-Chapter 1- Hang on…WHAT?!

Hatori lit up a cigarette as Shigure flopped down on the bed beside him with a satisfied sigh. Hatori thought about glaring at him before handing the smoke over to his friend, knowing it would only be stolen otherwise.

"Haa-san! Thank you, you do love me don't you?"

Hatori snorted at this, "Yeah, in your dreams maybe…and my nightmares…" Hatori growled softly as Shigure took a long drag from the cigarette. The dog then brushed their mouth's together, and Hatori could taste the tobacco on Shigure's tongue. When they parted, the dragon sighed softly before plucking his smoke back from the dog. Shigure pouted childishly before sitting up and stretching out languidly and standing.

"Going? Already?" Hatori asked. Shigure usually spent more than just five minutes with him after they fucked.

"Sorry, I told the kiddies that I was torturing my editor, and Yuki knows how long that really takes," Hatori merely chuckled. There is no love in this relationship, he thought as he watched Shigure clean himself up and dress, it's just away to deal with sexual tension. He had to remind himself. He did this at least once a day now, he had, after all, begun to want more…so much more.

-6 weeks later-

Hatori moaned, clutching his recently emptied stomach in agony.
"Not again dammit," He moaned, pulling the silver lever on his porcelain companion. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and stood weakly, rinsing his mouth out at the sink before taking a quick sip.

"Uugh," He groaned. Every day for the past week now he had been unable to hold anything down during the morning hours. He had told none of his plight either, knowing what the reactions would be. He knew Kyou would ask how a doctor got sick -inevitably resulting in a lovers spat with Yuki- Ayame would insist on taking care of him, likely dragging Shigure along to help. Akito wouldn't give a damn, though Kureno likely would give him a worried look and nothing more. The list went on through various stages of hyper-activity ranging to not-caring. He could do most of the tests himself, he knew, and decided that enough was enough. With nothing left to turf, he walked on shaky legs to his office. He found what he needed and drew four vials of blood and took a sample of his own urine. He then began to test for everything he could think of short of driving to a hospital for an MRI or a Full Body Scan.

Nothing. Hatori stared at the various results. He had done everything, he had even fasted for twelve hours to draw blood for a cholesterol test! But nothing, everything was where it was supposed to be, in his normal range. He growled, wracking his brain for anything he may have missed. He snatched the sheet up which he had been marking off what he had tested for and scanned it. No, he had tested for everything…everything except for…Hatori blanched and shook his head, more in disbelief than anything else. There was no way…but he supposed eliminating one more thing couldn't hurt, right? He grabbed the test, deciding on the urine test and performed it quickly.

"Well that's not normal," He said aloud. He took a fresh sample, then calmly repeated the test. He felt a little faint when he saw the same results. He immediately performed every test for it that he knew of before sitting back in his chair and staring at the white-wash wall in front of him, shocked.
"Dear God…." He mumbled, before a soft smile spread across his lips. He actually felt bubbly, giddy even. His good mood vanished when he realized that he had to tell Akito and Shigure. Damn, I am not looking forwards to that, he thought. Akito was, after all, the most unpredictable woman in the world. Had to be done, everyone would find out sooner or later anyways…assuming things went well with Akito anyways. Given that she had not been ill for nearly two weeks straight now though, his chances of catching her in a good mood were relatively good. He stood, disposed of the tests and samples in the appropriate bins before heading to Akito's room.

Kureno and Akito turned to look at him in surprise and Kureno shooed himself. Akito was definitely surprised as she hadn't called him to her.
"Akito-san, I have just learned something important," He mumbled, clearly nervous.
"Go on," She replied, clearly curious.
"Well, uh…I wasn't feeling well, so um, well I did a few tests…" He was now staring at the floor.
"Yes? I assume you know what's wrong now?"
"I…uh, that is…it would seem, I'm…pregnant…" Hatori gulped, looking up at her. Her pale face went from it's normal pale colour, to paler, to red, and then she burst out laughing.

"Ha-Hato-ri! Y-your kidding right?" Akito was laughing so hard that she had tears in her eye's and was now clutching her stomach. Hatori merely hung his head in response.
"You mean to say you're not? B-but how?"
"I…turn into a seahorse. Seahorse males are the one's who get pregnant, so that may have something to do with it.," He was waiting for the order to kill it, to destroy the new life within him. Instead Akito laughed again. Hatori looked up at her and a worried Kureno poked his head back in the room, surprised when he was motioned over and the rooster made his way quickly to Akito's side.

"Kureno, Hatori is p-pre-pregnant!" She giggled uncontrollably, "isn't that h-hilarious?!"
Kureno turned to look at Hatori, wide-eyed in shock.
"I know right? Fine, you can keep it, but only those on the inside may know. Any who don't already know our secret you'll have to wipe the memories of any who should find out." Akito was wiping away tears of mirth when she began to giggle again.
"Th-thank you, Akito-san," Hatori said, giddy once more. She waved him away-unable to speak- and he nearly ran back to his office, dialling in Shigure's number.

"Moshi moshi, Sohma residence" came Yuki's voice on the other end.
"Yuki-kun, is Shigure-san there? It's important."
"Hatori-san? No he's asleep,"
"Wake him. Now."

Hatori's voice was so demanding that Yuki went to the dog who was busy snoring on the sofa.
"Shigure-san? Hatori-san…he want to…Shigure-san?"
"…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…"
Kyou promptly kicked the dog in the head causing him to roll of with a squeak and land on the floor with a thud. Kyou smirked at Yuki, who merely rolled his eye's and handed the phone to Shigure.

"Yeeeees?" He said, climbing back onto his couch, "Haa-san! How lovely to hear from you…what, uh huh, yes I'm sitting down…yes…YOUR WHAT?!"
Kyou and Yuki stared at Shigure and Tohru poked her head out of the kitchen to see what was wrong.

End Chapter 1!!!

Hatori: …Really?
Seliphra: Exciting, isn't it?
Shigure: Uh…do male seahorses really get pregnant?
Hatori: Yes, the female deposit's the eggs with him. He then fertilizes, carries, gives birth to, and raises the young. In fact female seahorses have a tendency to kill baby seahorses that they come across.
Seliphra: Lucky Hatori is a guy, ne? See you all in chapter two, entitled 'The Betting Pool' Please, review even if all you have to say is REVIEWS FOR YOU! I don't mind those!
