Chapter 14
The day passed quick after what happened. Kain didn't seem to talk much except to Saki, who was very keen to talk to him. When the next day did come, it was more dark then usual, and if anything, it wasn't really the nicest day to do anything. Kain helped Saki do her daily chores and Alice did one last training session with Kurando on blade skill's. Roger was preparing the Bacon Jet for flight. "There we go, just re-connect that wire to the chip panel and then I can retune the engine matrix…" Roger muttered to himself as he fiddled over in the ship's maintenance chamber. "Uh, Roger?" Roger lifted his head only to bang it on the lifted hood. "Ow!!!" "Roger!" Kain ran over to Roger and got on his knees to come to Roger's height. "You alright there boy?" "Yes, yes im fine. What do you want?" Roger grumbled as he scratched his head.
"Its about Alice, I don't think she can do all this on her own…" Kain stood back up. Roger looked up at Kain with a stern look. "What are you trying to say?" "Im not saying she's weak, but she needs us." Roger shook his head and went back to repairing the ship. "Why does she need us?" He asked as he dangled underneath the hood. "Well, at least someone other then her on her own. For Yuri's sake…" Roger came out from underneath the hood again to face Kain. "What? Alice means a lot to him, and I promised him I would protect her." Roger nodded at Kain's reply. "Ok. I'll take us all back to Wale's first and call on all of her and Yuri's old ally's. They have all heard the news, so im guessing they'll be willing to help…" Kain gave a smile and exited. "Thanks Roger…"
Alice came back from the Fountain where she trained with Kurando and sat herself gently on the sofa. Saki entered with a basket full of fresh fruit that she picked with Kain earlier. "Good morning Alice…" Aunt Saki placed the basket on the table and walked over to Alice. "Good morning aunt Saki, you been out picking." Alice directed her eyes at the basket of fruit, Saki nodded. "Yes, Kain helped me pick them fresh…" Alice gave a faint smile and sat back more into the sofa. "Is this our fate?" "What?" "Is this mine and Yuri's fate for the rest of are lives? It just seems all that bad stuff happens to the Hyuga's and everyone who's around them…" Saki stayed silent in shock for a second. "Are you saying that you hate being a Hyuga?" "No no no! Im proud to bear the name of a Hyuga it's just it seems all that bad stuff happens to us. All I ask for is a happy life." Alice said fighting back some tears.
"I know. Yuri wants to give you that life as well. He try's his hardest to make you smile." Aunt Saki sat beside Alice and placed her hand on Alice's shoulder. "I know. And that's one of the many reasons why I love him more than anything. And that's why I want to save him now…" Alice continued to fight back the tears. "Don't pressure yourself Alice; he's got faith in you…" Saki rapped an arm around Alice. Alice looked up at Saki and smiled, but it soon faded when Alice got a sharp pain. "Alice what's wrong?" "Saki, I think my water's just broke…" Saki quickly stood up. "Oh god. Um ok Alice just take deep breaths and hold it back, I'll go get the others" Saki quickly ran out of the door. Alice clenched her stomach and began to take deep breaths. "For the love of god please hurry up…" Alice thought to herself to try and concentrate on something else except the pain.
In the graveyard, Yuri and the masks were in silence. A light shone behind Yuri and he looked back to see a window to the physical world. It showed Alice. "Uh oh, it seems the girls gone into labour…" the grail mask muttered with a twirl. Yuri's eyes sharpened as he saw his wife taking deep breaths of agony. "Come on Alice, hold in there…" "Yuri?!" Yuri's eyes widened as he heard Alice's voice in his head. "Alice sweetheart is that you?!" "Yes Yuri its me. How are you talking to me?" "I don't know but I can see you. Now just keep in there and it'll be fine…" Yuri thought to his wife as he saw her expression change from painful to confused shock. He continued to watch as he was helpless to do anything. He then saw Kain, Kurando, Roger and Saki enter the room.
"Alright Alice keep breathing! The doctor of the village is off in the city so were going to have to do this are selves." Saki informed Alice. "Ok let's just get this over with!" Alice clenched the arms of the sofa and screamed the words out at the four infront of her. Kurando grabbed two chairs and propped Alice's legs onto them. Saki and Roger sat on either side of Alice and grabbed her hands, so she could squeeze them. That meaning Kain was left with the last job. He quickly sighed and took off his steel gauntlet and got between Alice's legs. He quickly pulled down her underwear. "Alright, on the count of three Alice I want you to push. And every time I want you to push harder and harder ok?" Alice nodded with a painful groan. "Ok. One, two, three!" Alice pushed at Kain's command.
She squeezed Saki's and Roger's hands tight, and some of Roger's fingers clicked. Kurando got behind Kain as an aid incase he needed it. Alice took three deep breaths. "Good Alice and again! One, two, three!" Alice pushed harder with a light groan and gripped Saki's and Roger's hands even more. "One, two, three!" Kain prompted again without waiting and Alice gave a great hard push. Kain looked quickly to see the very top of the baby's head. "I can see the baby! About three more pushes and it should do it!" Kain shouted up to Alice. Alice nodded and without waiting for Kain's command gave one big push. The head came fully out and Kain placed his hand underneath it to keep it stable. "Ok Alice when your ready!" Kain shouted to Alice once more. Alice gave one huge scream and a push and then there was silence, then cries could be heard.
Alice sank back into the sofa in relief that the pain was over. "It's a boy Alice!" Kain stood up with the baby in his hands, crying. He had rapped it in some of his clothing that he had ripped off himself. He passed the baby to Alice. Alice gently took the baby and rapped her arms around it gently. She smiled with joy as the baby began to quieten down and snuggle into his mother's arms. "Congratulations…" Kain gave Alice a smile. Alice smiled back and broke into tears. Saki also couldn't help but cry. "Were parents now Alice, this is the good thing about being together…" Alice heard Yuri talk to her in her head. "Yes. Yes it is…" Alice heard her husband chuckle with happiness before he continued. "So, what do you want to call him?" Alice stayed silent for a second. She looked at her colleagues around her and smiled at them all, and then finally her eyes met Kain's. She gave him a smile and he nodded. "I want to call him Kain…" "Kain? Sure, its great…" Alice smiled at her heart felt husbands reply. "Kain Albert Hyuga." Alice said out loud. "Is that what you want to call him dear?" Roger asked from her right. She looked at him and nodded. He smiled. "I still am a registered minister, so I can create the birth certificate…" Roger jumped of the sofa and exited.
"Alice…" Kain came to Alice's side. "You deserve to live on Kain, not just in memory. I thank you for looking after my love and now looking after me. And I know this might be giving you too many tasks but I would like you to look after our Kain as well." Kain nodded and looked at Saki and Kurando and gave them a smile. "Do you want to hold him?" Alice asked Kain. Kain looked back and smiled at Alice and gently took Kain out of her hands. "You should get some rest Alice, you've got a long journey ahead of you tomorrow…" Kurando walked over to Alice and helped her stand up. Saki helped. "Thank you…" Alice muttered as Kurando and Saki guided her to the bedroom. Kain watched her go he then looked down at the baby Kain and gave a smile. "Hi there little guy…" Kain placed his finger in baby Kain's hand, the baby gripped it.
Back in the graveyard, Yuri was a very happy man. He couldn't help but give some tears. He then looked back at the masks. "Well there you go assh*les, im a daddy now." All the masks laughed at once. "Yes, daddy to a forsaken!" The sword mask twirled. Yuri stopped smiling. "What is that supposed to mean freak?!" Yuri felt provoked. "Your son is the end! The fate of the earth, he has been feared by humans since time itself!" Yuri clenched his fists in rage. "You lie, your trying to provoke me!" The masks laughed again at once. "You say that now. But wait until he turns thirteen. His power will surpass yours and your wife's. Half dark, half light stronger then both! He is the demon of the damned!" The grail mask shouted in Yuri's face. "DEMON OF THE DAMNED!" The masks all shouted at once.
