Out of the Dark

"It's going to be a nasty one in just a few short hours folks. Take your pets out now, bring the furniture in, and make sure your kids are indoors." The demon on the TV pointed towards a viciously swirling mass heading right for the area that held the city of Severa, as well as several miles in diameter of the surrounding land. "As we can see, this is a powerful storm kicking up very ugly lightning. I don't want to see the poor sap stuck out on the streets when this hits, so get indoors now."

Sha unlatched Shadow's leash once she heard the news broadcast, and let the dog roam the house again. "Hope he's home by then…" She hooked the leash next to the door and shifted the weight of her eighteen-month-old son in her arms as he began to wake up. "I see you enjoyed the walk as well, little Kiete."

The child rubbed at his black eyes and rustled his tiny wings in a sort of stretch.

She smiled softly as she carried him back to the couch to sit down. Shadow leapt up as well to settle down for a well-deserved nap. "It is remarkable how much you resemble him." A sudden crash outside made her jump, and made Kiete start to cry from being startled. "Oh hell's bells. It's all right, Mommy's here." Her focus went to the TV where the storm system was still moving slowly but surely right towards Severa. "Let's just hope Daddy gets home safe…"

"So I repeat, bring everything inside that you can, furniture, pets, and children alike. Wind speed will rise so high, a pencil can be shot straight through a tree. We now go live to Morty Stinson on the streets of Severa to give his report. Morty?"

The station froze for a moment while it switched over to a live view of the city. A hunched over, green-skinned man stood in a raincoat on the sidewalk while other demons around him hurried to get off the streets. "Thanks Dean. I'm here outside Don's Bakery, solely because the crew needed some coffee and tasty treats, so after this storm, I highly recommend coming to check this place out." He cleared his throat. "Anyway, as you can see behind me, the normally deep red skies have become almost completely black with the impending hurricane. Landfall is expected in about an hour, and power outages are a definite. The electric companies are standing by, ready to fix whatever damages arise." A loud crack of thunder sounded on the TV and rain began to pour on the man. "Well Dean, it looks like the rain is here, but the hurricane is still set for landfall in an hour. Back to you at the studio, I'm going back inside the bakery to get another cannoli."

Sha sighed and looked out her own window, seeing no sign of the usual red sky at all. The immediate downpour that was on the news reflected exactly the same as outside her window. "Good thing you went for a walk, huh Shadow? No idea when you'll get to go out again."

The dog merely huffed and rolled to his side as a response.

She nearly jumped out of her skin as the front door burst open again. She leapt to her feet, child still in hand, only to start laughing slightly. "You look like a drowned rat."

Hiei rolled his eyes. "Bite me. I got caught in it just as I was getting to the building."

She nodded to the TV. "You missed the worst of it. They're saying landfall in an hour."

He headed past her towards their room. "Good for me. Give me a second so I can get out of this stuff."

"Sure." She sat down again, but shook her head as she started feeling a little dizzy. "That's odd…" She managed to keep herself steady until Hiei came back out in dry clothes. Instantly, she got up and handed him Kiete. "Hold him, I'm not feeling so great all of a sudden."

He frowned at her retreating back. "You weren't feeling great yesterday, or the day before that too."

"Might've caught something," she said hurried, and holed herself up in her bathroom. "At least I hope that's what it is." Immediately after purging her stomach, her nerves gave a lurch as she realized she was late. "I can't be…" She put a hand to her belly and closed her eyes, concentrating. She felt out for heartbeats, finding her own easily, though just as she was about to pull away, another beat sounded faintly behind her own, this one a rapid movement. "Oh hell." She tried to get up, only to be startled by an enormous crack of thunder and the lights going out around her. She felt around for the door handle, effectively bruising her wrist as she missed a few times. Once she finally got out, she used the still-faint glow of the sky to shuffle out of the bedroom. "Fine now."

"Good. I put the hellion in his prison. While there was still light, of course." Lightning lit up the room, followed by another crack of thunder. "Sounds like it's directly above us."

She nodded. "Yeah, sounds like it." She rubbed at her arms as the crashes and flashes continued outside and the rain began to pound harder. "Seems we need to talk."

"About what?"

"Come here a minute." She waited until he was close enough, then grabbed his hand and put it over her belly. "Feel for it." She felt him falter for a second before he nodded and felt for the presence.

"That clears a few things up." He pulled away and crossed his arms. "So, you're pregnant."

"Seems so."

"Can't tell the sex on it yet though. Too soon." He shook his head. "Are you prepared for another one of these?"

"Not in the slightest. Kiete takes up enough of my time, but what else can we do?" She bit at her lip. "I know you said you wouldn't mind more than one, but is that still even true?"

He shrugged. "Nothing we can do about it besides raise it. I'm not about to become a killer of my own potential offspring." He looked back to the playpen, where Kiete had curled into a ball for a nap, despite the ruckus of the impending hurricane outside. He let a smile slip. "Besides, this one's turning out fine. What harm would a second one bring?"

Just as she tried to answer, a particularly loud crack sounded from outside, making her jump forward into his surprised grasp. They both laughed after a second, realizing the lighting had struck a tree outside. "Those guys on the news weren't kidding, jeez." She held on to him tighter though, and nuzzled his neck. "So what got you willing for another hellion?"

"You were so pleasant while you were pregnant the last time I thought it would be loads of fun to do it again." He grinned as she bit his shoulder playfully. "I'm not sure, really. Same as last time. Do I really need a reason to want to breed with you?"

"Not particularly." She smiled into his shoulder. "You up for doing random errands when I get rounder again?"

"Never was." He pulled away and started gathering candles from around the apartment so they could have some form of light.

She leaned against the couch and stared out at the strong bolts of lightning attacking their fair city, a thoughtful look gracing her face. The power cutting out could prove to be extremely advantageous in letting her keep her new pregnancy a surprise from her friends. Another loud clap of thunder made her flinch. "This is going to be an exceptionally long night…"
