Hey-o! It's me again! Sorry for the long wait on the update, but it took me forever to write this story. FOREVER! Which is kind of... insulting to my mind oO; But, in any case, now I'm writing two fics at once (the other being "Invitations" my Peacemaker fic - give it a read xD) so updates might be a bit slow. But... I'm still out of inspiration! I mean, come on! There must be some situation you want to see your favourite characters in! I don't care who it is! (Discluding Rin and Kureno).

Disclaimer: Don't own it. Never will. Stop pestering me about it.

Ralph – Pregnant?

"Isn't Ralph just the cutest thing?" Akito asked Hatori, grinning from ear to ear as he poked the (replaced) plastic cup in the side, making a small dint. "I think he's adorable."

"Yes, Akito, he's wonderful. Now, would you please stay still so I can give you the shot."

"DON'T WANT IT!" Akito declared, even though his other hand was placed firmly in Shigure (who had been called over to hold Akito's hand while he got a blood test and two injections).

"Akito, would you be a good boy, for Gure?"

Akito turned in Shigure's direction, and grinned. "Okie!"

Hatori however, could have sunk in his own misery. He was the only person who saw Akito every single freaking day, and yet he only did what the dog said. It kind of reminded him of Ayame. Kind of. Not really.

"Itai! Itai! Gure-san, itai!"

"Ha'ri, don't you think you could be more careful with Akito?" Shigure asked, tilting his head at Hatori. Hatori blinked, and extracted the needle – that only had a few droplets of drug left in it.

"I was being as gentle as I could." Hatori muttered, before looking at the syringe. "Oh. I used the wrong drug. Oh well."

"Ano… Gure-san… Ralph's been getting fatter lately."

How Akito could tell that Ralph was getting fatter was beyond both Hatori and Shigure. For one, each time Akito poked him, he pushed in some of Ralph's plastic – if anything, Akito should be telling them that he'd become anorexic.

"I think he's going to have babies!" Akito declared, grinning. Both Hatori and Shigure twitched.

"Babies?" The asked in unison.

"Babies!" Akito declared. Clearly Akito didn't understand the anatomy of males – males didn't have babies. Or… was it that Shigure and Hatori didn't understand the anatomy of a Party cup?

"How close do you think he is?" Shigure asked, putting on mock concern – that of course Akito fell for.

"I think he'll have it today!"

Hatori and Shigure sweat dropped, and looked in each others direction. Then, Hatori stood up. "If you'll excuse me for a moment, I suppose we'd better get ready for it."

Akito failed to notice that Hatori took his car keys with him, Shigure on the other hand breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is he going to have them?" Shigure asked when Hatori was gone – better to play along with Akito than to go against him.

"Well, Hatori is a doctor right? I think he'll bring towels and stuff!"

"Oh. Okay."

Hatori returned 20 minutes later, and it appeared that Akito was terrified. He was looking at Ralph, the party cup, and he was sweating. "HATORI! RALPH'S IN LABOUR!"

Oh boy. Hatori thought, twitching. Kneeled beside the cup, and picked it up, and placed a towel under him. Again, Akito failed to notice something Hatori did – he placed a pack of 5 miniature paper party cups behind his back.

In Akito's mind, it didn't take very long for Ralph to actually give birth to the party cups. Unfortunately, he didn't actually get a chance to see Ralph popping out the cups – seeing as each time Hatori would shout, "Look over there!" and Akito would look, and when he looked back, there was another one of Ralph's children on the towel. (During that time, of course, when Akito had looked away, Hatori took one cup out of the packet and placed it on the towel. Shigure found this hilarious, and told them he had to use the bathroom, but there were reports afterwards of him laughing stupidly, and almost drowning in the toilet.)

"Is it over?" Akito asked quietly, looking with pride over his new 'family'.

"Yeah, it's over." Hatori said. I've run out of cups, anyway.

"Wow! He's a Daddy! I bless these babies under…"

In Hatori's mind, Akito's voice was fading away. He was tired, he was hungry, he was all around annoyed that he had to spend $5 on cups that were half the size of the normal ones, and he didn't have the brain power to listen to Akito bless them on behalf of the Party Cup God.

Three weeks later

Akito looked sadly over the towel that Ralph's babies had once occupied. Hatori had found good homes for all the babies (of course, this was in his garbage can), and Akito was feeling a bit lonely. But… during that time, an idea had struck him – he planned to breed Ralph!

When Hatori had found out, he'd left the room in a huff, muttering something about "wasting money on mini cups that cost double that of normal cups…"

This was a short story. See how much I'm lacking, inspirational wise?
