"Megumi...it means 'blessing'. If you have anything that's fine, it's just...an idea." I said, her skin was amazingly soft, she took my breath away in so many ways.

I giggled. "Megumi is the perfect name!" I laughed, turning to kiss his cheek. I loved him so much.

"Megumi...you're right. It fits her well." I noticed that our child, though quiet and sweet was very alert. The first couple days were so simple in a surprising way. Megumi slept on the futon with us and she rarely cried. If hungry she whimpered and kicked her little feet to get our attention.

It was then that I knew our daughter would be unique.

I kept her close. She was my dearest treasure, my daughter. I sat outside in the warm sunlight, holing my daughter close. She seemed to like the outdoors as much as I did. I smiled as she started to giggle when my hair draped in my face. I left it there, just to hear her laugh. My sweet, sweet daughter.

Life, though complicated at times seemed very simple right now. Of course there would always come a day when I had to go. Then, I wanted to take them but I felt I'd be putting little Megumi at risk.

I finally took her inside so I could have privacy to feed her. She tugged strongly at my hair when I went to open the door. I laughed, and left her hand there. What harm was it to me, anyway?

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 5:02 am

"Aja, can I talk with you...or are you busy?" I asked, putting on my slightly serious face.

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 5:05 am

I stopped short, looking to him. Megumi wasn't hungry, I was just taking her to eat anyway to put her on a proper eating cycle. "No, I'm not busy! What would you like to talk about?" I replied with a slight smile.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 5:08 am

"I have to go to Honnoji and deal with some things there. I thought of taking you but..." I looked at Megumi.

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 5:11 am

I frowned,, not liking the thought of him leaving again. But I then forced a smile. "Do what you must, Ijin. I'll be here when you come home. Just... please get me some fabric for new clothes, would you? And some for Megumi as well! I would like to go ahead and make her some clothes for when she is older!" I tried to be happy about it. I really did. I don't know how well I faked it though.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 5:13 am

"Ah...eh..." I sighed and came out with it, "Aja, I want you to come with me. It's not dangerous right now and if we disguise well we can just be parents with our child..."

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 5:22 am

I nearly died. "Really?!" I exclaimed in a hushed voice, trying not to disturb Megumi. "Are you serious? If your just joking with me, Shonobi-Ijin, I swear I will murder you!" I then smiled as sweetly as possible. "I'll go pack! Is that all you needed, love?"

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:59 pm

"Why would I joke about something like that? Besides, it'll be Megumi's first adventure. She'll love the fresh air!" I exclaimed, actually getting to hold our baby for the VERY FIRST time since she was born thanks to Aja packing.

She felt like she weighed nothing in my arms!

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:02 pm

I got everything packed, then came out of our room with arms full of mostly baby stuff. "Alright, I'm ready!" I exclaimed with a smile.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:05 pm

"Eh...you can carry that stuff. You got to hold Megumi for a long time, it's my turn. Have fun getting her back!" I grinned mischievously and walked out of the room.

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:08 pm

I narrowed my eyes. Had he no manners? "Go bald, Ijin! Go bald!!" I exclaimed, running after him.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:16 pm

"No! Ah, that's right, Megumi, laugh!" She was giggling a little bit, even for being so small and young she still laughed at an early age.

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:21 pm

I glared at the back of his head, willing holes to appear in it. If he had asked to hold her, I would have let him. But the fact that he had stolen her from me was almost enough to make me go insane!

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:33 pm

"Aja, she's mine too! You never even let me hold her when I ask so I had to take a chance while you were packing." I frowned and switched with her, it made me feel bad.

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:34 pm

I sighed, knowing he was right. "No, you take her. I'm sorry..."

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:37 pm

"Let's not fight over her okay? That's a bad way to start out her life if we're always arguing...we'll...hold her equally." I said with a smile, "Let's remember that."

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:40 pm

I nodded. "Which means you have to make up for the days you didn't hold her, so take her!" I switched with him again, taking all the baby stuff and things. "Right, no more fighting over her."

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:55 pm

Megumi kicked and fussed a bit when she was switched yet again.

"Sorry, Megu...I won't switch again for a little bit alright?" Before leaving a made sure to get the baby sling from Mother so if our arms got tired we could carry her like that. I didn't know how soon we'd use it though.

"Look's like we're going, ready, Aja?"

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:57 pm

"I'm ready!" I exclaimed, hobbling over to him. The stuff was heavy, so I dropped the unimportant things. That made it lighter, and easier to carry!

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 3:01 pm

"We are not going to be gone that long." I chuckled, "Let's go."

We said goodbye and left the village.
