Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal:- Astral is what?

Chapter 4

"I have just one question Astral."

"Which is?" Astral wondered.

"How is the pregnancy going to proceed?" Yuma asked.

Astral pulled away from Yuma's embrace and sat cross-legged in front of Yuma. "What do you want to know?"

"First: when is the child going to be born?" Yuma asked.

"I don't know." Astral simply answered.

"What do you mean 'you don't know'! Didn't your memory show you that? What if the child is going to be born any second?" Yuma panicked.

Astral remained calm in midst of Yuma's outburst. "No Yuma, I meant I don't know because the child should be here right now." Astral simply explained.

Yuma sweat dropped. "Oh? Really."

Astral nodded. "You see, in my world children should be born in just a couple days. The progress goes very fast with us."

Yuma showed he understood what Astral meant. "But I guess because the child is half-human the time for the child to be born would take longer. How long did it take for you to be born?" Astral asked.

"9 months. I was born in 9 months." Yuma answered

"Oh my, that's a long period. Why does it take so long?" Astral said amazed.

"It takes time for the baby to grow. It's a slow progress." Yuma explained.

"I see. so maybe the child will be born in 9 months or earlier." Astral said.

"So how are we going to know when the child is coming?" Yuma asked.

"That's very easy. My body will tell me when it happens." When he say Yuma's confused face he decided to continue. He pointed at one of his gems. "The memory showed me that these gems are more than pleasure to me. They will shine bright when the child is ready to be born."

Yuma was relieved as fascinated by the explanation of Astral. "When your gems start to shine, what happens next?"

"The child will start to absorb a huge amount of energy from me." Yuma gasped out of fear. "Don't worry Yuma. Nobody has ever died during the birth. I will be very weak but I will be fine." Astral assured him by squeezing Yuma's hand.

"But why does the child absorb your energy?" Yuma asked.

"The energy the child absorbs helps it to transform into it's true appearance." Astral said.

"Transform into it's true appearance? What do you mean by that? Doesn't the child get born when it's fully grown?" Yuma asked, who was totally lost.

"The child will be fully grown when it is born." Astral answered.

"But how is that possible. From what I understand of your explanation is that the child will take it's true appearance at the moment it is born." Yuma said.

Now it was Astral's time to look confused. "When did you transform into your true appearance?" Astral asked.

"Astral, we humans don't transform. We grow." Yuma answered.

"Okay then. But where do you grow? I have seen the body structure of the female. How can a full grown baby fit inside a human female?" Astral asked.

Yuma groaned, rubbing his eyes. How is he going to explain it without confusing Astral even more? Then he had a great idea come to his mind. If he couldn't explain it to Astral he just had to show it.

"Astral transport us back into my room." Yuma said.

"Why?" Astral wondered. Did he say something wrong?
