Chapter 9: “Abortion is an Option”

The 12th day since conception.


It may have been Christmas Eve, but that didn't stop Daisuke from walking up the steps of the medical building. (Daisuke... I can't believe you.)

"It's my decision, Dark."

He paused for the sliding doors to part then he continued forwards, and towards the elevator. (Don't you have to receive permission by the court?)

"I've already talked with my doctor, and she is granting me permission without the approval of the court."

(What kind of mother are you?!)

The elevator doors opened, "I'm not meant to mother a child."

He stepped in, and pushed the button that would take him to the fourth floor. Soon, the doors closed, and Daisuke was riding the elevator up. (I hate elevator music.) Dark commented.

"I hate what lies in my womb even more. I didn't even think I have a womb."

(God, Daisuke! How can you be so evil?!)

"How can you be so persistent?"

(Arugh! What has happened to you, Daisuke?! It's like ever since Satoshi accidentally placed the loaf of bread in your oven, you've gone weird on me! If it was Satoshi who was in your situation, I bet my wings that you would be trying to convince him to keep the child, just for the sake of saving a life!)

The elevator doors reopened, and Daisuke walked out, heading towards room 204. Slowly, as if to hesitate, Daisuke turned the knob, and stepped into the room. Luckily, there were no other patients with requests. Just him. He walked over to the front desk, and said, "Hi, I'm Daisuke Niwa, and I've requested papers for abortion."

The man at the front desk first gave Daisuke a strange look, and then nodded, "Yes. Just a minute," he went searching though a few folders, and then found what he was searching for, "Here you are Ms. Niwa."

"Huh?"

(Hahahhaah! He thinks you're a chick!)

"Um, I'm a guy."

The man gave Daisuke an even stranger look, and nodded with a forced smile. "Well then, ‘Mr. Niwa’, have a nice day."

Daisuke nodded, took the paper, and left. "I hope Satoshi is awake, because we have a few things to discuss."

If it weren't for the curtains draped over the windows, the light would have long reached the inside of the apartment. However, despite the lack of sun warmth, Satoshi soon found himself waking up. "Where am I?"

Satoshi slowly sat up, and dazed at the close curtains that hid the morning rays. About thirty minutes later, Satoshi realized that he was still on the floor, and currently had a bad headache. "Ow… My head."

Satoshi slowly sat up, and worked his way to the bathroom, "Why the hell did I fall asleep on the floor?"

Satoshi stripped himself out of his clothes, and stepped under the warm running water. He stood under the water for about two minutes then... it all came flooding back... ("I'm pregnant with your child, Satoshi...”) ... "Daisuke…," Satoshi’s nearly choked, "He's... oh god..."

Satoshi covered his mouth with his hands as he looked down, "That wasn't suppose to happen... Daisuke.. you're... pregnant? With my child?"

Satoshi closed his eyes as the mere thought stimulated his cock. He was excited and scared, happy but nervous. What was going to say next time he sees Daisuke? How could he face him knowing that in Daisuke's womb, the womb of his beloved, a child, his child, was being formed. "I'm going to be a father... Daisuke is the... mother?" he knelt down, and then called out, "Krad!"

There was only silence.

("Why doesn't he ever come when I call? Krad! Krad!")

Satoshi closed his eyes, and looked deep into his mind. To his surprise, he found a fainted Krad lying on his back with crossed eyes, and a parted, drooling mouth. "The sudden news must of sent him into a state of shock. Not that I'm complaining."

Satoshi reached for the soap, and began to lather it over his drenched body, "Is that why you told me you hated me? Because I'm the father of your child? Would you have rather had a kid with Riku?"

Satoshi shook his head, knowing all in his mind that that was what Daisuke wanted.
Outside his apartment, someone was climbing the stairs, heading towards his apartment. Satoshi continued to bath, that was... until he heard someone ringing his doorbell. Satoshi looked towards the bathroom door then thought to himself, "Who could that be?"

He turned off the water as the doorbell's ring became desperate. He reached for a bathrobe, and walked out of the bathroom still dripping wet. He looked out the peephole, and saw Daisuke standing on the other side. ("No! It's too soon! I'm not ready to see you!")

Satoshi backed away from the door, but then Daisuke began ringing the doorbell furiously. Reluctantly, Satoshi opened the door for Daisuke, "Niwa?"

"Morning, Hikari," it seemed that Daisuke was once again trying to avoid eye contact with Satoshi as he was still looking towards the ground.

"Good morning, Niwa," Satoshi didn't have the faintest idea of what to converse with
Daisuke about, "Do you want to come in?"

Daisuke nodded, and Satoshi stepped to the side. Daisuke finally looked up, and gasped as he noticed that Satoshi was wearing that same robe that he wore the other night. Vivid images of him removing that robe from Satoshi's body came flooding back as if it was happening at that moment. "I came to talk to you about something," said Daisuke as he tried to refrain from perverted thoughts.

Satoshi closed the door, and then dared to ask, "What is it?"

"You remember what I told you yesterday, right?" Daisuke asked softly.

"About you hating me, or the other thing?" Satoshi's eye narrowed. Where was Daisuke going with this? Did he have a miscarriage?!

"Don't play dumb. I know you know what I'm referring to," Daisuke moved his hand over his stomach.

Satoshi admired Daisuke's audacity to have engaged in such a delicate topic, "Yes, I do."

"That's what I came here to talk to you about."

"Where is this conversation going, Niwa?" Satoshi asked.

"Hikari, I can't do this. We aren't married, we aren't dating; we aren't even lovers. I don't think I'm even physically able to carry a child since I'm a guy. I'm not meant to do such a thing."

"Niwa?" Satoshi was now in fear of where Daisuke was going with this.

"I didn't have to tell you this, because this is my decision alone, but I wanted to tell you anyways."

Satoshi's lips parted. He had a hunch what Daisuke was going to say. "I'm going to get an abortion."

Satoshi's eyes widen. His bottom lips shivered. Even his knees were feeling weak. This child that Daisuke held was the only thing that he felt was going to keep Daisuke close, so if he aborted it, what reason did Daisuke have to stay close to him? Especially since Daisuke claimed to hate him, "No...," Satoshi whispered, "No. You can't do this, Niwa!" Satoshi looked up at Daisuke, "You can't!"

"I can and I want to!"

"Niwa, please!" Satoshi knelt down before Daisuke, "I beg of you, don't abort the child!"

"Why? Do you want it?" Daisuke waited for an answer.

"Niwa, it's a life! Please! It's our child!" Satoshi stood up before Daisuke looking down at him, "I don't want to see you kill it."

"What reason do we have to keep this child?!"

"Why must you be so stubborn?" Satoshi rested his hands on Daisuke's shoulders.

"Don't touch me!" Daisuke slapped away Satoshi's hands, but then Satoshi wrapped them around Daisuke's body, pulling him in closer.

"Let go of me!"

"No," Satoshi replied firmly, "I don't want to see you kill our child."

"But I don't want it! Let go of me! What is with you, Hikari!"
"I'll do anything for you, Niwa! Just keep the child!"

"Why?" Daisuke began crying in Satoshi's arms, "Why do you want it? Don't you love someone?!"

"Do I love someone...," Satoshi pulled away to look into Daisuke's eyes, "I do love someone very much."

"So do I! So why do you want something like this keeping us away from who we love?!"

"Niwa..."

"I love Riku! I want to spend my life with her!" Daisuke cried, "I don't want something like this to keep me from her!"

Satoshi released Daisuke from his embrace. "You lover her, and you hate me?"

"Yes..."

"Stay with me."

"What?" Daisuke sniffed.

"I don't care that you hate me, Niwa. I'll let you stay with me. I'll take care of you, and after you have the child, I'll keep it, and you can go your way. I'll raise the child alone if that is what you want."

"Why?!"

"Because I want that child. I want to see it grow, and live. I love someone, and I can see now that I'll never have that person because that person is deeply in love with someone else. So give me the child instead."

"But what if my mom finds out?!"

"That's why I'm offering for you to stay here with me, Niwa. You won't have to pay rent. I can afford this place without help. I'll give you everything you want. I'll pamper you. I'll even make any changes just for you to feel at home!"

"You want me to shack up with you?"

"Yes," Satoshi nodded.

"For how long?"

"As long as you like..."

"But I..."

Satoshi pushed Daisuke towards the couch, and Daisuke fell back. Satoshi then looked down at Daisuke as he leaning against the couch and said, "I'll give you everything. I'll even make myself a slave to your will. I'll treat you like a master in his apartment. I'll even let you have the bedroom."

"But this is your apartment!"

"It'll be ours."

"But I don't want to live here! I like where I live!"

"And I don't want you to abort our child!"

"But what about the curse?!"

"The curse?"

"Yeah! Dark said that there was a curse that kept the two families from being with each other!"

(Yes... that curse...)

"Finally awake, Krad?"

(With all the yelling, crying, and arguments, how can I possibly remain asleep?)

"There is a curse?"

(Yes... and it's a dirty one too.)

("What is it?")

(I won't say. You'll just have to see for yourself.)

"Krad!"

(You'll see all in good time. That is if Daisuke decides to keep the child.)

"Niwa... Please. I'm offering everything to you. I'm giving all that I have to you. I'll let you stay here for as long as you like. I'll treat you anyway you like, all of this just for you to let a life live. Give the child a chance."

"I can stay here?"

"Yes... You can stay here and treat me as a slave. I'll do anything you say."

"Even if you know that I hate you."

"Do you hate me for being the one to impregnate you?"

"Yes..."

"You can hate me forever, Niwa, but I still want you to stay close to me."

"I still hate you... and you haven't convinced me."

("Am I supposed to suffer for loving a man? Daisuke... I have nothing to offer you, do I? Nothing that'll give me the chance to take your hand.) "I know that you are scared, Niwa."

Daisuke began to tremble beneath Satoshi's pleading eyes. "I can't..."

"You're scared, but I'll be here for you, Niwa. Please, let me be the one to hold your hand through the way. Let me be the one to stand by your side through the good and the bad. Through the hard times and good times, I'll never abandon you," Satoshi placed his hand on Daisuke's stomach, and Daisuke flinched under Satoshi's fevering stare, "I know there is little that I can offer you... since I know you hate me. It must be irritating to have to see the one you hate so much each and every day, and if you want, I'll even make it so that you won't have to see my face. You won't have to hear my voice. But I'll stay close by, guarding you like an angel."

"No..."

"You can yell at me, and scold me all you want if it helps you. You can continue to scream the hurtful and painful words to me until there is nothing left to say. I stay. I'll listen. I won't talk back. I'll be like a good and obedient dog tending to my master."

"I hate you...," Daisuke's tears started up again.

"Tell me that all you want..., Niwa. Tell me you hate my guts. Tell you want me dead."

"Hikari….Would you like it if I were to say such things?" Daisuke asked.

"Only if you want me to. I'll love it. It'll be all that you have to say to me. You don't have to say anything nice to me. You can say whatever you like, and I'll make it all that I need to hear. I won't cry... I won't throw you out. I'll take it. I'll live through all of it."

"But anyone else would be annoyed! Irritated to have to put up with someone who does nothing but talk down about them!"

"Chastise me with words of hate, and I'll make you everything that I have," Satoshi took Daisuke's hand, and lightly kissed it, "You will be my whole world, my cruel paradise of anguish and pain. Just as long as you are near by, I'll be fine."

"But such words hurt people, Hikari. And I know I'll say such things, so I don't want to stay with you! I don't want to make your life a living hell. I want to leave you alone. I don't want to hurt you anymore than I've already done."

"Stay with me, Niwa. I'll take care of you until the day God judges the world. You will be all that I have and all I care for.”
