"Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Laughter filled the large spacious lounge room of the Hiwatari estate. Bryan sat crossed legged on the two seater lounge holding his stomach as he laughed. "Punched him. Broke his nose." he said between breathes.
Next to him was the redheaded Scot known as Johnny, in a state similar to his. "My stomach hurts!"
"Come on," Hilary huffed sending the two a sour look. "it wasn't that funny."
Claude looked annoyed and huffed as well. "I think he deserved it."
Tyson is screaming in pain as Spencer attempts to place his nose back into place, but since Tyson won't stop squirming he has to it the painful way. He rolled his eyes and with a quick flick of his wrist, popped Tyson's nose back into joint.
Tyson let out a girly scream as Spencer finally let go of him. "That hurt!"
Spencer rolled his eyes towards the heavens once again. "If you would have just stopped squirming it wouldn't have hurt nearly as much."
"I swear Tyson, you're so childish." Robert said, shaking his head at the youth.
"Not to mention stupid." Tala snapped. "Who in their right mind would tell a pregnant person that they are really fat?"
"What about me?" Daichi asked from his position on the floor, balancing an ice pack on his head. "I didn't do anything wrong."
"You poked Kai in the stomach, Daichi." Claude replied. "Where do you think the baby is?"
"So Kai is pregnant?" Max asked, more to himself then to anyone else, but they had heard it just the same.
"Yes, Kai is pregnant." Spencer said slowly. "But you're all very lucky that Kai needs to take it easy or he would have no doubt shown you all where to go."
"Go where?" Daichi asked.
"He means Kai would have kicked the snot out of us." Ray replied as he continue to hold his hair protectively in his hands. He was constantly looking over his shoulder just in case Kai might sneak up on him and cut off his precious hair.
"Just you wait." Bryan said as he had finally calmed down from his laughing fit. He regarded Ray with an evil glint in his eye. "He won't get you today, and he might not get you tomorrow, but rest assured he will exact his revenge upon you."
Ray winced and looked a little frighten. "Thanks, Bryan."
… … … … …
Slowly and reluctantly Kai blinked open his eyes. He didn't want to leave the comforting sanctuary of his dreams but he awoken to a dull ache in the stomach region. He sleepily rubbed at his eyes as he realized that he was being held lovingly by his soul mate.
Miguel leaned against the bed head, his arms wrapped tightly around Kai, one of his hands laying protectively over his stomach.
Slowly as not to wake the sleeping blond, Kai lifted his head slightly to get a better look at Miguel. His stunning blue eyes were hiding behind long thick eyelashes, his mouth open slightly as he breathed in quietly through his nose and exhaled through his mouth.
Kai smiled up at him. He carefully lifted his hand and kissed his finger tips, then placed them on Miguel's in an indirect kiss. He didn't want to move in fear of waking him.
Miguel had been so loving, so supportive about everything. He's patient, kind and understanding, and to Kai he was the best thing that has ever happened to him. Some days he would feel as though Miguel deserved so much better. But each time he would say that Miguel would take him into his arms, kiss him lovingly on the lips and tell him the same thing.
"What I deserve is my heart's one true desire, my soul mate and my happiness, all of which I have found in you."
Every time Kai would hear those words, they would bring him close to tears. What could he have done to deserve such a wonderful being like Miguel?
Frowning slightly at the twinge of slight discomfort in his abdomen, Kai slowly removed himself from Miguel's warm and comforting grip. He wondered if he should wake his caring lover but decided against it. The last few days had being stressful for him as well. Jumping each time Kai would sigh and groan about a twinge of pain.
Kai scooted over to the edge of the bed and stood up, albeit he did find it a tad difficult since he was unaided. He placed his hands on the small of his back, inwardly muttering about the constant ache that was there. He looked over to Miguel again and a smile immediately crept onto his face. He looked so adorable sitting there asleep with his mouth the slightest bit open.
Being mindful not to wake him Kai placed a small kiss on his forehead. "I love you." He whispered before leaving the room, quietly shutting the door behind him.
As he walked down the hall towards the lounge room Kai felt another uncomfortable twinge. He frowned, could it be a sign that the baby was coming soon? Should he go tell Spencer?
It wouldn't hurt, he decided.
But as he reached for the door that would lead him into the lounge room he heard a voice. Tyson's voice.
"Come on. Kai's going to be a parent?" He snorts. "Yeah right. The poor kid will do nothing but train. Can you imagine it? 'If you don't practice you won't be good enough to enter the tournament, blah, blah, blah'."
"Tyson." That was Max's voice and it sounded stress.
Unfortunately Tyson paid no attention and continued. "Oh, and I bet Kai will be really affectionate. Giving the kid plenty of hugs, read him bedtime stories." He snorts. "He'll take after Voltaire, I'm sure."
Kai froze. Like Voltaire? He'll be like Voltaire?
Gasping softly, Kai stumbled away from the door, his arms wrapping around his stomach. He felt his heart start thumping in his chest. Will he be able to give this child all the love and understanding that this child deserves, or will he turn out to be just like Voltaire?
He heard other voices inside the room, but paid no attention to them. With tears in his eyes, Kai turned on his heel and stumbled towards the front of the manor. He opened the door and stepped out into the bitingly cold winter air.
The wind was cold enough to freeze everything it touches but Kai paid no heed. He walked out of the large security gates that enclose the place and headed towards a secluded path through a sparsely populated park.
But if Kai had waited for a mere moment he would have heard a chorus of snarls and an indignant cry from the world champion. A mere second after that he would have heard the window being opened and Spencer throwing Tyson out of it into the large fish pond below. But, he didn't hear any of that and assumed the silence was a bad thing.
With his head down, his long bangs covering his eyes, Kai walked aimlessly through the deserted park, a few crystalline tears slipping over the porcine skin of his cheeks.
What should he do? What if he can't give this child the life it deserves? He won't just abandon the child and Miguel, but what if he does turn out to be just like Voltaire? What if the only way to protect the ones he loves is to leave them and never to return?
They would hate him, but they'll…
Stopping suddenly, Kai wiped his eyes with the back of his sleeve, his breathing slightly erratic due to the fact that he was trying to suppress the sobs that threaten to arise. He shook his head, dislodging more tears.
"Miguel…" He whispered. "I can't leave him. I can't. I love him too much."
"Isn't that sweet?"
"Huh?" Startled, Kai looked over his shoulder to see a flash of something metallic. Acting on impulse Kai lifted his arm to shield his face, wincing when he felt something cold and sharp slice through his skin.
Despite being pregnant, Kai was able to jump back, out of range. He grasped at the large cut on his arm, feeling the warm life giving blood flow through his fingers. He hissed in pain and glared through his bangs at a tall, lanky man wearing a strangely shaped mask.
"Well done." The man sneered. "I see that even though you're heavy with child, you still have your amazing reflexes."
Kai froze. He knows that voice. It's…
"Lets see if you can dodge this." He smirked and moved forward, striking the knife at Kai once again.
Kai pivoted to the side, but wasn't able to avoid the whole attack and was struck on the shoulder. He fell back, landing at the foot of a large tree. He hissed in pain and clutched his arm as the other instinctively moved to protect his stomach. He heard the man laugh and knew instantly who he was.
Scared, Kai snapped his gaze directly at the man who was towering over him. His heart pounding in his chest as he swallowed thickly in fear. "No…" He whispered.
The man smirked. "Oh, yes, dear Kai."
"Boris?"
Just a evil little cliff hanger for you to enjoy. Like it? (sees a large crowd carrying pitchforks and torches) Ok, maybe not…
Kai: (twitching and looking murderous)
(Sweatdrops) Now Kai, calm down. If you kill me I won't be able to update.
Please read and review before I am savagely murdered.
