Well I wasn't planning on doing more Amagi stuff, but considering the circumstances I took this as an opportunity. This was written for a project what will involve varies Commanders in a seaport that are essentially self-inserts of a number of writers working together in a single port. This is more or less the introduction of myself into this project and thus rather self-indulgent in nature, so do keep that in mind.

Otherwise enjoy the story for there will be more to come soon enough.

"Hey Chikuma?"

"Yeah, Aoba?" The heavy cruiser replied even as she walked along the wide wooden hallways. Her two companions followed close behind.

"Do you think something's up with Shikikan and Amagi-san?" The other heavy cruiser replied, arms crossed with a thoughtful expression on her face. "The two of them have been spending a lot of time together recently."

"Well they have always been close." The answer came from Jintsuu, who covered her mouth with her fan, suppressing a melodic giggle. "Those two might as well be husband and wife."

"Yeah! But without any of the Spicy stuff!" Aoba said with frustration, her cheeks lighting up into a light blush. "I've followed them plenty of times, all they ever do is discuss strategies, or share war stories or gush about food or just talk about random things. And they barely even flirt ever! I don't think they've even held hands..."

"Well yes, neither of them are 'together together'" Chikuma went on with what sounded like a sigh of relief. "Their relationship seems to be completely platonic."

"Well if your all seeing eye says so." The other heavy cruiser jeered back with a roll of her eyes.

"Hehe, well that's just more Shikikan for the rest of us." Chikuma giggled, soon joined in by Jintsuu.

"Now what's all this talk about Shikikan-Sama?"

The three of them stopped in their tracks at the familiar voice, all turning around to see the person they were talking about all this time. Standing there in all her elegance, adored in her usual purple kimono with the exception of her bodysuit, yet her big red umbrella remained in tow. Smiling at the small cruiser squadron, a smile that all of them had grown to fear by now. One that had a particular sinister edge...

"H-hey, Amagi-san…" Aoba began, grinning back uneasily at the battlecruiser while her compatriots did the same. "We were just talking about… How busy Shikikan seems to be at work lately!"

"Ye-yes…" Jintsuu chimed in similarly, hiding her face partially behind her fan. "He seems to have more work lately."

"Hmm, all I can say is that he's planning a rather special event soon." Amagi replied, slowly approaching the trio. "I have been working closely with him on this."

"Yeah, we noticed. You've been his secretary for a while too." Chikuma went on, her eyes on the battlecruiser who was gracefully striding past her. "I assume you're heading to his office right now too?"

"Yes, as much as I would like to chat, I have some urgent news to deliver to him."

"Well Amagi-san, don't let us keep you, then" Aoba said somewhat enthusiastically, watching the fox woman as she was walking away rather briskly.

"Ahaha I don't intend to at all…"

The three of them kept their eyes glued to the battlecruiser. Simply gazing at the sight of her many rails swaying to and fro as she slowly disappeared into the darkness of the long corridor. Once she was gone they all let out a brief sigh of relief.

"Ehhh Remind me never to get on her bad side." Aoba said, shivering in fright.

"Mhmm, She keeps the First Carrier Division in line after all." The light cruiser added, fanning herself gently. "Amagi-san is definitely not one to be trifled with."

"Still…" Chikuma said thoughtfully, looking up at the metal ceiling. "I wonder what the important news is."

Her companions did the same, all of them quietly contemplating what may be going on.

"It's probably nothing." The trio exclaimed loudly almost in complete unison, before turning to each other and letting out a short laugh to their own antics.

Amagi on the other hand…

"Shikikan-Sama!" The doors of The Commander's office burst open, revealing the brown haired kitsune entering the room. The impassive look on her face betrayed the excitement in her voice.

"Ahh Amagi." Her commander replied formally, seated at his desk and focused on signing papers like always. "I assume the results of this week's exercises have returned?"

"No…" She replied, her cheeks turning a slight shade of pink. "I'm here for more urgent business…"

"Well, what is it then?" Her Commander asked, not even looking up at her.

"It's about...us"

Almost immediately he dropped his pen and raised his head, his expression looking dead serious. "Lock the door and take a seat on the couch. I will join you immediately."

Amagi only nodded in response, doing as he had asked. The door locked behind her with a metallic clock before entering further into the room. She leaned her umbrella against the couch and sat on it down gingerly. Her hands clasped together on her lap.

The battlecruiser watched as her Commander walked around his desk, nervously approaching her. He sat down beside her on the couch, taking her hands onto his own and looking deep into her lilac eyes. His gaze was full of hope and great expectations.

"Amagi…" He whispered, his grip around her tightening comfortingly. "Does that mean…?"

"Yes…" She murmured back, her lips curling into a blissful smile and eyes becoming misty. "I am pregnant, Anata… I have your child growing within me as we speak…"

"A-Amagi…" He stuttered out, his lips curling into an uncontrollably wide grin. Abruptly he wrapped his arms around her, pulling his soon-to-be wife into a loving embrace. Amagi responded by hugging him back and leaning her head against shoulder.

"I'm so happy…" Her Commander went on, gently rubbing her back. "I-I'm gonna be a Father!."

"Yes Shikikan-sama…" Amagi closed her eyes, the first pair of tears streaking down her cheeks, her grip around him tightening. "We can finally start a life together..."

The two of them remained like this for a little longer, then he finally pulled away. Reach up to cup both sides of her face, wiping off the lines of tears. The Commander smiled warmly at her, just as warm and soothing as a fortnight ago. The night they made love so many times

"Just us." He went on, once again gazing deep into her lilac eyes. "You, me and our little ball of floof."

With that he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, caressing them into a loving kiss. His hands sliding down to the back of her head, only deeping it further and threading her fingers in her long brown hair. Similarly she reached up to grip the collar of his shirt, nails digging into the clothing as she yanked him closer.

It was not long before their lip lock became more intense, when tongues began to mingle against one in unspoken passion. The kitsune moaned softly into his mouth, her chest brushing against his as their kissinggot heated. To the point that their frantic motions caused her kimono to slip down slightly, slowly baring her neck and shoulders.

Though it was barely a minute later when the pressure in their chests became two much and the couple were forced apart with strained breath. A mutual strand of saliva still connected their list as they breathlessly gazed at one another for a few moments.

Then his eyes drifted down to her bosom, immediately smiling at the sight that greeted him. Numerous red markings scattered around her neck and collarbone, proof of their dalliances a few nights prior.

"Anata…?" She inquired, her cheeks darkening from his intense gaze.

"These marks here…" He went on, his voice husky dipping his head down and towards her the crook of her throat. "They mark you as mine…."

"All mine…"

"Ahh! Anata!" Amagi mewled out when he began to nibble on her silken skin again, sending pleasurable shivering through her whole being. So much so that she closed her eyes to take in the sensations. Allowing herself to relax, slowly laying down on the couch. Her Commander still looming over her, the closeness of his body so inviting and so-

"Amagi?"

The matronly kitsune opened her eyes and sat up, suddenly finding herself laying on a bed. With a tired groan she sat up, her husband coming into view instantly. He walked slowly, almost wearily towards the bed before sitting down on the empty seat beside her. So close she could see the numerous wrinkles on his old face. His cheeks sunken and framed with greyed out hair.

Locks that were no different in color to the ones flowing down her shoulders, aging about as gracefully as her Commander. Who was smiling cheekily at her like so many times before.

"Were you thinking of that day again?" He began, leaning back and placing both hands on the sheets, using them as supports. "You know, the day you came into my office and…"

"Told you I was pregnant…" The old fox replied with a wistful laugh, her voice somewhat hoarse. "It feels so long ago, yet I still think about it many times, especially recently."

"I remember you being afraid I got you pregnant a second time. " He said with a chuckle. "For a person with a debilitating condition, you certainly had a lot of stamina-owh!"

He grunt when he felt something hit him in the shoulder, a quick glance revealed it to be his wife's bony knuckles. "Hmph I will have you know for the umpteenth time that my condition is nowhere near as severe. Not even right now…"

"Yeah yeah I know." He responded with another sigh. "The Banquet we held to announce everything was interesting though. No one really expected us to tie the knot so suddenly…"

"Ahaha I remember Akagi-nee fainting from seconds after we made the announcement, thankfully she was fine soon afterwards."

"Hmmm Akagi really was supportive of us ever since then. I remember how much she used to play with Amagi-chan back when she was just a little kit."

"And then there was that time Akagi-Nee gave her Nakajima seaplanes for her 7th she ended up bombing her own birthday cake by accident."

"Yeah… After you worked so hard on it too."

"Mm it's ok "Amagi gazed up at him with a fondful smile. "I don't mind spoiling my little kit...sometimes."

"You certainly did that during her graduation at the naval academy. Poor thing couldn't move from a food Coma for days."

"Well I remember you were all the more glad for it. Since you didn't want her to move out so soon."

"Well I still miss her, you know. She'll always be our little kit, despite being the Flagship of the 1st Torpedo Squadron. The fact that she comes back just for your Dangos is a testament to that. Even though she's still deployed at Kure right now."

"Hmm I miss her too and..." Her smile dropped and so did her gaze, now on the bed sheets covering her weary form. "It will be quite some time till we see her again."

"Amagi…"

"I don't know how, but I know…" She trailed off, her soft voice very somber. "That I don't have much long left…"

He turned to her with a sympathetic look, placing his hand over hers. "Everything ends, Amagi, but whatever happens we will see her again."

"And I've told you many times before…" His grip on her hand tightened. "I'll be with you… till the very end…"

Amagi stared at her husband's beaming visage for a couple of seconds before nodding to him and leaning in close, resting her head on his shoulder. "Thank you... Anata…"

In response he simply wrapped his arms around her, holding his wife close for a few intimate moments.

"I'm feeling tired right now…"

"Can you lay down with me…?"

Without another word the two of them slipped under the sheets, holding each other with whatever strength their weary bodies had remaining. Simply laying there in each other's arms, enjoying one another's presence for what time they still had left. Thoughts eventually drifted back to the countless moments they spent together.

All the good times, all the bad, all the times they laughed together, cried together, of the life they had together. Yet in the end all these years lead back to one night, the night the two of them had become one…

"Amagi…"

She looked up from where she rested her forehead against his chest, looking up to see him grinning lovingly at her.

"I love you…"

"Mphmm…" She smiled back at her husband, a cheeky, mischievous smile reminiscent of her younger days. "We've been together for more than half a century...yet you confess now of all times…"

"When I was a young lad I had no problems expressing it just fine."He went on, gently rubbing her back. "But now look at me… An old Bastard on the verge of death...All I can do now is just say it."

"I know, I know you old fool…" Amagi chided, yet she buried her face in his chest again, holding herself as close to him as possible. "And I love you too…

She closed her eyes, her grip only tightening around him. "I love you so, so much, my Shikikan…"

His smile only widened as he reached up to rub the back of her head, closing his eyes as well. "I know and I know we will always be together…Amagi…"

It was the last words spoken between them, before they fell asleep in each other's arms.

For the last time…

…

…

…

"Anata, it's time to wake up now."

"Huh…?"

He groaned out, eyes fluttering open from his deep slumber, now woken by the sweet voice that called him. Despite momentary disorientation, he realised that was lying on his side and that he wasn't in his bedroom anymore. Instead the former Commander found himself in a wide open field, endless waves of grass greeting him. Only the shade of a lone large tree shielded him from the bright shining sun among the boundless blue skies and white clouds...

The old man raised his hand, only to its wrinkled, stretchy exterior replaced with a healthy, youthful skin and the hard muscle beneath it. He even noticed the sleeves of his old naval uniform covering his arms, he looked down to see he was wearing it instead of his usual clothes. Moreover despite the blades of grass caressing his body.

He felt his head resting on something much more firm and soft. Something very familiar. He only had to roll over onto his back. Finding himself face to face with... her again

His wife, smiling so lovingly at him. The perfect features of her face returned to its youthful beauty and her long hair regained it's deep brown colour. The matronly kitsune was still dressed in her usual purple kimono, her many tails swaying in a slow rhythm as she tended to her husband. Who was laying his head on her lap, like many times before.

Suddenly he found himself filled with a deep sense of peace and contentment...

"Like you said it'll be a while before Amagi-chan reaches us…" She began, gently stroking this hair. "But we all have more time to ourselves at least…"

"Yeah…" He breathed out, giving her a knowing smile. "We have all the time in the world…"

With that he slowly raised himself up, shambling his up and burying his face into her clothed bosom. Amagi simply giggled melodically in response before locking her arms around her husband, pulling him into an intimate embrace.

"Hehe do you feel that needy dear?" Amagi cooed softly, her tails wrapping around him too. Covering him in a veritable blanket of floof as she rested her chin on his head. "But it's ok…"

She leaned back against the tree and closed her eyes, the blissful smile on her face widening as she threaded her fingers into his hair.

"We can stay like this as long as you want..."
