37: Future Aristocrat
I don't own VK and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to NR13
After I get dressed I go downstairs into the lobby and see Kaminari,
"Kaminari!" I call out to her, I really want to tell her about my engagement to Takuma before I forget or tell someone else. She sees me and slowly comes over to me, she asks
"Akahanna can you come with me please?" I nod, I'm taken back by the way how she looks so I follow her. "Were do the Hunters have like a mini mart?" She looks at me with a shocked/sad expression which causes a wave of worry to hit me.
"Um this way." I show her and wait for her outside as she finishes buying whatever she needed.
"Kaminari what's going on?" I ask but she gives me that one face and answers
"I'll explain later. Just give me some time." We go to my room and into the bathroom. I sit on my counter while she closes the door behind her to use the toilet. I swing my legs while I wait. She exits, washes her hand so when she goes to use the hand towel I see what she bought. I gulp but don't say anything.
Kaminari's pacing back and forth while I stay quiet. After 5 minutes of silence she comes to check to see if the results came in. I look with her and she drops to the floor on her knees crying. I slide off and hug her.
"I know Kaminari, it's a hard pill to swallow at our age." I stroke her hair but she looks at me with her face all red
"But the fact is I'm pregnant." She cries again so I measure my words then ask
"Who's the dad Kaminari?" She swallows then sobs out
"Shiki." I stare at her because out of all people I didn't think it be him.
"But... He's with Rima! And when did it happen?" She calms herself down and starts
"It was last month when the Guard sent me out on a mission to find anyone if they knew where you were so I stayed at an inn and Shiki was there too. We drank too much and well I guess we had sex then! He told me that he wanted to tell Rima because well we all know she's like his un official girlfriend but I told him that we should wait; I don't want to hurt Rima that way, who does that to one of their friends?! Anyways earlier this week I started feeling really sick so here we are now!" She starts bawling again.
"You need to tell him Kaminari it's his right to know." She glances up at me and she looks like a scared animal
"But what if he doesn't want anything to do with me Akahanna?!"
"Well I'm not saying that's gonna happen but if it does then your child will understand that it was out of your power and it was Shiki's choice not yours."
"But I don't want to hurt Rima!"
"She's just going have to deal with it then. Of course you could always well... Abort the child if you think it's the right choice but I'm begging you not to do it."
"I won't. But-"
"Kaminari if you don't tell him I will." I threaten
"Don't! I'll tell him but in the meanwhile please don't tell anyone!"
"I won't," I hug her harder so after what feels like 10 minutes she finally calms down. She wipes her eyes with her sleeve and smiles at me.
"Thanks, so what were you going to tell me?" I shake my head,
"It can wait; I hate seeing you like this Kaminari." She nods so we stand up to leave when we're frozen in place.
"Do you smell that?" she asks, I nod.
"C'mon let's go." we hurry down to the lobby and I'm grinning while she frowns.
"Shiki! Rima! Aido! And Akatsuski is that you?!" I holler so they all turn around and I hug them. Akatsuski spins me in the air making me giggle. He sets me down so Aido wraps his arm around my shoulder lazily and says
"I thought Zero killed you but I'm so happy that he didn't." he smiles so I answer back sarcastically
"Oh gee thanks!" I push him playfully so I glance over to Shiki and he's staring at Kaminari with a blank face, she goes up to him and pulls him away from us. Kaminari sees me watching so she mouths
"Be right back." I nod so I keep Akatsuski's, Aido's, and Rima's attention on me. We catch up with what's been happening to each other when Rima smells me.
"I smell Ichijo all over you Akahanna... Is it possible?..." that catches Akatsuski's and Aido's attention so they sniffle me too and start
"Look at Ichijo! Getting himself lucky! Where is he?! I gotta congratulate him!" Aido jokes as his eyes scan the lobby trying to find any sign of him. Akatsuski smacks him upside the head and scowls
"Shut up Aido!" Aido groans as he rubs his head. Akatsuski rolls his eyes making me laugh.
"It's okay Wild." I tease with his stupid nickname he hates so much that his little fan girls gave him back at the Academy. He glares at me so I smirk then continue, "He's in the Library turning his books he checked out last night. This way." I lead them over to the Library then I follow his scent. We find him in a corner where he's reading another stack of books. His nostrils flare and scrunches as he smells everyone's other scents. He sets the books down and hugs everyone.
"Since when did you guys get here?!" he asks as he pulls back.
"Well we'll explain that later..." Akatsuski rubs the back of his head and I notice that they're not wearing their usual white uniforms. (I was expecting them to or anything but ugh never mind.)
"So Ichijo! I smelt that you got lucky huh?" Aido grins as he elbows him playfully. Takuma looks down at him and gives him a bit of a glare.
"Yeah so what? I'm getting married to her so-" they all stare at Takuma and I.
"YOU'RE WHAT?!" They all demand making me laugh, I hug Takuma's waist and answer.
"Yup, you heard him right." I look up at Takuma and he kisses me to prove it.
"I can't afford the ring now but, I will get one for her I promise." He promises making me laugh.
"You don't have to love."
"He has to." Rima enforces. We go out of the library to the courtyard so if Aido wants to scream/yell he can and we don't get scowled at. Kaminari and Shiki come back and join us. We're all laughing being idiots when we stop when we hear a commotion.
"What's going on?" Shiki asks as we all rise and breathe in the scent.
"They're back." Kaminari, Takuma, and I state in unison so we take off towards the direction of the scent making them to chase after us.
