Chapter 14- Peace:
Third Person:
After all the excitement and fighting had stopped, they tried to calmly make peace with each other. Though it took a while for the silliness to end since Moriko had to get the catnip away from Kato- who had been perfectly balancing her light body on top of Reve's head to try and get the catnip.
Now that everything was calm, they could discuss everything properly. The host club members stood protectively by Reve, Moriko, and Kato. Mori had placed a hand on Moriko's shoulder and Nekozawa did the same to Kato. Kyoya even stood by Reve when she was seated slightly in front of them, being closer to the doctor. The agents stood by the doctor and behind him- a bit cautious of dealing with the creatures. Reve looked towards Kyoya- briefly reading his surface thoughts.
'I hope she knows what she is doing….I pray she does not get herself hurt….I do wish to reveal my feelings to her when this through…'
Reve blinked- she knew Kyoya didn't know she read his thoughts. Yet, she was shocked to learn he had feelings towards her. She softly smiled to herself.
"Just what are you," the doctor asked as his first question.
What they agreed was that Reve, Kato, and Moriko would answer any and all questions spoken to them. In exchange, the doctor would rethink capturing them. Reve made it clear though that they would just go back to fighting if he deemed them a threat. All three were to take turns answered the doctors questions and retelling facts. Reve had done a sweep on him to make sure the information would not only be discreet and secret as possible, but it wouldn't be used against them.
"I'm a Dream Weaver," Reve answered, "I used to have a family until I was eight. My parents had disowned me. I was found on the streets by Iopov. He is half Dream Weaver….half human."
"Your species breed with humans," the doctor asked and gulped as they glared at him.
"With my species it is practically unheard of one of us falling in love with a human, Katojns do it more than my species- yet even then for them it is rare. Forested Angels, however, easily fall with humans. It is common among them."
Moriko shrugged.
After all three had said their stories and answered questions, Kyoya, Mori and Nekozawa, along with the rest of the host club, looked at them with pity. Reve's parents abandoned her because she was different. Moriko's parents had died while she had been in captivity. Kato's parents disowned her after she did something (she didn't say what) and ended up being clawed by her mother- leaving a scar across her now blind eye. They all felt sorry for their non-human friends. The doctor was going over the information and finally he sighed.
Reve tensed and Kyoya placed a hand on her shoulder protectively. Nekozawa stood by Kato and he whispered comforting words into her cat ear. Mori stood in front of Moriko protectively. They were prepared for the worst decision. Reve briefly read his thoughts- he was trying to decide. He was thinking that they weren't a threat, but because they were different that they should be locked up. Reve read the thoughts of the agents and she tried not to smirk when she found a piece of information that could help her lean the scales to their favor.
"You have code," Reve said, "compelled to help those who are human but affected by supernatural entities, correct?"
The doctor looked at her suspiciously,
"Yes?"
"Your agents' helmets have an MRI scanner built in, as well as a transducer. I suggest you borrow that transducer-like device in the helmet and do a quick scan."
"Of?"
"Kato and Nekozawa."
They looked at Reve shocked. Kato glared,
"What about me and him?"
'Please stay calm,' Reve thought to Kato and Kato visibly relaxed.
A nearby agent took off his helmet and handed it to the doctor. The doctor looked through the helmet, pressing a device on the side. He looked at Kato and then at Nekozawa. He took off the helmet.
"Interesting," he muttered, "the thought of a such a rare occurrence of a half human child."
Kato prayed that the other hosts didn't hear him, and apparently they didn't. Kyoya and Reve heard- they were close enough to the doctor after all.
"Very well," the doctor said louder, "you may continue with your lives here- provided you don't do anything wrong, and trust me, we will be watching. There are a few guidelines however-"
The doctor wasn't heard from Tamaki's shouts of happiness.
(Nine weeks later):
"What do you mean you know," Kato hissed at Moriko in their apartment.
After the incident with the doctor and the agents, things calmed down- sort of. Kyoya and Reve had gotten together, as well as Moriko and Mori. Nekozawa and Kato came public with their relationship. It was nice. Though what wasn't nice was what Moriko had just told her.
"I have known for weeks," Reve pointed out.
"I've known just because, well," Moriko said, "it's a bit obvious since last week."
Kato hissed,
"Which is why I have been staying home since last week."
"Still," Reve said, "you can't expect to keep it a secret much longer, especially from the host club. Have you told Nekozawa yet?"
"…No."
"I suggest you let him know soon. You may be seventeen, but that doesn't mean you can take care of a child on your own. I am sure Nekozawa will help you."
Kato huffed- knowing both of them were right.
"So how long does a Katojns' pregnancy last anyway," Moriko asked.
"About eleven weeks."
"Seriously?"
Kato shrugged,
"Well, we are like cats. Cats have pregnancy that lasts about nine weeks. Besides," Kato said, "It's a survival thing too. I mean, do you really expect my species to run form predators and everything when our bellies are the size of watermelon like a human for ninth months?"
"So how big do you get?"
"Not much bigger than this, actually."
Kato crossed her arms. Moriko was right though- the pregnancy just started to show last week. Kato's chest was bigger and her stomach wasn't that much bigger. It wouldn't grow much bigger than it already is. While she was a bit bigger than usual, it didn't look nearly as big as a normal pregnancy. Her stomach was about as big as a normal pregnancy at about 13 weeks. It wasn't too noticeable though- especially since Kato was wearing a large baggy t-shirt.
"Kato, you seem to know about Katojns' pregnancy….would you please educate us on it to prepare for your birth?"
Kato looked horrified,
"That's not necessary! You can just…send me to a hospital."
Reve raised an eyebrow and Moriko giggled,
"They might just label it as just a hair condition…"
Kato glared,
"For your information, Katojns are born in their human form and mothers usually give birth in human form. It's easier. Besides, the abilities of a Katojns, including a full form, doesn't happen until about five years old….but another cat birth joke from you," Kato glared at Moriko, "and I will personally clip off your wings myself."
"No need to get so catty about it."
