A Movie Before The Big Day
Again a few days had passed, now the couple had stayed at the…well I guess you could call it a mansion, there certainly were enough rooms and space to call it that. Yoko and Nakada tried to stay with each other as much as possible before the twins were born, the fox would usually have flashbacks of Nakada's memories, and would suddenly know one of her secrets and know how she did them. When Nakada wasn't training, Yoko let her do that alone, they mostly stayed in the bedroom, or the living room. But there were times when they would go to different places, but they would visit the music most often. Yoko seemed to have a knack with playing the guitar and sometimes he would sing as well, Nakada would always love that.
That's what they were doing now actually. Both of them were in the music room after they had had their breakfast. Yoko was strumming on the guitar as he sat on a stool, and Nakada was sitting right beside him, listening to him play. The fox played one last note on the instrument and stopped. He looked up at Nakada and saw she was smiling, "I still can't believe that you never knew how to play the guitar, and still don't."
Yoko smiled at her as continued to hold the guitar on his lap and smiled at her, "Well I'm telling the truth, every time I hold it, I seem to know how to use it, and know a song as well." He looked out at the balcony, where he had stood one night and had gotten attack by a creature.
"Didn't you sing a song the night I told you I wasn't going to trust you?" He looked up at Nakada, wondering how she knew that.
"…Yes, but that was a sad song, I highly doubt you'd want to hear it," he said as he stared at her.
She sighed, "I want to hear it Yoko, any song you sing or play is wonderful, you can always play a happy song after words."
Yoko sighed as he closed his eyes and remembered back to that night. His fingers began to play the first notes to that song, and he began to sing.
What is this pain I feel?
Will it ever stop?
It started just about when you left
Can you tell me why
I always see myself cry myself to sleep at night
Darling I need you by me
Darling I need you by me
Darling I need you by me so I can make it through the night
We had some bad times
And we had good times
We had some horrible times
And we had some wonderful times
There was a time when time didn't seem to matter
When you were by my side
Now I find myself looking at the clock
Wondering when you'll be home again
What is this pain I feel?
Will it ever stop?
It started just about when you left
Can you tell me why
I always see myself cry myself to sleep at night
Darling I need you by me
Darling I need you by me
Darling I need you by me so I can make it through the night
Darling I need you by my side…so that I can make through the night
'Guitar music'
Can't you see these tears I cry?
They are all for you
Showing you I need you by me
Showing you I need you with me
Showing you that…I love…you
'Guitar Music'
Now I know what this pain I feel is
Now I know it will never stop
I know why it happened when you left
You don't have to tell me why
I always see myself cry myself to sleep at night
Darling I need you by me
Darling I need you by me
Darling I need you by me so I can make it through the night
And now I know why
It is because I love…you
Yoko moved his fingers over the strings one more time then placed his hand over the strings to stop them from vibrating. He looked up and saw that Nakada was still smiling, but there were tears in her eyes that were threatening to fall down. Since she was beside him, he reached over and cupped her cheek, "I told you it was a sad song."
Nakada leaned against Yoko's hands and closed her eyes, letting a few tears drops fall, "I know, but I'm still glad you sang it." She opened her eyes; "It shows how much you do love me through that song."
Yoko smiled as he wiped the tears away from her face, "Then lets see if I can sing a happy love song for you," he said as he drew back his hand and started to think of something to sing. Soon, his fingers began to move over the guitar to a song that had a kind of happy exciting start, and he began to sing.
There's a woman in my heart
She's the only one I'll love
And she's the only one for me
Every time I look at her
I don't know what to say
My legs turn to jello
And I can't help but stutter
There's a woman in my heart
She's the only one I'll love
And she's the only one for me
Every time I try to talk to her
And tell her I love her
All that comes out is umm uh umm
Instead of I love you
There's a woman in my heart
She's the only one I'll love
And she's the only one for me
One of these days
I'll tell her how I feel
But all I can do sing it out loud
I sing out loud
I love you
I love you
I LOVE YOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!
Yoko quickly brushed his fingers over the strings of the guitar, making some happy notes, then stopped. Nakada smiled and laughed when she heard the song. Yoko looked up at her and smiled as he put the guitar down at its stand and sat there, looking at Nakada.
Nakada smiled as she looked at Yoko. The fox could clearly see love behind those tears of happiness, love that could only be for him. "That was wonderful Yoko," she said as she wiped her tears away and sniffled a little.
He smiled as he stood up and stood close to Nakada, he cupped her cheek in his hand, "I am very glad you like it." The fox lowered his head and kissed Nakada gently on the lips. When they broke apart, Nakada looked at him, than at the top of his head, "Umm, Yoko?"
"Hmm?"
"I was just wondering for a while, could…could I touch your ears? I promise I won't hurt them!"
Yoko stared down at Nakada with his wide, than he smiled and laughed a little. He covered his mouth to try and hold in his laughter as Nakada smiled as well. He looked down at her after he had gained some control over his laughter, "If you promise not to be too hard."
Yoko leaned forward a little so Nakada could reach his ears. The teenager, through her newly acquired white skin, began to blush a bright pink as she raised her hand to his ears and began to rub them. The fox instantly purred as he felt Nakada's fingers gently giving his ears a very pleasurable rub. The teenager couldn't help but to smile as she watched Yoko close his eyes, sigh and seem like he was in pure bliss. She had never seen him like that, and he seemed even more strained when he found out about…well…you know.
After a while, Nakada stopped rubbing the fox's ears. Yoko was a little disappointed that she had stopped, but he also tried to wake himself up from the wonderful experience. He looked at her and smiled, "That was wonderful, but I wonder if you would be able to do the same thing to my back?"
Nakada couldn't help but to giggle at this, "Well, let's go back to the bedroom and see what I can do about it."
They walked up to the bedroom and Nakada told Yoko to lie on his stomach on the bed. (I have seen pregnant woman, with the stomach, lay down on massage tables. So I highly doubt it would hurt the twins.) Yoko did this, "Okay, I am going to start off by turning into a small cat alright?"
Yoko looked at her for a second and only saw a grey cat with black stripes, "Okay, animal form, cat, I guess that makes sense." He turned back around laid the side of his head on top of his folded arms. He felt Nakada walk onto his back, up to his shoulders, and back down to the middle of his back. Yoko couldn't help but to smile as he felt her do this to him.
Then Nakada got off of his back and he began to feel hands on his shoulders, giving him a pleasing massage, "Where did you learn to be so gentle?" he asked.
She was surprised by this question and shrugged, "I guess I gained the skill as I grew up. I mean my mom was gentle to me when I wasn't bad, so I could help to pick it up as well." Yoko opened his eyes Nakada saw something there in his eyes when had spoken of her mother. She looked at him a little, "Yoko is there something wrong?" she asked.
He looked at her and smiled a little, "No, there is nothing wrong."
Nakada started to move the palms of her hands up and down his back and he smiled a little, "You are practically spoiling me you know that?" he asked as he laid his chin on his folded arms.
Nakada smiled, "Hey I just like to do this sort of thing. But it couldn't hurt if you loosened up a little, you're so tense."
Yoko smiled, "You always have to be on your guard in Makai," he simply said as he loosened up a little and Nakada continued the massage.
"Yes but this isn't Makai and I have to be careful if your stiff. I might end up hurting you more than help you."
Yoko opened his eyes and looked at the headboard of the bed and she saw that he was thinking. He moved his head so his face was on cheek and he turned his eyes so they were looking at her, "I guess it would be little compared to what I have done to others. What I am going through right now…this is little compared to the others that I hurt and killed."
Nakada looked at him and stopped the massage when he sat up. He looked at her and then looked at the ground, "Yoko…I will admit you probably have done horrible things in your life but that was in the past. You should be looking into the future and think if you can do anything about it." She looked at him and then they both started laughing, "I am so sorry but that sounded so corny I can't believe even I said that. And I have said corny things before."
Yoko looked at her and smiled, "No offence, but, yes that did sound corny, but you are right." Nakada looked at him, "I have caused so much pain, and enjoyed it. I mean, I am beginning to regret it but, well…you know by the sound of my heart beat." Yoko looked at Nakada, and he seemed to be looking at her in a funny way, "Nakada?"
"Yes?"
"How can you hear and feel my heart beat? A demon's heart doesn't give off a beat, so you can't feel it or hear it?"
Nakada stared at him for a while than she smiled, "Maybe to normal humans and demons, but to people like me and my friends, we can hear a heart beat, and feel a heart beat. All it takes is to have that someone alive, it doesn't matter if that person's heart is just there and doesn't beat."
Yoko stared at her for a second, than, like many times before, bent over in pain from another one of the twin's growth spurts. Nakada took her and Yoko's top clothes off while Yoko laid his body fully down on the bed. Nakada held Yoko close when she was done taking off the clothes. As soon as she stared to hold onto Yoko, she felt her energy being ripped from her like many times before. She held the fox close and bit her lips so she wouldn't be able to make a sound to indicate she was in pain.
When the growth spurt was over, they both stayed lying down on the bed, both exhausted from the loss of energy. Yoko quickly recovered from the spurt and looked at Nakada, she seemed to be rather tired. He pressed his hand to her forehead and saw that it was hot again, "Not another fever! This is the forth one!" Yoko sat up and set Nakada down under the blankets of the bed.
The teenager made a slight sound and opened her eyes to look at him, "Why do I have to be so weak?" she said as she looked up at him from squinted eyes.
Yoko stared at her with wide eyes as he gently pulled the bed blankets over Nakada's chest and up to her shoulders, "You, are far from weak," he said as he leaned over Nakada and stroked her hair, "You are one of the most strongest women I have ever seen. You have done things to me, made me feel things I never thought I would feel, you are also making me able to regret what I have done." He smiled, "And you have also, somehow, convinced me to keep the twins that are growing inside of me and hurting me every day, not to mention also causing me great discomfort, you are able to convince me to keep them alive."
Nakada smiled as she closed her eyes and started to purr when she felt Yoko stroke her ears, "Thank you for saying that Yoko," she opened her eyes, "But I really should start making lunch."
Yoko shook his head, "You rest here. I'll go downstairs to make lunch for the both of us." With that said, Yoko kissed her on top of her head and got off the bed taking his sweater with him as he went out of the room.
On his way to the stairs, Yoko put on the sweater. I guess, when I thought I wouldn't be to big a long time a go, I shouldn't have thought of that. Not even this baggy sweater can now conceal that I am huge. Yoko walked into the kitchen, and started to make something to eat for him and Nakada.
While he was cutting some vegetables up, he began to think for a second. This is the forth time Nakada has gotten a fever after one of the twins growth spurts. Is she even going to be even able to take care of them and have time for me as well? Okay, he somehow managed to forget about the dream so that means he also forgot about the part about Nakada's energy being drained as well. My guess is that if and when she asks for help from her friends, she would need to take that time to get some rest for herself. From what I can understand from these…visions of her memories, she hasn't fully learned about her powers. She can do so much now, and she still needs to learn so much more. What she has learned here in her free time might have helped her to pass her friends. But I highly doubt they have just been sitting around for the past couple of days like I have. I guess that, when we go back to our own world, I will have to start training and exercising to gain back what I have lost through my stay here…OWE!
Yoko closed one eye as his hand with the knife slipped and cut his finger. He looked at the small wound and saw a small amount of blood come from it, "You should be more careful Yoko."
He turned around and saw Nakada, with her top clothes on, looking at him with a small tired smile on her lips, "You should be in bed," he said as if he was her mother or father. Either one, kind of didn't sound good in his situation at the moment.
"That little nap was what I needed," she said as she walked up to him and took his hand to see that the cut was no longer there, "I guess you can heal quite fast when you have small wounds."
Yoko looked at her and saw that she was still quite drained, "Why don't you sit down? I'm almost done with lunch."
She looked at him and nodded, "If there is nothing I can do, but I hate feeling useless." She walked over to the table and sat down as one of the chairs.
Yoko smiled at her as she sat down on chair and walked over to her and leaned over the seat. He gave her a gentle kiss when he turned her head, "You are anything but useless."
