It had been the longest day of Lord Tsukune Aono's life. He went to look for Ruby when she failed to report for her duties. He found her chained to the wall, naked, and being flogged by an enormous shark-man. Tsukune was about to rip the shark-man's arms off and beat him to death with them, when Ruby insisted that this was her new boyfriend and that she had asked him to do it. Fortunately for both of them, Tsukune could tell whether a person was lying or not.

"Oh for the love of Pete…"

"Actually, my name is Tony."

"Be quiet…"

It wasn't long after this that Moka suddenly went into labor, and the whole of the Shuzen estate sprang to life.

"MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!" bellowed Aqua.

The next few hours were a blur, the one thing that penetrated the chaos was Moka thrashing about and screaming for dear life. They had been preparing for this day for weeks, but Tsukune still felt utterly helpless.

"Is this supposed to be happening?!" he asked trying to make his voice audible.

"Giving birth is considerably more difficult for vampires than it is for humans!"

"She looks like she's dying for fuck's sake!"

"Language!" said Koko.

"Since when do you care about how I talk?!"

"Since I became an aunt!"

Without warning, Issa pounded both of them in the back of the head.

"This isn't solving anything…"

"The baby's been feeding too much, she needs more blood!" said one of the doctors.

Moka instinctively leapt up and bit Tsukune.

"I really should have seen that coming…"

"Wake up you idiot!"

Koka smacked Tsukune upside the head.

"Your wife is in pain, your child is about to be born, and you think you can take a nap!"

"I have almost no blood left; I think you can cut me some slack!"

"The baby's coming!"

Despite his obvious loss of blood, Tsukune did his best to stand up and hold Moka's hand. He could tell from the sweat and tears on her face that she was in a lot more pain than he was.

"Tsuki… I can't do this."

"Moka, we're almost there."

It didn't seem to work, so Moka's sisters decided to play on her pride.

"What was the point of beating all those bozos if you can't even push this baby out?"

Moka passed out with one final scream. Silence followed, broken only by the sound of crying.

"Moka… Moka!"

Moka felt like she had just been hit by a hurricane, but she seemed to regain her senses when the sound of crying penetrated her ears.

"Moka, it's a girl!"

Moka opened her eyes and saw that Tsukune was right beside her, holding a beautiful baby girl. Moka reached out and took her in her arms, and then she pulled Tsukune into a kiss.

"I love you…"

"I'm pretty sure you threatened to kill me more than once these past few months." he said jokingly.

"That was the hormones talking…Besides, how could I stay mad at you… after you gave me such a beautiful baby?"

"She looks just like your mother…" said Issa.

Soon Kalua was crying instead of the baby, who seemed at peace in her mother's arm.

"Well, don't keep us in suspense, what's the baby's name?" asked Koko.

"We decided on Takara… because she's our little treasure."

"I love it!" said Aqua.

It was clear from the start that Takara was an energetic one. Tsukune went to get some blood to replenish what Moka had drained from him. The moment he opened the blood pack, Takara's eyes shot open and she tried to sit up, she also fumbled about with her arms and legs.

"I think somebody's hungry." sang Kahula.

When it was clear that Takara couldn't get the blood by herself, she let her instincts take over, and screamed.

"SKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIIYYYAAA!"

"Definitely hungry…"

"Was I ever that loud?" asked Koko grinding her teeth.

Takara spent the past nine months inside of Moka, eating whatever she ate, and Moka drank Tsukune's blood more than anything else. Issa had previously told them to impose that Takara couldn't feed off blood all the time, and to limit what they gave her. When Moka had finished feeding her, it mustn't have been enough, because Takara kept crying.

"Do something!"

Aqua and Kahula tried making funny faces, but it didn't work.

"Make her stop!" said Koko.

"Your yelling isn't helping!"
"Kahula, I think it's time to switch to plan B."

Kahula left the room and came back a minute later dressed in a pink bear costume.

"Well there's something you don't see every day." whispered Tsukune to Moka.

"You're telling me."

"Hi Takara, I'm Farrah Fuzzy, and I'm here to cheer you up!"

Kahula's costume had no apparent effect.

"I THINK SHE'S CRYING EVEN LOUDER!" exclaimed Koko smacking her sister in the head.

Moka cursed herself for not letting her maternal instincts kick in sooner. She took Takara in her arms and began to gently rock her.

"Sleep my baby on my bosom…warm and cozy will it prove…round thee mother's arms are folding… in her heart a mother's love…"

Takara seemed to calm down.

"I think it's working!"

"SHH!"
"There shall no one come to harm thee… naught shall ever break thy rest… sleep my darling babe in quiet… sleep on mother's gentle breast."

"I think we better give these three some privacy." said Issa.

When Moka finished the song, Takara had finally fallen asleep.

"I didn't think it was possible…" said Tsukune "But apparently I can love someone as much as I love you."

Moka kissed him on the cheek.

"You think you can handle the extra responsibility… Lord Tsukune?"

"I need to work for a world where monsters and humans can coexist… not just for us, but for her now too…"

"Take your time… we've got all eternity."

As they watched their daughter sleep, Tsukune and Moka knew that all the hardships they had undergone since meeting at Yokai Academy had been worth it.

"Kurumu will be jealous… Mizore's already pregnant again… the doctor says its twins."

"It's because Chuck's afraid she's going to eat him afterwards… Why do you think Ruby is with that shark?"

"Well I honestly can't say I'm shocked… I imagine it partially has something to do with the fact that sharks have two reproductive organs."

"They what?"

"You may be the Dark Lord, but I still got better grades in school."

The End
