Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Unexpected Gift ❯ Truths Come Out ( Chapter 2 )

Part Two: Truths Come Out

It doesn’t take too long for Kuwabara’s friends and family members to realize that Kuwabara is hiding something. It is in the way the carrot-top gets rather testy when the mention of his kidnapping is made. “Look, Kuwabara, we know something else happened while you were kidnapped,” Yusuke says stubbornly. Kuwabara completely ignores him. “Come on, man, we’re your friends. You can trust us with this. We aren’t going to turn away in disgust.” Still Kuwabara doesn’t answer. He knows that once he does reveal the truth that they WILL turn away. There was no way they would be able to handle the fact that Kuwabara had to have sex with Ani Toguro. “Kuwabara, tell me what happened. You’ve been acting strange ever since you got back. I’m getting worried.”

“Let it alone, Urameshi!” Kuwabara snaps at him.

“No, Kuwabara. This is starting to effect your performance. What happened while you were kidnapped? Did that demon touch you?”

“No!”

“Then what happened? I promise, I can take it. You can trust me.”

“No you can’t. Not this, Yusuke.”

“So something DID happen!”

Kuwabara sighs realizing that now he had no choice but to tell his longtime friend. ‘I just hope he keeps his word,’ he thinks. “Yes, something happened. There was someone else there as the demon’s prisoner.”

“Who?”

“Elder Toguro.”

“Ani?”

“Yes, Ani. he was taken from that tree Kurama had him in and was warded.”

“I’m beginning to not like this, Kuwabara.”

“Yeah, well you’re not going to. There was a reason I didn’t want to tell you this. You see, this demon decided that because both of us couldn’t defend ourselves that he would have some…fun. He told us that if we didn’t do what he said, we’d be sent to our afterlives and he wasn’t kidding.”

“What did he demand?”

“I had to…to…” Kuwabara’s voice breaks and he can’t finish. He looks away from Yusuke shamefully.

“Kuwabara, what happened?”

“I had to have sex with him okay? I had to have sex with Ani Toguro!” His voice is shaking as he snaps it at him. He watches as the realization dawns on Yusuke’s face.

“Oh my god,” the demon whispers, “You had sex with Ani Toguro? That had to be gross!” Kuwabara deems it necessary to NOT tell Yusuke that it was actually very pleasant. He doubts his friend would be able to handle it. “So that’s what you have been hiding. I can understand now. Man, that demon didn’t die slow enough. So which of you was on top?”

“Me,” Kuwabara answers dejectedly. Yusuke stares at him for a moment before busting into laughter.

“You were on top? That has to be fate’s best dose of retribution. Man, I bet that’s why he hasn’t shown his face if he’s been around since you got out. I don’t think he can stomach having been taken by you,” Yusuke chortles. Kuwabara doesn’t answer. He is just glad that Yusuke seems to be taking it well. That still left the reactions of Hiei, Kurama, and his sister Shizuru.

“Could you not tell Hiei and Kurama just yet? I don’t really feel like dealing with the two of them on the same day I tell my sister. Shizuru’s going to take it badly enough and I don’t want to hear Hiei insult me,” Kuwabara asks.

“Who is the father?”

“I am not telling you, Oto.”

“Who?”

“I am NOT telling you.”

“Who?”

“None of your goddamn business, brother!” Ani grits his teeth and glares up at the burly demon. This was the eighteenth time they had this argument and it is sorely tempting Ani to skewer his brother. It was bad enough he was pregnant without having to deal with a nosy younger sibling. He storms out of the room and outside to avoid a longer argument that went absolutely nowhere and left Ani feeling ill. He wanders around the backyard trying NOT to think about the situation at hand. Unfortunately, it seems to be all he CAN think about. ‘I am carrying Kuwabara’s child…this is beyond pathetic,’ he thinks, ‘Stupid human just HAD to get captured didn’t he? Why is it he’s always the one to get kidnapped? If he had just been slightly more intelligent maybe this never would have happened. Why the hell did that demon drag me there anyway?’

“Ani, what is going on?” a familiar and rather confused voice inquires. Ani turns around to see Bui and Karasu looking at him curiously. It was Karasu who had asked the question. Ani scowls.

“What are you talking about, Crow?” he demands.

“Your argument with Oto,” Karasu answers. Ani grits his teeth. They had heard them? This was wonderful. ‘Why oh why did you feel it necessary to send Bui and Karasu back to us, Koenma?’ he wonders, ‘Did you know what sort of torture that would be?’ “Ani?”

“Would you like to live long enough to go bother Kurama?” the shorter demon demands.

“Yes,” Karasu answers.

“Then mind your own business, both of you,” he snaps. Bui and Karasu decide not to push the issue with Ani and head inside…probably to ask Oto. Ani growls realizing that his brother would probably tell them just to spite him. ‘This day just keeps getting better and better,’ he thinks heading inside to see what his brother told them.

“He’s what?” Karasu’s voice carries into the foyer and Ani sighs. Of course, he knew his brother all too well. He walks into the living room and finds both Bui and Karasu staring at his brother in shock.

“Why don’t you tell him, Ani?” Oto asks. Ani glares at him.

“It is really none of his business, little brother, nor is it yours. I would like to remind you that I am still OLDER then you and I don’t take well to you vexing me,” Ani retorts.

“Are you pregnant?” Bui asks. Ani sighs.

“Yes, I am seven weeks pregnant! Are you happy now?” he grits out.

“Who’s the father?” Oto asks. Ani growls.

“None of your damn business, baby-brother!” he yells.

“I want to know who it is.”

“Well, that, Oto, is your problem NOT mine! I would really like it if you would stop stressing me out so much. I have enough issues without you trying to get information that is none of your business. I don’t even like the fact that you know I am pregnant!”

“It’s my right to know who’s child you’re carrying.”

“No, actually, it’s not. I am older then you therefore, you don’t have to know anything about me that I don’t think is prudent.”

“Don’t make me get angry, brother.”

“Don’t threaten me. You know full well you don’t scare me at all.” Ani crosses his arms and stares at him stubbornly. He is not about to admit who the father is. One, he knows how his brother will react, and two, he doesn’t want to admit it to himself. The phone rings interrupting the conversation. Ani picks it up. “Hello?”

“Ani?”

“Yes. Who is this?”

“You were here yesterday for tests…”

“Oh you, what do you want to tell me now?”

“Well, you are aware of who the father is right?”

“Yes, I know who he is.”

“Well, in a situation like this, Koenma is going to get involved.”

“What?”

“Well, it is one of his detectives. He is going to be notified.”

“Koenma is going to be notified? How much more bad news are you going to give me BEFORE you leave me alone?”

“We need to talk to your brother.”

“Absolutely not! I draw the line at you telling HIM anything!”

“It is policy, Ani!”

“I don’t care if it is the law! You are not going to talk to my brother!” The phone suddenly gets yanked from his hand and he’s gently shoved out of the way.

“Hello, this is Oto,” his brother says. Ani closes his eyes wishing desperately that he was dead. He watches his brother’s reaction and cringes when he sees his brother’s shoulders tense. “The father is WHO?” he asks in a soft dangerous tone. Ani trembles and waits. “Kuwabara. The father is Kuwabara? Thank you, you’ve been very helpful.” He hangs up the phone and faces Ani who looks ready to flee. “How the hell did THIS happen!”

“I…umm…” Ani stammers.

“You umm, what?”

“I was warded! There wasn’t much that could have been done!” Ani snaps at him.

“You do realize that Koenma is about to find out, right? Does he know?”

“Who, Kuwabara? No, he doesn’t know. I don’t want him to know either!”

“Well, I hate to say this but I think that he’s going to find out after Koenma discovers this.”

“Leave me alone, brother. I don’t want to talk about this,” Ani tells him tiredly. He looks up at his brother, “Please, just let this go. I need you on my side…for once.” He sees Oto look shocked. “I mean it, Oto. I need my brother on my side…please.” The burly demon sighs.

“You have the worst luck of anyone I have ever met,” Oto murmurs, “all right, calm down. We’ll talk about this AFTER Koenma contacts us yelling and screaming.” Ani smiles softly and nods.

“Thank you, brother.”
