Natsuki: You actually finished this?

Shizuru: Ara, I'm surprised, Shu

Me: Yea yea, whatever, too tired to write


Epilogue


Dear Natsuki,

I hope that you're doing fine. I'm sorry that I must continue to live in hiding, but you never know if any other enemies will show their faces. I'm not sure if I will ever be able to return home, but trust me, it's not like life is hard. This is why I bought this cabin in Canada such a long time ago. I love the people here, obsessed with money and terribly nice, although they're not very good singers. The women are, yes, but the men also sound like women.

I understand that your wedding to Shizuru Fujino was almost a year ago. Congratulations. From the rumors that I've heard, Chie has been helping you learn the aspects about the family business. The bar I do feel guilty about, just please continue the gentlemen's club and the other buildings which our family owns. Build up our wealth and treat your family right. I cannot stress this enough.

I also have one other question for you, Natsuki. Remember that this is of the utmost importance and you cannot ever forget. Take care of this soon, before you become to old.

Natsuki, have you chosen an heir to the family name?

Natsuki's eye widened as she finished the letter, "Shit."


Walking down the stairs to the parlor, Natsuki sighed and scratched the back of her head. She needed to find an heir to the family name. Problem: Her and Shizuru; both women. Chie and Aoi, both women. Mai and Tate, the guy's infertile. Nao and Mikoto, both women. Damnit. She didn't even know any guys that well! Where the hell were they going to get sperm?

How would that even work? She sure as hell wasn't going to tell some guy have sex with Shizuru to make the baby. But it's not like she could just take his sperm and put it in Shizuru without him. It was impossible. It would never work.

So… then what? Maybe they could adopt a child. But they lived in a relatively isolated town. There wasn't a large city nearby and orphans weren't a very common occurrence. Hell, there weren't any in town currently. Besides, even there were, how could they explain leaving town and coming back with a child.

They would need a baby… they would need a new born baby and they would have to spread the rumors about Shizuru being pregnant now so that everything panned out okay. Natsuki looked up and stopped a maid who was walking by, "Zaina, Shizuru is pregnant. Very pregnant." she said, letting the maid go and walking again.

Zaina scurried off and stopped at another maid, already spreading the simple rumor.

Natsuki kept walking and went back to her thoughts. There, Shizuru's very pregnant. Though she wasn't quite sure what that meant. Now they had some time to find a new born baby that looked like both of them and could pass as they're child. It could work, since Shizuru had been planning Mikoto's and Nao's wedding. No one in town had seen her for a while. Yea, this could work!

"Oh dear god I'm fucked." Natsuki muttered, reaching the yard. She went back inside for a moment to grab a towel, and with good reason. She returned to the yard and went to the canopy of trees and shade where Shizuru, Mikoto and Nao sat, looking through books and cloth.

Mikoto was a taller, barely. Kind of. Not really. She came Natsuki's chin, and was more of a boy than anything. Since her chest was flatter she fit into the men's clothes more easily and her loud personality made her anything but a quiet wife.

Nao, now being the fiancé (yes, fiancé) to a Sir, was now decked out in beautiful dresses all the time. Make up, heels and the constant appearance of a quiet wife. She hated it, oh so much.

"Now we can use this grainy white for the dress so that you two can match." Shizuru explained, holding a white cloth in her hand and smiling at the too.

Nao shook her head and leaned back in her chair, "I still don't think that Mikoto should be wearing white. She could have a traditional black tux." she explained, looking to her fiancé. Mikoto nodded in agreement and grinned, knowing she was getting married within a matter of months.

"Yes, because two women getting married is just so traditional." Natsuki said, stopping at the table and putting a hand on her wife's shoulder. Nao glared at her, but the bluenette just smirked and leaned down to kiss Shizuru's cheek, making the woman smile.

"Natsuki, what's the towel for?" Shizuru asked, taking the white thing from her lover.

Biting her lip, Natsuki smiled nervously, "You need to put this under your dress… you're now 5 months pregnant." she said, making all three girls in front of her look at her in surprise. She raised her hands in defense and sighed, "My father wrote me another letter. We have a problem. We need an heir, Shizuru, to the Kuga name and money."

The surprised looked around her then fell. Now they had a serious problem, that's for sure, and they all understood that. Mikoto leaned back in her chair and blinked, "Can't you just… I dunno, have a man make one?"

Raising her brows, Natsuki scoffed and shook her head, "No man is going to touch my Shizuru. I'll kill him." she threatened.

Mikoto nodded and stepped down, while Nao voiced her own opinion, "Why don't you just get a family to make a baby for you? Or find someone who doesn't want their kid." she asked.

"Not possible. We need a new born baby and it would have to look like Shizuru and I to pass as our child." Natsuki explained, taking a seat next to Shizuru. She looked at the towel and back to Shizuru, raising her brows. The brunette rolled her eyes and quickly put the towel under her dress, pulling it up to her stomach and giving herself a nice baby bump.

Natsuki smiled and kissed her wife, muttering a thank you. However they still had no idea how they were going to make a baby…

"Ara, we could go to the nearest town and see if there is a pregnant girl there willing to give up her child. That way we have a new born and the basic idea of what her child might look like…" Shizuru said, shrugging a bit."

Nodding, Natsuki agreed, "That's probably our best bet. What's the closets town?" she asked, thinking about her limited knowledge of the new world they lived in. This place was easy as hell to navigate and travel through, but isolated from everything else.

"Salem." Mikoto said, looking up at that. "Tate told me about an evil town, controlled by demons that kill women just for being poor. I don't want to go there Nao!" Mikoto yelled, shaking her head and burying her face in the red head's neck.

Shizuru leaned back and sighed, "Me and Natsuki shall go alone. The less people the better, since this is something that only we can figure out." she said. So it was only a year after the wedding and now they had to go to a nearby town and find a stranger, take their baby and raise the child as their own. Yea… what could possibly go wrong…

"We'll talk to you guys later then." Nao said, standing up and bring Mikoto with her. The younger girl detached and went to hug her friends, smiling and waving at them as the two departed. Great, more things to worry about. Now not only did they have to plan a wedding, but now her and Mikoto were probably going to have to find a baby too.

Natsuki sighed and rubbed her temples, squeezing her eyes shut to try and get the pain out. There was no way this could work… but they had to try. In the name of the Kuga lineage. For her father. For herself.

Raising a baby with Shizuru would be so fun…


Natsuki sat in the carriage to Salem and sighed. She was laying on the seat with her back against the wall and Shizuru was napping between her legs. Honestly, why didn't her father have something like this already figured out? He had a will written beforehand just in case Mr. Fujino finally cracked, but he didn't think that the fact that his daughter, who was marrying another woman, would one day need an heir?

Vagina and vagina = no babies!

Slamming her head against the wall behind her, Natsuki sighed again and yawned, the toll of this trip finally hitting her. The people from this town here supposed to be very religious, so it might be hard to get one of their women to simply give up her child.

'I do supposed we could have her come back with us and have the baby in due time, than just send her back.' she thought, trying to get every possibility in her mind. They still had a lot to think through, and this plan as in no way concrete. They just had to hope for the best. And find a new born baby or a woman willing to give them one.

Yea, only a one in a million chance of success. The only thing that Natsuki had ever heard of this Salem place is what Mikoto had told her, and what her father had been talking about one night.

That one of his business partners at a church in that town was suspected of being a demon or something like that, and afterwards they crushed him between two rocks because he refused a trial. Aren't religious people supposed to be all loving? Stupid contradictions…

Hitting a bump in the road, a shaken Shizuru looked up and rolled onto her back on her lovers lap. She opened her wine eyes and smiled up, "Are we there yet, love?"

"No, 'Zuru, but we only have about another hour. Just go back to sleep and I'll tell you when we get there." Natsuki said, running her hands through the woman's hair and returning the smile. The brunette smiled and snuggled back into Natsuki's lap, returning to dream land.

Sighing for a third time, Natsuki yawned and leaned her head back, resting it against the wood. Maybe she should take a small nap, too. There was going to be a lot of work to be done in Salem, after all. Just a small dozing couldn't possibly… hurt… anyone…

The door to the carriage slammed open, waking both the girls inside. A man in all black clothing grinned at them from the outside and waved happily, "Well good morning, sleepy heads! You must be Lord Kuga, from the next town over!" he said loudly, shaking Natsuki's hand as she exited the carriage.

The man helped a very tired Shizuru out and bowed to her, "And you must be his wife, Shizuru Kuga. We heard of your arrival this morning and have prepared a bit of a welcoming for you. If you don't mind, I'll be glad to show you around town and introduce you to a few people here."

Natsuki nodded and squinted at the bright night in her eyes. Once they adjusted to the light and her mind started working again, she looked around her. The town was basic, pretty small. Maybe even smaller than home. There were a few women walking around, all seeming friendly and happy. The few talked and smoked in their groups, all tipping their hats to her.

The building were old, wooden and had no signs on them, just family names. How did people know what they were buying? And why were there no other carriages or anything? She moved to stand by Shizuru and took the woman's hand, giving her a concerned look, which Shizuru returned.

The man who had greeted them took a deep breath and grinned once again, "Alright well, lets get started! The businesses here don't need signs or nothing because if people do need to buy something, god will show them the way!" he said, walking down a street and pointing as he went along.

"Everyone here is very friendly and nice, because we all believe that doing good deeds will help us reach Heaven. But of course, only a select few are allowed to enter, and nothing we do can sway god's decision."

"Ara, but why would you do good deeds if everything is already determined?" Shizuru asked, making the man stop. He turned around and glared at her hard, a dark shadow covering his face. Natsuki's eyes widened at his sudden change of personality.

But the man turned back around and kept on walking, as if nothing had happened, "Being good shows god's decision to other people."

'So it's all for peer respect.' Natsuki thought, mentally rolling her eyes.

"Now the town is small, but we're strong against the savages that threaten us. God did give us this land by brutally killing all the natives that once lived here with disease so that we may live in happiness."

The two women behind him gaped and stared at each other, questioning everything that was coming from this guys mouth. This didn't make any sense! Maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea to take a baby, or a girl, from this town. It could be horrible…

"And all our leaders are appointed by the church and are given their power from god. I myself am working towards finding a wife and gaining wealth so that I may be chosen by god to be holy and powerful."

"This is making no sense to me." Natsuki whispered, to Shizuru, who quickly agreed with her. Everything contradicted everything. Power appointed by men yet given by god? Power that wouldn't exist had they not been appointed by men! And sense when did wealth and a wife show holiness? This place was backwards…

"Really this is a good place to live. We have barely any crimes, and when there are crimes they are committed either by outsiders or those who were possessed by the devil for a short while and were forced to commit the crimes, so really it wasn't their fault."

"Interesting…" Natsuki started, smirking to herself a bit, "So if I were to be possessed right now, and punched you in the face, I wouldn't be punished."

"Oh, you'd be gravely punished. God would have your soul sent to hell in the instant you died." the man said, stopping and giving her a stern look.

Her smirk widening, Natsuki wrapped her arm around Shizuru and laughed, "But obviously, this god loves me! I have a gorgeous wife and a fortune that most men cannot think of. I'm already chosen if I have these things, than I shouldn't be punished, correct?" she asked.

The man stopped to think about it, cursed under his breath and then nodded again, "That is also true."

"So really I could get away with whatever the hell I want." Natsuki added on, just for added pleasure.

"No, because you're belonging would be stripped from you, your wife would leave you, and you will die a horrible miserable person." the man said, shaking his head at her.

Nodding, Natsuki made her hand into a fist and shrugged, "Yea, I guess you're right." she said, pulling back her fist and hitting the man square in the nose, "Don't worry about that, guy. You're being punished for your sins. And I'll be punished ten years from now." she said, pulling Shizuru with her as they stepped over the men writhing in pain on the floor.

Shizuru glared at her lover and sighed, "You shouldn't mess with the locals so you just did, Natsuki."

"Ahh, what the hell do I care. They're all crazy anyway." she said, shrugging and continuing down the road. Shizuru giggled and held Natsuki's arm against her chest. Though the bluenette's humor could be quite crude at times, it was true that they were indeed living in a different world.

One ruled by business and wealth, not by a bearded man in the sky. Seemed to be working for them…

"Let's look around. Maybe we can find someone to help us with our problem." Natsuki said, wondering if any more towns folk were going to try and talk to them. She hoped they would, it would be hilarious!

As the two walked around town, they saw many children. Obviously this town was a breeding hot bed. Young adults, teens, children, and babies. They were everywhere. Half of the town hadn't hit puberty and the other half was on the verge of death. How did a town like this survive?

Oh yea, dude in the sky.

Apparently.

"Natsuki, look." Shizuru said, pulling on her loves arm and pointing across the street. There on the street was a woman with a basket in her arms. In the basket was a baby wrapped in a blanket. She was clothed in torn and dirtied clothing, looking poor and hungry, "Surely she'd give us her child. She has the same color hair as me, so maybe the child could pass if it looks completely like me."

"Possibly," Natsuki muttered, watching the woman go to a door and knock. A man answered and they started talking. "But how do we get her to give us the baby? Do we just… ask for it?" Natsuki asked, trying to figure it out in their head.

Would they… pay her? Is that slavery or something? Or would they get into a deep discussion about her life and problems and eh and blah and man she didn't want to do that.

"Ara, lets simply go ask her." Shizuru said, pulling Natsuki across the street, no matter how hard the bluenette resisted. As they got closer, the man slammed the door in the woman's face and the woman stepped down, muttering things to herself.

They stopped in front of her and she looked at them for a second before bowing, "Sorry for crossing your paths, my lords." she said, trying to side step them.

Shizuru giggled and shook her head, "Ara, we wish to talk to you, actually." she said politely, smiling nicely at the woman.

She raised her brows, nodding slowly. Natsuki smiled awkwardly and rubbed the back of her head, "Look, I have absolutely no idea who to ask this or if the guy in the sky would let you listen to me, but we're looking to adopt a child and I was wondering if we could adopt yours from y-"

"There's the witch!"

"Burn her!"

"Hang her!"

"Wretched whore!"

Natsuki stopped and looked over the woman's shoulder. An angry mob completely decked out with torches and pitchforks were coming their way. Natsuki's eyes widened as she and Shizuru stepped a few ways back, leaving room between them and the woman.

From the crowd, a man with long grey hair and a bible in his hands stepped forward, "Sarah Good, you have been acused of being a witch and signing a contract with the devil! How you do plead?" he asked her, yelling the whole time, "Lying is punishable by death!"

"And so is being a witch, you witch!" a man from the crowd yelled.

Natsuki turned to Shizuru and whispered, "So if she says she isn't a witch and they say she's lying, they kill her. And if she says she is a witch, they kill her."

"Yup… lets watch." Shizuru whispered back.

The woman shook her head and cowered before the man, "I have not committed these sins, sire!"

"Yes, she did! I saw her muttering to herself after leaving a man's house yesterday!"

"I was muttering my prayers for the people who turn me away. I pray they live long, prosperous lives!" the woman pleaded, resting on her knees and nearly begging for her life.

"She was whispering spells and enchantments to curse the people!"

"Yea!"

"Burn the witch!"

"Hang her!"

The mod encircled the woman and picked her up, carrying her away towards the court house. Natsuki and Shizuru both stood there with absolutely nothing to say. Natsuki stepped forward and looking in the forgotten basket. After a moment she raised her leg and kicked the basket, "Lets a doll." she said simply, "Well… we're going home!"


After a long, exhausting trip home, the dio were finally back where they started. By their front door.

Natsuki opened the door and let Shizuru it, closing it behind them, "We are never going back there! Those people in Salem are insane." she yelled, taking off her coat and placing it on the coat rack. She also took of Shizuru's, and the woman's hat and placed them on the same piece of furniture.

Shizuru stretched and moaned in agreement, smirking at the girl who was now watching her, "I hope that woman's okay."

"I couldn't care less." Natsuki muttered, stepping closer and wrapping her arms around Shizuru's waist. The brunette smiled and nodded, kissing her lover softly. "We just need to make out own baby," Natsuki whispered, kissing between her words, "on our house… in our bed."

"Mmmm agreed." Shizuru muttered, kissing her back.

KNOCK KNOCK

Looking down, Natsuki saw a basket, and inside it was a small infant wrapped in a blanket with a note attached. "Holy shit…" Natsuki muttered, reaching down and picking up the child. She cradled the infant in her arms while Shizuru picked up the note.

Dear Lord Kuga,

I am sorry to bestow this burden on you, however I am not able to take care of this child because of my current situation. Please take care of my child and give her a good life. Her name is Nina; please love her. Do not try and find me, I am from a different town and shall return there soon.

Shizuru blinked and smiled softly, closing the door again. She stood next to her wife and smiled down at the small baby there, who had woken up from her nap. The child had bright orange eyes and a small tuff of blue hair on her head. "She… looks like us." Natsuki muttered, looking up and grinning at Shizuru.

The brunette nodded and grinned back, "Ara, problem solved. Now all we have to do is raise her correctly and make sure she married into a strong family such as the Kugas." Shizuru said, smiling down at her work hating wife.

Natsuki only shrugged and put her finger in front of the baby's face, making the girl squeal and grab the finger happily.

Shizuru blinked and cleared her throat, "Uh, Natsuki? I do believe we were about to go upstairs…"

"We have a kid now, Shizuru!" Natsuki said, smirking at her lover, "we can't just have sex all the time! Children first!" she yelled, exiting the room.

"…god damnit…"
