"It is you! Kikasa look it's Gackt-san!" Sakito poked Kikasa in the arm. A smirk slightly spreading on his lips.
"Ow.. " Kikasa rubbed the sore spot, and looked next to Sakito. "Ah, Yes! It is Gackt-san, it's our lucky day Saki-chan."
"Why yes it is. We are big fans of yours" Sakito tired to hold his laughter back. "Have you heard any of our music Gackt-san?"
"....you're music?" Gackt's only words.
"....Uh.. yeah! Of course, how silly of us to think that you would know our band. I am the vocalist Sakito, and this is Kikasa, bassist and we are both of Due'Le Quartz."
"....Due'Le Quartz....Oh, yes. The band that has Miyabi in it. Kirito has posters of him all over his room, used to be covered with Kaoru." Gackt closed his eyes when he said Kaoru. Wonder if Miyabi is a freak like him....
"Yes. Miyabi is our guitarist." Sakito side glanced at Kikasa. "Well, here's or floor."
"That was a short ride. Well, I'm glad we met you Gackt-san." Kikasa made his way to the front of the elevator.
"It was such a pleasure meeting you!" Sakito started to bow, trying to keep his snickering to himself. Kikasa took this as the sign, and started to push all the buttons on the elevator, knowing that Gackt would be distracted by Sakito's 'kiss ass' tactics. When all the buttons where pushed, Kikasa started to bow, signaling Sakito that the deed was done and it was time to get out of there. They backed out together all the while still bowing.
The elevator dinged, the doors closed, and Kikasa and Sakito burst out laughing.
*~*~*~*~*~
Kaoru finally made it to the bed, with a record time of 5 min and 29 seconds.
While Shinya and Totchi helped Kaoru rearrange himself in the hospital bed. Kyo wandered outside the room, in search of a balcony...anyplace that would let him smoke.
Die, in the meantime, took the chair that Kyo had been sitting on and moved it to the foot of Kaoru's bed. Dead center, perfect TV viewing position! Making himself comfortable (his body at an angle, with one leg slung over a chair arm), he started flipping through the channels.
"Shinya, ask Kaoru if they get HBO here." Die asked over his shoulder, while never taking his eyes off of the screen.
"I'm not asking him that Die. Plus, how would he know....he's been half crazed with drugs since he's been in here."
"IIIIiiii...Know what channel HBO is on!" Kaoru suddenly burst out.
"Shhh...Kaoru, remember little voices." Totchi began talking in a motherly voice.
"....i knoooow what channel hbo is on die-kun...." Kaoru said in a hushed voice as he pushed away the covers, and crawled to the end of his bed.
"Kaoru, stop that! Get back into bed!"
"Shinya don't talk to him like he was a kid..."
"You're talking to him like that Toshiya"
"So..that's different...."
"How so?"
"Would you guys stop arguing, we're trying to watch Arthur" Die finally turned around to talk to Toshiya and Shinya.
"Arthur?" They both asked
"Yeah.....Kaoru picked it out."
"Kaoru...oh yeah.. Get back into bed!" Shinya commanded.
"Mou.. Shinya-kun..I don't wanna." Kaoru pouted
"Get in bed now Koaru...or...or.." Shinya was searching for something to threaten him with.
"or you don't get the present we bought you!" Toshiya finished.
"Present?!" Kaoru turned away from the TV, eyes wide with excitement.
"Yes, ...yes that's right a present, and you wont get it unless you get into bed!" With that Kaoru hurriedly crawled back under the covers.
"What kind of present Shinya-kun?"
"Now, now Kaoru you'll find out soon enough."
"But I wanna know now!"
"If you don't get some sleep now, you wont get anything!" With that Kaoru quickly plopped his head down, and was fast asleep once again.
"That was weird..." Shinya sighed
"You guys should have let him watch Arthur, it was a good episode." Die said, once again taken up with finding HBO.
"Is that how you're gonna be Die! You're gonna let Kaoru's kid do whatever she wants, and we're going to be the mean uncles who make her go to bed!" Totchi had his arms crossed and was glaring at the back of Die's head. Die could feel the evil glare, and slowly turned around.
"I wouldn't be talking if I were you. You were the ones that just bribed Kaoru. Poor thing is going to be disappointed when he wakes up and there is no present."
"He's drugged, he wont remember a thing..."
"What if he does?"
"Fine, we'll get him something from the gift shop!" Totchi nodded
"...great parenting skills" Totchi ignored Die's statement, and went back to fussing over Kaoru. Once again, Die kept his attention on the flickering channels. "hey this looks promising" Die turned up the volume.
...Yes for one night only, we are proud to present not one! but all three movies in this action packed series. Sit back...relax..and enjoy tonight's feature presentation of: Die Hard!
Die smirked and looked down at his 'lower region'. "Nope, not yet!"
Totchi and Shinya stopped suddenly.
"Why did I have to be listening....why...why did I have to hear that!" Shinya whimpered.
"What? It's the truth, you wanna see for yourself?" Die's smirk widened.
"No! no...I believe you"
"....I think we're gonna have to keep the baby away from Die. Wouldn't want her to grow up to be a hentai like him"
"Hey! I was just stating the obvious...no need to take away my band member right to see the kid!"
"Stop being a hentai then!"
"I'm just being myself Toshiya. It's like telling yourself not to be slutty" Die turned back around, to stare at the opening scene of the movie.
Toshiya glared at the back of Die's head once again.
*SLAM*
Kyo pressed his body against the now closed door. His chest heaved, as he sucked in air, trying to catch his breath.
"Ya guys gatta hide me!"
"KYO! What happened to you?" Shinya's eyes went wide, as he spotted what Kyo was wearing. Wrapped all around his head and arms were gauze.
"Nothing! I just found some gauze laying around doing nothing. SooOo I did the natural thing and put it on! ....well these two hairy guys came around the corner, shouting and junk! Yelling at everyone to try and catch me, that I was an escaped patient for brain surgery!!"
Pounding feet and shouting voices could be heard along the corridor "He ran into that room! QUICK!!!"
"CRAP!" Kyo ran to the nearest thing that would hide him....Die. Okie, the chair Die was sitting in, the side not facing the door to be precise. Squishing himself smaller, so no one could see him from the door. Kyo closed his eyes awaiting the sound of a door being swung open. Die, on the other hand, who wasn't paying attention when Kyo ran, in stared down at the top of Kyo's head.
"Ano.....Kyo?"
"Shhhh!!!" Kyo kept his eyes closed...waiting...
And then it happened! The door swung open, two orderlies dressed in scrubs came rushing in. Shinya held his breath and Totchi winced, trying to hold back a scream.
"Anyone seen a person with bandages all over his head??" One of the orderlies boomed, without an apology for the intrusion. Shinya stood up straight, eyes focused on the two men.
"No, we haven't seen anyone." He said calmly "...and even if we had, it gives you no right to come barging into our room like that. This man just came out of surgery! It's very lucky that you didn't wake him!" The two burly men seemed to back away, but didn't deter them from their mission.
"Listen Miss, but we have an escaped patient and we saw him run into this room. Now, if you would let us do our job the we can get out of your pretty hair.." One of the orderlies spat out with a glint in his eyes.
"Excuse me.. " Die got up from his chair. "We didn't see anyone come into this room. You were mistaken." The men glared at him "..Now, I don't appreciate you guys charging into our room and being rude to my friends." Die started to crack his knuckles.
"Hey, I'm sorry!" One of the orderlies backed off. "I didn't mean to cause trouble, just trying to find a patient. Sorry if I offended anyone, and I'm sorry if I came off rude to your Girlfriend." Shinya's eyes grew wide at that statement. The orderly grabbed the arm of the other, and led him out of the room. "Maybe he went into the room next door." The door slammed behind them.
Die silently walked back to his chair, and sat back comfortably to watch his movie. Slowly from behind the armrest, blonde hairs began to show. Then suddenly Kyo bounced up from the side of the chair, right into Die's lap!
"DIE! You saved me!!!" Die squirmed a bit under Kyo's sudden weight.
"..and you want to show me your gratitude?"
"....What?" Dies eyes lowered down to his lap, and back up to Kyo. He did this several times, until Kyo caught on.
".................."
Die smirked.
"Baka!" and then... *smack*
"Itai! I was just kidding Kyo! No need to get violent." Die rubbed the sore spot on his head where Kyo had hit. Kyo was immediately on the other side of the room, trying to ignore Die by playing with the gauze.
*~*~*~meanwhile*~*~*~*
"If you're gonna wear a skirt, you have to come to accept those things." Totchi reasoned.
"But why Die's girlfriend? I could've easily been Kaoru's faithful girlfriend, tending to his bedside."
"....is there something you're trying to tell us Shinya?"
"...What? ...." Shinya looked into Totchi's eyes. "...oh......NO! I didn't mean it that way. I was just saying."
"......right."
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Damn that Due'le Quartz! See if they're ever invited to eat my world famous curry!" Gackt glared at the doors, as if Sakito and Kikasa were on the other side. The elevator made it's slow ascend, stopping at each floor.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"I told you Kirito, I'm busy..."
"You don't even have time to just write down your phone number?" Kirito pouted.
Miyabi looked at the cute little pout, and felt a pang of guilt for not being nice.
"Okay, fine I'll give you my number" Kirito's pout turned into a smirk as Miyabi took the offered pen and paper. Quickly he jotted down the numbers and handed them back. "Now, I really have to go."
"Okay, Thanks! I'll call you, maybe we can get a bite to eat or something." Kirito started to walk backwards down the hallway.
"Umm yeah. Sure, call anytime!" Miyabi hurriedly turned around. I'm sure Sakito would love to hear from you.....heh serves him right for leaving me in the elevator.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Are we all awake now?" The nurse popped her head into the door.
"Yes, but in a very grumpy mood" Totchi nodded.
"Yeah, I miss Kiddy Kaoru, he was fun" Die said, while still watching intensely at the TV screen.
"I'd like to see you guys be cheerful. Damn, my head hurts...my stomach feels like I had my guts ripped out of me..and I've had to pee for the last 20 minutes, and NO I'm not going in a bed pan!" Kaoru crossed his arms.
"Hey Die, give him the pitcher. That seemed to work for him before."
"...I'm not listening to you anymore Toshiya...."
"Pitcher? What the hell are you guys talking about?!" Poor Kaoru had no clue about the argument over the true nature of the apple juice.
"Well, yes... I have something here that might brighten everyone's mood." The nurse then opened the door wider, and pulled in a hospitalized bassinet. All eyes followed the bassinet as the nurse pushed it to the side of Kaoru's bed. Toshiya's eyes widened and sparkled as the baby was gently lifted from the blanket cocoon to the scared arms of Kaoru.
As soon as the baby was safely in his arms, and with some adjustments from the nurse the rest of the group all crowded around.
"Awwww, she's so kawaii..."
"...hai.." Kaoru was speechless.
"A mutant lobster would've been cool, but this is better." Kyo lightly touched the baby's hair.
"Kaoru, what are you going to name her?" Shinya asked.
Kaoru stared at his baby. Her eyes were closed, and her mouth was slowly opening and closing, as if trying to talk.
"....I....I don't know. I never thought about it."
"Never? I think that would be the second thing I do. The first would be buying baby clothes, but that's me." Totchi nodded.
"Name it _____ " Kyo suggested while still lightly touching the baby's hair.
"Ewww. No... no. ..don't even dare think about it Kaoru!"
"How about naming her after her father?" Die suggested.
"NO" Kaoru's first rejection.
"Yeah Die that would be confusing."
"Okay then, name it after the other Father..."
"Kirito? Hmm, doesn't fit her. Wait! Isn't that a nickname?"
"OOoh yeah. Isn't his real name Shinya!?"
"NO" This time it was Shinya that rejected a name.
"Fine, then how about Jessica? Kaoru always seemed to like that name."
"Die's right, it should be Jessica! What do you think Kaoru?"
"Huh?" Kaoru hadn't paid attention to most of the conversation. His attention was focused on the life that he helped create.
"Die suggested the name Jessica. It's perfect dontcha think?"
"Oh, yeah. Thanks Die, that'll be her name."
"Ah! Kawaii! Well, guys, here she is; introducing Niikura Jessica!" Totchi beamed.
"Such a lovely name" The nurse started. "I'll bring the birth certificate in to make it official. But, first It's time for li'll Jessica's first feeding."
"What?" That brought Kaoru out of his baby's trance.
"Yes, well we did notice that you did develop mammary glands, and are producing milk, and it's always best for the baby to have the mothe...er....parent's milk."
".......no"
"Kaoru!" Totchi resisted the urge to smack Kaoru's arm. "How can you say that? ...if it's better for her, you have to"
"....no....."
"Ah, come on Kaoru. It's perfectly natural thing. Plus, I read somewhere that breast feeding is the time that a parent bonds with the child." Die nodded.
"You read that?" Shinya sounded skeptical.
"Yes"
"Where?"
"Parenting...."
"Why were you reading Parenting?"
".....it had the word Breast in big bold red letters, it was like calling to me! Turned out to be an article on breast feeding...."
"typical.."
"I don't care what some article says, I'm not doing it!"
"Niikura-san, if you don't then we're gonna have to use the pump..."
"....the pump?"
"Yes, either way we're gonna get that milk out of you."
"Ewww..that sounds gross" Totchi closed his eyes.
"Dude Karou choose the pump! ...that sounds cool. Shinya do you have a video camera?" Kyo's eyes lit up.
"Do you Shinya? ... Could be good for the..uhh.. uhh...." Die was caught up in the excitement that he forgot what he was trying to make up.
"Fanclub only DVD?"
"Oh yeah.. that!"
"....right. Sorry to disappoint you guys, but I don't have a camera."
"......damn....."Both Kyo and Die said in unison.
"Fine, I'll.....I'll......breast feed her, and NO you can't watch Die. In fact I want everyone out, but the nurse!"
Die pouted.
"Kaoru, we're gonna see it sooner or later...."
"OUT!"
"Especially since the recommended period of breast feeding is up to two years."
"OUT!!"
"Is that true Die?"
"That's what the magazine said..."
"OUT!!!"
"Come on guys.. " Shinya pushed them out the door.
*~*~*~*~*~
"Kaoru's being selfish..." Die pouted as he leaned against a wall.
"Why is that?" Shinya asked
"He's not letting us share in something that all of us should experience....watching!"
"Breast feeding?"
"....yes."
"All you want to see is Kao..." Shinya's train of thought was cut off by the sound of fangirlish voices. Everyone froze...
"I can't believe we just saw Gackt! Here of all places!!" One girl said.
"He seemed kinda weird ya know. What was he saying? ...something about Kirito's baby. How he's claiming what is his? That sounds very strange." The second girl sounded weary.
"Well, it is Gackt...."
"True" And the girls went on their way, unaware that they had just passed the members of Dir en grey.
"Did you guys hear that?" Shinya asked
"It can't be true..." Totchi hugged himself.
"It's Gackt, the same Gackt who has a jrocker under slavery! The same jrocker who just had a baby with Kaoru..." Kyo spelled it out.
"He's claiming what's his.." Die repeated the girl's comment "..NO! He's not taking Jessica!"
"We have to do something! We can't let Gackt do this to Kaoru, he's been through too much already." Shinya stared off in the direction of the elevators. "He's going to get here soon..."
"We could hide her, pretend that she hasn't been born yet."
"Die, he's just going to stick around. Plus I heard he has these strange powers, I think one of them is mind reading."
"Those are just rummers Kyo. If he could really do that, then he could have stopped Kirito from being with Kaoru." Shinya reasoned
"Yeah...well...well....What are you staring at Toshiya?!" Kyo's train of thought was distracted by Toshiya who was staring at him, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
He just kept staring. Kyo started to feel self continuos, as Totchi's eyes bore into him.
"....Quit it Toshiya....." Nothing "......I said stop it!" Still nothing ".........."
"Would you quit thinking about molesting Kyo for one second Toshiya! This isn't the time!" This brought Toshiya out of his gaze.
"Baka!" He punched Die hard, on the arm.
"Itai!"
"Serves you right, hentai! I was forming a great plan! We can hide Jessica, and still give Gackt what he wants."
"How are we gonna do that?"
"I'm glad you asked Kyo......" And once again that look entered Totchi's gaze.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay, you can come in now." The nurse had opened the door and was holding it open for the guys to enter.
"KAORU!!" ....Die stopped, as he watched Kaoru pulling up his hospital gown. "...damn missed it"
"...like you will ever see it..."
"One can always wish. Anyway, Kaoru! GACKTISCOMINGHERETOGETJESSICACAUSEHESAIDTHATWHATEVERWASKIRITOSWASREALLYHIS" Die spat out.
".......what?" Kaoru looked confused.
"Jessica! He's coming to get Jessica!!!"
"Who is?"
"Gackt! ...but don't worry we have a plan." Die nodded
"We?"
"Hai. Totchi came up with it."
"...and where is Toshiya?"
...and just on time...
"NO!! Dammit stop it Toshiya!!!" Kyo screamed out, as Totchi was dragging him into the room.
"Come on Kyo.... " Totchi pulled "..you have to do it!!"
Kaoru stared at the site.
"Die, why is Totchi forcing Kyo in here? ..and where is Shinya?"
"It's all part of the plan!"
"What plan?"
"The plan to save Jessica from Gackt's evil clutches....duh!"
"....what?"
"I told you Kaoru. Gackt is coming, he says that Jessica is his, since Kirito is his slave. He's going to take her!"
"Dammit Kyo!" Totchi let go of the struggling vocalist. "You didn't have to break my nail!"
"Yes, I did! ..and you guys are not making me do this."
"Guys, I have the stuff. Did you make Kyo agree yet?" Shinya ran in, holding several bags in his hands.
"NO!!" Kyo shouted.
"I guess not..."
"What do you have in those bags?" Poor Kaoru was so confused.
"It's part of the plan. ...You guys did tell him about the plan?" Shinya asked.
"We were just getting to that Shinya!" Die sighed "Ya see Kaoru, Gackt is here for the baby. Well, he doesn't know what the baby looks like..."
"So we're gonna dress Kyo up like a baby, and give him to Gackt!" Totchi finished.
"NO YOU'RE NOT!! I'm NOT dressing like a baby..and I'm NOT going to be given to Gackt!! ...no way.. nuh huh." Kyo crossed his arms, a slight pout forming.
"I have the stuff in the bag for Kyo. Diaper, pacifier, baby clothes, all the essentials for a newborn." Shinya added, ignoring Kyo.
"I'M NOT WEARING A DAMN DIAPER!!"
"You're just going to give Kyo to Gackt?" By this point, Kaoru was holding Jessica close.
"I told you guys, I'm not going with Gackt!"
"Well, we hand him over and some time after that, Kyo will escape." Toshiya explained.
"Kyo is staying right here." No one was paying attention.
"Wouldn't Gackt notice that the baby is missing and come back for her?"
"By then we'll have you guys hiding somewhere in this hospital. Gackt won't be able to find her, and Jessica will be safe."
"Yes, all nice and safe thanks to her caring Uncles!" Die smiled.
"HELLO! I said I'm not doing it!!"
"Awww, don't you want to save Jessica?" Die's smiled turned into a playful frown.
"Yes, but I'm not putting on a diaper and getting near Gackt!"
"But Kyo, there is no other way." Totchi reasoned.
"Yes there is! You guys just haven't thought hard enough!"
"Die..hey, Die what're....hey be careful!" Die was carefully lifting Jessica out of Kaoru's protective hold. Die, slowly walked Jessica over to Kyo "...Die, watch how you hold her! ...the Nurse said to support her head..DIE.." Kaoru was becoming the over-protective mother....eh, father.
"Don't worry Kaoru, I've got her. Isn't that right Jessica." Die talked in an almost sing-song voice. "Jessica is just gonna take a short visit to her Uncle Kyo."
"What?" Kyo glared.
"Yes, Jessica wanted to visit her Uncle Kyo." Die was now standing in front of Kyo. "What is that Jessica? You want Uncle Kyo to hold you. Okay, if you say so." Die started to place Jessica in Kyo's folded arms.
"DIE!!!" Both Kyo and Kaoru shouted.
"Just relax Kyo, Jessica just wants her favorite Uncle to hold her." Kyo loosened his arms a bit, but still secure enough to support Jessica. " Seeing as how you don't want to dress like a baby, this will prolly be the last time she sees you. Yeah, once Gackt comes and takes her away, she'll be raised to be the female version of himself. Sure she'll have Kirito, he is her father after all, but I'm sure Gackt will suck out anything that Kirito teaches her. She'll be a sell out, of course. ...but I'm sure you have your reasons for not wanting to help her."
Kyo had been looking down at Jessica, who had fallen asleep in Kyo's cradling arms. A pang of guilt hit him hard, making him almost sick to his stomach. Quickly Kyo looked away from Jessica's angelic face, and suddenly regretted it. Totchi stood not to far away from Die, eyes brimming with tears. Shinya who was standing by the door, was chewing on his bottom lip keeping his eyes to the floor. Die stood there, emotionless, which made Kyo feel worse. He couldn't bring himself to look at Kaoru.
".......fine, but no one is gonna diaper me."
"YATTA!" Totchi hopped up and down, grabbing Die from behind to give him a hug. Die smiled and laughed while trying to keep balance. Shinya had a small smile plastered on his face, and Kaoru. Kaoru was glaring.
"Give me my baby."
"Ano..Kaoru, I said I would do it." Kyo inched his way closer to Kaoru, not really wanting to give up Jessica so quickly.
"Great! ....now give me my baby." Kaoru was pissed, and a pissed Kaoru was something Kyo did not want to mess with. He quickly gave Jessica back, and was instantly back to the same spot he was when Totchi dragged him into the room. Totchi let go of Die, instantly when he heard Kaoru's tone of voice."Shinya! ...come one lets go see if Gackt is near. Maybe we can stall him." Totchi practically ran out the door.
"Uhh okay." Shinya handed the bag of baby stuff to Kyo. "You sure you don't want anyone to help you?" Kyo looked back to Die, who was back in his chair staring at his movie.
"...yes. "
"Okay then, good luck." Shinya left without waiting for a reply.
Kyo stood there a bit, staring down at the bag full of baby things.
"Ya need some help there Kyo?" Die winked.
"HELL NO!" Kyo glared at Die's almost lecherous glare.
"Kyo, you better hurry. Gackt is going to get here pretty soon!" Toshiya stuck his head through the door way while glancing at his watch.
With one final glare directed at Die, Kyo turned and stomped his way into the bathroom slamming the door behind him.
"WAAaAAAaaa" Startled by the slamming door Jessica cried out.
"Dammit! Guys, she was almost asleep!" Kaoru instinctively rubbed her back.
Shinya walked in, apprehension on his face.
"Kaoru, we heard some commotion coming from around the corner, I'm pretty sure its Gackt. We need to take Jessica now."
Kaoru looked at his baby, who had calmed down and was falling asleep in her daddy's arms. His heart ached for having to give her up so soon, but she needed to be protected. "Okay, be careful with her Shinya." He gave a weak smile, and he placed Jessica down into the hospital bassinet. Without saying a word the nurse wheeled the baby out of the room, with Shinya right behind.
Kyo stuck his head out the door.
"SHINYA! The damn diaper is too big!"
"I'm sorry Kyo! ...next time I'll make sure he buys you the smaller size."
Kyo glared at Die's sarcasm. Die chose to ignore said glare.
"Don't worry! ...I have duct tape!" Die suddenly had a role of duct tape in his hands, that nobody saw where it came from.
"NO...you of all people, are not getting near me, especially if a diaper is involved!"
"Awww c'mon Kyo. I'm not going to do anything when Jessica's life is at stake." Kyo stared at Die for a bit, not so sure he should trust Die. "......fine, get in here before I change my mind."
"Don't mind if I do...."
*smack*
"Dammit Kyo, no need to get violent!" With that Kyo slammed the door shut, trapping himself in the bathroom alone with Die.
Shinya and Toshiya ran in.
"I think he'll be here any minute. ... where's Die?"
"In the bathroom with Kyo." Kaoru answered, surprisingly calm.
"Is that safe. .. ?"
"Die watch where you stick that thing! .....Itai!!!! Dammit Die!"
Totchi looked over at Shinya, a questioning look in his eyes.
"Kyo, it's not gonna work unless you kneel!"
Totchi and Shinya looked over to Kaoru.
"Owww..watch your teeth!"
"Well, stop putting it near my mouth!"
"It's a good thing Jessica isn't here, or I would kill those two." Kaoru shook his head.
"What am I supposed to do with that thing!?"
"Stick it in your mouth and suck."
"I changed my mind, I'm gonna kill them." All three turned their heads to the bathroom door, as they heard it open.
"Okay, Kyo is done!" Die smiled as he walked in, but his smile faded as he saw the two shocked faces of Shinya and Totchi..and the majorly pissed face of Kaoru. "...what?"
"What where you two doing in there?" Kaoru asked, with a surprising calm voice.
"I was just helping Kyo get dressed. What did you think we were doing?"
Kaoru just kept glaring.
"You don't think?" Die looked to Totchi and Shinya. "You do! And you guys call me a hentai! Tsk, Tsk"
"Tsk, Tsk what?" Kyo asked as he entered, a pacifier covered in tsuba hung around his neck. The diaper was covered, with pink footsie pajamas. Over his shoulder he had slung a soft pink blanket.
"Listen to this Kyo, they thought that we were having fun in the bathroom!"
"Fun?"
"Ya know. .. " Die quirked his eyebrows... "A little *winkwink* *nudgenudge*"
"......wink. . . HELL NO! How can you guys think that I would be doing that...in the bathroom. .. .when Jessica is in danger. .. . .with DIE"
"What? Kyo, that hurts...ya know there are fans..."
"Yeah so why don't you go hit on them instead of me!"
"Or me. .. " Shinya added
"Yeah, why are you keeping it in the band... like bandcest or something. "
"Gods Kyo you make it sound so sick. .. . "
*~*~*~*~*~*
"IIiiIIIi got his number!" Kirito sang to himself. His right hand held tightly to the number. He stood in an elevator waiting anxiously for the door to close. Once the door closed, he knew he had to face his new future, but at least he would be going into it with Miyabi's phone number. Finally with this thought the door slowly slid closed.
"Hey, wait! Hold the door!" Two stomping feet could be heard running down the hall. Kirito hit the 'open door' button. With that, two bodies rushed their way in. One leaned against one of the elevator walls, while the other pushed to 'close door' button repeatedly.
"Thanks for waiting for us..." The leaning figure said smiling.
"Hai, thanks" The other joined in after the doors were safely closed.
"No prob.. .. .. hey wait, aren't you guys in Due le Quartz?"
"Why yes, and you are Kirito-san from Pierrot?"
"It is Saki-chan, it is our lucky day!" Kikasa answered before Kirito could. His eyes as well as Sakito's got wide with another opportunity to have more elevator fun.
"Wow, so why are you guys in the hospital...is it Kazuke? I mean you guys seem okay, and so did Miyabi"
"Miyabi?"
"Yeah, I ran into him in the lobby....heh got his number."
"His number...really? Last time someone asked for his number, which was just earlier today, he gave him mine." Kikasa almost started to fume.
Kirito looked at the number in his hand.
"Is it 555-3940?" Kirito hoped that he didn't get the brush off.
"No" Kirito sighed with relief. "That's MY number" Sakito answered. Kirito pouted once again, this was not his day.
"Don't worry Miyabi is always like that, not just to you. See that's why we're having a little fun with him, you see he is the reason why we were running to catch this elevator. We've been hiding from since we've been here.. we almost got caught just now, but thanks to you we live for another round!"
Kirito just continued to pout.
"Perk up, hey here's his real number I insist you call him...he can be a nice guy when he wants to be." The elevator dinged open. "This is our floor, good luck." Sakito bounded out. Kikasa stood back.
"You really should call, he just gives out fake number because he thinks that people are just after him for his looks." He stepped out, but looked back at Kirito.
"That's okay, I was just trying have one last try at a life, until I had to face my new responsibility...I haven't seen her yet, but I think I love her."
"Her?....wait.. so it was just rumors...you're not gay?" The elevator dinged, and the door slowly closed once again.
"... yeah well...I have a child now, and I have to face Kaoru."
"...Kaoru?........Dir en grey?"
"Yeah, . .. he gave birth to my child... "
".. .........what?" The door closed. Kikasa stared blankly at the doors. *Bang* "Kirito-san!!!!" He quickly hit the elevator buttons "Kirito-san!!!! How is that possible???" It was too late.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*knock*
The arguing continued. He didn't know why he was standing outside the door and knocking. Why should he have to wait for them to answer the door? What he wanted, well not really, but it was his and he was going to take it.
*knock**knock*
Rustling could be hear on the other side of the door. Gackt put his ear up to the door, trying to hear if anything suspicious was going on.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"SHhHHhhhh! Come on Kyo get in the bassinet." Toshiya pushed him near the clear bed.
"Dammit Toshiya, stop pushing...I'm going..I'm going. ." Kyo climbed up into the bassinet, which surprisingly was just his size.
"He needs this, and make sure to cover him with the blanket!" Shinya tossed a beanie to Toshiya while heading to the door.
Toshiya pulled on the pink beanie, making sure to tuck all the blonde hair underneath. "Remember Kyo, you don't talk, EVER."
"Come one Toshiya, I know what to do..."
"Good, now just pretend to sleep, and no matter what you do don't fall asleep for real!"
"Toshiya...."
"Guy's I'm opening the door." Shiny interrupted.
"Sleep!" Toshiya pushed Kyo down into the bassinet, and hoped on the bed with Kaoru.
Without another word Shinya carefully opened the door. There stood Gackt, who just seconds before stopped his eves dropping, and was now standing with his hands in his pockets, and a leg slightly bent. That pose always seemed to flatter him the most, or at least that's what millions of adoring fans have said.
"Gackuto-san, what a pleasure. What brings you here?" Shinya tried to sound pleasant, but the gross, arrogant, and cocky vibe that radiated from Gackt was too hard to ignore.
"Well, I just happened to be in the neighborhood, and I heard that your dear Kaoru-san was in the hospital. I thought that I would stop by, see how he was doing." Gackt smirked.
"How kind of you..." Kaoru sneered as he felt his hands curl up into balls.
"Ah Kaoru-san." Gackt pushed past Shinya, and made his way to the bed. "I do hope you are feeling okay, and might I add you look as radiant as you do in all of your magazine layouts." Whether this was an insult or a complement, no one knew but Kaoru was in no mood for anything that Gackt had to say.
"Now listen here As...."
"Heh Kaoru-kun, wasn't nice of Gackt to come all the way here?" Toshiya stopped Kaoru before he blew the whole plan.
"Toshiya-san, hmmm I always wondered why my Kirito went after your Leader-san, when there was someone as enchanting as you in the band. Now, if he had your posters up all over his room I wouldn't have minded so much, but alas it was not to be."
"....and how is Kirito doing?" Toshiya asked before Kaoru could speak.
"He is serving me, therefore his life is just one happy dream."
"I see..." Toshiya was getting tired of this.
"Yes, well anyhow...So tell me Kaoru-san, why are you in the hospital?"
"He's sick." Die answered.
"Sick? Oh my, from what?"
"Uhh we don't know yet, the doctors are running tests."
"That's funny I would think they would know."
"What makes you say that?"
"Well, they placed him in the maternity ward."
"Uhh. .. . "
"Cut the crap Kaoru-san, I know why you're here and I came for my kid."
"Your kid!?" Kaoru was about to launch himself at Gackt, but Toshiya threw himself across Kaoru's body, and Die rushed up to help restrain him. Of course, this left the bassinet unguarded, and this caught Gackt's attention.
"Ah, there...." He strained a bit to see the color of the blankets "...she is now." He walked his way up to bassinet, once there he looked down into the pink bundle. ."She is kind of big for a newborn. I guess that is to be expected with two fathers, so much testosterone."
"Gack...." Die quickly covered Kaoru's mouth.
Gackt pushed some blankets aside, to get a better look at the baby's face. . .. and then quickly took his hand away.
"One would expect that with the fathers being Kirito and Kaoru-san, that the offspring would at least inherit some of their good looks. I guess genetics can be so crewel, but it's nothing that a few plastic surgeons couldn't fix!"
"Ow.. Kaoru!" Kaoru bit Die's hand in an attempt to speak his mind.
"I don't care that Kirito is your slave, you can't have Jessica. Kirito's only contributed one thing, and he left. I carried her for nine months, I went through labor, I had a C-Section, she is mine and you are not taking her from me!"
"Kaoru, please calm down. He isn't serious, he's not going to take Jessica." Toshiya reasoned.
"Jessica? ....cute. I might consider keeping that name. Now I'm sorry to say Toshiya that I came for her, and I'm leaving with her. Like Kaoru-san said, Kirito contributed one thing and it is that contribution that created your little Jessica. Kirito is my slave and therefore Jessica is mine as well."
"How in the hell do you get away with having a slave?"
"That is an interesting question Toshiya, but I'm afraid I can't answer that. Now if you excuse me, I need to get going." He started to detach the bassinet from its base.
"The hell you will!" Kaoru along with Die and Toshiya were about to stop Gackt when...
"Hey... . . Gackuto-sama!" Kirito froze in the door way.
"Ma cherie. You're just in time, you can help me take your daughter back home with us."
"... . . I'm still on concert time." Kirito was still in shock, seeing Gackt in Kaoru's room.
"Ah yes, just remember to get home on time. Now, like I said before, I need to get going." Gackt lifted the bassinet, almost grunting with the unexpected weight. He slowly made his way to the door.
"Gackt!" Kaoru yelled out and attempted to get out of the bed.
A click echoed through out the room. All eyes landed on Gackt, and saw that while one hand held the bassinet, the other was tucked inside his leather jacket, and something was pointed at them.
"I have my hand on the trigger."
"You can't be serious... ?"
"That's right Toshiya, I have my magnum in my pocket. Don't make me use it."
It was then that Kirito decided to take his first look at his baby, his and Kaoru's baby. . .. and she strangely looked like Kyo.
"Kirito, you still have concert time..use it wisely. I'll see you at the house. As for the rest of you, get some rest, it looks like you all need it." He turned towards the door.
"Ah, Gackto-sama..that isn't..." Kirito started.
"Isn't the right way to hold the bassinet, you could drop her." Die finished.
Gackt glanced at Die.
"But Kyo is..."
"Kyo is not here, he went to go smoke. Prolly wont be back for another hour."
From Die, Gackt turned to Kirito.
"You should go Gackt, before security comes." Toshiya added.
With that Gackt left. Kirito turned to the remaining members of Dir en grey.
"I really hope that was a gun, and not...ya know... his 'magnum'" Die observed.
"One can only hope..."
"Who cares about the gun? How can you let him leave like that?"
"Don't worry Kirito." Shinya said while close the door. "Jessica is back in the nursery. Gackt took Kyo."
". .. won't he notice that Kyo is not a baby?"
"Yeah, well by then we'll have Jessica and Kaoru hidden..all safe like." Toshiya smiled, as he fixed his hair, which had gotten tousled during the confrontation.
"Jessica?"
"Your daughter is named Jessica. I named her, seeing as I'm the one who's life is forever changed. ... "
"Look, I'm sorry Kaoru. I didn't know that this was going to happen."
"Yeah, but it did."
"Sorry..."
"You made me into a freak!"
"I..."
"Do me a favor and don't talk to me..."
"Guys, settle down. Now we gatta get Kaoru out of here and into a new room."
*~*~*~*~*
The air was cold, and the tiny blanket wasn't doing its job.
"Damn them..." Kyo curled into a tighter ball, while he felt the car turn right. "He could have at least put the top up! What is he thinking? . .. Its so damn cold. .. Think warm thoughts...think warm thoughts...think... I gatta pee. . .. crap. .. I gatta peeEEEe. .. pEEEe..peepeeeee. .. I'm wearing a diaper. .. pee is warm. . .. . " Kyo smirked. .. and let all his inhibitions go.
*~*~*~*~*
"See Kaoru that elevator trip wasn't so bad." Shinya tried to remain positive as the group walked down the halls of the 19th floor.
"It would have been better if we left him on the 5th floor." Kaoru pouted.
"Kaoru, try to be nice to Kirito, it wasn't all his fault that this happened."
"Don't get on my bad side Shinya..." Shinya shut his mouth, just as he was going to say something.
"This is his good side?" Toshiya whispered to Die.
"Has to be, he hasn't killed anyone yet."
"I heard that!" Kaoru raised his voice.
"Sorry leader-sama."
"Here we are Kaoru!" Shinya once again tried to be optimistic while wheeling Kaoru into his new room.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Gackt continued his drive down busy Tokyo streets. He replayed the previous events in his mind, and recalling just how damn good looking he was during the whole thing. Then.. .he smelled it.
". .... you didn't?" He stared back at the baby, who was all curled up in the back seat.
"..... . how can it smell that bad? ... you were just born!!" . *sniff* . . "What did Kaoru eat??!!?" With a final sniff, Gackt swerved off the road.
*~*~*~*~
"Are you nice and comfortable now?" Shinya asked while fluffing one of Kaoru's pillows.
"I would be more comfortable if he wasn't in here."
"Be nice Kaoru, he want's to see Jessica and he has a right to do so."
"Toshiya and Die better get back soon from the nursery. The sooner they get here, the sooner he leaves."
"Kaoru!"
"It's okay Shinya. It's the hormones talking, I know he doesn't mean it."
"Hormones?! I'll show you what hormones can do!" Kaoru pulled himself up and attempted to jump out of the bed, when a small knock on the door stopped him. He snapped his head to the door, almost ready to take out his aggression for Kirito out on the innocent soul who happened to pick this unfortunate moment to knock on the door.
"And how is my patient doing?" A small person pushed his way through the doors, not noticing that he hadn't been invited in.
"....who are you?" Kaoru asked, while he sat back down on his bed.
"Me? You....you don't remember me....?" Tears began to form in the stranger's eyes. "Oh, wait that's right you were drugged up! Silly me, thinking that you would forget the person who sewed you up!"
"You sewed me up?"
"Yup!" Kaoru looked over the person, who was now standing by the bed looking at the IV bags. This person wore the usual blue hospital uniform, but just a couple of sizes too big. Over the baggy uniform, he wore the standard white lab coat. And for some reason he wore the latex gloves that were used for operations. Those too seemed to be a bit too big for him, as the latex fingers hung loosely from his hands.
"I think I'm gonna puke.."... Kaoru curled up into a fetal position, wincing as he felt the stitches.
"Hmm, could be the side effects from the drugs they gave you." Daisuke took out a pen and wrote on his clipboard. "Now, do you have any other pains?" While waiting for an answer, Daisuke riffled through his lab coat pocket. "Any discomfort at all?" Kaoru just stared.
"A quiet one, aren't we?" Daisuke continued to riffle, eyes concentrated on the contents in the pocket. Kaoru growled.
"You're not feeling good are you Kaoru-san?"
"..........."
"What you need is something to calm your nerves. You're lucky, I happen to have two!" From his pocket, Daisuke whipped out a long green stalk and stuffed it in Kaoru's mouth. Kaoru's eyes went wide in shock. "A nice celery to munch on!" He then took out another stalk, and placed it between his painted lips. A strange calmness seemed to take over, as Daisuke's eye lids lowered, and a look of euphoria seemed to drape over him.
Kaoru quickly spat out the celery stalk, and tried his best to make the most scary "leader-san is pissed so you better get the hell out of the room" face. This had no effect on Daisuke. Well, relatively no effect. The celery stalk hit the ground, breaking the calmed silence. Daisuke's eyes grew as he saw the celery bounce once, and then twice before it fell on its side.
"Kaoru-san, really! I know you've been through a lot and are on some heavy medication, but that is NO WAY to treat an innocent stalk of celery." Daisuke rushed to the vegetable's side, gently picking it up. "Its okay, really. Did he hurt you? I know, I know he is terrible. Don't worry I've got you know." With that he carefully lifted the green stalk, and gently placed it back into his left coat pocket. He patted the pocket once, before turning to Kaoru once more.
"Why are you glaring at me like that?" Kaoru asked taken aback, never really receiving a glare like that from anyone else but Kyo.
"Sir, I would advise you to never. .. EVER... do that to a celery stalk again!" Daisuke seemed to grow more than his 5'3" frame. Kaoru shrank, bringing the sheets up to his chin. "Now, lets take a lookie at your sutures, okay?" What was once a towering mass was once again the energetic, tiny, and the only word that Kaoru could think to describe him; werido.
Fearing that Daisuke would turn evil again, Kaoru slowly pulled down the sheets.
"That's it, it'll only take a second." Once the sheets were pulled away from Kaoru, and the hospital's dressing gown was pulled up the room got a peek at Kaoru's stomach that had stayed hidden for nine months.
"Anou, Kaoru it's really big..." Toshiya stared "Itai!!" He rubbed his side, where Shinya had punched.
"It's really not that big Kaoru, as soon as it heals you'll be as good as new."
"I don't know Shinya it's awfully big."
"Shut up Die!"
"He is right Shinya-kun, scars this big will fade, however will remain for the rest of his life." Daisuke looked sincere, and for once looked like a medical professional.
"Kaoru, poor Kaoru you'll never be able to bare your stomach to the delight of fangirls everywhere." Toshiya sighed.
"Since when did he ever do that?" Die asked
"Don't worry about anything Toshiya." Kaoru sounded calm, as he pulled down the gown. "I just have to wear less revealing or carefully placed outfits, and Die is right, I never wore revealing outfits like you or taken my shirt off on stage like Kyo or Die. No one will notice a change."
There was a silence as everyone took in this bit on non-realization.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"At least they had some diapers stashed away in this thing." Gackt had pulled over, and was now attempting to change his first diaper. He had 'Jessica' laid out in the back seat, and now a little apprehensive about actually doing it. "I should just go home, and wait till Kirito gets home. This is his little mistake, he can take care of it. Shit, no I don't want to be smelling this all that time."
With a deep breath of fresh air, he went in, and started to take of the lower part of the baby's pajamas. The little snaps came apart easily, and he was able to move the legs out carefully.
". .. . Do I feel? No, it can't be. Stubble? Testosterone overload, it has to be." Gackt was right, a few days without the upkeep, Kyo's legs had begun to grow some stubble. "Gods here comes the evilness." He peeled off the strap on one side, and with a groan peeled off the other. With a slight hesitation he pulled back the top part of the diaper.
"OH MY FREAK'N GOOOOOOOD!!!!!" Gackt stumbled back. "Boooy... you're a boy. .. they said you were a girl, you WERE A GIRL!!!"
Kyo laid there, exposed. He wasn't sure what to do, his mind was telling him to cover up and get the hell out of there. Something else was saying that the plan could still work, as long as he kept acting like a baby, so he just laid there.
Gackt slowly approached, almost too freaked out to take another look.
"Wait, you have. No, that's impossible....unless. . Unless. . . Kaoru, I'll give you credit on this one, but you missed one thing." Kyo looked up at Gackt. He knew, Gackt actually figured it out. "You forgot that babies don't have pubi. .. ."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"...hair."
"No Toshiya." Kaoru buried his head under his pillows.
"Come one Kaoru it'll make you feel better. A new hair style always does that to me."
"Okay, so when you give birth I'll no what to do."
"Come on Kaoru."
"Hey, Toshiya lets go see if there are any new baby's at the maternity window." Shinya stood up from his seat, trying to give Kaoru a little rest.
"Okay, but when I get back you will be getting a new hair style Kaoru."
"Whatever." Kaoru sat back up.
"Hey guys, wait up I want get something from the cafeteria." Die followed Shinya and Toshiya as they left.
Kaoru laid his head down, actually hoping that Daisuke would show up again and sedate him. That was the only way he was going to get any rest. Still, with the silence his eyes began to slowly close.
"Anou, Kaoru I want to be in her life."
That voice.
With his eyes finally closed, Kaoru decided not to open them, he decided that Kirito wasn't worth opening his eyes.
"Why is that?"
"Why? Because I'm her father. I know it's going to be weird, especially with the whole slave thing and. . "
"And what? You're talking to me about weird, Kirito? Listen, you have already caused too much trouble in my life. You got me pregnant, which is something that I will never get over, and you put my daughter's life in danger because of that slave thing. I want you to stay the hell away from me and Jessica."
"I love her Kaoru, and she's mine too." Kirito pleaded.
" Love her? You haven't even seen her."
"That doesn't make a difference. I can feel it, and it's hurting so much right now that I haven't been able to see her."
"That isn't my problem, it was the nurses decision not to release her to Toshiya and Die."
"It goes deeper than that. It hurts because of situation that I'm in, it has put her in danger. I don't ever want her to have to live with what I do. I'm not saying that I want her to live with me, if that was so then I would have left with Gackt. I know what living with him is like, and I don't want her around that. She has to live with you. All I'm asking is that I get time to spend with her."
"So I get all the responsibility, and you get to come over and play, great deal that is."
"I can take some responsibility I can pay chi.."
"Listen Kirito, I don't need financial help. Plus, what makes you think that Gackt will ever stop trying to take Jessica from me?"
"I... . I don't know."
