Kano looked over. "Haruka, it's ok to let your feelings out."

"I'm...I'm...I'm f-f-fine..." Haruka stuttered as tears rolled down her face.

Kano grabbed Haruka then hugged her.

Haruka started to cry harder as she hugged Kano back.

"It'll be ok. Just let it all out," Kano's soothing voice rang through the air as she patted Haruka lightly on the back.

"I just can't accept the fact that my brother is dead," Haruka muttered between sobs.

"No one can Haruka," Kano replied.

Haruka pulled away then walked over to Daisuke. "I'll avenge you if it's the last thing I do!" Just then, life fibers shot out of Haruka and shocked her as she clapped her hands on Daisuke.

"Haruka calm down!" Kano yelled as she grabbed her katana, using it as a shield.

"Don't...tell me...what to...do!" Haruka shouted as the shock became stronger and the door slammed open from the impact.

Everyone downstairs saw the red light shoot out of the room.

Without thinking, Ryūko threw her pillow aside then ran upstairs with everyone close behind. They all stopped at the door.

Ryūko bent down panting.

Senketsu put his hand on Ryūko's back lightly. "Don't overdo it Ryūko."

Ryūko held up her hand then looked up. "Yeah yeah I know..."

"Kano get out of there!" Everyone yelled.

Kano did as she was told then hugged her mother while still watching the action.

"How come I'm not feeling any pain?! I don't understand! I'm being controlled or something like that!" Haruka thought. "I feel my life being sucked out of my system!" Suddenly, Haruka felt what could be described as a bang in her heart, as if a bullet went through it. She fell to her knees holding her heart. "Arrrrrggghhhh!"

Ryūko's eyes widened. "Haruka!" Ryūko started to trudge over to her but was stopped by a hand holding her wrist.

"Ryūko..." Satsuki started. "Don't go in there. You know what might happen to...you know..." Satsuki looked downwards.

Ryūko looked down then at Haruka then down once again. "I don't care. I'm not loosing Haruka!"

Satsuki sighed. "Please be careful." And with that, Satsuki let go of Ryūko as everyone watched her trudge over to her daughter.

"He's...almost...alive..." Haruka yelled. Suddenly the red shock became so gigantic, it shocked the living day lights out of Haruka. With one final scream, Haruka's hands left Daisuke's body as she fell to the floor.

Ryūko looked from Daisuke to Haruka. "What the even hell?!" Ryūko looked over at Haruka once more. She wasn't moving. Over whelmed, Ryūko kneeled next to Haruka. "Haruka? Haruka! Please wake up!" She shook her hand.

A few minutes later, Haruka spat out what seemed like twenty gallons of blood then started panting. "Check...on...Daisuke..." Haruka closed her eyes.

"Haruka please don't die one me! Please!" Ryūko held her hand.

Everyone flooded into the room. Senketsu tasted some of Haruka's blood.

"She's still alive. But she's hanging onto life," Senketsu spoke.

"Oh thank goodness..." Ryūko sighed in relief.

Satsuki and Junketsu checked on Daisuke. A drop of blood dripped from his mouth. Junketsu took the drop onto his finger then tasted it. His eyes grew wide. "He's alive...just barely..."

Satsuki's mouth flew open. "So...Haruka..." Satsuki couldn't finish her thought.

Ryūko's eyes were full of tears. She was frozen. "Daisuke...is alive?"

Senketsu took a drop of blood from each sibling then licked each drop. "They're feeling the exact same things. Same eveything..."

Kano looked up. "I think I know what to do..."

Everyone turned their heads towards Kano.

"If you think you know what you're doing...then do what you must..." Ryūko replied asshe moved away from the kids.

Kano picked up Daisuke then gently put him next to Haruka. She then grabbed one of their arms and made them hold hands. "Auntie Ryūko I need you."

Ryūko trudged over to Kano then kneeled next to her. "What do you want me to do?"

"I need you to hold their clasped hands and try to trigger the life fiber shock," Kano explained.

Ryūko took a second to understand what she said then nodded. "Ok. Everyone step back."

Everyone did as they were told.

"Here I go," Ryūko said as she held onto the clasped hands and got shocked. The kids got the same effect as their mother. Everyone watched in suspense.

After about five minutes, the twins' eyes slipped open slightly.

"Auntie Ryūko I think you're good," Kano spoke.

Ryūko let go of their hands then panted while holding a thumbs up.

Senketsu ran over to Ryūko holding her hand. "Ryūko calm down. Just breathe ok? You'll be alright," Senketsu spoke softly.

"Yeah yeah I know what to do. I've done this before," Ryūko replied staring at the ground. She then looked up to see how the twins were doing.

"Mommy, Daddy, help me get them onto the bed," Kano instructed.

Satsuki carried Haruka while Junketsu carried Daisuke over onto the bed.

Haruka turned her head to look at Daisuke then smiled. "Daisuke?" she murmured.

"Yes Haruka?" Daisuke murmured back.

"Welcome back..." And with that, they both fell asleep.


"Senketsu...Junketsu...Satsuki...I'm done for today..." Ryūko said in a soft quiet voice then passed out.

"Ryūko..." Satsuki murmured.

"She's been through a lot today. I think I'll just put her in bed now," Senketsu spoke.

"Good idea," Junketsu replied.

"I'll be back...we'll discuss future plans when I get back...just go downstairs for now, all of you," Senketsu commanded as he picked up Ryūko and put her in between her kids then walked downstairs.

"So what are we gonna talk about?" Kano asked.

"Ok well um we gotta tell you something...but you can't tell the twins alright?" Satsuki spoke.

"Well w—I mean yes Mother..." Kano responded.

"Alright so to put this as simple as possible, Ryūko is pregnant with another kid, and she's gonna have mood swings and be way more tired than she used to be. So don't mess with her got it?" Satsuki explained.

"Yes Mother," Kano answered.

"Alright so the plan for the next few months are to get Ryūko to rest at home as much as she can. We can't risk letting her go into battle with a baby in her. And we can't take the risk of those boys, Nui, and especially Ragyō to find out," Senketsu explained.

Everyone nodded.

"But what happens if they ambush the house?" Kano asked.

"Then we defend her and each other," Senketsu replied.

"But how are you going to attack? You can't use Ryūko as a host," Junketsu stated.

"I'll...I'll figure something out. Don't worry about me," Senketsu said with a smile.

"Alright so a review: We're not letting Ryūko go into battle and we have to do everything to protect her," Junketsu stated.

"Don't forget the part about not irritating Auntie Ryūko," Kano piped in.

"Yes that too," Satsuki responded with a chuckle. "Just be very cautious. She is extremely short-tempered."

"Noted," Junketsu and Kano responded.

"Also, Satsuki, I've been meaning to ask you something," Senketsu said.

"And that is..." Satsuki waited.

"When are you gonna tell Ryūko and the rest of my family that you're having another kid too?" Senketsu questioned.
