We start in Shizu POV today. I want to warn you, my updates will either become more sporadic or more frequent(Hard to tell which) At some points one, at others the other. I just learned my father has cancer that moved from his prostate to his bones. It's about 5 am as I write this AN too, and it's why I can't sleep...arent you all lucky my coping mechanism is writing Yaoi? We just learned he has cancer today too...it's the first time I've ever seen him cry in my life...twenty-two years and this is the first time I've seen him cry, even when his mother and father passed, his eyes got wet sure...but this was different.
On a side not, most of you figured out what's wrong with Izaya. Also, a note on the last chapter, Tamagoyaki is rolled omelette and Natto is fermented soy beans, both are often made as part of the morning meal in traditional Japanese breakfasts. Also, two new POV's this chapter...
Shizuo
Huh. Well, this will be interesting anyways. Izaya's still not feeling better…but how to escape these two? Ever since I broke it off with Vorona she's been trying to make me jealous by clinging to Tom.
"I gotta take off early," I say, deciding to just put it out there. Tom looks at me desperate not to be left alone with Vorona.
"Huh?" He says.
"Izaya's sick, I gotta pick Yuzuki up," I shrug. Vorona scowls but as soon as my back is turned to them I can tell she's let go of Tom…much to his relief I think. My phone buzzes again though with a second text.
'Bring me Shinra' it says. Hmm…guess the flea really is sick.
Yuzuki frowns a little when she sees me though, but it's quickly set in order.
"Is Mommy still sick?" She asks, her gold eyes shining with worry.
"Yeah, but we're gonna stop and pick up Uncle Shinra on the way home too, then he can help make Mom better, okay?" She smiles and nods at that.
"Okay~!" We start walking.
"THERE!" I blink, head turning to the sound along with Yuzuki's. Erika? She's brought Mikado, Kida and Anri as well.
"Huh…She's adorable~! Won't she be just hottest chick when she gets bigger~!" Kida purrs causing Anri to sigh softly and Mikado to blush and tug Kida's sleeve.
"M-Masaomi…" He mumbles lightly. If it weren't for the fact that Kida was obviously gayer than Izaya I would have snapped his neck for saying that about my daughter.
"Daddy, are they gay?" Yuzuki asks, looking between the blonde and his raven lover. Everyone's jaw drops, mine included.
"Sh-she DOES know yaoi! Oh happy days~!"
"Yaoi means gay?"
"Yes it does you sweet, sweet child you!"
"So if Shizaya is yaoi, is that an amalgamation of Izaya and Shizuo?" Damn it, why does my kid have to be a friggin' genius?
Erika gapes a little. So do the other three.
"Is it just me…or is she smart?" Anri asks ever-so-softly from the back of the group.
"N-no…she's smart like Izaya-kun…" Erika mumbles then she grins, "Is your Mom Izaya?" She blinks then looks up at me then frowns as if thinking.
"No," She lies so convincingly that I almost believe her. Erika's face falls.
"Well, what were you expecting, men can't get pregnant," Kida points out shrugging.
"Look, if there's nothing else…?" I ask pointedly. She frowns and shakes her head, looking thoughtful.
"My whole life…" She mumbles, half stumbling off.
"Is…she okay?" Anri asks softly and Mikado eventually holds on to Erika so she doesn't collapse. Why is Yuzuki such a good liar…?
"Oh good…you brought Shinra…" Izaya grins in an almost insane way. He looks worse. His eyes are feverishly bright, his skin is pale and he's drenched in sweat. Shinra looks as shocked as me, more so though when a knife flies passed his head so close that it cuts a single lock of hair from him.
"I-Izaya-san?" He asks. Yuzuki goes over but I stop her, I don't want her to catch whatever Izaya has.
"Oh don't worry Shizu-chan, it's not contagious," Izaya growls.
"How do you know that?" I ask uncertainly. Izaya smiles in an evil way.
"Ask. Him." He growls, that creepy smile on his face, a knife pointing from his hand at Shinra.
"Shinra?" I look at the doctor who shakes his head.
"No clue," He shrugs, "I'd have to run some tests, I mean-"
"I'M PREGNANT YOU FUCK!" He shrieks then. Oh well that expl-wait…WHAT?
"H-huh?" He looks just as shocked as I know I must.
"Th-there must be some mistake Izaya-san, let me draw some blood, I mean, I know I didn't give you another dose, you can't be!" He says, looking positively terrified. I nod quickly in agreement.
"Y-yeah, Izaya, you can't know for sure, so-"
"OH I KNOW FOR SURE! I have spent the ENTIRE day going between completely RAVENOUS to having my head shoved down the god-damned TOILET! And THEN! THEN I GET THE SAME FUCKING PAIN I HAD ALL THROUGH MY LAST PREGNANCY!" He bursts in to tears…wow, that flea is cute crying. Hang on…what pain? Shinra looks pale now and hurries to Izaya's side, forcing him to sit.
"I'm going to confirm this, just…I don't know how this could be I mean…" He looks frantic now too. Yuzuki looks frightened too now and I have no idea what to do.
"M-mommy?"
"Ah! Y-Yuzuki you and D-Dad should go…I-" He looks at me now and I silently turn and tug Yuzuki back out. Well…this WILL be interesting won't it?
Shinra
I frown at the results. This can't be right! The drug was supposed to make him fertile and able to carry yes, but ONCE. I think I need to experiment on mice again…yes, they would be faster than monkeys. Now…how to tell Izaya without being murdered.
"Izaya-san?" He looks up. Damn, he really does look like shit right now. I get him a cup of tea first so he can calm down a bit.
"I am…aren't I?" He mumbles though when I hand him the mug. I nod slowly and flinch when he moves, but he only takes the tea and sips it slowly. He seems to be calming down.
"S-sorry,"
"Oh?"
"You're…impromptu haircut," He sniffles a little and grins. I sigh and smile.
"Don't worry about it…feeling better?"
"Yeah. I was just…shocked. You told me it was a one-time deal,"
"I thought it was! I mean…I only ever tested it with that assumption you know, I…I assumed that after Shizuo-san you wouldn't…"
"This one is his too," He mumbles and smiles, but now he touches his abdomen fondly.
"I-I assumed so…well…this will be new for him…"
"Yeah. He's great with Yuzuki though…" He mumbles and dries his eyes now. Then he blows his nose loudly.
"I had a feeling he would be. I'm surprised how much she calms him," I mumble aloud. It is true too, he can be ready to throw a car at someone and then he sees her and suddenly he is calm as can be. If anything the mood shifts from rage to joy with no in between.
"I…I really never thought you'd remain fertile after the first time…I thought you'd need another dose if you ever wanted another," I mumble apologetically and Izaya smiles.
"I know…I'm not mad any more…" He pats his abdomen again, the smile in his eyes betraying just how fast he loves this one. Yuzuki took him a while…seems his maternal instincts from Yuzuki though helped activate things faster this time.
Yuzuki
"Daddy…Mommy will be okay," I say. I take Daddy's hand and squeeze it lightly but his return smile is weak. I frown. If Mommy is just pregnant that means I get to be a big sister right? I asked for a baby brother from Santa when I was five, and sure, it's a bit late, but I won't complain!
"Shizuo-san?" Me and Daddy both look at the voice. It's Daddy's boss, that Tom guy, and the blonde lady. Mommy doesn't like her much, but she doesn't seem like she's mean or nothing.
"Oh…hey Tom," Daddy's voice sounds funny. I think he's still worried.
"Something is wrong…" The blonde lady says, but I don't think she's asking. She looks like she's worried and glad at the same time, jeez, what a hypocrite.
"Y-yeah…" Daddy mumbles again.
"No Daddy, it's not wrong!" I say and he blinks, looking at me. I grin because I'm happy.
"Guess what! I'm a sister!" I bounce happily, because I am happy, and Mommy says I shouldn't move so much when I'm happy, but I do. Mommy says it's because I get too much sugar…like there is such a thing. The blonde lady scowls and Mr. Boss man looks surprised. Is blonde lady in love with Daddy? Then why is she hugging Boss tighter now? Oh I get it!
"Daddy, Blondie is your ex-girlfriend, ne?" I say it like Mommy and he laughs. Good! Plan 'cheer Daddy up' is working! Boss and blonde look surprised.
"Obviously you still like Daddy, but you're trying to make him jealous. It won't work, so you should give up lady," I say matter-of-factly. Mommy always says that a lie is okay, but sometimes the truth is better. He also says if I lie I have to make it good, because lies are like art and only some people have the gift. Mommy says I have the gift for it, and I got it from him.
"I…she is very rude!" Blonde says and Boss looks worried.
"She's eight Vorona," Daddy growls lightly. Oops, now Daddy is getting mad! Mommy said I'm really strong because Daddy is really strong, but I haven't seen it yet. I hug Daddy and all three of them look surprised.
"Daddy, you're getting Mad…Mommy says angry makes monsters, so I had to make the monsters die…" I say, and I know monsters aren't really real, but they still scare me! Daddy smiles though and hugs me too.
"Thanks sweetie…" He says. Mommy said Daddy wouldn't love me once, and he said it really sad too. Mommy is wrong.
"So um…Yuzuki, right?" Boss is speaking. I look at him, wondering what he wants.
"Yup! And you're Tom Tanaka, you're Daddy's boss," I say with a small grin. He nods.
"So uh, when's your birthday?"
"Halloween. Mommy says if he was a girl I would be born in November, but he's not and so the doctor had to cut me out early," I nod. He goes pale, did I say too much?
"O-Oh…are you going out then? T-trick or treating?"
"Duh. I always have my birthday party the weekend after Halloween, and this year I'm gonna be a princess! Hey! Daddy you have to dress up too, you have to be the king if I'm the princess!" Daddy looks surprised.
"If I'm the king, then what's Mom going to be?"
"Mommy is queen, duh," I roll my eyes. That one was pretty obvious. Mommy says I have his mind, and that my Daddy is slow like a protozoan. I'm starting to see Mommy's point. Blonde sits next to Daddy and glares at me, then sneaks one hand onto his back. I see what she's doing…
"Достаньте от моего Папы!"(Get your hands off my Daddy) I say it in Russian because that's what her accent sounds like.
"Сделайте меня Вами маленький надоедливый ребенок"(Make me you little brat) She scowls. Daddy and his boss look confused.
"She speaks Russian?" Boss asks.
"Apparently…" Of course I speak Russian! Mommy taught me lots of languages. I pull the knife Mommy gave me out and flick it open with a small smirk.
"Я имею действительно хорошую цель, не судите меня"(I have really good aim, don't try me.)
"Yuzuki, where did you get that…?" Daddy looks surprised. My eyes widen and I look at him.
"Mommy said I should know how to use knives because even though I'm strong like you sometimes being fast and accurate is better."
"She is definitely Izaya's daughter…" Boss says with a sigh.
"Uh, right, put it away please,"
"But-!"
"No buts!"
"Fiiine," I scowl. Blonde gives me a smirk.
"Я могу выиграть его назад маленький надоедливый ребенок, ваша мать не реальная женщина, таким образом вы оба отвязываетесь." (I can win him back little brat, your mother isn't a real woman, so both of you fuck off.) She says, but in an endearing way. She knows I'm the only one who can understand her. Now I know why Mommy doesn't like her.
"Come on Yuzuki, let's go…I'm sure Shinra either has Mom less murderous, or is dead by now.."
"Okay…" I take his hand then turn back to blonde lady, "Вы никогда не будете побеждать, Папа выберет меня и Маму по немой светловолосой суке любой день"( You'll never win, Daddy will pick me and Mommy over a dumb blonde bitch any day) I stick my tongue out. She looks flabbergasted.
Heh-heh, stupid lady…
