Mariko : it's rare to see you here. There's barely a need to see you here. Fatari.

Fatari : well. Sometimes there are special cases.

Mariko : what special case this time ?

Fatari ; no. Just a heads up this time. Since we're such good friends.
.
.
.

Mariko : oh. Thanks.

Fatari; tomorrow is... His death anniversary.

Mariko : are you coming ?

Fatari : even how busy I am, I always make time. I'm sorry how cruel it seemed at that time I was. Just, most times fate can't be changed.

Mariko : it's ok. I appreciate it. At least we had time to treasure the last times we have together.

Fatari : Mariko. Do you still miss him from time to time ?

Mariko : everyday I sit here. This was his seat.

Fatari: alright... I better get going

Rikuo : ... Are you ok?

Niko just hugs the bucket and keeps on vomiting.

Rikuo: you've been like that the whole morning.

Hiumura : maybe you should go see a doctor.

Niko ; I'm a first batch shinigami. I don't get sick ! It's not possible! I'm not like you humans !

Hiumura: great. She's vomiting and the insults doesn't stop.

Niko : you want me to stop ? Tell me what's wrong with me! Know-it-all.

Hiumura: fine ! I don't care anymore.

Rikuo ; is there some doctor shinigamis go to ?

Niko let's go off the bucket and lies on the floor " ok... I think that's it."

Rikuo : I still think you should go see a doctor.

Niko takes out her phone and throws it out onto the floor " ooi. Pick it up. "

Hiumura: why me ?!

Niko : I'm sick !!!

Hiumura: you said you weren't!!

Rikuo takes the phone " never mind. What number? "

Niko : look for urahara bakahara.

Hiumura: even in her contacts she's mean. Wait, isn't kisuke-san a scientist?

Niko: he'll do fine. He has some pretty cool medicine that can cure all sickness.

Urahara; and I'm here ! Rarely I come up. Nice to breathe this air again.

Niko ; save me. Did you bring medicine ?

Urahara : you're sick ? But that's impossible. You're not even once human.

Niko: want to see my bucket of vomit ?

Urahara sweatdrops " ha... No. "

Niko : I feel tired and all. Now I'm hungry as hell. Rikuo. Ask your servants to cook food for me. As much as possible.

An hour later.

The three sweatdrops at the amount of food she finished in an hour. She slurps the last drop from the jar.

Five people worth of food was finished. The plates were cleaned and she let out a big burp " oh. Didn't know I could eat that much. "

Urahara : Niko-chan. I don't think you're sick.

Niko ; I'm not ?

Urahara takes out a device and starts scanning her abdomen " interesting... yup. Congratulations. "

Niko ; huh ?

Urahara: you're pregnant.

Niko : that's not possible!!! At all!!

Hiumura: cos you're a Virgin Mary ? I thought you're married. Don't you know what is sex ?

Niko : don't be ridiculous!!! Of course I know what is sex !! And who's virgin Mary ?!

Hiumura: never mind. Religion thing.

Niko : it's not possible!! Bakahara. Check again. You're wrong.

Urahara: there is a heartbeat and everything. I'm not wrong. I double checked.

Hiumura: don't you know how sex works ? So you know. You make love and you get babies.

Niko: of course I know that's how it works !!! I'll fucking kill you if you say another shit!!! Hiumura Mika!!!

Urahara: shinigamis can't get pregnant because that's not how it works.

Rikuo ; what do you mean ?

Urahara: it's not a new thing that shinigamis get married and want to build a family. To extend the services of shinigamis, there's this policy where it encourages shinigamis to apply for a baby.

Hiumura: apply ?

Urahara; hai. You apply to get one. The Paradise people will arrange for the couple to have one. Going through normal processes of a birthing procedure. The baby of course, is born as a shinigami made of both shinigami's genes when they were alive.

Niko: that's why it's not possible for me.

Urahara: first shinigami. Was never alive. Never had a body of any sort of DNA, hence not possible.

Niko: unless... No. It can't be. I've got to go back to Ground Zero.

Urahara: ok. See ya.

Mariko: I thought I might be able to see you today.

Niko: Saiko Enma. I think there's a mistake.

Mariko : there's no mistake . Niko.

Niko: but I'm a first shinigami.

Mariko : have you not wanted a family ?

Niko : I have one now.

Mariko: though they are willing, aren't you guilty of making then stay ? This is the perfect gift from me to you.

Niko: Saiko Enma... But I never really had a body. Is it possible?

Mariko: you know the answer to that question.

Niko: why ? What have I done to receive such grace from you ? Saiko Enma.

Mariko ; because you're happy now. I heard that having a family completes that. I want you to have that. I know of all of them, you will treasure this gift I have for you more, compared to me giving this gift to others.

Niko: arigatou. Saiko Enma.

Mariko: um. You may leave.

Niko left the big office, she touched onto her tummy . She couldn't really still believe it. She was a bit dazed when he called out to her. She looked up " shiro shiro. "

Toshiro: is it real ?

She nods " I asked. It's ours. Saiko Enma's gift." Her tears fell out of joy. He walked over and hugged her tight, his tears fell too. He bumped her forehead with his , slightly looking down to where her hand was placed. He put his hand onto hers " arigatou. It's going to be hard on you. "

Itachi ; Congratulations. Are you sure you still want to go with it ?

Niko: ah. I don't want to make things overcomplicated.

Itachi: I got it.

Niko : since you're going to watching over this baby. Want to be this child's godfather ?

Itachi ; that's very nice of you. I thought you would have asked gintoki.

Niko : did cross my mind. But you're watching over me and this child. So it's more fair to have you instead.

Itachi smiled " thought of a name yet ?"

Niko: no. 10 months. I'm so going to the living world so the time can be reduced to two and a half months. And that's how you use time difference.
