Disclaimer: Is that dumb rule about not replying to reviews gone yet?
A/N: It leads off from my last story, and it has a mystery couple in it. I wanna see everyone guess in their reviews who they think the couple is, and at the end of each chapter, I'll put another clue. Happy guessing! .

Motherly Love
"Push Ichigo!" Ichigo grunted and heaved as Malachite waited below with a towel. Antauri looked on, helpless to stop his wife's labour pains and resorting to letting her crush his hand.
"Almost out!" called Malachite and, with one final heave, Ichigo collapsed back against the pillows. She panted heavily as she watched Malachite clean up the baby; it was white, with grey metal parts and large green eyes. Ichigo held back a happy sob as Antauri took the baby and sat beside her, they smiled at each other lovingly,
"Our new baby" whispered Antauri and Ichigo nodded, too tired to talk, and smiled warmly at the little one nestled in the sheets.
They stayed like that for a few moments, the peaceful silence and picturesque scene of a family together then the final member of this family burst in,
"Lemme see, lemme see!" cried Zakuro, flying in and dodging Malachite. "I wanna see my new sister!" she cried. That made Ichigo think,
"Um, is it a girl?" asked Ichigo, looking towards Malachite. He glared at Zakuro once more before turning to her, he sweat dropped
"Uh well I don't... really... know" he admitted sheepishly.
"Whaddya mean, you don't know? You're the doctor, you're meant to know!" Zakuro cried, before crossing her arms, "dumb quack!" she taunted and Malachite's eyebrow twitched. He stomped forwards and pulled apart the towels and checked.
"It's a boy" he finally said, Antauri grinned, Ichigo smiled but Zakuro frowned.
"No! That's my new baby sister! So it's a girl!" she argued, Malachite could feel an artery throbbing in his temple.
"No" he gritted out, "I've just checked, and it's a boy. He's your new baby brother!"
"Nuh uh, you dumb geek!" cried Zakuro, then she flew forwards, "I'll check!" She reached towards the towels, but Malachite held her fast,
"Zakuro! It's a boy, get over it!" he yelled, Zakuro tugged her hand out of his grip and glared,
"I'm gonna check for myself!" she cried, reaching out again, this time Malachite grabbed both hands and turned her to face him.
"Look! I'm right! I've got medical degree can do something as simple as check a baby's gender!" Zakuro's eyes narrowed.
Antauri and Ichigo watched as the two fought on, Antauri coughed to get Ichigo's attention and then smiled.
"What shall we name him, my dear?" he asked quietly, leaning close to be heard over the racket, Ichigo looked thoughtful,
"Hmm... how about Bakura?" she replied, the baby bounced and giggled at the name. Antauri grinned,
"Very well, Bakura it is!" he agreed, tickling the baby, who giggled more.
Suddenly they heard a clang of metal hitting head and turned to see Zakuro panting heavily and Malachite knocked out on the floor. Antauri sighed,
"Put another mark up for Zakuro!" he called and they heard someone drawing a tally mark on a chalkboard. Then the others solemnly came in and stated fixing Malachite.
Later, Antauri decided to have a chat with his daughter,
"Zaki, my dear, this has to stop! All this fighting with Malachite is unnecessary, I'm sure you two could get along great if you stopped and thought about it" he got a grunt in response and his shoulder slumped, this wasn't working. "Please, Zaki, just try to get along with Malachite!" he felt like dropping to his knees at this point but he restrained himself from doing it. Zakuro glanced back at him,
"I'll try as soon as he starts being nice to me!" she replied and Antauri felt like pulling his fur out.
'Hope Ichigo's having more luck with Malachite' he thought, as he dropped to his knees and begged.
"She's an annoying, egotistical brat!" ranted Malachite, with bandages around his head. Ichigo watched as the green and white monkey continued to pace around in front of her and rant on about how he hated Zakuro, "she always does this to me! No one else just me!" he pointed at himself to emphasise it. Then he remained silent so Ichigo presumed he wanted her input,
"Maybe she really likes you, but can't show it?" she said, boy was that the wrong answer. Malachite went off worse than ever, complaining about Zakuro, how they constantly fought, and how it would be impossible for her to remotely like him if she acted like this. Ichigo held up a hand to pause him, "You think to logically, Malachite, you need to think laterally as well. Sure she acts like this, but haven't you heard the saying? 'You always hurt the ones you love', it does have a ring of truth if you put it into perspective" she watched as Malachite thought about these little wise words from the usually bubbly monkey. She smiled, "perhaps you should try being nice to her?" Ichigo wheedled, but her high spirits fell when she saw an almost perfect replica of Onyx when he's stubborn appear on Malachite's face,
"Me? Be nice to her?" he screeched, obviously outraged at the very idea, "No way! I'll never be nice to that little brat!" Ichigo was no at her wits end over this,
"But if you're nice to her, then maybe she'll start being nice to you!" argued Ichigo. "Perhaps you two will see what you have in common then?"
"Hah!" snorted Malachite, "I have nothing in common with that brat!"
"We're complete polar opposites!" cried Zakuro to Antauri, "we'll always fight!"
"And we'll never get along!" they cried in unison, despite being in different rooms. Antauri and Ichigo pouted,
"I can think of one way they're similar" they grumbled.
Meanwhile, Bakura listened in his crib to both parties and he started thinking,
'Why can't they like each other? They both like to shout, and fight. Maybe they have other things in common. And what was that Mummy said about you hurt the ones you love? Well they both sounded hurt so they must really love each other!" concluded Bakura, feeling proud with himself for working it out. He decided to prove this little theory of his to the others, and with one flick of his finger, he was free of his crib and on his way to Malachite's room.
A few minutes later, the whole of Shugazoom heard Zakuro and Malachite scream. Everyone rushed out to see the new collide and start yelling at each other,
"Where is it?" demanded Zakuro, glaring into Malachite's face with teeth bared and energy bolts ready.
"I told you to stay outta my room!" he screamed back, saws whirring angrily.
"Whoa, whoa!" cried Jet, stepping between them, "what's the matter?"
"This little worm-"started Malachite,
"Me! You lousy lying scum! You went into my room!" shrieked Zakuro,
"No I didn't!" cried Malachite, fire in his eyes; "You went into mine and stole my diary!" Zakuro looked so outraged everyone was surprised she didn't blast his head off then.
"I've never even touched your stupid diary! But I wanna know what you've done with mine!" they glared and continued to shriek at each other until the others held their ears in pain from the pitch.
"ENOUGH!" bellowed Onyx, silencing the two, "just shut up and go to your rooms! Whoever stole your diaries will return them immediately or else!"
Bakura crawled up from around the corner, rubbing an eye. Zakuro picked him up and glared at Malachite, before leaving for her room. Malachite growled and also walked away, his tail flicking in annoyance.
Everyone winced when they heard the doors slam hard; Otto sighed and knew it meant he'd need to fix the hinges again.
Zakuro growled and grumbled as she floated into her room, and placed Bakura on the bed. She was so deep in her mental ranting that she didn't notice the book on her bed, Bakura picked it up and squealed happily, grabbing her attention.
"Huh?" she said, taking it gently, "what's this?" she asked aloud before opening it.
Malachite stormed into his room, causing mountains of papers to fall and scatter, he let out a primal- like scream and fell on the bed, he noticed some bounce up as he fell and he looked over. It was a small book, he picked it up casually and flicked through, he gasped in shock.Yay! Chapter one done! Hope you liked it, now here's the clue for the couples:
They're both OCs
