Yes, I know the chapters have been a little short, I've been having... "personal issues"... I'm sorry...
These issues are kinda ruining my mood for writing, so please bear with me...
Support is greatly appreciated
As the days wore on I began to realize life wasn't going to be hard for me, yeah I can't remember anything before this "accident" people are calling it, but the people here are really nice.
The orange haired one… That's a different story…
It's been a couple months before everyone started to realize there really wasn't enough room for everyone in my house, but by now I couldn't do a whole lot and my "bump" was getting much larger.
I guess you could say in three more months it would go away, but right now it's giving so many problems.
A new girl came to live with us awhile back… I think that's when everyone started to realize we needed more room. Three bedrooms and six people does not a comfy house make.
Well actually seven people and four rooms. But my room has been my room since before they came so it has stayed my room and my room only.
"What are we going to do about the living arrangements…?" the new girl Yukina asked.
"Well… there's more than enough room in the clearing around my house to build a new home…" I answered.
"I think we need to go shopping." Botan piped in.
Dear god! Is shopping all she ever thinks about?!?
"Why…?" I asked.
"Well think about it… You're… well… You're getting… larger… and you need clothing that is going to fit around you. And hey while we're shopping maybe the guys can come up with a housing plan!"
Oh yeah… they're TOTALLY going to be able to do THAT by themselves… sure…
"Well…"
"Oh please! You can't do much ANYWAY and you've been reduced to wearing ugly baggy clothing!"
I was never going to win was I?
"Fine…" I started.
"HURRAY!!!!!" Botan and Keiko cheered.
"But we have to help at least DESIGN the house concept FIRST." I finished smugly.
This will definitely save me some time.
I heard groans from the two girls but I was already up and heading towards the room that doubled as storage when Kurama stopped me.
"We'll find some paper for you, you just go relax." He stated.
"But… I can find it myself…" I replied bewildered but he was already ushering me away from the room.
I watched as Yuske slipped in the crack he created and shut the door quickly behind him.
What was in there…? Why wasn't I allowed in…? Were there things they didn't want me to see…?
I'll just have to find out myself…
As I sat down next to Yukina I started to think about what we were going to design.
There could be a whole new house, two houses one mine one theirs. Or we could just extend mine, adding a few rooms for the extra people… maybe a storage house to empty out the room down here…
There had to be a baby's room…
"I think we should just build a whole new house." Yukina stated quietly.
I turned to her. "How come…?"
"Well…" she began, "this is your house… it was yours before any of us moved in… and I think you have a right to have it be only yours again… and you're having a baby. You could use a baby's room and maybe even a toy room down stairs for the baby to play in or to story the toys the baby will need…"
"But that's only two rooms; I have four of them in the house."
"I know, but those two extra rooms could be used in other ways. Like an office and a quiet room all for yourself. Or something else… I think you should have this house to yourself. I think it would be nice…"
"We could even build a storage shed." Keiko chimed in. "For the boxes in the store room and maybe for things the baby would use outside and maybe things for the boys to train with."
They actually care about me and my baby… I'm amazed… Well not by Yukina, she's always cared, but the other girls…
As Kurama came over with a pad of paper and a pencil I had an idea of how I thought the new house would look and work to accommodate the girls and the boys.
An upstairs with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A fair sized closet in each bedroom and a linen closet on one end of the hallway. There would be a stair way closet under the stairs on the bottom floor and three bedrooms with two full bathrooms as well. All the bedrooms would be the same size and none of the closets would be bigger than the others. The bathrooms would be able to accommodate two sinks and a tube/shower combo. There would be a kitchen and a washroom off of it on one side and the dinning room on the other. Off the dinning room would be the living/family room, large enough for everyone to be at the same time. It would be perfect for six people to live in comfortably.
I could always extend my dinning room, but I don't think they would be eating in my house anymore.
There could be a storage shed halfway between each house so that everyone could get to it easily. It would have to be large and probably split in two with one room for the training equipment and the other for the baby toys and boxes; of course the training side would be locked at all times to make sure my baby couldn't get in.
Maybe we could even build a training ring a little ways away from the house so that the boys could train at the same time as the baby is outside and they wouldn't be in the way of endangering the baby.
Maybe this will work out after all…
After I finished sketching the whole idea (it took several pages to get every detail I wanted in down on paper) the girls we finally allowed to whisk me away to the mall… or as I call it 'hell on earth'…
"Ohmigawd!!!" Botan screamed as she saw the baby dresses. "They're so kawaii!!!"
"Kawaii…?" I asked staring at the huge frilly pink one. I feel so bad for the little girl who has to wear that one…
"Cute! They're so cute!"
"Oh…"
As we walked on the two tornadoes named Botan and Keiko kept squealing, running off, and exclaiming about some article of clothing or some piece of jewelry.
I sighed.
Finally, at long last, we made it to the maternity section.
All hell broke loose…
The two girls took off in every direction shouting to each other, while holding up an article of clothing, to see if the other liked it.
Yukina watched in dismay.
"Don't worry…" I sighed patting her shoulder. "You'll never get use to it, you just give up…"
She just stared at me.
Oh boy…
As we walked back towards my house I could hear arguing.
I'm not in the mood to deal with this…
I turned the corner and came face to face with Yuske and Kuwabara at it yet again.
"why don't you two SHUT THE HELL UP AND HELP WITH THE BAGS!!!!" I screamed.
Suddenly I was fuming and ready to deck both of them in the face. Talk about mood swings.
Quickly both of them turned around and stared wildly at me.
"What? Have you never seen a bitchy pregnant woman before?" I snapped.
God what idiots!
I hauled my bags into the house and dropped them on the floor, laid down on the couch and fell asleep.
When I woke up I was in my room under the covers. It was dark.
Being pregnant must really wear women out because I get so tired so easily now…
I sat up, climbed out of the bed and looked around. The bags of clothing sat in one corner by the door and someone had changed the sheets on my bed before putting me in it.
Then I remembered.
The room… I wanted to know what was in there.
As I made my way to the door I realized how little I remembered.
Like… Why was this house so large for only one person…? I had been living here alone before the 'group' showed up, wasn't I? Or… Why did I have so many beds in this house? Wouldn't the rooms have been something other than bedrooms…?
Was there more that the "accident" made me forget than just the group in my house and Hiei…? Or was there something before that…?
I shook my head and silently opened my door.
Hey, I may have lost a lot of memories, but this is still my house and I still know how to get around without making noises.
Carefully moving down the stairs I spot Yuske's sleeping bag in front of the door…
I shoulda thought about something like that…
I stood there, wondering what I was going to do when Yuske actually rolled AWAY from the door.
'Now's my chance!' I thought as I ran silently to the door, opened it, and slipped inside.
As I closed the door behind me I realized I should have brought a flash light, turning on the room lights was definitely out of the question. I sighed and looked around at the room in the darkness and noticed the boxes were stacked in groups.
Was there some method to it…? Were the boxes stacked by some meaning…?
I didn't have time to look now… I had to get out before Yuske blocked the door or someone came in to check.
I'll come back… There's something here… Something I need… Something that wants to be remembered…
