15. Life Goes On

Kyrie watched intently, Kage by her side, as they watched the twins spar. Kyrie's mind was all over, but she tried her hardest to focus on the combat class as they trained.

The week had flown by, a lot had happened in such a short amount of time. Kyrie lost her virginity, she broke a contract, overriding it with another, she still wanted to talk to Kage about the extra aura she felt coming from him since Sunday. He didn't want to hear any of it, also making it obvious that he didn't want her to say anything to Alexander.

~~/(^-^)\~~

Kyrie sighed, putting a few things down in her notebook.

Kage glanced over at her notes, then looked back to the class ahead of him. Given that he's in the Akuma Clan as a journalist, he wasn't expected to participate in any of the classes. He's originally from the Oku No Clan, not having any specified background that his adoptive parents could tell him. He, too, wrote a few things down in his journal. "What's on your mind now?" He didn't take his eyes off of his writing.

She glanced at him. "A few things to be honest."

He set his pen down, directing his eyes back towards the class. "Go ahead and talk, I'm listening."

She laughed, setting her pen down as well. "I'm still processing this past weekend's events. That and the fact that I haven't been home since what KR did, I've talked to Rose once, but I refuse to talk to KR. I don't even know if Vallen truly left or not." She took a few more notes down before continuing. "It's sad that I have to keep sending you and Alex to my house to get my clothes and supplies."

Kage turned towards her this time. "I don't mind doing it, you're pretty much family to us, we don't mind doing this for you." He patted her back. "You've done a lot for us, it's the least we can do during a time of struggle."

She met his eyes with hers, smiling. "Thanks Kage." Her smile disappeared quickly, her eyes glancing at his stomach, then back to her notes. "I know you're getting sick of me saying this, but I really need you to listen to me Kage."
He sighed. "The orb, right?"

She nodded. "Yeah, have you looked into it at all?"

He looked back towards the class. "I did some research, but I still don't want to believe what you've said." He held his hand to his stomach. "I get that it's possible for men to technically get pregnant, but there's no way that I did from one time with Alex."

She laughed. "That's the thing Kage, that one time was more then enough for an orb to trigger. Just like an accidental pregnancy could happen for a girl, it can happen for a guy."

He leaned back, rubbing his temples. "Kyrie, I doubt I'm pregnant."

Kyrie sighed. "Something I learned when studying the formation of orbs, especially between same sex couples, is that the highest probability of conceiving happens when you're both at a calm state mentally and when you have a strong bond with the other involved." She paused for a second, recalling what she knew. "The connection you originally had to Anthony would have been considered improper, you're chance of conceiving an orb was literally 0 percent. However," She wrote a few things down. "Your bond with Alex is a different story."

Kage looked back to her, wishing she'd just stop, but also slightly interested in her knowledge on orbs.

"The fact that you guys had sex feeling how you do about one another would have been enough to increase an orbs chance by around 50 percent. Just that jump pretty much almost guaranteed that you'd conceive."
