Secrets Revealed

Continued…

Holly smiled to Genki. "I'm a pregnant guys." She said proudly. Everyone's mouth fell open in shock as they stared at them both.

"You're pregnant?!" Pixie stuttered.

"Yes I am"

"Congratulations!" Aaka said with a smile, Armaoq nodded,

"Indeed you will make a fine mother."

"Thank you" she smiled.

"Chi?" Mocchi titled his head confused, picking him up she sat him on her lap. Genki smiled, watching.

"It means there's a little baby growing inside me. Right here" she touched her stomach.

"A baby chi? When will I get to see him chi?"" Mocchi asked excited.

"In roughly 8 months. He or she needs time to grow and get strong first." Genki stated.

"Chi!" a smile spread across the young monsters face as he hugged Holly.

"Holly will make a wonderful mother I agree." Pixie stated finally out of her shock. Tiger, Greywolf, Big Blue, Golem, and Hare all nodding in agreement.

"Thanks Guys I knew you'd be happy for us."

"I think Genki will be and excellent father." Hasuka commented, "He already has the instincts, I've seen it with Mocchi." Dianna nodded in agreement with him smiling for once. Everyone looked at Suezo who had been glaring vengefully at Genki.

"Suezo, we need to speak with you privately." Holly said firmly her face neutral.

"Me?"

"Yes you, into the kitchen now." Suezo got up and hoped into the kitchen after them.

Genki stopped next to Holly his eyes closed letting her confront him. "Suezo I know you don't approve of Genki being with me. I also know its partially due to your feelings towards me."

"I'm not jealous." He denied.

"I know your lying, I have seen the jealous for myself, you glare at Genki at the mention of our life together or just when we are holding hands."

"He just wanted sex, he's a lusting beast!" Holly looked over at Genki who still had his eyes closed.

"Suezo if that were true why would I want to be a father or her husband? I'm not using her, I love her and I'd do anything for her. Obviously, that's not true about you."

"What?! How dare you…"

"If you care for her so much then why are you hurting her? You're making this hard for both of us." Suezo was left speechless and looked down. Holly touched his cheek gently.

"I know you care Suezo, but please let go of me. We couldn't be together you know that. You will always be a brother to me."

"Always kin to us both." Genki added making Holly smile, Suezo looked into her eyes then at Genki.

"You protect her with your life, Genki."

"I will protect her with all I am, that I promise." Suezo hopped out of the kitchen going to his room to be alone.

Holly Looked at Genki her eyes showed some hurt in them.

"Genki, Maybe we shouldn't have…"

"Hol you know we had to do it, either now or later it would still have to be done. I know you don't want to see him hurt but there are some times when pain is unavoidable." He came over and put his arm around her shoulders rubbing her right arm with his hand. She still looked to the floor, until Genki's hand lifted her chin and his lips met hers her softly. Holly froze blushing when he pulled away his eyes were so gentle that she couldn't help but pull him back into a kiss of her own. Releasing him in a few minutes, a blush on both of their faces. "He will be fine love."

"Alright I just wish there had been another way."

"I know love but there wasn't." they walked back out of the kitchen with a smile on their faces.

"So what's the plan?" Genki looked to Greywolf.

"Well we search for Cinderbird and Shadow phoenix's stone. Then find Cinderbird, Windbird and the remaining phoenix. Until then we fight the bases we come across. After that we can go after the final 3 generals and Mu."

"Sounds like a plan to me." Dianna rose yawning and started back to her room. Genki and Holly went and sat in the billiards room having a small amount of wine with Armaoq and Aaka to celebrate the coming child. The soldiers played pool and cards while the monsters conversed having some wine as well.

Hasuka rose and walked to Dianna's room knocking on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Hasuka, can I come in?"

"Sure." He opened the door as he came in he saw her writing in a journal. Closing the door behind him he smiled to her. "So why are you here? You have more desires to be fulfilled by me Hasuka."

"No, I just enjoy being with you. Can't was talk for a bit?"

"Sure why not." She said in her usual tone. He came and sat in a seat near by as she put her journal away.

"Well I have been thinking when we were together that first night I felt something inside me I have never felt before."

"As did I, it was probably just from the strength of our lusts."

"I guess so…Say Dianna what do you want to do with your life?" she raised a brow at him.

"I want to settle down some day, have a family. Get a normal job and hopefully have some piece and quiet. I'm tired of wars. And you Hasuka?"

"I know what you mean I'm tired of wars as well. I want to be an engineer for buildings. Find a wife and settle down in the country, maybe have a ranch or something. I always wanted to have some horses and Harley. Have some kids at some point a raise them to be peaceful rather then to start wars."

"You like horses and motorcycles? You didn't seem the type."

"I love animals in general, I love riding, feeling free, and unrestrained like the wind. I went to college to learn to build things but I have never had the chance to do it. I love constructing and drafting, it's an art form and it takes much patience and determination to accomplish."

"You're very erudite you know that?"

"I'm not that learned Dianna, just a guy who wants to fulfill his dreams nothing more nothing less." She narrowed her eyes at him thinking.

"Why are you really here? Do you wish to bed me or feed from me?

"No, that's not it at all…I love you Dianna and I know you think me only here for lusts but my love is pure of heart. I just want to be with you that's all." She studied him finding no fiction in his words only truth.

"So, you want to be with me for me?"

"Yes, if you will allow me to be. I know I'm not like most guys but I will do my best to make you happy with what I possess."

"You are different then other guys, your gentle in ways most aren't though Genki was always gentle that way too. I really would prefer a guy like Armaoq though, I just like his style."

"So you like more secretive, strong and cool guys." He lowered his gaze to the floor rather hurt by her words.

"I do." She side before she noticed his facial expression. Despite her fathers training she felt bad about what she had just said. He rose slowly taking a deep breath he spoke once more.

"If that's how you feel then so be it. I had hoped I was good enough but if you would prefer another type of guy then that is your choice." His voice close to cracking he headed for the door.

"Wait Hasuka…" She said softly some emotion apparent in her voice, "I may have preferred that type but that's not the type of guy I have fallen for…" He turned to face her his eyes showing his hurt and confusion. "Please stay with me tonight Hasuka…I think I love you too…I can't say for sure cause I have never felt love before… but I want to learn." He looked speechless for a moment before he walked over to her hugging her tightly. She hugged him in return then pulled him into bed with her, kissing him deeply letting a little emotion show.

Genki and Holly walked into their room, closing the door Genki sat on the bed as Holly retrieved her bible Genki had given her. She brought it over and opened it to a page she had marked in Romans.

"Genki, I don't understand this." She pointed to a specific set of verses. Reading it over it only took him a moment to find a way to explain it.

"Well, basically what its saying is when you follow Christ you are no longer conforming to the worlds ways. You are dead to their condemning laws and morals but alive in the new life you have chosen in Christ. If you are dead to those laws and morals they can no longer hurt you, and you are no longer bound by those ways." Holly was silent thinking for a moment before pulling out the marker and returning to her book marked page in Hebrews. Although Genki said she could skip books she did not and insisted and reading the whole New Testament. He smiled and pulled out his own book to read, a novel from a series.

"Genki what's that?"

"It's a book series called Secret Texts but this book is named Vengeance of the Dragons, it's the second book in the series." She returned to her reading with a nod.

"Aaka, I missed you dearly" a smirked crept over her face as she came over to the bed.

"I'm sure you did love." She pushed him down on the bed; straddling him she kept him pinned as she teased him.

"Love you know I need you with me. We are one I can't bare to be without you." Her lips teased him now just barely touching his lips.

"I know; I feel the same way Armi." She kissed him, passion seeping from her lips to his. Taking his wrists she pinned them to the bed as they began to make out. Her tongue pressed his against his teeth cutting it slightly. She allowed him to do the same to her, enjoying each others blood as they kissed. Finally, she pulled back got up to change for bed when he stopped her. Looking into his eyes she knew what he wanted and nodded. Taking her garments off she climbed in bed with him after he did the same. Pinning him again she played her teasing game with him before allowing him to have what he wanted. Their powers inner mixed as they gave way to their passions.

Holly has finished her nightly reading a lay in bed next to Genki within the grip of his strong arms. He mumbled in his sleep again, she figured he was fighting in his dreams again. With a sigh she closed her eyes trying to get some rest. This night however, he spoke a little clearer then normal.

"No…. Its all my fault…If I weren't for my return…they wouldn't…." he was cut off by his bolting up right, his forehead and back drenched in sweat he panted trying to get a grip on his surroundings.

"Shh...Genki it's alright." She hugged him, looking around he lay back down cuddling with her.

"Sorry…" he whispered,

"No it's alright. Genki this is the fourth night in a row, please tell me what's going on."

"Holly I can't…I…" a tear fell onto the sheets, pulling him close she spoke softly in his ear.

"Shh…Genki I know you did something you regret…you talk in your sleep but please trust me Genki…" He held her tight; she could tell it hurt him just to think about whatever it was. Leaning close he whispered it to her, She looked at him in shock as he looked down at the sheets. Lifting his chin her lips came to his softly for a brief moment. "I won't tell anyone Genki but you need to tell them at some point on your own." He nodded and snuggled with her taking comfort in her presence.

Weeks passed as they continued to search for Cinderbird and Shadow Phoenix's stone. Genki had long since harmonized with Windbird's stone but didn't activate it since they were already looking for two things. Encountering a few bases and stray jets along the way, everyone could tell the soldiers were bored. Genki found a nice building to stay in for the time being. * I wonder if this journey of ours will ever be over. I so wish to be alone with Holly in peace. * He sat back in his chair as Hasuka nodded to him. Holly and Dianna came to them giving both a look, then sighing and nodding. The monsters and Soldiers alike noted the actions and knew that they were about to be told something important.

"At Holly's insistence I have something to share with you all. The idea for the beast soldier powers came from me. They used my DNA to create the powers, since I was the only human with powers because of the Phoenix." Hasuka then took over.

"And I was the one who came up with the idea for the beast soldiers. I used them in a video game that became very popular, but they later turned the game into reality after consulting with me about how I supposedly create the beasts for the game. However, I had not anticipated they're twisting my idea and giving lusts and powers to each beast soldier. Our point is that if it were not for us the beast soldiers would not exist."

"In a way I also helped open the gate way here. Had I not said anything they would have never known this world existed. It's my fault they are here and destroying things."

"I was working with them on the project to revive Mu so his revival is because of me. I was not aware before hand that he was so powerful or that he was an evil creature. But I knew the instant he awoke he was evil, they temporarily have control of him but no doubt the mind control collar will not work for very long." They all stared at them speechless, they couldn't believe that they were responsible for the terrible things happening now.

"What game did you make, Hasuka?" Holly asked.

"Bloody Roar, a game were beast soldiers fight each other. Each game had its own story line and goals. There was always a main bad guy in it that was hard to beat." Genki looked over at him.

"I've played that game, it was one of my favorites. I never thought it's become real though. And I hardly call Gado a bad guy."

"I never thought it'd become real either. Gado was the only one I had to lead the activists ok?" Genki shrugged.

"Looks like neither of you intended to create the beast soldiers or all the problems that exist now even though you both played a part in it." Dianna commented snapping the others out of their dazes'. They both nodded, Armaoq came in front of them.

"Whether on purpose or by accident the beast soldiers were destined to happen. I know you don't like it but destiny cannot be altered. These things would come to pass even with out Genki and Hasuka. What matters is what they are doing now to correct them."

"Why should we listen to you? We barely know you." Hare piped up. Genki came with the answer before Armaoq.

"Hare trust has nothing to do with knowledge of a person. When he and Aaka are ready they will tell us what we ask of them. Maybe they think we are the ones who are not ready to hear it. After all minor things do break us apart and break trust even if they are past problems." Armaoq smiled nodding.

"A very wise Christian Indeed." Both he and his wife left to make dinner. Dianna pulled Hasuka aside into a room.

"Hasuka I want you to stay with me at night like Genki stays with Holly." His eyes grew wide.

"But you don't even know if you love me or not."

"That doesn't matter…I'll never know if I don't stay around you."

"If you want me too I will, I know I love you but I just want you to be happy." She nodded and brushed his cheek with her hand. Then walked out to the room with him in tow sitting down for dinner.

Genki ate with fewer manners then usual until Holly kicked him under the table. Aaka chuckled and whispered,

"Way to train him Holly." Holly blushed a bit as she ate, though it went unnoticed by all but Hasuka and Armaoq, who were both eating with manners. After dinner Hasuka escorted Dianna to her room in a gentlemanly fashion. She dragged him inside with little resistance. He lay down with her silently, wrapping his arms around her. She lay back against him relaxing in his strong hold.

"Hasuka thank you for agreeing to stay with me."

"Your welcome" his voice soft, barely audible. Shifting she turned to face him, a smiled spread across his face as he looked into her eyes. "You really are a beautiful woman you know that?"

"Thank you." Came a whisper, slight emotion showing in it. He held her close, his arms gentle about her, and his mouth came to her ear to whisper.

"I'll do anything you want me to." Her voice came in a returning whisper.

"I only wish for your company for now Hasuka."

"Whatever you desire." She felt his body relax around her, her own relaxing in response. Closing her eyes she could feel a strong surge of emotion deep within her, but this only served to confuse her as she drifted off to sleep.

Holly lay next to Genki, her hand over her womb as she thought silently. * Genki has so many secrets, most are painful to him. I just hope this fight will be over before our child is born. * His hand came to rest on hers; he smiled his eyes showing his joy and pride.

"Genki, I'm glad you have such joy in our coming child."

"Why wouldn't I with such a lovely mother and wife to be?" she blushed in the darkness of their room, she felt his other hand stroke her cheek and gently pull her into a passion filled, soft kiss from his sweet lips. His lips lingered for a moment and she pulled him back into the kiss. When the kiss was broken they both were blushing and emotion surged through their veins. "I'll always be with you love." He pulled her close, "I know you will be a perfect mother."

"I don't know about perfect but I'll do my best." Laying her head on his chest she listened to his heart till it lulled her to sleep. He watched over her with pride in deep thought till his eyes grew too heavy to keep open.

Within the next two weeks they all fought till exhaustion took over. It seemed their enemy did not want them to get out of this battle unscaved and sent all available spare troops to attempt at destroying the advancing rebels. But they had only tested their own embarrassment as every soldier fell at the hands of an enervated rebel. Dianna and Genki located a small dry cave to conceal them in the southern mountains of Nituga. They all agreed they would stay at least 2 days so they could recuperate from their battles. Holly woke earlier the morning of the second day rushing out of the cavern she fell to her knees heaving up the previous nights dinner. Genki groggily came to her in concern, his arms wrapped around her from behind making her gasp. She felt the rush in her throat again but held it down.

"Holly just let it come, it's not good to hold it back. The morning sickness will pass soon I promise." She let it go as he said; he held her gentle while her body heaved. When her heaves stopped he pulled her close knowing perfectly well that she was upset. Taking her back to their chamber he cleaned her up and held her in his arms, rocking her gently.

"Genki why is this happening?"

"I can't answer that, all I know is it's a natural part of pregnancy. Guess your body's making sure you know its pregnant, it'll stop soon." She leaned against him exhausted; he kissed her forehead, gently rubbing her back.

"How do you know so much?" he smiled gentle down at her.

"In high school we have to take sex ed class, we talked about this sort of stuff in the class. And my mother taught me a lot too." Holly smiled weakly.

"I don't' know about school but your mother was a smart woman."

"Thank you Holly she'd be honored to hear that." She rested against him entirely now taking comfort in his strength and knowledge. * Who knew I'd be lucky enough to get such a caring and knowledgeable man all in one. Though his cute looks and great personality make him all the better and make me even luckier I guess… * she drifted off in his arms making him smile. Looking over he saw Greywolf and Tiger in the doorway nodding to him in approval; he returned the nod with a smile. Relaxing he would watch over her till she woke again.

Dianna had woken in Hasuka's strong protective arms, feeling content to just lay in them while he continued to snooze. * I wish I knew more about him…he's so secretive though. At times he has Genki's personality and at times he has Armaoq's. I really don't know much more about him but I do love having both personalities in one. I'm just not sure what to do now. * He stirred with a yawn.

"About time you woke up."

"Sorry..."

"It's alright you were exhausted last night."

"That I was…" he pulled her closer nipping at her neck lightly.

"You're a bit of a bad boy aren't you?" he grinned.

"I can be…I hope you like that."

"I do but I prefer a submissive bad boy." She smirked to him playfully; he raised a brow finding it interesting that she was showing some emotion.

"Then that's what I am" she shifted to meet his eyes.

"Your so easily agreeable… Hasuka I would like to know more about you."

"Ask me anything I will answer with the truth but it's to stay between us."

"Alright then this I what I want to know…"

The monsters were already up making breakfast by the time the soldiers, Genki, and Holly emerged from their chambers. All the monsters still seemed worn from the previous day, though the soldiers had recovered well. Genki noted how tired they seemed and rethought his strategy. Sitting down with Holly he glanced over to see Aaka and Armaoq walk in. Aaka was wearing a black stone he hadn't seen before, knowing the question she said,

"This is my stone, I finally found it. I'm betting Cinderbird has the last two stones." He nodded,

"May I see both your stones?" the couple looked at each other then took off their stones and handed them to him. He looked them both over, feeling each one trying to harmonize with them. Each stone in response glowed then dimmed, he handed them back. Once around their owners necks then glowed once more before returning to normal. Then nodded to him understanding the link he had made between them. Holly gave him a quizzical look; he just smiled and accepted his food from Mocchi. As he began to eat he sensed something. "Guys where did you get these mushrooms?"

"In the cave why?" Pixie answered

"Before you eat anything show me the mushrooms." Pixie lead him to them, one he could tell was a morel but there was another inner mixed. Taking it in his hand he sniffed at it, "did you mix these in?"

"Yes" he stood and walked back looking up the mushroom in his edible plants book.

"They look like button mushrooms but they aren't." Everyone looked at him. "How long did you cook them?"

"Close to 20 minutes, Aaka insisted we cook them separately and then add them in after the fact." He chuckled,

"Then go ahead and eat, great call Aaka. Do you normally deal with black bottom buttons?" she smirked.

"Like you I know how to de-poison a mushroom. Armaoq and I have lived off the land almost all our lives together rather then buying food." He nodded and sat down beginning to eat, the others looked a bit confused until Holly added,

"The poison was cooked out of the mushrooms. They are safe to eat now." They all nodded dumbly and began to eat.

When they were all done Armaoq and Aaka stood.

"It's time we tell you our secrets that you have wished to know. Ask us what you like we will not lie to you now." Armaoq stated coolly and bluntly. Hasuka was first to ask a question.

"What are you? I know you are you are a creature of myth. One feared and respected but I don't know which one." Aaka looked directly to him her silvery hazel eyes even in tone.

"We are as you say but each of us is a difference species." She paused a moment making sure they were paying attention, "I am a Vampire, though my morals are much different then most of my coven I can't change everything I do." Genki piped up before the others even had time to gasp.

"Then you have gone against your own and done what you feel in your heart?"

"Yes, I couldn't have married him if I hadn't. I also never kill unless I am facing an enemy."

"Then you live off animal blood?" he inquired once again, she smirked this time showing her fangs.

"Animal and his blood. He allows me though I have occasionally paid humans for theirs. I tend to stay away from humans, too many bad incidents." Genki felt Holly shiver next to him and gave her a reassuring squeeze, before looking at Hasuka who nodded and asked,

"Then you, Armaoq, you're a werewolf am I correct?"

"I am, but how did you know?"

"Genki and I both spoke on myths and legends. I think we both remember that werewolves and vampires are not permitted to marry." Genki nodded.

"Very well done both of you. Its true that we are not permitted to marry. However that is because the elders fear a blending of our species. And most vampires find us wolves, tactless and unsophisticated mangy animals." Aaka raised a brow,

"And most wolves consider us to be stuck up blood sucking leaches. So yes our species do hate each other."

"Then how are you together if your coven and pack don't allow it?" Dianna pitched in.

"I didn't give my pack a choice, as Alpha Male what I say goes whether they like it or not. All they can do by law is complain which I don't listen too anyway."

"And my father disowned me along with my exiling from the coven." She shrugged, Genki stood walking to them both.

They nodded knowing what he wanted; the three formed a circle touching each other's shoulders.

"Oh no, you don't your not leaving me out again." They moved allowing Holly into the circle, all four glowing with their Phoenix powers. After about five minutes they stopped all of them smiling.

"Its great to have you both with us" Genki smiled Holly grinning in agreement. The monsters and soldiers looked dumb founded all but Hasuka and Dianna as usual they already knew what was going on. Hasuka who stood off to the side with his arms crossed spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken Genki and Holly were testing them to make sure they could be trusted." His voice smooth and calm.

"That's correct Hasuka, we were." Genki nodded to him,

"Its time to find Cinderbird" Armaoq stated, Genki locking eyes with him a second.

"Lets get packed up, we need to get this done before anymore problem are created." Everyone nodded agreeing and silently went to pack up their minds set on their goal for once instead of each other.
