Two weeks passed since Sora and Nicole came back. Shizuka could smell the scent lingering on the both of them, and had pestered Sora to no end about it. The blue-haired pure-blood merely tried to ignore the girl, however; his face had sported a color very similar to Shizuka's hair. It was, in a way, cute. During those two weeks, Shizuka had tried to avoid Hikaru as well. He had found something about her that she didn't want anyone to know about, and he took full advantage of that. She wasn't a happy camper about it, however; so far, the last few days, she had been able to avoid the male. Satisfied, she let out a huff with a nod of her head, and traveled down the hallway of the Academy.
It was the weekend and a majority of the students had left to the city. Shizuka had stayed behind, hoping that Hikaru had been one of the few students to leave. Of course, knowing her luck, Hikaru would have remained. She sighed heavily, slumping her shoulders in the process. Shaking her head, she rounded one of the corners and immediately, her eyes widened. She twisted so that she could avoid the on-coming body so that they wouldn't collide. Once she regained her balance, she turned to glare at the person responsible, however; her eyes readjusted once she noticed it was only Nicole. She took a deep breath, tilting her head slightly in confusion.
"You...smell weird?" Shizuka started, closing the distance between the two of them and smelled along Nicole's neck, and down to her collar bone. She took in deep inhales before something clicked. She placed a hand over her mouth, trying to keep a straight face but had failed. "You might want to make sure you are getting enough blood. You'll be eating for three, and that includes yourself," Shizuka stated, crossing her arms over her chest with a smirk tugging at her lips.
Nicole had, indeed, returned to Cross with Sora and her mother, their living situation being much the same as it had when she left. Her mother was housed in Nicole's old room, and she herself was with Sora. Nicole was well aware of Shizuka's teasing of Sora, as the male had in turn whined to Nicole about it. Nicole had merely smiled and told him to deal with it.
At the moment, Nicole found herself halting in the middle of the hallway as Shizuka rounded the corner and almost bowled her over. Nicole quirked an eyebrow when Shizuka said something about her smelling weird, and opened her mouth but was cut off as she continued. A look of utter confusion crossed her face as the other girl smelled her, and was finally able to find her words. "Did you seriously just smell me? And telling someone they smell weird is not a very good con...ver..." Her words slowed down as her brows furrowed, something clicking. Eating for three...?
Her eyes flew open and she practically shouted, "What?!"
Shizuka tried her hardest not to snicker at Nicole. The girl's eyes nearly flew out of her head, and Shizuka was enjoying it. She removed her arms from her chest and popped her hip out, placing one of her free hands onto her hip in the process. Her smirk grew into a wide grin as she continued to stare at Nicole. She could smell the other scents, and not just Sora's, mixing with Nicole's own scent. Judging from it, she would be having two, not just one. That confused Shizuka a bit. Vampires, they couldn't have twins. Perhaps later on in her pregnancy, assuming she is keeping them, they will turn on each other in the womb. It's how it was and will be.
"Well, I am not sure how soon Sora and yourself wanted little ones, however; you will be having two pairs of feet running around, assuming they don't consume each other in your womb," she replied. Shizuka chuckled lightly. What would Sora think when he found out? Oh how she wanted to see his face.
Nicole crossed an arm over her midsection, her look of surprise fizzling down to one of wonder. Considering what had happened two weeks ago, she shouldn't be overly surprised. It also dawned on her that something else now made sense. A slight smile crossed her face, and she chuckled softly, shaking her head. More than likely, they would end up with one, twins were non-existent in the vampiric community, but it was also not that common that both children would be lost. Still, that too, was a possibility.
She sighed softly. "As if one wasn't going to be enough trouble, now there will be at least two and at max three running around, four months apart. Oh dear...I didn't realize Cross had turned into a daycare." Her eyes grew light with amusement. It would be rather interesting to see how Sora took the news, and if the look on Shizuka's face was any indication, she was thinking the same thing.
"I'm sure they have a day care as part of the facility. Though I'm not sure it's equipped for vampire offspring," Shizuka stated nonchalantly before it clicked that Nicole wasn't being serious. She scoffed slightly before scratching the side of her cheek. "Congratulations though," she stated, a smile littering her face in the process. Nicole was going to be a mother herself and a part of Shizuka's heart clenched. She had wanted offspring of her own, however; that was no longer an option for her. The only person she ever wanted them with was now dead. She wouldn't want them with any other, however; her face pulled back into a frown.
Why did it feel like she was lying to herself about that? She shook her head violently before she felt her cheeks flare up. She glanced at Nicole and pushed her buttom lip out a bit. "You should go tell Sora," she muttered. Turning away from Nicole and walking in the other direction. She needed to clear her mind right now. As much as she would love to see Sora's reaction, her mind was filling with certain thoughts that she did not need to be thinking about right now.
