Chapter 49 - So we are going home now right..? Right? (1/2)

”That's a bit of a problem.” Holding her hands Kai wanted Pakura to relax a little first. ”First I need you to apply the chakra seals on yourself first. I could do it myself, however, it is better if you do it.”

”Fine then! As long as we get to go see the children.” As Pakura started placing the seals on herself she noticed a change. Her face changed different expressions as her ears started to hurt. Grabbing ahold of her self she tried to shut all the sounds out. ”Ughh what's going on?” She asked her husband a little frighten. ”My chakra control is completely shot.”

”You need to remember the basics. Just start from the beginning. I know it hard, but you have to do this yourself.” Kai watched as her control became easier over time. In a matter of minutes, she had fair chakra control. Placing the seals upon herself, her body became slack against him.

”I feel so weak now. Is this how you always feel?”

”Meh, more or less. Come on.” He moved his head in the direction of the ground. ”Let's take you to them.” With a small smile, Kai flew them both down. A lot faster now that her body could handle the speeds easier than before. Arriving back at the village everyone looked happy as they saw her move and breath again. Bringing her into the recovery room he layed her down on the bed.

Once done with the cleanup, the nurse brought the children in. Kai walked out to let them be alone for now. He made his way to the ICU. Finding an exhausted Hisa standing over the incubator. Grabbing her wrist lightly, he moved behind her to act as support. Slowly he bolstered her low chakra reserve with his own. With the added help, they worked quickly to help the baby.

Flinching Hisa felt happy and sad with his embrace. She was only sad that she couldn't do this alone. Happy for the help though. Thinking he may resent her, plagued her thoughts as they continued to operate. ”Kai, I am so sorry. I should have left that woman alone and saw to the wellbeing of the babies.”

”Oh, are you sure about that?” Feeling her tense up Kai moved his hand atop of hers to give her encouragement. ”We spent the past few months training you to be the head caregiver of the children yes. But foremost, you are a doctor. Never apologize for that. You went to the most critical patient. You trusted the others you have trained to see to her and our family. You did nothing wrong. Do not be angry with yourself. Be angry with me if you have to. I should have planned more. Pakura should have not left the village as well. Blame can go everywhere.”

”I.. just feel like I have failed.” Hisa hands tried to pass more chakra till Kai stopped her.

”You have done enough. You are way past the acceptable limits we agreed upon. Rember the rules we set in place for chakra uses while you are pregnant. I will not allow you to spend anymore. ” Seeing her turn angry at him, Kai reassured her. ”Allow me to increase your reserves back to peak then you can continue. Do not allow your hormones and feelings to get the better of you.”

”Hmph, you always let your feelings and hormones get the better of you. So why cant I?” Hisa said pouting a little.

”That is easy, because you are my better half. Well, halves. Or is it section? I honestly can not remember at this point what it is called. Anyway, someone has to be the grounded one along with Kari. Cant be me. I dont take enough things seriously for that.” Kai talked lowly as he continued to look over the boy in the incubator.

As the two work togethor the baby was out of the critical zone in a few hours.

Finally relaxing, Kai finally noticed Pakura roll in pushed by a nurse. The four baby girls wrapped up. The twins on the left side legs entwined with one another again. The oldest kicking about. The other just sleeping contently. Pakura kept looking at them finally noticing her little boy in the container. Her eyes looking sad thinking the worse. She gestured to the nurse to roll her over.

”How is he?”

”He is fine. Dont worry he will make it.”

”How do you know?!” Pakura stretched her hand out before pulling it back. Is this my fault? If I would have stood home, this wouldn't happen. The labor would have happened on time without incident.”

”No. Dont think like that. I am not just saying that because of the medical books say that either. Get that look off your face.” Looking at the nurse Kai asked her to leave. Then he erected a sound barrier. ”This is hereditary. I said it once there was a possibility. He has the same heart defect as I do. Well as I did. The bloodlines will kick in and take care of that over time. If it will help ease your mind, just blame me. It is my heart complications that all of them are likely to carry. The boys just have a higher chance.” Looking at her calm down a little, Kai walked around from Hisa towards Pakura. Touching each of his daughters he smiled. ”None of them have that problem. The twins just have a problem some twins have. It is normal. When they get older they might not be able to stand each other anymore. But for now, let them be around each other more. As far as prem.a.t.u.r.e birth goes, there is only so much you can do about it.”

”The birth started when I saw you rush towards Mastica and Tsume... I became scared.” Pakura said lowly. Her body language gave Kai a bit of worry.

”You need to stop gazing through my eyes. I have told you that would be a bad idea during your pregnancy.” Squatting down Kai cupped her face and stared. ”I almost lost you today. I need you to be more careful for just a little bit. Then you can go back to be a force of nature around the village. Seeing her smile Kai looked at the sleeping girls. 'Oh, boy that's a lot of daughters. Why not a lot of sons. Defintely make breeding easier?'

”Why in the world did you get scared?” Hisa asked. She continued to look at the little boy in the incubator. ”Are you still thinking about leaving us?”

”Huh? What do you mean leaving?' Kai asked shocked. 'Well shit. I knew she was acting weird. But didnt think that was happening. Maybe I am dreaming.'

”If the casualties were high, I would have.” Looking up Pakura stared at Kai. ”If I would have gotten them killed. I dont know what I would have done besides that. Staying in the village would have been unbearable. I dont know if I would have been able to face little Kiba knowing I was the reason his mother was killed. Even though I am not as friendly as I use to be with them, I still consider them dear friends of mine. Sometimes I wished I never told them who I used to be.”
