Time For Some Info And A Fever

When Yoko woke up, he saw that Nakada was still sleeping in his arms, but her hands were no longer glowing. He took a deep breath of air and stretched as much as he could without disturbing the girl. He was so stiff with many kinks in his muscles. He looked back down at Nakada and smiled as he moved a stray hair from her face and continued to look at her. Then he noticed something he hadn't before he was still somewhat asleep. The person in his arms was not Nakada, but a tiger demon. The demon had the same hair colour as Nakada, but that was the only difference.

On the top of the demon's head were a pair of white striped tiger ears, and her face was white as well with two black stripes on either side of her cheek. Her arms were bare showing the skin was also pale and had black stripes along her arms as well. He soon noticed that the tiger demon was wearing the same clothes as Nakada and they were just as battered up. Something caught his eye beside the leg of the demon and saw a white and black striped tiger tail.

The demon sighed and stressed her legs out as she covered her mouth as she yawned. She looked up at Yoko and smiled at him, "Morning Yoko," she said as she snuggled closer to him. Yoko instantly stiffened and the demon looked at him puzzled, "What's the matter Yoko? You look like you've seen a ghost or something."

The tiger demon smiled and Yoko noticed that the demon in his arms sounded like Nakada, "Nakada?" he asked a little uncertain.

The demon smiled showing a pair of neat white fangs as she placed sharp-clawed hand on his chest, away from his heart, "Who else do you think it is Fox Boy?" the demon asked with a little chuckled.

Yoko relaxed a little as he started the creature proclaiming to be Nakada; "I guess I should start calling you Tiger instead of Kitty from now on."

Nakada looked at him slightly confused then had a shocked look on her face as she turned away from Yoko and looked down at the tail that was protruding from her tail bone. She cautiously touched it and held it in her hand, her ears twitching slightly and she slowly raised her hands to the top of her head and felt her ears. She then moved her hands in front of her face and examined them. She smiled, and looked back at him, "Remember back at the lake after you had taken my shackles and collar off?"

Yoko looked at her, than at the ceiling of the greenhouse and then back at her nodding, "You said something about transforming into a different form." Yoko looked back and Nakada in realization, "Is this what you were talking about?"

Nakada smiled as she went back to admiring her new form, "The team and I actually call them growth spurts. Now for a few more years, until we're eighteen, we will have these certain growth spurts."

Yoko hooked his index finger under the girl's chin, and turned her head towards him. She looked at him confused and all he did was stare back into her eyes. "I never really did get a good look at your eyes before," the fox said as he continued to hold Nakada's chin. The girl's eyes suddenly took on a startled look as Yoko continued to look at him. He smiled, "The beggin didn't even come close to copying your eye colour, your eyes are like priceless jewels." The kitsune began to smile as he wrapped his arms around Nakada, "Of course though, I think you are most definitely the most priceless jewel that I have ever caught."

Nakada just sat there stumped as she let Yoko holder. Then she smiled, her smile soon turned into laughter. Yoko let go of her to see why she was laughing and she instantly fell backwards with her back on the ground, laughing like there was no tomorrow. After a few minutes she stopped and wiped her tears from her eyes and looked at the dumb struck fox, "I don't mean to be rude, but that is the most corniest thing I have ever heard."

Yoko stared at her, and then he smiled himself and chuckled a little as well. Then, that chuckle turned into a gasp of pain as the two babies began to grow up again. He wrapped his arms around his stomach as Nakada quickly took off her top clothes. She quickly went over to him and took off his sweater, which was really hard, and held him close.

When the babies were done growing, Yoko held Nakada close as he tried to regain his breath. When he regained it, he noticed that Nakada was breathing rather hard as well. He looked down at her and saw that Nakada really was breathing quite hard, as if she had been running eighty miles an hour for two hours none stop. He raised a hand to her forehead; he instantly drew it back, she was burning up!

"Nakada!" Yoko said, unable to know what to do. He picked her up in his arms and ran to the bedroom.

When he got to the bedroom, he set the fevered girl on top of the covers of the bed and went to the bathroom. There was a sound of a faucet running and soon it was silent. Yoko walked into the bedroom and set a cold wet face cloth on top of Nakada's head.

Nakada was still breathing rather hard as she seemed to be in a fevered sleep. Yoko moved some hair away from her face and wondered what he could do to help bring down the fever. He brushed his hand through his hair and found something in it. When he looked at his hand, he saw that he had a tiny seed in-between his index finger and his thumb. His eyes went wide as he quickly thought up a plan and went down to the kitchen.

With Nakada in her dreams

Nakada was lying on a bed in a dark room that was filled with the colour black. The sun was up and Nakada looked like she was dead while she was on the bed. Death then came in to the room and sat on the bed beside her. In some stories, Death was a beautiful woman or a skeleton woman or a disfigured woman. In others it was a man that looked like he was wearing a blue mask with blue hair and black cloths. But the truth is there is more than one Death and the one that was on her bed was the beautiful death.

"It seems you got here on time Nakada," Death said to her, "A few more seconds and you wouldn't have made it," Death pressed to fingers to Nakada's neck and she wasn't surprised when she found that her skin was cold nor that there was no pulse. Nakada still had her cloak on, for she just fell on the bed when the sun had resin, "I know you can hear me even in your death sleep. I just want to tell you that you are allowed to go back to the Signs and tell them what you have done just like last time. I will allow you to wake up for only a few minutes to talk to you." Death put her hands over Nakada's eyes and they began to glow an icy blue colour.

When Death lifted her hands, Nakada took in a deep breath of air and woke up. She sat up and looked at Death "I don't think I could ever return to the Signs, Death," Nakada looked sad as she started to talk, "Yoko is done reading my diary, and, I don't know how the others will react when they find out that Caralama is my daughter and not April's. April will most definitely be shocked," a few tears fell from her eyes and Death gently whipped them away.

"But what about Yoko? I thought you loved him," Nakada looked up at Death and glared at her.

"I love him more than I would love any other man! But I don't know if he loves me!" Nakada's voice was uncontrollably cold and her breath could be seen as a white smoke as she talked. Death being used to the cold didn't shiver. Normal people would have died hearing Nakada speak like that.

The silver blue tinted haired girl began to grow pale, and her moon pendant began to lose its glow as Death began to speak, "Yoko does love you and so do many others. You can stay here as long as you like Nakada but for now you have to sleep. The sun is up and the spell I put on you to wake you up is wearing off. Sleep now and don't dream but be aware of your surroundings," Nakada fell onto the bed again and her eyes closed as she stopped breathing and her heart stopped beating and the glow her pendant gave off, faded.

No Dream

Nakada woke up to Yoko shaking her a little, looking a little worried. When he saw she was awake, he sighed and smiled as he put a glass of something on the bedside table and lifted her up so her head was against his shoulder. "Glad to see your awake," he began with a smile. He reached for the cloth on her head and took it off. He then placed his hand on top of her forehead. Nakada stared at him as she felt his cool hand on her burning head and wondered why she felt so weak and tired.

Yoko didn't look so pleased as he placed the back of his hand to both of Nakada's cheeks, "Your fever hasn't gone down at all." He reached for the glass he had put on the table and set it against her lips, "You should drink this, fast."

Nakada stared at him, then started to drink the greenish, purple liquid as fast as she could. She almost gagged on the liquid as she continued to drink the horrible stuff. It felt and tasted like she was drinking liquefied dirt as it slowly went down her throat. When Yoko took the glass away, she coughed and shook a little as she stuck out her tongue.

The fox couldn't help but smile and chuckle at her antics, "It may taste like it is going to kill you, but it actually a medicine to try and help bring your fever down and help you regain some of your energy."

Nakada looked at him with eyes that could make the strongest person in the world fall down to his knees. To Yoko it made him shiver and be thankful that she was still a little weak to do too much damage to him. "I don't like you right about now, I hope you realize that."

Yoko laughed a little as he set the glass on the bedside table again and stroked a few hairs away from the teenager's face. Nakada sighed and began to close her eyes as he began to speak, "I do realize that, and I am quite thankful that you are too weak right now to do too much to me."

Nakada smiled, "Just because I am weak right now, doesn't mean I can't hurt you." She opened her eyes to look at him, "It is only because of them that I won't do anything." With that said, she relaxed into Yoko's arms and went to sleep.

Yoko watched Nakada sleep in his arms. She looks so peaceful when she is asleep. You would never know of the troubles she faces when she's awake. Yoko's eyes widened when he felt one of the babies kick him, he placed his hand over his stomach by reflex. That was when he realized the he didn't have his sweater on. He looked at Nakada and saw that she didn't have her top clothes on as well. Yoko gulped, as he began to feel hot all of a sudden. He instantly looked away and thought. Bad Yoko, stay down. If your rape her, than she will never forgive you. He took a few calming breathes and went to the bureau drawers. He pulled out the top one and took out a bra. He went to the middle drawer and pulled that out to get a blue t-shirt. He went over to Nakada with the pieces of clothing and carefully started to dress her.

When the clothing was on her, the fox settled Nakada under the covers and walked to another bureau to get himself a sweater. When he had the sweater on, he went over to the couch and watched Nakada sleep. He instinctively wrapped his arms around his stomach and leaned back against the couch. He thought of random things until his mind came across the dream he had had during the night. He looked down at his stomach. Even though there were twins growing inside of him, and the few days he had been here with the twins having their growth spurts, if he wore a big sweater, or a baggy sweater, the bulge in his stomach would be barely noticeable.

He leaned his head back against the top of the couch and sighed as he looked at the ceiling. Were the two children I saw in my dream last night, really mine…no! Even though what they said does make sense, these…babies inside of me can't be my children. He sighed and closed his eyes for a second. When he opened them, he looked at Nakada and saw that she was still sleeping in the bed. Is her catching this sickness just a coincidence? Or is she really giving up some of her energy as well when the babies have their growth spurts? Giving away her energy may have made her body weak enough to not beable to fight off certain diseases. Yoko sighed as he bowed his head and closed his eyes. Why am I thinking like this? There is no way these kids are Nakada's and mine! She just got sick because she can. There is no other reason.

"Yoko?" The fox's ears instantly perked up at the sound of his name and looked to see Nakada sitting up and looking at him with a worried expression on her face. "Are you okay? You seem rather troubled."

Yoko smiled as he stood up and walked over to Nakada, "No more than usual Nakada." He placed his hand on top of Nakada's head as he sat down beside her and sighed, "Your fever seems to have broke at least."

Nakada smiled as well, "Whatever was in that stuff you gave me worked. I'm feeling much better now."

Yoko stared at Nakada with a smile still on his face, "That's good to hear."

The teenager nodded, "That also means, that I'm able to share with you what I know about myself, the team and our powers."

Yoko stared at her; "You can do that right now? But isn't it going to take a while for you to tell me all of that?"

The tiger demon looking girl smiled at him, showing off her neat, white, sharp fangs, "Well if I talked about it…yes. I even might forget a few things as well. But I know a way that I can show you all of that information, and still not tell you about your situation."

Yoko just stared at her, unable to comprehend what she was saying, and gave a logical, "How?"

Nakada continued to smile, "Trust me," was all she said. She gently placed her fingertips at Yoko's temples and brought his face to hers. Yoko obliged as he felt his forehead connect with Nakada's and they continued to stare into each other's eyes.

After a few seconds, nothing happened. All of a sudden, Yoko started to see flash backs of scenes of life he had never went through. There were brilliant flashes of scenes coming and going before his eyes so fast that, he couldn't see what was happening. Finally, after a couple of minutes Yoko and Nakada both passed out. Yoko was on top of Nakada.

When Yoko woke up, he found that he had somehow gotten into the bed with Nakada and was holding her close. The girl's head was over his heart and was holding onto his sweater tightly, as if she felt safe in his arms. Yoko moved back a bit, but still had a hold of Nakada, and looked down at the girl's sleeping face. She had a smile on her face as she snuggled closer to Yoko. He smiled and moved some of her hair that had fallen over her face.

He continued to smile until he realized that, he was starving! Yoko thought back to the last time he had eaten and realized, he had eaten anything since supper the other night. He looked at the clock and saw that it was past lunchtime. That would explain why I feel so hungry. Yoko seemed to remember how to make a dish of something he had never seen before or heard of, but he suddenly had a craving for it. He looked back at Nakada and sighed, not really wanting to leave the warm bed and the comfort. But I have to eat something soon. The dish I can make is a rather big one. Who knows, maybe there will be enough left for her.

With that he got out of the bed carefully, so as to not wake Nakada, and went downstairs to the kitchen. There he got all of the ingredients he needed to make what he wanted. He began to cook the course he wanted as if he had down it many times. While he was cooking, he couldn't help but to eat a few things that weren't really important, I mean he was really hungry.

As he just put what he had made in the oven to cook, Nakada came into the kitchen and looked at him. Yoko closed the door to the oven and set the timer. He looked at Nakada and smiled when he saw her, "I have no idea what I'm cooking. When I woke up, I realized I was starving and suddenly knew how to make this, and had a craving for it."

Nakada smiled as she leaned against the doorway with her arms crossed, "That is expected to happen, since I did share with you everything I know that I was allowed to. That would include recipes and maybe even a few memories. But it will take some time for the information to come up. You can dream it, certain things may trigger it, like your hunger, or it will come out on it's own."

Yoko sighed as he leaned against the counter beside the stove, "Well, I guess that makes it easier to some degree." The babies moving made him think of the dream again and he looked at Nakada, "Nakada," she looked at him. He sighed as he looked at her, "I was wondering, even though I told you I want nothing to do with them, these babies, is there one boy and one girl? Or are you not sure?"

Nakada stared at him, completely surprised, "Umm…yes. There is one girl and one boy, but why do you ask?"

Yoko looked down at the ground, "No reason, just wondering," after he said this, Yoko's left ear flickered. Suddenly, Yoko remembered something that wasn't his memory.

Flashback

It was the day before Nakada had begun to stick to Yoko. She and him were in the bedroom and she had placed an unconscious Yoko into the bed. Yoko saw it all happening through Nakada's eyes as she placed the blankets on top of the sleeping Yoko. When she was done she sighed and sat at the edge of the bed, beside the sleeping fox. How long am I going to keep this up? He heard a voice say in his head. He wondered where the voice was coming from and why it sounded like Nakada's when realized that it was her thoughts he was hearing.

Yoko watched as she moved some of his hair away from his face and caressed his face as well. I love him so much yet, I can't be with him because of his anger and because he intentionally hurts me. Why is it so hard for him to regret what he has done in the past? For some reason he seems to be always angry at something…why? Is it me? Did I do something wrong? I mean, I am keeping my distance away from him but…that is so I won't go unconscious again. But…the would explain why he hurts me. Or is he angry with the babies? They aren't born yet and he is angry with them? I guess that is understandable sense he is a man and he shouldn't really be going through this…but…it just seems a little unfair to blame them. If anything…he should blame me for not being there in time to stop the beggin or walking away before the girls and I left the camp that day. Nakada sighed a bit and Yoko could hardly believe what he was hearing.

She was actually blaming herself what he was going through? And she loves me? He thought as he watched Nakada continue to caress the sleeping fox's face.

I wonder. Nakada's thoughts began to say. She looked at Yoko and then placed her hand on top of his stomach. Yoko instantly saw something else. He saw two baby foetuses huddled together. He could barely make out that one was a boy and the other was a girl. It was after a few seconds that he realized he was seeing what the two babies inside him looked like at that time moment in time.

As quickly as the vision came, it left. To Yoko, Nakada seemed to be smiling as she kept her hand on his stomach. "I had thought that you two were a boy and a girl." Nakada lifted her hand from Yoko's stomach and started to caress Yoko's face again, "I wonder if he would notice."

What is she talking about? Yoko thought. Then he realized that Nakada was leaning toward the sleeping him. Her eyes closed and that was all Yoko saw.

End Flashback

"Yoko?" Yoko snapped out of his trance to look see that Nakada was looking at him. She seemed worried for some reason, "Are you okay? You seemed a little dazed."

The fox continued to stare at her, than he smiled, "No, I'm alright. I was just looking through one of your memories."

Nakada looked at him uncertain, "Which one?"

Yoko continued to smile as he walked over to her, "This one," he gently took her hand into one of his and placed it on top of his stomach. He then hooked his index finger under her chin, so she was looking up at him, and slowly leaned over. His lips were hovering over hers, "I don't blame you, and…I love you, too." With that, he closed the gap between their lips and gently kissed her.

Nakada's eyes went wide as she felt Yoko kiss her. Her eyes began to flutter closed as she felt the babies inside Yoko move around. She was sure she knew which memory he had seen now. She felt Yoko's other arm wrap around her waist and she just sank into the wonderful feeling.

"I have just saved you from Yoko Kurama." Nakada's eyes instantly opened when he heard Reado's voice. "Yoko would have used you as a toy for mating season. He always rapes ningen females and if they survive his heat through out the season, he gets Kuronue to kill the female humans he makes 'love' to." Nakada instantly broke away form Yoko and turned around with tears in her eyes as she covered her mouth with her hand.

"I'm sorry Nakada," she heard Yoko say behind her. "I didn't mean to hurt you if I did."

Nakada looked at Yoko and he saw the tears in her eyes and on her cheeks, "Yoko…I once believed you loved me. Than you turned around and hurt me. I can't keep going through things like that."

Yoko stared at her as he tried to figure out what to do. "Nakada, I…" he didn't know what to say. Everything seemed to stop, time seemed to stop, as if waiting for what he would say. Even the little ones inside of him stopped moving. Yoko stared at Nakada, trying to figure out what to say. But before anything could be done or said, the timer went of to show that what was cooking was done.

When the timer went off, that seemed to single everything that it was also time to start moving and working again. It also seemed to be a sign that Yoko didn't have the time anymore to give a good reason for Nakada to believe he really was in love with her.

Hey everyone I'm back! Listen, the reason why I wasnt' able to update for a while, well I have a good reason. My computer is connected to my dad's computer, and the only way I can get on the internet on my computeris through my dad's computer. Something was wrong with the roter(sp) so I couldn't get on the internet through my computer. But I also may not update this story again for another long while. My first stories seriously need some fixing so I am going to fix them up. Don't worry to people who are still reading them and this at the same time. I am still going to have them posted and not take them down, like I did the first time, but that was to try and get people to read them again as well as to fix some mistakes. So...yeah...don't worry about that.

Either than that...nothing else is new...but I would like some reviews if that is all right. I really am appreciating your reviews Shoulder Monkey, they are basically the main reason why I am still bothering putting my stories on the net and notjust type them on mycomputer without putting them on the net. THANK YOU!
