Married…With Kids
by Ling-chan
 Well, I was in a mood to make people’s nightmares come true and I was surfing at Miss Bottou’s “Joker’s House of Cards” when I stumbled on Fuuko no Miko’s question on whether Neon-han would mind if she wrote a fic about Joker and Neon married with kids! So, just work your brain cells a little bit and you’ll get the idea! ^.^ [no offense intended] Well, enjoy!!!!
P.S. NO hentai stuff in here. I am MUCH TOO YOUNG to write those kind of stuff.
P.P.S. ‘Itai’ means pain in Japanese.

Kurei had done it. He had left me just after he had gotten close to me. He will never understand how I felt when I laid down on the clinic bed, trying to figure out why he would leave me just when we were at the climax of our relationship. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t understand. I guess my brain cells weren’t working as well as they should have after that fight with the stupid Ura Uruha guy.

Anyway, as all of you probably know, I went back to the Ura Butou Satsujin site to meet Aki and Miki. I retrieved Jisho’s knives and together, the three of us went to SODOM and poor Aki and Miki got hooked together with that beefcake, Domon. Tough luck! The events that happened after that are highly secretive and I cannot reveal them until Anzai Nobuyuki-sama decides to make the information available to the world.

All I can say is that the Uruha Jyuushinshuu survived it all being the cool and incredible fighters that we are. After the Tendoujidoku affair, Kurei-sama inherited Mori Kouran’s fortune and we all stayed together again. I tried to get close to Kurei-sama again, but he wouldn’t let me. He kept me shut out from his heart and decided to spend his time looking after his estates and fortune.

After a while, he ‘kicked’ the three of us out of his mansion. Preferring that we live by ourselves and lead normal lifestyles than having us around as bodyguards and reminders of his past life. So, Raiha, Joker and me decided to live together. The strength of camaderie was that strong. Raiha got a job as a history lecturer and finally cut his hair. Joker went to work as an engineer and although he never wore his joker suit again or wore that ridiculous mask, he still wore a cap or had sunglasses on all the time so that his eye colour still remained a mystery. I worked as a secretary and you know what, the minute I stepped into the interview room, I was hired without even going through that interview. I guess that itsy bitsy little top and that micro mini skirt helped eh! *wink*

For that period of time that I was going through depression from the rejection, I never dated. I always stayed true to Kurei and I didn’t want to betray our love. However, days then weeks then months passed and none of us got any word from Kurei. He’d really forgotten all about us. I gave up any hopes of him coming back to me and just moped all day.

Joker and Raiha kinda figured out what was wrong but they could only do so much to try to make me happy. Still, I think that I should tell all of you that kind of things that they did. Raiha, being the sweetie that he was, bought me flowers, chocolates and little trinkets even though most of his income was spent on showering Fuuko with triple the amount of gifts that I received. Joker, on the other hand, was nice to me, did all the household chores and gave me a list of telephone numbers that supposedly belonged to male ‘hotties’.

On better days, I would call some of them to arrange dinner or something like that but would always cancel the date last minute due to my guilty feelings. After one year without Kurei, I was a wreck. I had lost my perfect figure, my usual cheerfulness, my healthy complexion and many other things. Raiha sometimes gave me those sad glances and shook his head a little but Joker remained the same guy that he had been. I appreciated that.

Then one day, Joker called me at office to meet him for lunch at a fancy restaurant. I agreed to go because I treated him as a good friend and was feeling extremely lonely that day. I went to the ladies’ to freshen up and left the office and hurried to the restaurant.

When I arrived, I saw Joker wave to me from a table at a rather secluded corner of the restaurant. I also saw someone else with him. Someone distinctly male. I couldn’t see the man’s face as he was sitting with his back facing me but something about him was very familiar. I slowly walked towards the table, giving Joker the evil eye all the while for trying to hook me up with another guy friend. Sitting down, I turned to face the man to try to blurt out a greeting.

I was never more shocked in my life.

Kurei was the man.

My stomach churned as a burst of emotions created a tornado in my heart. I didn’t know whether to leave immediately, rush forward and hug Kurei, slap him, ignore him totally or just cry. Too late. I was crying already. Trying to hide the fact that I was crying, I let my bangs hide me eyes and made a show of blowing my nose to dry my eyes. I asked Joker why he had set me up like this. He just said that he had thought that it would do me some good to see Kurei again and mumbled a ‘sorry’ for his mistake.

I kept quiet as did everyone else. Heck, it was so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop. I decided to break the silence with carefully chosen words.

“Thank you for taking your time to come Kurei. I know it is very difficult for you to take time off with your kind of life. I hope that all is well with you. Raiha, Joker and I have missed you but we have also gotten used to our present lives. We would like to thank you for making that decision to let us lead normal lives. I suppose that Joker has told you about my condition for the past year. I cannot deny the fact that I was deeply traumatised but I dare say that I have been slowly healing with the help of Joker and Raiha. In fact, I have just realized that I have such good friends like Joker and Raiha to help me in my time of need. Once again, I would like to thank you for coming.”

I looked down at my cup of coffee that Joker had ordered for me before I had arrived. I was a decaf with milk and sugar, the only kind that I drank. How thoughtful of Joker! He was so nice and sweet to me. Arranging the lunch date with Kurei and even trying to make sure that I was comfortable to the littlest detail. Sure, he was a rasta-braided punk from Osaka. He was mean and lean. I had never seen his eyes before and hopefully, they weren’t like Mori Kouran’s. He could be so egotistical at times and he could totally piss me off but he was still a nice guy to me. He could even support me financially with his large income if we got married. Hmm, where did the word ‘married’ come from? Anyway, if only he was mine.

Kurei’s voice woke me up from my daydreams. “I am glad that you seem okay. Joker did tell me quite a lot about your condition. I hope that you will recover quickly. I apologise for not being in contact with all of you for so long. I was afraid that if I reappeared in your lives, you all would never move on. I am proud of all of you. You all have good jobs, steady incomes and live comfortably. However, I would like to apologise mostly to you Neon.”

“Em, I’ll be leaving now Kurei-han. I’m running late for a meeting,” Joker said and disappeared faster than you can say ‘rasta-braided punkish freak’.

Kurei continued. “I’m sorry for being so cold to you during that time. What I did was wrong. I was hoping that letting you go and find someone more worthy of you would be better for you. I still maintain that I am not worthy of you since I have caused you so much pain. I hope that you can find Mr Right soon and you know, he might not be too far away.” He smiled a genuine smile that reached his eyes. I couldn’t help but smile back. “Of all the remaining Uruha Jyuushinshuu, I am most proud of you Neon. Now, you have matured into a beautiful woman. Now, you a rose in full bloom without thorns. I hope that you will be happy from now on.” I hugged him.

“Domo arigato gozaimasu Kurei-sama. Thank you so much for coming back just for me. I promise you that I will make sure that your wish of me living happily next time will be granted.” I broke off the embrace with tears of happiness shining in my eyes. We chatted for a while more and found out that he was now married with a soon-to-be son. He promised to call back frequently since he figured that I was stable now.

Soon, he had to leave. As we walked out of the restaurant, he said to me,” You know, I think that someone’s been in love with you for the past year. He’s been very nice to you and even arranged this meeting for you.”

“Joker-kun! Hahahah! When did you develop a sense of humour Kurei-chan?”

“No, seriously. I dare say that I have experience in these areas. I am sure that he likes you beyond friendship. He’s a good catch. He might even be Mr Right. Good luck with him!” He winked and stepped into a waiting limousine. “Ja ne!”

“Ja ne!”

That night when I got home, I went to Joker’s bedroom. He was playing Diablo. “Oh Joker-kun!!! You’re such a sweetie you know that. That was really nice of you. You wanna go out for lunch and dinner tomorrow?”

“Hn?_? Oi Neon-han did you fall down and hit your head too hard?”

“Of course not silly! WHAM!!! That’s what you get for that. So, you wanna go out?”

“Lemme check my calendar. I’m a very busy man you know! Hmm, let’s see. Oh, I’m free. Too bad. I was hoping that I could escape from you. Sigh, life is so unfair.”

WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM!!!!!!!!

“ITAI!!!”

“Muahahahaha!! Neon-han the warrior Uruha is BACK! Muahahahahahahah!!!!”

So life went on happily. I met Kurei’s wife who bore and uncanny resemblance to Kurenai-san in both looks and character. Raiha announced his marriage with Fuuko soon after and they lived happily ever after. One Jyuushinshuu down and two more to go. The house was emptier now that Raiha was gone but it was undoubtedly MUCH more private. Joker-kun and I got were seriously dating by then.

In the following year, and he proposed. Two down and no more to go. We had a quiet wedding with Kurei, his wife and their unbearably cute son and Raiha and an already pregnant Fuuko attending. Kurei and Raiha were the witnesses and it was the happiest day of my life. That night, Joker and I had the best night of our lives and nine months later, I gave birth to triplets, two boys and one girl.

Now, Joker and I are celebrating our third year of marriage. Our children are FULL of energy and are helping their kaa-chan to lose weight faster than you can say ‘Neon has a great figure’. I am living happily ever after now and so are the rest of the Uruha Jyuushinshuu. Sigh. Life is good.
