Tesshu opened his mouth to say something but Djinn shook his head. "Useless, that would be. Be, you should let her."

There was another cry... but this time, it was Chyenne. "Riki! What are you doing in here?!" She was staring in anger at the angel, her green eyes as hard as agates. Her hands were not clean, to say it safely, and she was standing by Dark. Dark, to say the very least, did not look well at all. Her face was pasty white, and her eyes were closed tightly. From those shut eyelids flowed tears that had been squeezed out. She gasped when she heard her husband's name, but the gasp quickly turned to cry of agony.

Riki didn't say a word, his eyes ignored the red curly locked dryad and he sped to her Dark's bedside, taking her hand in his. His heart beat wildly, not since his youth had it done this. He tried hard to hide his feelings, but seeing her in pain with nothing he could do tore him down. His white wings dropped slightly, darkening in color and a single tear shed, quickly absorbed by the mask. As much as he wanted to he didn;t leave, he locked eyes with his wife, his once grey eyes shone a deep blue. "It'll be ok...I'm here now..." He spoke softly as he grasped her hands with both of his.

Milly clutched Naburine tightly as another scream was heard.
"WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG!?" Thistle screamed in frustration, fear, and anger. She went to the bottom of the stairs and looked up. "CHYENNE WILL YOU TELL HER TO HURRY UP? I WANNA SEE MY GRANDCHILDREN!"

Chyenne ignored the intrusion once Dark cried again, and she turned to the business at hand. The child was born with difficulty. Dark had never been in so much pain before, and it was almost too much for the elf. But, a healthy little boy came into the world with a healthy cry. But Dark was not finished. "Chyenne... help... Riki...." Dark, with proptings from Chyenne, gave birth to a healthy girl. She had two beautiful children.

Riki froze in amazement, staring at the two children...his children. His gaze went from them to Dark, he stroked her face softly anf refused to let her hand go. He glanced at the door, making sure it was shut and threw his mask down, kissing his wifes hand and forehead. "It's ok...you did it...I'm proud of you..." He said softly. His gaze slowly made its way to Chyenne again, his eyes telling her not to speak a word of what she'd just seen.

(( DANGIT!! Thistle always misses it!...She will see it someday I swear! ))
Thistle started to scream in excitement. "They're here! The babies are here!"
"How do you know?" Butterball asked in wonderment then he paused. "BabIES?"
"I'm special...and I have this link with Dark she told me, perhaps unconciously, that there were two! Come on I wanna see what they are hurry hurry I wanna see I wanna see!!" She ran over to Annie and sat onher foot. "Take me up woman!"
Milly gave a little gurgle of laughter at the pixie's excitement and hugged Naburine tight. She then wriggled out of the female ninja's arms and made her way over to Tesshu and hugged him around the knees. "Up uncle Tesy?" she asked looking up at him with a bright smile.

Tesshu smiled and hoisted her up onto his broad sholders and headed up the stairs. "Actually...how do we know it's ok to go in yet?"

Chyenne looked at Rikimaru with wide eyes, but she nodded in understanding. She would not tell. She took up the little ones in blankets and wrapped them up. They were good-natured and stopped crying. It was not until she set them down that she got a good look at them. The girl had her father's almost-white silver hair, yet she had her mother's very fair skin. The little boy was exactly the opposite. He had Dark's black hair. Of course, she was not able to tell whether it was wavy or not now, but it was identical to his mother's locks. His skin was the darker shade of tan that his father's was. They both had amazingly dark eyes, but that was expected in this world. They would lighten later. The boy rolled over slightly and Chyenne noticed with a bit of alarm that there was something on his tiny back. She got closer and noticed with a smile that they were tiny wings. So, they had inherited wings... and pointed ears. The dryad turned to smile openly at the ninja. "Congratulations, Riki. You have mutant children." She then turned to look at her friend. The elve's eyes were closed, and her face was pale. Chyenne walked to the bed and touched the new mother's hand. It was cold. "Dark?" There was no answer. Chyenne began to panic. "Dark? Wake up!" No answer.

Thistle's eyes widened in shock and slight pain. "Annie...Annie I think somethings wrong. ANNIE GO UPSTAIRS I CANT FEEL DARK! ANNIE HURRY!!!" After That the pixie shrieked for Dark in a paniced voice and then she just passed out.

Annie's eyes widen and she picks up the pixie. She then tears up the stairs.
Chyenne heard commotion outside and ran to the door to lock it. Nobody would come in to see this... not until Dark was better... and she simply HAD to get better...!

Riki's eyes grew wide. "NO! I REFUSE!" He shouted. Riki's blue eyes turned back to their grey shade, his wings not dimmed, but seemingly made of pure light as he clasped his hands around her face, cupping her face with his fingers. Tesshu started in but turned back around, setting Milly down then stepping in.
"Riki...o God...I'm sorry..." He stammered in shock.
"Don't be..it's not happening...she's fine..she has to be..." The revealed ninja choked the words out.
"Riki..." Tesshu said softly.
"She's NOT DEAD!" HE shouted back, sending his brother realing in surprise. "I won't let it...I...I...I'm giving it up..."
"Riki...you can't. You won't be able to help them..." Teshu said, trying to speak logically to his brother.
Rikimaru kicked his chair out from under him in Tesshu's direction. "I dare you to try to stop me. By the gods I dare you." His eyes peircing clean through his brother. The younger angel froze under the gaze and Riki turned back to his wife, his gaze softening immediately. He lightly placed a hand on her forehead and took a deep breath, reciting a prayer and whispering a goodbye. A golden glow englufed Riki and Dark, eminating from his wings. A spirit seemed to fl from Riki's chest, hovering above the two.
"This is a choice of the heart...you cannot break this bond of the immortal...come hell and armageddon you will be forever connected to her pain, her innermost turmoil, her very heart's suffering...all will be shared unto you...Speak wise your choice Seraph." The spirit's voice seemed to eminate from everywhere.
"I accept!" He cried out mentally.
"Very well. May the heavens strengthen your soul."
The spirit spoke a final time and in a bright light seemed to tear in two. A severed section plunging into Dark's chest and the other into Riki's sending him to the floor. With a gasp of pain he opened his eyes, grasping for his mask and a sense of direction.
"Riki..." Tesshu said as he tried to steady his brother.
"She...she needs to see them.." He said in a very faint voice.
"Who? The spirits?"
"The children..." Riki whispered and collapsed onto the floor, unconcious again.
Tesshu glanced from his brother slumping to Dark. He could only pray his brother's attempt wasn't in vain.

Thistle had woken up and broke free of Annie's grip and ran over to Riki's leg. With swift and practiced clambers she pulled herself up Riki's legs and scrambled over his back and onto Dark's stomach. She slipped and tumbled her way to her best friends face and then collapsed into another sobbing heap on her shoulder.
