86 A name

In another room on Defying.

Robin, Nojiko, Hancock, Perona and Shirahoshi were sitting around a table. Nojiko kept staring at Shirahoshi with a worried gaze, whereas Perona, Hancock and Robin tried to think deeply of something.

Shirahoshi kept her head lowered, her face was slightly pale. She felt weak and slightly sick, she didn't know why she was feeling like this as she had never been sick before in her life.

"Little sister Shirahoshi…" Nojiko couldn't help but to worry about Shirahoshi, she could remember how pale looking Shirahoshi was when they met in the hall earlier. In a fit of urgency, Nojiko called for Robin, Perona and Hancock.

"Lil sis Shira…" Hancock was thinking of something before her face went slightly pale too. "Answer me this, did you do it on a safe day with Izan?"

Everyone turned their gazes towards Hancock. Robin felt like something made sense and hurriedly turned her gaze towards Shirahoshi, whereas Nojiko and Perona slowly understood what Hancock meant and also turned their gazed at Shirahoshi.

Shirahoshi didn't quite understand, she tilted her head slightly as she asked in a weak voice. "What is a safe day…?"

"Wait here." Hancock stood up from her chair and ran out the room, she used lots of strength in her legs and hurriedly ran towards the deck. She could sense that both Jiutian and Izan were there with her Observation Haki.

It didn't take long before Hancock was out on the deck, she could see that Izan was resting on Jiutian's body while both of them were standing. She silently walked towards Jiutian who had turned her head and gazed back at her.

Hancock whispered in a low voice. "Shirahoshi is feeling sick. And, she doesn't know what a safe day is. I hope you can check her body and check if she is pregnant or not…" Hancock couldn't help but to feel the urgency in this matter.

The only reason Hancock and the others weren't pregnant yet was because they had only been together with Izan on their safe days. They couldn't think of being pregnant and having a baby while they knew that how hard and troublesome the future would be before they arrived in the Real Universe.

Jiutian narrowed her eyes slightly, she turned towards one of the rooms and closed her eyes. She was able to perceive anything and could see through everything. This time, Jiutian had to focus deeply on one person and deep within her. It took Jiutian well over two minutes before she opened her eyes and gazed at Hancock in front of her. "She is pregnant… Tell Shirahoshi about everything she needs to know. When Shirahoshi is ready, let her personally tell Izan that she will be having his firstborn."

Hancock couldn't help but be shocked, it was only her first thought that Shirahoshi might be pregnant, but hearing it from Jiutian was shocking. Hancock couldn't help but to turn around and walk silently away, she was feeling a little bit of jealous, but Hancock wouldn't show it that easily.

After Hancock left, Jiutian turned her gaze towards Izan. Jiutian let out a small sigh as she began stroking Izan's back.

Hancock left the deck while being deeply engrossed in her thoughts, before she even noticed she had arrived in front of the room where her sisters were at. Hancock gulped and sighed before she reached out towards the knob and pushed the door open.

The first thing Hancock saw was the multiple gazes, she closed the door without making a noise and turned towards Shirahoshi. "You are pregnant…" Hancock didn't know how to say it otherwise, she could clearly see the different expressions of everyone.

Robin was shocked and her eyebrows were raised, Perona was flabbergasted and her facial expression froze completely, Nojiko's expression was changing of envy and happiness. It took a while before Shirahoshi made a expression too, from her being curious and to her being happy.

"Does this mean that I and Izan will be a family!?" Shirahoshi's thoughts were simple, she didn't know much about pregnancy or about having a child, but she knew that if she was pregnant with Izan's child, then it would mean that they would become a large and happy family.

Nojiko shook her head swiftly. "No, that doesn't make a family." Before Shirahoshi could speak Nojiko continued from where she stopped. "We are a family from the beginning. We are already a family, us as his wives and he as our husband. Because from the moment we gave our hearts to Izan was the moment he saw us as someone important for him, as his family forever."

Shirahoshi couldn't help but to laugh in a weak voice. "I am happy…!" A blush appeared on Shirahoshi's face as she kept fidgeting around in her chair.

"Cough cough." Robin faked two coughs as she managed to gather everyone's attention. "Now before we continue anything, we must share our knowledge to Shirahoshi about pregnancy, a baby and everything that is linked to it…"

"I agree." Nojiko nodded in agreement as she turned towards the others who also kept nodding. Neither one of them would let Shirahoshi stray out in the future without letting her have the knowledge needed.

Right at this moment a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the deck. With the appearance of the figure, a shocking and heavy pressure pushed down everything to the floor.

Nojiko and Robin held Shirahoshi from falling down on the floor, Perona and Hancock turned towards where the pressure came from with a shocked expression. Neither any of them had felt something this strong before, just being there was harsh for them as they could barely breathe normally.

On the deck, Jiutian stared towards the figure and Izan woke up from his short sleep. Jiutian did also feel the heavy pressure, but the only one who didn't feel it was Izan. Izan felt more of a sensation of something that wanted to be with him.

"Finally…" Izan didn't know why, but that was what he felt, that something after so long had managed to arrive.

The figure on the deck was shining brightly, Izan and Jiutian could see through the light and see a small body with two arms and two legs. The pressure the figure was giving off became even stronger as it seemed to even destroy parts of Defying, cracks appeared on the red wood and seemingly evaporating into nothing.

"…" Jiutian's expression hardened before she flickered her wrist which made the pressure vanish. "Enough…!" Jiutian's voice wasn't warm nor cold, it was pure indifference, Jiutian's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, the strength she had to use to suppress the pressure was enormous.

"…!" The figure seemed to glare at Jiutian before the figure raised both arms high up, the pressure it was giving off came back and the light around it seemed to blind everything beside Izan.

Izan could see that the figure seemingly become solid, white pale skin, a black gothic dress, blood red hair which reached down to the ankles and a face which was indifferent to everything happening around it.

Izan saw the beautiful young girl in front of him, the figure glanced shortly at Jiutian before she stared at Izan. Her indifferent expression vanished as a joyful smile replaced it.

The pressure the young girl gave off vanished too.

Before Jiutian could say anything, the door opened behind them and the ones that arrived were Nojiko, Hancock, Perona, Shirahoshi and Robin. All five females stared at the young girl with blood red hair and black gothic clothing.

The young girl opened her eyes, they were jet-black, it didn't take long before her tiny lips parted from each other and a heavenly sound echoed throughout the entire ship. "I have finally chosen this appearance to keep for the rest of my life." The young girl gazed at Izan before she continued. "Master…! I give you this oath, from this moment of, my life is yours to handle, I will do anything and everything you wish of me… I will do this because you are the one who gave me the name, Defying…!"

Defying's gaze was kept on Izan's jet-black eyes, both of them had slightly indifferent expressions with a small smile on their faces, perfectly matching each other's.
