78. We moved In and Beginning a life Once Again...
Prepare For a HUGE time Skip, and Don't worry.. This will all be explained in Book TWO! XD After this is one more Chapter! ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR BOOK TWO!? XD
Silver had stayed quite that week, and for a few more weeks to come... They were to busy as they packed and fixed boxes upon boxes... It even got so bad that their power got turned off and they coudln't see hardly anything wen they were moving things at night.
The good thing was they could get food thanks to the social services.. They needed it bad and at times Tomoe would gather them all and they would all sit in the floor of the dark living room and light a fake fire.
The orange light shown on them as Tomoe and Nanami talked, Gwen made up stupid stories and even as Silver worked late into the night he brought Lily over when she got off work. She helped with her levitating powers and surprisingly she hit it right off with Nanami.
But he couldn't get the pendant out of his mind... He didn't know what it was, It seemed to affect him slightly; and he didn't knwo what it was. In fact, it confused him... more then anything. Tomoe had the other half of the Ying and Yang...
The white pedant, the other part. He didn't understand.. and yet he remembered a woman laughing and telling him to,
' Calm down. Brothers don't argue..'
Silver shook his head.
Today was the one day.. the one day where they didn't have to worry about Power, or food.. But they did have to worry about the pouring rain that was being shone outside.. and for the fact that Nanami bent down to pick up a box and lift it up...
" WHOA!" Tomoe, Mizuki and Kurama screamed as Nanami whined when they yanked her arms back. Akura-ou went and out the box before Silver yanked it from him and rolled his eyes.
" STOP TREATING ME LIKE A CRIPPLE!" Nanami suddenly snapped leaving Tomoe to blink. His eyes grew wide whiel Gwen laughed weakly.. Ah.. the wonderful Momozeno snap. She remembered her husbands look... it terrified him for a long time. She giggled whiel Mizuki whined and hid behind Kurama.
Kurama shivered and swallowed while Nanami rubbed her stomach, it was out there now and what worried Tomoe was that it was raining outside. Plus it was in the middle fo winter and the rain was ice cold...
And Nanami was Eight months by this time around.
Tomoe bit his lip and sighed out while Silver rolled his eyes and looked out the window Kurama had pulled the moving truck to the back of the house so they could move the boxes easier but Nanami was getting antsy.. and crampy. And REALLY IRRITATED.
This only made Tomoe bit his lip slightly, She was twitching by this time and Silver, Lily, Akura-ou, Mizuki and Kurama were helping him move boxes to the SMALL moving truck they had. They already had some of the boxes at the flat and the place had been cleaned after a week or two.
Now they were moving out of the big house that Tomoe had known oh so well. It made him sigh out as he looked up at the high ceilings and high rafters before looking at Nanami who was ranting at her mom abut how hot she was at the moment.
He watched Gwen sigh and hand Nanami a hand fan before he chuckled weakly and walked over to her,
" Why don't you get in the car?" He smiled softly and stroked her head, this made the girl look up at him with her bright brown eyes. He smiled brightly at this... he loved her eyes, he loved them so much. Just like he loved her. More then anything in this whole world.
Even if they were going to a scary flat..who cared really? He'd be with her. nd he was glad with this. More then anything actually..
Tomoe sghed out and looked around the house before Nanami nodded and paused,
' Can We get sushi later on?" She pouted before Tomeo sent her a look.
" Not until the baby is born.' He smiled slightly making the girl grumble. She wanted fish.. she wanted to eat fish dang it! She growled and looked down before Tomoe smiled weakly and kissed her neck in a light peck. This caused the girl to pause and blush before he smiled and sighed.
" Just get ready to see ur new home.. kay?" he smiled gently before the girl nodded weakly and sighed out.
" But I have to warn you.." He winced and leaned on the couch, which was the last thing that needed to be moved ( And Silver was ranting for him to move-Which he ignored. ) , " Since its raining.. ' he paused and then laughed, " There will be a leak or two." he smiled brightly before Akura-ou walked in.
His eyes narrowed before he shivered and then whined out, ' WHAT RAIN!?" He snapped and shivered before Tomoe froze and looked out at the window. He froze up when he saw snow starting to pour down... making him wince.
Silver rolled his eyes and pushed Tomoe out of the way before grumbling darkly,
' Idiot! Your setting us behind!" he snapped and got one side of the couch as Akura-ou helped get the other. Mizuki and Kurama held open the french doors that was part of the house and carried it to the moving truck. The couch almost didn't fit but they made it slightly.'
Once inside they closed the door and slapped the back before the moving man went ahead of them.. This only left Tomoe to stand and look at the inside of the empty house.. some things were being left behind since he coudln't keep it all.
It made him sigh slightly as he slowly looked at the window seat by the largest window in the house, he looked out the window and shivered as he looked at the snow.. it was building up fast which meant they shoudl be leaving instead of him just staring..
But he couldn't help it.
Tomoe gently brushed the ledge of the window, touching it softly and biting his lip.. This house had bad memories.. but.. It had more good ones. And that was something that he would miss more then anything in the whole world.
The fox bit his lip as he remembered a little white haired boy jumping up and down climbing up on the seat and starring at the snow. It made tears form in his eyes as he looked at the little boy and gently wraped his scarf around his neck.
The little boy looked at him before Tomoe smiled gently and sighed out,
" Goodbye.." he whispered softly before the byo blinked and giggled.'
" Your me right?" The boy smiled brightly before Tomoe blinked in shock. he then giggled and laughed,
" You can't say goodbye to yourself Baka!" The child laughed before Tomoe choked.. Tears started to slip from his eyes before the child giggled and hugged him.. but faded softly as the memory traced its way back into the dark corridors of the house...
And Tomoe felt someone touch his shoulder onyl making him cuddle the hand and gently kiss it. Nanami smiled gently at him and sighed out,
" Its going to be okay.' She whispered gently as she snuggled him. Tomoe smiled weakly and nodded,
" Yeah.." he whisered, ' I know.. I'm just.. saying goodbye for a little while." he chuckled gently and kissed her cheek, this made the girl smile and then sigh out weakly. She rubbed circles on his back making him sigh out and then laugh.
" Everyone is gonna be mad we're late.." he whispered before she giggled and kissed him softly.
" Yeah I know..' She smiled gently and nuzzled him as he chuckled softly and stood up, he gently grabbed her hands and helped her up; making the woman laugh slightly and pat her stomach.
" Our child is kicking alot today.' She winced out but Tomoe smiled weakly and laughed.
" It is a Yokai..' he whispered before Nanami smiled slightly.
They had decided a few months back that they wanted the babies gender to be a surprise, they didn't know what they were gonna get yet.. But they were excited. She had been through all her check up's.. Her prenadles... Even Tomoe took a few- only so she wouldn't whine to much.
Tomoe gently placed his head on her tummy and smiled softly,
" It is kicking like crazy.' he chuckled and looked at her shyly, " I guess its like its mom when she sleeps huh?" He smirked before Nanami smacked him on the head.
" Thats not funny! I toss and turn! So what!?" She whined before Tomoe laughed and sighed out, He gently took her hand and then sighed out as he pecked her lips and blushed. Even after all this time it was still weird to do that, not that he minded.
" Lets go.' he whispered before Nanami laughed and nodded as she stroked her stomach and then winced softly.
' I swear it has your strenght.' She whined before Tomoe rolled his eyes and blushed.
" Whatever.."
This set the girl off and made her laugh..
Yeah... Lets go.. Into this new life that we were given.
Into this new life with you.'
Nanami blanched as They pulled up into the flat like apartment parking lot. She blinked in shock while Gwen patted her shoulder. Tomoe winced but sighed out as he bit his lip,
" Thank god we got here on time.. the snow is so bad we woudln't made it.' He muttered and then shivered as he looked at Nanami. He smiled weakly as his violet eyes shone with anticipation.
' Lets go in okay?" He winced slightly as he looked at her. Nanami on the other hand nodded weakly and bit her lip as she pushed her door open only to be blasted with snow, ice and cold air. The girl whined and shivered before Tomoe hopped out and helped her out..
Gwen climbed out and sighed when she saw Kurama and Mizuki run into the flat.. It was on a top floor t her dismay, which meant stairs. Silver and Akura-ou was already inside, trying to get the planks dried from the rain and then trying to stuff some of the holes in the ceiling by nailing some two by fours to it.
Mizuki started to help which made Silver glare, this only Made Kurama take it up instead.. not much change by who cared? As long as the snow stopped coming in. Then Mizuki and Akura-ou hauled in a heater. He plugged it in and sighed out weakly softly.'
" Thsi might warm up the bedroom for them.' He paused then smirked, " That might be helpful for them.' He smiled brightly before Kurama smacked his head.
' Perv.." he muttered before mIzuki whined and Gwen walked in. She shook the snow off, shivered and ran to the heater as she rubbed her hands together and bit her lip.
" Man.. I havent' seen this bad of a blizzard since my childhood.' She mutted as Silver nodded and looked at his phone.
" Says it will be going on for phones and to stay off roads.. " he muttered before Akur-ou turned on the buildings heat as well. it soon started to get a bit toasty, just enough to live in. Meanwhile Tomoe helped Nanami up the stairs and opened the door for her before the girl walked in and blinked.;
What she saw was a long oaky hardwood floor. It was shined so it didn't look that bad.. She smiled slightly and noticed most of the walls were grey and cjipped, but that would be fixed.. she knew this.
At least it was warm after all. There was door on the guest bed room, but it had a sheet.. Again, that would be replaced. But what she loved the most was how the hallway stepped down twice, and they had a HUGE circular living room. It led out to a HUGE balcony.. the windows had been sealed and replaced a week ago so the heat was trapping nicely..
Maybe a little to nicely.
Nanami smiled whiel Tomoe looked at her slightly,
" Now I know its not much.. but we worked hard on it.' he smiled weakly before the girl chuckled and smiled. She patted her stoamch and covered her mouth before choking, earning a tissue from Silver.. but he refused to aknowldge he gave it to her.
Nanami chuckled weakly, " I love it.." She whispered and then paused. She winced and ground her teeth as she patted her stomach again,
" Dang it Tomoe..' Nanami whined, " Its kicking alot..' She huffed as she stroked her stomach, Tomoe smiled sheepishly before he closed the door... But as soon as the door clicked shut? As soon as it closed?
Nanami choked and gripped the side wall, her eyes grew wide as Tomoe froze from the sound of a splash...
Then Silver blinked and jerked his head towards the floor, he looked under his feet and gagged at the goofy liquid while Akura-ou went pale,
' Ew..." he whined and stepped back before Nanami choked. Thats When Tomoe yelped and froze up before Gwen paled...
" OH MY GOD!" Nanami yelped and held her stomach a little lwoer then usual, " T-Tomoe.." She whined, "Its coming.. " She yelped, " ITS COMING!" She screamed in panic before Tomoe froze up..
Oh god NO!'
" GAAHHHH! MOMMAAA! NO! KEEP THAT IDIOT AWAY FROM ME! I DON'T WANNA SEE HIS FACE AT ALL!" She screamed as Tomoe paled. Gwen had pulled out a futon and laid it down for Nanami, it was older but who cared.. it was gonna get soiled anyway.
They had spent five miutes trying to figure out how this baby was going to be born. It kind of went like.
" WE HAVE TO GET YOU TO A HOSPTIAL!"
" ARE YOU BLOOMING CRAZY! YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING OUTSIDE!'
" STOP SCREAMING AND PAY ATTNETION TO ME!"
" RIGHT!"
Now Nanami was wailing out in pain as Inari walked in, covered in snow. Thank god he was a wheat god, and a doctor. If not then they would of been screwed. Right now Nanami was wailing out in pain as Tomoe stood back..
Only because he was watching in amazment before going green,
' Oh god..' he groaned, " Thats so gross.' he whined out in panic before Gwne had him sit beside Nanami and hold her hand. The mother went to the productive end and bit her lip slightly. She sighed out as Nanami whined and cried before Inari came in and tiwtched.'
" Now?" he muttered and sighed out as he looked at Nanami and it his lip, He then looked at Tomoe weakly.
" Did you two take ANY birthclasses?" he muttered before Tomoe blinked.
" Whats those.." he trailed off before Inari galred and dragged a hand through his hair. Gwen got up and shooed Silver, Akura-ou and Kurama out.. Mizuki was already out and gagging from the sticky mess that ONE of them had to clean up. Before it stained the floor anyway.
Inari then sighed out weakly and looked at Nanami,
" Okay sweetie.." he whispered gently, ' I need you to breathe gently and calm down a bit. I know thats hard to ask but I know you can do it.. Your a strong girl.' He smiled as Nanami paused and then nodded slightly. She started to breath slightly, trying to calm down.
Gwen shut the door so no one knew what was going on inside or outside the door... And Then Inair smiled weakly as Nanami groaned weakly and cried weakly. She looked at Tomoe and choked, tears in her eyes.
" I.. I can't do this."she cried out and panicked slightly before Tomoe held her hand and kissed her knuckles. He bit his lip and then smiled shyly at her... God how she loved that shy look. She swallowed as he smiled.
' You can.. I know you can.' he whispered gently as Nanami choked and gripped his hand tightly, he winced as she did so... Then She choked and breathed as Inari smirked and nodded gently.'
" Okay.. Push.' he nodded as Gwen held hot water and gave Inari a towel.. This left the girl to whine and then cry out weakly as she tried..
Tomoe just wished then she didn't make his hand go numb from all the pressure..
Nanami cired out in pain before Inari blinked and laughed, " Its Crowning! One more time.." he chuckled before Nanami cried and whined, tears in her eyes before she choked and slightly screamed, pain in her eyes before Inari paused...
He bit his lip and looked at Gwen who covered her mouth and shook her head.. Tomoe on the other hand froze up, his heart dropped slightly.. Where was the screaming? The wails? Nanami even looked confused as she looked at Inari.
Inari on the other hand swallowed and bit his lip, pain flashed over his eyes before he bit his lip and looked down slightly.
" A boy.." he whispered leaving Nanami to blink. A boy? Her family could only have girls so this shocked her, yet made her smile slightly... but.. Something wasn't right.
' Inari..' Tomoe muttered, his voice in warning before the man swallowed and sighed out.
' I'm sorry.." he whispered softly.'
Tomoe froze slightly, his eyes wide in panic Before Inari bit his lip slightly and looked down at the lifless baby in his arms. He didn't understand.. A few minutes ago it was kicking Nanami like crazy.. and now..
Tomoe choked slightly as Inari shook his head and sighed out as he let the teen carry his dead son. Tears welled up in his eyes, streaming down his face slightly.
" Is this a punishment for... For getting her pregnant?" He choked, tears streaming down his face as he held the boy to his face and whined out, ' I"m so sorry..' he whispered, " It was wrong.. what I did was wrong... I just didn't want to loose you!" He wailed out.
Tears streamed down his face as he covered his face with the liitle white haired boy, he nuzzled him and choked, tears running down his face before Nanami covered his mouth and wailed..
Maybe this was punishment.. Because of what had happened and because he got her pregnant... Nanami choked and looked at her baby.. the thing that had grown in her for eight months... HE WAS DEAD! DEAD!
And She couldn't help but want to blame herself..
She covered her face in greif before She cried as well.
The baby stayed still, his hair white as he was breathless.. and Tomoe cried, his heart broken, who would not have a broken heart! He wanted this baby, he wanted this little boy!
He cried out and choked, his white hair shading his eyes as tears ran down his face and gently touched the cheeks of the child in his arms... his child, their child. Their baby boy.. THEIR BABY!
" P-Please.. " He choked, " I'm sorry.' He whispered and gently held his son.. he had waited for a while, after all this time packing.. after all of it getting ready for this baby. They even had a small nursey they were going to set up in the room..
But not now..
Tomoe choked and groaned in agony, tears running down his pale face.. Maybe he was so grieved and he didn't see the room darken.. maybe he didn't feel it go cold, and he didn't see the dead child in his arms start to breathe slightly.
BUT, The baby boys white hair turned from white to a dark abony black, streaking his ears and tail and it slowly stopped.. showing the child's hair had went black completely.. But Tomoe didn't see it...
But until something happened that almost knocked the heat off in the room, it made Tomoe freeze; his eyes wide as Nanami sucked in her breath and then groaned in pain as she rubbed her stomach.
Inari blinked in shock and Gwen swallowed harshly before They saw a women.. An awefully beauitful but for some reason scary woman. Tomoe nearly jumped but held his son protectively as she folded her arms and huffed,
"Child born only to die the day you were born, one who is fated to create pain. " She narrowed her eyes, ' My name be Uniliya, I control death itself.. Now all around you child.." She galred at the baby, " Listen well."
Tomoe paused and froze, God of death... What was she doing, why!? He choked in panic as Nanami froze up and gently touched her baby in panic, what was going on and why!? Ad Why was this woman talking to her dead son! The boy was dead and even if he was alive he woudln't understand! He was only a baby!
But she continued to talk as she looked at the child,
"For my power will bring you back- for it is not your time- but be warned for there will be consequences to what I have seen you do in the future." The woman glared and hissed, her eyes narrowed in hate on the infant.' Tomoe clucthed the child close to his chest, What could his son possibly do that coudl anger her so much!
But he didn't care..
She said she would bring him back! If She'd bring him back.. then.. Tomoe paused in shock, He didn't care what his son did. Whatever he did in the future, wither it be bad or good.. He'd always love him. And He wanted to be what his father wasn't! He didn't care anymore!
Even if the child did the most horrible deed, he'd forgive him... HE'D FORGIVE HIM UNLIKE HIS FATHER WHO DID NOT CARE AT ALL FOR HIM! He'd be much better then that, he swallowed and looked up at Uniliya,
" I will never forgive you for what you did to HER but be warned, Unless you redeem yourself and love the world enough to appreciate it- my anger will not be quenched! I will allow you to live until you are twenty five in order to fix what you did but if you are unable to then that will be the year you die. However-"
Uniliya paused "If you can learn to let go of your pain and not only learn to respect but appreciate life, and find away to redeem yourself for crimes that are most cruel, Then... and Only then will I extend your life. But be warned, my curse- my anger is never to be taken likely, for unlike my brother who will extend and sustain life, I will be angered enough to make you suffer an eternity for your past mistakes. My power will leave you suffering to the point that you'll beg for death but will only get it once your time is up" she said sternly as she looked at the baby boy... . She then paused and sighed out,
"I know that there will be times that you'll end up in life threatening situations which is why I'll allow this 'gift' to keep you alive but be warned" her eyes narrowed "The moment you hurt HER is the moment my curse will reveal it's mark and fester to the point that nothing will take the pain away" Uniliya narrowed her eyes slightly and breathed out..
Tomoe stared at her in shock.. So his son woudl hurt somone? But who?And Why? But he cared not.. He would not let his son die so early... HE WOULDN'T! he'd do anything to help him, and if that meant protecting him and letting him see life in a brand new way..
Then so be it..
He swallowed and looked at his child gently, her eyes searching the infants face slightly in panic.'
Tomoe looked at his baby weakly, pain in his eyes.. before the baby coughed out.
Blood formed past his lips but his hair stayed black and his beauitful brown eyes turned from brown to a dark red.. A red that was creamy.. and out of tune with the world. He coughed and tried to breath before he started to breath and cry...
But his hair and eyes made Tomoe and Nanami blink and cringe. Inari shuddered in shock as he bit his lip, and Nanami choked slightly as the baby tried to find light about him.
As the chill started to die down Tomoe bit his lip and choked as he held the baby close. He cuddled him before Nanami smiled weakly.
Nanami smiled an dgasped as she looked at her baby, crying in releif before Tomeo looked up to thank the woman.. But she was gone.
He froze up in shock before stroking his sons cursed hair... Not really caring as he kissed his head over and over again and cried gently..
" H-Hi.." hechoked andnuzzled him, ' Hi buddy.." he choked and smiled brightly whiel Gwen suddnely smiled and covered her mouth. Inari grinned and started to help clean up be fore Tomeo paused and looked at Nanami smiled,
" He doesn't look like a Koto Anymore.' Tomoe smiled weakly before Nanami blinked and then nodded. They had decided on that name.. but right now.. the beauitful baby.. the baby boy.
He didn't quite look like a Koto, So Tomoe smiled and stroked the babies twitches ears before whispering,
" Hiru.." he whispered and stroked the babies head.. making him whine and gurgle...
Nanami blinked but smiled slightly and nodded, her eyes wide but happy,
' Okay.. Hiru it is then." She whispered gently as Tomoe let her hold the baby and coo. The couple looked past the cursed black hair, and then creamy red eyes that now faded to brown... They didn't care. He was theirs... he was THEIRS!
And Tomoe and Nanami couldn't be happier..
The baby suddenly cried out and whined, tears in his little eye sas he pouted and waved his arms about.. and Tomoe couldn't help but smile down at their little mircale...
