Chapter 3

Helpless

 

 

“The Fighter Soubi, has an offspring on the way,” said Natsuo, the feminine looking Zero. He took a slip of his hot tea and gazed out the window to peek out at the morning, the as a sense in the air that it'd be warm out. “How can that be?” asked Yoji, staring at his dear friend. Natsuo pleasantly, “The one who's baring it isn't a woman,” he said, he then put his tea cup down on the wooden coffee table in front of the couch where he sat. Yoji seemed puzzled at his partner's words, “Oh…? Who is it, then?” he asked while he brushed away his aquamarine bangs from his eyes, as he went to sit by Natsuo on the couch. “It's Ritsuka Aoyagi, his sacrifice,” the brunette answered simply.

 

 

“RITSUKA!?” yelled Yoji in shocked and confused, “But…that isn't possible. Males can't give birth,” he lazily leaned his head against Natsuo's shoulder and nuzzled his face into it. “Anything is possible with a birth spell….” Natsuo explained, wrapping his arms around Yoji's petite waist. “Pregnancy…sounds wonderful to experience…” Yoji quietly muttered under his breath, but somehow Natsuo heard him. “Yeah, must be…” Natsuo said in response, “Yeah…” the two males said at once, holding each other dearly. Zeros gazed at each other eye-to-eye it looked like, a smile on each face. Then so suddenly, their lips met in contact with one another. They kiss deeply, as they continued to hold each other.

 

Ritsuka was walking home from school; surprisingly he managed to hide his condition with a baggy black shirt. His artificial ears and tail seemed to be realistic, no one noticed, which was a good thing on his count. His stomach was bulged to its full limit - out through his shirt and his expression was as usual…emotionless. The twelve-year-old's hands idly rubbed his stomach, “It's weird being like this, will I be a good mother to this baby?” he awkwardly asked himself , “But, it's precious at the same time. Hopefully, I won't be like my mother. No, I won't be. I swear I won't be…” Ritsuka told himself with a shy smile upon his lips. His lower abdomen was bigger than Soubi had told him it'd be, but that didn't matter now. Ritsuka felt as though, he needed to, protect this unborn angel from everyone, even Soubi. “This baby, is very important to me, I have to protect it,” he said out loudly, luckily no one heard his words. If they did, it would be the end of him.

 

Soubi was at his house painting, not butterflies though. Instead, he was painting the baby's future room with midnight blue, he painted twilights of shooting stars on the midnight skied walls and also painted pale blue butterflies on it, too. He smiled, “It's been passed three months already now,” he discarded his painting apron and hung up behind the hook of the bathroom door, after leaving the child's room, “Soon…today, we will find out the gender of our child,” he added. Soubi left the house to go find Ritsuka, to see if he was alright. To his luck, Ritsuka was walking up the street towards his house; Soubi noticed even from that distance, something wasn't right. He then, run up to Ritsuka, looking into his eyes. “Soubi…” Ritsuka said softly, suddenly not feeling well. “I don't feel well,” Soubi gazed at his lover with concerned optics. The silence was interrupted with a faint popping noise and the sound a gushing hitting the floor. Soubi's eyes widened, “R-Ritsuka…your water broke…” he said, nearly crying with joy. It was time. Ritsuka blinked and looked at him weird, “What's that mean…?” he asked softly. “It means our child wants to be born. You're going to give birth now, Ritsuka.”

 

 

Ritsuka winced in pain, “I'm scared, Soubi….” he told the tall blond. “Don't be…I'll give Kio a call. He's the only one who knows…he'll help us, I'm sure of it,” Soubi said, calming his lover. He held Ritsuka in his arms and took out his cell phone, dialing Kio's number. “Hello, Kio? Ritsuka's water broke. Come quickly!” he ordered his dear friend. Kio quickly came as requested a few minutes later, “We'll need to get him to your house, Soubi,” Kio said, trying to catch his breath.

 

When they arrive at Soubi's house, they laid Ritsuka down on the bed. “How are we supposed to do this? He's a guy….” Kio asked, as he azed at the young boy in pain. “We can do a natural birth, but it'll come out the other end….” He added, twitching his eye. Soubi nodded at his friend and took off his jacket and put it under Ritsuka's body. With help of Kio, opening up Ritsuka's legs, “It's going to hurt….alot. But it won't after the child's born, okay?” he said preparing himself. Ritsuka bit his lower lip and nodded, “Alright…” he said softly.

 

“Ritsuka, deep breath and push…” said Kio, watching over him while Soubi held the boy's hand tightly. The pain was agony, like he was going to split in two. But he did as he was instructed to do. Taking deep breaths and pushing, while gripping Soubi's hand for comfort. Finally, the birth was over when they all heard a faint little cry. Kio cut the cord and wrapped the child in Soubi's jacket, “Congratulations, it's a girl!” he announced to the couple. Kio handed the child to Ritsuka's embrace. He peered down at her, a beautiful helpless child, blond tuffs of hair and pretty violet eyes like his `mother.' “She's…so beautiful, Soubi…” Ritsuka whispered in awe. Soubi, crying in joy, nodded his head, “Yes, she is…” he said, as he offered a finger for the child to grip. He smiled, as he felt a little hand take hold of it, “My little Saira Victoria….” He muttered softly.
