I do not own ruroni Kenshin. So there. (Sticks tongue out at lawyer's)
Chapter 7
The ballroom was filled with people, um, vampires. Kaoru stared in wonder, she knew some of the people here. Tae her a friend from middle school was sitting by Soujuro, her OLDER BROTHER, that disappeared two years ago.
"Soujuro?" She whispered unsure.
"You know Soujiro, Kaoru?" Kenshin asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, he's my brother."
Kenshin froze. Soujiro, was his Kaoru's brother. He had said that he had no family to return to, he probably thought his sister dead. Kenshin had done some digging on what happened to Kaoru, and he had found out that her mother was murdered on the day(this is just the anniversary of her mothers death) he met her three months ago.
"Go talk to him." Kenshin prompted.
Kaoru walked over to Tae and Soujiro.
"Tae, Soujiro."
Both Tae and Soujiro turned their heads at her voice only to have their jaw hang open in shock.
"KAORU!" They yelled in unison after getting over their shock. "You're the mistress vampire?" Soujiro partially asked.
Kaoru slapped Soujiro with tears in her eyes.
"You jerk I thought you were dead," She cried her pregnancies horormons kicking in. "I thought you were dead. Mama died shortly after you left, and I was all alone and shipped off to an orphanage."
Soujiro's bangs covered his eyes, he thought her dead, but she was alive. His little sister was alive.
"I thought you were dead, I thought who ever killed mom, killed you as well."
Soujiro threw his arms around his sister in a hug, crying his eyes out on her shoulder. He hadn't cried since that day. The day of his mothers death, of course had perfected a happy mask which he wore constantly.
"I was still at school when mom died. I was working on a FFA project."
"I should have known you always did enjoy growing things and staying in a place where nature is, I bet you love the garden is." Soujiro said his mask coming back into place.
"I would like it better I Kenshin, wasn't here." Kaoru said with a glint in her eyes.
"And why is that?" Soujiro asked, although he had a theory. His theory was that she didn't like him for some reason, and the only reason she was mated to him at the moment was because she got caught up in the moment, and Lord Battousai took advantage of her.
"I rather not say." Kaoru blushed confirming Soujiro's theory.
"You got caught up in the moment didn't you."
Kaoru blushed tomato red before nodding. Soujiro burst out laughing. Then he mumble under his breath. "Same old Kaoru. If not a little big in the mid section."
Soujiro made sure to say the last part loud enough for Kaoru to hear. It had the desired effects. Kaoru turned deep red with anger, and while she would have rather torched him for that comment she satisfied her self with how she was going to torture her brother. Than she tried to strangle him
Kenshin was obserbing in the distance in all the time he had knew Soujiro he had never seen Soujiro's happy mask slipped like it had to night. He was as surprised as he could of been. He gut had thought his sister dead, why wouldn't the mask slip?
He looked at his beautiful mate, actually he looked at her stomach growing and rounding with their child. Hopefully a girl to spoil, or maybe a boy. He liked ethier. He was worried she was far to big to just three months pregnant... unless she was carrying more than one child.
"Well, it is almost time for her ultrasound." He said to him self.
He looked up to see Kaoru trying to strangle her big brother, and being the curious vampire he is he had to see why Kaoru, who had been in tears when she saw her brother was now trying to kill.
"I'm not fat you jerk!" Kaoru screamed succefully getting her hands around her brothers neck.
"Well that answer's that question." Kenshin mumbled to him self.
Kenshin's many subjects were looking at Soujiro in sympathy. And some of the ladies were gossiping.
"..poor boy.."
"...really, shouldn't call a pregnant women fat...
"...remember when my wife was...
"...of course she gonna try and strangle him..."
"...it's his own fault..."
"...he was such a nice boy..."
"That was Danny, grandma."
This was some of the gossip he caught, although he did agree with a few of those comments. You really shouldn't call a pregnant woman fat. It was a fatal mistake to call a pregnant women fat. Kenshin looked at the blue face of Soujiro and decided he was going to save him from his sister.
He walked up to Kaoru, and tapped on her shoulder bringing out of her 'I'm-strangling-my-brother-because-he's-a-jerk' trance.
"May I have this dance." He asked with a bow.
"Yes, you may." Kaoru said with gritted teeth.
And so they danced.
"Tae, remind me never to call Kaoru fat again." Soujiro said while heaving, and trying to catch his breath.
"No, can do." Tae said laughing. "You have to learn on your own not to call a pregnant women fat."
"But she's my sister, I'm supposed to make fun of her."
"True, your supposed to make fun of a sister, but it not wise to make fun of an pregnant women." Tae said slightly sarcaticlly. "Beside if you want to keep your life and possibly your ability to reproduce, you might want to tone down you attitude."
"How do you know all this?"
"I was one of you sister's friends in middle school."
"Ah." Was all he said.
Kenshin and Kaoru were the center of attention. They dance as if they were walking on air. Kaoru actually enjoyed the dance, and eventually she laid her head on Kenshin's shoulder, and this was a bad idea because a)He took advantage of her, b)she didn't like him and c)she fell asleep.
Kaoru awoke in their room. She idly wonder if he undress her as she was in her pajamas. Most likely. She found she didn't care as much as she use to. Just because, well, she was used to it. She just knew lying he head on his shoulder was a bad idea. She was going to kill him later, but first breakfast.
Kenshin decided to strut on in the room when she was in the middle of changing her shirt this was really starting to wear on her nerves.
"Guess what thistle?" Kenshin said a bit entusaticly
"What?" She said eyeing him supisitiously. Something was up.
"Its time for your ultrasound."
So that was why he was so chipper.
"But the baby shouldn't be that developed until the third month." Kaoru Said slightly confused.
"Well in humans, yes, but you my dear are a vampire and as such the child develops faster the regular term for vampire pregnancy is seven months."
Kaoru said the frist thing that came to mind. "Oh, fuck."
"Language thistle." Kenshin scolded. "Now time for your ultrasound."
Kaoru being the hormonal pregnant women that she is decided to be difficult, and by being difficult she did a very stupid thing. She stuck her tongue out at Kenshin. Now Kenshin being the Horney vampire that he is embraced the hell out of her.
"Unless your plan on using that tongue put it away."
Kaoru face turned an intresting shade of red. Kenshin draged her to Megumi's office while she was unable to from simple sentences because of his implement behind his sentence.
Megumi chose that moment to walk in pulling on gloves.
"Now lets get started shall we." Megumi said taking out a tube of gel.
"That's cold!" Kaoru yipped when Megumi applied the gel on to Kaoru's stomach. She started to move the metal thingy that helps you see the baby around before looking on the screen.
"Oh Kami!" Megumi nearly shouted.
"What is it Megumi?" Kenshin asked.
She said one word that made Kenshin freeze "Triplets."
"What's the gender?" Kaoru asked pale faced. She wasn't expecting triplets. Twins maybe, but triplets.
"A boy, a girl, and I can't tell the gender of the last one we'll have to wait to know that one." Megumi said rubbing her own stomach.
Noriykoi: well that's that chapter. For all those that said F than your right, and how are they going to take care of three babies well you'll have to read the next chapter to find out.
Now can you guess the last baby's gender
A)boy
B)girl
bye
