Her fox spirit awaken as it defended it's master who cowered while clutching her belly. The Boze eater screamed in pain until it disappeared! Izuna who had her eyes closed felt something warm nudge her face as she turned to see a fox spirit, seemingly worried for her.

"Ack! Who the heck are you!" Izuna leaped back with her ofuda and prayer beads. Her left hand holding her belly.

"Whoa! Hold it Izuna-san!" Hiroshi yelled.

"Yeah! That fox spirit saved you!" Kyoko followed up on.

"Typical Izuna! Always being mean to kind spirits!" Miki said, shrugging.

"Wha?!? How?!?" A stunned Izuna stood there clueless as she withdrawn her ofuda and prayer beads.

"I heard this from Nube! I think you summoned it when in danger and it awaken!" Hiroshi said.

"That's so cool, Izuna!" Kyoko said happily.

The kitsune had a long elongated body like a snake but had rings around it's neck and tail. It was brown with black spots with a round head and only three whiskers on each side as it circled the expectant mom to be.

"Ahem... Well it was all in the plan! Nothing that the Marvelous Spirtual Exorcist, Izuna Hazuki can't do!" Izuna boasted as she nervously laughed.

"Eh..." Miki, Kyoko and Hiroshi said in unison as the slouched their shoulders and a mark of disbelief lingered above them.

"Well, we better find the mom fast." Izuna said as she began to make her way to the hospital.

"Hey, didn't she say that the Boze was her child?" Miki asked.

With her left index finger on her lip in a thinking gesture, Kyoko answered, "Yeah, I heard that too!"

"Looks like someone has finally become a mother!" Hiroshi teased.

They felt Izuna stare them down while running with her hands cradling her belly.

They reached the hospital as the asked the staff nurse the description of the mother of the Boze.

"She is currently at the emergency room, giving birth. Why?" The nurse said.

The four looked at each other in worry.

"Oh no! We're too late!" Kyoko said.

"Not yet! The nurse said she still at labour. We can make it!" Izuna yelled as they ran towards the emergency room.

Only to see the husband and wife come out with a sputtering baby.

"He's so cute!" The mother said.

The four saw a vibrant, healthy baby as they looked stunned.

"Wait. Didn't you say that was the mother?" Hiroshi asked Izuna.

"Uh.. yeah...I don't get it." Izuna said with a dumbfound look on her face.

"So I guess that means that that wasn't the mother." Miki said in a thinking gesture.

"If that's not the mother then who?" Said a worried Kyoko.

Nube came in as he saw the four standing at the emergency room entrance with a look of being in disbelief.

"Hey! You guys! Did you find the mother?" Nube said.

They all pointed at the couple being wheeled to a room. As Nube also saw the baby was alive and well.

"Hmmmmm...looks like that wasn't the mother." Nube said, in a thinking pose.

"S-so-so what does that mean? Where is it's mother?" Izuna asked nervously.

"My guess is she's someone else or..." Nube stated as the four looked up at him waiting to give an answer. "Well the Boze is a mysterious spirit that even I don't know much about." He laughed.

"Ergh.... Nube-sensei..." Said Hiroshi, Miki and Kyoko said in unison as they faltered their stances.

"So what do we do about this?" Izuna said, gesturing her belly with the Boze.

"Well, you have to keep it in you for now. That way it's safe." Nube said as he looked at Izuna's belly. "It seems to like you."

"R-really?" Blushed Izuna as she cradled her belly.

Kyoko and Miki looked at Izuna mockingly as Hiroshi chuckled.

"She says she doesn't want to be a mother." Miki and Kyoko said together.

Nube then noticed the fox spirit, encircling Izuna as if it was protecting her.

"Oh? A kitsune? It seems quite strong." Nube said, noticing the fox spirit.

"Yeah, she summoned it when she was endanger from the Boze eater!" Hiroshi explained.

"It was so cool!" Kyoko followed up.

"It destroyed that Boze eater like it was nothing!" Miki added doing a throwing a fist in the air.

"I'll look around for it's mother if there is one." Nube said. "Looks like you'll be safe with that around. I'll keep in touch if I find it's mother. For the meantime, stay out of trouble."

Izuna nodded as Hiroshi, Kyoko and Miki followed their teacher. Somehow Izuna grew to like the Boze inside of her as did it to her.
