Part Three: Chaos and Confusion

Koenma is not pleased to be interrupted while trying to catch up with his paperwork. He stares at the ogre, who had the nerve to interrupt him, impatiently. “What?” he snaps.

“Umm, Koenma, sir, you have a call. They say that it is imperative that you take it,” the ogre tells him timidly. Koenma scowls.

“Everyone who calls me says that it is important,” he grumbles before taking picking up the phone. “Hello?”

“Prince Koenma?” an unfamiliar voice inquires.

“Yes. Do you need something?” he asks.

“I apologize for interrupting you but you needed to be informed that one of your spirit detectives has fathered a child.”

“What?”

“One of your spirit detectives, Kazuma Kuwabara, has fathered a child. The demon he impregnated is seven weeks pregnant.”

“If you are trying to cause trouble for my detectives…”

“Sir, I am a doctor. I saw the patient yesterday. He is seven weeks pregnant with Kuwabara’s child. If you have questions I can come there and talk to you.”

“The demon is MALE?”

“Yes, the demon is male.”

“That can’t be right. Kuwabara was kidnapped during that time. There was no way that could have happened!”

“Actually, there is. You see the demon in question was also a captive with Kazuma.”

“Who is this demon?”

“Ani Toguro.”

Koenma’s eyes widen and he almost drops the phone. “A-Ani T-Toguro?”

“Yes, sir, Ani Toguro.”

“How…what…”
“Well, you should know how that happened, prince.”

Koenma manages to calm himself. “I know HOW it would have happened! It’s the fact that ELDER TOGURO is the one pregnant that concerns me. I can’t believe…well, I CAN believe that Kuwabara wouldn’t have revealed that he fathered a child with Ani.”

“Kuwabara doesn’t know.”

“He doesn’t know? Does Oto?”

“Yes.”

“Oh dear. Thank you, I am going to have to cut this short in order to keep a rather evil demon from killing on of my detectives.”

“have a good day, Prince.”

Koenma hangs up without responding. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Kuwabara had gotten Ani pregnant? This was going to cause a whole lot of trouble. He dials a number and waits.

“Hello?” Oto asks.

“If you go anywhere near Kuwabara I will not hesitate to send you straight to limbo!” Koenma snaps, “He doesn’t know and further more, I don’t want you threatening him!”

“He got my brother pregnant, Koenma! How am I supposed to react?”

“You are going to focus on watching Ani and you are going to leave Kuwabara alone. He has enough issues with being a Spirit Detective and being a High school student without worrying about being killed by you for something I don’t think he could help.”

“If you wanted to, you could just not tell him that he got Ani pregnant if it concerns you THAT much.”

“That is true. I could just keep this underwraps. Stay away from him, Oto. He doesn’t need to deal with knowing he fathered a child with his greatest enemy. The four of you can raise that child.”

Once Oto hangs up, Ani knows something is off. “What did he say?” the shorter demon inquires.

“He’s not going to tell Kuwabara anything,” Oto answers, “and he wants me to stay away from him.”

“Maybe it’s for the best. I don’t think Kuwabara would want to know that he fathered a child with me,” Ani murmurs.

“Do you honestly feel that way?” Oto asks.

“I don’t’ think it matters what I do or do not feel.”

“Talk to me, Ani.”

“I don’t’ know anymore, brother. I haven’t been able to think about anything but what happened and now that I know I’m pregnant, I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m confused…I don’t know what to do.”

“I know that. You need to rest more. Stop worrying so much. You’re a champion worrier, you always have been. Karasu, Bui, and I are fully capable of taking care of the house just as well as you do.”

“Be that as it may, you don’t often do it.”

“I know. You do far more then is good for you.”

“You’re beginning to scare me, brother. One would think that you actually have a heart if you keep talking to me like this.”

Kuwabara remembers why he hadn’t wanted to tell anyone about Ani after listening to his sister yell for over two hours at him. With a major headache, he goes outside for some fresh air. He begins walking down the street. ‘I don’t see why she had to do that. It’s not as if I WANTED to take that freakish little midget,’ he thinks bitterly, ‘I would never willingly touch that midget like that!’

‘You wouldn’t?’ a voice in the back of his mind asks, ‘I seem to remember you enjoying him very much.’

‘I did NOT!’ he argues.

‘No?’

‘No.’

‘Don’t lie to yourself, Kazuma. You know full well that given a chance you WOULD take Ani again.’

‘Th-that’s not true! I wouldn’t!’

‘You don’t sound so sure of that.’

‘I am sure!’ Kuwabara shakes his head trying to clear his mind. “I’m arguing with myself, wonderful,” he grumbles, “What else has to go wrong?”

“Hey, Kuwabara, did your talk with Shizuru go well?” Yusuke calls coming up the street. Kuwabara grimaces.

“As well as it can when she yells nonstop for two hours,” he answers.

“Man, I can see why you don’t want to tell Hiei and Kurama today. Why don’t you come home with me and I get you some Tylenol?” Yusuke suggests.

“Sounds good to me. I don’t want to deal with this pounding head all night.” Yusuke grins and heads back the opposite way. Kuwabara follows with the distinct impression that Yusuke had known how Shizuru was going to react and was waiting for him. ‘I can’t wait to see how Hiei and Kurama take this,’ he thinks morosely, ‘If I am lucky, one of them will kill me and get it over with…Hiei probably.’ With a rather bitter smile, he follows his best friend into his house still not wholly understanding his own feelings about the situation at hand and wishing he did.
