Asuki's POV.

I tried to comfort Kaira as best I could, but I didn't really know how. I could say 'everything will be alright', but wouldn't that be a lie? Kaira was clearly upset, not knowing what to do. I couldn't blame her. Pregnant at the age of 18. I'd be feeling insecure as well if that were to happen to me.

She still had her whole life in front of her, but now she probably couldn't even imagine her future anymore. She wasn't ready for this. Not at all.

I pursed my lips as I held Kaira tighter against me. If only I could help her somehow, but what could I do? Kaira had to choose herself what to do. I couldn't make that decision for her. Even though she'd killed people before, will she be able to undergo an abortion and make an end to the life of her own child?

She's lucky that we found out early. If we discovered that she was pregnant weeks later, she would have less time to think about what to do with the child.

''Do you want me to get someone for you?'' I asked, breaking the silence. ''Miyu for example?''

''..I-Izuna.''

Izuna's POV.

I let out a deep sigh as I let myself fall on the couch. I was tired. Training with mom was more exhausting that I thought it would be. She was also harder on me that I imagined she'd be. If I''d only get the hang of Ice Release...

''Izuna.'' I looked to my right and saw Asuki standing in the doorway. ''Do you have a moment?'' Her voice was soft as she the words hesitantly left her mouth.

I narrowed my eyes. ''Is it Kaira?''

Asuki nodded. ''She's now in her room, bu-''

I didn't listen any longer. Getting up from the couch, I hastily left the living room. I still didn't know what was wrong with Kaira, but Asuki looked pretty serious. I was glad Kaira's room wasn't far away, so I came there already soon after I left. Without taking the effort to knock on the door, I quickly opened it.

Kaira was lying on her bed, her back turned to me. Her shoulders slightly were shaking, indicating that she was crying. I was surprised. When was the last time she cried? Kaira mostly hid her pain and sadness, unless it became too much. But what was the reason this time?

I closed the door behind me and walked at her. At first slowly, but as I neared the bed my pace increased and before I knew it I sat on the edge. Placing my hand on her shoulder, I turned her around. Now lying on her back, Kaira continued to shake. Her eyes and cheeks were red and tears leaked from her eyes as she gritted her teeth.

Upon seeing me, she put her arm over her eyes and bit her lip. Now incredibly worried, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her arm away from her face. I held her shoulder tightly and pulled her up.

She leaned her head against my shoulder as she gripped my shirt tightly in her hands. This was the first time I've seen her so desperate, so helpless, and it made my chest tighten.

I put my arm around her waist to support her more. "Will you tell me what's wrong?" I asked carefully.

Kaira's grip on my shirt tightened. "..I." She began almost inaudible. "P-Promise me that you won't be mad."

I smiled and rubbed her back comfortingly. "I promise."

There was a short silence, and Kaira buried her face in my shoulder.

"I'm pregnant."

My eyes widened, and my body froze. Kaira clearly sensed this and squeezed my arm, not having the guts to look up to me, to look me in the eyes. This was too much too comprehend. Kaira was pregnant? With what I assumed what Sasuke's child?

My grip on Kaira's waist tightened. Anger boiled up inside me. I thought Sasuke had a good influence at her. Kaira became more considerate, more kindhearted, but if I knew it would lead to this I would never have trusted that guy with my sister.

''I-Izuna..'' Kaira whimpered. ''T-Tell me what to d-do.''

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her. Her whole body was still shaking and she started crying again. I could feel her tears against my shoulder as they wetted my shirt. I pursed my lips and pulled her into a tight embrace. ''I-I can't make that choice for you.'' I murmured, still shocked from the news. ''But if you choose what you think is right, then you'll be just fine.''

I pressed my lips against her head. ''You'll be alright.''

We sat like that for a while. Kaira thinking about her decision while I was still trying to comprehend it all. To think that my own sister was pregnant was a pretty weird idea, especially at our age. If I thought of it before it actually happened, I probably couldn't have imagined it.

''Does Sasuke know?'' I asked.

When Kaira didn't respond, I already knew the answer. It also became clear why Kaira was still unsure of what to do. If she talked about it to Sasuke, they could come to a decision together.

''You have to tell him, Kaira.'' I said. ''He has the right to know.''

"I know that." Kaira whispered. ''I just don't know how to tell him." She muttered. "Can... Can you come with me?"

She looked up to me, the look in her eyes was almost pleading, making it hard for me to refuse. "Alright, but you have to tell him yourself."

Kaira nodded and wiped her eyes, taking a deep breath. She managed to smile slightly, almost unnoticeable, but it was still a smile.

"Thank you."

Kaira's POV.

I stared at Izuna's back as he walked in front of me. As we slowly neared the living room -we assumed Sasuke was there- this feeling inside my stomach got stronger and stronger.

I felt uncomfortable and afraid. I didn't want to tell Sasuke. I wanted things to go back to normal, to before this pregnancy thing happened, but I know I couldn't change anything. I couldn't go back.

I kept wondering how Sasuke would react. He wouldn't abandon me. I knew that. There was no way he wouldn't feel responsible for this.

But that didn't lessen my fear at all. He could still feel annoyed, disappointed or even angry. He wouldn't leave me but his feelings toward me could change. That was what I was afraid of.

I followed Izuna into the living room. Sasuke was indeed there, but I didn't expect mom to be there too. Upon seeing me, her eyes widened slightly. It was understandable. I knew I looked horrible. My eyes red, and make up smeared on my cheeks. I already tried to remove the most but it didn't fully go away.

''Kaira!'' she exclaimed. ''What happened?''

This caught Sasuke's attention, and he stood up once he saw me. I looked at him, hesitantly waving my hand at him, telling him to come. Sasuke nodded and walked at me, but I felt a hostile aura coming from Izuna once he passed him. Izuna didn't do anything though, but I knew he really wanted to. He was pretty protective.

''What's wrong?'' Sasuke asked. ''Did something happen?''

''C-Can you come with me for a sec?'' I asked slowly. ''We need to talk.''

Sasuke nodded, and I looked at Izuna, but he shook his head and pointed at mom, who was standing in front of him, asking him questions. I really wanted him to come with me to make me feel more confident, but I guess I had to do it without him.

I left the living room, and Sasuke followed suit. Entering a random room to make sure nobody could interrupt or eavesdrop, I told Sasuke to close the door behind him.

''What happened?'' Sasuke asked.

''You.. You remember that I wasn't feeling well earlier this day?'' I mumbled softly.

''Yeah..'' Sasuke answered, already knowing it had something to do with that.

''Well.'' I began, my voice slightly shaking. ''I went to Asuki.''

''And?'' He asked. ''What did she say?''

''I... I'm..'' The words refused to come out. No matter how hard I struggled, I just couldn't say it. Saying it to Sasuke was harder than telling Izuna. My chest felt incredibly tight and my throat felt dry from all the crying. ''I..''

''You're pregnant?''

I looked up to Sasuke, my eyes wide, while he still had that calm expression on his face. He didn't look angry, disappointed nor annoyed, but the fear didn't go away.

''H-How did you know?'' I stuttered.

Sasuke's POV.

''H-How did you know?'' she stuttered.

''So it's true?'' I asked.

Kaira gritted her teeth and nodded. She was obviously not happy with it, and I wasn't exactly excited either. It was a shock, but we had no choice but to accept it and to find a solution that would satisfy the both of us.

''I'm sorry.'' Kaira's cracking voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked down at her. Tears were streaming down her face. She should take a look at herself. She looked terrible. Out of character, but it was understandable. Considering the circumstances, she was afraid and didn't know what to do. I felt the same, but it was worse for Kaira, since she was carrying the child. She must feel more responsible for it.

"It's not your fault." I muttered as I cupped her cheeks in my hands. "So don't be sorry."

Kaira nodded and I pulled her into an embrace, which she gladly returned. Right now, we should just let it sink in and decide what to do a few days later. Kaira was still upset and she needed to calm down first.

Then we'd decide.
