This is going to be a combination post for Yuri and Megumi~
Megumi is an adorable little girl. She does try her best to help everyone out despite her being so young and small. Well, that doesn't matter too much. The thought of helping is what does. Yuri chuckled, walking along with Azumi. "She is adorable. I still can't shake the feeling like I've seen her around before.It's strange. Ever had that feeling before?" When Azumi had agreed to teach her how to sew, she smiled. To be honest, she was wary of Azumi when they first met, but now, she seems like a decent person. Hopefully they'll continue to bond and become close friends. "Thank you for the willingness to show me. It's the least I can do. Maybe I can help you out whenever you need it. I'm sure once the baby is born, you're gonna be exhausted."
When she stepped where the others were gathered, she tilted her head when she saw Shukumei stlll eating. Then again, that wasn't a surprise. A small giggle came from her. It just feels so nice to enjoy the good times. They might as well since they never know what's going to happen.
When Megumi saw Azumi, she ran over to her, Now hiding behind her, more or less clinging to her leg. She was trying not to be scared, but she just couldn't help it. When she heard the question, she just looks up. "The lady you were gonna feed the food to.. Hina.. Right? She's..kinda scary." Why was she being so uptight? Why can't she just let loose and be happy? Maybe she just needed a little push. She would be the person to give Hina said push. "Don't be so..uh..What's the word.." She was trying to find the right word that could describe Hina and nothing came to mind. So, she was just gonna say whatever came to mind. "You need to be happy Like we all are! You can't have fun if you're all grouchy! You're gonna spoil it! Spoiled like.. Like.. Bad food! Or something.."
It was the best she could do given short notice. She was pretty sure she was gonna get yelled at, so she made sure to stay behind Azumi at all times. She wasn't trying to be mean, but everyone else was enjoying themselves. It's like if one of them isn't happy, the whole group isn't happy either. It all had to fit together! "If one of us isn't happy, it's like everyone isn't! We need to fit together like.. Like uh.. I can't think of the right word but whatever something needs to be all together and all warm and fluffy and.. Hehe, you get the idea~"

Upon hearing what the little girl said. Hina smirked slightly before lowering her head. Children were much more outspoken than she remembers. Its not that she can't have fun, she's just not capable of remembering what Fun feels like. She was always serious, it was Azumi who always got away with murder. She was always the favorite and it was because she was so clueless half the time that no matter what she did everyone didn't mind when she messed up because they assumed she didn't know any better. Yet this small child was willing to defend those she cared about. It was a little cute.
"I see...I do not mean to scare you little one. I am a very serious person, it was how I was raised. Groomed from birth to over see an entire noble house wasn't very much funny. I never had a chance to make real friends, or to do the things most of you have a chance to experience. Then Azumi was born and everyone was obsessed with her and how cute she was. It was like she was born with the power to force people to love her. Even now, I see how she's really well liked and appreciated. In any case I know not how else to be, but perhaps should I remain in your company longer, I will learn more about the lot of you and grow to seem...normal."
She glanced up at her sister whom was just staring off into the distance, she looked pale and distracted by something. That isn't like her at all, she's usually bouncing all over the place.
"Azumi...are you alright?"

After Hina speak, she felt kind of sad. She never thought of a noble's life like that before. Sure they had rules, but to enforce them so strictly? Well, it's done with and she doesn't have to worry about impressing anyone anymore. "Of course you can stay! We won't object at all! It's kinda scary being in a new situation, isn't it? I had no idea nobles were like that. Don't worry about that now! With all of us here, you'll learn all kind of things! Of course, we'll learn a lot from you too. It's what friends do, right? Share information that they think others would like."
After she had apologized for seeming scary, Megumi had stopped hiding behind Azumi. Yuri smiles, rubbing the back of her head. Probably since she was still little, there were going to be things she wouldn't understand. For now, it's important that they help Hina become comfortable as possible. When Yuri looks over to Azumi, something seemed strange. Why was she so quiet? "Yeah, you okay Azumi? You don't seem like your cheery self. Any way we can help?"

Ronin came in through the window, noting that the air in the room was chilly. He saw the woman he carried there was up and about, so he figured that she would be grumpy. He sat down, not really in the mood to partake in conversation. He looked around, seeing a few of them glance at him. He started look out the window, still lost in thought from when he was on the roof. He knew that someone would start talking to him, but he really was not in the mood.

Azumi herself had totally forgotten that her sister asked her a question, she was thinking of what Ryouji was up to and why he didn't bother to tell her that he was leaving. That man is always up to something, but she loves him so she couldn't really get mad at him...much. She turned to her sister and Yuri who were showing that they were worried for her. She put on a smile before turning to them and sitting down at the table, joining them.
"Oh I'm fine...I was just thinking about Ryouji, as to why I look so pale I don't know, I does that mean I have to start wearing make up...my natural beauty is running dry...oh dear!!"
She placed her hand over her cheeks and noticed that the women were staring at her as if she was crazy. She giggled again before turning her attention to Mei-mei whom was still stuffing her face. Her disbelief glance turned to one of awkwardness...how is it's biologically possible someone to eat so much food. Even as a pregnant woman, Azumi could never eat that much...maybe if she was having quadruplets...or sextuplets.
"Mei-mei would you like some more breakfast? You don't seem to have had your fill, let me get you some more."
She smiled as she grabbed Shukumei's plate and stood up as she wobbled herself into the kitchen, Azumi grunted and fell down onto the floor, dropping the plate. She placed her hand over the stomach and was raveling in pain.
"Oh..no...not..now. Why couldn't you wait until Ryouji got back...!! I...think...its...time everyone!"
When she imagined going into labor she never expected it to hurt this much. it felt like a rather large hollow was trying to rip itself out through her goodies!

Ronin saw Azumi fall, instantly appearing beside her in a flash step. He caught her gently in his arms, using his foot to catch the plate before it hit the ground. He knew that she would be upset if the plate smashed, so he decided to save it. He then looked at the woman going into labor in his arms, blinking.
"So... What do I do now?"
He had no idea what to do, and was hoping someone would have an idea before something bad happened.

After seeing Azumi starting to go into labor, the little one started to freak out, not sure what to do. She was in a lot of pain and there was nothing she could do. Ronin had caught her, but he has no idea what to either it seems. She just couldn't stay still. She had to do something and apparently going back and forth in a pacing manner was the only thing she could do. Plus, she was thinking on what to do. Then she looked over to Shi for a moment and just stared. She was older than she was so maybe she was there when she was born. It was perfect! Shi would tell them what to do! She then points at Shi to get her point across.
"Hey Shi! You're older than me! So you had to of been with M.." If she wasn't careful on how she worded it, they would know who she was. She had to think carefully. "You're an adult to Shi! You must of gone through this before! Why don't you help??" Hopefully that was enough for Shi to catch on to what she was asking. Poor Megumi was freaking out, thinking she might not to and just throws up her hands. "We gotta help Miss Azumi! She sounds like she's dying!" Wait, if she sounds like that then does that mean she really is? The poor thing was ready to break down into tears into thinking that Azumi was really gonna die. "She can't go! She' can't, can't can't! Miss Azumi~"
The little one scoots over to Azumi, holding her hand since it was the only thing she can do. Maybe if she was to ask what to do, maybe she could tell them in steps. "What..do we do?? We gotta do something? We can't let anything bad happen! If something bad happens, Mister Ryouji's gonna be mad and is gonna break things! Break them more than normal and that's not normal! If he breaks things, we hafta pay and that's not good either!"

Azumi continue to holding her stomach and screaming her head off. This was positively the worst experience she has ever had. She would never ever go through something like this again for as long as she lived. She had to go to a hospital, she wasn't going to give birth to her baby girl on a kitchen floor.
"I...I need to go to a hospital...but not...here. I have to go to the Soul Society!!!"
She tried to remember everything she learned and read about when it came to birthing, but none of it actually really stuck with her. There was something or other about breathing. She started to breath like the books told her too but it wasn't working, she felt like she was going to explode at any minute. She started screaming again her head off again before the pain passed but momentarily. Azumi stared at Megumi as she took her hand and she smiled but only for a moment. She was still trying to be as helpful as possible.
"Ooh Megumi...you're so sweet...I...I would hug you but I'm afraid that with the way I'm feeling right now...I might...really squeeze you to death! You...don't have to worry sweetie....I will...be...oka..."
Before she could even utter the sentence her pain returned and even sharper and more intense than before. She started screaming again only louder and much harder than at any point before hand. She had to get this baby out of her or she would really die of increasing pains.

Ronin suddenly flashed back to health class, remembering the lesson. He was having a hard time thinking, but he would have to manage. He then poked Azumi lightly on her arm to get her to focus on him. Once she was looking at him, he started breathing in a rather strange pattern. He saw her look at him funny, and shook his head.
"It's from a health class I took, I know it seems silly, but do it. I mean worst case, you go back to screaming. Yuri, portal to Soul Society... need one fast..."
He started breathing again, hoping that Azumi would follow his lead. Maybe it would ake her mind off the pain, if only for a little.

Azumi glared at Ronin and instantly grabbed his face and began to pinch his cheeks with all of her unbridled labor induced fury. How could he expect her to breathe when something the size of Gillian is trying to tear itself out through her understuff!
"I have a baby tearing up my insides and you want me to breathe?!! I'M HAVING A BABY NOT RUNNING TRACK AND FIELD YOU IDIOT!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY TEACHING YOU MORONS!!! YOU WANT TO BE A BIG HELP? SHUT YOUR FACE AND LET ME TEAR IT OFF MAYBE THEN I WILL FEEL BETTER!"
She started screaming again. When the pain kicked up she started pinching Ronin's cheeks even harder to try to pass the pain but it wasn't working. She turned to her sister Hina who was really staring back at her with like a look of shock on her face... Azumi glared at her before sighing and turning to Mei-Mei whom was on her little phone thingy talking to someone. Who the hell could she be talking to at a time like this.
"I hope...she's trying to reach...Ryouji...I want him here SO I CAN KILL HIM FOR MAKING ME GO THROUGH THIS!!! I..wILL PAY ANYONE TO BRING HIM HERE SO I CAN BREAK HIS -beep- NECK!!"
This was almost the perfect morning and then this had to happen, she wasn't supposed to go into this for at least another week, maybe even too, but the little one was ready now...even still she had to get to the soul society. The passed again and she took a deep breath and released Ronin's face from her clutches.
"Hina...has to take me. Ronin is needed hear as is Shukumei. Shizune can't take me because she doesn't really exist in this time...at least not yet...Hina has to take me. So hurry before my pains come back. Someone tell Kisuke to open the senkaimon"
She continued to take deep breathes while trying to relax...though she knew it wouldn't work. She should have asked someone with children how much it hurts.

Upon seeing how her mother was screaming her head off and yelling. Shizune could do nothing but watch in horror. Megumi even put her on the spot, was she trying to tell her something? When Megumi was born she was out in the field working and didn't have a chance to be there with Lady Yuri when she did give birth, this was a totally new experience for her.
"I...I wish there was something I could do Emi...but I wasn't there for...you know. I was on an assignment and I didn't have a chance to come back until after it had already happened"
Upon hearing her mother say a bad word...her mouth dropped and she quickly crawled over to Megumi and covered her ears so she wouldn't hear anything else.
"Mommy, I know you're in pain but..."
After having a split second to think about what she was going to say to her mother and thought it would be best that she didn't, especially considering the mood and pain she's in. To think, she was about to be born in this time and is the cause of all of her mothers suffering and pain. Then again she heard that Lady Yuri was rather feisty too when Megumi was born but she wasn't there to see it. After deciding it for herself, she made a solemn vow to never ever have children. She was even releasing spiritual pressure...it must feel terrible. She wanted to hug her mother and tell her that it would be okay and that she would be fine...but she would fear that her mother would rip out her hair or something. What was Auntie Shukumei doing...was she really on the phone at a time like this.
"Auntie...we have to help her! I don't like seeing her in pain or...screaming...or using bad words in front of Megumi, I don't want to get my face pinched!"

Post by Shukumei Onigata on Jan 19, 2010 9:23:12 GMT -5
Even though she was being harped at by her niece Shukumei closed her soul phone after ending her call. She stood up and walked over to where Azumi was being held by Ronin and stared down at her. As badly as she wanted to feel for her best friend and sister-in-law. She didn't feel bad all, she was going to be an Aunt..officially anyway.
"The lot of you have to know, I was making calls pertaining to you Azumi, I've already gotten you clearance to return to the Sereitei...to give birth to your baby, the second call was to your missing husband. He didn't want to be alone to badly, since he still had his phone on and with him. It pains me to say it since I'm going to be in a lot of trouble but umm he's already within the Soul Society. I had to get him clearance as well...so its pretty much widespread knowledge that he didn't die in Hueco Mundo."
She sighed knowing she could possibly be arrested herself for keeping her brother's secret a secret. He did go rogue so there is a good chance he could be arrested as well but there was more good news.
"We won't have to run Azumi anywhere, members of the emergency division are on their way for her. You're going to have to hang in there Azumi...they still need to get the proper clearance to open the Senkaimon."
She knelt down and grabbed Azumi's hand and patted her head to try to keep her calm. As the pain came back Azumi squeezed her hand and the crushing pain caused her to yelp in pain and try to pull her self free but it was like a death grip..she just wouldn't let go. She could feel the bones in her hand being crushed. Once Azumi let go, Shukumei slid across the floor while gripping her hand with tears in her eyes.

Hina sighed heavily before standing up. She almost feel her baby sister's pain and while part of her wanted to enjoy watching her laying there for the choices she's made...she couldn't stand by watching her and the others being destroyed due to her wraith.
"By the time they get her, it may be to late. In the old days, Senkaimon were not only used to travel to the human world but all of the noble families used them as personal transport. Luckily for my dear sister, being that we were born into nobility, we to have such things at our disposal. Being that she's indisposed at the moment I assume this is why she wanted me to take her. Megumi, you are the only one whom she won't cause bodily damage to her. Would you like to come along with us. I think I speak for my sister when I say she would like you to be there as well"
She narrowed her eyes before turning her back to her sister. There wasn't enough room within the walls of the store...so she would have to move outside.
"Bring her outside I will create a Senkaimon for she and I to use. Megumi, decide quickly if you wish to come with us"
She began to walk for the entrance of the candy store when she stepped out into the entrance area and exited the building she looked around. It was so barren and boring. Kisuke wouldn't know taste if it gave him a big kiss on the lips. Hina brought up her hands before exhaling. She brought them together and began to perform a hand signs before stopping. The Senkaimon slammed into the ground in front of her. Now all that was left was for her sister to be brought here to her so the two of them possibly three if Megumi decided to go.

Megumi did want to go, but how would it be explained? Like Shi, she's not part of this time line's Soul Society. In order to keep everyone out of trouble, she'll have to behave and keep out of sight. Seeing them go outside, the little one rushed outside too. If she could help Azumi stay calm, well, at least try to anyway, she would be a big help to everyone. "I wanna go! I'll be a good girl and help out~ I do have a question though.." Would they get in trouble for bringing her? To this Soul Society, she would be an intruder. "Uhm.. If we do get to Soul Society and everyone sees me, what should I say or do? I'm not a member yet.. Er.. That doesn't matter now! We gotta get her there!" Megumi moved over to Azumi, holding her hand again, more or less trying to cheer. Whether it was cheering up or just cheering for her to have the baby already is unknown, but it's the thought that counts right?
"When the baby is born, I can help babysit! We'll play together and have lots of fun!"

After waiting a few moments, she watched as Azumi was brought out to the Senkaimon with Megumi cheering her on. She was such a high spirited girl. It seemed like no matter what she did, she would always try to have fun. Did she learn that from Shizune? Or was this just a natural perk little girls seemed to possess. She would be most interested in seeing if Shizune would also grow to be a lot like Megumi.
Once Azumi was close enough, she took Azumi's arm and placed over her shoulder to keep her up right. The three of them stepped into the Senkaimon before turning around to depart.
"We will return when Azumi has given birth to the baby...Be careful...everyone"
Did she really just say that. I guess she would really have to try to have a normal life and treat those beneath her much more fairly rather than like underlings. The Senkaimon closed behind them and then vanished, with them leaving for the Soul Society.
