Chapter 7: the Unexpected Birth
Ayase held his abdomen tightly, feeling how he placed himself on the bed to take a few breaths. Kanou placed down the piece of metal he had been trying to put on the right place for the past few hours and quickly brought himself to his boy.
"You okay?" he asked worriedly. Ayase opened his eyes to look at his master and removed one of the brown tresses from the man's eyes.
"I'm fine. We've just been working on the cradle for a pretty long time now. I need to rest a bit." the boy said. The man smiled, placing his hand on the other's cheek.
"I'll finish it. If I figure out how to put these damn tubes in the right place…" the man cursed.
"Maybe you first have to put the yellow fabric around it." Ayase replied. "That would make the tubes hold on to each other." Kanou raised an eyebrow at how logic that sounded and nodded in a reply.
"That might be correct…" he whispered and he then replaced himself next to the to-be-built cradle. Ayase smiled to Kanou as he felt his heart thump. Lately he had been feeling his heart beating a lot. He always thought it was because he was turning into a human and he simply was creating a heart, but something told him that the main reason was the man who had been trying to build the 'damn' cradle for the past few hours…
Ayase stared down to his legs as he felt them tremble softly. It was unable to be noticed by the mere human eye, but if you looked carefully, you noticed immediately. The blonde sighed deeply. Kanou noticed how his voice trembled and put the tubes aside once again.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked again. Ayase nodded but didn't seem firm.
"Maybe you should rest in bed. I'll take care of all this." the man proceeded. Ayase smiled again, nodding slowly.
"Perhaps you're right." he whispered. Touching his abdomen again. "But I still have to do the groceries." he continued softly, afraid of the other's reaction.
"I can do that." Kanou replied as if he had done it before, which was not the case… Ayase raised an eyebrow and giggled softly.
"You sure?" he asked. Kanou looked up, seeming to be rather offended by the boy's laughter.
"I can shop. I have a car, I have money… that's all I need, right?" he said. The blonde nodded.
"Normally, yes. But I'll give you a list of what you should take along with you." he whispered. Kanou smiled now and shook his head.
"I'll prove to you, I can remember what to bring." he said. "Just tell me now." the man placed down the piece of the cradle and turned around to face the boy properly. Ayase smiled.
"Just take whatever you want. I'm okay with anything." he said. Kanou smiled kindly, placing himself closer to the boy and kissing him on the lips.
"I can do that." he whispered softly and in a husky voice, which made Ayase tremble. "but do promise me you'll rest."
"I promise." the blonde said and Kanou now stood up, walking out of the bedroom. Ayase followed him with a smile, putting his legs onto the bed and lying down.
When he was about to close his eyes, Kanou re-entered the room and sat next to the boy, placing a cell phone in his little hands.
"Call me if something happens. Whatever you do, don't let go of it and don't open the door for anyone." he said worriedly and bent over the boy. Ayase grabbed the little thing tightly and nodded his head.
"I promise." he said. Kanou smiled now, kissing the boy again and placing his hand on the other's belly. Ayase smiled when he felt the hot touch of his hand and broke the kiss.
"Just go. Don't worry about me." he said. Kanou smiled. Sitting up straight and grabbing something from his nightstand. He placed it in the boy's other hand. Ayase smiled when he noticed what it was.
"That should make you feel better. It's called a comforter for something." the man smiled along with the boy, kissing him again.
"Now I'm leaving." he said as he stood up and walked himself towards the front door. When reaching the end of the bedroom he turned around, watching his boy and smiled when he noticed the eyes were already closed. His angel kept his promise.
Ayase's eyes opened suddenly when he heard a knock on the door. He sat up slowly, noticing he still held both the comforter and the portable, but didn't hear anything. He sighed deeply, shaking his head and feeling as if he was going mad.
But the knocking reappeared, louder this time and the boy swallowed deeply. Maybe Kanou forgot the keys? He stood up slowly, holding the heavy part of his body.
"Kanou-san?" he asked when he stood in front of the door. No reply came, only another knock. "I'm sorry, I can't open the door." he said. "Please come back later." and to the boy's surprise the knocking stopped. He took a deep breath and leaned against the wall, feeling how his heart thumped quickly, when suddenly he heard another sound. It was coming from the door lock but it didn't sound like a key. It sounded like… someone was breaking it. Breaking in.
The boy turned around and tried to run himself towards the kitchen. He placed the comforter aside, realising that it didn't make him feel comfortable at all, but didn't let go of the cell phone. He clicked the little thing open, searching for his master's number in a panic, but when he was about to press the green button the door opened.
He heard how a few people were talking. Whispering to each other. Ayase softly opened a drawer, pulling out a frying pan, hoping that it wouldn't make any sound. To his surprise it didn't.
"We know you're here, baby." one of the guys suddenly said and the other laughed quietly. Ayase felt how his breathing stocked. Of course they knew. He had said that he couldn't open the door.
"Just come out, and we won't hurt you." another voice said. This one sounded younger then the first.
"We know your… master isn't around. But we're not here for him, we're here for you." the first voice said. Ayase's fingers trembled around the pan he was holding and he was doubting whether to call Kanou or not. The portable would make noise if he picked up and they would find out where he was immediately.
"Just come out, darling, we won't hurt you." the voice continued. Ayase closed his eyes, feeling a sudden sting in his abdomen as he grabbed for the hurting spot he tried not to scream and bit his lip.
"We need you for something… we'll explain what if you just come out." Ayase felt terrified. What should he do now? He closed his eyes, praying everything would be fine. Both for him and the baby.
"Please go…" he whispered and he reopened his eyes.
"We can't do that." the younger voice said. Ayase turned his head next to him, noticing a person from around the age of twenty. He had dark brown hair and light green eyes. As the blonde tried to swing the pan against the other's head, he pressed the green button. The other person hit the pan away and made sure that Ayase threw his cell phone on the floor.
"I've got him!" the man yelled as he grabbed both Ayase's wrists and tried to push him out of the kitchen. Ayase stared towards the portable as he tried to pull back and heard a soft 'hello' appearing from it.
"Kanou-san! Come home!" he yelled but the second guy placed a cloth in the blonde's mouth and blindfolded him. Ayase heard his name coming from the phone but he was unable to reply.
"Make sure he goes unconscious, I'll take care of Kanou." the guy said and he picked up the cell phone.
"Ayase?" Kanou asked again, the panic in his voice sounded clear.
"Bet you're talking about that little, gorgeous blonde we have in our possession." the guy replied.
"What do you want? Let him go!" Kanou said.
"You want him back? Then I want you to do a job for us. I already know you're a Kotodama user and I need your help."
"What?" Kanou was furious, unable to take the anger away. But he had to stay calm. If he offended these guys in any way, Ayase would be in danger. And that included his child.
"Fine. What do you want me to do?" he said darkly.
"I want you to kill someone. Another Kotodama user." Kanou sighed deeply. If he hadn't met Ayase, it wouldn't have been a problem. But the boy had taught him that killing innocents was bad. But this would make sure his boy was safe. He took a deep breath.
"Who?" he asked and the other guy smiled.
"You made the right choice…" he said darkly. "Bet you ever heard of the Kami puppeteer before, right?" Kanou's heart stocked. "I want you to kill him."
"I can't." Kanou said.
"You have to. Or your blonde will be dead."
"That's my blonde's father." Kanou said darkly.
"What a small world." the other said with a smile on his face and he watched how his partner carried the pregnant, unconscious boy in his arms. "Well. Or it is his father or it's him. Your choice, your responsibility. I give you 10 hours. If you're not ready by then, then you made your choice. Good luck, Kotodama." and the man closed down the portable.
Kanou was immobilized for a few seconds. He had to do something. He couldn't kill the man that created his precious Ayase… he opened his cell phone, dialling the office's number and waited.
"Hello, Teito financial firm, how can I help you?" Kuba's voice sounded.
"Homare… I need you and your brother's help. Track down the last conversation of Ayase's cell phone."
"Yes sir."
"And make sure the two of you discover who the two kidnappers are."
"I will sir."
"Yeah. Thanks. I'll be there right away." and he shut down the cell phone again. In a hurry he ran towards the office, dumping the groceries on the floor. There was nothing more important than saving his boy.
Kanou threw off his coat, placing himself next to his employees. Homare turned to his boss.
"We were able to figure out one of the two voices. His name is Kozaku Yami. He was a costumer once." as the eldest of the twins showed a picture Kanou smiled a bit. He was sure the man looked different now, with the deep cut through his lips.
"And the other?" Kanou asked.
"The other is surely younger but we have no idea who he is." Misao replied. Kanou smiled.
"Have you tracked down his address?" Kanou asked. The twins shook their head.
"He has moved recently, ashamed of his appearance. We believe he moved far away. To Europe or something."
"That's impossible. I only have 10 hours. They can't be that far. I'm sure he'll keep to his promise and give me Ayase back." the twins gave their boss a shocked look. Since when did he believe in promises? And what had happened to the blonde Kami? He would never leave him out of his eyesight…
Kanou sighed deeply in his hands. Unable to find another clue. What had they been talking about? About the money… about him cheating, about his daughter included. His daughter.
"His daughter… where does she live?"
"In Japan sir, in Harajuku, as far as we know." Homare replied quickly.
"You already tracked her down?" Kanou asked with a smile.
"Yes sir. We thought she might be of some use to you." Misao said.
"Damn right you were. Go start the car. We're paying her a visit." Kanou said and he smiled wickedly at his slowly breeding plan.
Ayase groaned deeply, opening his heavy eyelids. A terrible pain was flowing through his wrists and ankles and he could feel cold air pressing against his skin.
"That took a long time for you to wake up." a voice said. The blonde turned his head, to notice the youngest of the two before him. He smiled wickedly, holding a knife in his right hand while doing some special tricks with it. The Kami gave a terrified look at the sharp thing that was shining in the dim light of the room.
A wicked grin appeared on the young man's face and he shook his head.
"You scared?" he asked in a dark voice. Ayase felt himself shiver at the words and nodded honestly. Again the man smiled.
"Don't worry, honey. I won't hurt you. Yet."
"That'll do, Trey." the elder voice said. Ayase turned his head, trying to move his wrists away from wherever they were locked on, but stopped immediately as he noticed he had no strength left to do anything.
"He's mine. Don't scare him unless I tell you to." the other guy had grey hair and Ayase's heart skipped a beat when he saw the clear scar running from the right corner of the man's upper lip to the left corner of the lip bellow. The boy immediately knew it could only be produced by Kotodama powers.
"You're Ayase, right? Kanou's new… property." the man grinned just as wicked as the other and placed himself next to the boy. The blonde felt how the cold floor was cooling down his buttocks. He had no more feeling in his ankles or feet and neither in his hands. For once in a few days he felt like a full Kami again.
"I asked you a question." the man said darkly and Ayase nodded quickly.
"You mean like a whore?" the so called 'Trey' asked and the other guy shook his head.
"I think that this person only has value to Kanou because he can heal any wound that is produced by Kotodama powers…"
"He's a doll?" Trey asked, shocked that his partner didn't mention that before.
"I want this doll to heal me. I want my old face back." Ayase looked up after that sentence and knew that whatever this guy wanted was impossible. This wound was already healed by other doctors. He could only do something if the wound wasn't treated by anyone else, and it had been from before he found out he was turning into a human that he had healed someone. So maybe his powers were faded away.
"I can't…" the boy whispered slowly. "I-I'm human…"
"I can't follow anymore. Is he a Kami or not, Yami?" Ayase couldn't help but notice the American accent in Trey's voice.
"Shut up!" he yelled and he hit Ayase' cheek with a hard punch. The blonde boy fell against the floor, the chains around his ankles echoing in the dimmed room. He moaned softly at the growing pain on his face and now noticed that the maternity dress he was wearing was ripped of to his hips, so now the others were surely able to see his underwear. He blushed at that thought, frightened of what the consequences could be.
"How far are you?" Yami asked, grinning again and staring towards the blonde's freezing, red ass. He couldn't deny that this sight was turning him on. Trey smiled, holding the knife tightly and staring from the boy's ass, to his rather small, but clear, breasts.
Ayase shivered and tried to sit up slowly but couldn't find the strength and fell back down on his back, closing his legs tightly. He took a deep breath.
"… N-nine days…" he said softly. Yami laughed out loud, and it didn't surprise Ayase that he did. The boy straightened his back, and now threw himself up, holding his abdomen tightly.
"You look more like you can give birth anytime soon…" Yami said, still laughing quietly.
"I hope you don't. I want enjoy your presence. Can people do it while being pregnant?" Trey asked. Both Yami and Ayase gave the man a shocked look.
"You're not going to do anything to her. You're fucking married to my girl." Yami said and Ayase felt slightly relieved. "Me, on the other hand. I have several reasons to hurt this girl in that way." Ayase's eyes widened in a shock. He tried to crawl further away from the men but felt how the chains held him where he was.
"Don't try to move, darling." Trey said, holding out the shiny knife. He knelt next to the boy, pressing the sharp point against his cheek.
"Don't hurt him!" Yami yelled, pushing the knife away, which left a cut in the boy's face and a drop of blood ran down his cheek. Ayase groaned fearfully, trying to hide away all his scared feelings and put up a brave face. All he wanted was to bring the child out safely and that included him.
"Idiot!" Yami said towards Trey and he stared towards Ayase again. His face had a look that made Ayase think of worry. But it slightly changed as he watched the blood run down the wound. He blinked his eyes a few times.
"Kami's can't bleed…" he said and he shook his head slowly. "What are you?" he asked and now it was clear that the man felt disgusted.
"You shouldn't care what she is!" Trey yelled. "You want to hurt that Kanou fellow, don't you? She is his lover, isn't she? Then enjoy her! Pregnant or not!" Ayase shook his head as the disgust slowly disappeared from Yami's face.
"Perhaps you're right. Hold her tightly." he said.
"N-no!" Ayase tried to crawl away, turning himself onto his hands and knees. He felt the cold floor against the skin of his knees but tried to ignore it. Suddenly Trey grabbed his leg, pulling him back and turning him onto his back again and threatening the boy with his knife.
"Don't you dare try that again." he whispered darkly as he pressed the knife against the boy's throat. Ayase trembled lightly, not daring to speak or move or do anything else unless grabbing the abdomen carrying the baby tightly. Trey smiled towards the blue eyes as they were overflowing with fear. As he licked the boy's nose slowly, Ayase let go a terrified sound.
Trey placed himself over the boy's hands, holding him tightly and not moving the knife an inch further. Ayase closed his eyes, feeling how his legs were shaking the cold away from him.
"D-don't…" he said as Yami now pushed his legs open and his hot and old hands were crawling under his underwear. Ayase's face turned bright red as he felt how a finger caressed his female part and when he felt how the shorts were pulled down he tried to close his legs again.
All the effort was a waste of time. Yami gave a shocked look at the boy's lower part. Noticing that he had both the genitals.
"This is not normal…" he said as he caressed the boy's length slowly. Ayase turned away, feeling disgusted at the touches the man gave him.
"Just shut up, Yami! Do it!" Trey yelled and Ayase heard the lust in his voice while he pressed the knife a bit further in the boy's skin.
"Uu…" the blonde moaned and Yami immediately told Trey to hold the knife a bit further. Trey smiled at that, placing his lips closer to the boy's ear and saying softly.
"I can't wait to hear you scream…" the blonde closed his eyes, feeling how another pain welled up in his belly and he prayed. He prayed for Kanou-san to come save him as soon as possible.
Kanou knocked on the door loudly, for the third time already when it was finally opened by a young lady. She had long red hair and freckles and her thick lips curled into a smile as she greeted the three strangers in front of her house.
"Can I help you?" she asked kindly.
"Are you Kozaku Mai?" Kanou asked darkly, which made the girl's smile disappear. She nodded slowly.
"Yes…" she answered. Kanou smiled now, looking up in the girl's bright blue eyes. The girl backed off when she saw the red glow in the stranger's eyes. Kanou nodded clearly and in a flash his two employees grabbed the girl around her arms.
They pushed her against the wall, binding her arms together and putting a bag over her head. She screamed loudly under it and Kanou couldn't help but hit her against the head.
"Sir! You wouldn't hurt her!" Homare yelled as he looked towards his boss. Kanou gave him a furious look and the eldest of the two immediately noticed the bright red glow in his eyes.
"I don't feel pity." he said and he grinned widely before stretching his hand and pointing it towards the girl. "Take her to the car, now." the twins nodded and listened to their boss. Kanou took a deep breath, feeling how it became hard to control his Kotodama. The girl had the brightest eyes just like his angel. He closed his eyes, breathing out slowly and feeling how the thought of Ayase made his Kotodama disappear.
"Boss! We're ready." Misao yelled. Kanou turned to the voice, feeling how the cold wind blew against his face and through his hair.
"I'm coming." he replied and he quickly ran to the car.
Kanou pressed the girl against the car seat, removing the bag from her head. She stared towards him, tears overflowing in her eyes and the fear was readable everywhere on her body.
"What do you want…?" she asked sobbingly.
"I want your father… where is he?" Kanou asked. She stared toward the man in front of her and shook her head.
"I don't know… he went of this morning… with Trey." the tears ran down her face.
"Trey?" Kanou asked. "Who's Trey?"
The girl shook her head, turning away from Kanou. In another rage he turned her head back to him, feeling the Kotodama rise again.
"Listen, bitch! I don't have that much time. I've been wasting three hours finding you. Now you tell me where the fuck your father is or I swear to God, you'll suffer more then I expected you to."
"I don't know where he is… he left to do some business with Trey… my husband. This morning." she sobbed loudly. Kanou felt how the anger made tears well up in his eyes too. His Ayase was wherever her father was. His child was wherever Ayase was and his one and only clue was a dead end. It became too much. Again he thought of what could happen with his angel. Or better yet… angels and to his own and the twin's astonishment he let go of the girl's face and the Kotodama left his body once again.
The light blue eyes of the girl stared towards her captor and she noticed how an empty and sorrowful look appeared in his eyes.
"What did he do now?" she asked, feeling pity for her captor. Kanou looked up, staring towards the girl who, even after all she had been through up until now, gave an encouraging smile. Another tear escaped from her baby blue eyes as the smile widened and she placed her tied hands over Kanou's.
The dark eyes of Kanou stared back in hers and she pinched the warm and large hand of Kanou's slightly. Kanou shook his head. This girl reminded him so much of his lost boy. If only she had blonde hair he would for once have surely been crying.
"You're kidnapped and still you're kind to me. You remind me of my boyfriend." he said. The girl kept smiling, not feeling any strangeness in the word 'boyfriend'.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Your father has kidnapped my boy and that includes my child. And I have seven hours left to find them or they're dead." her face now turned into confusedness. Probably because she figured that this man had a pregnant boyfriend.
"You're the one who stole his money, aren't you?" she asked seriously.
"I don't call it stealing. I call it being clever." Kanou said, smiling.
"I don't blame you. I hate my dad and when he asked me to sign those documents one day I denied to. So he stole one of my personal documents and copied my autograph. I never heard of him after that until this morning. He needed my husband for something and I hate my husband just as much. My father forced me to marry him, he said that money wouldn't certainly be any problem if I married him. He was so wrong. My life sucks, but I can't let you kill my father 'cause even after all he did. He loves me."
"I'm not going to kill him, unless he hurts Ayase."
"Ayase's your… pregnant boyfriend?" she asked and she smiled.
"Yeah, sounds weird, I know. But it's hard to explain." Kanou replied.
"He's in this district." Mai said. Kanou stared towards her. "I bet he's only a few houses away from my place. He's been stalking me lately, so… I can take you to him. But I want something in return." she said. Kanou grinned.
"I like your stile. What do you want?" he said.
"I want you to kill Trey." she said darkly. "Just as painful as he killed our daughter." Kanou stared towards her as another tear appeared in the beautiful blue eyes and he pinched the girl's hand now.
"Trust me on this one. When a Kotodama gets angry, you better run." he said. The girl smiled now and Kanou released her hands.
"Drive." she said. "You'll be there in ten minutes."
Ayase stared towards the ceiling, shocked, scared and utterly disgusted. Shocked because he had found out what it felt like to cry and he didn't die. A Kami usually dies when he or she cries. They can only create liquid other then saliva only once and that's before they die. But he was still alive… not that he felt that much alive at all.
His legs trembled at the scared feeling, as he felt another liquid running down his thigh and was unable to guess whether it was blood or… another tear ran down his face as he thought of what just happened once again and he heard two voices in the far distance.
"Why can't I do him, ha? Mai will never find out!" Trey said.
"You shut it!" Yami said as he zipped up his pants. "You won't betray my daughter! You're lucky enough that you got married to her."
"Ah, screw you." Trey whispered, walking towards the boy and kneeling down next to him. He smiled widely as he forced the boy to look at him by pulling him up with his hair.
"Uu…" the boy groaned, feeling how sitting up made the liquid literally stream out of his body.
"Well aren't you lucky…" Trey said. "I would never be that kind to a gorgeous one like you."
"Trey! Stop it!" Yami yelled, pushing him away from Ayase and feeling slightly jealous at the thought that someone else touched the boy. Now that he had tasted the delicious insides of him he couldn't bare the thought that someone else also wanted to try that.
"What the hell's your problem?" Trey said as he stood back up, dropping the boy to the floor, which made the boy move a bit. As the two man grabbed each other and started a fight the blonde noticed that the whole back of his dress was wet. He groaned softly a as a cramp appeared inside of his abdomen and he grabbed onto it tightly."Ah…" he moaned as the cramp became slightly worse.
"Son of a…" Trey whispered as he spit out some blood and hit his father in law hard on the cheek.
"S-stop… Aww." Ayase tried, searching for some sort of help to stop this pain from getting any worse, but the two men did not notice him. Ayase cried again, closing his eyes and trying to ignore the pain. The fact that the entire back of his dress was wet and it wasn't semen or blood couldn't mean anything right. It was way to soon… he thought before crying out for help again.
And his wish was served.
The door opened with a loud sound and a foursome entered the room. Kanou first, quickly followed by the twins.
His dark eyes stared from the two man with a half crippled face to the boy behind them. His hands were tied by chains, just like his feet and the first thing he noticed was the red colour by his backside. In a quickly appearing anger he pushed the two men against the wall, one man carried by each hand. The red glow appeared quickly as he pinched his hands together while holding their throats.
"Let me help you finish this fight…" he whispered darkly.
"Sir!" one of the twins yelled and Kanou lowered his grip only to gave the one who created the sound a furious look.
"What?" he yelled.
"We don't have time. Ayase isn't only bleeding…" Mai said, who was now sitting next to the boy and Kanou stared at his angel as he groaned painfully. Mai smiled.
"He's giving birth. His water's broken." she said. Kanou's stared with an open mouth, dropping the two men to the floor and running towards his boy.
He held a small and delicate hand in both of his and pinched softly.
"Kuba, take care of these two." he said and the twins immediacy applied their master's request. "I want you to lock them up somewhere so I can handle them later."
Mai stared towards the man who clearly was worried. Kanou then looked up to her.
"I don't know what to do… take him away to hospital, will you do that for me?" Kanou asked. Mai nodded.
"I'll do what I can." she said. Kanou kissed Ayase's cheek softly and then carried him to the car in a hurry.
"Can you drive?" he asked the girl. She shook her head. Kanou cursed softly as the girl placed herself into the car and lay the blonde boy's head on her lap. He cried heavily, his eyes closed sharply and his voice only creating sounds of pain.
"Misao!" Kanou yelled, and the youngest of the twins quickly appeared out of the house.
"Take them to the nearest hospital, now…" he said. "And tell Ayase I'll be there as soon as I can." he added sorrowfully.
"Yes, sir." Misao replied an he hurried into the car, starting it and driving off.
He then felt how his Kotodama was rising more and more. It didn't stop. Every muscle in his body was screaming for a fight. His eyes turned the brightest red one could imagine and his hair turned as black as the night as he turned back to the house, his hand already stretched out to make the two men suffer as much as Ayase did.
He entered the room, where both men were tied up to a chair, a gun against both their temples, which was held by Homare. The twin of course backed of at the extreme Kotodama sight of his boss. Kanou held out both of his hands as he saw how the two men shrieked away in fear.
"Who did it?" he asked and both he and Kuba now also noticed the change of his voice. It turned even lower than it already was. Both the men were silenced.
"I'm ordering you to tell me who raped my boy…" again they both were silenced.
"Fine. Then prepare to suffer just as much as your daughters did." Kanou smiled at his own joke.
"Every little bone in your bodies…. I'm ordering them to break into tiny little pieces… your brains will became pure liquid and all of your muscles will burn like hell. Once me and my employee are out of here."
The two men looked terrified as Kanou knelt next to them.
"I can't wait to hear you scream." he whispered, staring towards Trey especially. Somehow, he knew that Trey had said that to his angel. Kanou then stood up, showing a sign to his employee to put away his guns and follow him outside of the house.
"I enjoyed it, Kanou-kun!" Yami yelled right before Kanou left the room. The man turned. "I bet his female part was still virgin." Yami smiled. Kanou smiled back.
"I knew it was you." Kanou said. "I just promised your daughter I'd make you both suffer." Yami stared towards Kanou with shock.
"And just to let you know, your granddaughter didn't die because she fell down the stairs of whatever lie you daughter told you… the man sitting next to you beat her to death." Yami looked towards Trey now.
"Like I said…" Kanou whispered with a grin. "You will suffer." and he then left the house for sure.
Walking next to his employee, he ordered him to halt a taxi, both followed by the horrible screams coming from the house.
Three cuts appeared in the man's face at once as the red glow disappeared from his eyes. As he stroke his sleeve to the back he noticed another cut in his lower arm. He smiled proudly. His mission succeeded.
"Boss. The taxi's here!" Homare yelled and Kanou now for the first time remembered his boy, who was giving birth to his baby at this very moment.
Ayase needed him. That was enough to make him hurry to the nearest hospital.
"Please let me be with him!" Mai said loudly.
"I'm sorry, only the father or family can be with her while giving birth." the nurse said back calmly.
"Please, I'm begging you. I promised the father to be there." she asked again but the woman again denied.
"You can watch from behind glass. I can't do anything else." and of course, Mai applied.
Misao waited exactly where he was as he dialled a number. Not from his brother, not from his boss. But from the boy's father. If his boss was busy taking care of those guys and he would disturb them, he would be dead, so he decided that the boy needed someone to look after him.
"Hello, this is Waki, how can I help?"
"Waki-san, Ayase's giving birth in Harajuku's main hospital. How fast can you get here?" but the line was already cut off before Waki could answer.
The blonde saw nurses all around him, placing needles in his arms which carried both water and blood through his body, but nowhere there was a Kanou to be seen. Nowhere.
Another woe appeared and the boy groaned loudly wanting a hand to pinch or someone next to him that would take care of him. His face was sticky because of the tears and he felt who the doctors placed his feet onto a higher part, spreading his legs wide open. He blushed deeply, feeling scared at the sight of only strangers looking at the place he wanted to hide more then anything.
"K-Kanou-san!" he screamed suddenly.
"Please, miss, be calm." a nurse now said, grabbing the boy's hand and pinching it. "Your husband's unable to get here now, but I'll be here all the time." she said. Ayase shook his head.
"I want Kanou…" he whispered. The nurse gave him a sad look.
"I'm sorry." she said and she looked towards the doctor as the boy's face changed back into pure pain.
"No! Ah! Make it stop!" Ayase screamed feeling how his entire abdomen cramped together. The nurse gave the doctor a hopeful look.
"Not yet." he said. "He has only reached six inches of digestion, we have four more to go." the nurse felt how the boy pinched her hand hard and he begged for a release when a hand grabbed her shoulder. She turned around, letting go of the boy's hand and facing the man in front of her.
He had dark brown eyes, was about two feet longer then her and had three deep cuts in his cheeks which looked like they had to be taken care of soon.
"Can I help…?" she asked. Kanou smiled.
"I'm the father." he sighed. "Please let me hold his hand." the lady step aside, letting Kanou kneel next to his angel.
Ayase's blue eyes stared towards the man next to him.
"K-Kanou…" he said softly and he smiled weakly.
"It'll be fine. Just relax." Kanou replied, placing a kiss on the boy's hand.
"It's too soon…" Ayase said sobbingly.
"Don't think about that. It'll be fine." Kanou replied, stroking the sweaty blonde hairs of his boy.
"Ayase…" he then whispered and the boy looked towards him.
"…Yes…?" he asked.
"I'm sorry I was late." Ayase smiled kindly.
"Don't think about that." he imitated. "It'll be fine." he then closed his eyes and slightly breathed in and out as another woe appeared. Kanou felt his heart break at the sight in front of him. There was nothing he could do. The boy had to do it by himself.
"We have nine inches of digestion. You're lucky it's going fast." the nurse said towards the couple in front of her. Kanou smiled towards her.
"It's going to be a lively baby." Kanou replied.
"It is. Your wife's doing great." she said.
"You probably noticed that it's not really a girl." Kanou said with a grin.
"He's a boy originally." the woman said. "But I don't know whether to call him a boy or a girl." Kanou laughed a bit.
"He's my boy." he whispered so only Ayase could hear.
"Ten inches!" the doctor yelled. "We're ready." Kanou looked up from the blue eyes of Ayase.
"You heard that?" he asked the blonde and Ayase nodded, trembling heavily in the bed and pinching in Kanou's hand.
"Just push whenever the doctor tells you to. It'll be over soon now." Kanou said staring towards the nurses and doctors, who prepared for the big event.
"Kanou-san…" Ayase whispered and Kanou now looked towards the angel again. And never he had been in love like this. The boy looked exhausted, pale and had big bags under his eyes, but never had his face gleamed like this. The bright light was reflected in his big blue and teary eyes, his golden hairs were sweaty and hung against his face and his little delicate lips were curled into the most beautiful smile Kanou had ever seen.
"We'll be parents soon." he said and a tear ran down his cheek. Kanou smiled back, placing a kiss on the small lips and hoped everything would be fine when the boy suddenly let out another painful sound.
"Okay, you can push now!" the doctor said.
"Go on, Ayase, take a deep breath." Kanou said softly and Ayase did exactly what both men said before giving all he got and dropping back onto the bed.
"Very good… another." the doctor repeated. Ayase shook his head lightly before again giving everything within his power.
"This going really good. We can already see the head." a nurse said.
"This is the fastest birth I've ever been with…" another said.
"One more… just one more." the doctor said, full of disbelieve and again the blonde pushed, ignoring every terrible pain in his body and right before he dropped back onto the bed a loud crying sound was audible in the room. Both Ayase and Kanou turned their heads towards a nurse who was holding the baby preciously in her arms. Another asked Kanou whether he wanted to cut the navel cord but Kanou simply couldn't reply. He just stared towards the baby.
The nurse put a towel around the little child and placed it into Ayase's arms.
"It's a girl." the nurse said and she smiled towards the small blonde boy who was holding the crying child tightly with the cutest smile Kanou could ever imagine.
"Congratulations." someone said, but Kanou didn't pay attention to them. Only to the two angels in front of him. He step closer, sitting on the edge of the bed as he watched Ayase kissing the forehead of their little girl.
And he cried. He felt how tear ran down his face at the sight in front of him. It were his child and his Ayase, together. Ayase then looked up from the baby towards his master, who clearly was crying. He never imagined the Kotodama user looking like that but the sight did seem appealing.
"We'll leave you." the nurses said, leaving the already cleaned room.
"You want to hold her, Kanou-san?" Ayase asked. Kanou nodded slowly, unable to say anything. Ayase smiled at the sight and placed the little girl in the other's arms. She immediately settled down in Kanou's arms. She had blonde hair, just like her mother and now yawned loudly before snuggling closer in her father's warmth.
"Were parents, Kanou-san." Ayase said and Kanou looked towards Ayase while the boy wiped away his master's tears.
"Lets call her 'Hoshiko', Kanou… just like a star, but then smaller." Ayase smiled towards the man.
"Yes, I like that." Kanou now replied, his voice trembling a bit because of his crying.
Ayase giggled softly and then lay back down. Just as tired as the little girl was.
"I'm exhausted." Ayase said.
"I'll take care of her… I'll be here all the time." Kanou said and Ayase turned towards him.
"I know you will." he whispered back when a nurse re-entered the room.
"I'm here to change the sheets, to help you and to clean up the… lets just say, the rest." she smiled towards the couple with the newly born child.
"She's one gorgeous thing, isn't she?" she said. Kanou smiled towards her and Ayase nodded briefly.
"She is…" he whispered and he stared into the dark eyes of his master.
"Well, congratulations, both of you." the nurse said, but neither Kanou nor Ayase listened as they were carried away by each other. Never had they been so happy. This was perfect. Kanou, Ayase and Hoshiko. It sounded perfect. They had a child. Finally.
So, how do you like the name 'Hoshiko'? It literally means: child of the stars. I thought it'd fit in the story. :)
I really love the idea of Kanou and Ayase having a baby and I hope I described the birth scene good enough...
Please tell me what you think!
Please review!
Love ya! ~
