The next week, Cody's grandfather stopped by for a visit. He looked worn out and tired, leaning heavily against the door with a sigh.

"Is the elevator broken again?" Yukio asked, as he welcomed the man inside. "There's an Elevator!?" Chikara practically screamed. "Why didn't you tell me this before?" Yukio winced apologetically and watched Chikara remove his puffy winter coat. "You should get a coat rack." The elder Hida said, staring at him. "I feel like I'm making a mess when I take my coat off."

"I do have a coat rack." Yukio responded. "In my closet." He took Chikara's coat and walked over to the tiny door that served as his closet. "Oh, don't do that, Yukio. I've been out in the snow all day. That coat is dripping wet." Chikara sighed. "You'll get your work clothes filthy."

Yukio turned around and opened the closet door with flourish, revealing…

Nothing.

Chikara looked from the closet to Yukio in confusion. "Where on earth are your clothes?" he asked.

Yukio sighed and shook his head, smiling wryly. Chikara probably needed a bit more of an explanation than an empty closet.

"I'm moving." Yukio explained. "I managed to get the job at that computer engineering company, and the others pitched in to help me sell this old apartment so that I can move into a much nicer one in Tamachi." He told Chikara, placing the coat in the closet. "I'll be moving by this Friday."

Chikara's eyes lit up. "Then we should celebrate! How about some prune juice?" He asked, gleefully. Yukio smiled, bemused, and headed over to the fridge to pull out a few containers of juice. "I think I might have a little left over." Behind him, he could hear Chikara shuffling around.

"Hiroki would be proud of you." The old man said wisely. "I know I am. How long has it been since we openly talked like this?"

"Years." Oikawa answered. "So many years…"

As they sat and talked, Yukio realized how much he had missed being around people like Chikara and how bitter that absence had made him. The conversation actually geared towards the naming of Prune Juice. Technically, Prune juice is plum juice, Yukio said. No, the juice of the plum makes it at Prune, so therefore, it's Prune juice! Chikara argued. In the end, they agreed to disagree.

Eventually, the old man had to return home for kendo practice with Cody, leaving Oikawa alone to think for a while.

He didn't get far before Chikara walked back in.

"Er…Yukio? Where is the elevator?"

After showing Chikara where the elevator was, Yukio decided to head out to GameStop and buy a charger for his DS. Ken happened to be there as well.

They stood together through the whole trip just so Yukio wouldn't feel awkward about going into a video game store even though Ken tried to assure him that there were plenty of respectful adults out there that still played video games.

Ken walked over to the new release section of the store for the 3DS and picked up a small cardboard box.

"What game is that?" Yukio asked curiously. "Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. It just recently came out and the game is supposedly really good." Ken explained, showing him the casing. The art on the box depicted a black-haired boy wearing a bunny hoodie standing in between what appeared to be a pair of very angry albino twins.

"Basically, you play as the boy with the hoodie, and it's your job to fight against demons and people abusing the power of demons as well as these creatures called the Septentriones. They're aliens that are trying to wipe out mankind. There is a second part to the story line where you have to fight a different race of beings called 'Triangulum.'"

Yukio raised an eyebrow, but didn't respond.

Soon after finding the charger, Yukio coerced Ken into leaving.

"Aw. You don't want to play?" Ken asked, smirking. "Oh, God. I spend too much time around Davis…"

"Well, it is 0 degrees outside." Yukio pointed out. "I don't feel like freezing to death." Ken snickered at this and dragged him out of the store. "You're wearing a coat, you idiot, now come on. I'm meeting Kari at a coffee shop at Shibuya 901 this evening and I don't want to be late hauling you around!"

Yukio opened his mouth to protest, but found himself being pulled across the square by a certain blue-eyed genius.

He sighed. it was just one of those special days.
