After Dutch left, it was finally quiet and I got some sleep in, but I was woken up by a knock at my door. "Damn it." I couldn't even get five minutes of sleep.
My head was against the desk and my eyes were half-closed. I growled lowly at the knock. "Um... Kyuubi-koi?"
Oh, shoot. I looked up after realizing it was Suki. "Oi, sorry Suki."
"Um I need to talk to you..."
This can't be good. I thought that from the tone she was using.
I shifted in my chair a little but looked away from the desk. "Alright. c'mon in."
She sat down in front of me and had a serious look on her face from the looks of it, with a hint of worry. "Is something wrong?"
"It depends on how you look at it..." she whispered.
So I take it it isn't good news?
"Kyuubi... I'm pregnant"
Oh, that wasn't so bad. "Oh that's nice-" I cut myself off and then analyzed what she just said, "WHAT?! Who did it?! I'll kill him!"
DAMN IT! I SWEAR IF IT'S SHUKAKU, I'LL KILL HIM UNTIL HE'S DEAD AND THEN KILL HIS FAMILY AND HIS FAMILY THAT'S ALL READY DEAD AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! I'LL MAKE SURE HE NEVER HAS CHILDREN! HE'LL BE ON A COMA AND ON A BREATHING MACHINE TO KEEP HIM ALIVE BY THE TIME I'M DONE WITH HIM!
I almost stormed out of the room, but Suki managed to get a light grip on me to prevent me from leaving. "Kyuubi... you're the father."
"I'm... the father?"
Hearing that made me blush and it was like I was in a trance when I was taking it in. "Kyuubi-koi? Are you alright?"
I shook my head in response and I hugged her tightly. I was strong enough not to cry though. I combed my fingers through her hair. "I'm sorry..."
She looked up at me oddly. "Why? You don't have anything to be sorry for."
I shook my head. "All that you're going through now."
"You don't need to apologize. I'm happy," she said.
I thought she might've been lying a little but I left it at that and let her go. "All right," I smiled.
