Yes, it's time for unlucky chapter number 13 of 'moon and destiny'. Who knows what shall happen? Will Shippou die? Will Shippou live? Will Kikyo and Sesshoumaru EVER stopscrewing each other?Who knows? I'm not truly sure if Shippoushould die or not now. Oh, relax, I know what's going to happen…before you do! (evil laughter) Ahem. On with the accursed fic of black cats and broken mirrors!

Act 13:

"Sango, you should go home," Kagome said.

"No, Kagome, I can't," Sango sniffled. They were all in the waiting room, "I can't just leave him here. You saw how sick Shippou is right now. I can't abandon him like this,"

"She's right, Sango," Miroku sighed, "We should all go home. We're just getting in the way here. We need to let Shippou stay in the doctor's hands for now. We need to go home and…think about our situation,"

Sango looked down, "Alright…I guess I'm no good here; crying like this,"

The door to the waiting room opened and Tsuki entered with Akumashugi. Tsuki quietly approached her parents, Akumashugi by her side.

"Mom…Dad…" Tsuki said, barely above a whisper, "…Akumashugi has an…idea…"

"Tsuki's mother and father," Akumashugi said, as sweetly as possible, "forgive me about our…current situation…that we have. I know that things like this are difficult for parents as great as yourselves to…deal with. Therefore, I have a proposition for you," Kagome and Inu-Yasha listened in on what this young man had to say. "I want to take your daughter Tsuki's hand in marriage,"

"Let you marry my daughter?" Inu-Yasha snarled. He picked up Akumashugi, "You're the one that got her into this mess with your goddamn hormones!" His eyes then turned to dangerous slits. "I have half a mind to rip you from apart using my claws!"

"Dad, no!" Tsuki yelled.

"Inu-Yasha, stop!" Kagome yelled. She grabbed Inu-Yasha's free claw, "I know you're angry about this entire situation but that's no reason to kill him! He's just a kid!"

"Fuck that!" Inu-Yasha growled, "This 'kid' you're talking about his full blooded demon! I can smell it on him! He probably devoured the flesh of the mortal boy he looks like!"

Akumashugi snorted and then teleported out of Inu-Yasha's grip and into the corner of the room. He glared at Inu-Yasha, "You know, Dad, I was thinking about trying to handle this in a more civilized manner. Not all of demons are blood thirst like you," Akumashugi then sighed. "All I want to do is try to make the best of this terrible situation. I want to marry your daughter so that your grandchild won't be born out of wedlock,"

"I would rather drop dead than have some scum like you in my family!" Inu-Yasha growled.

"Dad! Akumashugi! Stop!" Tsuki said. Tsuki said let out a cry of pain as she held onto her stomach.

"Tsuki…?" Shukuen asked.

Tsuki groaned and the room started to spin. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she saw Shukuen yell for her, but Tsuki didn't hear. Tsuki collapsed onto the ground and her vision was soon clouded by darkness.

Sesshoumaru twitched. Kikyo sat up and looked at him. The sun was setting outside in the window. Rin was sleeping in another room on her own little bed.

"What's wrong?" Kikyo whispered.

"I just felt something…strange…" Sesshoumaru said, "…as if some sleeping power just began to slowly get ready to rise from a deep slumber," He looked at Kikyo. " The Jewel of Four Angels is going to come into this world soon,"

"I thought we had more time…" Kikyo began.

"It appears we don't," Sesshoumaru sighed. He got out of bed and began to put his clothes back on, "We need to leave for the other world…tonight hopefully,"

"Tonight?" Kikyo said, "Isn't that too early?"

"The Jewel of Four Angels could come into this world any day now," Sesshoumaru answered, "We need to leave and tell the others. We cannot save our worlds alone,"

"What of Rin?" Kikyo asked, "She's so small. She can't possibly make the journey,"

Sesshoumaru paused, "…Rin is older now. She can take care of herself. She knows of the dangers of the world around her. She'll come with us,"

Kikyo sighed. She got out of bed and began to put her clothes back on, "Then it is down the well we go,"

Kagome had ran into the hallways and grabbed the nearest doctor; telling then about Tsuki and her current situation. Tsuki was immediately taken down into another wing of the hospital. Inu-Yasha, Miroku, Sango, Kagome, Reichou, Shukuen, and Akumashugi waited outside of Tsuki's room in the hallway. They only had to wait a few minuets before a nurse came out.

"Is my little girl okay?" Kagome asked.

"She's fine, Ms. Higurashi," the nurse answered. She then smiled sadly, "But I'm afraid your 'little girl' is going to be a mother. It seems that the fetus is developing very fast. At this rate, she might be ready to give birth within a week. This is the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen! It's as if she's a superhuman!"

"Can you tell at this moment what gender the baby is going to be?" Akumashugi asked.

"Not right now," the nurse said, "maybe in a few days we'll find out, but it looks it might be a girl,"

Akumashugi nodded, but he didn't look all too happy. Inu-Yasha went up to the nurse, "Can we go see her now?"

The nurse smiled, "Of course! She's perfectly healthy, but she seems to be a little stressed, so try to keep her nice and calm,"

Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Akumashugi, Sango, and Miroku went inside of the hospital room. Shukuen didn't want to see his sister on a hospital bed like Shippou and Reichou didn't ever want to go back into a hospital room ever again after seeing Shippou. He just wanted to go home…he just wanted to go home and pretend that Shippou was still okay and that he wasn't dying…he just wanted to go home and pretend that Shippou wasn't hooked up to some machine or coughing but blood…he just wanted…

"Reichou…?" Shukuen asked.

Reichou felt tears slip down his cheeks. He looked at Shukuen, who was filled with concern. Reichou then bitterly wiped away the tears, "I'm fine,"

Shukuen sighed and he put his hand on Reichou's shoulder, "Reichou, if you want to talk…"

"Shukuen," Reichou sighed, "you know how my Dad…feels. I don't need another one of these," Reichou gestured towards his black eye.

"Reichou," Shukuen said, "you can't just keep running from him. He lives with you. You can't let him just hit you and stuff. You should…tell someone,"

"Tell who?" Reichou snapped, "My Mom agrees wit –"

"Reichou," Shukuen said.

"– my Dad says and she doesn't have the–"

"Reichou," Shukuen said.

"–guts to tell him to piss off! I'm better–"

"Reichou,"

"–off just keeping it to mys–"

Shukuen put a finger to Reichou's lips. He then looked up at Reichou. Shukuen then whispered, "Reichou, I know you can stand up to your father, because you have the type of strength that I don't have and that I wish I had. I know you won't let him get away with this. Anyways," Shukuen put his lips on Reichou's. "that black eye doesn't fit you,"

Reichou savored the taste of Shukuen's lips and began to feel his arms slowly start to wrap around Shukuen's waist. "Shu…kuen…" Reichou gasped as they kissed, "…my Dad could come out and see us any…minuet now…"

"Let him see," Shukuen answered as he stroked Reichou's neck.

"But what about…your boyfriend?" Reichou gasped as he began to French kiss Shukuen.

"We broke up," Shukuen answered as he began to French kiss him back.

Reichou began to kiss Shukuen's neck, "Aren't you a…little…upset?"

Shukuen let out a little gasp of surprise as Reichou kissed him. He ran his finger through Reichou's hair, "Fuck him," Reichou continued kissing and Shukuen held onto him. "I…I love you, Reichou…"

Reichou smiled as he kissed Shukuen, "…I love…"

The last part of that statement hung in Reichou's throat, because at the moment Reichou saw Miroku and Inu-Yasha standing in the doorway of Tsuki's room; staring at their sons.
