" Now now, gather around my young children. Gather around. "

The old frail looking man beckoned the people of his village to join him around the campfire. His dry, cracked lips smacked against each other roughly a few times as his weary pale blue eyes looked around at the bright cheerful faces. He couldn't help but smile. The sage took his time to use his wrinkled, gnarled hand to push his faded red locks back into place behind his slight pointed ears, before his soothing voice fell over the crowd again. All talking ceased as he spoke.

" Now this is a story... About our great ancestors... Or one in particular. " he wet his lips and moved closer to the fire, revealing more of his sagging, tired face. The fire crackled, popping as it flared up slightly, showing the many anticipating faces around him, their bright eyes a glow.

" With out him none of us would be here today... That is a fact. For he faced the greatest evil of all... And saved the future in which we all obtain. But in order to fully understand this story... We must go... Way way back... To the times of separate of races... And the midst of one of the greatest kingdoms of all..."

.~.~.~.~.

Nijimura walked down his halls with a slight bounce in his step as he hummed a gentle tune of pleasure. He was the king. Why couldn't he? The young, jewel adorned king traveled through his castle to a open balcony in which he over looked his vast empire. His grey eyes looked out over the golden rolling hills of wheat and the brown, bustling villages below.

The kingdom of Teiko felt no pain, experienced no suffering, and never saw war. It was embraced by peace and blessings. The people radiated joy and kindness to one another with every word and smile. Laughter was never absent. This place, of endless rays of sun, of peace and leisure, was his. All of it. A soft smile played onto his face as he felt gentle arms of his first wife go to his arms. The raven haired king looked down at the golden beauty and kissed her head gently, smoothing down her rich curls.

" How fairs our child..."

He looks up, concern in his eyes. Child birth, even here in this land of blessings was still a difficult feat to pass. She smiles gently and her perfectly olive hands cup his sharp jaw. Hyori Nijimura. The gorgeous golden maiden of the west. Her lips were perfectly pink and plump, her skin smooth and toned by the endless hours of sun. Her silky golden locks curled at her hips and bright yellow orbs, brighter than the sun most said, stared up at him with excitement and love.

" They fair well my lord... they are due very very soon. Worry Not. "

Hyori happily looks down and rests a gentle hand on her stomach. Nijimura smiles and nuzzles her nose gently, before giving her yet another kiss on the cheek. A sudden shiver ran down his spine, and a unease clouded his head. Concern could only immediately flash in her eyes, noticing his sudden tensing. Her lips parted softly to question him, but he shook his head waving it off before she could speak, he sent her to rest in her chambers.

He shivered again gently, leaning against the marble banister of the balcony heavily. Ever since he'd married his eight wives he'd felt much unease. Sighing gently, Nijimura turned and headed back inside, collectively thinking as he walked. All of his wives were expecting it seemed. All except his two youngest wives. Tetsuna Nijimura and Kimi Nijimura, the beautiful teal and red hair maidens from the southern and central villages. But then again, he'd only wed to them a few months ago unlike he other six wives... Shaking his head he made his way to the study, were he found his other wives, doing what maidens do. Read books on great knights tales, sew new dresses, played the harp, and talked about the up coming ball. All of them looked over, smiling at him when he entered.

" Shūzō..."

Of course it was none other then Kimi who called him by his first name in the presence of others. All of them knew he was in unease of something. They could feel it. The red haired maiden bit her lip gently and sighed, standing up and going over to him, her fingers lacing gently with his.

" we are all worried about you Shūzō... You must tell us what's wrong..."

Nijimura couldn't help but let out a stressed and lengthy breath. Despite his inner turmoil, he kept a calm and collected structure and sat down, letting Kimi sit beside him. The others soon sat around him quickly, giving sympathetic touches and concerned glances... Well... All except for one of his maidens. The silver maiden of the eastern cave village... Asami Nijimura. Unlike the other maidens she was rather dull, hot tempered, and war ready. She liked war and fighting. She cared not for peace and not for her maiden sisters. Even to Nijimura she paid no mind to unless she wanted to take him to her bed. She was barely showing signs of her pregnancy. Her short silver hair hid most of her face from the rest of the group as her sickly pale hands turned the next page of her book of the dark ages. Her unsettling grey eyes didn't help her either. They were always dark and cold, with a look that made you want to make sure you double check who was behind you at all times. Knowing she wouldn't join them he began to speak.

" It's the other kingdoms... It seems they've formed a alliance to attack Teiko... They have already attacked a few of the villages along the borders..."

There was a small collected gasp from the girls, who immediately started whispering. Tetsuna swallows gently and looks at her petite Snow White hands. She was the smallest of the maidens, her skin a perfect smooth, fair tone and her cerulean eyes big as moon stones. Her long lashes stood out on her pale complexion as she slowly raised her voice, his mid waist teal locks swaying as her hand moved.

" does this mean..."

" I'm afraid so..."

Everyone looked down in despair. This meant there was to be a war... The kingdoms were challenging them and destroying their land... Lives would be lost and the peace disrupted. Asami smirked slightly as she closed her book with a gentle snap. A war. Unlike others this was something she absolutely desired. She loved blood and violence, the thought of battle and destruction excited her. And plus... This was all of her true loves work. Her face slowly went into one of compassion, and she went over joining the rest. Her pale lips kissed Nijimura's tan fore head gently, before she ran a slender, slightly boney hand through his thick raven locks.

" There must be another way besides war... " The other maidens gave nervous glances to one another. This was not the Asami they knew. Not at all.

" What if you could come to a agreement with them... Maybe a peace offering of some sort..."

Nijimura, unknowing of his wife's true ways, having thought she was just anti-social, smiled and took her hand kissing it lovingly. " That is a amazing idea... We shall do that... "

Standing with a new found courage and hope, Nijimura left his wives and set out to find a solution to his problems. Asami immediately grew a smug expression and turned away, going to the window. This would help her plan perfectly. Just perfectly. Tetsuna eyed the silver maiden uneasily and looked down at her petite hands once more. She already knew that this was a good idea... But the air that Asami gave off... It wasn't good. Slowly she got up, and headed out going to see Hyori... The one maiden she always talked to.

As she walked her white and blue sheer dress flowed gently behind her, giving her more of a elegance. Tetsuna couldn't help but feel more than one trouble. Even though she had only been married a couple months, she still hadn't shown signs of producing a heir... Unlike all of the other women. Even Kimi, who still didn't seem pregnant, was about to show signs. She puts a hand on her stomach and bites her lip. A muscular arm went around her shoulders and she looked up shyly at the dark skinned woman. Kagome Nijimura. The dark blue haired maiden of the northeast desert tribes. Her coco toned skin was a huge contrast to the smaller pale maiden. They were complete opposites. Kagome smiled brightly and patted her head.

" I'm coming with you Tetsunnie~"

" Kagome-chan..."

The smaller maiden smiles and studies her. Kagome too was far along in her pregnancy... She was predicted to have her child fourth... The dark skinned maiden felt a sad smile fall on her face.

" It's ok Tetsuna... Even if you don't bare a child now doesn't mean you won't in the future... "

Tetsuna stays quiet and nods gently, holding hands with her gently. Kagome was her best friend, how could she not say that. Together they made there way down to Hyori's chamber and stayed with her for the night.

.~.~.~.~.

The next few months went by in a blur due to all of the born babies. Hyori gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy who was named Ryouta. He looked just like his mother in every shape and form, except for his lighter and milky skin, and even seemed to have gotten her hyper bubbly personality. Kikio the green haired maiden of the south west gave birth to a healthy baby boy as well, who was named Shintaro. Gou, the maroon haired maiden of the east north, gave birth to a big baby boy named Taiga. Even Tetsuna's best friend gave birth to yet another boy named Daiki.

Tetsuna couldn't help but feel useless and insecure. She still showed no signs of a growing stomach. Through doctors checks she'd gained weight, but they said it was not baby weight, for there was too much of it to be baby weight. She'd grown a bigger appetite, but they said it was probably depression. And it had only grown worse when the purple maiden of the south west gave birth to her baby boy, Atsushi. The teal haired maiden sat on a chair in the hall, thinking, when she saw Asami walk by with her new born son. The silver haired maiden gave a fake sympathetic look and offered for the younger maiden to hold her baby. Tetsuna smiled weakly and took the grey haired child into he arms. Even Asami had had her baby. Little Shogo...

" It's okay Tetsuna. Maybe it's for the better... Even if you had a baby, they'd be one of the youngest and never have a chance. Just like you. "

Tetsuna's eyes widened in shock, and she looked up, tears forming in her eyes. A smirk rose on the silver haired woman's cheeks and she took her baby back, walking down the hall with victory. A choked sob formed in her throat. What was she supposed to do? She wanted to be a good wife... She wanted her own child. Her hurt her so deeply. Kimi walked by, and looked at her younger company, startled. They'd never seen Tetsuna cry. Sure she was frail, shy, and sweeter than honey... But she'd never let them see her bad emotions. Kimi slowly joined her on the large chair, holding her gently. Kimi was deeply pregnant... Her stomach was large and even bruised with how much her child kicked. She strokes Tetsuna's hair gently.

" Shhh... Your ok... Your ok..."

" It's not ok...! It's not!"

Kimi sighed and listened to the younger's sobs, comforting her. It was hard. Tetsuna was slowly being left behind. Nijimura had gone to the front lines, hoping to resolve the problem with other kings. All of them women had been so busy with their babies that Tetsuna had been slowly turned away from. Even Kimi knew that once she had her baby that might be the last straw for poor Tetsuna. Her lips part to say something when the blue haired girl jolted.

" What... Was that...?" Tetsuna sits up a bit and touches her stomach. Kimi's eyes widen and she quickly puts a hand on her sister maiden's stomach, suddenly feeling another kick. Shock ran through her and her red eyes widened with joy. Tetsuna looked at her confused.

" Tetsuna... I think your pregnant!"

Joy spread through her and Tetsuna laughed happily, looking down at her stomach. Though it didn't show... She was pregnant... Soon the news spread through out the palace and everyone was happy... Everyone... Except for one...

«_._._._._._»

Tetsuna watched as Kimi left with her one month old child, cooing and giggling down at her little boy. The teal maiden smiled and looked down at the pond below her, studying her reflection. She still felt happiness and joy of her pregnancy. And she couldn't wait. She touched her slightly curved stomach and breathed out.

" If you are a boy I shall name you Chihiro... If you are a girl May. "

She sits down and breathes in the evening air, then gazes up at the stars. It was nice to be alone to ones thoughts on such a beautiful night such as this. Tetsuna smiles gently and closes her eyes. She dozed off for only a bit before hearing the noise of scraping metal. Her eyes opened with a snap and she was face to face with Asami, who held a dagger. She scrambled to her feet quickly and panicked a bit.

" Asami... What are you-"

" Shut up. " she grabbed her by her hair and slammed her against a tree, causing Tetsuna's world to blur. The blue hair maiden gasped in pain and whimpered as she felt the knife cut across her stomach. Her stomach. Her eyes widened in horror and she screamed.

" No! please! Oh gods please don't!"

Asami slapped her and growled dangerously. Cutting deeper into her stomach and using her hands to grab something. Tetsuna could on sob in pain, knowing that she would die, and that her baby was being taken from her.

" I'm sorry, but I'm taking him. There's a prophecy about him you know. "

She held a deep silver haired baby in her arms, both of them coated with blood. Tetsuna slowly sat up, feeling her organs spill out of her stomach and blood gush onto her. Her baby... A boy... Tears fell down her blood speckled face, and she sobbed.

" Please... Don't take Chihiro... Please-e!"

Asami only smirked and stood up, wrapping the now wailing baby up on a cloth. She bounced it a bit and then looked over at a new figure, a cloaked figure. Handing the baby to him, he vanished, baby and all. Tetsuna looked up at her, her eyes asking how she could do this to her. Asami grinned and squatted down next to her.

" you see, I want my own empire. One huge empire. And my true love and I and can't have that as long as your baby is raised by you. Or by any good person that is. So he's mine now. "

Tetsuna grit her teeth, her pale hands weakly grabbing the dagger off the floor. Asami continued talking, too wrapped up in her moment of glory to notice.

" you see, Shogo and Chihiro will be my sons. I will raise them to be the most powerful rulers of all. They will be the start of a new era. And my love, the dark sage... Will kill all of the other stupid people of this world who don't obey him. "

Tetsuna grit her teeth and screamed out, stabbed Asami. The silver haired maidens eyes widened, looking down at the blossoming red flower over her heart. How? Tetsuna couldn't even hurt a bug... She refused to think violently... Or anything. Asami slowly fell to her side and felt her world slip away. Tetsuna grabbed onto the bench she had been on and stood, only to her a sickening plop. Looking down her eyes widened. Another baby... She hurriedly scooped him up despite the pain and fell onto the bench, her blood painting the wood a new horrifying color. She cried and looked at the silent squirming child. That's why the sages had said she had gained too much weight to be baby weight... Because it had been two babies... She cuddles the very small baby and kisses his head. He didn't cry, but stared at her with big cerulean eyes, watching her calmly. Her whole body stiffened hearing new footsteps approach and a terrified gasp.

" My lady!" It was one of the gardeners... Yui Kuroko... A petite woman who had just lost her husband in the village attacks. Tetsuna looks at her before frantically crying.

" you need to take my son and run. Get him as far away as you can from here... He isn't safe here... He isn't safe at all. "

Yui looks at her startled, and slowly takes him, looking at the bloody baby in shock. How could this be happening... The maiden... How. Tetsuna. Chokes a bit and starts closing her eyes, her body growing limp.

" please... You must... Take care of my little Tetsuya..."
