Akuma:Thanxs to Crazed up Chick to make this chapter possible for you all to read, to dayit is a Grateful Dead song, Box of Rain is actually one of my favorite songs...And I have something for you. I made up my mother's name after I heard a grateful dead song called "Aiko Aiko" and yes Aiko is Japanese. Here is the song, Aiko Aiko
My spy boy saw your spy boy sittin' by the fi-yo
My spy boy told your spy boy, "I'm gonna set you flag on fi-yo"
I said, "Hey now," "Hey now, "
Aiko Aiko all day, jockomofeno na na nay, jockomoa feena nay
My grandma and your grandma were sitting by the fire
Said my grandma to your grandma, "gonna get your tail on fire."
I said, "hey now," "hey now, "
Aiko Aiko all day, jockomo feno na na nay, jockomo feena nay
And if your wondering, they make that song like 10 minutes long or something like that, I haven't heard that song in a long time. So anyway, here is another Grateful Dead song, this chapter takes place in 'August'
Chapter 3: Box of Rain
It is now three months of pregnancy. Ayame and Akuma's stomachs were now 'fat'. Kouga told Ayame of what happened the full moon night but never mentioned it to Akuma.
While Akuma was inside the cave, alone, Kouga and Ayame were walking.
"Kouga...why do you think you smell Akuma's blood lately." Ayame turned to him.
Kouga shook his head, "I just don't know. It must not be serious if Akuma hasn't mentioned it."
They walked back into the cave and they didn't know it. "I just think we should talk about..."
"About what" Akuma popped up.
Kouga was shocked so was Ayame, Kouga wanted to tell the truth but couldn't, "Baby names" he lied.
"Baby names" Akuma lifted on of her eyebrows.
Ayame knew there was no turning back, "yes baby names. I mean we only have two months until we give birth."
Akuma knew something was wrong here but she decided to play along, "okay...what kind of names."
Kouga and Ayame sighed, she was fooled. They both sat down as they thought for a minute.
Ayame was the first to shoot up with an answer, "I was thinking of naming our daughter something like Ame"
"Rain...name our SON after rain? Why don't we give HIM a name like Kari"
Ayame rolled her eyes, name HER after the hunt you got to be kidding me. Name it after the moon, Tsuki."
"I think my son should have a powerful name like Gekido, rage." Akuma popped up
Kouga thought for a moment, "No that seems a bit too...evil like, but I do like how you think"
"How about something like Kagekiha, radical" Akuma shrugged.
Ayame replied, "that seems a bit like the language of those guys from Kagome's time...what did she call them...oh yeah, surfers. I think a perfect daughter name would be Yorokobi"
Kouga and Akuma stared at her,"Delight?"
Ayame stared at them, "okay maybe not Yorokobi but maybe...something like Arashi"
Kouga smiled,"Now that's a alpha's name, storm"
Akuma growled in her throat, "oh yeah just because your name means 'steel fang' or something like that doesn't mean that every alpha has a powerful name. Look at Ayame's name, it means 'Iris' and my name means...just forget about it."
"Wait a second, what does Akuma mean" Ayame thought.
"JUST FORGET ABOUT IT OKAY, let's just say it means...devilish person" Akuma folded her arms, Ayame and Kouga stared at her, "what, can't some one have that kind of name or something. Now lets get back to baby names, I've been thinking. I know that my son will have a great fighting spirit so how about Toshi."
"Nice but...a girls name would be something 'sly' like Zurui." Ayame thought.
"Maybe Kousen, after all, him being a wolfdog and all, he will go through a lot of battles." Akuma slowly rubbed her stomach, knowing that there was life inside.
"I think that's enough for now" Kouga streached.
Akuma looked up, "yes, I think maybe we should stop." she got up and leaned against the wall, her white wolf tail wagged a bit. "I need to go outside for a bit..." she sighed and walked out the cave.
"Akuma has been taking a lot of walks lately" Ayame stared at the waterfall.
Kouga stood there, something told him that he should follow her, "I'm gonna follow her" he shouted and ran out the cave.
Ayame felt it too, she felt the instict of something weird, and followed as well.
Akuma ran to a small hill in the middle of no where. It was the beginning of fall and the trees were slowly turning red, orange, yellow, and other colors. The wolfdog youkai grasped the claw that hung around her neck. Damn that pain agian she started to sweat. I think this is serious...maybe Kouga should know...no Kouga should not know...maybe I should just tell Ayame...no she would make Kouga suspicious. I can't go to the healer, she would tell Kouga no matter what I say...why do I feel like, her thoughts trailed off, like I should keep this from Kouga. Akuma felt weak again and fell, Kouga just came into the feild when she fell
"AKUMA" Kouga shouted.
Akuma slowly got up, What was that voice, it sounded like...no he can't be here...not now...while...she grasped her stomach as blood flowed out of her mouth.
"AKUMA" Kouga shouted even more when he saw it. Akuma couldn't take the pain anymore and leaned forward until her world went black and she fell head first into the puddle of blood. Staining her white hair.
"Aku..." Kouga gasped and lifted her up a bit.
"Kouga" Ayame's voice came.
Kouga looked down to see Ayame at the bottom of the hill, "Ayame, come here"
"WHAT" Ayame was confused.
"GET UP HERE."
Ayame didn't see what happend, and was confused until she saw blood dripping from Akuma's face. She knew then and ran up the hill.
"Stay here with Akuma while I go get our healer, Yakuso." Kouga ordered.
Ayame agreed while Kouga laid Akuma in the grass away from the puddle of blood. Ayame sat down next to her. Doing whatever she can to help.
A while later Yakuso got there and was examining Akuma. After a few minutes of looking and questioning Kouga, she came with a conclusion, "Well she has Shukketsu Suru, or for shorter Ketsueki. This sickness makes the victim cough up blood and in violent ways, from what I noticed it's been happening for three months at the least."
"THREE MONTHS" Ayame was shocked, "but she's been pregnant for three months."
"That's one on the things I'm worried about, of course one of the syptoms is not telling anyone about it, no wonder she didn't even come to me about it." Yakuso sighed, "what I am really worried about is the fact of how you can get it, and there is only one way."
"And that is..." Kouga was serious.
"milk from the Chi plant. If milk from the Chi plant is ever put inside a body through the mouth and into the stomach, then they get this sickness, I am not sure if anybody in the tribe would try to poison her." Yokuso rubbed her head.
Ayame looked at Akuma's pale face, "Is there a cure."
"Well no," the wolf youkai healer lowered her face, "but it won't kill her, I hope, but I am more worried about the baby, whatever goes in her stomach goes to the baby, but Chi milk sometimes doesn't go to the baby at all. I just hope it's the matter here. Also I know she will lose a lot of blood so keep trying to make her drink water and while she is like this, it's best not to go in a lot of fights"
"How long will it be before she is cured." Kouga clenched his fist.
The healer shook her head, "It's hard to say, from what I know she took a few drops, so it will pass in a month or so."
"thank you" Ayame bowed respectfully. Kouga followed.
Yakuso smiled and bowed, "come to me for any other problems."
"eh..." Akuma started to awake as Yakuso left the feild.
"I think I should leave for a while" Ayame knew Kouga had to talk to the wolfdog and left the feild.
"Kouga" Akuma got up.
Kouga sat down next to her, "Akuma...you should have told me." he sighed.
"About what"
"About your sickness, Yakuso called it Ketsueki. I know it makes you not want to tell others, but still that's not like you, you should have told me."
Akuma looked away, "I've been thinking lately, I just figured that you didn't care about me anymore. I mean the necklace was one thing but, I know you've been kissing Ayame a lot more. I just figured that."
"Akuma.." Kouga remembered that night a month ago when Akuma saw Ayame and him kissing, "I do care about you, you've just not been yourself lately. And I've been worried."
"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING" Akuma glared at him, her eyes were getting a bit mosture. She never like crying, but she couldn't contain herself, "I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT TO AYAME. And I know you told her not to tell me" her face was twisted with angst, "I bet you don't even love me anymore" she whispered quietly.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, I CARE ABOUT YOU" he turned to her.
"I know your speaking lies, speaking lies just to make me feel better" she growled.
Kouga couldn't take it anymore, "I LOVE YOU AKUMA DAMN IT"
Look out of any window, any morning, any evening, any day.
Maybe the sun is shining, birds are singing,
No rain is falling from a heavy sky
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago.
Walk out of any doorway, feel you way, feel your way like the day before.
Maybe you'll find direction,
Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you.
What do you want me to do, to watch for you while you are sleeping?
The please don't be surprised whe you find me dreaming too.
Look into any eyes find you find by you, you can see clear to another day,
Maybe been seen before, through other eyes on other days while going home.
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago.
Walk into splintered sunlight,
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land.
Maybe you're tired and broken,
Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.
Just a box of rain, wind and water,
Sun and shower, wind and rain,
In and out the window like a moth before a flame.
And it's just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there,
Believe it you you need it, or leave it if you dare.
And it's just a box of rain, or a ribbon for tour hair;
Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
He grasped her in his arms and kissed her on the lips. That kiss made Akuma realise, Kouga did love her. She slowly kissed back. Kouga...I'm sorry....she melted into his grasp and forgot everything...and nothing else in the world mattered...
"erm..." Ayame's voice was heard from behind them.
Akuma and Kouga tore from the kiss and stared at her, Kouga was having major de jah vuu, "Umm do you know I still love you both." he smiled.
Ayame rolled her eyes, "of course I do" she got into the big hug and kissed Kouga on the cheek.
Kouga smiled, so how is my son doing after that 'episode' he looked towards Akuma.
"I think he wil..."
"WHAT" two voices screamed.
The youkais turned to see Ginta and Hakkaku staring up at them, "Ginta, Hakkaku" Kouga growled.
"Is Akuma pregnant" Ginta screamed.
Hakkaku looked at Ayame, "SHE TOO"
"I guess the cat's out of the bag," Akuma sighed as she rememberd that line Kagome said.
Kouga surfaced his fangs, "yeah, I guess you can tell the whole tribe then."
"Jezz Kouga, it's been like five months already since you married them, how long have they been pregnant." Ginta asked.
Kouga growled deep in his throat and whispered, "three months"
Hakkaku looked up at him, "WHAT WAS THAT"
"THREE MONTHS" he shouted, "AND IF YOUR GOING TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE I'M A PERVERT, THEN YOU BETTER NOT SAY IT WHILE YOU'RE ALIVE." Kouga raised a fist at them.
Ginta and Hakkaku shivered, "No-o...s-sir" they shivered.
"Wait until the tribe finds out" Ginta shouted.
"LET'S GO TELL EVERYBODY" Hakkaku followed.
Kouga placed his forehead in his hand and growled, "great, now the whole tribe will think I'm a pervert"
