"Go wash her up." Krueger ordered as he walked past Garuru. Garuru nodded and carefully lifted Natsumi in his arms to carry her to the wash closet. Kruger kicked the small table away from the door and opened it to see everyone, as he expected, standing by the door eagerly trying to get through and see what was happening. "Aki go help your daughter."
Before Aki could think of what to say she cleared her head and ran out to the hall.
"Krueger, why are you here?" Fuyuki asked as he made room for Kruger to set Molioke on the couch.
"I was already keeping an eye out for anything strange and I came as soon as I saw the black disc above your house.
"The... the what?" Fuyuki asked.
"It's outside along with that stupid door." Krueger huffed. He snatched Fuyuki's notes from him and scanned them.
"Oh my gosh, what happened to your arms?" Koyuki sadly looked to Molioke.
Molioke still held her arms close to her. "Th-they locked my magic away. I don't know if I'll be able to get it back."
"They used some old blade, wasn't even the complete original but it was most likely something from when humans knew about the supernatural too long ago when they tried to eradicate it." Krueger explained as he dropped the papers to the table. "We're not going to have enough time for your army to show up."
"What why?" Momoka asked a little offended. She wanted to be helpful to Fuyuki but now she was being denied that opportunity.
"I'm going to explain this bluntly and don't take too long to process." Krueger glared at Fuyuki and Momoka. "Natsumi is carrying a child but just now in the hall they took that kid's spirit. When the stars are burnt out and ready to start a new life, Mo cleans it of it's past life and then puts it in a new body, an unborn. If it isn't put in a new body it will eventually crumble away and the body could die. We need to get it and Mo's powers back quickly so she can put it where it belongs. There's no time to wait for an army, we need to get in and out as soon as we can."
"Wait she's what?" Fuyuki was dazed thinking about Natsumi holding a baby.
"Holy crap dude." Taiki's eyes widened in wonder. "Monsters can have kids?"
"Imagine all you like Taiki but I think your chances are low since Kurse is a ghost." Momoka stated with a kind smile. "Also both male."
"Tch. Stupid kid we don't have time for this. Hurry up and grab everything we can use against them." Krueger cursed. "Mo, you're staying here. Don't fight me on that."
"I really wish I could help but I probably would be in the way if I came with." Molioke whimpered. Krueger patted her head gently.
"You're probably staying too kid." Krueger snickered.
"What? Come on I'm useful." Fuyuki debated weakly.
"Can you fight?" Krueger mocked.
"No." Fuyuki sighed as he continued gathering his dad's weapons into a couple bags.
Aki paused only once when she saw the blood and stained towels on the floor of the hall. It made her run faster up the stairs. She threw the door to the wash closet open to see Garuru helping Natsumi wash her legs. His shirt had blood soaking the front but he didn't seem to care. Natsumi was weeping softly. Aki placed a hand on Garuru's shoulder.
"It's ok I got this hun." Aki dismissed Garuru as she knelt down next to Natsumi. Garuru nodded and stepped out of the room unbuttoning his heavily stained shirt and cleaning his hands with it. He closed the door behind him.
"I'm so sorry mom." Natsumi's voice trembled.
"It's alright sweetie." Aki tried to smile for Natsumi.
"No it's not." Natsumi fought the urge to cry harder. "They took it. They took my- my..."
"Whatever it is we'll get through it ok?" Aki picked up a clean sponge and helped Natsumi out of her ruined skirt.
"I'm pregnant mom." Natsumi whispered.
Aki was frozen for a moment before smiling. "You really are in love with him then aren't you? I know you wouldn't let just anyone even have a chance to do that much."
"I couldn't protect it though." Natsumi forced herself to touch her stomach again. "I can't feel it."
"It was a surprise attack right? I think you might be in shock. You're thinking too much about the baby and with all this blood you're expecting the worst." Aki placed her own hand over Natsumi's stomach. "I've been pregnant twice and I can tell you that even though it seems so delicate and easy to lose, babies are more durable than you think. Here feel right there."
Natsumi moved her hand where Aki's was and focused. After minutes of nothing there was the softest movement she never thought she would feel again. Tears poured down her cheeks. "Oh my god."
"Little fella's not gonna give up yet. You shouldn't either if you want to be a good mom. K?" Aki winked.
"Thanks mom." Natsumi gave a shaky smile. She straightened up and wiped as many of her tears away as she could. She quickly washed and changed, finding new determination.
Downstairs, when Natsumi and Aki rejoined the group, they found Krueger muttering under his breath as Molioke watched over his shoulder at the papers he was scribbling on. Garuru was wearing a white tank top with a subtle blood stain on the front. He was already armed to the teeth with knives and grenades. Fuyuki, Momoka, and Koyuki watched him effortlessly strip and reassemble a sniper rifle.
"Um, aren't guns illegal?" Natsumi asked as she approached the wielding soldier.
"Hey sis. Are you doing ok?" Fuyuki inquired awkwardly shuffling his feet. "Krueger told us what happened.
"I think I'm ok for now." Natsumi replied. She glanced away for a second before returning to Garuru. "Anyway how did you get one of those?"
"I'm a Lieutenant, I have connections." Garuru answered clearly as he finished loading his rifle and slinging it onto his back. "Also when it comes to family, I find I stop caring so much about rules and regulations."
"That's cool." Natsumi gave a small grin before glancing at the tank top. "Sorry about your shirt by the way."
"I've seen much more blood before." Garuru straightened up and patted Natsumi's head. His voice lowered to a whisper. His eyes darting to hers and showing a distant look of sadness. "I've been through what you're afraid of right now. It didn't have anything to do with magic or monsters like yours but my wife and I lost our first child. There was blood everywhere and not just the floor or my shirt as the doctors did everything they could think of. Even my wife, a highly skilled medic couldn't help. I did everything I could then and I will do everything I can now. My point is don't lose hope. You still have a chance."
Natsumi thought hard about his words. They settled heavily on her heart. "Thanks Garuru. I'm going to do my best too."
