HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
SEVERAL HOURS LATER WITH THE BLACK FOXES…
Third POV
The guys were in their room, silently waiting for Hiro and Kikyan's return from the infirmary.
"Maybe we should go check on them…" Kenshi started, but Riki gently placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Let's give them some more time." Riki said softly and Kenshi nodded, sitting back down.
"Can you believe it?" Boss muttered and everyone turned to him. "I never thought that she would be pregnant…" The rest agreed.
"How long has it been? Being on the Sirius that is." Riki asked.
"Too long." Takuto answered. "But it's not like I hate it or something… I get something to do every day so it gets my mind off of things…"
"We never found the box. Maybe her gramps was trying to tell us that we should be pirates." Kenshi stated and everyone looked at him blankly. "What? That could be a possibility you know…"
"Tch." Riki playfully rolled his eyes and shook his head. "I don't think so… But we should really start looking for that box… It's almost a year now… I think…"
"I can't believe I haven't used my computer for months now…"
"Wonder what the news will say…" Boss started.
"About my computer?" Takuto raised his eyebrows.
"No Takkun. I mean about the Black Foxes…"
"Quit calling me that beardy!"
"Hey… That's painful."
"Not as much as the pain Hiro is in right now…" Riki replied and the rest became silent.
(CLICK)
Everyone turned to see Hiro slowly walking in.
"Hey, buddy." Riki said and slowly walked over to him, hoping to brighten up the mood. "How is she?" He asked quietly.
"Still unconscious." Hiro whispered, head still hanging.
Riki ruffled his hair. "You should stay with her then, don't worry about us. Call us when you need us."
Hiro gave a small smile. "Thanks leader." He bowed and left, waving to the others as he did so.
(CLICK)
"How was she?" Kenshi was the first to speak.
"She's still unconscious." Riki sighed and flopped onto the futon.
"You don't think… She lost it do you?" Takuto questioned, hugging his now dead laptop to himself.
"I don't know Takuto… I don't know…"
Hiro's POV
I'm glad to have the others as my friends. I just hope that Kikyan's alright. And the child… "Please…" I felt tears running down my cheeks. "I just found out today, please don't do this to me…"
Kikyan's POV
"Ugh…" I opened my eyes, lights blinding me. "Ugh!"
"Kikyan, you're awake." Christopher quickly came over to me. "How are you feeling?"
"Ugh… Like a punching bag." I replied, trying to get up. "Christopher…" I looked at my stomach and looked back at him.
"…" He bit his lip. "I'm sorry Kikyan…" He whispered and a lump formed in my throat.
"It's all my fault… I killed it."
"No Kikyan, of course not-"
"If I were stronger, if I could've defended myself. This wouldn't have happened."
"Kikyan, please-"
"IT'S ALL MY FAULT! I KILLED HIRO AND MY CHILD!" I sat up and buried my face into my hands. I started sobbing and then the door slammed open.
(SLAM)
"Kikyan!" Hiro quickly ran towards me with tears in his eyes. He then tightly embraced me. "Thank goodness you're alright! I was so worried…"
"Hiro…" I cried and slowly pulled away.
"Kikyan?"
"Hiro," I swallowed. "I lost our child…" I blinked and the tears flowed freely.
"…" Hiro kept silent and kissed my forehead muttering, "Everything's going to be okay…"

Riki's POV
A week has passed since we got the news about the child. Kikyan became more depressed and Hiro… Well…
"YAH!" Hiro was practicing with Russell to become stronger…
FEW DAYS AGO…
Riki's POV
We were all eating dinner when I noticed Hiro wasn't there. I left the table and found him sitting on the deck, one knee pulled to his chest the other leg dangled off of the ship. An arm rested on his right knee and in that hand, was an almost empty bottle of beer.
"Mind if I join you?"
"I don't mind." Hiro replied.
I silently sat next to him and faced the dark waters. "Hiro listen-"
"I promise I'll get stronger."
"?" I stopped and looked at him.
"I wasn't strong enough to protect her. Because of that… We lost our child…" Hiro said miserably and gulped down his beer, reaching for another one.
"Hey that's enough drinking…" I quickly took the bottle.
"Give it back!" Hiro slurred.
"What would you say to Kikyan when she sees you like this!? You wanna protect her don't you?! Getting drunk isn't the answer!" I sighed deeply and watched Hiro rubbing his temples. "Sorry for yelling."
"It's fine. I shouldn't be drinking…" Hiro muttered. "I'll get stronger… To protect Kikyan… I hate to say this… But I'm gonna ask Russell to teach me."
PRESENT TIME
Riki's POV
So that's the story…
"Hey! Not so fast Hiro!" Russell exclaimed as he tried to block all of the attacks Hiro was making.
(SNAP)
"See? You just broke the wooden swords in half Einstein." Russell sighed. "I'm pretty sure you're ready for the swords now… But I'll give that to you later…" Russell quickly left the deck searching for replacements and I walked over.
"Yo!"
"Hey leader."
"How's the practice?"
"Swell."
"That's good. Kikyan herself is looking a little better too…" I added.
"I see." Hiro smiled and wiped his face with a towel. "I will get my revenge." He said in a very low voice.
"Hiro?"
"…"
"!"
I gasped as I watched Hiro moving the towel away from his face. His eyes looked cold and distant. The spark that was just there vanished. He threw the towel up and grabbed his sickle and chain.
(SLICE)
"!" I stared at the pieces of the used to be towel fluttering to the floor. When I looked back up, Hiro was gone…
Kikyan's POV
"(Sigh)." I sighed as I was fluffing the pillows and flattening out the blankets. I couldn't help but laugh. "The guys must do karate at night."
(CLICK)
"?"
"Hey." Hiro's voice sounded cold.
I turned around and there he was, leaning against the doorway, arms crossed. "What's wrong?" I asked and walked over to him. As I did, he pulled on my arm and hugged me. "H-Hiro?!"
"I'm so sorry…" He whispered as he buried his face in the nape of my neck.
"Whatever for?" I asked him curiously and wrapped my arms around his waist.
"Not being able to protect you."
"You're talking about this again aren't you?" I pulled away slightly and looked at him in the eye. "It's not your fault." I whispered and pecked him on the lips.
"…enough…" He sighed.
"What?"
"Not enough…" He kissed me deeply, switching places so that I was the one leaning on the door. One hand went under my chin, tilting my face towards his, making the kiss go deeper while the other hand wrapped around my waist locking our hips together.
"Mmm…" I moaned as Hiro covered my lips, muffling the sounds.
"Heh, don't want the others to hear." He said in a raspy voice and I felt weak in the knees. "Do you like it when I whisper in your ear?" He asked, and then blew into it.
"Kyahh! Don't do that!" I blushed and hid my face.
"Kikyan." He chuckled and uncovered my hands, kissing me.
"Are you guys done?" Kenshi questioned with a snicker.
"?!"
"Yeah, you're blocking the doorway…" Takuto added, sighing. Also, I think I heard the word nasty…
"Come on, let them have sex every once in a while." Riki piped in.
"Ah, young love!"
"Shut up beardy!"
"But Takkun!"
"(Sigh)." Hiro slowly pulled away from me. "We shall continue this later?" He pecked me on the forehead.
I slowly nodded and watched Hiro happily making his way to the others…

Third POV
The Sirius and the Black Foxes were peacefully eating their dinner in the mess hall when…
(BANG)
"It's the Rika." Nathan said while looking out of the window.
Hiro clenched his hands. Kikyan noticed this and gently laid her hands on his fists.
"Hiro?"
"… I'll be fine don't worry. Nathan, can you protect her?" Hiro asked as he and the others gathered their weapons.
"Of course, Kikyan, come here."
"Alright."
"Alright men! Let's go!"
"Be careful Hiro." Kikyan muttered sadly as the door slammed shut.
What do ya think? ;)
