I own nothing! I'm going to try this out with Gene. If you think its to off the wall tell me and I'll redo the chapter without it.
Mai's p.o.v.******************
I was five months pregnant and was have a dream that I've had countless times since Yao's case. That same demon chases me down a dark tunnel trying to claw me to pieces. I ran and called for Sebastian and Claude but they never came.
Final I stopped and tried to fight it with lightning. Koujo shook me awake. I had almost hit him with her lightning. Mai stop. That's when I opened my eyes.
Oh Koujo. I'm so sorry. I stammered starting to cry. That damn dream again? He asked me. Yes and I still am no closer to figuring it out ether. He said still held me close. It okay hun. Don't cry. We'll figure it out soon. But for now I'm going to make you something that hopefully will stop these dreams. So you and the baby can get some much needed sleep.
Come on he laid me back down on my side. It was the only position that was comfortable because of my growing belly. Koujo spooned me from behind. He kept one of his arm draped over me protectively and the other under my head so I could be as close to him as possible.
When he saw she was asleep. He called out to Gene. Gene if your there we could really use your help my friend. Then he settled down and tried to sleep.
Gene heard Koujo. But needed help. That demon that was haunting Mai was much more powerful then he was. He started searching for a reaper friend he had made a while back who also was still in the astral plane. His name was Alan. Alan still wanted to be a reaper and had reached out to Gene to be one as well. Gene didn't know about this. He didn't think he could do it.
Koujo's p.o.v.
I had risen early. I needed to get a hold of my father for advice. But I know my father was still mad at me. "I have to. Mai and my baby are in danger from this thing. Its time to face the music." I picked up the phone and dialed a number I hated to dial. The phone rang twice. My mother "Wen" answered the phone.
Wen: Hello.
Koujo: Hi mom.
Wen: Koujo is it really you? She questioned.
Koujo: Yes mom. He answered.
Wen: Is it true you got married?
Koujo: Yes mom.
Wen: Is she really Japanese?
Koujo: Yes mom she Japanese.
Wen: I can look past it but I don't know about your father. I bet she's smart and sweet.
Koujo: Yes mom she is those and so much more. Mom are you sitting down?
Wen: Yes. Why?
Koujo: Mom Mai is five months pregnant. Koujo hurried and lifted the phone from his ear just in time for his mother's reaction.
Wen: What! Wen never knew her voice could go that high. She's Five Months And I'm Just Now Hearing About It. Then she started to ramble. If she's five month that means she go pregnant around October or November. So... "Shes counting the months". Means she'll be due in June or July. Do you have names picked out? Are they Chinese or Japanese? Oh Koujo I'm sorry. I'm just excited.
Koujo: I know mom. Believe me so am I. Let me answer some of your questions. We have names. Their both Chinese and Japanese. For a girl we picked Maimi Yuming. For a boy we picked Michio Xing and Mai is due June twenty second.
Wen: So correct me if I'm wrong Chinese is their first names and Japanese is their middle. Right?
Koujo: Yes mom.
Wen: I hope you didn't fight about that.
Koujo: No mom. We really don't fight at all. I think we had one fight our hole relationship.
Wen: That's wonderful son. Your father and I fought like crazy our first year of marriage. Oh I bet you wanted to talk to him. Didn't you.
Koujo: Yes mom. Mai has been haunted by a demon that keeps appearing in her dreams. It gets worse every time she has that same dream.
Wen: Isn't she a medium?
Koujo: Yes mom. But it won't show her anything. It just attacks her. Mom Mai's not the average medium. She can astral project her hole body and she's also an elemental onmyouji.
Wen: I thought they were extinct. My son this is bad. I'll get you father.
I waits for my father to pick up the phone. Then I hears them fighting. My mother tells my father everything they had discussed. My dad flipped and smacked my mom when he heard how happy she was about the baby.
Qiang: You listen here son. I don't want to hear from you unless its about your divorce. Do you understand me!
Koujo: Yes father. But you need to understand this. I'm never divorcing my wife. I love her. Now Put mom on the phone. Here its your good for nothing son. I'm going to work. Qiang said as he handed her back the phone and slamming the door as he walked out it.
Koujo: Mom! Mom are you okay?
Wen: I can't do this anymore. I'm leaving your dad. She said in tears.
Koujo: Mom come here to japan and bring grandfather's spell books. Mai and I will find you an apartment and you can see your grand child. Hell we've been looking for a good secretary for the office. You can have that job.
Wen: Okay son. But how am I going to get there?
Koujo: Mom is dad's office open?
Wen: Yes.
Koujo: I'm going to fax you your flight information. Can you get to the airport?
Wen: Yes. I have money. I'll take a cab. I'll call them as soon as I pack up those book and some of my valuables.
Koujo: Okay mom. I'm finding you a flight now. Okay it's booked and I'm faxing you your ticket now. Now don't forget the ticket or they won't let you on the plain.
Wen: Thank you son I'll see you soon. I love you Koujo.
Koujo: I love you too mom. Mai and I will be there to pick you up.
Wen: Okay son. Bye.
Koujo: Bye for now mom.
The line went dead. I put my head in my hands then punched the desk. I couldn't believe Qiang had hit her like that. I felt so guilty.
Mai walked into her husbands office. Koujo whats wrong love? She asked me as she came up beside me. I pulled her on to my lap and laid my head on her shoulder. She held me and listened to me tell her everything that just happened on the phone between me and my parents.
When is her flight suppost to land? She asked. I looked at the ticket information. One o'clock this after noon.
Well I'm going to see if there's any good apartments for rent. She told me. You don't have to do that. I told her rubbing her swollen stomach. I want to hun. She replied standing up from my lap.
I watched her walk out the door. I looked up at the clock it was seven fifteen. My mother would be on the plain in less then two hours and safely with us in four more. "It will be nice to have mom around and now the baby will have its grandmother near by." I told myself.
The Astral Plane********************
Gene's p.o.v.
I felt like I had searched everywhere for Alan. Where can he be. Suddenly a man appeared in front of me. Are you Eugene? The man asked. Yes. But who are you? I'm William Spears. Is it true you want to be a reaper and help your brother. Will asked in his monotone voice. Yes. I want to help my brother. But I don't know if I'm cut out for this. You'll be fine. Come with me. Will said taking my arm and dragged me through the portal.
Then we where inside The Grim Reaper Dispatch building. Will hulls me to the recruits classes. This is were you will start. Will added my name to the roster sheet. Have a seat classes begin in five minutes. I sit down."What have I gotten myself in to?" I asked myself.
The Office***********************
Noll's p.o.v.
I was talking to Koujo about Wen being the new secretary for the front lounge. I have no problem with that. But what will Mai do? I ask him. What she always has done, a little bit of everything. Noll soon Mai will have to go on maturity leave. My Mom can cover us till she's back. Koujo told me. What will Wen do after Mai's back? I asked.
Your parents do want us to start teaching kids to control their powers. We've been contacted about two sister that have ESP. We can test them and if they do Mai can work with the kids. Koujo said to me. Koujo do you still have that farmers number. I want to see if his daughter Yumi would like to learn about her powers. I'll get you the number. Can you call them I have to pick up my mom from the airport.
Koujo told me while grabbing his jacket and keys. The elevator dinged and Mai stepped out. Perfect timing hun. We need to go get my mother. Koujo told her. Okay. Mai grabbed her jacket that barly fit around her growing belly. Looks like its time for a new one. Koujo said watching Mai. Huch. She told him. They got into their SUV.
Mai's p.o.v. ********************
I'm so nervous. What if she hates me right off the bat? Koujo did say his family hates the Japaneses. What if she tries to convince Koujo to leave me and the baby? I think I'm going to be sick from all this worrying. Just then the baby kicked me hard. Awe little one your a boy aren't you? Already fighting with your mother. I put my hand over my mouth trying to keep myself from getting sick.
Koujo's p.o.v.
I notices Mai's face has worry sketched on it face. Then she looked like she was in pain. Just as I was about to ask her what was wrong she put her hand over her mouth like she was going to sick.
Mai what's wrong?! I asked with panic in my voice. Mai grabbed a bag out of the back seat and threw up in it. I pulled off the freeway. I held her hair out of her face. She finish and threw the bag out the door. I pulled Mai to me. Are you alright? I asked.
Yeah the baby just kicked me in the stomach. When it was already upset. She told me. I held her. Mai why was your stomach upset? I asked. Who knows. That's one of the downsides to being pregnant. She told me hoping I would believe her. But I didn't. Mai stop worrying. My mother is going to love you. I told her as I got back on the freeway.
"I hope he's right and I'm worrying for nothing." She told herself.
Wen had just stepped off the plane. I wrapped an arm around Mai and started to come up to my mother. Mother. I said as Cantonese. She looked around and found me standing there. She came over and gave me a huge hug. Its been to long son. Mai stood behind just acting like she was giving us a minute to ourselves.
I noticed and knew it was nerves. Mother, I want you to meet my wife Mai. I said turning so my mother could see Mai. My mom stood there staring at Mai in shock and awe. She's so tiny! Her belly takes up most of her. But she's so cute. No wonder you couldn't resist this one Koujo. She said having no clue Mai under stood everything she was saying.
Mai told her it was nice to meet her in Cantonese. Wen was now embarrassed. I'm sorry dear. I had no clue you could spoke Cantonese. Wen told Mai. Mom Mai's a perfect medium. I said trying not to laugh. Mai gave me a stop it now look. Well you could of told her that. Mai told me in Japanese.
Honesty it slipped my mind. I told Mai. Wen came to Mai and gave her a hug. Wen noticed their difference in height. Because Mai's face came right above her boobs. Mai thought Wen was probable five, twelve. She had long black hair and honey brown eyes like Mai's. "Maybe that's why Koujo likes my eyes so much." She told herself.
I walked behind the two women as they headed to the baggage claim. I took my mother's bags. You know he's going to want the books back right. Yes and he can have them after I copy them so my children have their Great great grandfather's spells and there's nothing he can say to that. I told my mother. Mai looked disheartening as they put Wen's bags in the back of their SUV.
She knew it was because of her that I and his father were mad at each other. I saw the look on my wife's face but I didn't see the tears forming till she turned to get in the passenger seat. I grabbed her arm and pulled her to me. I let my senses go for a minute and kissed my wife senseless.
"I wouldn't know what to do without this woman and she needs to know that." I thought to meself. I finally removed my tongue from Mai's mouth after hearing my mom cry. We looked at Wen. It does a mother's heart so much good to see he son so in love. She said wiping a way the tears. Mai blushed I kissed Mai lightly once more then helped Mai into her seat.
Wen saw her son truly did love Mai. "He's never acted that way with Madoka and she was his first. So Mai was certainly is going to be his last." She thought with a huge smile as I helped Mai into her seat.
