"Kaname, I'm--."
But Kaname wasn't listening. He was much more concerned with running his fingers along the dip of her hips. The curve of her breasts, the fullness of her lips, though he remained blissfully unaware of the pout they wore.
"Sara…"
"Kaname.
We need to talk."
"We can talk later."
"No… we can't."
Kaname frowned.
"But,
I haven't seen you in days." He began, sitting his already nude
body up, stretching without shame. "I was all excited to get you
here…"
"And in your bed…" Sara teased.
"And now you're telling me to wait?"
"And,
put your pants back on."
"Easier said than done," Kaname
muttered, but nonetheless obeyed.
Sara sighed as she watched Kaname dress and wait patiently for her.
She sighed, shifting nervously on the bed.
"Love," Kaname began, reaching towards her and pulling her to her feet "Sometime this century?"
She took a step away from him.
"I--." She began "I'm…"
"Yes?"
"I'm pregnant."
"Yeah…"
"Kaname." Sara said, firmer this time "I'm pregnant."
Silence.
"What?!"
Sara tensed.
"I--."
"What—what--?"
"Well…"
"How…
how do you know?"
Sara paused, cocking her head, raising her
eyebrow and bringing her shockingly blue eyes up to his.
"Oh…" Kaname murmured "Yeah…" He paused "Wait. You knew this was going to happen?"
"Of course."
"And you didn't tell me?"
"I can't tell you, Kaname." She shouted "You know I can't!" She sighed "Besides, if I did…" She began "Would you have stopped anyways?"
Crossing his arms, he sighed.
"No…"
There was a moment of silence.
"So…" Kaname began, moving towards her "Pregnant."
She nodded.
"With like…" He reached for her belly "A baby?"
Sara scoffed.
"No, Kaname. A tree."
Kaname rolled his eyes, but nevertheless continued.
"But, a baby." He dropped to his knees, pressing his face up against Sara's womb. "A child. My… our child…"
Sara chuckled, placing her hand atop his head. Her secret husband.
Suddenly, Kaname leaned back, looking up at her.
"Wha—what is it?"
Sara cocked her head.
"A boy or a girl?"
She narrowed her eyebrows.
"That…" She began, "Is not for you to know."
"But it is for un-sharing mothers?"
"Yes, and not for impatient fathers."
Kaname paused.
"Father…"
"Father! Mizu! Do you hear that?! Father!"
"Yes, my Lord Kaname, But.."
"I'm going to have a child." He exclaimed, grabbing Mizu's wrists.
"Lord Kaname, pardon me, but I do believe you're more excited than Mistress Sara."
"But
Mizu, a…"
"I know, I know Lord Kaname."
Suddenly Kaname's hands reached out and grabbed Mizu's cheeks.
"But what?" He asked gently
"B—but…" Mizu began "You have to tell me what you want for dinner."
"It doesn't matter." Kaname murmured, running his thumb along Mizu's bottom lip.
"You're about to be a father and you still play such games? Mizu asked, breathlessly
Kaname paused, not realizing that his gentle teasing was causing more damage than he realized.
"And besides," Mizu began taking a step back from Kaname, moving himself out of reach "Have you thought of what your father will say?"
Kaname ducked to dodge the energy blast aimed to kill.
"No!" His father shouted
"Father please." Kaname began "You'll run the throne room."
The Demon Lord paused, frowning as he looked at the damage.
"What did you expect, Kaname?! That I would welcome you and that… angel… whore with open arms?!"
Kaname
narrowed his eyes.
"Well, why not, Father?" He began "After
all, I've done everything you've asked."
"Everything
I've…"
"You said 'stop fucking Mizu', so I stopped
fucking Mizu… mostly… you told me to find a wife. And I did."
Kaname chuckled "And you did want me to have an heir, did you not,
Father?"
Faster than Kaname could react, The Demon Lords hands were around his throat, pinning him to the wall, one around his throat, the other grabbing the wrist of his right hand, crackling with electricity.
Kaname knew when he was beat, and he fell still.
"An heir?!" The Demon Lord shouted. "Heir? To this sacred throne? That abomination? Created of darkness and light? Of angel and demon? That thing will never take the throne.
Ceasing a moment, Kaname broke free of his father's grasp.
"No,
Father. You won't control me, not this time! Sara shall remain as
my wife, and my child shall rule."
"I'd die before I allowed
that to happen." The Demon Lord shouted.
"And so you shall." Kaname sceamed.
Silence fell upon the room.
"And so you shall." Kaname repeated, walking out of the room.
Kaname's jaw dropped as Mizu's hands flew across it.
"What
were you thinking?! He could have killed you…"
"No."
Kaname replied evenly, holding the offended cheek. "He's too
desperate for an heir. And he can't pass up the chance for a Chaos
Wielder, even a weak one."
"So you're chalking your fate up to politics?"
"Don't be so worried, Mizu." Kaname muttered tiredly, turning to walk away.
Growing angry, Mizu reached out and grabbed him.
"No, Kaname." He began, stopping when he felt every muscle in Kaname's body tense.
Fearing that he may have upset the demon, Mizu paused, lowering his eyes.
"My Lord… I…"
"Mizu." Kaname spoke, not turning around "Be careful you never forget your place here." He said, his voice deadpan.
Mizu
tensed.
"For I fear," Kaname continued "The day that I have
to remind you," He turned "Who is the master, and who is the
servent."
Mizu fell silent, only nodding and his eyes closing in shame, only to have them snap open when he felt Kaname's press to his.
A blush spread across his cheeks.
"Don't worry so much."
Mizu froze, as Kaname turned towards the door.
"Everything's alright."
"Oh, my foolish Lord Kaname." Sara muttered, adjusting the wild flowers in her arms "Why would you say such a thing?"
Kaname scoffed.
"It's not a big deal."
"Your father could kill you." She began "Or hurt the ones you love…"
Kaname narrowed his amber eyes, nearing Sara protectively.
"I would never allow that to…"
"I didn't mean me."
Kaname's eyes widened with realization.
"He's already played that card. He wouldn't hurt Mizu again."
"Are you so sure?" Sara said, sounding angry "And even then, there are otherroads he could take. The Demon Lord's power reaches farther than you know.
"Then I'll kill him." Kaname said, turning away
"Don't say such foolish things." Sara muttered
"It's
not foolish… if…"
'Kaname, trust me you can't--."
END OF FLASHBACK
"And?"
"And
what?"
"What happened next?"
Kaname looked away from the window and brought his glance to Yuki who sat in front of him on the stairs.
"Next?" Kaname paused "I don't know."
"Huh?"
"I
have no idea?"
"You forgot?"
"No."
"Then
what?"
Kaname paused, narrowing his eyes in confusion.
"She
just… disappeared."
"Huh?"
"In the middle of her sentence… she just vanished."
Shuichi sat riveted, resting on the edge of a fountain.
"And then what?"
Sara sighed, smiling sadly.
"They took me."
"Who?"
"The angels."
"Sara, what are you doing?"
Sara's startling blue eyes stared straight into the eyes of one of the elder angels, that were narrowed in rage.
"What--."
"You were going to tell him." The elder replied "You were just going to tell Kaname Yuki his destiny."
Sara
sighed.
"I didn't."
"But you've had many slip ups lately." She began "We've had to alter time often."
"I know."
"Sara, have you forgotten the burden of being the Goddess of Light, the responsibility that comes with it?"
"No."
"You bear all fates, knowledge of all destinies… even your own." The Elder began "But, under no circumstances can you mend those fates. Change those destinies." She sighed "They're set a certain way by powers beyond our control and we cannot allow you to fool with any fate other than your own."
Growing
angry, Sara burst.
"And I haven't changed mine. I've stayed
straight on my path for eons!
I married Kaname, am to bare his child, and now, I must do nothing as
I watch him--."
"Exactly! Exactly! You must do nothing but allow fate to come about."
Sighing, Sara reluctantly nodded.
"I acknowledge my fate…" She murmured "My destiny…" Sara sighed "This won't happen anymore." Her hand rubbed her belly "I won't change their destinies."
END OF FLASHBACK
"And then what happened?"
Blinking herself out of her daydream, Sara turned to Shuichi.
"Well," She began "Things went back to normal… for a while anyways."
FLASHBACK
"No, no…" You say in bed."
Sara sighed, her hand resting on the large bump on her belly.
"Kaname. I'm pregnant, not paralyzed.
"You're supposed to rest when you're pregnant."
Sara sighed, rolling her eyes.
"I just want to go to the kitchen and get some fruits."
"And I will have some sent to you, how's that?"
Sara sighed, rolling her eyes.
"I am not helpless."
Kaname smiled, pressing his lips gently to hers.
"I—I know." He admitted "Just allow me this."
Sara sighed, nodding reluctantly.
"As you wish my dear Lord Kaname."
Kaname smiled happily eagerly moving to the door to call a servant.
'I'm so sorry, my Love,' Sara thought clutching her womb 'That this must all come to an end soon.'
