Time To Watch T.V. and Talk

It had been four days since Yoko had seen Nakada but she still helped him whenever he needed it and was there for him when the babies had there growth spurts, but never really see hear or talk to her. Yoko hated the babies more then ever with every passing day as he felt them move around inside him, kicking him or sometimes punching him. Right now he was watching T.V., which he remembered how to use thanks to Nakada, when they had that little tour. Yoko suddenly smelled lilacs and he turned to the entrance of the living room to see Nakada with a book in her hands heading to the kitchen. As he looked her over he noticed that she seemed to have taken a bath, since her hair was wet and was the source of the lilac smell. But he sensed a change in her, but he didn't know how. She seemed a little more proud, knowledgeable and graceful as she walked towards the kitchen, no doubt to make supper.

He sighed not really in the mood for anything since his stomach started doing summersaults at the very thought of food. Just before she went through the kitchen door he called, "Why don't you come into the living-room instead of going into the kitchen?" Nakada stopped in her tracks when she heard the voice of the person she had been trying to avoid. She turned around and saw Yoko with smirk and a gleam in his eyes that reminded her why she was avoiding him.

She closed the book and starred at him, "I was thinking of fixing us both something to eat." She said trying to find a reason to get away from him.

He closed his eyes his left arm on the top of the couch, his right hand holding the remote and a grin kind of smile on his lips as he shook his head. He returned back to watching T.V., "Well you can make something for your self then. The mention of food makes me feel sick right at the moment." Nakada stared at him then down at the ground as she nodded and began to walk into the kitchen but not before Yoko had said, "I would like it if you would join me in watching some T.V. when you're done with everything in there."

She turned around, staring at him, but said nothing as she just nodded and turned to leave for the kitchen where she fixed herself a small supper. Not in the mood for that much food either as she read the book she was holding and waited for her supper to finish cooking. When she was done eating and washing the dishes and her teeth, she had taken the tooth brush and tooth paste out of her bag, she looked at the door in front of her knowing she would have to go and join Yoko on the couch. What did I ever see in him? She thought she was walked out the door. Ever since the day he found out that…there were two babies inside him, I get this feeling of dread and my body is constantly alert. I would normally be happy that he is being nice to me but…there is just something not right about the way he is acting. Nakada sighed. Might as well get it over with.

Yoko saw her come out of the kitchen and smirked when he saw her walk over to him and sat on the other side of the couch. He continued to smirk at her antics she made towards him, to try and fight him. He saw at least the bright side to his…situation, "I see you took a bath." She didn't look at him at all but she nodded showing she was listening. He scooted over to her so that his arm could reach her hair, "I would like take one as well."

She looked at him and nodded as she stood up and he did as well after he had turned off the T.V. He followed her up to their bedroom and to the bathroom. Nakada started running the hot water into the large tub and Yoko watched as she explained some of the soaps and conditioners he was to use, but she was rather blunt about it. When she was done she left him to his bath, but not before he told her to stay in the bedroom and wait for him in there.

Nakada waited inside the bedroom reading the book she had in her hands and also keeping an eye on the closed door that led to the bathroom. She had left him some boxers, pale jeans, white socks and a white sweatshirt. When Yoko came out of the bathroom he was wearing that and she knew it as she continued to read. He walked up to the bed and got onto it, laying right beside her and watched her read her book. He looked at the words but was somewhat discouraged when he couldn't read it.

"What are you reading?" He asked staring at her waiting for her answer.

She didn't look up from her reading, "A book," was all she said.

"What kind of book?"

She sighed, "A book to teach me things I will have to know soon."

"Like?"

She closed her book, after putting a bookmark in it, and set it on the bedside table. She looked at him with a not so happy look, "Do you want talk about something in particular?"

He looked at her and smirked, "I was just trying to start a friendly conversation with you." He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, "But honestly I don't mind talking like this much."

Nakada instantly stiffened as he held her, "Yoko…your heart," he instantly let go of her.

"I'm sorry," he said looking at her, "I thought it had begun to get better. I'm not angry at you for any reason…or at anything else for that matter," he turned her head to him. He looked into her eyes and smirked, "Are you lying to me?" He took her hand, "There is only one way to find out," he pressed it to his heart and Nakada winced as she tried to pull away.

"Yoko, please," Nakada said as she began to get weaker as he kept her hand firmly placed over his heart.

"Only if you promise you will stay by my side all through out our stay here, unless I give you permission to leave," he said.

She looked up at him, her head on the pillow to weak to hold it up anymore, "I…promise," she whispered out and he let go of her hand. He smirked at her as he began to go to the door so he could leave the room. He was stopped when he heard Nakada cry a little and he turned around to see her back towards him. Her hand was over her mouth as she spoke, "You never really did care about me." Yoko stared at her with his eyes wide and she continued, "At the hot springs, while we kissed…that was all just a lie. You played me like a fool and…I…fell for it."

Yoko instantly ran over to her and tried to take her hand to comfort her, but when he reached for her hand, his hand went through hers. He looked at her and saw she was transparent, "Nakada…what's happening to you?" he asked his voice etched with concern.

She looked at him but her eyes were dark and cold towards him, "Don't act like you are concerned about me Yoko. I can just make myself go through things or people," she said this as if it was no big deal.

He looked at her and deep down, his heart hurt a little as he sat on the bed beside her, "But…I am concerned about you. I…"

"Just shut up," Nakada whispered not looking at him, "I don't want to be fed anymore lies." Nakada stood up and walked to the door, "If you're hungry you can follow me to the kitchen or I could stay here."

The fox just stared at her then at the ground, "A little something to eat wouldn't hurt. No guarantee I'll be able to hold it down though," he said with a smile. But as he looked at her, he saw she wasn't smiling or anything as she became solid and turned the handle of the door. He sighed and followed her down stairs, she always looked back to make sure he wasn't too far behind.

Nakada made some beacon and eggs and Yoko slowly ate them as she returned to her book. Yoko would look at her from time to time, knowing that he had went over the limit when he had pressed her hand over his heart. But why was is it his heart was starting to get worse again? He made a small sound of surprise as he felt one of the babies kick him once again. He then knew why. These things are making me evil again so she won't want to be around me! She will love these things despite what they are doing to me. She loves these things and will hate me if I don't gain control! If I kill them then there is no hope of her ever loving me. But if I don't… Yoko silently began to eat his food with a little but more force in thrusting his fork into his food then was necessary.

Nakada noticed that Yoko was practically using his fork like a dagger against his innocent food. She mentally sighed, wondering if Yoko was ever going to let up on this. Why do I care if he keeps on acting like this? He doesn't really care about me. He was just playing me like a fool…he never really cared about me. Nakada sat up and Yoko looked at her, "I have to go."

"Go where?" he asked as he watched her leave the kitchen.

She turned around and looked at him, "You know, go, as in use the bathroom."

"Oh!" he exclaimed a little surprised. But before he could say anything else Nakada was out of the kitchen heading towards the bathroom.

Nakada sat on the side of the tub as she looked at the white marble floor. She let her mind drift to thoughts and memories about what had happened. Until she stumbled onto a memory that made her even more sure that Yoko was only using her.

Flashback

Yoko looked at Nakada as she slept soundly in her furs with a smile on her face. He laid on his side, elbow on the bed and his head on his hand. How can I get her to trust me? And why is it I feel like she is going to leave again only this time willingly? Have I been to late to gain her trust? Wait a minute why do even care if I gain her trust? Yoko laid his back on the bed and looked at the ceiling his hands over his face and then laid them at his side. She is making me go soft. I have got to stop letting her get to me.

With that Yoko went to sleep and Nakada opened her eyes. Nakada was a telepathic so she had heard all of Yoko's thoughts and she looked at the ground. I guess the team and I should get together and make plans on what to do. She went outside and talked to the team about what Reado had talked to her about, but only the plans, not about Yoko raping women.

The next morning Nakada woke up and saw Yoko had again carried her to his bed. She stirred trying to get away from him but he held her tighter, "I don't think we need to go anywhere for a while," he whispered into her ear.

Nakada's eyes widened and she also noticed she wasn't wearing her sunglasses, "Yoko, if you don't want to break the trust I have given you, then let me go."

Yoko opened his eyes and laid his cheek on her head, "But you are so warm and this is so comfortable…just a few more minutes?"

Nakada closed her eyes, "Yoko…please. I want to be able to trust you, but what you are doing is breaking it."

He just held her closer and sighed, "Do you know how many vixens would love to be in your place right now?" he asked using the phrase he used with all the other girls he had rapped or try to get into his bed.

"Then why don't you go to bed with them instead?" she asked getting angry.

"I don't see any vixens around here Nakada…I just see you."

End Flashback

A tear fell from Nakada's eyes as she remembered that and knew that at that time he had been playing with her. She remembered something else that might prove that he was only playing with her.

Flashback

"Your not Yoko are you?"

The fake Yoko stopped and looked at her with a grin, "Very perspective of you my dear," and he began to change into a tiger demon with long, orange, waist length hair, deep blue eyes and a pair of tiger ears sprouting from his head. She looked behind him and saw a tiger stripped tail coming out of his tailbone. His skin was pale and was lined with stripes, "My name is Reado the shape changer, I can take the shape of anything or anyone," he looked at Nakada and grinned, "I have just saved you from Yoko Kurama."

"What do you mean saved?" she asked not sure what he was talking about and not wanting to know.

"Yoko would have used you as a toy for mating season. He always rapes ningen females and if they survive his heat through out the season, he gets Kuronue to kill the female humans he makes 'love' to," The cat demon went over to Nakada and took out some lock picks and unlocked her shackles and her collar.

Nakada stared at him, "He really does that? How am I supposed to believe you? I just met you," she was a bit tired from being woken up so early but her mind was beginning to work properly.

"In my village, far from here, there are tons of female women like you that have been rapped by him. After that demon rapped those women, had told Kuronue to kill them. Kuronue would instead secretly take them down to my village to be safe. They will tell you I speak the truth, but we have to hurry before the camp wakes up," and he took her hand but she wouldn't move.

End Flashback

But she had thought he had gotten better…especially since he had met the beggin. Nakada looked up at the ceiling and began to wonder. Just what was his deepest desire? She felt a chill run up her spine and went to try and find Yoko. She eventually found him in the music room on the small balcony. She saw he had killed one of the monsters that populated this world.

With Yoko before he left the kitchen

When Yoko had finished up his food and put the dishes in the sink he had decided to walk around the place and his feet led him to the music room. He closed the door behind him and turned around to see a guitar on a stand beside a stool. He went over to it and picked up the instrument and sat down on the stool. His fingers seemed to have known how to tune the guitar as they did that on their one will. When he was done he moved his fingers over the strings making the guitar play and the music moved all throughout the room as he softly sang a song that he never heard of but seemed familiar to him. (I made this song so you can criticize it because it isn't that good.)

What is this pain I feel?

Will it ever stop?

It started just about when you left

Can you tell me why

I always see myself cry myself to sleep at night

Darling I need you by me

Darling I need you by me

Darling I need you by me so I can make it through the night

We had some bad times

And we had good times

We had some horrible times

And we had some wonderful times

There was a time when time didn't seem to matter

When you were by my side

Now I find myself looking at the clock

Wondering when you'll be home again

What is this pain I feel?

Will it ever stop?

It started just about when you left

Can you tell me why

I always see myself cry myself to sleep at night

Darling I need you by me

Darling I need you by me

Darling I need you by me so I can make it through the night

Darling I need you by my side…so that I can make through the night

'Guitar music'

Can't you see these tears I cry?

They are all for you

Showing you I need you by me

Showing you I need you with me

Showing you that…I love…you

'Guitar Music'

Now I know what this pain I feel is

Now I know it will never stop

I know why it happened when you left

You don't have to tell me why

I always see myself cry myself to sleep at night

Darling I need you by me

Darling I need you by me

Darling I need you by me so I can make it through the night

And now I know why

It is because I love…you

Yoko's fingers moved over the stings one last time and he placed his hand over them and then bowed his head as his breathing became slightly faster. He felt the babies move around inside of him, and for the first time he smiled as he placed his hand on his stomach. He looked up and saw that there was a balcony outside and walked over to it after he had put the guitar back onto the stand. The balcony was small but he didn't mind as he folded his arms on the railing and leaned on it. He looked all around and saw forests and open grasslands. He also saw that the mansion was positioned near the sea. He heard something above him and he saw that there was some kind of scaly blue bird with four wings and it's skull showing. Yoko backed up a bit as he brushed his hand through his hair and took out his rose, turned it into his rose whip and attacked the bird. It was sliced and died instantly as it fell to the ground. Yoko looked around in the sky and couldn't find any more dangers.

"This whole world is filled with monsters," Yoko turned around and saw Nakada standing there leaning against the frame of the door with her arms crossed. She walked over to the fenced part of the balcony and looked around, "It is both beautiful and dangerous at the same time."

Yoko looked at her and then looked at the ground to see many creatures at the bottom of the place, "Nakada I…"

"Don't," she interrupted him. He looked at her but she kept her eyes to the ground, "I don't trust you anymore Yoko. I did trust you before, believe it or not and I had actually thought I was in love with you. But now I don't and I know I wasn't in love…I was just being tricked. I also won't believe another word that comes out of your mouth. Come on, I'll do the dishes and you can get to bed. I promise when I'm done with the dishes, I'll go back up to the bedroom."

Yoko watched her leave and went to the bedroom and laid down on the bed. He pulled the covers over him as he laid down on his side thinking over what Nakada had said.

Flashback

"Don't," she interrupted him. He looked at her but she kept her eyes to the ground, "I don't trust you anymore Yoko. I did trust you before, believe it or not and I had actually thought I was in love with you. But now I don't and I know I wasn't in love…I was just being tricked. I also won't believe another word that comes out of your mouth."

End Flashback

Yoko lowered his eyes and wrapped his arms around his stomach as he felt the babies kicking him again. If I didn't know better, I'd say these kids are angry with me for some reason. He smiled a little at this but then he began to think about Nakada. If she doesn't want to trust me or believe me then…I'll do the same. I'll just stick with what I know right now, and when these kids come out, I won't care about her or them at all. But…did she really fall in love with me? Did I mess everything up? Yoko heard the door open and looked behind him to see Nakada as she lay down on the couch.

He sat up, "Listen," she looked at him, "Since you already know that I don't want anything to do with them then I'm going to make sure I don't. I'll give you your own tent that way, you can take care of them and I won't accidentally look at them or hear them complain. I have no doubt you can make sure that happens."

She just looked at him and nodded, "I can also do that to the other tents if you want. The only thing you would hear inside the tent is if someone knocked on a wooden block outside the tent beside tent flap. No sound would go in or come out of the tent unless there was a fight happening inside."

Yoko shook his head, "That is fine."

Before he went back to sleep he heard Nakada say, "Thirteen days left before they comes out."

Yoko sat back up because he was already lying down, "Thirteen days? That long?"

She looked up at him and nodded, "Yes"

Yoko looked at her as she laid down and he did as well, thinking about what she had just said. But before either of them could get some sleep the babies began to grow again so they had to do the usual routine. When the babies had stopped growing Yoko held Nakada close, not letting her go.

"Just stay with me tonight, I won't do any harm to you. I don't have to hold you but, please, just stay in my bed tonight."

She looked up at him and sighed as she moved away from him and raised her hand to her ear and laid down on it closing her eyes. He smiled and moved so he was behind her laid close to her. I'll ignore her when we leave.
