I'm back! Quake in f34r, mortals! Just kidding. Like I can really make
anyone quake in f34r. Or even fear, for that matter. I suck.
Merina in property of Merina, and she's got a Folken! FOLKEN-SAMA! *glomps* So no stealing.
To Merina- Glad to please. This is a great story to write, and trying to figure out how characters from different series will interact only makes it that much more interesting.
To Songwind- Heehee. Amazed and flattered. Warm and fuzzy. Not what I want people to feel reading this story. Shocked and horrified, yes. Warm and fuzzy, no. But if that's how you feel, that's how you feel. Nothing I can do about it.
~*~*~*~
Donn sighed deeply, casting a longing glance at Usagi, Bik-chan, and Chichiri, who were playing a lively game of Taunt-the-Sano.
"Something wrong?" Nuriko asked pleasantly, smiling down at his trainer.
"I want to be young again." Donn whispered, smiling as Usagi finally shouted 'Bird-brained Bird Head' one too many times and took off with a shriek, Sano a mere step behind her. "I want to be able to run and play carelessly, like I did when I first got here. But I suppose that's impossible, ne?"
"You'll walk again soon, Donn. Then you'll run, then you'll play, and time will make you carefree again." Nuriko stated soothingly, watching with open amusement as Sano tackled Usagi, and was promptly whacked upside the head with a giant boomerang. "You'll join them in their games in time."
"Ko-chan," Donn said suddenly, wrapping her thin arms around her equally thin waist, "I think Heero knows."
There was a moment of stunned silence, then, "He would, wouldn't he? Do you want to tell the others?"
"Not yet." Donn said decisively. "Soon, but not yet."
"I'm sure they'll understand."
"I hope so."
"There's someone up ahead." Wufei said, looking ahead to where the road curved behind the trees.
"You sure?" Wufei's trainer asked, playing with her long red ponytail.
"Positive." The Chinese pilot asserted, just as two tiny figures appeared down the road. The taller of the two tackled the other, only to be knocked away by something large, dark, and flying.
"Maybe it's a battle." Merina said, tossing her hair back over her shoulder.
"... I don't think so." Sesshomaru said after a moment, as another, tinier figure came into view, jumping wildly.
"Shall we go investigate?" Folken (A/N- *glomps*) asked.
"Don't see why not." Merina agreed, shrugging. "It's not like we've got anything better to do."
With that, the entire group set off down the road towards the figures in the distance.
"Donn!" Bikky shouted, waving his arms wildly as he ran to where Nuriko, Donn, and Anya were resting. "Donn, there's a whole bunch of Bishies coming down the road, and I think there's a trainer with them!"
"Thank you for telling me, Bik-chan." Donn said calmly, handing the Chibi a can of soda. "Shall we go meet them?"
"Sure!" Anya said brightly, a little hyper from the amount of candy Bikky and Usagi had fed her.
"Nuriko, if you don't mind." Donn stated politely.
"Not at all." In one fluid, practiced motion, Donn was in her Bishie's arms and headed towards the rapidly growing group on the road.
"Hey!" The first of the group, a pale girl with long red hair that Donn assumed was a trainer, shouted, waving enthusiastically. "Hey up there!"
"Hey yourself!" Anya shouted back, waving both her arms vigorously in response.
"Wow! That guy's boots rock!" Usagi exclaimed suddenly, breaking ranks to introduce herself to a tall Bishie with black and white hair and a rock concert worthy outfit.
"She would notice his shoes." Donn's Heero muttered, going back to his laptop. "Her tiny world revolves around shoes and hair."
By that time, the redhead had made it to the group, though the others were still about a dozen feet away.
"Heyas! My name's Merina!" She exclaimed happily. "Boy, am I glad to see you! Can you believe my idiot of a Sesshomaru lost our map?"
"You too?" Anya asked with a put-upon sigh. "Am I the only trainer in these parts that didn't loose her map or something?"
"She has a Folken." Donn stated quietly, staring at aforementioned Bishonen with clear longing in her huge eyes. "I've always wanted to hug a Folken."
"Back off!" Merina yelled, jumping to interpose herself between Donn and the precious Folken.
"No offense was meant, Miss Merina." Nuriko said. "My trainer was simply admiring your Bishonen. I assure you, she is no danger to him."
"And how can I be sure of that?"
"I give you my word, if the fact that Lady Donn is unable to stand under her own power is not persuasion enough." Alfeegi said testily, moving to defend his trainer.
"Aw, you can't stand up on your own? I had no idea. I feel bad for ya." Merina said, smiling nervously at the Bishies ranged behind Nuriko and Donn. Then suddenly, "Oh my god, is that a Chibi?!"
"Argh!" Bikky screamed upon discovery and promptly dashed for cover behind Sango and Kurama. "Keep that crazy chick away from me!" The tiny blonde yelled, peeking around his adoptive parents.
"Bikky!" Sango admonished, glaring over her shoulder at him. "Be nice! I don't know what that husband of mine has been teaching you, but I know for a fact I taught you better manners than that!"
"So now suddenly it's my fault he's got bad manners?" Kurama demanded indignantly.
"Yes!" Sango and Bikky exclaimed in unison.
"Heero, I think I'm getting a migraine." Donn said weakly, rubbing her temples. "Would you happen to have some painkillers in that spandex space pocket of yours?"
Her Heero made a rude face and corresponding comment as he dug into his backpack and pulled out a bottle of aspirin. "Here." He said shortly, forking over his water bottle as well. "Spandex space pocket, my ass." He muttered.
"And a fine ass it is." Donn countered, tossing two pills in her mouth and swallowing quickly. "Thank you."
"... so I've come to the forgone conclusion that we should travel with you!" Merina finished with a flourish, downing another can of soda. "And don't you think it's about time Folken gave you back to your Nuriko?" The redhead added, glaring at Donn.
"Must I?" Donn asked, sighing heavily. "Oh, well. Nuriko, come get me before our new friend looses it on my poor defenseless rear."
"Nah, she goes for the head." Haru, the rock star wannabe, said, ducking as his trainer proceeded to demonstrate just that.
Donn, meanwhile, was picked up and transported back to Nuriko's spot across the clearing. The tiny girl glanced meaningfully at the Fushigi Yuugi Bishonen, turning to gaze at her scattered Bishies.
"Now?" Nuriko asked softly, his voice touched with light anxiety.
"Now." Donn repeated forcefully. "Can you get their attention?"
"Of course." Nuriko cleared his throat. "Can we have everyone's attention over here, please?" He questioned loudly, waving his free hand for emphasis.
Usagi, Bikky, Sano, and Wufei immediately stopped their game of Tease- the-Heeros, much to the relief of two nearly identical brunette Bishonen, who in turn looked up from their laptops. Merina stopped chasing Haru, who peeked out of the tree he'd taken refuge in. Sesshomaru and Folken looked up reluctantly from their chess game (Folken was teaching Sesshi-chan).
"Yes, Nuriko?" Sango asked, casually saving Daughter from becoming a black blob with wings and keeping Kurama out of dessert at the same time.
"Ko-chan and I have something we'd like to tell you all." Donn said quietly.
"Ko-chan?" Anya asked, a sneaking suspicion forming in the back of her mind. "That gives me a semi-strange idea..."
"Semi-strange about sums it up." Donn's Heero muttered, taking off his jacket and throwing it at Wufei because throwing his laptop or gun would just be stupid. "And you can can it, Justice Boy."
"What did you call me?" Wufei demanded indignantly, reaching for his katana.
"Please." Somehow, Donn's whisper cut through the brewing fight. "I must ask that you save your squabbles until a later time."
"Like Donn just said, she and I have an announcement to make."
"Actually, Ko-chan, I said we had something we would like to tell them." Donn giggled softly before sobering up again. "But that's beside the point." She paused again, looking uncertainly at her new friends. Anya would probably understand, if Donn was reading her right. Merina, however, might not. And that posed a problem. But she hadn't come this far to give up because of a few doubts. "I... I'm pregnant." Of all the Bishies and trainers around the fire, only the Heeros did not fall over, faint, or nearly loose their eyeballs. "But..." Sango said, confused. "If you're... then you must have... who... oh!" The InuYasha Bishojo's eyes widen even more as understanding dawned on her. "Then..." "I'm the father." Nuriko affirmed with a soft smile.

How's that for a cliffie? I think I should have ended it when she said she was pregnant, but oh well. I think I'll just leave it as is for now.
