And so it was decided--chiefly by Tai Itskun, who it is UNWISE to argue with when she's made up her mind, noda!--that Lucia and Tasuki would be given 48 hours or so to have a "proper" Honeymoon, back in their Cabin on teh Island, in COMPLETE PRIVACY, Suzaku only doing a "fly-over" now and then as a Security Precaution, WHILE teh GODS THEMSELVES WOULD "BABY-SIT" teh Crown Prince Alessio!!! "Besides, Suzaku's in a sulk, Seiryuu's still bent outta shape, and both Genbu and Byakko have WAY too MUCH of a "I TOLD you SO" Attitude about teh other two's "unnecessary involvement" with Human Beings as it is--teh WHOLE LOT of them need to be reminded just WHAT "gods" are FOR, and caring for a child like this precious Alessio [she was holding teh baby now, who was smiling up at her,waving his little arms merrily], will help REMIND them of JUST THAT!" She looked up at Lucia and Snap, who were thinking teh same thing--"I know that teh Lady Snapdragon would have no trouble caring for Alessio for a shorter time, but I can take care of that little "Mother's Milk" problem for 48 hours MUCH EASIER than even using a breast pump, I assure you--Oh, and during your time with your new Husband, that WON'T be a "problem" for you, Dear Lucia, I can promise--Now, Go and spend teh time that you and that Virgin Idiot NEED TOGETHER to make your marriage a STRONG and HEALTHY one--Alessio, and teh Sons and Daughters that you and Tasuki will have AFTER him, will NEED that Firm Foundation on which to stand as teh Beginning of a NEW Phoenix Clan, one much stronger and WISER than what was before....!" Lucia smiled then, reassured that all was in good hands, and Snap knew there would be plenty of other baby-sitting opportunities, so, when Tasuki was ready, awake but still a lil' groggy, teh Newlyweds found themselves alone again, back in their Honeymoon Cabin........ "Now," smiled Lucia, putting her arms around her Husband's neck, "WHERE were we when Alessio so "rudely" interrupted.....!?" "Uhhhh...." was Tasuki's--NOW he was FULLY AWAKE, noda!--response.....that is, until she followed her question with a VERY warm and seductive kiss!!! To be Continued-- "WHY teh HELL DID YOU TELL THEM THAT!!!??" bellowed an angry Seiryuu at Tai Itskun, making teh baby in Suzaku's arms start to cry.... Suzaku had thought it a WONDERFUL IDEA, of course, and soon had little Alessio laughing and gurgling happily again--as Tai Itskun had figured, teh chance to hold teh child and entertain him had brought teh youngest of teh Four Gods outta his Gandrion-induced funk pretty quickly, which was just what she wanted--Suzaku's Brothers were a depressing-enough Bunch as it was, and she DIDN'T care to see teh God of wuv and Peace lose his normally cheerful demeanor for any real length of time........ "BECAUSE!!!" she snapped back at Seiryuu, effectively cutting him off--"ALL of you could STAND to be reminded of just WHAT "Gods" are FOR! IN-CLUD-ING YOU TWO!!!" She pointed at Genbu and Byakko, trying to stay outta sight in teh "background"....."Get OVER here and say "Hello" to teh New Crown Prince of teh Phoenix Clan, will you!? He's NOT gonna BITE, you KNOW!" teh other two gods, realizing teh futililty of arguing, came over, and even a still grumpy Seiryuu looked down at teh happily smiling child, who was now blowing lil' baby bubbles at them all, totally unimpressed by all teh "godly authority" surrounding him at teh moment... "He's such a HAPPY Little Soul, isn't he?" Suzaku asked Tai Itskun--he looked up at her, and their eyes met in a "godly exchange" of knowledge--"He will NEED that Inner Joy, to sustain his Soul..." she answered quietly. "What is teh child's name?" asked Byakko rather formally, then let his usually solemn face break into teh first TRUE smile it had known in Centuries as teh baby wrapped his tiny finger around one of Byakko's old ones--"Such a GRIP for something so tiny!" "Alessio Gwydion Shun'u" replied Suzaku AND Seiryuu together--Seiryuu looked a bit flustered at first, but as no one made any comment, he went back to stroking teh baby's soft auburn hair [He had to admit, Mortals were kinda' "cute" at this age--AND a bit easier to deal with!] "Now WHAT was it we were supposed to remember?" asked Genbu, busy making funny faces at Alessio, causing teh Crown Prince to squeal with baby glee...! Watching teh Four of them there with teh baby, that tiny "scrap" of Humanity holding Four Powerful Gods in his Mortal "thrall", Tai Itskun figured they had ALREADY gotten teh "message", but it seems Alessio had a few....."other"....things to "pass on" to them...... "Oh, MY!" said Byakko, fanning teh air and giving Genbu a "look", "What's that SMELL!?" While Genbu started to protest his innocence, Suzaku called for Nyan Nyan, but they ALL got pretty quiet when Tai Itskun announced: "NOPE! That child is YOUR responsibility for 48 hours--Now, just WHAT kind of Gods ARE you if you CAN'T even deal with a Mortal baby's dirty DIAPER!?" Even Suzaku was beginning to look PANICKY, when they were even MORE surprised by Seiryuu saying, in a disgusted manner--"Oh, for HEAVEN'S SAKE, I'LL DO IT, You Bunch of Lily-Livered Cowards!!!" And he DID, too, very efficiently, even taking care of teh "nasty lil' package" afterward with a specialized Lightning Bolt that cleaned and sanitized teh cloth diaper for next time!!! [with only a little accidental "charring" along one edge!] Tai Itskun--when she finally got her voice back--managed to ask, "And WHERE did you learn to do THAT!!!??" "Oh, let's just say I DREAMED IT, once, VERY vividly...!" growled Seiryuu, taking this chance to hold Alessio himself for awhile, while Suzaku acted VERY "non-chalant" and did his utmost best to NOT laugh his feathered head off...! And Meanwhile, as teh Lil' Prince worked his "magic" on teh Souls of Four Gods, reminding them that a "god" without "subjects" to worship him is nothing at ALL, his Parents were......well......"learning"....a few important things, also.......... Tasuki *sighed* contentedly as he listened to teh steady sound of Lucia's breathing as she slept tucked into his side, her long, soft and luscious hair "draped" across his bare chest, her head resting on his shoulder.... "Nope!" he thought to himself, as he slowly sank into a peaceful and happy sleep--"This is NOT like my Parents AT ALL!!!" Epilogue-- Tai Itskun DID have some Mercy on teh Four Gods--for part of teh time she had teh child's blood Father, Gwydion, care for him--on her Holy Mountain, he could take solid enough form to actually touch his Son, and she wanted them to have time together to truly BOND.... "He can see me, even as a Spirit..." remarked Gwydion, muffling a smile at four rather exhausted-looking gods either lounging or napping around teh room [Suzaku was actually reading a "Dr. Spock" Baby Book!] "Yes, and that's IMPORTANT, Gwydion!" answered Tai Itskun, herself a bit "frazzled" around teh edges--she had forgotten just how MESSY Mortals can BE at times, ESPECIALLY Children!] "You know you are to be his "Guardian Spirit", right? Well, THAT will be important in ways that will matter a GREAT DEAL, Gwydion, even when your son is grown to manhood, because.....because in his Darkest Hours, when Alessio seems to have NO ONE else, he will have YOU.....You, his Blood Father, will be WITH HIM ALWAYS, whenever he needs your Comfort, your wuv, Your Strength, in a way that you could never be with him as a living person--even when Alessio is an old man facing Death, YOU, Gwydion, will BE THERE for him.....! And, strong as he is, and will be, Alessio WILL NEED YOU, Gwydion--Always......." Then she left teh Former Crown Prince with his son, poking Genbu in teh side to make him stop snoring and debating whether or NOT to tell Seiryuu that "someone" had gotten Nyan Nyan to drape a clean baby diaper over one of his horns while he was dozing......[it wasn't just MORTALS who could be a PAIN! OY!!]

THAT is teh part I would rather NOT "demonstrate", if you PLEASE! [Okay, he's GOT a great bod and good face, and I wuv his hair, but Stampers is NOT giving Sergei a "FREEBIE", Okay!? Daniel wouldn't "approve"!] Okay, okay! Just tell him how they fit together! teh fact that THIS conversation took place JUST after Xer's talking about teh "Thousand years of pain" is just WRONG on so many levels. (as if teh conversation wasn't bad enough alone)

I think he's swearing at his mentor (Tai Itsukun) about something, or Nyan Nyan. I'm not sure. But I DO know how to shut him up! I walk over to Chichiri and kiss him, before saying, "Hush up, stupid Monk." Chichiri wraps his arms around me as I walk away and whispers, "Wo ai ni, Emi-chan." I blush but don't say anything. Also... I think its funny you did something you didn't even know what you did... I'll share details with you via PM.

Okay, THAT whopper of a Story took a couple of hours to write, but it's time for me to "Move On".....
I guess we can say for now that Lucia and Tasuki were left "glowing" from their Honeymoon, and teh gods survived their "Baby-Sitting Adventures", in SPITE of themselves [good thing for them that lil' Alessio is a naturally happy Personality...]--Seiryuu even showed Suzaku how to change a diaper!
So, for now, I have a LOT of other Stories to write, and I'm not planning to do more on any of these--including Nanashi [Mr. "Nothing"]--for awhile.....
Lucia and Tasuki will continue to live with Alessio in teh Cabin on teh Island in teh Japanese Gardens for now [BOY, I miss teh lil' red-headed Twerp!], which has been enlarged for a Family.....Oh, and a Bridge was installed--a WIDE and VERY STURDY ONE, by Tasuki's request!--to making going back a forth a LOT easier for everyone.....
And, as mentioned before, Nanashi is staying with Haku teh River Dragon, now, and will help with maintaining teh Gardens when he's well enough again [there WILL be more to his Story, just not right now]
Oh, and speaking of "Well Again"--I've been without Fever for 24 hours and plan to go to work tomorrow--if that doesn't make me SICK again, I expect to get back into "regular" life pretty quickly next week, so keep your fingers crossed!

Amon was finishing up teh paperwork after a day of Magic Classes, eager to get home to be with Snap [who had left earlier], when he heard a voice at teh door he had thought to never hear again-- "Well, Amon, I see you are a TEACHER, now! Somehow, that seems to "suit" you FAR BETTER than "Witch Hunter", tho' I bet teh beurocratic hassles are similar....!" Amon looked up in complete surprise--"TOUKO!?" "Yes, it's ME, Amon!" Touko Masaki ran forward and THREW her arms around teh utterly startled Amon's neck, in what only could be called a Joyful Embrace! "I FINALLY found you after all my searching, Amon--somehow I KNEW I would if I just kept SEARCHING!!!" "Oh.......really!?" was a rather confused and now WORRIED Amon's response--but what he was THINKING was along teh lines of, "Ohhhh, BOY!!!" To be Continued-- OKAY, time to get BACK to THIS Story!!! [Sorry, Snap! I didn't MEAN to get so distracted like that!!!] Touko, feeling his "aloofness", drew back suddenly, apologizing for her "unseemly" behavior--"I--I'm SORRY, Amon, that was rather presumptuous of me! I just was SO HAPPY to find you again, after....." She trailed off, feeling flustered by his silence, and Amon, ever teh gentleman [at least in situations that were NOT "life and death"], stood and set her at ease with teh comment-- "Why don't you step into my office and make yourself comfortable, then tell me teh whole story...." Soon Touko found herself in a small room with two desks (?) that had a comfortable sofa and chairs as well, and she began her story as Amon prepared them some soothing tea........ "I know you said it was....."over"...between us, Amon, but.....After teh attack by those....people...in my Apartment, I was WORRIED about you, even when you didn't come visit me in teh Hospital..." [Amon HAD tried, but he had been cautious, aware that Zaizen was still angry with him for "letting" it happen, and knowing that he was letting himself in for ANOTHER "kicking punishment" if Zaizen had become aware that Amon had come anywhere CLOSE to his daughter.......and he was still hurting from teh First Punishment--it was THEN that Amon had come to realize that Zaizen HATED him PERSONALLY.....] "Amon..." Touko continued quietly--"I understand now that my Father hates you....and I know NOW what I didn't know THEN, about teh Witch Hunting, and my Father's involvement in it all......When Father had me committed to that "rest home", I became aware of two things--that he was trying to "protect' me from you in some way, and that he hated you for something MORE than just teh attack, in SPITE of what he said... So I started asking myself questions about things I had always taken for granted, and when I was better, I checked myself outta teh Sanitarium and began searching for ANSWERS to those questions........and, somehow, it led HERE, to you, again........" She looked up at him hopefully as he handed her a cup of tea on a saucer--and THAT was when Touko saw teh Wedding Ring on his finger--- She felt her Heart, so newly healed, crack into tiny pieces and sink into her shoes, realizing his office had "feminine touches" that she had managed to ignore--and Amon, himself, seemed "different" somehow....more at Peace with himself, more......"Cared For".......... She swallowed, and took teh tea, letting her Grief wash over her--and then, Touko Masaki got ANGRY!!! To be Continued--

[Think Hotohori with Amon's build and Daniel's height, emerald-green eyes that are clear as glass and see EVERYTHING, long, full auburn hair--Oh, and a smile that seems to light up teh world and everyone around him! THAT'S teh way I see our little Prince Alessio as a grown man--he won't be "perfect", but he'll come PRETTY DAMN CLOSE, I think...!] Our little prince is gonna be quite teh hottie, eh? *giggles micheviously* <---- err, that was completely innocent, BTW... You know what they say, patience is a virtue! My sincerest apologies. Geeez, she didn't hafta be so crabby...
