A/N I suck with all the minor details, spelling and grammar. Happy double chapter kids :)

The next day, Shura could hardly stand. That last appointment took its toll on the expectant female. They had to report to the cram school today, as it was Monday. Yukio had gotten up earlier and done his shower, and got dressed. Knowing thet Shura would need some help. Shura stood up and shuffled her way to the bathroom. Throwing cold water on her face, staring at the burn mark on her wrist. Shaking her head she started the bath.

"Shur. Do you need help?" Yukio asked from the door. She had probably been sleeping for over thirteen hours. Rin was passed out on the couch. Shura flushed the toilet.

"Yuki. I am okay."

"Shura, what did they do to you yesterday?" Shura didn't want to relive it. Tears in her eyes, she shook her head.

"I don't remember." Lies. It was all lies. They burnt her, stabbed her, groped her, shot at her, could've electrocuted her for all they know.

"I am here if you want to talk." Yukio went too wake Rin up. Shura stepped in the shower, and her body relaxed in it. Yukio knocked on the door no more than twenty minutes.

"Shura we need to get going." Yukio said, he opened the door to find that she had finished her hair.

"Yuki, I need help." Yukio took off his upper layer of clothes and went to help her up. She was covered in bruises from head to toe. "Don't worry, those are old."

"They are torturing you."

"They want to see if the baby will omit the flames to protect me." Shura said, watching Yukio wrap her bruised body in a towel. Shura did her own hair. Yukio grabbed her a pair of underwear, bra, ripped light denim jeans, and a nice white top that hugged close to her body. He helped her get dressed once she was dry.

"Yeah but that is inhumane."

"I'd rather them do it to me than our kid's significant other." Shura defended the Pope. She stood up and wiggled into her pants, she put on her shirt by herself. She grabbed some light jewelry and put it on her wrist trying to cover the burn.

"But Shura."

"Yukio. I am stronger than you think." She looked at him with her tired eyes. Yukio helped her up and followed her out of the bathroom. Rin stepped in the bathroom. Shura sat down on the bar stool.

"Shura, you are pregnant. You are weak. As your boyfriend I need to protect you and the baby." Yukio collected the lunch boxes and Shura grabbed the shoulder bag.

"Thank you." She admitted defeat. Rin walked out of the bathroom.

"Why do you guys need me?"

"We want you to blend in. Mephisto gave us a schedule for you." Yukio said, Rin looked confused.

"What do you mean?"

"We mean is that you are going to help the brats become adjusted to the cram school you moron." Shura sputtered, she slid her black converse on.

"Eh okay. You mean like a mentor?" Rin asked, Yukio and Shura both nodded their heads. Shura grabbed her student coat and stood next to Yukio, Rin did the same. Using one of those magic keys, they made it to the cram school.

Yukio, Shura and Rin walked into the sectioned off part of the forest. The students stood up and bowed their heads. Shura unsheathed Fang as it was a tactic to do something out of normal. Holding her breath she called, "Kirigakure Sword Technique. Serpent Fang!" Thankfully, the technique did not rebut back to her and hit its mark. The class screamed like frightened children.

"What would you all do if that happened out in the field?" Shura stated, sheathing her sword back into its case. Shura struggled to sit on the tall tree stump, but she ended up getting up there and crossing her legs.

"Find out who attacked and from where?" Eto said, Shura shook her head in disagreement. Yukio stood behind Eto.

"That technique is close range, so either your pregnant pause will get you killed or you turn around and fight the person standing behind you." Yukio said, standing behind Eto. Using his fingers resembling a knife.

"Boom you'd be dead." Yukio said, Rin smiled.

"Who else, would like to take a guess at this next technique." Shura said as she pulled her sword out one more time. "Kirigakure Sword technique." Shura cut her thumb and smeared blood on it. "Snake Belly!" Fang shifted into three curvy blades in the shape of a snake. "Snake Lance!" She called out, she zig zagged her sword and the lance went out towards the tree, causing it to fall. Shura was breathing hard, she hadn't used her sword in a long time.

"That appears to be a long distance technique."

"Wrong. This technique works best when you are closer to your target than at long distance. You'd be dead."

"Thank you, Miss Kirigakure." Yukio started and he motioned Rin up to the front. "Mr. Okumora, can you demonstrate the next techniques on the Kurikara?" Yukio asked, he knew that drawing the sword out would cause his own flames to spark. Stepping away from the students, walking closer to Shura. He watched Rin open up the Kurikara. Shura put her sword in front of Rin.

"No." Shura said while grabbing two fake swords from her bag. "Use these. Spar." She tossed one to Rin and Yukio. This female was low on patience and magic ability. Yukio took off his jacket and Rin did as well. Thankfully they weren't wearing the same shirt. Sore from her appointment, Shura got up.

"When you spare you stand like you're about to fight." She said, pointing to Yukio. "Feet spread apart, sword drawn in the middle." She waved the two boys on and Rin made the first move. "His first move was a bag mistake. Coming from the air gave Sempei Okumora the chance to block the sword." Which is what Yukio did. Shura started to feel faint, but she stayed on her own two feet. "But whatever you do, you want to keep the sword in your hand."

"I had a trouble with this one." Rin exclaimed, Shura had stole Kurikara from him once again.

"You still do you idiot." She said, as she spun Kurikara around. "You will be defenseless without it." Yukio got Rin's sword out of his hand. Rin fell to the ground and Yukio pushed the sword into the ground.

"You'd be dead." Yukio said, he was breathing rather hard. He helped Rin get up. "Who wants to try it?" Eto and Nakada eagerly raised their hands.

"Shura! Give me back Kurikara!" Shura shook her head.

"No way. You left it out of your sight." Shura smiled, and handed it back to him. "Alright, just because I am pregnant doesn't mean I'm soft."

"Miss Kirigakure?" It was Machi.

"Yes?" Shura replied, she wondered what the student wanted.

"Will you spar with me? I promise I won't hurt you."

"Sorry kid. I really can't. I've already used up most of my energy today." Shura said, "Actually I could, grab one of the wooden sticks."

"Thank you, Miss Kirigakure." Machi said, Sakata looked at her.

"You're going to spar with our teacher? She's obviously pregnant!" Sakata said, Eto looked at Machi.

"You saw what she did to that tree."

"Yeah but these are wood. What harm can they do? Besides, she's pregnant." Machi asked, but when she returned to Shura, Rin was standing in her place.

"Miss Kirigakure needed assistance somewhere in the forest. Mr. Okumora went and helped her." Rin stated.

"She's probably throwing up." Machi giggled. She already felt like she defeated the Paladin.

"Ms. Kirigakure asked me to spar with Machi?" Rin asked, Machi gulped. Rin smiled and stood in ready position, Machi copied. "Don't worry I'll go easy." The next fifteen minutes proved to be a struggle to Rin. Machi matched every move he made, including his stronger moves. Shura and Yukio appeared from the forests edge. Shura's arm was placed over Yukio's.

"You should have stayed home." Yukio whispered to her. Shura shook her head.

"It isn't everyday you find a student that is evenly matched with Rin." She smiled, kissing Yukio on the cheek. The match between Machi and Rin came to a draw. They bowed before each other and Rin threw the stick sword at Shura.

"She's tough. You're up." Shura shook her head in disagreement. Yukio took the stick and out it down next to Shura's bag.

"Class is dismissed. We apologize for not being here. Ms. Kirigakure had a spell of morning sickness.

"Please have a nice day." Shura said, using the key, the kids were brought back to the cram school along with Rin and Shura and Yukio travelled back to the apartment.

"Man I'm beat up." Shura said, putting Fang up above the mantle. Yukio lifted the back of her shirt to find out she had more bruises on her back.

"Shura?"

"They took that long to develop? Baby Satan must be trying to protect his mum." She giggled as she felt the baby kick. Someone knocked on the apartment door; Shura took off her shoes and sat down at the couch. It was Mephisto.

"Hello, Mephisto. What brings you here? We only had one class today." Yukio said, stepping to the side, allowing Mephisto in. Yukio closed the door and followed him.

"Some of your students said that you performed three demon sword techniques in class. Is that true?" Shura nodded her head; she was not going to argue with him.

"Yes. I purposely aimed for the tree that fell down."

"Your technique didn't backfire?"

"No. If I pushed myself then they probably would have." Shura said, Yukio sat right next to the female.

"You seemed to have pushed yourself a little too much in the past few days." Mephisto said, "The students also mentioned that you had left to take care of a spell of morning sickness?"

"Both of those are true. I can't get a handle on the morning sickness." Shura said, she changed her weight to lean on Yukio.

"That is fine. I am ordering you, whenever you have your appointments. Do not come. Come the day after. I am allowing you to take the day off tomorrow, the both of you. Besides, I think you need to go baby shopping" The thought of little babies scared him. Shura had closed her eyes, hardly paying attention to what Mephisto was saying.

"I think she fell asleep." Yukio said, Shura looked adorable sleeping on him. "But I will tell her in the morning, thank you Mephisto."

"Thank you, Yukio." Mephisto disappeared in the thin air. Shura mumbled something then she got up.

"Yuki, come join me." Shura asked, it was hardly 4:00 on the afternoon. She undressed out of her white top, her purple, newly formed bruises were showing. She kept her lacey light blue bra on. Her tattoo was faded, but it was still her mark. Her belly was round, protruding. Yukio walked over to her and placed his forehead onto hers. His hands placed gently on the sides of her bump, carefully rubbing it. Yukio smiled and leaned down to kiss her, once their lips locked, he quickly picked her up and her legs wrapped around him. Yukio used the wall as support, but Shura's back was pressed into it. Her hands gracefully traced his abs from underneath his shirt.

"Shura we shouldn't." He said, placing her feet on the ground. Shura stood on her tiptoes and kissed him passionately. Yukio's hands placed gently on her sides.

"C'mon four eyes. You really want too." She said, eyeing his member. Yukio adjusted his pants, and shook his head, fighting the temptation.

"Shura, you just fell asleep on me like ten minutes ago." Yukio mentioned, taking his shirt off. He pushed the female back to the wall and lifted her chin, biting her lower lip. Shura let out a soft moan. Her hand slid into his pants, caressing his member gently.

"So do you or do you not want it?" She asked, Yukio shook his head, pushing her away. Her hand removed from his pants. "Well I take rejection seriously."

"No I don't. You need sleep, and I can handle myself." The bruises, those bruises were new. She didn't have them this morning. He wanted to examine the bruises while she was sleeping, and send them to Mephisto. Shura shrugged her shoulders and slid her denim jeans off, revealing the matching light blue frilly underwear.

"Your loss, Yuki." She shrugged as she walked to the master closet. She hardly had any clothing that fit her anymore. "Yuki? Can we go shopping tomorrow?" Yukio looked at his phone, looking at the deposit that was just placed in his bank account.

"Yeah. We can do more than just shopping." Yukio said, watching Shura put on one of his button downs, and a pair of athletic shorts. Her bra was off along with her underwear, but she put on Granny Panties.

"What do you mean, babe?" She asked, as she laid on the bed. Her head was placed on her pillow and she looked at him. Yukio put his phone away. He opened up a secret cabinet and locked his guns up.

"We just got paid." Yukio said, turning to look at her.

"Is it good?"

"They're still paying you for Paladin duty Shura." Yukio said, he knew what Shura's code and stuff was.

"What do you mean?" She asked, taking her phone off of the night stand and looking at her bank account. "Let's go shopping!" She yawned at the end of that statement. "Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow." Yukio smiled, he pulled Shura's top up. Shura smiled when he leaned down towards it. "Hello baby. Mommy is going through a little bit of a rough patch but she will be up and moving in no time. Let mommy heal tonight. No more funny business." Shura smiled when he kissed her belly. "Daddy's gonna be right here to protect her."

"Oh stop it. You can't always be here, Yuki."

"Yeah, but I can sure try to be."
