What the heart should follow

Chapter 7
Tetsumi vs. Riku

Wiping the sleep off her eyes Ashieyu yawned and looked around the room seeing Riku asleep on the chair next to her. His hair was in front of his face while his hands were at his sides. Trying to get up she felt a pain in her stomach; gasping for breath she put her hand on the chair and the other on one of the bedposts. Riku hearing the noise wakes up to find Ashieyu shaking and whimpering in pain. \"Their…coming…\" Digging her nails into the bed she was about to fall but Riku came to her side and caught her.

\"I\'ll bring you to the infirmary.\" Picking her up slowly Riku started to run down the hallways. Another shock of pain came and Ashieyu let out another scream asa she did she dug her nails into Riku\'s chest, shaking and breathing harder as more and more pain came she was starting to wish that she was dead. \"Shit you better not start to push.\" Getting into the hospital he put her on a bed but just as he turned around she grabbed his arm tightly not letting him go. \"Raine get in here NOW!!!\" Riku yelling at the doctor as he came running towards them with his short messy hair coming towards them and looking at Ashieyu with his one green eye and one grey eye.

\"What\'s wrong?\" Raine now looking at his Riku.

\"What\'s wrong!? SHE\'S HAVING A BABY THAT\'S WHAT\'S WRONG NOW GET THESE THINGS OUT OF HER!\" Riku trying to get away is still held back by Ashieyu so he just sat by her. Letting out another scream she starts to push.
After five hours of labor she gave birth to two boys, one from Tetsumi and one from Rikki. Tired and with hardly any energy she looked at her two boys. One had blue hair with golden eyes and fangs, and the other had blonde hair with blue eyes and one black-feathered wing and one white-feathered wing. Smiling at her sons she heard their laughter as she held them, but Riku interrupted her happy moment.

\"Raine is getting them beds they can sleep by you, hn my little nephew. How would your lovers feel now since they couldn\'t be there for their children\'s birth?\" Riku looking at both of them grinned and looked to Ashieyu.

\"You promised that you wouldn\'t hurt them Riku.\" Ashieyu now looking at him with pleading eyes.

\"I did yes, and I won\'t unless you disobey.\" Turning to the door Riku saw one of his minions standing there.

\"Riku your brother is here with that angel.\"

\"Good.\" Grinning, Riku left the room. \"Watch her make sure she doesn\'t do anything Raine.\" Raine nodding while he pushed his glasses up to his face while looking at the sleeping Ashieyu. Running down the halls Riku heard the clashing of metal. Getting outside Riku looked at his brother fighting off some of his men. \"Well little brother I\'m glad your hear, but you both are to late. Your woman has given birth to your children, what cute little things they are.\"

Tetsumi now glaring at his brother, clutches his sword \"Brother, if you hurt them I will-\" Riku now laughing and cutting of Tetsumi smiles at him.

\"Me hurt your wife and children, oh Tetsumi what do you take me for? They\'re all fine. I just want to talk to you, only you. Now come in brother.\" Riku turning his back went inside with Tetsumi and Rikki following.

\"I want to see them Riku.\"

\"Of course I\'m sure you do then we will get down to business.\" Riku stepping inside of the infirmary looks to Raine with his sword but just as Raine sees Riku he puts it down and lets him pass. \"There she is.\" Riku pointing to the bed as Tetsumi and Rikki run towards her.

\"Ashieyu! Your ok.\" Riku and Tetsumi now by her side as they wake her from her sleep.

\"Hi guys, I\'m so glad you\'re ok, are both of you alright?.\" Ashieyu smiling as tears run down her face, looks at the twins. \"Your sons are right there, their so cute.\" Tetsumi and Rikki nod, as they both go to kiss Ashieyu on her forehead, they look to the children.

\"My guess this one is mine. He looks just like me!\" Tetsumi now smiling proudly as Rikki did the same to his son.

\"What did you name them Ashieyu?\" Rikki looks at her as he sits down beside her. Tetsumi looking up from the baby looks to Ashieyu.

\"I didn\'t get to name them I feel asleep, so then you can name them if you want.\"Ashieyu now looks longingly to hold them in her arms..

\"Then name them.\" Tetsumi said giving the little one to her, and smiling. \"By the way mine\'s the oldest right?\"

\"Yes yours is the oldest Tetsumi.\" Laughing, she looks to the sleeping child in her arms \"I will name him Akio. The other I will name Jiro.\" Kissing Akio on the head she see him stir a little and open his big golden eyes, as he gives a little laugh.

\"Sorry to break up this happy moment but if we could get down to business it would be very much appreciated.\" Riku now stepping forward to break apart the little love fest. \"She\'ll be fine as well the children, now come with me.\" Tetsumi and Rikki glare at him as they put the babies back in the basket and kiss Ashieyu before they leave.

\"Don\'t worry get some rest, we\'ll be back.\" Walking out of the room they walk down the hallways with demons at their backs and Riku to the front. Opening a door Riku walks into his room.

\"Please sit. The reason why I did all this is because little brother I want you to join us, we need you to be indestructible. We could have the world at our feet, and your children would be very well taken care of, same for your wife. My she is a beautiful thing isn\'t she?\" Riku now looking at them with all seriousness as he cocks an eyebrow and smirks a little.

\"What about Rikki?\" Tetsumi not very impressed with his Riku crosses his arms as he glares at his brother.

\"Oh him? well I\'m sure we could stick him somewhere.\" Riku now looking around the room and pretends to wipe off some invisible dust on his shoulder brings his gaze back to his brother and that fallen angel.

\"Riku-\" Tetsumi got interrupted by his brothers hand as he raised it in front of his face.

\"I don\'t want your answer now, give it to me tomorrow morning. \" Riku getting up motions to a big ugly demon. \"Show them to their rooms.\"

\"No we\'re going to stay with Ashieyu tonight.\" Tetsumi getting up off his chair turns to leave with Rikki. Riku smirking turns his back and laughs inwardly.

\"My brother thinks he can get away with her that easily he\'s got another thing coming.\"

Taking chairs Tetsumi and Rikki plop themselves down beside the sleeping Ashieyu and fall asleep but not before looking at their children again.

\"WWWAAAHHHHH!!!!\" Tetsumi shot upwards from his chair and took out his sword as he looked around the room to see Ashieyu and Rikki staring at him.

\"What are you doing?\" Rikki now holding Jiro looks at Tetsumi like he was insane.

\"I...I..heard, crying?\" Tetsumi now looking confused saw Akio in his mothers arms as she was calming him down, and singing to him. \"Oh.\" Tetsumi sheathing the sword back, sits on the bed and stroked Akio\'s hair as he heard him laugh. \"Can I?\" Ashieyu smiling at him handed him the Akio. Getting up Ashieyu walked to a small room in the back to get dressed, as Rikki helped her walk there. A few minutes later Rikki\'s head went to the door as he saw the door opening and Riku step inside the room. Ashieyu now coming out of the room looks to Riku.

\"Well, well aren\'t we a wonderful family.\" Riku now walking towards Ashieyu as she was now dressed \"And where is my little nephew?\" Riku looking to Tetsumi started to walk towards him, but Tetsumi back away holding the baby a little tighter. \"Now little brother is that anyway to treat me? I should be able to see him now shouldn\'t I?\" Riku looking to Ashieyu smirks and looks her up and down then his gazes fixes back to Tetsumi.

\"I don\'t care if your family. I DON\'T want you near my son!\" Tetsumi now glaring at him as he handed his boy to Rikki.

\"Tisk, tisk brother now who was the one to take care of them when you weren\'t here to see their birth? Was it not I?\" Riku smirking went to Rikki and stroked Akio\'s head.

\"Get away from him now Riku! This is the last time you will ever see him again and my wife, we\'re leaving now. I\'m not taking up your proposal!\" Tetsumi took out his sword as he saw his brothers face darken.

\"I knew you would say that little brother, and that why I have all my men guarding this place if you or the angel take a step out of this room my men will come., even if I call them they will come and take your little family away. See I had this plan all along, since I knew you wouldn\'t agree I stole your wife for persuasion so you would have to come and now that your child is born, well that just put the icing on the cake. I\'m taking your wife as my mate and both of your children as mine.\" Laughing Riku pulled out his sword as Rikki did the same.

\"Bastard!\" Tetsumi and Rikki now getting in a stance and ready to fight till the end to save their family.
