Once they'd gotten Kaito to settle down, Saguru had called Akako, requesting her to come over as soon as possible. This was their first viable egg to actually have a chance at hatching, they didn't want to make any mistakes. So now the red witch was currently in their living, eyeing the egg curiously.

"It's healthy" Akako confirmed, she could sense the life growing beneath the egg's pretty shell. She'd refrained from touching the actual egg, instead levitating it for a better examination.

Kaito perked up, exuding hopeful energy "So it'll hatch so long as it doesn't break?" He leaned into Saguru when he felt the blond's hand clasp his shoulder. He really really didn't want to mess this up, this was the farthest they'd ever gotten.

Akako nodded, a fond smile tugging at her lips "So long as you protect and give it lots of love, then yes" She affirmed "Positive energy will be vital, but I doubt you'll develop any ill will towards it" The very thought was ludicrous.

Saguru's shoulders sagged with relief "Love won't be any problem" Just Kaito himself would probably be enough, so with the three of them, it looked good. He eyed the floating egg, noting that the witch hadn't touched it "Do you know why it reacted when I touched it?" It couldn't be nothing, otherwise Akako would be holding it instead of floating it.

Red eyes gleamed "It's a way for it to develop bonds with family, obviously Kaito is exempt because it came from inside him. The child will view them as family until something happens to break their trust in someone they're bonded to" She shrugged "It's kind of like how birds imprint on the first thing they see"

"So babysitting will be easier?" Yozora asked, remembering how some infants didn't like being held by others.

"Probably" Akako agreed, floating the egg back to Kaito.

The magician cradled the egg, indigos soft before looking at both Akako and Yozora "Both of you two need to hold the egg" He held the egg out, sharing a look with Saguru "Yozora is obviously family, but you've become kinda like family too Akako" While rough around the edges, Kaito did trust Akako.

Yozora's eyes lit up as she eagerly held the egg. It began to glow a soft white, visibly growing a bit"It's warmer than I was expecting" It was almost as warm as fluffy, but hard and smooth instead of furry.

Akako shook her head "My magic might taint it's magic, white magic is rare and can be easily influenced into a more common type at such a young stage"

Kaito just offered a smile "That's even better, white magic is rare right? The fewer of us there are, the less likely we are to attract attention" Akako had given him a ward to disguise his magical signature, but having too many wards didn't sound like a good idea.

The witch blinked, then just smirked "I guess I'm just more used to people valuing magic over protection" Old magical families were less kind and more ruthless towards their descendants. Akako reached over and patted the egg, making it glow once again.

Yozora frowned "Maybe that's why there's so few magic users left" Not caring for their young, how could they expect bloodlines to flourish?

"Probably" Akako agreed, looking away "From what I know, most witches don't really like their parents" More often than not, the young witch took out their parents in retaliation.

Not liking the dark direction the conversation was heading, Kaito decided to change the topic "So Aoko will be coming over later today?" Aoko was currently at work.

"Yes, I left a message before leaving the house" Akako agreed.

"Can Shinichi come too?" Yozora asked "He needs to touch the egg too"

"I'll invite him over" Saguru agreed "He might not be able to make it on such a short notice though" Detective work could be unpredictable, especially if you were Shinichi.

"Ah" Kaito grimaced "Ai-chan might invite herself over to check on my vitals"

Yozora blinked, she hadn't met this Ai-chan yet "Is she bad?"

Kaito quickly shook his head "No, she's good, she can just be mean"

"She doesn't put up with Kaito's jokes" Saguru quickly added "She threatens him a lot, but she'd never really harm him"

Indigos narrowed "She uses unreasonably large needles on me!"

"And you usually deserve it" Saguru smiled.

"I will keep my distance from her..." Yozora stated. It didn't seem like that person would be a danger to her, but she didn't want to risk it. She didn't like needles, at all.

Saguru sighed "Haibara-san won't do anything to you, she only really picks on Kaito and Shinichi, and that's usually when they neglect their health" Gold softened "It's how she shows that she cares"

"Okay" That sounded a little better?

"Oh that reminds me" Akako eyed Kaito "You don't need to cut holes in your shirts anymore, obstructing your back won't stress your wings anymore. They'll now phase through anything unless you want them to come out" Before the glamour created illusions to make it seem like Kaito had no wings.

"Is that why there's been a lack of pressure on my back?" Kaito inquired, he'd grown used to having a pressure on his back whenever he was in a position where his wings would be in the way. He'd grown so used to it that he'd stopped registering the pressure's existence.

"Yes, with your DNA change, your wings are more suited for this world" Akako added "You can pop them out, and have only certain people be able to see them"

"Will the baby be like that?" Yozora inquired, turning her gaze towards the egg.

Akako hummed in thought "Most likely yes, their species' abilities aren't tied to what kind of magic they have. It's simply like how fish breathe underwater, they're born that way"

Kaito grimaced at the wording "Can we give my 'species' a name since we don't know the original name?"

Saguru chuckled "Let's name it as Winged then, it's simple enough" The magician pouted but nodded in agreement.

"I'll have to edit my texts..." Akako mused. She'd been documenting the information she'd been getting from Kaito for future references.

Me: So some more info on how Kaito's biology has become more stable... A name for his species, and some bonding by holding an egg

Comment? ^-^

>~< Last night was the first snow of the year for my city, I love wintery weather.

Sadly I doubt it'll still be there by dinner time •~• it seems to be just a bit of snow, which is fine since a lot of places in my province have been hit hard or will be hit hard, I think. If the weather app is to believed •3•

This year I've got socks that go a bit past my ankles °^° I won't get blisters from my winter boots! Hopefully... Or if I do, my slightly taller socks are black, thus would hide the blood.

Gah, pulling off a sock after its stuck to a blister, not fun.
