This is my first cross over I'd love C&C but please don't flame me for it to bad ok? Well then let's get it on!

 The next morning when Anja woke up she felt horrible! Her stomach lurched and she couldn't make it to the bathroom in time.

 "Anja, time to. . ." Shori looked at the bedraggled, disgusted girl and then the vomit on the floor.

 "I can't believe I did that." She said sickly, "kaasan, excuse me, I need to go get something to clean this up." She swayed on her feet and Shori caught her and put her back on the bed.

 "I'll take care of it you lay down."

 "But I. . ."

 "No buts. You lay down and stay still."

 Anja sat back on the bed and frowned.  I hate bed rest!

 "You might have gotten a bug or something in the Makai, you stay there and
I'll get Shuuichi. He'll know."

 Shuuichi didn't know, but he went and got Yukina.

 The blue haired girl ran her hands over Anja and they glowed a dull blue
light until her stomach where they flared white. Her gaze shot up to the girl on the
bed and she nibbled her lower lip.

 "What is it? I feel fine now, really." Anja insisted.

 "Anja have you ever. . ."

 "What?"

 The Koorime maiden blushed, "When Kuronue and Shura were here with
you. . .  did you three. . . love?"

 "Of   course I loved them both very much."

 "No,. . . ah. . . physically?"

 "You mean. . ." Anja went pale, "‘Kina you don't mean that I. . ." She felt sick
again, "Oh God! Oh God!"

 "Calm down." Yukina held her friend, "It seams to have Kuronue's ki
signature and yours even a tiny bit of Shura's and that Chinese boy's but there is no
doubt this is Kuronue's child."

 Anja placed a hand over her flat abdomen, ran it down the firm corded
muscles there. "A baby." She shook her head, "I'm going to have Kuro's baby?"

 Yukina looked at her friend with concern, "Anja are you ok?"

 "I. . . I. . . I. . ."

 "I'll go get Kurama." She ran out into the hall and in seconds her brother was
by her side.

 Anja burst into tears, "Oh God!"

 "Shhh, shhh, it's ok."

 "No it isn't ok! I'm not even really a grown up yet! I still live at home! I haven't even graduated from college! I'm just twenty years old!"

 "Anja, hush. I'll help you, we'll all help you."

 "It won't even have a Da."

 "Da?"

 "Tousan, Father, whatever you call him this child won't have one!"

 "We'll all be it's father then, we'll take care of it like it was our own. . . unless
you want an abortion."

 "Are you out of your mind fox!?!" She looked shocked, "I am not a murderer
This is a piece of Kuronue!" She stopped and thought about it, "A little piece of my
Kuro." Her voice was almost awed.

 Kurama smiled.

 "But I'm no mother either." She groaned, "Even when my kaasan was alive I
told her she would have to help me because I was scared to death of actually raising
kids. What if I mess up and they end up in trouble or what if I don't teach them
enough or show them enough. My kaasan was always showing me things, taking me
places, what if I don't do enough of that? Shuu-chan I'm scared. I am so scared!"

 "Shh." He smiled, "Shh, whatever comes we'll all be here for you. And as for
experiences, what other child will grow up with a fire youkai and Youko for an
uncle eh? We will all help you show him everything there is to see."

 "Him?" Anja asked, "What if it's a girl?"

 "It's a boy." He grinned, "It's Kuronue's. He always wanted a son."

 Her smile faltered.

 "Ah, Anja I'm sorry."

 "N. . . no it's ok."

 "How long have you been getting sick in the mornings like that?"

 "This is the first time."

 "And you didn't say anything to me before I left for class?!"

 "I thought I had some Makai flu or something like that."

 "Believe me you would have known if you had one of the Makai's flu's." He
assured her. "Come on now. I have a plant to help morning sickness and you'll be
able to go to school fine. The right clothes and no one will even know."

 "We have to tell kaasan and tousan." Anja went pale, "I don't know Shori's
husband very well, will he kick me out K'rama? I don't have anywhere else to go."

 "If he tries I'll go with you. We can get an apartment."

 "Oh that'll start people talking." Anja said dryly.

 "Then you can go live in the dorms." He tried to be optimistic. "Come on.
Tousan is home now. We can tell them together."

 Anja nodded and walked down to where her adoptive parents sat at the
dinning room table. "Ah. . . kaasan?"

 "Anja! You're up! You shouldn't be out of bed!"

 "Yukina just left kaasan."

 "And?"

 "It isn't the flu." Anja looked at her feet.

 "Hai?"

 "I. . . I am pregnant with Kuronue's child."

 Mr. Hatanaka burst from his chair, "What did you say."

 "I'm pregnant!" She cried and buried her face in Kurama's chest.

 "Who's? Yours Shuuichi?!"

 "Tousan! Of course not!" Kurama looked insulted.

 Shori took her husband's arm, "The father was killed last weekend."

 A tear escaped Anja's eye.

 A knock on the door stopped any comment. Shori went to get it. "Hai?" She
asked the braided boy.

 "Ohayo, I am a friend of Anja's and I. . ." Duo looked inside and saw Anja
hugging Kurama and her father frowning furiously, "Anja?!" Forgetting what little
manners he had, Duo barged past Shori and asked in English, "Anja?! Anja are you
hurt what happened?!"

 She answered in Japanese, "Not hurt." She sighed, "I. . . I'm pregnant."

 That stopped the pilot short, "It isn't Wufei's is it?"

 Anja looked comical at that, "No!"

 ‘Kuronue's' Kurama mouthed over her head and Duo's eyes got wide. "But
he. . . Oh shite!"

 "Language!" Shori scolded.

 Kurama nodded and Duo looked trapped, "I. . . I'll go get. . . who can I get?"

 "There isn't anyone." Anja sniffed getting her tears under control. "Just me."

 "Wufei!" Duo smiled.

 "NO!"

 They all looked at Anja strangely for her outburst and she blushed, "I don't
want him to think he has an obligation to stay behind when you guys leave." She
sighed, "It isn't his."

 "Well what'll you do?"

 "The Tantai will help her raise it." Kurama told him.

 "But Shura, Shura's alive!"

 Anja's eyes clouded and Duo almost jumped back from that glare, "Not to me
he isn't."

 Shori was startled by the venom with which Anja spoke those words.

 The American girl sighed and hung her head, "I'm going back to bed." She
said softly.

 Duo looked after her in concern then turned to Kurama, "We have to tell
Wufei, he was going ballistic today when Anja didn't show at classes, he thought up
a thousand worst case scenarios on what could have happened."

 "Why didn't he come?"

 "He has one more class." Duo snickered. "Told him not to enroll in so
many but he wanted to take every class Anja was in."

 "Then he'll be here soon."

 "Hai, and he'll know the minute he sees her, so she has to tell him or he'll
think she doesn't care enough to want him to be a part of this."

 Kurama almost groaned out loud. "I'll go tell her."

 Shori starred at the American boy who stood now alone before them.

 "Oh, I'm Duo Maxwell, ok . . . um. . . bye." He grinned and ran out with a
wave.

 Shori look in askance at her husband who just shrugged, "Americans."
 
 

 Wufei almost ran into Duo on his way to Anja's. The American looked
flustered, "What's wrong with you?" The Chinese boy asked, "Is Anja ok?"

 Duo nodded awkwardly, "Um yeah."

 "Well?"

 "Ihavetogo, bye." Duo gibbered and ran.

 Wufei tried to process this and just gave up.

      When he knocked on the front door a man answered looking very angry,
"Who're you?"

 "I'm a friend of Anja's."

 "Wufei." Shori nodded to the boy, "Anja is upstairs."

 "Have I met you?" He asked, sure that he hadn't.

 "No but Anja's told me a lot about you."

 He nodded and started up the steps.

 "Wufei?"

 "Hai?"

 "Be gentle with her ok, she's had a rough day?"

 He looked worried but said, "Hai," moving up the stairs to Anja's attic room
even faster.

 She was standing by the window, hugging herself as the breeze blew the hair
away from her face. He crept up behind her and put his arms around her arms and
rested his head on her shoulder. "Anja?"

 "Hm?" She asked softly

 Gods he loved her voice! "Are you ok?"

  She shook her head and took a shuddering breath, "No, I'm pregnant."

 Wufei stiffened, his arms tightened around her, "It's Kuronue's child, isn't
it." He guessed from the pain in her voice.

 "Hai." She let her head fall back to be cradled on his shoulder. "It's an odd
situation. I'm scared to death of being a mother to this child, but also, I'm relieved
to have a part of him with me."

 "I will be here." He promised.

 "For how long?" She whispered, "How long until they find a way to send you
back?"

 "I won't go back." He said.

 "I don't want you to be stuck here because of me." She insisted, "You deserve
to go back and feel the freedom you fought so long for."

 "I'm feeling it now." He whispered.

 She smiled and let the subject drop. They would cross the bridge when it
came time. Until then she was happy just to feel him near her. "Wu Fei?"

 "Aa?"

 "Will you teach the baby your fighting style?" She asked, "I want him to
know everything."

 Wufei laughed and nodded, "Hai. Our little dragon." He smiled kissing her.

 "Hm, and we can name him Kuronue." She smiled. "His middle name will be Marron."

 "Hai." Wufei ran a hand over her abdomen, "Kuronue is a fine name for a
child to have." He searched her eyes, "But who is Marron?"

 "Long story." [1]

 "Ahem." Someone said from the doorway.

 Anja and Wufei turned to see Kurama, Yuusuke, and Kuwabara standing in
the doorway, Quatre and Trowa behind them. "Nani?" The two of them asked.

 "Are you two ok up here?"

 "Hai."

 "Shori didn't want us to leave you alone." Yuusuke teased.

 Anja laughed and Wufei growled.

 "So what are you going to do?" Kuwabara asked.

 "I'm going to name him Kuronue."

 Yuusuke rolled his eyes, "You mean he didn't ask you yet?"

 "No." Anja smiled, "ask me what?"

 "If you want to come to the movies with us."

 "What are we seeing?"

 "Um. . ." Kuwabara looked a little unsure, "Die Hard IV?"

 "Cool Yeah! A Bruce Willis I haven't seen!" Anja cheered.

 The guys looked relieved, "We thought you'd drag us to a chick flick."

 "You know I don't do that." She frowned.

 "Yeah but pregnant girls are supposed to act all sappy." Yuusuke reasoned.

 "Me? Sappy? Maybe later, right now lets go! Is Hiei coming?"

 "Yes."

 "Good! I haven't told him yet. Let me tell him, I wanna see if I can make him
fall out of one of his trees." She grinned.
 
 

 Shori watched Anja leave with her friends then turned to her husband, "I
don't think we need to be too hasty." She said, "We can let things go their course
and. . ."

 "Shuuichi is coming back from his campus for break soon and I don't want
him around any of this."

 "This what?"

 "This immorality!"

 "Immorality?" Shori looked upset, "She fell in love, the father died, she has to raise the baby alone."

 "What about that Wu kid?"

 "She needs someone now. She's a grown woman."

 "Exactly! She's a grown woman. She shouldn't be here anymore. It was
supposed to be for only a year then it was just until she got into the right college,
now what, until the baby is old enough?! I want her out!"

 "Isn't that a little cruel?"

 "I won't put up with her anymore. She isn't my child."

 "Neither is my Shuu-chan." Shori said softly, "But you keep him."

 "That is family, this is charity!"

 Anja gasped from where she stood in the doorway and her eyes moist with
unshed tears, "I. . . I forgot my bag." She said softly and picked it up from near the
door. "If you didn't want me Tousan, all you had to do was tell me."

 "Anja, please. . ." Shori pleaded.

 She smiled falsely, "It's ok Kaasan." Her hand brushed away a tear, "I can
live with Genkai, or Mukuro will always take me. I have some money. I'll be fine"

 "She's a child." Shori begged one more time.

 "Not anymore."

 Anja looked at the man who was throwing her and her unborn child onto
the streets and glared, "You don't treat her well enough." She said motioning to
Shori. "She is the best thing you have in your life don't wait until you lose her to
realize that."

 "Are you telling me what to do?"

 "Yes."

 He picked her up and literally threw her out of the house. She landed hard
on her rear with a sharp yelp."

 Kurama and their group came running back, "Anja? What's going on?!"

 Shori stepped outside and looked down at the girl she had called daughter for
three years. "If you come back here tonight, I will give you your things."

 "Her things?. . . He didn't!"

 She nodded sadly and turned away.

 "He's kicking her out?" Yuusuke asked.

 Wufei knelt beside Anja and took her into his arms. Then he looked at the
man who had done this. "You have no honor."

 "I'm not the one who knocked up a little girl." He said coolly. "And I'm not
sleeping with a woman who is with child without marriage."

 "Kisama." Wufei spat, "We all loved Kuronue."

 "If she gets an abortion then we'll talk."

 Anja was on her feet in an instant, her fist colliding with the man's gut, "I am
not killing Kuro's baby!"

 Hatanaka drew back his hand and slapped her, hard enough to send her
stumbling back into Wufei's arms. "Never come back to this house." He said coldly.

 She looked at him with burning eyes.

 When the door shut they all turned to her, Wufei gently caressed her hurt
cheek, the bruise was already showing.

 "What, you all look like you've never seen a homeless orphan before."

 Kurama cursed, "I'll go get your stuff." He offered and left.

 Anja stood, partly in shock, partly running over her options. "I need a place
to live." She said softly.

 "You can stay with us." Kuwabara offered.

 "Hai, my home is always open." Yuusuke nodded.

 "Hai, I know,  but I can't do that to you, Keiko and Yukina need time with you guys and I don't want to impose on that." She shook her head, "I'll get an apartment."

 "With what money?" Quatre fussed.

 "Kuronue used to go steal things from the Makai and trade them for gold to
use here, Why can't I? I have those gems I took off of the bandits, and I'm at least as
good a thief as Hiei."

 "You're pregnant!"

 "Not enough for it to count now." She dug into her bag and pulled out a little
leather pouch of the jewels she had obtained. "This will be enough to at least get an
apartment and whatever else I need." She said thoughtfully, "There are a hundred
jewelers in Tokyo at least."

 Kurama came out then with her guitar and two duffles. All of Anja's
possessions in one, her clothes in the other. Then he went back in for Canon and his little castle. She strapped the bags onto Firestarter and mounted the bike. "I can't fit the castle on, can you bring it when I find a place?"

 "Where are you going?" Kurama asked.

 "Out." Anja sped off leaving her brother to question the others.

 "She's going to do what!!!!?" He screamed, "ANJA! ANJA GET BACK
HERE!"
