"So, he's finally collected you too, huh?" I cross my arms over my chest as I stare at Hiiro Kagami, who is standing in a nice suit in front of me. He also looks quite uncomfortable right now, but he'll get over it eventually.

"He has Saki's data."

"I am aware of that currently. That isn't the only data he probably has. He is really a tricky old man," I say, tilting my head a bit and sighing. "Do you think he'll remarry? Is it possible to marry him, get him back in prison, and then get a divorce?"

"Is that some great new plan of yours?"

"No, but I thought it would be fun to make one up to be funny. You didn't laugh."

"It wasn't amusing," he states, looking away from me. "I feel so bad for being here. I can't even tell the others what is going on with this." 

I uncross my arms. "Hey, it is like that sometimes. You know when a girl gets her period right? Well, she can't always say something about it. It can get awkward."

"Are you on yours?"

"Not yet." Thankfully. "Don't worry, I'm not pregnant. I am being really careful about that kind of thing. If I return to my world pregnant, my mom will kill me." Especially since she won't even know who the baby daddy is. Can't tell her it is some fictional dude from some TV show in the Japan.

Hiiro nods his head, his eyes still off of me. "I'm glad you're not pregnant yet. You and the Intern need to realize that it'll end eventually."

"What? I thought you approved of us." Why is he being so negative right now?

He looks back at me. "Once you go back home, you won't be able to come back here ever again. You'll never see Emu again and you both need to quit living in happiness all the time. You have to realize that some good things have to come to an end."

"Like you and Saki?" I think he's just wanting to look out for me, but he shouldn't be so negative about it. 

"Yeah, like that," he replies, being nice about me bringing up Saki for once. "Since you're like a sister to me, I worry a lot about you. I do not want you to be disappointed when you two have to possibly be separated."

Hiiro has a point with that. I might have to leave this world for good and never come back. If that happens, my heart will shatter completely. I have grown completely attached to that man and he's too wonderful to leave behind. How does one get prepared to one day leave such a man? 

"I'm aware that we might, but do I have to let him go right now? I want to be with him for as long as possible." I do not want to break up with Emu at all. I refuse to truly break up with him.

"I'm supportive of your relationship, Elkie, but I am worried about what will happen when that day comes."

"We'll face it." I will bravely face it with Emu. "I will face that day like a boss. It won't bring me down and I will be with Emu when I can. It will happen."

He shakes his head. "You don't know that."

"I do know that! I'm going to be with him and that is final!" I exclaim, turning away from him. "I'm going to take a nap and you're going to deal with it. If Masamune needs me, tell him I'm busy with my dreams."

"Elkie, I didn't mean any-"

"I know you didn't mean harm, Hiiro," I say, cutting him off. "I understand why you're being like this and I forgive you for it. Just don't bring it up again."

"Fine." 

I'm glad he understands it now.

~.~

I look Emu in the eyes as he takes the thing from my hands. This is unbelievable. I honestly can't believe it right now. 

"No way..." His eyes go down to it and he shakes his head. "This can't be!"

"Emu, we can-"

"We can't! No...there is no way we can afford a baby! You're from another world and can disappear at any given moment. I can't raise a kid all by myself!" Emu exclaims, his eyes returning to my face. He shakes his head. "No, you're going to have to find a way to fix this."

"I'm not ending the life of my baby. Others can do that, but I won't." How can be be like this? "Don't you love me? If you do, you won't mind having this happen."

"It isn't that I don't love you, Elk, but that I can't do this. It...it is too much for me right now." His eyes light up a bit, glowing madly as his skin starts glowing as well. "I...I can't have a baby at this time. You'll just disappear!"

"Emu....calm down," I beg, reaching out for his hands that have the tester in them. "Please..."

"I...I..." He gasps as his body starts fading in and out. "I can't...Elk..."

He disappears and the tester falls to the ground as his pixels fly around me. 

"GAME OVER!"

"Emu!" I shout, falling to my knees as I reach out for the tester. Tears fill my eyes and I shake my head. "No, no, no!" 

"Hey, it's alright." 

I shake my head as tears go down my cheeks. "No...how can you say that, Hiiro? And how are you even here right now? You weren't here a moment ago."

"Wake up," Hiiro orders. "You're dreaming." 

I'm what? Dreaming?

"Yeah, you're so dreaming! Guess who is a completed Bugster now and your new boyfriend and baby daddy? Me!" Parad exclaims and I look over. 

Parad stares at me as he moves his arms around with his hands balled up. Is he doing some sort of victory dance right now? Hey, he's even moving his legs like he's going to move backwards. He's not moving backwards though, so what the heck?

"No, you're not allowed to have that!" I shout at him as he keeps dancing, a smile growing on his face. "Parad!"

"Elkie, it's a dream. Wake up!" Hiiro shouts. 

I open my eyes up and lift my head off the table, sighing a bit. So, that really was a dream? Emu got a 'Game Over' because I got pregnant? What happens if that happens in real life? 

"You're talking in your sleep. I didn't hear it all, but I heard you say something about Emu disappearing and Parad dancing. That kind of image is now in my mind and I blame you for it," Hiiro says, informing me about what he's seeing in his mind right now. 

I look at him. "I was having an awful dream about Emu getting a Game Over alright. I told him I was pregnant in my dream and he just bailed out by disappearing. Then Parad showed up and said he would take care of my baby with me. Do you know how horrible that is to even dream about?" And it did feel a bit real. 

"You're dreams are messed up. Anyway, we need to get ready to go out. Masamune has ordered us to do something for him and we're going to follow his orders. That is what we have to do," Hiiro tells me, informing me of our new mission. So, I'm not going to sit here all day long?

"I see that you're informing your partner about the mission I decided to give you two. Elkie, you will not need to transform for the mission. Your job is to simply be a distraction," Masamune says and I look over as he enters the room casually. 

"A distraction?" I blink. That's it?

He nods. "Yeah, you will distract those who are interested in you. Since they will forget the mission at hand back you're in front of them, Taddle Fantasy will be able to take them out with ease." 

I look at Hiiro and raise an eyebrow. "No kidding."

Hiiro looks me in the eyes and then turns, his attention going to Masamune. "Elkie was just discussing with me before that about our new relationship. While I'll keep on working on getting Saki back, I decided to date someone new. It is about time I try to move on to someone you approve of, boss." 

I gasp. "Hiiro..."

"Congratulations on the new relationship. I hope that you can rub it in that Intern's face when we're all around him," Masamune says, happy about the random twist Hiiro is taking us on. He doesn't know Hiiro is lying and I'm going to keep him from knowing that now, I guess.

"Yeah, congratulations to us, huh?" I move closer to Hiiro and put my arms around him. He turns his head to me and looks down. "Hey, honey, how about we go and stop those losers now? We don't need them since they are beneath us." I want to be with Emu right now and have a sweet, loving night with him. 

"That sounds like a plan," he responds, keeping calm. "Elk, I love you so much already and I hope you know that I won't compare you to Saki. We'll figure out things more when Saki is brought back." 

I nod. "Sounds good to me. You know what? We could try a threesome if you want to." I don't care for speaking like this in front of Masamune right now.

"What a kinky girl you have there! Keep her in check will you?" Masamune laughs a bit. "I'm going to get back to what I need to do here. See you all later."

I'm going to make sure that Emu knows about this fake new relationship. I do not want anyone thinking I'm trying to get some of Hiiro. That's pretty disgusting to me. 

A/n: Hiiro dragging Elkie into his lies. xD Good job, Hiiro!

I wasn't going to take it on this route before, but I thought it would be fun to. There is nothing between Elkie and Hiiro (besides being like siblings), so don't panic! Thank you for reading and please keep on enjoying. 

Ps: Rufus147 deserves credit for the dream sequence that I put in here. They gave me the idea and I put it in. Sorry for the delay in posting it as a credit, but I had to go and copy the name (I'm also watching a stream, so I got kind of distracted from doing so. I did not forget to (somewhat). Thanks!
