Chapter 32
Foamy vomit bubbled at the girl's mouth following a projectile spewing of the usual human contents of her stomach across her lap and onto Azusa himself. "Ecck!" Kou squealed as he bounced back and planted his feet directly into the pile she had just purged, his boots nearly causing him to slip in the muck. He grasped onto his brother's shoulder and then fell onto the ground on his behind, followed by a childish "oof!" and slam of his butt against the floor. No one had rushed to his aid so whining was uncalled for, he instead attempted to gather himself before groaning, "Now what's happening to M-Neko Chan? Look... ah, look! Look!" He pointed to the girl's limp legs that were hanging over the edge of the couch and though at first glance it wasn't noticeable past the disgust of vomit, the rest of the brother's quickly noticed the liquid that had erupted from between her legs and splashed to the floor. "UCK!" Kou scrambled back by scooting himself on the behind until he was well behind both Ruki and Yuma, who were stunned by the sight. "Shut up," Ruki said before dropping to his knees beside Azusa. The tension had vanished and though Azusa had turned to glare at him, Ruki pretended not to notice. "She's going into labor. Go get a towel for fucksake," he growled. Kou gazed up at his eldest brother with innocent eyes and then turned to Yuma, who hollered in a booming voice, "Get it!" before kneeling beside the other two.
"B-but it isn't time," Azusa sputtered cluelessly, "how... can this be?" He used the warm washcloth to clear the bubbling substance from Yui's lips as she attempted to sputter out words. He knew she wasn't truly there, for her eyes were rolling up into the back of her head and around again; her words were not words, but rather random sounds. "Stop asking questions and focus on what's in front of you," Ruki ordered. The explosion of Yui's state in front of him was enough for him to ignore all the pain within him and he instead focused solely on the girl in her last mortal moments. He hiked open her legs by the knee caps to expose a bloody mess that was once her womanhood. For the first time, Azusa released an audible gasp at the sight and prepared to cleanse her there as well with the wash cloth. He was grabbed by the wrist by Ruki, who huffed, "That's no use now. It's going to get messier."
The horror of watching Yui in such a manner only multiplied when she stopped moving at all. The only movement within her was the spawn inside of her that was tearing her apart from the inside and to Azusa's terror, childbirth was nothing that he expected. It was a subject that young boys were rarely spoken to about but he always assumed from media that the woman would push, the head would appear, followed by the rest of what looked like a wrinkly worm and somehow became a human baby. It would be painful, the mother would scream in agony, but the pain would be worth seeing what came out on the other side. But the mother in this case wasn't screaming. She was silent, not even a breath left her. Not until it began to breathe.
"My God," Yuma gushed as he tossed the towel forward to his brothers, who were hunched over the girl. He watched in disgust as her stomach was stretched out from the inside. It was nothing compared to what Ruki and Azusa were enduring, which was the sight of the half breed tearing through her womb. "That's the head," Ruki said sternly as he brought the towel into his arms and prepared to deliver the baby. "That's not the top of the head," Azusa said slowly. He was feeling light headed now. "It's biting her. It's... oh my g-," His words were cut short by a strong slap to the back of the head by Yuma himself. He was prepared to say 'get a grip' before collapsing onto his knees beside Azusa and watched along side him in horror. "Oh my god," He finished for Azusa. Ruki had dropped the towel onto his lap and laid his hands down on his sides, ultimately defeated by the sight he was now enduring fully.
Yui's slit was fully torn upward and through a rush of fresh crimson blood emerged the contorted face of the child who had inhabited her. Though she was not there, her body seemed to still be naturally pushing the baby along for it struggled for only minutes before beginning to slide out of her destroyed womb. Azusa could see flesh dangling from it's mouth and even spotted something he was not at all prepared for. Tiny fangs hanging from it's lips. The baby didn't cry nor scream, but instead opened it's innocent eyes and gazed up at the vampires in front of it. Ruki held the child awkwardly at first but then held it to his chest, allowing it to absorb his cool touch in which it seemed to cuddle up into. There was silence, aside from Azusa's labored breathing as he sulked to the side and covered his face. He was curled up at the feet of his lover and seemed to be whispering something to her, secrets that not even she could hear.
The atmosphere had finally started to become calm and now Kou was kneeling to Ruki's left side, and Yuma had squeezed himself in on the right where Azusa once had kneeled. Quietness had overtaken the room as Ruki slung the baby in one carressed arm and began cleaning it with a soft touch with the towel that had been brought all but too late. Azusa wouldn't allow himself to look up from the darkness his palms had shielded over his still horrified eyes as he nuzzled himself completely up to one of Yui's limp calves. As he cowered, the baby gazed up into the deep eyes of Ruki as he cleaned it. The flesh was still hanging from it's lips before Ruki wiped it away slowly with the cloth, earning himself a twitch of the lips from the child. It was abnormally small for a newborn yet seemed more lively than everybody in the room. "Well," the eldest brother finally said. "It's a boy."
"A boy," a gentle voice said. "Your senses were off... Azusa."
