Hey everyone, just a few more notes to a few more people. Anyway, I hope y'all are all enjoying the story and spread it around to all your friends. I think you're going to enjoy this. It's now starting to get really interesting. :)

tigerfantasy17: I've heard about what happens, or what is "revealed" about Akito but in my story "he" is a "male". LOL. Anyway, I'm a huge fan of dialouge but I'll try and put in some more description when it's needed. I hope you're still enjoying the story.

Reader: I can't answer the Kyoru question officially, I'm just going to say out there to all of the Kyoru fans, including me too, that I think you'll going to enjoy the story. In my summary it says that Kyo and Tohru will be together but not in marriage, but I think you'll enjoy the ending. Well, anyway, the summary is just a hint, so keep up the reading and you can let me know after the last chappie what you think of the ending and whether you liked it or not.

Chapter 9

"Kazuma, Rubette's going to have a baby," came the voice of a man with short, black hair.

"Who's the father?" Kazuma asked, though his tone told the man that he knew the answer.

"Don't play dumb, you know it's me!" the man shouted.

"I told you not to mess around with her," Kazuma said.

"I know, I know, I couldn't help it if I loved both of them, could I?" the man asked. Kazuma didn't answer, just stared at him in silence. "What do I do?"

"Don't ask me, I'm all out of advice, plus, I really don't think you'd listen to me, I gave you advice to try to prevent this mess and see where you are?" Kazuma said, nodding toward the limp figure in front of him.

Kazuma stared out the window as he thought back to the events years ago. It would hurt Kyo; it would hurt him badly to learn of what had happened long ago, but with the sorrow would come joy. Akito had wanted to use it to his advantage, but after hearing what Hatori had told him about Akito's condition, maybe good would come out of it, and this time Akito wouldn't try to stop it. Maybe something was working in the man's heart; he didn't know what, but something.
"Mom made me bring Yuki," a small, orange-haired figure said disappointedly as a small girl with brown hair turned to smile at the other boy standing next to him. He had silvery hair and was wearing a slight smile.

"That's all right, now we can have more people for tag!" she cried happily.

"Yuki can't run," the boy said, chuckling.

"Shut up, I can so!" the other boy shouted, his face growing red with embarrassment and anger.

"Cannot!" Kyo cried.

"Can so!" Yuki screamed. Tohru just stared at the two in bewilderment as a red-headed figure came up behind her.

"What's going on out there?" the woman asked. "Oh, Kyo, you're here, and how sweet of you to bring Yuki with you."

"Not really," Kyo grumbled under his breath.

Tohru awoke with a start, sitting straight up in bed. She shook her head as she thought of the dream she had just had. It didn't make any sense, Kyo and now her. Now she knew what he meant by the dream seeming so real because hers had felt the same. Could the sickness be contagious? What if it was spreading, would Yuki and Shigure get it too? For some reason she felt like it wouldn't be happening to them, only herself and Kyo.
