Chapter 15, long time no see

About one week after Ryumaru and Knives retrieved the innosence, their group made it to the H.Q. And they were in for a hell of a suprise when they entered the building. Especialy Kit. As for finding out what this suprise is, you'll have to wait until the group of five exorcists enter the large stone building.

The party walked up the front path to where Gate Keeper was. The giant face opened the door for them when they stopped infront of it. The instant Kit stepped into the castle-like building, she was glomped by a girl of whom she hadn't seen since the day she attemtped to run away from home.

"KIT! I haven't seen you in, like, forever!" the girl said when she had finnished glomping her friend.

"Emoen ((A/N: pronounced eh-mo-en. The first 'E' is said like the 'e' in 'elf.' Thank you))! Long time, no see! I've missed you!" Kit said back.

Emoen was a girl the same age as Kit with red hair like Kit, only Emoen's was longer and tied back in a braid about three feet long, and violet colored eyes. She had asked for her coat to be like a hoody, and she wore a pair of baggy cargo pants along with a pair of sneekers as her shoes. Emoen took a moment to look her best friend up and down.

"You seem different. I'm not sure what it is yet, but something's different about you," she said in a matter-of-fact tone. Then Emoen's eyes fell upon Kit's bulging belly. "WHAT HEPPENED TO YOUR BELLY!!!! IT'S HUGE!!!"

"I'll tell you what happened." Kit pointed at Allen. "He did."

Emoen's eyes widened in understanding. Her hands came up to her mouth. "You mean, you two did the wacky? And now you're big! DUDE!"

Kit slapped her hand over her friend's mouth. "SHHH! Not so loud! There are some people in this place I would rather not know! His name happens to be Komui Li."

"Oh, him. The dude who won't shut up about some guy named 'Allen Walker,' am I right?" Emoen asked.

"Yeah. The reason we don't want Komui to know, is because, well, Allen did this," Kit said, placing her hand on her stomach. "Any way, Em, how did you get to be here?"

"Well..."

"Me n' Yuu-chan went on a mission together to America after you and Allen left on your's, and when she saw Yuu-chan, she decided to cling onto his arm and not let go, even when we came back. Whe we went to see Hevlaska about the innosence we retrieved, an innosence came out of Hev, and floated to Emoen and became her weapon. Whew," Lavi told the story for Emoen.

"Yeah, what he said. Any way, Kit, I think you should tell Komui about your pregnancy as soon as you can. I don't think he'll kill you.

"All right. I'll tell him now. With the assistance of Allen, of corse." said boy groaned. Celeste walked up to Kit and grabbed her sleeve.

"I wanna go with you, big sis!"

Kit took one look at Celeste and hugged the girl, squeeling about cuteness. After that, the six people (Emoen, Knives, and Ryumaru decided to come along too) went down to Komui's office.

But they were stopped by Kanda when he saw Ryumaru.

"Is that you, Ryu?" Kanda asked.

"Yuu? I haven't seen you in how many years?" The two men embraced much in the way friends who haven't seen each other for five years do. Well, okay, so that's also exaclty what they were. Friends who haven't seen each other in five or more years.

Kit stared at them in confusion. She turned to Ryumaru. "You never said you knew Kanda," said the red head.

"Well, I didn't know you knew Yuu," Ryumaru said back.

"Hey, Yuu-chan, why is it that he can call you Yuu and not get mugen to the throught?" Lavi asked.

"Because I've known him ever since we were children and living in Japan. You, however, did not."

"But can I still call ya Yuu-chan?"

"No."

It was then that the group, which now included Kanda, continued on their journey to Komui's office. When they entered the room, they were greeted with a site that is seen way too often. Komui sleeping at his desk rather than doing his work. Allen whispered the magic words in the ear of the Chinese man, who responded in the same way he always did. This caused everyone in the room to sweat drop.

When Knives saw the face of Komui, it was as if she could hear a chorus of angels in the back ground. This man was the most handsome she had ever seen, and it was love at first site.

"I am the one known as Knives, but, for you, I will make an exceptian for what you call me. You can call me Gracia, for that is my name," Knives said to Komui, who was practicaly cowering in the corner. This was a very intimidating woman. Especialy for a gay man like Komui.

"Down, Knives," Ryumaru tried to pull Knives away from the Chinese man cowering in the corner.

"Yeah. I've got a message I need to tell him!" Kit said, placing her hands on her stomach in a loving manor.

And so the scene went back as to how it normaly would be, only Knives' eyes were hearts.

"So, Kit, what is it that you want to tell me?"

Kit looked at her lap, searching for the right words to say. "Well, you know when Allen had retrieved me in America, right?"

"Yes."

"And then we were the only ones on the ship back, besides the crew?"

"Yes."

"Well, about a week into the trip, Allen and I had spent the night together, and well..." Kit's words trailed off here. The red head was now rubbing her belly.

Komui just stared at Kit, eyes widened to the size of golf balls. He now realized why Kit had been so cruel to Allen after their night together, and why Lenalee had helped the girl. He had put this girl and her not yet born child in danger. His heart beat fast with a mixture of fear and anger, mostly fear. He opened his mouth to speak, but the words wouldn't come out.

Kit was afraid that Komui was going to ask Kit to abort the birth. "Please, let me keep the child! I'm too far into the pregnancy to just stop where I am!" Tears rolled down her face. "I don't want to lose it!"

Komui rubbed his temples with his thumb and forefinger to try to regain his composure. "I wasn't going to make you. All I want to say is, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I had spent that night with Allen after you two came back."

Kit looked at Komui. The tears had stopped falling, but her face was still wet. "Thank you so much for letting me keep my child." Allen cleared his throat. Kit looked at him. "Our child." Allen was now pleased. He did have a part in the existance of the child.

"Now," Komui was now back to his more serious like self. "Because of what you have done, we will not abort this pregnancy, but, we must have the two of you wed by the end of this month. This way, the child will not be born into sin. Is this fine with the two of you?"

"Yes!" the two said in unison.

"Alright. Make the plans, and remember, it's to be done by the end of the month. The sooner the better." Kit and Allen nodded. Komui turnned to Kit once more. "So, how far are you in?" he asked, a father like smile on his face.

"About five months," Kit answered bluntly, as if they were exchanging coments about the weather.

"Ah. And have you chosen its god perents yet?" Komui asked in a way that clearly said 'I could be a good god father!'

"Well, no, but I have an idea for the god mother." Kit turnned to Emoen. "Emoen!"

Emoen smiled at her best friend. "I'd be glad to! 'Specialy for you!"

"Thank you!" Kit then turnned to Allen. "Who do you think the god father should be?"

"I was thinking either Lavi or Komui," Allen answered.

Lavi and Komui both said that they'd be glad to at the same time. Because of this, they wound up deciding by playing 'rock, paper, scisers.' The only problem was that they wound up with a tie EVERY time they showed their selection. So as a solution to this, they flipped a coin. Lavi was the winner, so Lavi was chosen as the god father of the child.
