I don't own Harry Potter or anything J.K. Rowling wrote about. I
just like to pick things apart and screw around a little. Ok! Let's get
this show on the road.
Chapter Five: Imperfection
Ron stared out the window as light flooded in. Rikai had not left his side since he had returned from the hospital. Ron was, as were the other two boys, slightly confused as to how the hospital knew he was pregnant. Rikai explained that in this dimension they could figure these things out fairly quickly through the advanced growth process. (A/N: I know that it takes like two weeks to tell but that wouldn't have helped my story out ok?) Ron had been angry then but since he got back he had slipped into a depressed state that made his two friends and the princess worry.
"Ame," Rikai whispered serenely. Ron looked over at her. He was sad and wanted to be left alone. "You can't keep living like this. You do realize that you are going to make yourself ill?" She asked. Ron shrugged and laid back into Rikai's lap, she gently ran her fingers through the young man's long hair. It had only been two days and already his back hurt. His tummy was growing but it wasn't nearly as big as it was supposed to become. Rikai noticed tears welling up in Ron's eyes as he tried not to let her see him cry.
"What's wrong with me?" He asked as he let the tears roll down his cheeks. He would only cry in front of the princess. Luckily, Harry and Draco were off with the other maidens practicing. Rikai had sent a very trustworthy guard with them.
"This is what happens when women become pregnant they get very emotional. It's completely normal."
"No, it's not. It would be normal if I were really a girl." He grumbled. Something suddenly occurred to him. "God, my brothers are never going to let me live this down. I can't go back there with a baby. What am I going to do?" Rikai leaned over and stared Ron in the eyes.
"Calm down now. There is something that we can do but it will cause many problems for everyone involved." Ron rubbed his eyes and sat up.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean there is a way for the baby to get transferred to another person's body. You see the baby in you right now is really just a soul. Your womb is preparing to grow the body but all that is present there right now is a soul." Rikai started. "There is a process to transfer the soul to another person but it is very risky. You could lose the soul in removal, the soul might not take the other body-"
"What would happen if the soul didn't take the other body?"
"The other being would be ripped apart from the inside." Rikai said slowly. Ron stared at her for a moment.
"Who are we going to find that would take such a risk?"
"It would have to be some one with a similar wave length. Don't worry about a thing though. I'm sure I can find someone to do it. Just rest ok?" Ron nodded and laid his curly haired head on her lap once again. He quickly fell asleep. At that moment Harry and Draco came in with all the rest of the girls. Draco's eyes drifted to Ron, though he and Ron were not friends, not even really acquaintances, his eyes were filled with concern. Harry voiced his fears.
"How is h- I mean- she?"
"She's fine Tsuchi." Rikai said as she ran a gentle hand through Ron's hair.
"Here's a question, why doesn't she-" Draco smirked at the announcement of Ron being a she, "why doesn't she just get an abortion." Rikai covered her mouth and tears came to her eyes. Draco looked at Harry and then to Rikai.
"What the hell is an abortion?" Draco asked plainly. Harry shook his head and looked to Rikai for help. Rikai suddenly looked very angry with Harry.
"Tsuchi! Abortion isn't the answer. This child is a living breathing being. Just because he hasn't been born yet doesn't mean you can get rid of him."
"How could you get rid of him?" Draco asked. Harry and Rikai ignored him.
"Normally, I would never suggest abortion but R- Ame isn't strong enough to have a child. Even if SHE was, by the time she was ready to have the baby we could be back to our own dimension. Though I suppose that a sea-section could always be an answer."
"Sea-section? What the in the name of hell are you two talking about?"
"Tsuchi, wouldn't the doctors wonder as to how Ame came to possess a womb?" Harry thought for a moment and then sighed. He nodded.
"Besides, 'Mione would be pissed." Harry stated.
"Who's 'Mione?"
"It's a girl that Ron sort of likes. She sort of likes him back." Harry said. Draco coughed; his face grew a slight red. Harry looked over at him. "What's going on?"
"Well, you speak the truth when you say that Ron likes her but you're way off on who she likes." Harry squinted hard at Draco.
"Draco! Ron's going to kick your ass!" Draco laughed.
"Like he could."
"What did your father say?"
"Do you honestly think he knows?" Draco asked incredulously. "I would be asking to die if I told him I liked Granger. He'd......... He'd disown me for one. He'd probably send all the deatheater friends he has after my girl."
"So she's your girl then?" Rikai asked hesitantly. Draco nodded.
"I love her, she loves me. That's all there is to it."
"So, Ron has no one on the other side then? No females that we all can trust?"
"He has a sister but what has she got to do with anything?" Draco asked. Rikai didn't say anything. She looked down at Ron and gently brushed the crimson curls from his face. Draco yawned and went off to his bed. Harry smiled at Rikai and she smiled back.
"Harry," she whispered as one of her older handmaids turned down the lights. It was the first time she had used his name. He scooted closer to the princess. "Tell me what Ron was like before he came here." Harry looked hard at Rikai. She looked down at Ron.
"His hair was much shorter. His cheekbones weren't as high and he didn't have breasts." Harry snickered softly. Rikai giggled silently. "He acted much more masculine except when it came to spiders. He hates spiders."
"Really?" Rikai asked. "I'm glad I didn't mention my tarantula to him." Harry laughed aloud. He blushed as he looked at Rikai.
"You like him huh?" Harry asked.
"He's one of my first real friends. As are you and Draco, Harry. I have never had someone like all of you to talk to. I could treat you like equals and you wouldn't think I was crazy. It's been nice these past couple of days."
"Your fiancé will be here tomorrow huh?" Rikai's eyes hardened as she thought of the man. "What's his name?"
"Alain." She mumbled. A thought entered her mind. She bit her lip at the idea but nodded solemnly to herself.
"What?"
"He wants me because I am perfect. Well, let me be imperfect." She said as she looked into Harry's eyes. Her deep blue eyes flashed and he knew she was going to do something stupid. "Get some sleep Tsuchi. We have a performance tomorrow."
"What are you going to do?"
"If I told you would try to stop me." She said as she pulled the blankets up over Ron and herself. Harry frowned at her. He opened his mouth but thought better than a comment and wandered off to his bed.
Early the next morning Harry and Draco stood in the clothes they had been given for the performance. They were light blue clothes barely clothed them. They had brought Ron in hopes that he would keep Rikai from doing anything too stupid.
It wasn't long before they noticed Rikai's fiancé. He was the tall very handsome young man who sat next to Rikai's father. Harry noted how he looked like one of those celebrities that people worshipped. He had long blond hair, which he kept pulled back in a ponytail and dark navy eyes. Ron looked at the man and Harry could tell that he was trying to access whether or not this 'Alain' person was better looking or not.
Harry heard the band start playing. The music was hyper and very fast. His pulse quickened with every passing second, he hoped that he wasn't the only one who was nervous. They looked out and saw Rikai out there in front of the audience twirling the flames around her body. It was scary how fast she moved and how close she pulled the flames to her. Both Harry and Draco heard Ron gasp when Rikai back flipped landing on perfectly. That was the sign. Harry and Draco ran out twirling their own flaming balls and chains. (A/N: God that sounds so wrong.)
Ron watched chewing the nails that he had just gotten done yesterday, Rikai insisted on finding something to get Ron relaxed. It hadn't worked. Harry saw her pull chain in sharply; she was purposely going to burn herself. Harry was in no position to stop her. He would never reach her in time. Neither would Draco, had he noticed, which he hadn't. Harry watched as the fire dragged across her legs. Harry was surprised when he saw her continue the routine as if nothing had happened. The routine went on as planned but when the music died away Rikai looked displeased.
"Darling! You were excellent!" Alain exalted as he stepped down from his seat next to the king. His arms reached out to Rikai she took a step back and continued to glare at him. "Darling, you have performed wonderfully. I am proud to call you my wife." His arms pulled her into him. He held her closely as if she were some precious metal that had to be protected and hidden.
"Let go of her!" Ron shouted. Harry, Draco, Rikai, and Alain looked at the gorgeous red head. Alain's eyes flashed as they washed over Ron. He studied the girl and laughed.
"You want to take her place?" He asked as he released Rikai. Ron continued to glare at him. "That would suit you just find wouldn't it..."
"Ame." Ron answered.
"Ame. You would love to be in the arms of a wealthy suitor such as myself wouldn't you?" He said suavely.
"No more than I would 'love' to be in the arms of Draco." Ron replied. Harry and Rikai stifled their giggles as Draco sneered at the confused Alain.
"I take it that to be like this Draco person is not a good thing." Draco shot everyone a dirty look. "It matters not, I would not take a sullied woman to bed. I am happy to know that Rikai is still perfect." Ron frowned at him. Harry stepped in front of Ron and held him back while Draco escorted Rikai out of the room. Harry convinced Ron to follow.
"Ron. You realize that he could have had you hung or had you beheaded?" Rikai asked as she and Ron sat in the bed. Ron was staring out the open window at the stars. Rikai was watching him
"Yeah." He answered. "I couldn't stand to see his arms around you." Rikai's bottom lip quivered slightly. She crawled over to Ron and made him look at her. She studied the eyes. She felt a blush cross her face. Her right hand slid to the feminine face's, gently caressing the soft flawless cheek. "I could see that you really hated him." Ron said trying to get Rikai to understand that he only did it because he could see Rikai wanted it.
"Ron........." She whispered as she leaned closer. He was trying not to want this. They both leaned closer; lips so close to one another. "I know who can take the baby from you."
"Who?" Ron asked. He didn't seem to truly care at the moment. His mind was solely focused on Rikai's beautiful lips and face. Rikai leaned over and gently kissed Ron. A thin white line grew from the place where their lips touched; this line was ignored by Ron. He continued to kiss the princess not knowing that she was testing herself, to see how compatible she was with him.
Bwahahahaha! I am evil and there is nothing you can do. Ok once again. I do know that it takes like two weeks but I decided that I needed them to know quicker. Sorry I should have said something about that earlier. Laughs nervously as she places hands behind neck I know that some of you are going to think me disgusting but oh well. I couldn't care. Too tired. Buh-bye!
