The universe was buzzing with excitement. In a few moments every I.P.S. (Inter Planetary Screen) would be watching Earth's Prime Minister during the greatest crisis in his life to date.

During the middle of his meeting with Saturn to discuss the Saturn/Earth Peace Policy, his wife went into labor. The child would become the 'Pure One' and inherit the title of ruler and all the burdens that went with it.

If it was a boy, he would become Prime Minister at 18, while if it was a girl, she would be married at 17 or older and her husband would rule. (A/N: I know, women need more rights than that but at least they got to pick their husband. good enough?)

This was such a big deal was because 1) the child would be a monk or a miko because Namori (the queen lady-thing) was a miko and 2) Earth was peaceful thus far but the child might have to lead them into a third intergalactic war and possibly their death.

All eyes and hope were now resting on an unborn child and the Light Forest. In the Light Forest, life plants were grown and one would bloom today as the 'Pure One'. The life plant of any of the royal family was a sight that many would die to see for their majestic beauty.

The plant shares the same lifespan as a human and endures the hardships of human emotion as well. Once the human reaches 12 years of age, their plant is placed in the Forest of Light. There, it will grow and continue with an even stronger bond with its human. When the human dies, the plant withers. If the plant is squished then the human must endure the same excruciating pain that their plant would feel. Weather has no effect on the plants with the exception of fire. If the life plant of the child is too weak, it will die. (A/N: I had to explain that so that you can get the other chapters.)

The Prime Minister paced across the now worn carpet. In his mind, he was picturing the million things that could go wrong. The child's future nanny, Kaede, watched him calmly as his brows furrowed in worry.

"172, I don't think that I can go through with this. What is the possibility of me escaping the universe in one piece?" he asked the elderly lady.

"Donotou, we are alone. You can call me by my name and not be ashamed. And Namori will know what to do if there is a problem." Kaede replied.

Just before he could answer, a nurse came in carrying a crying bundle wrapped in a soft, green blanket. She was everything but smiling and soon the Prime Minister saw the problem with his 'bouncing bundle of joy.'

The only words that escaped him were: "Why, why did it have to happen to me?"

"What do you mean that I, Yuki Yamashinu, am not allowed inside?!?"

The security guard glanced broadly at the astonished young newscaster. "Look miss, nobody, especially the press, is allowed past this point. This is a hospital and we must insure the safety of our patients."

"I am from the E.A. News, and I demand entrance. The public has a right to know what flaw could ruin their future." Yuki demanded as she tried fruitlessly to gain access to the cherry wood door.

The guard stood up as tall as he could as if trying to enforce the fact that he was two feet taller than her and then said in a dull tone, "222, I demand that you stay at least 10 meters away from the building or I will be forced to restrain you for contempt. Do I make myself clear?"

The newscaster bit back her pride and stalked away from the door. 'The nerve of that man. And he had the audacity to call me by my number. I am higher than him and should be referred to as Yuki. I will just have to improvise. We will see who is better then.'

The newscaster was pulled out of her dark thoughts by her cameraman's motions. He silently counted down. 5. 4. 3. 2. *point*

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is Yuki Yamashinu, 222, with breaking news. Inside this building behind me is where the 'Pure One' is being kept from the public eye. Talk of a problem with the child has spread. Could something of happened to our hope? Some believe that Saturn was plotting something and wishes to destroy the child. More when we return," she said with her smile glowing into the camera.

The Prime Minister was pacing around at a frantic pace while trying to figure out what he should do. Kaede would have chuckled had the situation not been so serious.

'If he keeps pacing like that I will have to find a rope to get him out of the hole.'

"I can't deal with this. What will I do? I need an aspirin. Why me? Why now?" The Prime Minister muttered.

Namori walked into the room and smiled at her husband. "Jin, lets just take this one day at a time. This obstacle is no different than the others that we have faced. It will all work out in the end," she said in a soothing voice.

Then, she picked up the bundle and headed for the door. The world needed to know.

The crowd outside gossiped more than before as they grew impatient. All of their conversations circled around the 'Pure One'. They all, however, stopped abruptly when they heard the door click open.

Out marched Namori while holding in her arms, the Prime Mini (PURE CHILDREN).

Finally, the crowd noticed and someone yelled out the obvious. "It's twins!"

The crowd grew silent again, but this time it was different. They all knew what was to happen. There can only be one ruler, one of the twins would be executed when the other got married.

Namori broke the silence. "Their names will be Kikyou, 147, and Kagome, 272."

"Kikyou and Kagome." The Prime Minister repeated softly. "My daughters"
