And I'm back as promised! Thank you for those who reviewed/faved/alerted this story, really, you guys are awesome. College had been a drag to me, with one stupid assignment after the other, but luckily I still found the time to just relax and connect with my laptop to write this chapter.
In this one, you'll be in for a surprise.
"Will you get your ass back here already?" Saruhiko roars when Misaki evaded him for the umpteenth time. "We need to get going already, Dr. Yuzuki's going to kill us if we don't hurry!" he continues as the 27-week pregnant man locks himself in the bathroom again. Saruhiko growls and flops on the couch moodily, already feeling the irritating crawl of migraine going up his brain. Misaki had become like this ever since he found out how big he'd gotten, twice than that of a normal pregnant lady and kept changing clothes to something bigger so he wouldn't look, or feel so big.
The blue clansman had told him that it's because of his height and gender that his stomach looks bigger, but that only earned him a black eye and screams of profanity. Apparently Misaki is still sensitive when talking about his height.
Groaning, Saruhiko merely slumps into the couch even more as he waits for Misaki to change clothes again. God knows what he plans to wear this time. After what felt like eternity, Misaki emerges from the bathroom and proceeds to chew Saruhiko. "I was just changing clothes, not delivering in there, calm your balls! Now move your butt off the couch and let's go, Dr. Yuzuki isn't going to wait for us you know," the vanguard barks out before walking out the door. Saruhiko grumbles under his breath and follows the crow out.
While the duo is on their way to the hospital, Megumi, who had been quietly resting in her room, suddenly felt an odd sensation from deep within her chest. A twinge, from a very fragile and forming red string coming from two souls she knew so well. "Can't be," she whispers to herself, her eyes wide in surprise and her lips quirking into a gentle smile. "This is some surprising news," she giggles before leaping off her bean bag chair and twirling around happily in her room.
"I'm telling you, getting all red clothes for Ryuu is a stupid idea, what if he's got your hair?" Saruhiko complains with a click of his tongue as he drives them up to the hospital. "There are other decent colours you know, and thousands of them, all you have to do is pick the nice ones," the blue clansman continues as he rounds a corner, at least the Saturday morning traffic isn't as rushed as usual.
Misaki frowns when he heard that, as if Saruhiko had just challenged him. "But red is a cool colour! It's bright, strong, and in Chinese it brings luck, also symbolizes bravery," the crow pipes up enthusiastically while Saruhiko groans and rolls his eyes in exasperation "Besides," Misaki continues with a slight pout. "The room is already so blue; why not bring some red into it too? I'll bring forth Mikoto-san's legacy!"
Saruhiko could feel a slight twinge in his heart when Misaki says that. Even after all these years, Suoh Mikoto never left Misaki's mind and heart, huh? Well later tonight will have a reason for me to delete that hateful name and person from his mind. It will all be me, me, me... Saruhiko thought in a maniacal and yet psychotic way. Misaki saw the blue clansman's evil-like facial reaction, and wonders what goes through his head.
"Are you trying to teach Ryuu about which clans we both belong to? Because you're not setting a good example you know," Saruhiko suddenly says out while leering at the former vanguard. Misaki twitches a little but he didn't falter. He knows too much how Saruhiko's mind works now, and he refuses to give the answer that Saruhiko wants. If it's psychology that monkey wants to play, then Misaki will play for sure. No way is he letting Saruhiko getting the last word.
Glaring at his mate, Misaki snaps back. "Oh, and you're such a shining perfectionist? Idiot monkey," he clicks his tongue and crosses his arms across his chest even though his stomach is already getting quite big for him to do so comfortably. "This coming from the guy who breaks every rule created by mankind," Misaki continues with a teasing sneer. Saruhiko rolls his eyes at the remark, but then again they're truth so he's got nothing to deny.
"I'm just saying that if you push the barrier between the clans, our kid might get confused on whom to vote for. Don't let it be like the government will you. You know what people say; we're like sheep herded by wolves and owned by pigs," Saruhiko continues with a slight glare, causing a fluctuation in his aura and the deadly blue whiplash to burst forward. Misaki jumps back a little when he suddenly felt the slight pain being lashed out, but Saruhiko seems to notice this and calms himself a little.
For so many years Saruhiko's been in the blue clan, and for so many years Misaki had been with him, he notices that the blue clansman's aura is directly proportioned to his emotions, especially negative emotions. Blue clan's aura is to serve order, and to rearrange the shapes of anything it's in range of or surrounds, hence why Reisi manages to break Neko's spell, that and the guards manage to find the exit and block it with their swords at the stadium before Kuroh knocked them out. That, and the baby incident at Scepter 4.
But in Saruhiko's case, his powers melded with the red clan's before Mikoto died, so it creates an imbalance as 'order' and 'violence' doesn't truly mix without adding confusion. Hence after Mikoto died, his blue aura gets 'confused' as it's still associated with the 'violence' before the red aura disappears, so it compensates by linking with Saruhiko's temper when he goes out of control. So basically, Misaki figured, every time Saruhiko gets angry, upset or irritated, his blue aura lashes out dangerously. Even though Saruhiko tries to suppress it, his powers would still leak out once in a while.
"But at least he'll know about the clans instead of living under a rock," Misaki pouts back and Saruhiko clicks his tongue. Not long after, they finally reach the hospital and just as they got out of the car, Saruhiko notices a figure standing not far ahead of them wearing a white lab coat with a sweet pink ruffled blouse and fitting ladies jeans. The blue clansman's shoulders sag when he figured out who it was while Misaki slowly walks out to stretch himself. The two then walks away from their car and the figure sprints at them at full speed.
Misaki panics a little until he found out who it was before stepping away. Dr. Yuzuki leaps up and tries to land a roundhouse kick to Saruhiko, who blocked her expertly and tries to grab her only to have her step on his shoulders, jumps up and kicks him away just as she lands. Misaki watches the two with an expressionless face. "You baboon!" she shrieks, her eyes sharp and icy as she stares at Saruhiko who groans as he tries to get up from the wall he just smashed on to. "You left him at the hand of a psychotic killer? What were you thinking?"
"Well right now, to get myself some spinal surgery and a pair of earplugs," Saruhiko replies while brushing the dust from his shirt without missing a beat. But then his eyes travel to Yuzuki and gave her a once over. "But that's not your problem, is it?"
"You bet your sorry ass it's not!" she continues and her hair flows around behind her as the wind plays. Somehow she reminds Saruhiko of medusa. "You're late with your appointment! You should've taken it a couple weeks ago but you skipped it without any reason at all! Foetal growth is important you egoistic twat!" she continues and drags him by the arm inside, nagging at him all the while as Misaki follows behind at a slower pace, grinning at Saruhiko's unlucky fate. He had long ago discovered Dr. Yuzuki's fetish for Tekken game when he had a talk with her about foetal development once. Apparently she's a master at Lili's moves and even learnt it for her own self-defence.
Once they were inside, Dr. Yuzuki didn't waste any time at all on scanning Misaki, what with his condition after encountering Mogura and all. "Alright, let's get this over with so you two can have fun back home, shall we?" she says with a teasing grin causing Misaki to blush. Saruhiko, now with a pair of red ears and bruised head, simply grins and licks Misaki's ear making the former vanguard to punch him right on his man jewel.
"Yeah, let's get this over with," Misaki concludes as he gets up on the exam desk while Saruhiko doubled over and gasping for breath. Dr. Yuzuki smiles kindly and lifts the crow's shirt before smearing the gel onto his enlarged belly. She then pats his belly a little, as though embracing the life inside before turning on the machine. Saruhiko, now regained his breath, makes his way to where Misaki lays and plays with the crow's hair affectionately. The two parents-to-be waited patiently while Dr. Yuzuki scans Misaki's stomach.
And then she gasps.
"Anna," Izumo calls out to the young teen sitting at her usual table in the bar. Anna turns her pinkish eyes to Izumo and looks at the parfait he had prepared for her. "Here, Anna. That big sister over there ordered it for you," he smiles out at her whilst pointing to a young and beautiful lady with jet black hair and mesmerizing blue eyes at the counter. The lady smiles and waves at Anna who smiles back and thanking her for the parfait. After putting the parfait on her table, Izumo notices the marbles Anna had scattered on the table.
Anna seems to notice his curiosity and smiles. "It's a surprise," she says to him and the marbles move about in a circle before slowly rising up and surrounds her head like a halo. "The little red light now won't be lonely, he's got a friend," she continues with a giggle and the whole bar feels warm and the atmosphere became extremely sweet for everyone, making them smile and enjoying themselves more. Izumo wonders what she's talking about.
"What, what is it?" Misaki cries out in desperation when he heard Yuzuki's surprised gasp. He could see her smiling, so it's not a bad news but now he's curious what it could be. "Saruhiko, what's going on?" he turns to the blue clansman who's now staring at the monitors intently, as if he couldn't believe what he's actually seeing. "Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on here?" the crow screeches when no one tells him anything. Dr. Yuzuki then turns to him, a grin on her face.
"Do you know why you're quite big even at this time?" she asks him, that smile never leaving her face. Misaki wonders what her question meant but shakes his head. Even he's still confused as to why he's so big even though she and Saruhiko once said it's because of his gender and size. "Well for starters, it's true that the flexibility of your skin and your small waist made you look big. But the truth is, you're having twins," she says happily and activates the holo-monitor. Misaki's eyes went wide when he sees the foetuses laying peacefully to each other, but one is moving about and hiccupping around, even pushing the other twin who hit back in retaliation. Misaki could feel them all inside him.
Saruhiko is still a little dumbstruck when he sees the second –female- twin sleeping beside their baby boy. How did this happen? How the fuck did this happen? That kid say only one kid she saved, so why the fuck are there two inside of Misaki? Saruhiko thought frantically as he stares at the holographic projection. He didn't hear that Misaki is calling out for him, all he could think about is that his life is going to be changed completely now that a girl would be joining them. The blue clansman then snaps out of his trance when Dr. Yuzuki pulls his ears irritably. "What?" he roars at her when she steps away.
"Finally getting out of your trance?" she asks icily before pointing out to the projection. "I have a question for you both. You told me the last time you were pregnant, it's because of a girl, a Strain's powers. But you told me that she only gave you one child, a boy whom you continuously met in a dream. So how is it now that you have twins inside of you?" Dr. Yuzuki continues as she crosses her arms over her chest. "Twins are created from either two eggs of an egg split in two. Identical twins are out since the 'she' should've been a 'he'. This leaves us with fraternal twins. How did you get the egg?"
Even Misaki is at loss for words, he doesn't know what to say since he himself doesn't know the condition he's in. Saruhiko then clicks his tongue in an irritated manner and fishes his phone out to call Megumi, good thing he searched into her database and found her contacts. When the line connects, the blue clansman attacks her verbally, demanding for answers.
"In truth, even I don't know," she answers calmly. "I had felt a fluctuation in my powers when I retrieved the soul, I didn't know that I had given the child a companion. All in all, you should be thankful that your child has a friend to play with. Perhaps the girl was a wandering soul, wanting to be born just like your child and latched herself onto him while I brought him back. Just be happy, and keep them safe," Megumi concludes before cutting the line. Saruhiko growls in annoyance before keeping the phone away.
"Seems even she doesn't know," he explains to them. Misaki doesn't seem to even be bothered by this news and seems rather elevated that he'd have two children now. Saruhiko on the other hand, still seems rather apprehensive about getting a daughter, and Dr. Yuzuki notices this. For the first time in that day, she went over to Saruhiko with a kind smile and places a hand on his shoulder gently, as if telling him all will be well.
"She's your daughter, treat her right. You're going to be a dad, you can't choose between your kids, remember that," she grins out and helps Misaki off the exam table. Saruhiko still looks doubtful, but then when the holographic projectors show his daughter opening her eyes, his heart melted. When he sees the bump that is Misaki's growing stomach, he gives in completely. Nodding his head and with a smile on his face, Saruhiko kisses Misaki and rubs his stomach lovingly, careful of the precious growing life inside.
Well will you look at that, twins! Though I think some people already figured it out, eh? Eh? Ehh? (nudge nudge) And I made Dr. Yuzuki as a parody of me; I LOVE TEKKEN! And goddamn I'm a winner when it comes to Lili's movements, not even my cousin -who's a pro at Tekken- could tie my ass when it comes to Lili. She's so pretty and graceful~ But I have one weakness when I play Tekken..
And no I'm not telling.
Well, 6 more chapters until this story ends, and I can start with a HORROR one. I don't see many horror genre for K, so I'm making one and actually finish it before the year ends hopefully. Do leave me some reviews and tell me what you think! Next chapter will be next week as usual!
P/s: sorry this chapter's kind of short, I was rushed.
