Sidestory 1.

"BIRTH day"

I was wonder: Why I hardly fit in here now? Is too tight! Several months ago there was plenty of space here and now :yawn: I hardly fit in here or move freely.

Here did my space go::pout:

Worst: now that I can move my limbs, the only thing I want to do is stir a little, but I have no space! Life is unfair!. But at least I can do things, like tickle my ma, kick her (she doesn't like that :giggles:) and move a little: check this out::rollover: See? I can do rollovers… well, now that my head is stuck between these bones I can't do my rollovers as often as I wish to… Look, I have a tail, mama said that my papa has a tail! I'm just like him!. Check this out::touch nose with toe: You can't do that! Try it and you'll break your hips! And Try To Do This!…

KICK.

Oops… sorry ma…

(Hmpf…)

I better stay quiet, I think that mama is sleeping, and I hate when people wakes me from my nap, so, she has to hate it too… :rollover: I don't like a lot of things, like when my mama made her own rollovers… tough she can't rollover now, papa says because she's 'as big as a house' :tickles, giggles: Again that tickles! I wonder from where they come from, I have been feeling them since mama went to sleep… I think is midnight, mama and papa always slept at night, but I'm most active during night… I can move more freely, and me thinks that my mama is more relaxed… :tickles, giggles: Nice tickles! I wonder why :sudden squeeze:… Damn! Just what I need it!

(HMPF!)

"Hmpf… stay quiet, little one::BIG yawn:: Its midnight, go to sleep."

Sorry, I didn't know. And it wasn't me this time, promise!… let see… well, she's back to sleep. What was I doing? Oh Yes, check this out…

Three hours later.

I'm bored, bored, bored :rollover: Al least this place is cozy and I feel good. I could stay here forever, is so nice :rollover: but I have to do something with the space, after that squeeze, this womb shrunk even more. :rollover, yawn: I'm sleepy, I think I'll take a nap :sudden squeeze: HEY! Don't squeeze!

"ARGH::pant: Damn!. Baby! What are you doing down there!"

Oh uh… I woke mama! Feh! I didn't do anything, she was the one who squeezed me. It wasn't my fault, I swear… Er… What is that buzzing? …

"Oh My!… Sesshomaru… wake up!."

Err… There's a strange noise down here, and it isn't your stomach, I tell you!

(Damn, baby, I know! What a timing you have!)

Why do you say that? I'm not doing anything!

":grunt:"

"Wake Up!."

"… :grunt: What?."

"Er…"

Hey, Mama! What are you doing out there? This womb is moving weirdly!

"… go back to sleep…"

"Err… I just… had a … Err… I think I had a contraction."

"Good for you. :yawn: go back to sleep."

A what? What is a 'contraction'? You didn't have any 'contraction', you squeezed me! Twice!

"…"

"…"

"Sess-chan!"

"… What did you said?."

"Er… I… Had a…"

"Shut Up! Stay Calm, Nothing is Happening, Everything is Ok, Just Sit Here and wait, just stay calm!."

"I'm calm."

What's going on outside? Sorry, I didn't meant to kick mama, really! She's the one who is squeezing me!

(Stay Calm, You're in good hands!)

Mama, why papa is… so frantic?

(… :panicked twitch:… I'm going to give birth, I'm going to give birth…)

You're going To Deliver Me? Now? Why? How do you know? How I'm going to get out? I'm too big!… Nah! You're kidding, I'm not going to get born!.

Right? Eh?… EH?.

Damn! Just when I was getting comfortable. I don't like the changes in my routine, I play at night!… I don't want to get out of here! I'm going to feel sick like I felt back then!

Actually, I feel tickles. :giggles: I like tickles, those feel nice, but the squeezes. Ouw. Everybody seems frantic… Who cares? I feel like stirring a little.

KICK.

"Ouch! Hmpf!… Isn't the Time, Baby!."

Sorry…

What a timing, pup! You just decided to born in the middle of the night! Where is my robe, Where did this Sesshomaru put his bloody robe? Here is it! Wait a minute, I need light, now, and I need some answers! Sit down and control yourself ::deep breath:: I turn around to see Mikami, she's sitting in her side of the futon, with one hand on her oversized belly and touching the mattress nervously.

"Ouch! Hmpf! Isn't the Time, Baby!."

"WHAT?."

"Your son kicked Me!… Don't worry, I know how kicks felt like."

"Are You Sure? I mean, Sure, sure, SURE?."

"About?"

"The contraction and the kick thingy!."

"Of Course I'm :contraction: AAAAHH!."

(AAAAAHH! THAT'S NOT FAIR! Papa! She's squeezing me on purpose!)

I rub my face with my hands, this is serious… I think we need some help… from who, I don't know… ::mental slap:: The bathroom, no, bad idea, I have to take her somewhere, but not the bathroom, I need to take her to… my studio.

(What are you thinking!)

Not the studio, I need that old hag and… I need to do something…

"Are you all right?."

"What kind of question is that?."

"Who cares? Are you all right?."

"… I think… ::burst into tears:: Damn it! I'm scare!." No! Please, don't cry, Mikami, please!. She turns her head in my direction and reaches for me. I took her hand. "Take me to another room, I don't wanna make a mess here…"

(Mess? What's she talking about, what possible mess?)

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's not a problem, don't worry…?"

"DO IT!."

"As my lady wishes. Just hold a minute."

I stand up, I fix my robe and put a blanket on Mikami's shoulders. I walk out of the room. The castle is in silence, but… I know how to wake everybody.

I lay down, for the time being I don't feel anything, but I don't know why I have the feeling that this is only the beginning.

(Cut that off! I'm not going anywhere!… I think…)

Deep breaths, take deep breaths, Mikami, remember what Tsubasa-baba told you, deep breaths… and enjoy the moment. Soon I'll have my baby in my arms and my days of normal sleeping will be over. :contraction:

(That's it, another squeeze and I'll kick your kidneys!)

AAAHH! Hurts!… Mmmm, Tsubasa-baba never mentioned that the pain will be this intense!… Steps… I hear steps.

"Still with me?."

":growl: Shut Up!."

"Good. A room is set, I sent for Tsubasa-baba, she'll be here soon…"

He lifts me up tenderly and carries me out of our bedroom, making that sound in his throat that always had relaxed me. Hmm. It seems that he woke the whole manor up. Honestly, I couldn't careless.

:contraction: Err… I'm all wet…

"Why Are you wet, Mikami?."

(CURSES! Something is licking down here!)

"What is it?."

"I… broke my :sob: water…"

Fours hours later.

Mama! Are you there? With each squeeze I hear you less and less, what's going on? This place is making a lot of noises and :big squeeze: that's getting on my nerves! Stop it, I want to sleep, I haven't sleep in a while!.

"Deep breaths, doggy style, as I taught you, milady!."

"::Furious pant, pant:: Easier Said than DONE! You Old Bag!."

Mama seems upset and tire. Wonder why… Papa? Where are you, I'm loosing contact with you too… I don't want to loose contact with anyone, this place sucks! It's squeezing me the hell out of me…

And I didn't took my NAAAAAAAAAAAP!

:SUDDEN SQUEEZE: Papa! Why mama is squeezing me, I don't get it! I don't like the squeezes, is she kicking me out of here? is she mad because of the kicks I gave her? I didn't meant those!

(I… know… stay… calm. I'm waiting outside…)

Of course you're outside! Outside? Where? Are you far?.

(Outside the room, not far… The ladies kicked me out and I'm pacing here like an idiot…)

One can pace as one wishes :big squeeze: DAMN!

(Language, pup!)

I don't care, now I can't move at all and my poor tiny limbs are being crushed. I'M GOING TO DIE!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!."

"Push, milady! Push!."

"ARE YOU BLIND? I'M PUSHING YOU STINKY OLD HAG!."

(That's it. This Sesshomaru is coming in.)

What? Mama! Why are you pushing me out, I don't want to get out :squeeze, push: NO! Argh, this place is tight, too tight for my head, I'm going to get stuck here forever!… :blink, blink: The top of my head feels COLD! My ears, my ears! Watch out for my ears! I'M STUCK IN HERE! HELP ME!… Must. Come. Through. Now. :squeeze, push: I don't fit here! I'm not going to get through!

Mama?… Papa?… I can't hear you guys::sob:

"He's right, You can do it milady… I see the head!."

"AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH! THIS IS YOUR FAULT, Sesshomaru!… Just Kill Me and finish this torture::push:."

"Don't worry my lord, that's a standard quote."

Wow, my head got through!… :sob: the rest of my body is still trapped, It's cold out here, I don't want to :squeeze, push: OWOWOWOW! Easy!… I think I don't like this place :sob:.

"One more push, milady, and you'll see your baby!."

"You can do it… C'mon, I know you can! Seems painful, but…"

"Shut Up, Sesshomaru!."

:squeeze, push: Freedom. What in seven hells? I feel weak… Too weak, but I have some space. Where I'm am::cough: this place feels hard, it's cold, there is something in my throat::open eyes: IT'S TOO BRIGHT! Help me, help me! I can't breath, I'm getting suffocation!.

"… Amazing… it's a puppy…" That seems my papa's voice…

"It's a puppy-boy! Milady, you had a puppy boy!." Says a near voice. "And say goodbye to your sleeping nights!." Huh? Why?

"::pant in happiness::."

Must. Breath. Whatever that means!.

SLAP, SLAP

":growl: HEY!."

"BUAAAAAAAWAWAWAWAWWAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAWAWA!"

I DIDN'T DESERVE THAT SLAP! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!… Mama? Why I can't hear you? HEY! I'm being lifted! And what's that texture, I'm being rubbed and dried! Let Me Go! Why everything looks so bright, I feel my nose cold and BAAWAW! What did they cut? My belly hurts! Who is lifting me? Who is… I DON'T KNOW THIS BLOODY HEARTBEAT! I DON'T LIKE THIS HEARTBEAT! I Don't Know This Voice! Let me go, Let ME Go! I Don't Know You! Get Your Hands Off Me!.

Hey! I'm breathing!

:sob: The air is so cold, my poor nose, the cold air is hurting my nose! I feel strange!

"BUAAAAAAAWAWAWAWAWWAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAWAWA!"

"Meet your baby, Milady… careful… easy… help her, milord, it's your puppy too :sob:."

"… Look at him… he's… perfect…" Papa! Why I hear you out of my head?.

"And has a temper!."

"It's a boy::pant: Give him here!." That's mama's voice!

"Easy, milady, you're weak, and…!."

"Shut up, old hag, and give me MY baby!."

Limbs, there're limbs everywhere, clumsy limbs, I'm too weak, I'm defenseless! MAMA! Where are you? Tell this person to let me… I know this heartbeat, it's my mama's!… But why I can't hear her… mama?. I like this heartbeat… is this you? You're holding me::sniffle: I'm so scare, mama, what's happening?… That hand… is that you papa?… I think that that is your heartbeat…

"So, you were the one doing those rollovers inside me?."

"… If only you could see him… is perfect… feel those ears…"

Yes! I know those voices! Is my mama and my papa!. Mama? What are you doing? She's touching my face, my limbs, Why?… be careful! That's my eye!… Papa? You're the one caressing my back::sob: I'm so cold… and my tail is so wet… why my tail is wet? What's 'wet'? Good thing that mama is hugging me, I like her scent, and my papa's too.. :stomachs grunts: Tummy is grunting… I don't like it!

"My baby… He… has dog-ears. I'm holding… my… :sob: This is beyond beautiful!."

"White hair, his eyes are going to be blue, no stripes, but he has a fluffy (wet) tail and… one of his ears is black… the other is white. You should feed him, milady."

"But not here." We're moving, I think papa is lifting us at a time. We're moving? Why? Where? Please, don't change things on me again?. "This place stinks and…"

"Excuse me, milord… milady, you must feed him, here, let me explain you…"

Yeah, yeah, talk as much as you wish, doesn't concerns me. My little tummy is grunting, I don't like grunts, because they're annoying… I think I'm hungry… how do I solve this, my belly isn't filling like it used to, how do I get my food? How do I control my arms? I'm hungry! Mama has to feed me, she always fed me… Oh My! That Person Cut My Cord! How I'm Suppose To Eat…? There must to be something…? Hey! Let Go Off My head! Mama, tell this person to let go of…

Mmmhh!… Mmm… this feels nice… food question solved, I'm eating… mmm… mmm… mmm! Mama is feeding me… Mmm… this tastes much better than the other food… mmm… mmm… mmm, yummy!… I can taste this food!… mmm… mmm…

"There you go. You must feed him every three hours, but shortly… you'll have to each him some habits from now…"

"Can we go now? This Sesshomaru can't stand this place!." Mmm… papa seems upset… mmm. "I want to take them to our bedroom!"

"I think that's enough. Here, give him here."

"Get out of here! Forget it! After those slaps, I'm not going to lend you my baby!."

"As you wish, milady. But stop…"

"Grrrrr!."

I want to growl like papa when I grow up!. Maybe I can growl too…

"… g-g-g ::baby whine::"

Err… I think I need practice. Everybody is giggling… Why?

"Nice puppy you produced!."

Wanna sleep, I don't want to keep eating… can I take my nap now, I missed my nap last night and I'm sleepy… :yawn: we're walking… don't care, as long as my mama and papa holds me, it's ok. Eh? We stop and papa left mama… somewhere?. She shifts me.

"How are you going to name him?." Asks papa.

":yawn: I'm going to need help with this little person…"

"That's an awful name!."

"…"

"I'm joking… how you are going to name him?."

"I don't know :yawn:… what about… Mmm… Aoshi?."

"Aoshi will do then. Heard that pup? Your name is Aoshi."

Good, I have a name. Why should I need a name? Hmpf, I'm too little and I have a world to discover. My name is Aoshi… Fine!… now, I'll have my long lost nap :yawn:

…!

My Name Will Be Aoshi?

The End.
