised the gun to strike at the victim but Shirou swerved his legs tripping the attacker. The man lost hold of the gun and it slid far away from reach. Yonekuni and the other 3 men took the opportunity and rushed to Shirou, stopping at the glint of a knife.
Yuki fell on top of Shirou and managed to get up, and pull a knife close to the neck of the wolf. Shirou snarled and growled, baring his teeth. He felt his body shrinking and was able to wiggle free from his bonds, in quick motion escaping his capturer's hold, completely transformed in his soul appearance.
Shirou stood on all fours, his tail swaying, prepared to defend and attack if necessary. His white teeth gleaming and his throat resonating with angry growls.
Everyone backed away, for they were filled with fear. Even the heavy-seeded males felt their knees quake.
Yuki, still holding the knife, stood still frozen with fear, his heart pounding hard. The white wolf circled Yuki gazing at him with red eyes, barking each time the man tried to move.
Had Shirou lost his mind? Yonekuni thought. Shirou would never be aggressive, enough to want to kill. Never had Yonekuni felt great fear except today from the very man he loved.
"He's not protecting himself is he?" David turned to Seymour.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Yonekuni asked.
"For us madararui, the most dangerous of us all isn't the heavy-seeds it's mothers with children," Seymour answered.
Then Yonekuni understood the change in Shirou's character was because he's pregnant and that their child's life is in danger. Shirou is protecting their child. Yonekuni couldn't feel anymore prouder but Shirou had still lost his common sense.
"Impossible," Yuki gasp, "I thought the wolves were instinct. They were nothing but legends."
Yuki held tightly to the knife as protection from the heavy-seeded wolf. He could feel the urge to kneel before the heavy-seed since he's a middle-seed. But Yuki controlled himself. He wasn't going to stoop that low anymore. He'll get what he wants, no matter what.
Yuki tried to get closer but Shirou would only snarl, baring sharp teeth, crouching down ready to pounce, if needed.
What's Shirou doing? Yonekuni questioned quietly, wondering how long his lover going to remain in his soul appearance form.
"Yonekuni you must calm Shirou," said Seymour, "There are legends of werewolves because of their kind. The wolves are known to loss control of themselves when they felt threatened or their loved ones are in danger. They'll fight till death, that's why there so few of them left."
Yonekuni gingerly and slowly forwarded to Shirou, slow step by slow step. "Shirou," Yonekuni called to his lover.
Shirou turned to Yonekuni but immediately his attention was back onto Yuki. "Just put the knife down, you fool," Yonekuni shouted at the middle-seed dog.
Yuki hesitated. He told himself he'll never take orders from anyone but if the myths told by his mother were true, that the wolves went nearly extinct because the ape men feared them greatly. For they would kill when they felt threatened. Yuki wasn't sure if this hiding wolf would kill him.
"Put it down," Yonekuni ordered again, "He's not just protecting himself. If he must, he'll kill you."
"What do you mean by not just protecting himself?"
"He's pregnant."
Pregnant? Yuki eyes widen, the knife slipped out his hold.
Shirou lunged for the man, only to hit Yonekuni in his soul appearance form. Thank goodness for hard crocodile skin, otherwise Shirou could have ripped him in pieces.
Shirou bounced off, landing softly on padded paws. Yonekuni roared reminding Shirou who he is. Shirou whimpered, as a form of apology. The wolf tiptoed to the crocodile, rubbing his nuzzle against the scales. Both men returned to their human form.
Yonekuni wrapped Shirou in his arms, scared he'll almost lose his loved one again. Shirou, calmed, lay limp with in exhaustion holding tight to his beloved.
"Are you ok?" Yonekuni asked looking at his lover.
"I'm fine, now that you here."
"And the baby…?"
"You mean babies…and yes they're fine."
Shirou smiled at Yonekuni's stunned face, "We going to have twins," Shirou answered.
During the entire commotion, Kunimasa managed to phone the police that arrived in not so long ago. All Shirou's kidnappers were arrested, charged and sent to jail. They never bothered Shirou again for they were afraid. For the myths of the wolves killing without hesitation seemed true.
Shirou had not intention of killing, but if it leads to him not giving life to his children he knew he would.
A/N: I wonder if any of you guessed it! I left hints now and then of how many kids our lovely couple were to expect…Well if they were going to have one or more. If you noticed when Shirou makes mentions to his kids he always says children…as for Yonekuni of course he would assume he'll get only one…right? Anyway it just for you to know, at least now guess what combinations they'll get…there's 1/3 chances you'll get it right…so good luck!
