Happy Birthday Three Times
When Yoko woke up the next day he saw that Nakada was on the couch reading a book. She was dressed in some clean clothes and he smiled at her, "Morning Kitty," he said. She looked at him and smiled as he sat up from the bed.
"Morning Fox Boy," her smile disappeared as she closed her book. He looked at her, wondering why she seemed a little nervous. She looked up at him, "Do you know what day it is today?"
He looked at her and wondered why she said that. When he felt the twins move he knew what she was talking about. He wrapped his arms around his stomach as lowered his eyes and then looked at her, "If I know what you are talking about then, I do know what day it is."
Nakada placed the book she was reading beside her and looked at him, "How are we going to do this?"
"You mean how are we going to be together when I don't want any part of the life of these children?" She nodded and he sighed, "I don't know Nakada…but you never know what the future has in store for the…four of us."
There was silence for a little while that was broken by Nakada, "We are going to have to stay here." He looked at her and nodded, "I'll go downstairs the kitchen and bring up some breakfast.
When they had eaten a little, they sat apart from each other. Yoko was lying down on the bed and Nakada was sitting on the couch. The fox looked at Nakada letting his mind wonder and it wandered to what was he going to do after the twins were born. Maybe Nakada and I could have little meetings together when she isn't taking care of the twins. She could also get someone from the team to look after the kids like I was thinking yesterday. I mean she shouldn't be too tired in taking care of the twins. She also won't be alone in taking care of them, she has her friends to help her. Yoko looked back at Nakada and sighed. He sat up and walked over to the couch where she was sitting, obviously deep in thought.
When he sat beside her, she looked up at him startled, "Is there something wrong?" she asked.
He smiled a little and wrapped his arm around her and held her close, "No, there is nothing wrong Nakada," he placed his head on top of hers and continued to hold her close.
"Are…are you scared?" she asked.
He opened his eyes and sighed, "A little," his left ear flicked, "But, I'm sure you know what to do…my guess is that is what your were reading about before we came here to this place, and when you were hiding from me."
She looked at him and nodded her head, "Yes, I was reading about it. But that was the only way to see what the beggin had meant by 'Take care of them.' Those were her last words before she died and I didn't know what she was talking about. By the time I realised that not only was I reading about what happens to a male beggin but I was also reading about what happens to males who breed with female beggins, it was too late to do anything. You and I had kissed three times so there wasn't much I could do except take you here. When I was hiding from you, I trained, looked up on how to take care of babies and, yes, also about what to do and what will happen when it is time for twins to be born."
Yoko took a breath as they all waited. After awhile, Yoko began to smile as he thought of something and he also chuckled. Nakada looked at him confused and he turned his head to look at her, "All this time, I have wanted these kids out of me, and, now that this day has finally come…" Nakada stared at him as the fox stopped talking. Then she realized that Yoko was shaking a little. He drew back his arm, which had been around Nakada's shoulders, and wrapped his arms around himself as he continued to shake a little. The smile had left his face as he closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, "Now that it is the day that they are going to come out, I was lying when I said I was a little scared." He opened his eyes, looking at the floor as he leaned over, "The truth is, I…I haven't been this afraid in a long time."
Nakada stared at him as he continued to shake, surprised that Yoko had actually confessed this, and that he was really scared. She instantly scooted closer to the fox and wrapped her arms around him. Yoko leaned close to Nakada as he continued to shake. The girl had one arm wrapped around the fox's chest; the other arm was stroking his long, silver mane. "Hush, it is going to be all right. You aren't going to die, and I will be here for you through the whole thing. You don't have to worry Yoko." Nakada started to rub Yoko's ears to try and calm him down, "I will always be here for you when you need me."
Yoko stopped shaking when he felt Nakada rubbing his ears. He closed his eyes as he sighed and leaned against Nakada, feeling a lot calmer and fell asleep.
Dream Yoko's Pov
I seemed to wake up from a dream, with an even deeper hatred for something called the Dark Signs than I thought I could have for anyone or any thing. My head moved without my command and I looked around and saw that I was in a room. There were shackles on my ankles and my wrists, forcing me to stand up. I sighed and looked down at the ground closing my eyes, another thing my body did without my consent. It seemed that I was no longer in control of my body. Then I heard the door open and "Hello Yoko I see your awake," My body shuddered as I heard her voice and then she came into view. A woman, with long black hair and icy black eyes, she seemed familiar. She was smirking, "Still thinking about her and them? Well don't you think that if they really did care about you, they would have come for you by now? It has been three weeks since my messenger stole you form the mansion. Why don't you just give it up? They don't care about you but I…"
I started to cough hard and uncontrollably. The woman was beside me instantly, rubbing the front of my throat to my chest in an up and down motion. I felt so sick as she whispered meaningless words to me and kept on rubbing my throat and chest. Then she started rubbing my stomach and pressed a canteen of water to my mouth, trying to make me drink the water in it. I knew she had drugged it and strongly. The smell was so strong it made me gag as she kept on trying to press the canteen to my lips while I kept on turning my head, or my body did anyway, so she wouldn't be able to. For some reason though I knew she was going to do something to make me drink it but I didn't know how.
Finally she stopped and I looked at her as she smiled at me. Before I could do anything she punched me in the stomach and grabbed my hair and forced my head up with the same hand and taking advantage of my mouth being open, she forced the water down my throat. I choked on the water while trying to gain control of my body as it kept trying to spit out the liquid and coughing some of it back up. Finally, my body seemed to give out and couldn't resist anymore as she kept on forcing the drugged water down my throat. Then I felt a sharp pain in my stomach like a thousand needles were being jabbed in it. I felt the pain go through out my body and I leaned forward as far I could. The woman smiled at the pain I was in and kept on forcing me to drink the drugged water.
The pain was so horrible that I thought I would go insane and I began to think why Nakada wasn't here to help me, to be with me like she promised she would. I also began to worry about the twins for some reason, I didn't know why. Was the liquid hurting them as well? But then, somehow through the pain, I noticed that there was no movement in my stomach at all. Had they been killed? But then I also noticed that I was slimmer than I should have been.
That was my last thought as pain shot from my torso and through out my body. When the canteen was empty she took it away from my mouth and took out the keys for my shackles and unlocked them. I kneeled on the ground wrapping my arms around my stomach as I just felt nothing but pain. She "helped" me to the bed and waited for the pain to stop. I could barely move as the pain continued. Every movement I made just brought more pain and inside my head I was yelling with pain, but my body refused to make a sound.
Then, it stopped all together, but my body wouldn't move anymore. All I could do was watch helplessly as the blacked haired woman crawled into the bed with me and covered me up with the covers. This had happened to me many times before, and I didn't want in to happen again. I tried with all of my might to move my body, but it wouldn't listen to me anymore as it just stayed still. The woman began to lower her head to my face and began to kiss me fully on the lips and this time my body couldn't stop her as she entered my mouth and explored it.
It was then that I realized, that there must have been some kind of paralysing drug in the liquid she had given to me. I could feel her taking off my clothes as she began to lower her decent and hissed for some reason. She didn't seem pleased with something she had found. When all of my clothes were all off, she smiled at what she saw and I hated the way she was smiling. I hated it even more when I noticed that she was taking her clothes off as well and my body took control over the only thing it could. It closed my eyes. I felt her bare skin against my own and I felt like I was going got be sick.
The woman laid herself on top of me, but didn't crush me as she started to rape me. One of her legs was in between my own as her hands laid on my chest and she continued to lick and kiss all over my face. My body shuddered as I felt one of her hands go down farther than it should have, and started to hold me. She chuckled as she felt me shudder under her, and heard me take in an intake of breath. She began to stroke me, and rub me as she worked her mouth down to my chest.
She kissed most of my chest as her other hand went up to my ears and began to scratch them. I was beginning to wonder if it really made a difference if my eyes were closed or not. The way she touched my ears, it wasn't as gentle as Nakada's, it was hard, and it hurt.
Her hand began to move down from my head as she went down as well, and her mouth began to move down farther. My body held my breath as I knew and it knew what was going to happen next. She placed her hands on either side of my legs, as she positioned herself in between them. This woman somehow gave me the impression of a viper just about to strike.
I could feel her eyes on me; I just hope my body wouldn't decide to open my eyes. My body gave out a gasp as I felt the woman put me inside of her mouth and started to suck. Her teeth touched me at times as she continued what she was doing, until my body finally gave away into her mouth. I could her chuckle as she got what she wanted and I could feel the vibrations from her mouth.
She finally stopped, and with a harsh rub to my ear she started to dress herself and than me. I still had my eyes completely closed, trying to forget and ignore the way my body was feeling after the treatment she had put me through. Then she "helped" me back to my shackles. That was when my eyes finally opened, and as she looked at me, she smiled.
My body seemed to try and say something, showing that the paralysing drug was wearing off, "What was that Yoko? I didn't catch that," the woman grinned evilly.
I looked at her straight in the eye, glaring at her so hard, that the woman seemed afraid for a second. But the fear was instantly gone, "Nakada and the others will make sure you rot in hell," I whispered dangerously and all she did was smile.
"Your probably right, but they are going to have to find us first now wont they? Until then, I will keep having my little fun, and when I'm done with you, your favourite old, blind, partner Yomi wants to have his fun with you. I promised him that after two weeks of this I could let him have you. So that means this is going to happen to you for sixteen more days and then you are all Yomi's and Shura's. Just like the Nakada's vision showed. But that is when you can at least get a break from being shackled to the wall. Of course that depends on how your new cellmates will treat you. They don't exactly like demons that well," and with that the woman left, laughing all the way out, leaving me in my pitiful state.
End Dream Pov
Normal Pov
Yoko instantly woke up from his dream and jumped back from Nakada, still thinking he was back at the cell. "Yoko," he snapped his head to the source of the voice. He saw Nakada, standing there beside the couch, looking worriedly at him, "What's the matter? Did you have a bad dream?" Before he could say or think of anything he gripped his stomach and kneeled to the ground, closing his eyes tightly.
Nakada instantly went to him and held him up. She helped him over to the bed and took his shirt off, "Yoko you have to remain calm…please."
He looked at her as she began to take her shirt off and he looked up at the ceiling, "This isn't a dream? Am I really here?" he asked.
She looked at him as she stopped reaching for her bra hooks, "Yoko…this is no dream." She moved over to him and placed his head onto her lap. He is only going through contractions right now. I don't have to hold him while being topless right at this second.
Yoko looked at her as she stroked his mane and he breathed a little easier as the pain stopped for a second. He sighed as he closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around himself and shivered. He could still feel the woman's skin, lips and tongue on his skin. Nakada continued to stroke his mane, then she began to gently scratch behind his ears, "What did you dream about Yoko?"
Yoko opened his eyes and looked at her, "I dreamt…that I was being raped by a girl with long hair and black eyes. She forced me to drink something, and then my whole body began to hurt. I tried to move, or do something, but…my body wouldn't listen to me, and seemed to have a mind of it's own. Then, neither my body nor I could move at all. The woman took me to a bed and raped me there."
She looked at him and stroked away some hairs that were sticking to his face due to the beads of sweat that were rolling down his face. She wiped the hair and sweat away from is face, "Don't worry Yoko, that was just a dream. You're safe now," she smiled, "Though, I think your circumstances could be a bit better." Yoko looked at her and couldn't help but to laugh at the truth in her words. He grimaced again as he rolled onto his side and wrapped his arms around his stomach as another contraction came and went.
Nakada covered Yoko with the blankets of the bed and gently turned him around so he could face her, his head was still on her lap. Yoko's eyes were closed as he tried to regain his breath and calmed down. He opened her eyes and she saw pain and fear in them. "You have to stay clam Yoko," she said as she reached out above Yoko and took hold of a facecloth. She started to dab it on his face, "If you don't, then it will hurt more than it should."
Yoko grimaced, trying to fight the pain despite what she had said. She moved her hand to his cheek and lowered her face, "Maybe this will help." She lowered her head all the way and touched his lips with her own. For a second the fox didn't do anything, but he slowly raised his hand to her head and pressed her down, closing his eyes in the process. While his eyes were closed Nakada took her bra off and then gently moved to his side, under the covers, so she could hold him close, wrapping her arms around him.
They broke for air and he smiled as he held her close, laying his head on her shoulder, "Thank you."
Nakada stroked his silver mane of hair and laid her ear on his shoulder, "You needed it."
A few hours later of pain, and quite a few pretty words from Yoko, Nakada spoke again, "What is going to happen next will hurt a lot, I won't lie to you, but it will only last for a few seconds and they will be out. But I am going to have to give you some of my energy so you won't be too weak," Yoko nodded and held Nakada as she held him close as well, wrapping her arms around his torso.
Yoko closed his eyes and waited for anything. After a while nothing happened as he held Nakada close, still remaining calm somehow. Then he clenched his teeth together and closed his eyes, tightly as a new kind of pain washed over him. It was like it had been in his dream, and he yelled out in pain. There was a flash of light and he felt like his stomach was opening, but yet not, and something was coming out of him. He and Nakada both backed away from each other a little, and the pain Yoko was just feeling went away instantly and he laid his head on Nakada's shoulder completely exhausted, sweat running down his face. But he could feel his energy rising and he began to get stronger but then the energy stopped coming. He knew Nakada had given him some of her energy but he still ended up passing out, hearing the sound of crying.
Nakada let go of Yoko when she as satisfied that she had pushed him into a far enough sleep. She looked in between them and saw two, red, crying, babies. The red was blood that had come with them. Nakada gently, somehow, picked them both up, trying to sooth them a little. The babies stopped crying and looked at her as they opened their eyes. Nakada gently turned around so that the babies could see the sleeping fox, "That's your daddy little ones." Nakada went into Yoko's mind and found what she was looking for. She brought the tiny babies close to her and held them close as she got off the bed and turned around. She closed her eyes, concentrated on something and all of the blood was gone, along with the placenta that Nakada had previously detached from the babies earlier.
Nakada smiled and looked at the babies in her arms, "Your name will be Dianna," she said to the baby girl, "And yours will be Calan," she said to the baby boy. The babies gave that silly laugh babies' have and tried to reach for her. She dodged the little hands and smiled, "I'm going to have to clean you two up and dress you before your daddy wakes up."
When Nakada was done cleaning and dressing the twins, (descriptions will be done later. All I will tell you is that the babies are just a smidge smaller than Nakada's arm. Finger tips to elbow to the baby's heads and toes,) Nakada went over to two cribs that had appeared and put the babies into each one. Then she went to her hairclip-bag and took out a piece of paper. Her eyes widened as she looked at it with babies in their cribs, "Dianna, Calan…you two are born on the same day I was. November 28th only you were born at nine-thirty. Two pieces of paper appeared in front of Nakada and she stared at it, a little startled.
She looked at it closely and saw that it was a birth certificate with everything filled out except the names of the father and mother of both of her children. She thought this was familiar as she said something, " Mother of Dianna…Bara…Kurama…Nakada Alene Bates," it was filled out. She continued, "Father of Dianna Bara Kurama…Yoko Kurama." That was filled out as well and it appeared on a card and both went into a pouch of the bag where they wouldn't disappear. She then looked at the other birth certificate and said, "Mother of Calan Kitsune Kurama, Nakada Alene Bates," that was filled out, "Father of Calan Kitsune Kurama, Yoko Kurama," that was filled out as well.
Nakada looked at the sleeping babies and smiled as she held onto each of their little hands. She sighed as her smile disappeared and she reached into her bag to pull out a berry. The berry was blue and had silver stripes around it. Nakada stared at it for a while. The book I was reading before Yoko woke up said that if a eat this; I will be able to…breast-feed the twins. She looked at the twins as they slept. They can't survive without their mother's milk. Because they are sign children, the only milk they can have to survive is from their mother. If they don't have the milk that they need within five days, than they will die. Not even the bag can make the kind of milk they need. Nakada looked at her little ones again and smiled as they moved a little in their sleep.
She looked once again at the berry in her hand and sighed as opened her mouth and ate the berry. After she swallowed, she instantly began to feel dizzy and fell asleep to the floor.
When she woke up, she heard Dianna crying a little. Nakada, felt like the bra she was wearing was tight around her chest as she got up and went over to Dianna and picked her up to try and calm her down. She saw that Dianna was sucking on the blanket she was in and Nakada remembered what had happened. She quickly, and gently, placed Dianna back into her crib and took off her top clothes. She then held Dianna and…well…you know. As she fed Dianna, she levitated a blanket around her so she and Dianna would have some privacy.
When Dianna had been fed and burped Nakada placed her back into the crib with a little white-laced curtain top. Dianna smiled at Nakada and raised her hands up to her and she took the tiny hands in her own. Dianna soon fell asleep back asleep and Nakada went Calan who was starting to wake up and did the same treatment to him. (My guess Calan wasn't complaining much!) After Nakada had put the little one back into bed, she took a quick, but relaxing, bath.
When Yoko woke up he felt different. He laid his hand on his stomach, on reflex, and he smiled when he found out why. He was his own person again, without anything growing inside him, kicking him, eating what he ate or anything of that matter. He closed his eyes sighing as he continued to smile. Then noticed something else was missing. He opened his eyes and saw that Nakada was nowhere to be found. He sat up and saw two cribs with Nakada sitting in between them looking inside.
The fox demon stood up and stared at her, "Is it over Nakada?"
The teenager looked up at Yoko and smiled, "Yes Yoko, it is over. The twins are out of you, and all three of you are quite healthy."
He looked at her and suddenly heard a baby cry coming from one the carriages and he stared at it as Nakada crouched down a little and hushed what was in side. Yoko watched as Nakada smiled into the crib and the crying sound began to lower. Yoko watched Nakada hush and whisper gently to what was in the crib and had a good guess of what it was and what was in the other crib as well. "Is…is that one of the babies Nakada?"
She looked up at him and nodded with a smile, "Yes it is Yoko, they are both…" she stopped and looked down with a sad face, remembering he didn't want anything to do with or know anything about his children. He already knew one was a girl and one was a boy, she doubted he would want to know that they were beautiful children.
"They are both what, Nakada? You can tell me if you want…I won't get angry as long as you tell me the truth, even if it is about them."
She looked up at him and then back at the beautiful babies in each crib. Both of them were smiling and playing with her fingers, as she had one hand in each crib. She looked back at him and smiled again, "They are both beautiful babies," she said with confidence and Yoko sat down. He wanted to see them and know that they truly were beautiful with his own eyes, but he looked away as he closed his eyes.
Why is this so hard? I should be able to not think about them…I shouldn't have let her tell me they are beautiful children.
Nakada stared at Yoko and sighed as she continued looking at the babies. Maybe I should have said you were ugly babies my little ones. Nakada stroked Calan's face and the baby smiled. But he told me to tell him the truth, and that is what I did.
Calan looked like he was about to cry, as if he had heard her thoughts and didn't like what he heard. Nakada picked him up as he began to cry. Yoko looked at them when he heard his child cry, "Is something wrong with…it?" he asked feeling almost ashamed that he didn't know which child she was holding.
Nakada looked at him; "I doubt there is anything seriously wrong with him. He might just have some gas." The teenager raised the child to her shoulder and began to pat and rub the little baby's back. A burp came from the bundle and there was no longer any crying, but giggling.
Yoko stood up and walked to the door, not looking at Nakada, but knowing she was holding the child close to her so he couldn't see it. He stopped at the door with his hand on the knob, "You don't have to be around me anymore Nakada," he said, remembering the little deal he had made with her in what seemed like a long time ago. He opened the door and closed it behind him.
Yoko still had his right hand on the knob as he closed his eyes and lowered his head. I have to keep away from those children. Who knows what could happen if I actually loved them and started to treat them like my own? They came from me and I already made a point that I don't want to know anything about them. They aren't even mine. Yoko thought as he walked past the music room and a stray thought wondered into his mind. I wish they were mine though.
Nakada looked at the door Yoko had walked out of and then looked at her son. She sighed and held the baby in her arms, "Don't worry little one," she said holding Calan in her arms close to her, "I will find a way for him to fall in love with you, both of you. Now that you are no longer inside him then I can tell him everything that he wants to know. But that might take some time." Calan snuggled close to her mother and began to fall asleep as Dianna fell asleep as well.
Yoko sat in the living room on the couch with his arms on the top of the couch and his head pointed to the ceiling with his eyes closed. He knew something was missing in this picture and he knew what that something was. The babies were no longer inside him…or with him. He shook his head and placed his hands of his face. I have got to stop thinking like this. The babies are with Nakada and not with me and that is how it is supposed to be.
'They are both beautiful babies.'
Yoko looked around and saw that Nakada was nowhere in sight and sighed. I wonder if she was telling the truth…no I can't risk it. Then he remembered something.
Flash Back
The boy speaking again brought Yoko out of his thoughts, "What we are is not that hard to explain really. Since you are a fox demon and mommy is a human, we are half demon and half human. Every time we need to take energy from you, we also have to take energy from mommy as well, in equal amounts. This, as you already know or are figuring out, is why you and mommy need to hold each other closely with your tops naked so we can get energy from both you and mommy."
End Flash Back
Since you are a fox demon and mommy is a human, we are half demon and half human. Yoko remembered the dream for a second and thought to him-self as he set his back against the couch and looked at the ceiling. Then a smile spread across his face as he closed his eyes. I…I have a son and a daughter? He opened his eyes and continued to look at the ceiling as he remembered what Nakada said. I have a beautiful daughter and a handsome son. As Yoko closed his eyes again in peace, a stray thought just had to move right into his mind and stay there. He opened his eyes and sat up looking at the wall in front of him. Those babies aren't mine at all. They're the beggin's, Sara's, daughter and son, not Nakada's and mine. He sat back in the couch and looked at the ceiling once again. His eyes were blank, and showed no emotion as he felt the joy that was once in his heart disappear into nothing.
The phone suddenly rang and he jumped, still not used to the sound after hearing it a few times. Nakada ran down the stairs without either of the babies and picked up the phone in the kitchen. He looked at the kitchen door. I wonder where the babies are…I doubt she would leave them alone.
When Nakada came back in he saw that she was carrying what looked like a little portable phone. Only this one was white and a bit thicker than a normal phone and smaller as well. She saw him and went into the living room with him. She sat on the couch and looked at him, "That was the gang," she began and he nodded. "I told them to tell a lie to the rest of your band that didn't know what is going on here. The lie was you had gotten separated from the band and I went to find you. When I found you we went back to meet up with the band but we ran into some demons that had the babies. They saw you and went to attack you after they had hidden the babies. You killed them and I saw where they had hid the twins. You didn't want to keep them but I did and we got into a physical fight. I ended up winning so now you don't want to know anything about the baby because you lost. While we were heading back to the group a mirror appeared in front of us and sucked us in. While we were here you contracted some kind of illness and it might have been contagious so we stayed here. They are also going to be here soon so we can start back on the trail to your hideout."
Yoko looked at her and went through the lie to see if there were any flaws but there didn't seem to be. He looked at her, "Why don't you get sick instead of me?"
She smiled, "Because you weren't going to take care of the twins since you wouldn't even look at them."
He looked at her and then down at the floor with his head in his hands. That's right…I…hate…those…children. He looked up from his hands and looked at the wall across the room. Those children are creatures that should never be in my presence and are the most ugly things that the world has ever known. Nakada probably said they are beautiful because she wants me to love them. Yoko began to picture the little baby girl and boy as horrible and disfigured children. He smiled at that, thinking that was what the twins looked like.
He began to feel a little better about the twins not being his children, but before anything could be done, the sound of a crying baby emitted from the little white phone. Nakada looked at it and ran upstairs and Yoko watched her go, knowing that it was a baby, or both of the babies, crying. When he heard her come downstairs he looked at saw that she was carrying the babies with her in one of those carriers that people have on to hold two babies against their chest, (it was showed near the beginning of Cheaper by The Dozen,) and he immediately turned his head. He heard the door to the kitchen open and close so he knew that the babies and her were in the kitchen.
A few minutes later Nakada came from the kitchen and looked at the fox, "Yoko," he looked at her and saw she wasn't carrying the babies, "If you want something to eat you can come in here. The babies are in a crib much like the ones upstairs, so you won't be able to see them." He got up and walked over to Nakada and went through the door. He saw some food on the table and for once he didn't feel sick as he looked at it.
Nakada took her spot at a table with a dish of food on it and he took his. The air around the place was very uncomfortable as they ate. Nakada broke the silence when she had emptied her mouth of food, "Yoko…there are still something things I need to tell you before everyone gets here." He looked at her and nodded, "Umm…well I guess should tell you that your body has not yet recovered fully from the twins being inside you. The womb that was implanted inside you when the eggs were implanted inside you as well is still there and in a few weeks it will start to break down. It will be painful, but it is supposedly supposed to be better than when the twins were having their growth spurts. The thing is, the pains could last up to an hour. After the womb has broken down it is used as energy for your body."
Yoko looked at her and thought over what she was saying as he slowly chewed his food looking to the side, but his face still looking at her. He swallowed after what seemed like hours in just a few seconds and looked at her, still looking like he was thinking. He blinked and took a breath, "How long will it take for the womb to be fully broken down?"
She looked at him and looked up at the ceiling, trying to remember what she read, "I think it should take at least three months, unless it was damaged in some way." She looked at him, "Then it would be longer and probably a little more painful."
He sighed as he put his fork down on his empty plate and thought everything over as he stared at his empty plate. He brought a hand his eyes and rubbed them with his ring finger and thumb; a little tired from everything that was happening. He looked at her and smiled a little, "Thank you for telling me this," he sat up and put his dishes in the sink and a cry emitted from one of the cradles and Nakada went over to the noisy cradle and carefully picked up the baby to calm it down. She made sure that Yoko couldn't see his daughter as well and he noticed this with a smirk on his lips as he left the kitchen. That child must truly be ugly if she is so careful with concealing it.
As Nakada moved to the living room with the twins, the doorbell rang and Yoko went to answer it, and saw it was the whole team, "Well I guess the whole team became demon look a likes," he said with a smile as he let everyone in, "Nakada and the twins are in the living room," he said and the team rushed into the living room leaving the band there looking confused except for Kuronue. Yoko smiled and turned to Kuronue, "You didn't tell them about the babies Nakada and I found back in the Makia forest did you?"
Kuronue looked at Yoko, "No I didn't, it slipped my mind and the teams as well." Yoko smiled and walked towards the kitchen with Kuronue following him, wandering why he was going there. When they were in the kitchen Kuronue looked at Yoko sitting down at the table, laying his head in his hands. In the living room they heard little squeals from the girls in the living room showing that they had just seen little Dianna and Calan. Kuronue smiled, but as soon as he looked at Yoko, the smile left his face.
Yoko's hands were balled up into fists, clutching his hair during the process. Kuronue looked at his friend then at the door that led out into the hallway and went into the kitchen. The bat demon had somewhat of a conclusion of what was happening. He walked over to his friend to test his theory, "So…did you see them yet?"
Yoko looked up at him with a powerful glare, "Why would I want to see an ugly creature like the ones across the hall?"
Kuronue sighed as he scratched the back of his head and closed his eyes, "By the sounds of the girls, it sounds like they are pretty cute."
"They were probably screaming because they are ugly, not cute," the fox argued pointlessly. Suddenly he heard the girls in the living room saying how cute the twins were and he turned around in his chair to see Kuronue with the door open. He glared at Kuronue and he instantly closed the door, "Please Kuronue," Yoko said turning around in his chair. His head was down making his hair cover his face, arms at his side, and his back against the back of the chair. He took a breath as he spoke again, not looking at Kuronue, "Don't make it any harder than it already is. I keep wanting the twins to be mine but…I have to face facts. They aren't mine, and the only way I can make it easier is if I think they are ugly."
Kuronue looked at Yoko with a shocked face, "You mean you haven't asked Nakada yet who the twins belong to?"
"I know who they belongs to Kuronue," Yoko's voice was rising, "They are the beggin's son and daughter…not mine…not Nakada's…no ones'…but the beggin's," Yoko whispered the last part out, feeling like his heart was being torn to shreds.
Before Kuronue could interject, Jennah burst through the door with a smile on her face, "Hey you," she said as she grabbed Kuronue's arm, "I was wondering where you were. Come on, you have to see the babies."
Kuronue smiled at Jennah but looked up at Yoko who was looking at him with a smile, "Gone on." Kuronue looked at him and nodded as he walked out the door. When he was gone Yoko turned around with his back against the chair as he looked up at the ceiling.
In the living room
"How do we get back?" asked Doran, an eagle demon.
Rebekah spoke up, "There is a kind of mirror around here that can easily get us back into Makia. It should be in the greenhouse."
"All right but…now I know that this doesn't mean anything and has no point but what happened here and why weren't any of you with us?" Doran asked.
"Yoko was sick and I helped him recover as well as make sure the twins were far from him as well."
"That is another question I want to talk about," he asked looking at the twins who were still in Nakada's arms and she held them close protectively, "Where did you get the kids anyway? And where did you wonder off to?"
Nakada was about to talk when Yoko appeared, "I had my mind on some things and I didn't watch where everyone was going and wondered off from the group. When I noticed that I was gone from the group I began to call out. Nakada heard me and we started traveling back. Along the way, we came across some demons and they had the twins. I thought they might have had something good to steal and went over to them. When I got close, they started to attack me and I killed them. The twins were hidden behind a tree and Nakada heard them crying and took them out of the hole they were hidden in. Nakada wanted to keep them and I objected to it, saying we didn't have enough time. She settled the babies on the ground and I thought she was going to do as I said but she started to attack me and wouldn't let up until I said we could keep them. The rest is history, we some how ended up here and I got sick some how."
"You refer to the babies as if you don't know the names you have chosen for them." Doran continued.
Yoko simply answered, "I don't know and I don't wish to know their names. I don't want to know what they look like or anything that connects to them. It is still embarrassing that Nakada beat me, and those children would be a show of it. The only thing I know about the babies is, one is a girl and one is a boy."
Doran looked at him and smirked, "So the Great Yoko Kurama, King of Thieves was beaten by a human girl in fight he could have won?" he said with the smirk still on his lips.
Nakada gave the twins to Jennah and April s looked at Doran. Her ice blue eyes no longer holding warmth, but were as cold as ice. She began to speak and Doran shivered under the coldness of her voice, "If you want a fight then you take it up with me."
"My fight isn't with you," he said glaring at her.
"If you want to see how easily I beat him and/or how he could have lost, then it is with me," she said even more coldly and he began to shiver again his lips instantly becoming blue and his skin pale.
"Fine but don't use that voice," Nakada looked at him coldly and nodded.
They went to the bottom of the staircase where Yoko had seen Nakada fight off the monsters, "Please be careful," Yoko told Nakada and she smiled at him and gave him a wink.
"Don't worry about me," while he thought she was distracted, Doran flew at her at full speed and went to attack her. All she did was wait there and looked at him. Then she raised her hand and he stopped in midair. Everyone looked at them and Doran stared at her, reaching out to grab her, huge confused anime eyes popping out of his head. Then he started to move all over the place flapping his wings trying everything to get down or get at her. In the background Dianna and Calan were laughing at how silly Doran looked and the rest of the band had a hard time holding back chuckles. Nakada smirked and Doran stared at her, staying absolutely still, not liking her smirk at all. Nakada looked at him for a while and then her smirk widened showing her fangs and waved her hand aside and Doran flew right into a wall. The wall didn't break but Doran was knocked unconscious.
Nakada turned towards the rest of the demons still having that smirk on and looked at the rest of the demons, "If any of you make any more fun of Yoko or anyone else that was beaten by one of us, remember Doran." There was a nod from all of the demons and she began to look normal again, "Okay now it is almost lunch time girls, DJ, Kyle why don't we go into the kitchen for a little while and make a lunch. Then we can be on our way," Yoko nodded and everyone went into the kitchen with Jennah carrying Dianna and April had Calan.
The demons went into the living room, leaving Doran still unconscious on the floor. Yoko took a seat at a chair and they all stayed quiet. Then Theo a raccoon demon spoke up, "She sure can be scary when she's angry."
Yoko smiled and chuckled, "You don't know the half of it. She slaps just as good as she punches, there really isn't much of a difference," everyone looked at him as he smiled.
"You mean she will actually hit a sick person?" Theo asked wide-eyed.
Yoko looked at him surprised. He then realized what he had said and held his hands up into the air as if to defend himself and closed his eyes as he smiled, "No she didn't hit me while I was hear! But, when she did slap and punch me, they both hurt and I really didn't feel much of a difference!" Everyone of Yoko's band made and 'oh' sound or gesture he the fox demon laid back on the seat, placing a hand on the side of his face that always seemed to attract Nakada's hand and all was quiet again.
Soon, though, the quiet ended as the team came in with some food and they all began to eat. Doran had joined before the team had come in and kept on glaring at Nakada, but she looked like as if she didn't notice. Dianna wouldn't stop trying to grab Nakada's tail and kept on reaching to it with a grin on her face, but she was well hidden from Yoko's view. Nakada held Calan close to her as she watched Dianna try to grab her tail and let the little baby boy play with her fingers. Jennah was holding Dianna, she was sitting next to Nakada, both smiling and watching Dianna play with Nakada's tail. Yoko would occasionally look up and watch them play together but glared at the hidden babies and only saw the little hands of Dianna reaching for Nakada's tail, and the little hands that had a hold of her fingers.
Then Condor, an orange cat demon spoke up, "It's going to be winter soon and none of us know what the climate will be like in the forest. The babies might get horribly sick if it gets too bad," Everyone looked at Condor but he didn't seem to notice as he looked at the twins, "Maybe we shouldn't go today, maybe when the snows have passed we can go."
Nakada sighed, "Our team can work some magic to make sure…they are warm and safe. If the snow is to high for us to travel anymore or the winter is so sever then…" Nakada paused unsure if she should say this and give away another secret. She looked at the others and they nodded, "Then I can ask the earth to make an underground tunnel for us to stay in until winter is over."
All of the demons looked at Nakada and she just looked at the floor letting her tail go limp and Dianna grabbed it giving a good yank, "Ow!" Nakada said as she tried to pull her tail away from Dianna's grip and everyone laughed. She even joined in giggling a little at her own mistake and tickled Dianna a little.
"Well that is taken care of," Kuronue said and looked around, "Do you think we should get going then, and try to get some walking done before the winter snow starts up?" there was a round of agreement and they all started to go to the green house.
Sophie made a mirror appear a small distance away fro, them and they walked up to it, "Well it looks like what we were blown into," Doran said and walked up to it.
Lindsey sighed and went through it before anyone could say anything. She walked through the mirror and they could see her on the other side waving at them to join her. Soon everyone went into the mirror and they saw that they were a quite a few miles away from they had first been…bonus.
