The Contract is Drawing Me Closer

9. The Contract Is Drawing Me Closer..

____________________________________________________

" Tomoe please sit down, You'll wear yourself out."

The fox heard this in his subconscious but he wasn't paying attention. He didn't know why he was freaking out, panicking, overreacting. Maybe it was because by the time they got to this cursed yokai hospital that Nanami was pale and shivering..

That they took her back, looked at each other funny and told him to stay in the waiting room. Thi wasn't unnerving for him; it made him panic.. his hands shook; his tail was limp and his ears were flattened to his head in confusion and fear.

Why was he shaking? Why had he begged her not to die? Not to leave him? Was he that afraid of being alone? Was the contract that strong that he practically begged a stranger to stay with him?

He begged for the baby to live, for Nanami to be okay.. for someone to help them already. Now here he was covered in blood, it was soaked into his yukata, as he paced back and forth on the already worn carpet of a hospital.

This was so serious that not even Inari could handle it. It was to hard for the man and it made Tomoe panic, His heart was racing as Mikage looked up from a baby magazine and sighed as he sat it down. He stood up as Tomoe turned around and the teen bumped into him, crashing slightly in confusion.

The fox looked at with hurt playing on his features as Mikage gripped his shoulders and looked him in the eye,

" Tomoe.. Sit down. Your going to run yourself into the ground.' He whispered this out but the word binding was there, making the fox plop down in the floor by the waiting room chairs. He pulled his knees to his chest,

The waiting room was full of coughing and choking, sneezing and crying. Some old people in wheel chairs, hurt children with arm braces and nurses who walked around and helped whoever they could.

There was a few people who ran into the waiting rooms, screaming for answers. Tomoe wanted them to, but he was new to this all; He was so young. A teenager with no head on his shoulders, to be honest he was scared. He never meant to get her pregnant, a stranger, He didn't mean to make her his mate forever.

It just happened..

And now here he was worrying and not knowing why. He didn't love her, yeah sure when they first met he found her attractive and maybe he did, Lust after her; but that was all his affections let him feel.. Now he was a bit worried.

She was in there in pain, bleeding. Screw the baby... He just wanted her to live, She was his one and only mate. She was the first to touch his ears and tail, she was the first that made him wonder why he was the way he was.

They were still drunk that night, but he did remember talking to her in a slurred conversation after everything had settled down. It was a weird conversation, but it was nice for him. After that night he had trouble sleeping, there was that saying..

Once you sleep with your mate, its hard to sleep alone again.

Tomoe's ears flopped, that month she wasn't around was terrible, Only when he moved to her room had he been sleeping again. He didn't even know why really; this wasn't him or anything else of that matter! He didn't like her, but their contract was interesting in a way..

Tomoe sighed out and leaned his head back against one of the chairs while Mikage kept his eyes trained on the worried teen, Finally the god pushed his glasses up on his nose and sighed out before looked forward at Tomoe,

" Tomoe... Once this all settles." The god paused, " Are you guys going to do the fates tying ceromony?" He whispered out making Tomoe's ears flop in sudden realization. The tying fate ceromony. It wasn't a wedding, but it was close.
