The Talk
That night as Yoko was dreaming, he turned around so his back was to both Nakada and Conner. His eyes seemed to be closed more tightly as he grunted and bead of sweat ran down his face as he clinched his teeth and bared his fangs.
Dream
The next morning Yoko woke up and found that he was warm and he heard soft breathing behind him. He turned around and saw Nakada sleeping with a smile on her face. His eyes turned red as he remembered everything he had read in her Diary and all the other things she had done to him. His hand was at her throat and he closed his hand around the vulnerable part of it. Nakada continued to sleep with a smile on her lips and he gripped tighter wanting to rid him of her forever. She gave a gasp and opened her eyes and saw Yoko with his hand around her throat and she looked at him with confusion in her eyes.
He gripped her neck harder and harder until she felt like she was losing consciousness but she did not fight. Then she ceased breathing and her heart stopped beating. Yoko kept on holding her neck even tighter still and then the room faded away and Nakada was no where to be found.
Yoko found himself lying down in a dark room and the only light source was shining on him and he blinked and squinted at the bright light. He slowly stood up and saw Nakada in the distance and she seemed angry to him. He ran over to her but he couldn't reach her and he always seemed to be in the light. Then he saw himself only huge and his eyes were glowing blood red with hatred. It was Hatred and he began to reach down to Nakada. She gave out a loud scream as his hand grabbed her and picked her up. He began to squeeze tightly around Nakada and Yoko tried again to reach them but he couldn't.
Hatred gave an evil laugh and brushed Yoko aside with a swipe of his hand and he hit a wall. Yoko could still hear Nakada screaming in Hatred's hand and he tried to get up and leaned against the wall with his back to it. He reached into his hair and pulled out a seed and giving it some of his spirit energy it turned into a Death Tree as it stretched out to Hatred but he just laughed again as he breathed on the plant and fire came from his mouth setting a flame the branches of the Death Tree.
"If you want her so much then have her!" Hatred tossed Nakada towards Yoko and he caught her. He laid her down and sat on the floor beside her, laying her across his lap.
"Don't worry Nakada," he said as he cradled her head close to his chest and stroked her hair away from her face, "I won't let him hurt you any more."
She looked at Yoko and the love that was once in those ice blue eyes were gone. Her eyes held something else and he didn't like it one bit. She stood up and said the three most hurtful words, "I…hate…you," his heart began to hurt so much as a tear fell from his eyes.
He was standing as well and he gently took hold of her shoulders and bent forward until he was at eye level with her, "Nakada, I love you so much, I thought you did to. Why do you hate me?"
She moved away from his grasp and away from him, "Why would I love a thief, a murderer, a rapper and a demon all in one? You struck me when we first met, you helped Kelsey kidnap my parents, you bit me when I helped you with your nightmares, you kept a secret from me and had no intention of telling me, you read my diary, you tried to take me when I was asleep back at the camper while we were still on the road, you clawed me, you tried to mark me as yours when I was asleep, you killed me without hesitation and you are still keeping secrets from me."
Yoko's heart felt like a dagger had punctured it with every word she said against him it would twist while still inside his heart, "But Nakada I don't want you dead, that was all of my hatreds doing. I thought you had forgiven me about those things and the reason why I can't tell you those secrets is because Kelsey will kill me and there would be no way to stop it," without thinking he took Nakada's hand and pressed it to his half bare chest over his heart, "Can't you feel the love I have for you and will only have for you? Can't you feel the pain you are putting me through Nakada with your words?" she placed a hand over her own heart and her legs began to shake as tears appeared in her eyes.
"Yoko please stop your hurting me," Yoko remembered that she had said she could get over whelmed with emotions and he instantly let her hand go and caught her as she fell to the ground.
He dug his face into her hair and pressed her head to his chest as she silently cried into it, "I'm sorry Nakada but I love you so much and what you are doing to me is killing me. I am sorry for all the things I have done to you but I have changed so much. I never wanted to kill you Nakada I couldn't control my anger and I lost control," he lifted her face up and wiped away the tears on her face and he could feel his own eyes filling up with tears and threatening to come down as well, "I love you so much Nakada and it hurts my heart so much to see and hear you say such things about me even if they are true. Because no matter what you say about me I will always feel this way and I will prove it," without thinking he gently placed a hand on the back of her head and brought her face close to his. He closed his eyes and gently kissed her passionately on the lips. She closed her eyes as well and accepted the kiss.
When he broke the kiss he looked down at her and saw that there still wasn't any love in her eyes, "But why did you have so much anger towards me in the first place Yoko? Why did you want to mark me and say I would be yours? Why did you want to hurt me Yoko?" she stood up and he helped her, "Why did you kill all of those humans and demons? Why did you do all of those hurtful things?" Nakada started to back away from him and he reached out to her again to stop her but she dodged the hand, "I…hate…you," and with that she turned around and ran away from him.
Yoko ran after her trying to catch her but she became no more then a speck in the darkness and then the scenery turned into a lush forest and he kept on running. He came to a clearing and stopped when he saw Nakada ahead of him and he ran towards her again but he immediately stopped. There in the centre of the clearing surrounded by long grass and many flowers was Nakada in the arms of another man. He held her with such gentleness with his head on hers as she held on to his shirt and she cried into his chest.
Yoko couldn't move or do a thing as he watched the man take one hand from her back and lifted her head up so she would look into his eyes. She smiled and stopped crying when he spoke sweet words to her and then he lowered his head down to hers and kissed her. She smiled into the kiss and kissed him back while circling her arms around his neck.
"Na-t-ash-a," Yoko whispered pressing his hand over his heart that was hurting him so much and the tears that he had been holding back came down. His tail wrapped around his waist and his ears flattened to his head as he kept on watching Nakada kiss and embrace the other man, "Nakada please, your hurting me so much please stop."
But she didn't hear him and she continued to kiss the other man. Then he saw the other man un tuck her shirt and move his hands up her shirt starting to unbuckle her bra and all the while she was unbuttoning his shirt and kissing along his neck.
Yoko was kneeling on the ground hugging himself unable to stand up any more. He closed his eyes no longer able to watch and laid on the ground curled up with his tail wrapped around him and his ears still flattened to his head. Tears fell from his closed eyes as his heart felt like it was breaking into two. He felt like there was nothing but darkness around him as he laid on the ground. Then he felt someone hold him close and he heard singing. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that the darkness that had been surrounding him had now disappeared and now he was surrounded by light. He felt like he was laying across someone's lap with his head on that persons shoulder. He looked at the person who was holding him and saw that Nakada was holding him and singing to him with the love back in her eyes. She held him close and sang to him as she rubbed his ear like she always did when he had a nightmare.
He closed his eyes as he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her as close to him as he could, "Please never leave me Nakada and don't hurt me like that again it was just to much. I know I have done horrible things in my life and I know I can't change them but can you still please forgive me?"
He looked at Nakada when she had stopped singing and saw that there was confusion on her face. He began to get worried but she started to caress his cheek and smile at him, "Yes Yoko I can forgive you for all of the things you did and I will never hurt you on purpose with out a reason to do so," Yoko smiled and laid his head on her shoulder again as she wiped away his dry tears and he closed his eyes as she started humming.
End dream
"Dad?"
Yoko sat bolt up with cold sweat running down his face. He calmed down and looked beside him to see Conner there looking at him with curious eyes, "Ohayoo gozimasu Conner," he greeted with a little yawn wiping his sweat away.
"Ohayoo gozimasu…you okay?" Yoko looked at him, "You seemed to be having a nightmare."
Yoko smiled and messed Conner's hair up a bit and sat up straighter, "I fine now…one good thing about nightmares, they can't hurt you." Yoko looked around and saw that Nakada and the twins weren't around, "Where's your mother and little siblings?" he asked.
"They went out for a walk," Conner answered sitting by Yoko and he looked at him.
"Why didn't you go with them?" he asked wrapping his arm around him.
"Mom told me not to tell," Conner said with a giggle.
Flash Back
"Mom can I go with you?" Conner asked as Nakada got Dianna ready to go outside.
She looked at him and smiled, "Not this time. Besides you have to take care of your father and make sure he doesn't become too much of a hentai, but don't tell your father."
"Okay," Conner said with a smile. When she left Conner thought to him-self, What's a hentai?
End flash back
"Dad?' Conner asked as Yoko got out of bed and put his shirt on. He looked at him and nodded, "What's a hentai?" Yoko fell down anime style.
"Who told you told you that word?" he asked looking at him with a smile sweat dropping a little.
"Mom," he answered with a smile.
Yoko smiled knowing why Nakada had left Conner with him. Yoko went over to him and messed up his hair again, "I'll tell you when you're older."
Conner laughed as he followed Yoko out of the tent right beside him. It was kind of foggy out but the campfire gave a little light. Yoko saw Nakada and the twins playing by the fire and having a great time, "So this is why you left the tent and left Conner with me?" Yoko asked as he sat beside Nakada. Conner sat beside him and Yoko grabbed him and set him on his lap tickling him.
"Hahahaha stop please hahahaha," Yoko tickled him a little more before he stopped and Conner smiled as he continued to sit in Yoko's crossed legs and leaned against him feeling more protected then he ever had.
Yoko looked down at him and smiled holding him close. Nakada looked at them and so did Dianna and Calan. The twins started to reach out to Conner and started to complain a little, "Here Conner, if your father will help you, why don't you hold your little brother and sister for a while?"
Conner looked up into the face of Yoko and the kitsune smiled as he nodded. The little boy smiled as he stretched out his little arms and with the help of both Yoko and Nakada he was holding them. Dianna snuggled against him with her brother and looked at him in the said, "Bo-ther," she said trying to make an attempt at calling Conner her brother.
Calan, not to be outwitted took hold of Conner's shirt with both of his small hands, looked up at him and said, "Brother."
Nakada and Yoko laughed a little while Conner looked at the twins surprised and Yoko spoke to him, "I think they already knows you're their big brother."
Conner looked at him and smiled, "Or Calan thinks of me as his brother and Dianna thinks of me as a bother," they chuckled a little and then Kuronue came into view and Dianna saw him.
She smiled and said, "Unc Oaf," and Kuronue looked at her and sighed shaking his head and then he smiled.
"Why in the world did you call me an oaf in front of her Yoko?" he asked looking at him.
"Hey if I had known she was going to say that…"
"You still would have done it," Kuronue said interrupting him and sat down beside him, "At least her brother hasn't started calling me Unc Oaf." He looked at the three kids and smiled, "So I see the little ones have taken you in as their brother"
"Actually Dianna said I was a bother but I think she meant brother. Calan did say brother though," Kuronue laughed a little and covered his mouth.
Nakada then stood up, "I'll go to the village now, I trust you can take care of the twins?" she asked looking at the three of them. They nodded and she turned to leave at a very amazing speed.
When the tiger teen reached the village, she saw that there was a council meeting being held and when Bertha saw her she yelled, "SHE TOOK HIM!" pointing to Nakada.
Everyone looked at her and the leader of the village walked up to him, "Excuse me but did you take Conner?"
She looked at him surprised, "Will sort of, he slipped into one of the bags the demons were carrying and we couldn't back track."
"Where is he now?" the leader asked looking around and couldn't see him.
"He is still back at the camp when we…" but before she could finish Bertha interrupted her.
"See I told you they stole him!"
"WHEN WE FOUND HIM!" Nakada yelled over her looking straight at her fire evident in her eyes, show she meant business and did not like being interrupted. Bertha shed away from her and Nakada looked at the leader, "When we found him, Conner was covered head to foot in bruises that he says his parents gave him."
Everyone looked at George and Bertha and they both seemed a little afraid, "Whom are you going to believe? Her? She just came yesterday…or us who have been here most of our lives. We never hurt a hair on his head!" protested George.
"He's lying!" yelled one of the kitsunes, "Their heartbeats are soaring!"
"Conner said that he doesn't want his parents to be hurt, and I told him I wouldn't let that happen."
Everyone looked at them and so did the leader, "…Fine they won't be hurt but they will be confined to their hut for six months. The only food they get is what we give them."
"Thank you village leader," Nakada said with a bow, "Now before anything else happens I have to get back to camp, that is," she looked around at the village, "Assuming I have everyone's permission to take in Conner. Yoko and I have already told him we would take him in as our adopted son."
There was a round of a vote and it was agreed that Conner could stay with the human and fox demon. When that was over, everyone said good-bye again and she was off.
Back at Camp
Yoko, the twins and Conner were in their tent waiting for Nakada to return from the village. The twins were in their cribs taking a quick nap before they were off again. Conner wouldn't stop holding each of the twins' hands and stroked them a little as they slept. Yoko was reading a book, but he couldn't stop looking at them from time to time to see the scene and smile. (AWWWW KODAC MOMENT!) Then Conner looked up at the kitsune, "Dad," he looked back at him, "There are a few reasons why I wanted to be adopted by you."
Yoko put the book down, sat over the side of the bed and Conner sat beside him, "What are the reasons?" Yoko asked wrapping his arm around him from the back.
"Well, one is because the way I saw you and mom care of Calan and Dianna and each other, even when you have arguments," Yoko nodded and smiled, "The other reason was because of Calan and Dianna," he looked at them and Yoko looked at the boy curiously. Conner looked back at him and didn't know what to say, "I-I'm beggin born as well…the last egg. The only reason why the villagers let me stay was because they knew who my parents were. That is also the reason why my parents didn't love, me but I always loved them despite that. That part of the beggin stays with you I've learned. Because a beggin male or female loves living things and their parents no matter what. You would rarely see a beggin child, born in the way or not, that didn't love their parents."
Yoko looked at Conner still holding him close and remembered what the beggin had told him the day the twins were implanted in him.
Flash Back
"That is what I wanted to hear Yoko. Go to sleep now I will watch over you. You will always have someone to love you and care for you no matter who or what you are."
End Flash Back
Yoko looked at Conner and smiled, "You know Conner," the boy looked up at his adopted father, "I'm going to tell you a little secret that no one knows except for your mother, Kuronue, the girls, Kyle and DJ." Conner nodded, "I don't want you to tell anyone else okay?" he nodded again, "You know that Calan and Dianna are beggin born right? Well I know who her parents are."
"You do?"
Yoko nodded, "Nakada really are their mother and you're looking at their father."
Conner looked at Yoko wide eyed and the fox smiled, "But you haven't hurt her," Conner spoke as if surprised.
"Well Nakada and I aren't your birth parents are we? We love them very much and we love you as well, despite that you both came from your fathers." Yoko couldn't bring him self to tell the boy that he had actually wanted the twins dead, that was not what he wanted to hear.
Conner smiled and hugged Yoko tight but then drew back, "Do you still have the womb?" he asked looking worried.
Yoko looked at him with his smile gone and nodded, "Yes, I still have it but it is almost gone."
"And your still taking the trip?"
Yoko smiled, "Don't start sounding like your mother. Yes I am, because we still have a long way to go before we get to our hide out and your new home."
"Why do you call it a hide out?" Conner asked looking at him, "Are you a thief or something?" he asked amazed or somewhere close to that.
Yoko smiled, "Yes Conner, I'm known as the King of Thieves so I am hated by all, so you have to be careful about who you talk to." Yoko held Conner close sitting him on his lap and placing his chin on top of his head, "There are many demons and demon hunters out there that would want my hide, to make me go into slavery or want to just plain hurt me. If they found out I had a family they would instantly jump on that and try to capture you and your little siblings to get to me."
Conner looked at Yoko and held him close, "Okay dad." They both smiled holding each other close until Yoko grimaced a bit closing his eyes. Conner looked at him, "You okay dad?" he asked looking at Yoko but he couldn't answer as he pressed his hand to his abdomen, holding his breath trying to fight the pain residing there inside him. Conner was standing now not knowing what to do. He knew the womb was breaking down because he had seen his father go through the same things only his weren't as bad as this, "Don't worry dad I'll get some help."
But before he could go Yoko took hold of his hand, "No…Conner," Yoko said looking at him with eyes filled with pain.
"But dad you need help," Conner protested.
Yoko looked at him and pulled him down so they were laying on the bed and Yoko held Conner close, "You know…as well as…I do, no one can…help me with this," he said holding his son close and Conner did the same thing. Yoko laid his cheek on the boy's head, stroking his hair at times. He looked at Conner when he had calmed down a little but his stomach still hurt, "Conner look at me for a second," Conner had his face in his father's chest, he looked up into the golden eyes of the fox, "When I am calm, it doesn't hurt as much, and you being here with me helps."
Conner smiled as he snuggled closer to Yoko with a smile. Just then Nakada ran into the tent, "You all right Yoko?" she asked looking at the two boys in the bed and smiled a little, "You know if I wasn't your chotto and your kaa-san, "she said indicating the boys in the bed, "I would think your both yoai."
The boys laughed and Yoko pressed his hand to his stomach, "Nakada, you know that is not fair," he said wincing a little.
"Yah kaa-san," Conner said supporting him.
Nakada looked at them both wide-eyed and an arched eye brow, "Well, it seems you two are ganging up on me huh?" Conner and Yoko grinned as they nodded.
Nakada smiled, "You want to join us so we don't look like we're yoai?" Yoko asked, "There is plenty of room."
Nakada laughed a little, "And here I was thinking you wouldn't want to know what happened at the village," at that Yoko sat up, with much wincing, and so did Conner.
Yoko pressed his hand to his abdomen and winced, "Well what happened?" he asked a bit anxious.
She smiled as she sat on the bed making sure Conner was in between, "Your parents aren't going to get hurt, but they will be confined to their hut for six months," Conner smiled, "And they said we could keep Conner as our little son now," Nakada said holding the said boy close and Conner laughed.
Yoko smiled, "That is all good but honestly his parents deserve more then six months of confinement," Yoko winced as he moved a little and laid down on the bed.
"I agree I don't know what the punishment is for beating a child is but I know it is more then six months in jail in our world."
Yoko looked at her and then looked at Conner, "Conner, why don't you as Lucifer if he can help you take your little brother and sister out for a while and play with Kuronue and Jennah. Tell Kuronue I told you to and he wont make a fuss," Conner nodded and, with the much-needed help from Lucifer, he gently took his sister and brother out. It was a good thing they were so small because they could easily carry them out.
Nakada looked at Yoko as he laid on the bed his hand laying lightly on his abdomen. "I suppose there is a reason to why you wanted then to leave?" she asked.
Yoko looked at her and brought her down onto the bed laying right beside him wincing at times, "That wasn't the first time he was beaten Nakada," she looked at him but he didn't look at her, "He is beggin born just like the twins and that is why his parents beat him."
"Because of the way he was born?" she asked staring at him.
Yoko nodded, "The only reason why the village let him stay was because they knew who his parents were."
Nakada laid beside Yoko her eyes closed as she thought this over, "So they hurt him just because he was different? Do demons do that to their young?" she asked.
Yoko looked at her, "Sort of…they more likely throw them away hoping they will die. I heard that happened to a baby that was born half ice apparition and half fire demon. Since he was a boy and not a girl, they threw him over their island in the sky. But his twin sister looked exactly like an ice apparition, and was a girl, so they spared her." Nakada's eyes widened and looked at Yoko.
He didn't look her as he stared up at the ceiling, one arm wrapped around her shoulders holding her close. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he slightly rubbed his stomach. Letting out a sigh he opened his eyes, still not looking at Nakada, "It makes me really think honestly. I wanted to kill Dianna and Calan while they were still inside my stomach. It makes me realise that, I am no better than those ice apparitions or Conner's parents. Even if I had let them be born, I probably would have thrown them away. If not that, then I would have done what Conner's parents did." Yoko closed his eyes again and gave a weak laugh, "What am I saying," he turned his head to look at Nakada and held her closer, "If it weren't for you, they may have been born, but I would have thrown them out. My past actions prove that. As soon as they were born, I disowned them and didn't believe a single word you said about them being my children. I had to look at them before I realised you were telling the truth."
Nakada closed her eyes as she shook her head, disagreeing with what he said, "If you had found out sooner that they were your children, and you believed it, you would not have done those things. The memories of your past would not have let you."
Yoko smiled at that, "The memories of my past," he closed his eyes and turned his head to look up at the ceiling, "That is what I saw after you called me a monster. If I had succeeded in…killing my children, they would have gone and killed me. I doubt you would have been able to save me then."
Nakada looked at her hand on top of Yoko's chest, "What…happened after your parents were captured? I know about the stealing and the trying to stay alive, but I know there was something else. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but, I wouldn't know, but, I think there would have to be more then that to make your heart go rancid like the way it was before."
Yoko licked his lips, wondering if he should answer her, "Do you really want to know? It may or it may not make you more disgusted with me if you find out the truth. I know that when you found out that I had kept a secret from you about rapping human females, you really hit the roof…"
Nakada placed a finger on the fox's mouth to stop him from continuing, "I am not disgusted in you in any way Yoko. I don't know what could," she lifted her finger from his lips and took hold of the opening in his shirt, showing his chest and started to play with the material. "It is true that I was horrified with you when I found out what you did. I had already figured that you had killed whole villages leaving nothing alive and taking form the dead. It was when I found out that you had been keeping a secret from me that I should have known. You didn't even give me any hint that you were going to tell me it later, you just blew it off and told me a lie." She looked back up at the fox's face and saw that he still wasn't looking as her, "It is up to you whether you want to tell me what happened in your life or not, just let me know if I have to worry about it or not. I promise I won't burst like that again." She continued to look at Yoko and raised her hand to cup the other side of his face and turned his head towards her.
He looked into her eyes and sighed as he raised his hand to her hand on his face and leaned into it, "No, I need those out bursts believe it or not. They tell me what you feel and I try to do my best to fix my mistakes. The outbursts of emotion aren't all bad. They show me that you are happy, sad definitely angry," they both laughed at this one. He opened his eyes and looked at her, "Don't promise away something I need."
Nakada stared at him and took in a deep breath and said with a smile, "Alright."
Smiling, Yoko leaned forward a bit and kissed the human tiger's head, then moved down to her lips. They staid like that for a while, then Yoko asked for entrance and she gladly gave it to him, though very shyly. Yoko smirked at the human's inexperience and shyness as he played with her tongue a little. He broke the kiss and smiled again with he saw the blush on her face, "Are you always going to be this shy?"
"Maybe not always, but right now I am," she admitted.
Yoko was still holding the human's hand that was still cupping her cheek. He moved his thumb back and forward over the back and his eyes looked down, as if in thought. A sigh came from the fox's mouth, "I was rapped as well." Nakada stared at the fox as he admitted this. Silence enveloped the whole room, as if waiting for Yoko to continue. He took Nakada's hand away from his cheek and turned his head to the ceiling, "I am considered as a very rare kind of fox demon. Any who were able to take me in bed, thought of themselves as great demons, I always some how managed to escape," he closed his eyes and smiled a little as a soft chuckle came from his lips, "Only to be captured again by another demon and have the same thing done to me. It was like a pattern of life for me for some time. Get caught, get rapped, and escape for a few days, than get caught by another demon. It seemed like the way of life to me."
Nakada couldn't believe what she was hearing as she stared up at him, "This kept on happening until I became a young adult. I had become good at escaping and stealing to survive, but sometimes stealing wasn't enough. I managed to gain a small control over plants, but that wasn't enough to put food in my belly, clothes on my shoulders. I managed to get a roof over my head at times, but it never was warm. I had also managed to keep demons away from me, but I still hid from those that could do me harm. I learned how to tell them a part."
Yoko's eyes remained closed as he continued, "Then, I sunk even lower one winter. I knew I wouldn't be able to survive that winter at the rate I was going at. I walked into this bar one day and saw something I couldn't believe. Female and male demons were selling their bodies away to stay in that place. They were paid, fed and clothed. I thought to myself, 'Hey, this could work, not like I haven't been through this before'." Another chuckle radiated from his throat, "Boy was I wrong. I did stay there for the winter, but I regretted it. Every night, before I went to bed I trained my body harder. I worked with plants more often. Since I was the demon that everyone wanted, they made sure I was taken after, and I hade my own private room. But there were some nights I couldn't train, or work with plants because of what those demons had put me through. I would be healed the next day, and I would train even harder the next night. With a lot of determination and hard work, when winter was over, I killed the owner of the place and all the clients. The demons who were already there became members of my band. I would sometimes leave the place to steal, train or find someone to test my strength on. That was how I met Kuronue." Everything was silent for a while, all of this information being digested into Nakada's mind, "Do you still think demons are the better species?" he asked suddenly.
She didn't answer for a while, than she shook her head, "In my world that happens to other people as well. What you are saying is what the people in my world would say is you were being a prostitute. Selling your body for money and a good place to stay. Every species has a fault Yoko and with every fault it usually cancels each other out. I mean take away demons long lives and their demonic powers and they are humans that look strange and have different beliefs."
Yoko looked at her and smiled, "Different," was what he said, "That is what makes us who we are because of our differences. But you see past them."
She smile took his hand and placed it over his heart and he couldn't feel it beating like Nakada could, but he knew it was there. Then she took his other hand and placed it over hers and he could feel her heart beating. He was confused but she smiled, "Everything has a heart Yoko. You, me, the team, the band and the people who are traveling with us, we all have a heart and that is what makes us the same. We have to look at the similarities between humans, demons and other living beings, along with the differences. Those differences are what make us unique, and those similarities help us to understand other people."
He was quiet for a while, and then he spoke up, still looking at her "It is only an organ that you need to stay alive Nakada."
She shook her head, "You will understand someday Yoko," she said letting go of his hands and holding him close trying to get warm as she snuggled closer to him, "Some day."
Yoko sighed and then rubbed his hand that had the ring still on it and saw that the poison had spread a little farther. He stared at it a little while, "Lucifer?"
"Yes Laddie?" the gym bag appeared above Nakada.
"Do you think I could get a glove to cover up my hand?"
"I don't see why not," Nakada looked up at him as the fox reached into Lucifer to pull out the glove.
Before he put on the glove she asked, "Mind if I see your hand first Yoko?" The fox nodded and showed her his hand so she could see the poison. She took it and cradled it in one hand and placed her other hand on top of it. Her hands began to glow ice blue, showing she was trying to heal him. He looked at her for a while; he had forgotten that she could heal poisons. The girl began to perspire and he took his hand away noticing that some of the poison had been cleared but not all of it.
"That kind of poison is weird and not in my ability to heal. I'm so…" Yoko covered her mouth with one finger.
"Don't say anything Nakada. You cleared some of the poison away and I am thankful of that. All I need is a glove to hide the poison."
She nodded as she watched him put on a black bikers glove. It fit quite well and he turned to Nakada. He lied back down onto the bed and held Nakada close. He looked at her and smiled, "You know if I didn't have you and our children, I would just let this poison kill me because of my own stupid pride." She looked up at him shocked. He stroked some hair away from her face and continued to smile, "I hate having to do things like that, letting people push me around, but I had made a promise to the twins to be the best father I can be, and for me to just die without doing anything about it…" he stopped and she smiled, holding Yoko closer to her.
"You are going to be a great father to them Yoko," he looked at her and smiled as he held her close as well.
I'm back! I still have atleast one or two more chapters pre written before I have to write other chapters for this story, but for a little and I mean little while, we are good, unless I go into the whatever you call it again and don't want update for a long while. But until then it's okay.
Thank you for that review Vix of the night, there wil most diffenetly be a sequel after this, then one after that, this story is actually turning into a my version of a "Never Ending Story" hahahahahaha! My mother keeps on going on about that. I just can't let a stroy end:( it's not my fault. But as you can see, more and more about the Signs histroy and their abilities are being told with every new story. After the the sequel (when this story is done) there will most definitly be a lot of information on the Signs.
I repeat though, it is not the next sequel after this story, but the sequel after that sequel.
Hiei: You like sequels don't you?
Me: I believe I did just say that did I not?
Yoko: You are going to continue this torture aren't you? (sigh). Can you at least tell me how I am going to die this time?
Me: You aren't.
All of Yusuke's team: WHAT!
Me (shudders and covers ears): Ow, Yoko isn't going to die this time, it is going to be someone else. I can tell you right now that is going to show up in the next story though. Well, I have to go to rehersal soon for Fiddler on the Roof and then I have to finish off my assignment for Canadian History. School can both be good and bad, it all balances out in the end.
Everyone: See ya!
