Okay, I am not going to be updating for a while because school practically want to kill me. I am also thinking about going into the shcool musical, that is if they are going to have one this year. And I am trying to get a job to help me with getting some money for university. So the only time I might be able to update, is maybe at Christmas, I will try to update sooner, but I am not making any promises. I also haven't updated the story from this point of view as you have noticed maybe, but if you look through the chapters, my guess no one has read Trying to Get Along because I am pretty sure I made a mistake when I was downloading the chapters and I missed that one. So you might want to go through the stroy again, or just that chapter, and it might make more sence to you.
Shoulder Monkey, thank you for your review and I honestly don't mind if you don't mind my huge gaps a updating.
And Reeny thank you for the review, I haven't seen Hiei, and I doubt Kuronue is dumb enough to steal something from you. But what am I saying? He's a man! Sorry to all men who are reading this, but, you know it's true. I'm not saying that women don't make mistakes as well but...who is usually sleeping on the couch or in the dog house?
Well, bedtime, see you later hopefully.
The Dream and Spending Time With My Kids
It had been three days since that incident and Yoko was trying to find ways to get Nakada to talk to him, but she never seemed to be around. Right then it was nighttime. Yoko was lying down on his bed his hands folded under his head as he looked at the ceiling of his tent. He bit his lower lip, trying to figure out how to talk to Nakada and spend time with his children before it became to late. He sighed and closed his eyes. Why is it I always seem to screw up when it comes to her? What will happen when we get out of this accursed forest? Will…will she leave me and take the twins with her? I hope it won't come to that. Yoko laid down on his side, laying his head on one hand while the other hung over the side of his torso, and finally went to sleep.
Dream A few Years Later
Yoko was outside of his palace, leaning over a stone fence that looked out into his garden. He sighed and lowered his head; his ear flickered when he heard children screaming. He looked up and saw a little girl and boy, that seemed to be five years old, running from what looked like a demon, both of them holding onto each other's hands. The demon was clearly a snake demon, but also had a horn in the middle of its head and one on each of its shoulders.
Yoko jumped from the balcony and in front of the little kids, who were sitting on the ground crying against each other. The demon looked at Yoko and backed away, "Y-Yoko Kurama! I did not know these children were in your protection!"
Yoko stood there, silent, with the crying children behind him, "It does not matter if they are in my protection or not. You do not touch anyone or anything that is in my territory…or you pay the price."
"No! Yoko please!" it hissed out.
The little girl heard a noise and covered her ears along with closing her eyes as she huddled close to her brother, and continued to cry. She felt a gentle hand on her shoulder and she looked up to see Yoko. He was kneeling down in front of her and her brother on one knee with his hand holding her shoulder and his other hand was on her brother's shoulder. He looked surprised when he looked at them fully.
Her hair was brown with silver streaks and went midway down her back; her brother's was silver with brown streaks at the same length as his sisters. Their skin was slightly pale with some colour. The girl's eyes were red and swollen from her crying, but what was really surprising was that her eyes were as golden as Yoko's. The boy's eyes, who had stopped crying some time ago when he had seen the fox, were also golden, but with some hints of ice blue. The girl looked at him and smiled, along with her smile her eyes turned ice blue, "Thank you mithter," she said and Yoko figured they weren't who he thought they were.
He smiled, "You're welcome little ones," he wiped her tears away, "Can you tell me why you two are alone?"
The little girl looked up at him and smiled, "We were looking for our daddy," she answered.
Yoko continued to smile, "What does your daddy look like?" he asked as he helped the little girl up and the boy let go of his sister, looking at the fox in awe.
The little boy looked down at the ground and folded his hands behind his back, "We don't know…we have never theen him," he looked up at Yoko's surprised face, "But mommy thaid he lives near here, tho we went to look for him."
"Tell me little ones," Yoko began to say after a while of silence, "What are your names?"
The little girl looked up at him, "My name ith…Dianna and I am five yearth old!" The girl said with a smile, holding up a hand with five fingers up.
"And my name ith Calan, I am the tame age ath my twin thither," the little boy said with a proud smile.
Yoko felt like his world was falling apart as he looked at the now found out twins. He kneeled down to them again, "T-tell me," he said in a shaky voice, "I-is…is your mother's…your mommy's name…Nakada?"
The little twins looked up at each other, than him with a smile, "I think aunt Jennah thaid that wath her name," they said at the same time.
End Dream
Yoko bolted up in bed, his eyes wide, cold sweat dripping down his face, and breathing rather fast. "What you just saw," Yoko turned to see the six elements that Lucifer were talking to, "Was what will happen if you don't try to get Nakada back," Ice said while folding his arms over his chest.
Yoko looked at the elements, "Who and what are you?"
"We are the leaders of certain elements! It doesn't take a fool to know which elements we rule!" Lighting almost yelled, with sparks shooting from him.
Yoko raised his hand to cover his eyes then looked angry; "If you are the leaders of the elements, then you should know that I am trying to do everything I can to get Nakada back! But she is never around for me to talk to her!"
"Then why don't you try to spend some time with Dianna and Calan…during the night?" asked Snow.
"What do you mean spend time with Calan and Dianna? They are always with Nakada! If I can't find Nakada then…during the night?" he asked as if he was listening wrong.
"Nakada, Dianna and Calan always sleep in their own tent which is right here in the this cavern." Water said looking at him, "We can tell you where, since she moved it…but she is here with the twins."
"Show me…please."
Yoko silently entered the tent that Nakada and the twins were sleeping in. He looked at Nakada and saw that she looked awfully tired while she slept. He walked over to her and saw that she had been crying due to her pink swollen eyes. He gently wiped the tears away from her face, "Come on laddie," Lucifer whispered appearing behind him.
"If I had known that this is what hiding certain information from her would do…I never would have hid it. I just thought I was doing the right thing," Yoko said as he gently kissed Nakada on the lips. When the kiss was done, he placed his forehead on hers.
"Come on laddie," Lucifer said getting anxious, "If you keep this up, then she will wake up and the plan will be ruined." Yoko nodded as he placed his hand on Nakada's forehead and moved her hair away from her face.
He stood up and went over to the twins' cribs and smiled when he saw his little girl and boy. He gently picked them up and like last time, put them into the basket he had brought. When they were in the basket, he ran outside to his tent, making sure not to make any noise, with Lucifer right behind him. He went into his tent and with the basket in his arms.
He placed the basket on his bed and looked inside as he sat down beside it. He smiled when he saw his two beautiful children inside. He reached one arm inside the basket and stroked each babies' face as they slumbered, "They are so beautiful," Yoko said as he sighed. His smile left his face, "If…if only I had listened to Nakada, if only I had paid attention to that dream."
"I am confused now laddie," Lucifer said as he floated over to Yoko, "You said something about Nakada implanting a dream into your mind while you were asleep to try and make you believe that these were your kids."
Yoko looked up at Lucifer while he still had his hand in the basket, "Yeah, I figured she did it, since no one else was around to do it. I dreamed about these two. Their appearances were blurry, and I could only make out their mouths. They said they were the ones making the dream, so that was why I couldn't see them correctly. They told me all that they said they knew about what was going on. It all made since, but I didn't want to believe it."
"Because what they said meant that you were their father?"
Yoko nodded, "A part of me always knew that were my kids…but…I didn't want them to be, because children who are born that way, are usually ugly and disfigured, also made fun of and not accepted." Yoko laid his free arm on the edge of the basket and them placed his chin on his arm, "I didn't want that for my kids, that part of me didn't want it anyway."
Lucifer…well…I think he looked at Yoko, and sighed, "You have two very strong kids to have done given you that dream Yoko."
Yoko instantly looked at Lucifer with a shocked expression, "How could they have done that? They weren't even properly formed, which was one of the reasons why I couldn't see them."
"Yoko, for all that I know, Nakada doesn't yet know how to implant dreams so she couldn't have done that. Also, babies can learn how to think earlier than people think they can. Babies can learn how to think even if they are still in the womb."
The fox stared at Lucifer, still not believing what he was hearing. He looked down at the children and a smile slowly spread across his face, "I can tell that these kids are going to be a handful than," he said as he started to stroke their faces again, his claws gently scratching at their skin.
"They are a handful now honestly," the bag said as he set himself down on the bed, "Believe it or not, you are doing Nakada a good deal of help by looking after them during the night."
"Why's that?" Yoko asked as he continued to stare at the twins' faces.
"Well, when they need to be fed, burped, or have their diapers changed, they make it known by crying and waking her up. This is probably the first night she will have a good night's sleep, with out them waking her up. Maybe after a while, the lass will come to realize that you are getting better, that you do want to be apart of your young'uns lives and that you love her as well."
Yoko smiled a little as he sighed and started at his children, "I wish I could believe that Lucifer," he said as he watched one of his children wake up, "But…so much has happened, and I have made some many stupid mistakes…" Yoko felt something wet on his cheeks and he raised his hand to see that tears were falling from his eyes. He couldn't help but to laugh a little as he wiped his tears away, "She has somehow made me able to cry again. It has been a long time since I cried." Yoko looked Lucifer, for some reason, and saw a camera shining out of the top of the bag. Yoko instantly looked suspicious, "What is that Lucifer?" Yoko asked.
"What? Oh this! Don't worry about it, it's nothing!" The camera instantly vanished and Dianna, the one who had been waking up, started to cry.
Yoko looked down at his daughter and gently picked her up, "Hey now, why is my little vixen crying? Huh? Hush, it's all right," Yoko held his daughter carefully in his arms, with her head in the crook of his elbow. He stroked her face and tried to sooth her and she started to suck on his finger.
"Why don't you reach into me? I think I know the reason why she is crying." Yoko looked at Lucifer and hesitantly reached into Lucifer's main opening. He grabbed a hold of something, and pulled out a bottle filled with milk. "Feed that to Dianna."
Yoko moved the nipple of the bottle to the little baby's mouth, trying to get her to take it. Dianna stopped crying for a second, and then she closed her mouth around the nipple of the bottle and started to drink. Yoko smiled as he held his little girl close as he continued to feed the little baby. "It is a good thing that Nakada gave me some of her milk just in case something like this might happen. Of course it was meant for her friends and not for you. Hehehehe she was blushing like mad when she used that pump though."
Yoko looked up from his child to look at Lucifer, "What do you mean by that?"
Lucifer instantly gained a huge sweat drop when he realized what he just blurted out, "Well…a-a…you see…um…well…"
"The only way a Sign baby can survive, is if it gets the milk from their mother," Air said as she appeared in front of Yoko and Lucifer.
Yoko looked at Air with a surprised expression on her face, but it was also confused, "But…the only way Dianna or Calan would have gotten her milk…was if she was able to breast feed. She can't be breast feeding since she didn't have the twins."
Lucifer gave a weak chuckle and Air tried to hide an embarrassed smile behind her hand, "Yes well," Lucifer began, "That would partially be my fault."
Yoko instantly looked at the bag, "How could it be your fault?" he asked. His face went pale as he began to think up some…rather unpleasant thoughts.
"OH! It's not what you think at all!" Lucifer instantly said when he saw the expression on the fox's face. "Nakada knew that she had to become able to…well…you know, but she couldn't without having a child. So she began to read about it, it was so funny to see her face, and she found out about a berry she could take. She took it, and…well…she is able to breast feed now."
Yoko sighed a little, then remembered another thing Lucifer had said, while he began to try and burp Dianna, "What do you mean that, she was blushing like mad when she was using the pump? Why would she want to use a pump?"
Air and Lucifer, both began to sweat drop like mad as they began to think about how to explain it to Yoko, but they were saved when…Dianna threw up all over Yoko's shoulder!
