Kurama's Keeper

86: I Wouldn't Miss Her Birth For The World

" Called me ? Shuichi-san. "

Kurama : I have a favour to ask you. Benson-kun. I'll even pay you.

Benson : then it's not a favour. It's a job.

Benson looked down " want me to dispose the guy ? I didn't take you for that kind. Guess you can't judge someone even though they healed you. "

Kurama: no. I want you to send him back to where he came from.

Benson scratches his head " ah... That would be a little difficult. How about this? I just drop him somewhere anonymously where someone would find him. And he would be safe. "

Kurama: I guess that's fine too.

Benson : ok. Remember to pay up ! I'll text you my bank account. Oh, and just in case you weren't aware, here's a free tip. Whoever you're protecting, you either abandon her or brace for the storm.

Kurama ; this guy, that troublesome?

Benson ; hai. Well then, bye bye.

Hina: hello kazoku .

Kazoku: hina-san. Mama is asleep. You came at the wrong time.

Hina places a bag on the table " rabbit fruits~~ " kazoku grabs the bag " mine ! Mine ! " Hina strokes her hair " came to visit you. This is just for our kazoku. "

Hina: alright. Do you have some water I can drink? I'm really thirsty. Go call your Papa for me as well.

Kazoku: hai.

Kurama: how's she ?

Hina : hibernation mode. Eat and sleep. This baby, must be one strong and energetic one. Taking so much energy from her.

Kurama : I was a little worried about her being this unusual. She wasn't like that when she was having kazoku. She went around still healing patient's as if like she didn't have one.

Hina: she's fine. Don't worry. Though... This one will definitely come earlier than the time kazoku did.

Kurama : I see.

Hina : don't worry. Even if it's just giving birth, that crazy girl can do it herself.

Kurama: please don't say that. I want someone to help her.

Hina: worried husband. Sighs. When will I ever get someone like that for me ? Ok! I'm leaving.

Kurama: Arina. Eat slower.

Arina was gorging herself with the food " hungry !!! I'm always so hungry when I wake up!! Hungry !! "

Kurama giggled " Arina. I need you to return to the demon realm for a while. Stay at your little cottage. "

Arina : you aren't coming ?

Kurama: no. Kelly is the reason I need you to go back. They'll come looking for her and I don't want those people harming you. You should , bring kazoku as well

Arina : this Kelly so important? Can't you just drop her off to someone else ?

Kurama: will you drop a patient you know how to heal to the hospital ?

Arina: mmm... I got it.

Kurama: don't worry. Kazoku is a big girl now. She can cook for you and her.

Arina : but the demon realm is dangerous. If I'm asleep all the time, who's gonna protect kazoku ? I'm losing energy all the time, I can't even maintain a proper barrier.

Kurama : kazoku is a big girl. She'll be fine. She'll protect you, she said she'll do a good job.

Arina : oh, now the mama has a babysitter who's the daughter?

Kurama: I knew you would react like that. So I called yukina and told her. She said she'll join you until the baby is born.

Arina : hmph. That's better. So you'll come and find me after you're done ?

Kurama: of course. It's my baby daughter too.

Arina: name.

Kurama: oh... that... I just thought I would be there when she's born. Then we could name her. I missed kazoku's birth the last time.

Arina : that's important to Kurama? I didn't know.

He strokes her cheek with his palm gingerly as he looked into her eyes " it is. Her first cry as she leaves your protected womb... " He rests his hand into her belly " the first thing she sees as she comes into this world ... Us. Her parents... As I held her in my arms, I can tell her, it's ok. You'll be our little princess. You're part of us now, a family. "

Arina : gomen... Then ... This time make sure you come ok ?

Kurama ; um. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
