Hello anybody reading this!
Lucky.Syuusuke.Yukimura- Yep! In the story it is currently the twelfth of October, so Yuushi's birthday is three days away and Yagyuu's is seven days away. Technically, Fuji is going to lay an egg, but yeppers, it's a kid nonetheless.
Wizli- Thank you! I was really nervous about the IkasuAkayaBunta, but it seemed to work out well, so I'm happy! Also, Baby-san should be fun.
LoveWriterMaiko- Sure, I'll be your little sister! I'm honored! May I call you Ne-chan?
ShadowinRW- Yay! Kinky Threesome Sex! Yay! Glad you like!
DarkDemonCat- Yes, Bunta still has powers! Thanks for the review!
ScribbledDreams- Ikasu and Bunta both have the power now. I'm very glad that you're giving my story a chance. -Bows.- Thank you very much!
RaiPhoenix015- I can't believe you get out of school on rainy days! No fair! Than again, if I got out on rainy days, I'd hardly ever get to go to school. Wait... RAIN, DAMMIT, RAIN!!!!!!!! -Sigh- I suppose it's too much to ask. I couldn't answer reviews because all but four of them were guesses about Fuji being Preggy... Too dangerous! -Laugh.- Yay! Niou-kun won an award! Yay! I like Niou-kun a lot, I think he's awesome! As for Yukimura, have you ever seen Ouran High school Host Club? If you have, then think of Honey and Kyoya when they wake up. That's Yukimura. I really love that Ikasu and Bunta got to split. Those two... Well, you SAW how I figured they would act together... -Laughs.- Too much fun! Thanks, also, for catching my typo! Hahaha, not sure how I managed that... I might end up needing a BETA for the sequel... Yeah, and just so you know, when I was your age, I used to make sure that people knew my age when they read my stories or visited my websites and stuff. My thoughts were 'either they can except that I'm young and just as smart as them, or they can leave now'. Haha, so, yeah, my point is, I get the discrimination thing. Been there, done that. I just stopped caring though!
Kx- Thank you! Please read on to see how Kunimitsu reacts.
BloodySamurai- I-i-inspiration?! WOW! AWESOME! I deserve some sushi! A party! -Throws a minute long party in her kitchen.- Wow, thank you, I'm... Honored!
Shimizu Miki- Okay, to answer your questions- the baby will be half bird, half human, as both of it's parents are half human and half bird, as for what kind of bird, I dunno yet. Yes, Fuji's DNA if from a female bird. Yes, the egg will be large enough to hold something about the size of a human baby (Poor Fuji!). The egg will be kept warm by Fuji and a heater that will be placed in the room 24/7. Fuji will have the time to do so, because their Doctor Hatchett will get him out of school until the eggs hatch. The hatching process of both Fuji's and Tezuka's bird types take about 19-20 days, and it will only be a few more days until they are laid, because of the Avian DNA.
ImmortalTigeress- Well, if it wasn't like a bird, I'd have no excuse to do it! -Laughs.-
Sakimi1014- Yep, Fuji's gonna lay an egg. Weird, ne? -
RavI- Because I didn't write it that way! See, children? You should always use protection, mm'kay? Because you never know what could happen. -Chuckles darkly.-
AnuneFan412- Um... I can't tell... Is it a good or bad thing that he's laying an egg?
KiriharaAkaya- Okay, I give in! I'll write it! Lemon... Lemony FRESH!
Sweet Obsidian Rain- Very glad that you liked it. -Bows.-
Animestar73- Yes, it will be an egg. It will be half bird, because both of it's parents are half birds. As for the antagonist... You will discover the identity of Tezuka's kidnapper/rapist, but there really isn't another antagonist that comes into play. He's only mentioned an discovered.
Vierblith- Being ovoviviparous simply isn't possible because of the bird portion of his genes, which is what created and maintains the pregnancy. Also, I'll go check out your new fic, I'm sure it's fantastic!
Kawaii-Gaara-Chan- -Looks at review again.- Wow. Enthusiastic. Ano... Thank you!
ForbiddenStars- -Frowns- Why would you rather Ikasu not come out?
Tara- -Bows.- Arigatou gozaimasu!
Disclaimer- I do not own Prince of Tennis

"You're alright, aren't you?" Kunimitsu asked worriedly, taking a visibly shaken tensai into his arms. Fuji was crying softly and Kunimitsu wanted so badly to know what was wrong. He held his tongue however, leading Fuji back to the bed and rocking him gently while he waited for the other boy to talk to him.
"Mitsu?"
"Yes, Love?"
"Promise me something?"
"Anything."
"Promise you won't ever hate me or leave me?"
"Oh Shusuke," he tightened his grip, "You know that I could never hurt you and leaving you would kill me." If he was worried before, his anxiety rose about seventy three notches.
"Kunimitsu, I--" Fuji took another deep breath. He couldn't say it. He sighed and took Fuji's hand, pulling it so that it rested on his stomach. He was already rounder, though he hadn't noticed it before today. It was only a little bit, but it was proof of the life inside of him. He wasn't worried, though. Dr. Hatchett had already explained to him about the very short term of pregnancy for a bid, and he was expecting to lay his egg any day now. He would start showing more each day and then... Fuji wasn't sure what would happen when his child was actually born, but he knew that when it happened, he would know what to do, he figured.
"Shuu, what are you--"
"Shh," Fuji shushed, "Do you love me?"
"You know that I do."
"You want children, don't you?"
"I told you that I do, Shusuke. Are you still worried about that?"
Fuji ignored the question. "What would you say if I told you that we can have our own, if you want it?"
Kunimitsu took a moment, feeling flabbergasted. "You're...?"
"Mm-hmm," Fuji said, watching Kunimitsu with guarded eyes. "I'm oviparous."
"Kami-sama..." Kunimitsu said, laying down, low enough in the bed that he could lay his head gently on Fuji's stomach. With his advanced hearing, he could hear the smallest of heart beats. "Kami-sama..." He looked up at Fuji, an unspoken question in his eyes. Fuji didn't really know what he was being asked.
"Do you want it?" he asked.
"Do you?"
"... I'm not sure. I mean, yes, but... I have my doubts... I don't know if I'm ready to have kid, you know?"
"I understand," Kunimitsu nodded. He moved up on the bed again and kissed Fuji's mouth softly. "Think about it, Love. If you want this baby, we'll keep it. Things will work out. I promise you." He kissed Fuji's forehead, "I love you." He smiled and moved down again to kiss Fuji's stomach. "You too."
Fuji smiled a little bit at Kunimitsu kissing his stomach, and then looked confused as the other stood up. "Where are you going?"
"A little flight around the grounds," Kunimitsu gave him the smile that he kept just for Fuji, "Go ahead and think on things, Shuu, talk to Kikumaru or Yuta, whatever you need to do. I'll wait for your decision."
"... Love you, Mitsu."
"Love you too."
And then Kunimitsu was gone.

"It's weird... Isn't it?" Momo said, as he and Ryoma sat on his bed in their room. "To think about it, I mean, that you could get..."
"Pregnant." Ryoma said the word that Momo was currently avoiding.
"And that Fuji-senpai is..."
"Pregnant."
"I know!"
"... Why won't you say it?"
"I dunno... I think I just need to get used to it. How about you?"
Ryoma shrugged. "Enough strange things have happened to my body recently, so it's kind of hard to think of this as that strange. The tail freaked me out a little more, I think."
Momo chuckled. "It'd be great to have children someday, wouldn't it?" Momo's face twisted into a daydreaming-smile and then he snapped back to Earth, "Not that I'm saying we have to-- Or that we'll even be--"
Ryoma silenced him with a kiss. "It might be nice. Someday."
Momo just went back to smiling.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Can we get any more surprises today?" Ikasu groaned.
"It's not like they've been bad," Bunta frowned. "I like the idea of being able to have kids someday."
"Speak for yourself," Ikasu snapped, "You don't have to go through with it if something happens, right Kid?"
"Actually," Akaya grinned, and he hadn't stopped grinning since the end of the doctors appointment (where Ikasu and Bunta had refused to leave their young lover's side), "I agree with Bunta, I like the idea."
"Kid! I though you'd be on my side!"
Akaya frowned only slightly, and even that didn't last long against his crazy-happy mood. "Think about it, Ika, we could do it together."
Ikasu frowned, but it was more of a thoughtful frown than before. He wasn't sure why he could bear children while Bunta couldn't, and Akaya seemed absolutely ecstatic at the thought of little kids running around someday. He sighed.
"If that's what you want," he smiled.
"There's only one problem," Bunta said, looking serious.
"Nani?" the two 'eventually-mothers' asked.
"How do we decide who gets to be the daddy each time?"
Akaya and Ikasu laughed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dan was very happy about the news that he could someday have kids of his own, despite being gay.
Akutsu was not so thrilled. Dan had managed to get the two of them together, as hard as Akutsu had made it, and though he couldn't deny that he definitely cared for the kid, there was no way he was taking their relationship to the next level, especially now.
"Akutsu-senpai?" Doe-like eyes of a certain Hamster-boy peered up at his from where the other had settled, laying on his chest one of the beds in their room.
"No." Dan just smiled and nuzzled his boyfriend's chest. He fell asleep soon after.
Akutsu swept a hand through the other's hair and sighed.
He wondered how long he would be able to say no to those eyes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This makes me nervous," Hanamura muttered, looking between Akira and Shinji. Tarou sighed, rubbing his temples. Akira chuckled nervously. This was bad. This was normally how is started, before parents started telling him something was wrong, normally something that was his fault. He didn't want to think that way, as Tarou had been nothing but kind to him throughout all of this. Then again, this might be a little too much. He and Shinji were finally getting to room together, and now this.
"It's nothing to worry about," Shinji said, "I mean, we normally switch off anyway and I don't mind taking bottom a little more often, but it's not like I want to be a total uke, and I don't think that Akira would like that anyway, but there are other methods--"
"Do you think birth control would work?" Hanamura asked. Tarou shoo his head.
"I doubt it," he sighed again, "after all, they're only capable of becoming... When they're in their half animal state, after all, so it would do no good."
"--Or there are condoms and stuff."
"I don't know..."
"Aoi, it would be unfair to separate them now."
"I know that. I agree, I'm just nervous. I'm still new to this mother thing, okay?"
"Of course. I'm nervous as well, but I trust the two of them to be responsible."
"Yes," Hanamura said, conviction in her voice. "I agree." She smiled kindly at the two boys, "Be careful okay, boys?"
Akira was stunned that it had gone so well, but grinned along with Shinji, taking the muttering boy's hand, as they both chorused, "Of course!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eiji couldn't stop giggling. He simply couldn't bring him to stop, and Oishi had gone from looking first shocked to now looking at Eiji like he had lost his mind. Eiji decided that it was time to let his partner in on the joke.
"It's funny isn't it? That it would be me and not you," Eiji chuckled, "I mean, you're the 'Mother of Seigaku', Oishi."
Oishi scowled a bit. Eiji shrugged.
"It's just ironic, don't you think?" Eiji gave his lover his 'winning smile' and Oishi smiled back.
"Maybe a little."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shi- Shishido-senpai?" Choutarou asked, looking a little worried.
Shishido shook his head, "Hnn? Oh, sorry Chou, just thinking."
"Are you... Okay?"
"Me, with you being able to have kids? I'm fine with it, Choutarou. I love you, you know." he smiled.
Choutarou smiled back, "What were you thinking about then?"
Shishido's grin turned awry. "How my old man won't have to worry about never having grandkids now."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jirou smiled and ran a finger along Atobe's left arm from where he lay on the other's chest.
"What are you thinking, Kei-chan?"
"Other than the fact that I now have a chance at an heir again, my childhood dream of marrying and having kids with Ji-chan is possible and I may just be happier than I've ever been, not counting the first time you told me you loved me? Nothing much."
"Certainly sounds like nothing," Jirou chuckled.
"What about you?" Atobe asked, and hand trailing over his love's cheek.
"Nothing much for me either. Pretty much stops at 'I love you'."
"You better be thinking about me."
Jirou just chuckled, "If you say so."
"... That response warrants torture by tickling."
"No!" Jirou squealed, jumping up from the bed in a futile attempt to escape his teasing boyfriend.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gakuto was more than little worried about being able to have a kid. First of all, he had given up on kids a long time ago, and the thought that it was now possible didn't seem to have hit him yet. Also, there were the shadows to consider, and the fact that if (or when, knowing Yuushi) they could hurt his kid. He would never be able to forgive himself if that happened.
"You're worrying." Yuushi's voice, light and happy, floated out over Gakuto and he shook his head wildly, trying to clear it.
"Am not."
"Are too," Yuushi chuckled, "See? Your twinkles are back again." Yuushi flicked the little worry-induced wrinkles on Gakuto's forehead. Gakuto scowled and pushed Yuushi backwards, but his doubles partner just chuckled. "What to talk to me?"
"Not really," Gakuto said, a slight smile on his face. "A kiss sounds nice though."
"Done deal."
It would all work out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaoru Kaido was in denial. Inui just smiled and nuzzled into the younger boy's neck.
"Do you want me to figure out how to reverse it now?"
Kaido thought for a moment and then smiled. "No."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You think this is funny, don't you?" Sanada asked, looking at Yukimura, seeming annoyed.
"It's not funny, I'm just happy," Yukimura smiled.
"Not funny? Ah, and the hour you spent laughing was...?"
"Okay, it was a little funny."
Sanada just frowned. Yukimura chuckled and pushed him back onto the bed. "Is it really so bad?"
"... I do have a reputation, Seiichi," Sanada said quietly, but didn't resist as Yukimura kissed him softly.
"I know, Gen, but thing's will work out," Yukimura smiled, "We can tell people it's me. That's probably what they would expect anyway. No one would even consider me as the seme anyway." Yukimura chuckled again.
"I certainly didn't expect it," Sanada growled.
"Ah," Yukimura smiled, his eyes opening, "You were a challenge. I loved it."
"I love you."
Yukimura's smile turned a little more genuine. "Love you too."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I have son about your age."
"Is it good?"
"He's not as good as you are though. No, not a good boy at all."
"Is it good?"
"Never become like that demon child of mine, okay?"
"Is it good?"
"Never leave me."
"Is it good?"
"I'm going to have to kill you now."
"Is it good?"
Kunimitsu woke up with a start, screaming at the after effects of the pain as well as his dream. Fuji was next to his side, a wet rag in hand, like every other night, but now he noticed there were people standing at the door. He groaned, thinking he must have screamed a lot louder than he had originally thought. Looking at Fuji, he thought about how they still hadn't talked about the baby. He offered his koishii a little smile.
"Sorry... Did I... Wake you?" Kunimitsu asked, his voice soft and raspy. He wondered if he had screamed his throat raw. It certainly felt like it.
"Today was... Bad, wasn't it, Buchou?" Taka's timid voice and sad eyes came at him from the doorway. Kunimitsu didn't say anything, just lay his head back again. He was used to dreaming when the pain came. He always dreamed. Of that time. Of that person.
The difference tonight had been that he'd seen a face. His face. God, he could remember his face.
It almost seemed as though he had never forgotten, the face of this person. He looked so familiar... Like he was someone that he still knew. But that simply wasn't possible.
He looked Fuji square in the eyes and whispered two words.
'I remember.'
