"Shh, calm down guys." I said calmly, nudging them with my head for comfort until they calmed down. Just then, I morphed into my human form.
When they finally fell back asleep, we fixed up Zexion and then left to the hallway to talk.
"Roxas is gone too." Amy said, tears slipping down her face for the first time in a while.
I hugged her, wishing that things would get easier for us.
I let go.
"Where do you think they went?" I asked.
"The warrior dimension." She said.
I nodded solemnly.
"They've abandoned us then." I said.
"No, I think they just need time to themselves." She responded, her hazel eyes glittering.
"Oh..." I said.
"Um, also... Lightningblaze and Axel left earlier to go to a doctor's appointment. Do you have any idea what that is about?" She asked.
"No, not really." I said, somewhat confused.
'Did Aune accidentally light something on fire again?...'
"The little ones will be up soon, would you mind watching them for a minute? I'd really like to take an actual shower for once." I said, looking at her questioningly.
Amy nodded.
"Definitely. Do you want me to shapeshift so that I'm their size?" She asked.
"Yeah, I guess. They need to rest though, so not much playing. They aren't supposed to be so developed. We can only hope they never figure out how to morph into this kind of form. It could stunt their growth this early." I said.
She smiled, "That's what I was thinking."
I then exited the hallway and made my way towards the bathroom, ready to enjoy a nice hot shower.
Risingstorm's Point of View.
I entered the room, glad to be babysitting. I've always had a soft spot for kits. Especially when I know their mommy. I sat down on the bed next to them ,placing my arms at my sides, and closing my eyes. I took in a deep breath and allowed myself to imagine I was in my warrior form, only that this time I was about the size of a three week old kit.
Suddenly, a bubbly sensation filled my chest that spread alarmingly fast around the rest of my body. When it ceased, I opened my eyes again and allowed myself to adjust to such a small body.
I took a deep breath in and curled up next to Blackkit, who seemed to be shivering.
She whimpered slightly in her sleep, worrying me for the millionth time since she was born.
It was amazing to me that even though they weren't mine, I loved them like they were. I smiled as Burningkit began to stir.
"Shh, honey. Everyone else is still asleep." I said.
He nodded and got up on his wobbly legs, attempting to walk towards me.
I allowed him to, proud that he didn't fall even once.
"What do you want to do when you become a warrior?" I asked him as he sat down beside me.
"I don't know, maybe I'll be a leader someday. Doesn't Burningstar sound cool?" He said somewhat excitedly.
I nodded.
"I didn't ever think Wolfheart would go for someone like me... Someday you will find love as well, and it will probably be unexpectedly." I said, giving my knowledge to the small kit.
"What if no one wants me to be with them? Like what happened to Graystripe!" Burningkit asked.
"Well, to be honest, when it comes down to it by the time you fall in love with someone...It won't matter what others think of the two of you together because you will complete eachother." I said.
"Oh."
"It's nothing that a kit needs to be worrying about. You will be fine honey. I promise."
He looked up at me, his amber eyes holding more knowledge than they should.
Slowly, his brother and sister also stirred.
Shiningkit immediately began swatting at his sister, who mewled fiercely at him.
I could already tell she wasn't a morning person.
Blackkit then began hissing at him, arching her back in a defensive position.
'Damn, she's going to be one hell of a force to handle when she is a teenager...'
"Blackkit! Don't bother with that, he isn't worth it."
"No, but he deserves it!" She growled, backing down anyway.
-Five hours later-
Third Person
Aune was nervous, and everyone knew it. She seemed very unsure of herself, green eyes darting about under the side fringe of her brown hair.
"So, I've called you guys here because I have something really important to tell you..." She said, looking up at Axel who stood next to her calmly for support. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed a brief peck on her cheek.
"We went to the doctor's office today and they ran some tests to see if I was doing well. I am, but they also had other news to give me. I'm-"
"We're pregnant!" Axel said, grinning from excitement.
The silence was deafening in the previously loud room.
Amy and Ysh(Eaglesoul) both squealed with glee. No wonder she had been acting so weird!
Aune then stood in front of Axel, almost protectively.
"What? Do you want more than just one f-" Ysh began but was interrupted.
Suddenly, Embergaze and Roxas burst into the room.
"Is-Is, the room clean?"They gasped in unison.
"Yeah..." Aune said.
Then, an unbelievably tall blunette that was extremely busty entered the room. Her eyes were a slate grey.
"Patientstar?" Amy asked disbelievingly.
"Your friends here have spent hours in our world convincing me to be here, and I can see why. Anyone who wishes to return to the clan, may." She said generously.
Aune looked at Axel, and then all of the friends around her.
She couldn't just leave him, and he wouldn't return there because he knew it wasn't where he belonged.
It didn't take much for her to realize this would be goodbye.
"It's okay man... Come here." Ysh said.
Aune hugged her wordlessly.
"Is this akward for just me?" Embergaze said.
"Nope." Axel agreed.
...?
"Where's Amy and Roxas?" Embergaze asked.
Aune let go from the ridiculously long goodbye hug.
"They said something about the wizarding dimension... Like they needed to pose as someone to get this guy named Harry to kill this random ass snakey dude?"Demyx said.
"You sound like a hippie." Aune said.
"Shut up! I'm not a hippie!" He said, and began to chase a screaming Aune around the room.
"AGHHHHH I'M GONNA DIIEEE!" Aune screamed.
"... Maybe if we back away slowly they won't notice we left..." Axel said jokingly.
Aune turned briefly, as if she was going to punch him in the face but was interrupted by a tackle from Demyx.
"I would appreciate it if you could all calm down and listen."Patientstar said, glaring at them.
Just then, Zexion entered the room.
"Demyx, come on. I believe it's time we leave castle oblivion and go on an adventure of our own. I'm tired of these idiots and their drama."
Demyx looked up at him and smiled.
"Damn! Is everyone getting som-"Ysh said, but was interrupted by a glare from Patientstar.
"I need to know who is going to come back to the clan and who isn't. They won't accept you if you are gone much longer." She said.
Axel stood up, "I don't belong there, so I won't allow myself to hold residency there. However, I'll visit often with our future kits and Lightningblaze as to prevent the need of a new deputy."
Patientstar nodded, and looked to Embergaze and Eaglesoul.
"Are you two and the kits the only ones coming?" She said.
They nodded.
"Well, lets be off then." Patientstar said.
"See you guys later." Embergaze said.
Eaglesoul just nodded, after all she was preoccupied with the kits now in her arms. Embergaze then lifted his hand in the air and lead them through a purplish black portal, never to return to this world.
'Our paths may not cross again, but our children's will...' Axel thought.
