It was only a few months later, which his aunt will be giving birth to Saeko any day now, that his magic core has finally stabilize and he can begin using it. So in these past few days, he spent his days meditating, trying to feel the magic in his body before he finally found it.
It was a small thing he barely felt at first before it made itself known, making him feel safe and powerful. He then follow it with his mind, feeling how it passively strengthening his body. After having gotten a good feel of his magic, he began tracing it back to the source.
What seem like hours in his mind, he soon reach a glowing blue ball of light, pulsing every few seconds. It was the size of a small peach. Bathing him in the same feeling as before, but more concentrated. Touching the ball of light, it made something click in his mind as he feel the power through out his whole body.
He was basking in the warmth of his magic when he was rudely interrupted by someone picking him up. Frowning in displeasure he open his eyes to see who disturb him at this time, only to blink in surprise to see it was his mother who woke him.
"Ah~ Did mommy wake you up? I'm sorry little Shiro, but we have to go to the hospital now. Your aunt is giving birth and she needs us." She said explained to her son, not even minding that he can't understand her. It's to just help ease her nerves as she is worried about her sister and can sympathize with the pain she is going through.
She did not see the surprised look on her son's face as she place him on her shoulder. Then she began picking out some warmer clothes for him to wear and some much needed baby supplies, just in case it will take hours. Like his birth did.
She proceed to spend the next few minutes changing his pajama's and checking if his diaper needs changing. After that she wrap him up in a blanket and took him with her out of the house with her husband carrying the stuff.
"Did you pack everything we need?" She asked her husband as she strapped Shiro in the baby carriage. "Yes, I got everything you asked for and I didn't forget a thing." He stated proudly, puffing up his chest, feeling so sure of himself.
"Oh, really?" She said, skeptically. Not believing him one bit as he sometimes leaves out one or two things they need for their son.
"Yes, I got everything here." He reassured her, patting the bag confidently. "Ok, then. Can you hand me his favorite pacifier from the bag then?"
"Yeah, just a sec." He began rummaging through the pack, not even paying attention to his wife anymore. If he did, he would of seen her handing their son his favorite pacifier with an amused smile on her lips.
"Diapers, blankets, baby wipes, powder, um..." He began listing stuff as he move it around, trying to find the pacifier. Not even realizing his wife took it minutes before, when he suddenly stopped in place. Fearing his wife was right about him, he began searching in an erratic manner, shaking out the blankets and then taking stuff out of the bag.
When he failed at finding it, Shiro decided to end this as his mother was having trouble holding in her laughter. With a loud sucking sound, *SCHT, SCHT, SCHT*, his father stop in place before he could tear the bag apart trying to find it.
Turning his head ever so slowly he was shock to see their son's favorite pacifier was already with him. Then his mouth dropped wide open as his wife burst out laughing, holding her sides as she lean heavily against the car. "Hahaha~"
Releasing a sigh of defeat before joining his wife, chuckling at his own expense as he placed everything back inside the bag and made his way to the front. "Ok, Yuki, you made your point. I will check to see if I have everything before and after we leave the house."
"So-sorry, haha, h-honey, b-but your f-face, haha~" She said, trying apologize to her husband about their little prank, but she couldn't stop laughing. Sighing once more, he started up the car and carefully made his way to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Shiro was going over what he knew from Saeko's mother or rather coming up with ideas on why she was never mention or even shown. 'It could be either she died before Saeko could really remember her mother properly or she grew distant with her daughter years later.'
He thought before remembering the loving looks Ami has as she caressed her swollen and the sweet smile on her face. Shaking his head in denial about the last one, he could only think that she had died early.
'Good thing I made a card holder to hold a certain amount of cards on me, but I just need to think of a way to get more of them without people freaking out.'
Which he could only sigh after remembering the small light show happening after drawing one card from the place where their kept. Luckily for him, he has 5 on him right now, 3 permanent and 2 temporary cards.
He was going to practice on how to use them later tonight as his parents will be sleeping, but using it to help Ami live through childbirth is worth it. 'Although, is it possible for me to create the card I want, while there are in my 'personal space?'
And it is a good question. If he can do it, it will give him the element of surprise to any enemies he fought and leave him being unpredictable. Closing his eyes in concentration, he slowly felt the connection he has with his cards in the void, shinning brightly against his senses.
Frowning in displeasure, 'These are not the one I am looking for. Now focus, Shiro!' With grim determination, he pushed those cards aside and try to feel the connection he has to the cards in his personal space.
After a few of minutes, he finally felt it, but it was very faint. If he wasn't very familiar with how it felt, he would of missed it. Focusing on the faint connection he felt, it soon became clearer and clearer. And after a sometime, he finally felt the 5 cards in his space and just in time too, "We're here."
Opening his eyes in surprise, he glanced around, catching a glimpse of the hospital sign as they went deeper into the parking lot. "It will be alright Yuki, nothing is going to happen to your sister."
"Yes, I know dear, but I just can't help it. My sister is finally pregnant after 5 years and I don't want anything bad happen to her or my unborn niece." Sighing in restlessness, she continued, "I just hope I'm worrying for nothing."
Shiro couldn't keep the frown off his face as he listen to her words. 'Huh, she can also feel something bad will happen to her sister. Does she have that famous sixth sense which gives them a feeling of something bad will happen?'
He grew quite curious to know if his mother has it as only 8 percent of the total population in the world has the potential to develop it. 'Does it mean I have it?' He thought as he looked at his tiny hands, before shaking his head.
'It's not the time to think about it, I need to focus on how to save both my aunt's and cousin's life first.' Closing his eyes in concentration, he focused on creating a card to passively increase the chance of delivering a baby safely to 100%.
He can't take any chances as one mistake and it's all over for either of them. He doesn't want a mother to lose their child or even leave the baby without it's mother's love.
(A few hours later)
"That it! Now push!"
"GAAAHHH!" Screaming for the last time, Ami used all of her strength to push her daughter into the world. She lay back down in a boneless heap as she then gave a tired smile when she heard her daughter wailing.
"Waah~"
"It's a girl!" Wrapping up the baby in a blanket, a nurse handed her to Ami and her husband who was crying tears of joy.
"She is so beautiful, just like her mama." He said, gazing lovingly at his newly born daughter before Ami a kiss on her sweaty head.
"Yes, she is."
Shiro watch all of this happen with a relieved smile on his face as he swim/phase through the walls in front of him. Going back to his sleeping body as he passed a few rooms.
Not even noticing a pink haired women is going into labor as the doctor check her over. If he had paid attention, then he would have notice she was really familiar. It was the mother of Otome Sakuragi.
