Not an Angel

Chapter One. Angel on the way!

"Hey guys, guess what! Shin's got a girlfriend!", Ryo informs his friends.

"Aw man, he couldn't wait for me to get a girl first!", Shuu whines.

"Yea, but then you'd never come over to visit him!", Touma teases.

"Hey I wouldn't abandon my best bud over a girl!"

"You would if she can cook!"

"But Touma, Shuu would want BOTH of them to cook for him!", Seiji suggests.

"Of course!", Shuu retorts.

"So Ryo, who's Shin's girlfriend?", Seiji inquires.

"Yah, and why didn't he tell me?", Shuu demands.

"Settle down, I know for a fact that Shin's all told us about the girl he liked, Megumi.", Ryo informs.

"Ah, his classmate.", Touma notes.

"Oh, the girl with the glasses.", Seiji says a bit disappointed.

"So that's his girlfriend?", Shuu wonders.

"Yep. He finally asked her out today, so that's why he hasn't gotten a chance to tell everyone yet."

"This calls for a celebration! Let's throw Shin a party for finally asking a girl to go steady!", Shuu suggests energetically.

"With WHOSE money?", Touma inquires.

"Mine!"

"And just WHERE are you getting all of this money from, Shuu?", Seiji interrogates.

"I won the lottery again.", Shuu informs.

"WHAT?! AGAIN?!", the three exclaim.

"Why don't you rub some of that luck on me?", Ryo requests rubbing Shuu's gold headband for luck.

"Hey, I'm sharing my wealth with all of ya! Be content!"

"So, when are we going to throw this party?", Seiji wonders as Ryo slips out of the room.

"A party? Whose having a party?", Jun asks entering the room.

"Oi, Jun. When did you get here?", Touma asks giving the young adolescent a noogie.

"Hey hey! I just got here! I wanted to interview Ryo-nisan for a class assignment.", Jun informs.

"Shin just got him a girlfriend so I wanna throw a party for him with the money I won from the last lottery!"

"Yah, Shuu keeps winning the lottery and never gives us a chance to win!", Seiji informs.

"Can I come?", Jun begs.

"Of course, you and Nasute have to come too!", Shuu informs.

"Hey Shin, what are you doing tonight?", Ryo inquires on the phone.

"Oh, nothing much. Megumi was going to come over and we were just going to hang out at my place.", Shin informs.

"Good, then we all can come over and meet your new girlfriend!", Ryo exclaims.

Shin's eyes widen.

"All come over?! But…but…the place is a mess!", Shin frets.

"It's just going to be made into a mess after we get there. Don't worry about it."

"Oh my, that's a lot of cooking I have to do…."

"Don't worry about it, I'll make sure we bring our own food and something for you and Megumi.", Ryo suggests.

"But I simply can't have Megumi eating just any food!", Shin informs.

"Okay, just cook for the two of you, we'll handle ourselves. We'll see you at seven.", Ryo informs and hangs up before Shin can protest.

Ryo walks back in the room. "Oh hey Jun! Oh guys, I just talked to Shin and told him we'll all be by to meet his girlfriend at seven.

"You just went ahead and set it all up without us?", Touma scolds.

"You didn't even consider that we might have had other plans tonight.", Seiji reprimands.

"Hey, what could be more important that congradulating Shin on getting a girl?", Shuu demands to know.

"I'm sorry guys…I guess I wasn't thinking.", Ryo apologizes.

"Aw, don't be so hard on Ryo-nisan. He meant well.", Jun informs.

"Well, I'm actually free, so I don't mind too much.", Touma admits.

"Yah…same here actually.", Seiji confesses hanging his head.

"Then let's get to shopping!", Ryo and Shuu suggest simultaneously.

Several hours later, Ryo, Shuu, Seiji, Touma, Jun, and Nasute arrive at Shin's apartment. Jun is carrying party accessories such as those annoying noisemakers, Nasute is carrying congradulatory presents, Shuu is carrying four armloads of food, Seiji is carrying lots of wine, Touma is carrying some really nifty certificates that he created, and Ryo is carrying lots and lots and lots of 2-liter bottles of Pepsi.

"Hey, is your girlfriend here?!", Shuu demands after Shin opens the door.

"Oh, these are all of your friends that you said were coming over, Shin-tenshi?", Megumi inquires softly peering shyly from behind him.

"Hai!", Shin replies blushing.

"So, can we come in?", Seiji asks tapping his foot.

"Hai!", Shin replies and steps aside letting the wild herd inside his nice and clean apartment. ;_;

Shuu immediately sets the food down and grabs a bottle of wine from Seiji. Popping it open, he pours the contents on Shin's head. "Congrats bud!"

"Hey hey hey! You're embarrassing me!", Shin squeals.

"Good! Then your girl will know how crazy we really are!", Shuu retorts giving him a noogie.

Megumi blushes and sits down on the couch, letting the two boys have their moment. Nasute and Jun go and sit with her. Ryo opens a bottle of Pepsi and pours Jun a glass full. Seiji does likewise with the wine for Nasute.

"Doomo arigatou, Ryo-nisan!", Jun thanks.

"Doo itashimashite.", Ryo welcomes as he begins chugging down the rest of the 2-liter.

"Doomo, Seiji-san."

"Doo itashimashite, Nasute-chan.", Seiji welcomes with a very charming smile.

"So, you're Shin girlfriend? Megumi, right? I'm Nasute."

"Nice to meet you.", Megumi replies timidly.

"So how long have you and Shin known each other?", Jun wonders.

"Since grade school.", Megumi informs.

"You two sure knew each other for a long time.", Nasute comments.

"Yes. I've actually liked him ever since then. I've been kind of waiting for him to ask me out.", Megumi comments, her face a pale pink.

"How romantic.", Nasute sighs.

"Didn't I go to grade school with you, Nasute?", Seiji hits on Nasute only to get an evil glare.

Touma shakes his head and laughs at Seiji. He approaches him and gives him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Come on before you get neutered.", Touma recommends pulling Seiji away.

"Yah, I should just leave them be.", Seiji sighs.

"Hey SHUUUUUUUUU!", Ryo glomps Shuu then proceeds to glomp Shin.

"Yo Ryo!", Shuu replies.

"We brought over all this food and you haven't even touched it! Shin, get your first aid kit!", Ryo continues.

"Eh?!", Shuu exclaims in shock and rushes to the bags where the food was stored only to find it empty.

"It sure was good!", Ryo comments.

"Not as good as Shin's cooking, but still satisfying.", Touma adds teasing.

"You guys didn't REALLY eat all of the food, did you?!", Shuu stresses as Ryo starts chugging down another 2 liter of Pepsi.

"Hey Ryo, we got all of this wine, why aren't you drinking any of that?", Seiji questions.

"I like MAH PEPSI!", Ryo retorts.

"Sorry I asked.", Seiji shrugs.

"WHERE'S MAH FOOD!!!", Shuu whines on the brink of tears.

"Me and Ryo ate it, didn't we just tell you that?"

Shuu goes into hysterics. Ryo sighs and shakes his head. "No, we didn't eat it. Look behind the couch.", Ryo informs. Instinctively, Jun, Megumi, and Nasute look behind the couch and discover the missing food. Shuu rushes to it with much jubilee and begins pigging out.

At around midnight, everyone is crowded around the couch watching Inuyasha and playing the Inuyasha drinking game. Ryo, Nasute, and Jun are chugging down Pepsi while everyone else chugs down the wine.

"WOOT! GO KAGOME! GO GET HIM! YAH!", Ryo cheers standing up.

"Wow…I never thought Kagome would kiss Inuyasha.", Seiji comments in awe.

"Hey, was I suppose to sip or chug the last go around?", Shin wonders hiccupping.

"I love dog ears!", Megumi blurts out loudly scratching Shin's imaginary hanyou ears.

"Well, we better get going. It's already past Jun's bedtime and if we stay any later, Ryo will NEVER get up and do his chores!", Nasute informs.

"Chores…chores….KOWAI!", Ryo trembles.

"Aw, do we have to?", Jun whines.

"Yah, we probably should. We've been keeping Shin away from his love for long enough.", Touma informs.

"Oh well…I need my beauty rest anyways.", Seiji comments as Shin takes another chug.

The group starts piling out of Shin's apartment. Shin and Megumi are left alone on the couch. Megumi falls over ontop of him and scrambles up towards his face. Shin leans in for a deep kiss, sliding his hands down the back of her skirt. The others crowd in Nasute's jeep and head off. Shin and Megumi slip off of the couch and onto the floor.

"\/\/|-|007! MegaTokyo 0\/\/|\|z3rz /\/\4 50u|! Boo 1z (00, f00! Squ33k!", Ryo blurts out in l33t.

"Hey, Seiji, are you SURE Ryo wasn't drinking any wine?", Touma inquires looking over at Seiji.

"Yah, pretty sure.", Seiji replies.

"You didn't slip anything into Ryo's liters, did you Shuu?", Touma interrogates looking over at Shuu.

"No, I didn't slip anything into his drink."

"Well...at least he's not singing the end theme to Excel Saga.", Touma sighs in relief right as Ryo begins his 'wan wan.' (Note: 'wan' is the Japanese sound effect for a dog's bark, therefore implying Ryo is singing the song)

"Now you see why I don't like Ryo to have so much caffine.", Nasute scoldes.

Soft moans slowly float from Shin's apartment. Shin's shirt is strewn across the couch, Megumi's panties are flung atop the televison, Shin's jeans are sprawled at his ankles, Megumi's top rests under her head, her bra is wrapped partially around Shin's neck, and her skirt is flipped up covering her very thin belly. Shin is laying gently a top of her moaning softly while Megumi purrs with pleasure. It is all way too suggestive. Too perverse. (This is too much detail for me. Bah, unless this fanfic gets some reviews, this scene will be omitted. The Katana of Purity(tm) asks for blood...blood of the fanfic writer. Fanfic writer agrees.)

Nasute drops all of the former Troopers off except for Ryo and Touma. Touma helps escort a karaoke singing Ryo into the house. Nasute helps a tired Jun into the house.

Two weeks later the former Troopers, Nasute, and Jun are preparing for Shin's 19th birthday party. The presents are bought, the cake is made, and the decorations have been purchased. However, for his birthday, Shin will be receiving a rather unexpected surprise.

"Are you alright, angel-cake?", Shin inquires with concern as he stands outside the bathroom protectively. Stomach churning sounds ensue. After a few minutes of spewing, Megumi wipes her mouth and steps out of the bathroom.

"Oh my poor angel-love, your sick!", Shin comforts hugging her.

"I'm...I'm not sick.", Megumi informs.

"You sure? Did something upset your tummy?"

"Yes.", Megumi admits softly.

"Aw, my poor baby."

"Shin. There's...there's something...I need to tell you."

"What is it? Is something the matter?", Shin asks with worry.

"I'm...I'm pregnant.", Megumi confesses and takes out a positive pregnancy test out of her purse and hands it to him.

"Are...are...are you sure?"

"You know the doctor's appointment I had? Well...that confirmed it."

"Ee?! Honto desu ka?!", Ryo exclaims on the phone, utterly unable to believe that what he just heard was the actual truth.

"Yes...Megumi is pregnant.", Shin clarifies sadly.

"I didn't expect something like this from you Shin. I expected something like this to happen to Seiji. I just can't really belief it.", Ryo speaks, still stunned by the news.

"Well, I'm sorry...I wasn't planning on having sex with Megumi until we were married. It just happened. We were both thoroughly drunk and we came to in a very sexual postion, our clothes scattered all around my clean apartment!", Shin bemoans.

"Eh heh...that sucks. So what are you two going to do now? She's not going to have an abortion, is she?", Ryo inquires.

"I don't know, but it IS her decision. It's her body afterall.", Shin informs.

"Yah, but that baby isn't just hers. You both made it together, so you really should help decide what happens to it."

"I know, and I'd really think I'd be a good father, but we're still young too. I'd like to have the baby. I'll do my part if she keeps it.", Shin notes.

"Then why don't you tell her that? Remind her that you can't stop her from having an abortion, but if it was possibly, you'd have it yourself. It's your baby, your's and Megumi's. It's a living human being...I...I would be sad if she aborted it. It's like murder. Touma was telling me this morning when I was bouncing off the walls about all this technology that shows the baby smiling and blinking in the womb. No one can tell me that isn't alive. I remember that all cells are alive, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells, which means that we are alive before we are actually born. In fact, it is common in asian cultures to consider a newborn one years old."

"Ryo...you're still on the caffine, aren't you?", Shin comments blinking.

The following afternoon, Seiji, Touma, and Shuu gather around Ryo to find out what Shin and Megumi had decided about the fate of their unexpected baby. "So what's gonna happen to my nephew or niece?!", Shuu demands.

"Have they decided yet?", Touma inquires.

"Yes, they have.", Ryo informs.

"Well don't keep us in suspense.", Seiji comments.

"They're...they're going to...keep it!", Ryo smiles.

Thirty-four weeks later, Shin comes home from work and kisses his young wife, Megumi, and kisses her belly filled with angel-cakes. "How's my angel-love?", Shin coos.

"My water just broke.", Megumi grits her teeth as she contracts.

"Yikes! We better get you to the hospital!", Shin exclaims eyes wide open.

Shin and Megumi rush to his car. Shin gives a quick call to his friends to let them know to meet him at the hospital. Megumi starts praticing her Lamaze in the back seat. "Just BREATH!", Shin encourages.

Half-way to the hospital, Megumi positions herself across the back seat and spreads her legs open. "It's....COMING!", Megumi screams pushing.

"NANI?!", Shin exclaims in shock, stopping the car. Megumi pushes hard and screams loudly. Shin starts the car back up and pulls off to the side of the road before going back there to help her.

Megumi pushes as hard as she can, and one of the heads begins to crown. "It's coming! Keep pushing! You can do it angel!" Megumi pushes further and the little bald head emerges out. Shin helps pull the baby out the rest of the way.

"It's a...girl! It's a girl! My angel-baby, it's an angel-girl!", Shin exclaims proudly.

Of course, their troubles are far from over as Megumi begins to push out the second baby. "It's a boy!", Shin exclaims, not as enthusiastic as with the girl.

"I'm...ex...haus...ted.", Megumi sighs after giving birth to her second child, a boy with light blue hair like her own.

"You did good baby. I'm proud of you. I love you.", Shin comments holding the two bundles of joy and kisses his angel-love on the forehead and lets her rest before the ambulance arrives.
