-- Chapter 4— Everything revolves around a baby.
--
Yahiko held his chest, backing up from the face that was as innocent as grace, but caved horror beyond anything he had seen.
Stumbling to floor, he scuttled backward, the eyes of fire and hate staring back at him.
Yahiko had never seen eyes that blazed like that, never saw teeth that resembled serrated knives and he could certainly assure himself he never saw a baby like that.
For a moment, the entire room smelled like dead corpses and something very rancid. Choking at the intoxicating scent, he held his throat and began coughing. The child, who was protectively kept in the arms of the both little girls, giggled in glee.
The both girls, numb to the baby's evil ministrations, kept quiet, as if in a trance.
Yahiko scuttled to his feet, running out the room in horror. Nothing in all his life could have prepared him for that.
Running down the hall with his head still low in fright, he bounced up into someone. Yahiko fearing it could be the baby, or something of demon nature, began screaming, bawling and backing up with fright and horror. Falling to the ground, he screamed, covering himself with his hands protectively around him. In a ball, he sat on the floor, shivering, and weeping sadly to himself.
Standing above him was Sanosuke who was absolutely clueless at the boy's reaction. Scratching his head a bit, he stooped down to place a hand on Yahiko's shoulder. Yahiko made an outburst by screaming, leaning back as far away from Sano.
"Yahiko, Yahiko, hey man, its okay, its just me. See, its me Yahiko, its me, Sano. You remember that?" Sano asked, seeing that the young boy was in horror.
"S-Sano" Yahiko stuttered, his face turning a shade of white and his entire mighty ego crashed down into a frighten girl.
"Yahiko, what happened, what happened to you?" Sano asked, placing a hand on the boys shoulder.
"Bay-bay, i-it, was" he broke off into cries, "it was horrible, it was just horrible" he cried, covering himself.
Sano didn't trust the mood that was playing over them. Perhaps the dojo was under an attack and Ayami and Suzume they were, "Oh shit, they're still in the kitchen."
Fearing that Yahiko had seen the deaths of the young girls, Sano lifted Yahiko up carrying him to Kaoru's room. Megumi who was attending to the sicken girl, was amazed to see Yahiko be brought in.
"Fox, look, something is very wrong!" Sano said, resting Yahiko near her.
"What? What's happening?" usually Megumi was a calm woman but this situation looked dangerous and tentative.
"I don't know, but I think the dojo is under attack. Whatever you do don't open this door to anyone besides me, you understand me?" he asked giving her a stern stare.
"Hai." She whispered.
"Good, now lock this door." He said, heading out the room. Running down the hall with all the energy he had in him, he prayed to Kami that the two little girls were alright. Blasting open the kitchen door, he saw on the floor the two little girls playing with the baby in their arms. Sano looked around confused.
'What the hell?' he almost flinched.
Not sure what was going on, Sano decided to look around for anything peculiar. But regardless where he searched he found nothing. Nothing at all. It somewhat ticked him off. Was Yahiko making this up? Remembering the way the young boy had screamed and cried and even huddled himself made Sano decipher, the incident wasn't a hoax. Yahiko would never stoop this low in make pretend. It's almost like breaking your ego or something.
Feeling as if it wasn't safe to be where they were. He heard the cries of the baby. Of that irritating baby. Sano turned around, seeing that the two girls were now trying to soothe the baby.
Unfortunately the babe wasn't giving in, he was crying relentless. Sano watched the child for a moment, recalling what Kaoru had said about finding the child in bushes. Indeed which mother would leave her baby in bushes? The baby he saw before him, was a bit annoying, but nothing any mother should throw away.
Gathering the two girls, he picked up the crying infant, making them get a move on to Kaoru's room. The group quickly made pace, wasting no time what-so-ever.
Knocking on the shoji, Sano spoke, "fox, open up"
At first nothing could be heard, but then the shoji was slowly pulled back. Megumi peeped seeing that everyone was safe. Sighing in relief, she made the group enter the room. Locking the shoji, the group sat in a circle, in confusion.
"Sanosuke what's going on?" Megumi asked curiously.
--WEHHH—It cries…
"I have no idea fox! I seriously don't know what the shit is going on" Sano said. The child practically was screaming on the top of its lungs in Sano's ear.
"Oh gosh fox take the brat, man, a little bit again and my ear drum would be done for!" Sano rubbed his sensitive ear.
Megumi collected the small child, bouncing him up and down in her arms. Hushing the child using baby talk and a soft song, the little infant slowly subdued himself.
The baby placed a finger in his mouth, like a pacifier to comfort him. Megumi sighed over the infant's head wondering what was happening. First it was Kaoru and her usual pains, then it was Yahiko and his mad-man act and now its this, the entire group locked in a small room, listening to the next man cry.
The small girls huddled themselves next to Sano, afraid that their lives were in danger. For a while everyone remained quiet, staying where they were not asking any questions.
A couple minutes pass and Megumi could see that the both girls were already fast asleep next to Sano. Megumi smiled. Even the baby in her hand was asleep. Taking a seat next to Sano she carefully held the child.
"I'm impressed" she whispered.
"Impressed?" he asked.
"Yes impressed, that a big ole chicken can actually have a way with children. Should I give you a round of applause for your work?" she asked cruelly.
Sano smirked, "you know I happen to be a guy kids just like. I wonder if that ever crossed your mind"
She smirked herself, "I'm just kidding chicken-head" she whispered her eyes softening at the sight of the both girls near him, "you know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you'd make a, a great dad" she smiled
"Why thank you." He paused, "and you wouldn't make such a bad mom yourself" they giggled softly, over the children's head.
"M-Megumi" called a shallow voice.
The two turned to the woman in her bed.
"Kaoru, Kaoru-chan, are you okay?" Megumi scuttled to her feet.
"Where is the baby?" she asked, her voice very weak.
"He's right here Kaoru-chan. Kaoru-chan, tell me, what happened?" Megumi asked.
"I don't know" those weak eyes blinked.
"You must have known" Megumi said flatly.
"I don't" came her voice in a whisper, "all I can remember is being knocked down by this serious pinching pain within me. It hurt so much that I blacked out I guess" she said.
"Okay. How do you feel now?" Megumi asked feeling the woman's temperature.
"A little weak, but I'll be good as new in a couple of hours" she said.
"Okay, well get some rest. The baby is alright, he's with me. So sleep, everything will be taken care of" Megumi reassured.
"Hai" Kaoru whispered. Slowly her eyes closed and she was drove into a world of dreams.

"My Lord Battousai, news from the witches and demons, your son." The beast paused, "he is alive"
Battousai who was looking out the huge window that was decorated in black and red sacred writings, looked up in shock. Turning around at the soldier, his amber eyes went into a soft shade, "my son, he is, he's alive?" Battousai could hardly believe it.
"Yes my lord. He is alive" the beast that was a demon said.
"Very good work soldier. Where is he?" came the question that the demon swallowed to.
"That's just it my lord, we don't know" he said.
Battousai's eyes flashed something raw. His face stiffened as he stared back at the demon with raw eyes of hatred and violence.
"You say you know that my son is alive, but now you say you don't know where he is. Tell me Javx, sound I keep you and the other demons alive?" Battousai started gently first, sitting down on the chair of thorns.
"Milord" the beast, kneeled before his lord, "we are doing our best. Your son is especially hard to find since many of the demons and witches are being distracted by the portal." The demon said.
"So" Battousai thought, "they chose to eat the fresh humans that enter our world by the portal, but they don't have that enthusiasm to search for the future king of this realm. This, is an outrage!" Battousai shouted. His eyes blazed a shade of rich orange as it looked back at demon.
"I am tired Javx, I am tired of this entire realm, of this entire world. My orders will be affirmed now more than ever, else I will put all those who don't listen to their death. My first rule, shut the portal. Shut it, and be done of it. Secondly, send every single demon, witch, deity and living creature of this realm searching for my son" he ordered.
"But sir, what about the fresh innocents from the portal?" the demon dare to but his master's orders.
Battousai walked to him, "shut the freggin' thing. I will have no more of this disobedience to me and my requests. When I order this realm it obeys, no one will disobey me, no one and if they do, kill them. My rule will be established everywhere in this world, and no one can escape it. Do you understand me soldier? Until my son is found, then the search will be halted, until then, all will serve me and my requests" he roared, turning around, returning to the window he was looking out.
"Yes, my lord" the demon bowed.
"Oh and Javx" Battousai said.
"Yes my lord?"
"Check the mortals world. It was once said that my son was in that world. Search the realm. I will be expecting news from you soon and I expect its good news, else somebody's bloodline won't be looking so well" Battousai's eyes flashed that orange gold.
The demon exited the room, leaving his lord to be.
The door was blasted open to tall lord himself looking back at the red-head with hate in his eyes.
"You have nothing about you, don't you asshole?" Came that baritone voice.
Battousai sighed. The one person he could not kill, now stood in front of him.
"What do you want Yukishiro?" Battousai asked devoid.
"You dead of course, that could be a start, but before you just go killing yourself in the sun, do you mine giving me an explanation for my bloody sister's death and her barely born child? As Lord of your race and my race, you have done nothing but cause pain on the Nuestraka (1 type of Demon race). It's reached everyone ears that our lady is dead and everyone now narrows it down to who did it" The demon roared.
"Oh?" Battousai wondered.
"You did it! Everyone now thinks you killed your wife because she was the only one who would gladly bring your baby into the world. But she didn't bring the child on time now did she? So you killed her. And you unknowingly, in the so doings, killed your son. Bastard" Enishi scowled at the man.
"Shut up Yukishiro" Battousai roared, turning around, his eyes a shade of red.
"You know nothing of how it hurts me to see her not here at my side ruling with me. You know nothing of our relationship, the mate she was to me. You and your kind know nothing of us. You barely knew your own sister and the love she had for me." He screamed.
"Bullshit!" Enishi snarled.
"Do you know why your sister loved me? Do you truly know why she loved me? It was because she was different, because she saw that I could be tamed and I was tamed. I confess Enishi as angry as you are, I am as well. I would never kill your sister, my wife. I would never do such an act. She has caused me to live and be what I was meant to be, King. Our son, he would be the heir to the thrown, but it seems luck isn't on my side." Battousai sighed.
"Your words are lies and your face is a decoy of the truths. You're a liar Battousai, that you are! I don't want to hear anything about you loving my sister or your son for that matter. You never cared for her, your main purpose was to use her and become ruler of my race and your race. You achieved that, what next?" Enishi paused with anger on his face, his eyes of glowing blue biting.
"I tell you Battousai, your nonsense has been heard by our people and we're planning a revolt against you. You're not going to be king any longer, and if you don't find the child which you so call your son in the next two months, we will evict you from the post of King and further more, ruler of these two realms. I hope you heard me Battousai-boy, because as bad as you feel you are, you aren't as bad as the ways of our rules. You have two months, starting from today" Enishi stormed.
Battousai stood there, internally beaten.
He was losing everything, from his wife and son to this, his position as king. With the rate he was going, death would be his punishment. He was pushing his demons and threatening the races extinct. Sooner or later his own kind would join Enishi's revolt, and nudge him out of the post as King. Battousai sadden in the room.
Looking out the window, he felt his emotions twirl angrily within. Lost was so strong, just as it was to lose the only person he ever wanted. His mate.
Screaming out under a violent grey and black sky, his eyes glowed with a shade of powerful white. Anger like the white fury inside the heart, was bursting free. Battousai could not maintain his cool when everything was against him.
His cards in the game he was playing, were failing and soon he'd realize every Joker loses in the dungeons.
The demon realm shook with his scream.
Battousai was losing, but who would defend on his side!
Nobody…
Falling to his knees, the stranger outside his door laughed. Blue eyes that were as serpentine as ever, glowed in evilness as he walked down the halls hearing his brother-in-law, cry to the nothingness.
Enishi smirked, feeling that right now he had the upper-hand, which he did of course.
'Soon Battousai, the pieces to my game will come to life where you don't exist. And I, I shall be crowned King of everything in this realm. Hahahah…'
