TWF: WOHOO~! We're finally moving outside of the three! :D
Fen: Oi, I said not to push your luck, dude.
TWF: What, we're still stuck inside the box?! 8O
Fen: We were about to get out, but apparently for some reason, you want this kind of chapter we're in now, to happen, even though I said we're not doing those kinds of chapters given your attitude with last chapter.
TWF: …*taking out a small black book* I see… now he has fetish for Tiki. That's what we're doing now… *happily writing on it*
Fen: THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! GIVE ME THAT!
TWF: Oh, the whole world must know about this stuff now! *laughs out loud, running around like crazy* Enjoy this chapter, guys! Courtesy of Fen-kun's love for Tiki-wiki! XDD
Fen: KONO YAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kiva Gaiden 5: Life with Tiki
The three made a silent prayer in front of the Tomb of the Founder, as it turned out to be Kaa-san, myself and of course, the newest addition to the family… TIki. Yes, Tiki. I married her 10 years ago, after the final battle and the Riders' return. Never in Kaa-san's mind that her best friend would be her new daughter-in-law, despite the wide age gap. Nevertheless, she still accepted it all openly, allowing both of us, a half-Fangire and manakete to unite as one. Because of that, Tiki felt everlasting happiness in her life, even though she knew someday, she had to let us go as time goes by. But even so, she'd make use of this short marriage life together, making it a marriage life that she will never forget. Tiki is also more gladly to take care of the Tomb of the Founder, as a part of her legacy as well.
"It is now done…" Kaa-san said, as the prayer has ended for her parents. "Father, please watch over of us… myself and your grandson's new family."
"Jii-san… I pray that you would always protect us and the new generation of Kiva." I said.
"Yes… I pray to that as well, Kurogasa…" Tiki smiled, rubbing her swollen stomach, in which she is in her fourth month. "The lineage of Kiva continues on and shall be under Naga's care… that, I shall guarantee."
"I remember when we confessed to each other and you were worried because of the huge age gap." I recalled.
Flashback - 10 years ago
"You… what?" Tiki asked surprised.
"Yes, I'm in love with you, Tiki. I have been ever since you saved me in my dreams and when I laid eyes on you." I confessed.
"K-Kurogasa… this is… quite unexpected for me…" Tiki said, looking away nervously. "Never in my life, for three millennia… shall I find myself a soul mate… a human mate, no less…"
"You… you don't accept my feelings?" I asked worried.
"N-No, it's not that, Kurogasa!" she quickly defended. Looking back down, she muttered, "I am truly blessed with this confession, truly, I am… but…"
"But…?"
Taking a deep breath, she looked at me, saying, "Our age gap… and my growth… are you alright with that? There would be a day, where you shall leave me and… I would be all alone again…"
"I realize that, Tiki." I said holding her shoulders. "If there's anything I can do, if I could somehow break reality then I can be a Manakete too and we could live the rest of our days that way, but I know it doesn't work that way. Still… while I'm still here, I can make you the happiest woman you've ever been in your entire life."
"Truly?" she looked at me, filled with hope. I nodded at her question. "Then… shall we make a promise, under the full moon and Naga, that as long as you're alive, you shall never leave my side and would always make me happy, no matter what happens?"
"Without question." I said unhesitantly. "And I'm sure we'll have lots of children, too. So you won't be alone, even after my passing."
"Children…" she pondered, giggling a bit. I just couldn't help but see her childish side cute. "...that sounds… like a great idea. I'll be sure to always tell a tale of Kiva to our children, and our grandchildren… and so on. It would be our very own legacy and my memento of the two of us together…"
"Thank you." I said before we leaned in kissed passionately under the moonlight.
After breaking the kiss, Tiki said, "But I wonder…"
"Hm?"
"How many children do you want to have?" Tiki giggled.
"Uh well…" I got out, blushing while looking away.
"I do not mind… having many children, Kurogasa." she smiled, blushing as well on the idea. "The little chaos in life would actually be a good thing, as I can dedicate myself to teach them new things. My mother would be more than happy, knowing her grandchildren would carry on her blood, just as I. With their existence, I won't be lonely, even after your passing…"
"Yeah, I guess you're right." I laughed sheepishly. "Well in that case I want to have-"
End Flashback
"After I found out about my heritage, at least it's good to know that at least my life extended just a bit… beyond the limit age of humans…" I noted.
"That is a good thing for me, my love." Tiki smiled, resting her head on my shoulder while wrapping her arms around mine. "At least you'll be sticking around with me a little longer, so we can make more memories."
"Aren't both of you feeling comfortable?" Kaa-san teased, making both of us blush a bit.
"K-Kaa-san…" I mumbled.
"Matilda, p-please… the teasing is not help us…" Tiki mumbled childishly, making Kaa-san giggle.
"Forgive me, but I just can't help it, my friend… or should I call you my daughter-in-law?" Kaa-san giggled a bit more, seemingly enjoying herself teasing her best friend.
"I-In any case, I suppose Morgan and Kan'shou are waiting for us outside of the temple for too long… they must be tired of waiting of us, along with many of our children…"
"Yeah. Nine to be exact with number ten on the way." I chuckled.
Yeah, I wasn't kidding about the number. Throughout the years of our marriage, I was able to pop Tiki's belly and we were either getting a healthy single child or a pair of twins. And they also come in different figures, like some are more human-like, and some have Manakete features in them, as well. I was surprised when Tiki told me that Manaketes have a very low rate of fertility, hence the number of Manakete in this world are less than 100. I was worried at first, not knowing if I could fulfill her promise of surrounding her with many children. But, thanks to the genes of my Fangire legacy, we tend to have these strong urges, and we have a very high rate of making our mate pregnant, no matter how low her fertility is. She is more than happy about it, knowing that she'll never be alone.
I can only imagine how that number would turn Castle Plegia upside down. Those caretakers would be having a difficult time controlling them.
"A normal human would have much trouble with this sort of number." Tiki said. "But that's not the case for me. In fact, I'm more than happy to be a mother of our children, Kurogasa. A proud bearer of your seed."
"And what about Naga?" I asked. "I'm sure she was more than happy to be a grandmother."
"She is ecstatic of having more descendants along the way." Tiki smiled. "This way, our population would increase in no time. Though, Nowi would definitely tease us to no end after this, knowing the child."
"I can see the possibility, Tiki." Kaa-san smiled. "That child is nothing but a bag of fun and happiness in her. And compared to Nah…"
"Yeah…" I smiled, inviting Kaa-san with a gesture with my other arm. "Shall we, Kaa-san?"
"We shall, my son." she smiled, wrapping her arms around mine and started to head back up.
As we head back up, and returned the surface of Mila Tree, I can see Morgan and Kan'shou, telling a tale that caused her children and mine to giggle lightly. Morgan had a similar situation like Tiki. She had a low rate of fertility, but on a full moon, and some other conditions, she will have this urge of having some 'love time' with her husband and at that time, her fertility is at its highest. She already had two kids of her own, and both of them are joining along with nine of ours, including her younger self and the eldest of the family, Morgana. She's twelve years old, and she was born after the war and during my disappearance. "And that's why it's good to remember to keep your windows opened at all times."
"Hee, hee!" Morgana giggled. "Mommy and Daddy can be silly sometimes…"
"Yep!" a pair of twins, who is second and third member of the family, giggled. Both of them are two years younger than Morgana, having similar features of Tiki's, including their clothing, but had my hair color and eyes. And definitely they had my bursting personality. The only way to tell which is which is their height. The third child is slightly taller than the second.
"Oi, just what are you telling them, Morgan?!" I called out with mock anger, but had a hint of a smirk on my face.
"Daddy!" my children noticed me, as they immediately swarmed both Tiki and I. The youngest two, on the other hand, both aged 2 and 1 respectively and both of them being boys, are looking at us blankly at their seats. It's because my second youngest, Alex, held his youngest brother, Nils, on his lap, since that kid doesn't know how to walk yet. Oh, both of them had the human features.
"Goodness me, such burst of energy all of you have…" Tiki giggled, patting two of their heads with both of her hands.
"Big sister tell funny story, Daddy!" the fourth child, Mila, a year younger than the twins, having a human-like features but having Tiki's hair color and length, and also wearing the dress Tiki provided, smiled.
"Daddy and Mommy do funny things…" our fifth son, Marth, muttered cutely. He is our first born son in our family and Tiki wanted to named him after her first friend, Marth, or simply known as Mar-Mar. And he had my features and looks, wearing clothing that befits how a boy should wear, with a Kiva insignia on his shirt. And he's six years old.
"Mommy and Daddy do it? Like making kitchen on fire?" the remaining pair of twins, Matthew and Henry, got out, the sixth and seventh child within my family. Both of them are 4 years old, having my looks but having a prominent Manakete ears and their mother's eyes. And most of these kids have one thing in common: all of them are bursting with energy.
"Seriously, what kind of funny things that Morgan tell ya huh?" I smirked at the kids. "I hope it's not something that will embarrass me to no end."
"Grandma and grandpa make kitchen fill with smoke!" my oldest grandson, Masao, giggled.
"Yep! Like big brother said!" Valka, the current youngest of her family, agreed.
"Oh… I truly hope none of you would recall such a tale…" Tiki blushed. "I had such a craving during my pregnancy days and it was by accident, the flames are too high, ended up having my meal to be burnt…"
"Yeah, and I was kinda surprised too." I sweat dropped. "You could've asked the maids to do it for you, Tiki. You're the Queen of Plegia and Fangire, y'know?"
"I know, but it is best to do it with my effort, my love." Tiki chided me.
"Daddy! When we go home?" Morgana chirped.
"Tomorrow." I told her.
"Yay~!" the kids cheered, making Morgan giggle.
"They are so like you, Father."
"Gee, what was your first clue?" I rolled my eyes playfully with a smile.
"The reason you wanted to stay here until tomorrow is because of the festival Chon'sin is having?" Kan'shou asked.
"Yeah, and as the grandson of the Founder, I have a duty to appear there, to officially start the festival." I said, telling to my son-in-law. "Besides, it's a good time for me to spend my time with my family, too."
"Be prepared to have your money emptied, Kurogasa. These children would definitely buy a lot of things during that time." Tiki giggled.
"I highly doubt that." Kaa-san pointed out. "With your appearance, I can tell many would give out gifts to you and your children, dear friend. You are an important figure to them, just as my grandson."
"Heh… well anyways, let's go to Chon'sin, we have a festival to go to!" I cheered.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" the kids cheered with me smiling at their antics. Castle Doran let out a roar, ready to go as well.
"Look at them…" Tiki smiled, wrapping her arms around mine once again, as Kaa-san, Kan'shou and Morgan guided those little critters happily towards Castle Doran. "They are so energetic…"
"Yeah." I smiled.
"Does it turned out just the way you're expecting, my love?" she asked, resting on my shoulder.
"It turned out more than just that." I said. "And I'm still quite surprised you still had a beautiful figure, despite the number of children you gave birth to, Tiki."
"It is all for your sake, my love." she smiled. "I wanted to make sure it is a feast for your eyes, as you laid your eyes upon me and my very being. My very vulnerable self."
"Ho~? Flirting with me while still pregnant huh?"
"Hm~, maybe?" she teased back. "After the tenth, there will be the remaining two, completing the dozen of children that you dreamt of having. I will be sure to give you the best love of your life for the remaining two."
" I don't doubt that." I smirked.
"And maybe at nighttime… we had a little bit of 'fun' of our own? I… had a little bit of urge in me." Tiki asked, blushing slightly. "I know you can be very delicate in our love making session… especially during my pregnancy days…"
I looked at her stunned. She wanted me to-
"Is something the matter? Is the request seems to be out of place, my love?" she looked at me curiously.
"Huh? No, no. It's just… are you sure?"
"I'm certain. It is a rare request, yes?" she said. "And you rarely accepted my offer when I asked of it, especially during my pregnancy days. I know you are very careful when it comes down to it, but I just can't seem to contain myself for today. But not to worry, it's only one of those days where my urges are derailed a bit from my usual cravings for food."
"Oh… well in that case… hope you're ready for a lot of rounds."
"I am more than happy to, my love." she smiled, as both of us shared a gentle kiss.
"Mommy! Daddy! Hurry up! We need to go!" Morgana chirped happily. "We're waiting for you!"
"Come now. Our children awaits us." Tiki said, pulling my arm happily. "We don't want to have our children waiting for us for too long, especially Nils. He requires a lot of attention, after all."
"Right." I chuckled before the two of us followed Morgana.
