~Dreams of Fire Ch 13
"Nekoyoma!"
The next thing the demon knew he woke up back in his suite. The lights off and the soft chatter of talking coming from the living room. Something that had the male slowly sitting up in confusion and forcing himself out of bed. The male walking to the door and hesitantly opening it, before he noticed Scarlett, Griffin, and Rin sitting on the couch. His mate sitting in-between them with a smile on his face, before he noticed his presence and quickly turned toward him; a worried look on the half-demon's face.
"You're awake, how are you feeling?" Scarlett asked, as she turned to look at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Fine. What happened?" Nekoyoma asked, before Rin's face fell a little and the male demon sitting beside Rin sat up a little.
"You found out your mate was pregnant and fainted." Griffin spoke, as Nekoyoma's eyes widened and Rin's face flushed.
"Y-You're kidding, right?"
"No." Silence premented through the room, as Nekoyoma leaned against the doorway. Rin looking at him in worry and making a move to get up, before Griffin grabbed his mate's arm and had him stay sitting. "I double checked after we got you here and it's confirmed. Rin is pregnant and he is carrying your offspring."
A soft breath followed, as Nekoyoma ran a hand through his hair and a soft chuckle left his lips. The male looking to the half-demon sitting on the couch and giving him a soft smile.
"How are you feeling, babe?"
"A little nauseous, but I'm alright." Rin softly replied, as he returned the smile aimed toward him. "Griffin gave me a bunch of tips, while you were asleep, so it makes the pregnancy easier."
"That's good."
"Well, I'm out of here." Scarlett spoke up, as she got up and stretched. "I still have a bad demon to punish and a blank to find."
And before any of them could speak the woman quickly left. The door almost slamming behind her, as Nekoyoma hesitantly made his way over to the couch and sat beside his mate. Rin instantly scouting closer to him and cuddling into his side, as the older wrapped an arm around his mate's waist and held him close. Their tails intertwining and a smile appearing on Rin's face.
"You know about pregnant mates, correct?" Griffin spoke, as Nekoyoma looked up from his mate and at the doctor.
"Yeah. Demonic pregnancies take six months ad since Rin's male he'll have a C-section." Nekoyoma spoke, as the doctor nodded. "He'll be nauseous to start out, but after the third month he should be fine."
"Correct." Griffin spoke happily, as his lavender eyes turned blue. "Do you have any questions?"
"How long before we know the gender?"
"Probably around the month and a half mark." Griffin replied. "The offspring won't be developed enough to see with a monitor, but I'll be able to sense it. Any other questions?"
A shake of the head was all he got, as the doctor nodded and stood up.
"If that's all I'll take my leave."
A nod of the head left the male, before the doctor left and Rin pressed harder into his side. His mate practically curled up against him, as Nekoyoma gently rubbed his hip and let his fingers slide against his mate's belly. A soft purr leaving him, before he paused and Nekoyoma looked down at him in worry.
"Rin, something wrong?" Nekoyoma asked, as his mate nodded and looked up at him in worry. "I just realized I have to tell Yukio I'm pregnant."
A soft knocking echoed through the room as the teen sitting on the bed looked up. A hesitant smile appearing on the exorcist's face, as he rung his hands and hesitantly tried to sign.
Good morning.
In an instant the demon perked up and a hopeful look appeared in his eyes. The boy setting his book down in his lap, before signing back.
Good morning.
Hungry?
Already ate.
In an instant a confused look appeared on his face as Yori silently chuckled. The teen picking up his pad and writing what he signed, before showing it to the other.
"Oh, sorry. I only just started last night." Yukio muttered, as he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.
You mean after you left?
A small nod was given as Yukio read the teen's handwriting and Yori's eyes widened.
You've only been gone for five hours!
"Well, it was harder than I thought." Yukio frowned as he stared down at his hands. "It's amazing you can learn a whole new language with hand gestures, but it's hard to learn them all."
You'll get there. You made a big leap already.
"I only learned a phrase."
Better than none.
A small smile appeared on Yukio's face, as Yori gave him one of his own.
I'll teach you a funny sign.
A look of confusion fell over the exorcist's face, before Yori set his pencil down. The teen held his right arm out, bent at the elbow, before placing the back of his left hand against his elbow and wiggling his finger of his left hand.
Bullshit.
Was written after, before they burst into laughter. Yori's laughter coming out as wheezing and his face red, before a smile appeared on his face and Yukio couldn't help but return it.
Now you know two phrases.
"You could be a teacher." Yukio spoke, as Yori's face suddenly fell. "Yori?"
You need to be able to speak to teach. So I'd be useless.
In response Yukio used the new sign the teen just taught him and Yori stared at him in surprise.
"You don't have to speak to teach others." Yukio spoke, as he put his hand on the pad in Yori's lap. "You have a way to communicate with others, like everyone else. You can teach and people can learn from you."
But what if they don't pay attention to me? Or they find me boring? I can't hold an argument without a voice. I'm nothing without one.
In an instant Yori found himself pulled forward into the exorcist's arms. Tears he hadn't realized that were there rolling down his face being wiped away by the older, before a soft kiss way placed on his forehead. The younger stiffening slightly, before he noticed the small smile on Yukio's face.
"That's why you have me, Yori. I'll always be here for you." Yukio spoke, as he held the teen close. "And you don't need a voice. You've done so much without one. You woke up Nii-san when he was on the brink of death and Scarlett told me about the demon."
Almost instantly the teen stiffened and Yukio held him tighter.
"You fought bravely up till now and I envy you for that. So no matter what happens next I'll protect you."
A teary smile reached the older, before Yori leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on the exorcist's lips. Yukio's eyes widened for a moment, before Yori pulled away and wrote down on the pad.
Thank you.
"You're welcome, Yori."
"Alright, stand up." Scarlett demanded, as the door slammed and locked behind her.
With a scoff the panther shifter stood up and glared at her. The male dressed down in the most horrendous woman's clothing he had ever seen, as he growled and the woman rolled her eyes.
"Oh relax, it's just a maid outfit." Scarlett frowned, as another f=growl was thrown her way. "You wanna see your reincarnated mate or not?"
Within an instant the room fell silent, as the woman gestured him to follow her. The door unlocking and opening, before she walked out and the male followed her. A dark blush falling over his cheeks the moment he noticed all the stares directed his way, as the woman in front of him kept walking as if nothing was wrong. The pair of them taking several turns and passing through crowded hallways, before she pulled open a door and gestured him inside. The shifter quickly walking inside and finding nothing but a couch, armchair, coffee table and a TV sitting in the room.
"I thought you said we were seeing my mate." The male growled, as the woman locked the door and the TV turned on.
A boy coming onto the screen that looked like the spitting image of his dead mate. He looked about fifteen, the same mop of blonde hair onto of his head and his once purple eyes now a deep blue. His eyes down casted to the floor and a long sleeve shirt and jeans covering his skinny form. Tears and rips in his jeans and a large bruise on his face, as he nursed his left shoulder.
"My name is Nir Valorez." The boy shakily spoke, as he squeezed his arm in what seemed to be habit and winced in pain. "I'm fifteen years old and was born on December 20th. My mother commited suicide when I was five and my father beats me because he thinks I'm the one that caused her death."
Almost instantly the shifter felt his blood run cold, as Scarlett leaned against the door and looked to the floor.
"My therapist thought it'd be best I record my thoughts and feelings to help me cope, but I don't think it'll work." Nir spoke, his eyes still glued to the floor. "Either way I'll humor her and talk anyway. My father beat me again last night. I didn't see him coming up behind me when I was making dinner and I forgot to hide his alcohol again."
"Turn it off." The shifter demanded, as the woman didn't budge a muscle.
"I was stupid enough to cook spaghetti that night and when he grabbed me I splashed hot water all over my arm. I might have a second-degree burn, but I can't go to the hospital. Father will find out and he'll get angry."
"Turn it off."
"It hurts really bad, but I have to keep quiet or he'll hurt me more. Plus it's hard to hide every bump and bruise when they pile up-"
"Turn it off!"
"Just wait." Scarlett spoke, before the door suddenly slammed open behind Nir and the shifter quickly turned to the screen.
A tall drunk male coming into the room and the teen quickly standing up to block the camera's view with his back, as his hand accidently knocked some books over and easily hid the camera.
"Father-"
"It's your fault she died." Came the man's slurred tone, as heavy footsteps came toward him.
Nir being grabbed by the collar and a well aimed punch striking across his face. No sound of pain leaving the boy, before he was suddenly thrown across the room. His head smashing against the wall and the drywall cracking under the force, before the man started beating up the boy. The whole thing lasting a few minutes, before the policed suddenly arrived and dragged the man off. It taking another few minutes before paramedics came around and the damaging results finally reached his ears.
"Young male, fifteen, brain trauma, pulse dropping, fractured skull broken arm, second degree burns and several broken ribs. Let's get him moved out of here and to the ambulance."
In a rush the humans put the boy on the stretcher and quickly wheeled him out of his room. The TV shutting off moments later and the male continuing to stare at the screen. Tears streaming down his face and the woman behind him silent, as he collapsed onto the couch and put his head in his hands. Harsh sobbing filling the room, as Scarlett stayed silent behind him till he calmed down enough to talk.
"Is he alive?" The demon shakily asked.
"Barely." Came the dreaded reply. "He's currently in intensive care and treading a fine line of life and death. He's in a coma right now and if he doesn't wake up within a week they're pulling his plug."
"When did this happen?"
"Half a year ago."
Silence filled the room, as the male wiped the tears from his face, only for more to replace them. His whole body shaking, as he mentally cursed and grinded his teeth together. Why hadn't he found out sooner? Why hadn't he gone to find Nir, instead of Satan's son? Why wasn't he there to protect him from this? Why?
"And up until now I haven't given you a proper punishment." The woman spoke, as she stood up properly and he looked back at her. "For the death of the female exorcist, the two attacks on Yori, and almost killing Rin, you are forbidden to go to Nir's side until an hour before they pull the plug. You are also going to be placed back in your cell and will not be released till the given time."
"You can't do that!" The shifter yelled, as the woman raised an eyebrow at him. "Nir needs me! He's going to die if I don't go to him!"
"I can and I will." She spoke, as she put her hand on her hip and over the gun with the tranquilizer darts in them. "You'll see Nir on Friday, an hour before his plug is pulled. Until then, enjoy your stay."
It was then that a gunshot filled the air and the male looked down at his hip. A tranquilizer dart sticking out of his hip, before he glanced at the woman and saw the apologetic look in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, youngling."
And everything went black.
"Nii-san, sorry I didn't see you sitting here." Yukio spoke the moment he noticed his twin sitting across from him and picking at his food. "Is something wrong?"
"Not that hungry." Rin muttered, as Yukio stared at him in surprise. "I've been feeling nauseous lately."
"Are you sick? Did you go to Drew?"
"Yeah, he sent me to Griffin." Rin spoke, as he picked at his mashed potatoes.
"Griffin? You mean the mating and preg-"
In the next second both brother's flinched and Rin's eyes fell to his lap. Yukio's eyes wide, as he glanced his brother over, almost instantly noticing his pale skin, and his practically full plate of food.
"Your pregnant." Yukio spoke aloud as Rin nodded. "Nii-san do you know how dangerous this is? If the Vatican find out they'll kill you."
"Don't you think I know that?" Rin spoke, as he stopped picking at his food all together. "And it's not like I'm gunna get an abortion, Yukio. Mom had us even though it was wrong and she died for it. I'm not going to kill the baby because the Vatican doesn't like it. It's me and Neko's offspring."
A moment of silence fell over them as Yukio sighed and reached across the table. The younger's hand clasping around his older brother's, as Rin looked up at him.
"Just promise you'll be careful, Nii-san."
"I will."
"There you are." A voice spoke, as the two turned to find Nekoyoma walking toward them. A smile on his face and he gave Rin a small kiss and sat beside him as Yukio let go of his brother's hand. "Was wondering where you went off to. You eating?"
"Not really hungry." Rin mumbled, as Neko gave him a small smile and wrapped an arm around him to rub his stomach.
A soft purr leaving the half-demon, as he leaned against his mate and curled up against him. A smile on Nekoyoma's face as Yukio watched them. A pang of jealousy coursing over him as he glanced down at his food, a single thought ringing through his head.
I wish me and Yori were like that.
Scarlett: *calmly sits in front of the camera with Akira watching her, before she sighs* Hello, my cute little fans. I know it's been awhile since I updated any of my fan fictions and today your going to find out why. Two days before my b-day, on my last day of classes I received a review that I never wished to receive and even if the reviewer didn't mean to anger me...I was angered beyond compare. So today I'm going to read the review and reply to it for all of you. This review was sent to me with no name and was sent as a guest review, so I have no problem reading it, here you go:
"Please update! I've been waiting for sooooo long! I've even gotten my friends to review but you NEVER update AT ALL! I mean what's up with that. It's been over a year and I've been waiting since I turned 17 and next month I'll be 18! Please update! We are all waiting you have not updated any of your fanfics since 2013! Hurry! Please."
*looks at the camera* Now I know I haven't updated anything in forever but I will point out the last time I updated this fic was back in September on the 23rd of 2013. Today is May 16th and I'd like to point out it hasn't been a year. As for the second comment I'd like to use a simple reply my guildmate's from Dragon Pals use "Real Life come first." and I'd like to tell all of you what has happened since September. *lets out a deep breath* In September my grandmother had a heart attack and at the time I was at school and beyond worried. I was away from home, with no way to support or help my family. At the time of the heart attack doctors put something in my grandmothers heart to fix it, don't ask me what it is i can't remember, but at the time she died on the table. The doctors were able to bring her back and she was fine after the surgery. By this time I was piled with work from school and was doing my best to deal with the stress of my grandmother and my studies. To focus I stopped updating so I could pass the semester. I worked over winter break and went back for the following semester which I just finished. It was in February, on my moms birthday, that my grandmother fell in her house and hit her head. I was home at the time and after my grandmother was rushed to the hospital because she couldn't use her left leg they found out her brain was bleeding. She was rushed to a different hospital via helicopter and was treated there. There are far more details over the matter and I could write a novel on it, but I missed an entire week of school for the incident because I was worried. As of the present my grandmother is in an elderly home, has dementia, stage five kidney failure, she can't move her left leg very well thanks to the blood clot that had once been on her brain because of her fall, and is diabetic. Ever since the beginning of this started I've done my best to keep myself together and focus on my school work with the stress of wondering if my grandmother was going to die before I got home. And because of this I haven't touched a fan fiction since a little while ago when I updated Beyond the Rabbit Hole.
*rubs a hand over her face* So I do have a good reason as to why I haven't updated anything for you all. My Real Life came first and stayed first. School got harder and I pushed myself almost beyond my breaking point to do my best and the last thing I needed was this review. I know it's been forever, but my dear 'Guest' you have to realize that everyone has a life, just like a I do and carp happens. So I'm not going to apologize to you for not updating for you and Im sorry but I don't care that your birthday is next month and ur turning 18. For one that give you no importance over any of my other fans and everyone has a birthday. Mine was on the 10th of this month (I turned 20) and I got to have what will probably my last birthday with my grandmother, which is a lot more important than updating this stupid fic. So I will apologize for my rudeness, as I hate being rude, but i will not apologize for not updating. My life comes first, not this fic. Welcome to life, enjoy ur chapter. *leaves the room*
Akira: *hesitantly swallows, looking at the camera* I'll apologize on her behalf, because I know she won't, but this year hasn't been easy on her. So please forgive her *bows* Enjoy the chapter *leaves the room to go check on her*
Reviews will not be answered for numerous reasons for this chapter. Thank you to everyone who threw ideas out and gave positive reviews. I've never missed a review from you all. I've read every single one of them. Thank you.
