The Crying Traveller (Part 24)

*A week later...*

Kal: *noticed tht he seemed to be developing a sort of baby bump* Nakh, hv I gotten fat?

Nakh: I wouldnt say tht. Its more of ur belly, not ur whole body...Ur not pregnant, r u??

Kal: No~! If I were I would knw! I would get tht crazy intense hunger thing, remember?

Kita: Damn it...*rubbed his stomach*

Rai: The result is negative. ARe you think what I'm thinking?

Kita: Yes. Paros

Kiba; *rubbed his stomach* NOw this is weird

Elly: *poked at the belly gently* Hmm, ur not pregnant, or I would knw. Wht's going on here?

Kiba: I dunno. Let's see Uncle Kita and Uncle Rai. They might know what's going on

Kito: Melly? What's wrong?

Raito: This is most strange. And you're not pregnant

Melly: Yeah, or I would've been chowing right abt now *chked his bump* Man, this is weird. We gotta let Kita knw abt this

Kita: *sighed heavily* This isn't good at all

*all of them affected came to approach him*

Kal: *sees Kita* Woah, u too?

Kita: It seems so. And I found out what's wrong.

Kito: What's wrong with everyone, Pa?

Kita: We're carrying Paros

Nakh: Paros? Wht is tht? *looks confused*

Melly: *scratches his head too along with Elly*

Kita: Paros. It's a parasitic demon that impregnates their host by a single bite

Melly: Ehh??

Elly: Oh my

Kal: How long will we be hving this??

Kita: Since the bite was a week ago for all us, we have 3 weeks left.

Kito and Raito: O_O

Kiba: *holds onto Elly, scared*

Elly: *hold him, comforting*

Melly: *looks scared as well*

Kal: Aww, man...This is not good. Will they burst out of us or something?

Kita: No, they won't. We'll just have them naturally.

Kito and Raito: *they held Melly, comforting him the best they could*

Melly: I dont wanna hv a creature inside me! Cant we just extract it out?

Rai: There lies in the problem. If we extract them, the host dies

Elly: Wht?? Then we're reli gonna wait it out until they get birth out?

Kita: *rubbed his swollen middle* It has to. When we have 'em, we burn 'em!

Kito and Raito: Yeah!

Kal: Why burn 'em? They're just using us as host. They didnt reli do anything wrong

Kita: So they can eat you later on?

Kiba: O_O *hugs onto Elly, shaking with fear*

Elly: *hugged him close*

Kal: Oh my, then I guess we SHOULD burn them

Kita: They are inside us to fatten us up and then eat us when they're born

Nakh: Then we should definitely kill it!

Kiba: I can't wait to get this...this...thing out of my body!

Kita: This happened before to my father.

Nakh: Woah, to Katsu? Bt he's pure male, how he was able to get it out

Kita: They cut it out of him

Elly: Bt I thought extraction would kill the host

Kita: Only if it isn't fully developed. Right Dad? *saw his father walk in*

Rai: Katsu!

Katsu: *seems them n knew it straight away* Tht dreaded Paros again?

Kita: Yes, father.

Katsu: So u, Kiba, Melly n Kal got it. Tht is a bit of a fix

Elly: Ugh, u can say tht again

Kiba: This sucks big time

Kito: How did you fair, Grandpa?

Raito: Yeah! How?

Katsu: Not too good. I would be constantly hungry no matter how much I eat n I was like a beached whale for a whole mth, n wen it was time...well, lets just say I fully appreciate wat Rini went thru wen she gave birth to the boys. Thankfully we've got skilled medics to cut the damn thing out, bt they were devoured almost immediately before we finally burnt it

Kita: I knew they were that bad, but damn, Dad

Kiba: *shivers*

Elly: Dont worry, we'll get rid of them as soon as they get outta the system

Kiba: *became to calm down and kissed Elly*

Elly: *kissed him bk*

Melly: *also calms dwn frm his crying*

Kito: We'll stay by your side, Melly.

Raito: And we'll roast that thing!

Melly: *giggled thru his tears* My heroes *kissed them*

Kita: *held Rai's hand* We'll get through this! Together!
