Chapter Four: Date [Part1]
"Should I braid it~? No no ponytail looks much better on you~ ah geez" yukari sighed, at the moment she was styling seigan's hair, who was quietly sitting on the couch reading a newspaper.
"Do whatever you want, just hurry it up" seigen replied as he put the newspaper down on the coffee table and leaned back. He had to go the seika dorm today, as gramps invited him for a chat. Which probably isn't gonna be something good that much he already figured.
"Yeah yeah, okay, it's done~!" Yukari said tying seigen's hair in a tight long ponytail.
"Hey, are you free today?" Seigen asked his ex-wife who was going to the kitchen.
"Hmm? Amawaka-san are you asking your wife on a date~?" Yukari said stiffing a laugh.
"What are you a high school kid? Anyways be ready, I'll go say hi to gramps" seigen said with usual frowny expression sometimes yukari wondered if he had been been frowning since the moment he was born because it looked so natural on him.
Hearing the sound of the door being shut which meant seigen had left. Yukari went to the kitchen to wash the dishes from earlier as they were having breakfast. It was so quite, without mayura she thought. Usually her daughter would be here with her and they'll have non stop chatter about random things, watch movies, yukari telling mayura about her youth days with seigen.
But now she wasn't here, mayura also become a exorcist though seigen wanted her to be raised as a normal girl away from this fighting in the end what could he say when she made up her mind. When she was with mayura, seigen wasn't here, now it's the opposite. It came as a shock at first since it was so sudden, mayura came to her with a school withdrawal notice and told about her desire to get stronger for a moment yukari thought the miniature copy of herself looked much more like seigen.
Even though yukari was happy that her small family was back together again, she didnt try stop her daughter. Yukari dried her hands on a nearby cloth and went upstairs to change. She stopped by her daughter's now empty room and went inside.
"It's been so long since she left, this room keeps reminding me of her" yukari thought, as her eyes fell upon her daughters uniform and for some reason she thought of trying it on.
"Oh my, I still look good in this" Standing in front of the floor length mirror in her daughter's room yukari thought to herself, then suddenly she heard a thud noise, yukari who thought she was alone stopped posing in front of the mirror and turned around to see her ex-husband staring at her and a little book was near his feet guessing that was the source of the noise.
"Yo, still alive I see gramps" seigen greeted his ex father-in-law usual way though some people might find it rude, zenkichi was long used to seigen's rudeness.
"Ah seigen, i am afraid I don't have good news" the old man replied looking quite distressed.
"I can tell that much by the your face~ anyways it's about that isn't it? Seigen said not surprised.
"Orders from HQ said that he hasn't made a move yet after the threatening letter addressed to you so they have no idea about his whereabouts yet" the old man sighed and readjusted his round shaped glasses.
"Oh~ this is getting interesting, if that bastard finally shows himself I'll send him to the same place as his lover I guess" seigen said wondering if yukari was ready, she'd make a scene if he got late again.
"Seigen be more serious! He's a strong exorcist, you don't have the byakko's power any more, avoid getting into unnecessary fights" zenkichi raised his voice against seigen as if he was scolding a careless child.
"He's coming for me, he wants revenge and ain't gonna stop till he gets me. Missing an arm and no longer having that damned tiger power doesn't matter. If I can't handle him, I should just drop dead" seigen replied heading towards the door.
"Oh and I am taking yukari out, don't call me unless you have something useful. Stay alive, gramps" with that seigen left without waiting to hear a reply.
the old man just sighed, he wondered what his daughter saw in seigen, now don't be mistaken zenkichi knew seigen had a great heart, he was an exemplary exorcist though his cold attitude and his terrifying spartan training and lacking parental instincts was a bit of a problem.
Yukari's face went crimson, to be caught by seigen of all people playing dress up especially when he taunts her for acting like a highschool girl. Seigen didn't even bother picking up that book which he dropped kept staring at his blushing ex-wife.
Seigen came home after meeting with zenkichi, yukari wasn't living room so he guessed he was safe from her wrath. The house was really quite, so he picked up a book he was reading yesterday as he waited.
When there was still no sign of yukari, he got up to check on her. At first he thought she was just getting ready since *ahem* women tend to take longer to get dressed but it was awfully to quite for that, whenever yukari had to get ready she would be running around the finding her missing items which in truth she just put somewhere and forgot or she would flinging clothes in their bedroom yelling she has nothing to wear despite sitting on the huge pile of clothes.
Coming up, seigen noticed the door of mayura's room open, curiosity got the better of him as he took a peek inside and a little blush crept up his face as he watched his ex-wife in his daughter's high school uniform. That small moment caused him to drop the book he was holding, alerting yukari of someone's presence.
The ex-couple had their eyes locked with eachother. Yukari's face was going visibly red due to embarrassment of being caught in the act. Seigan immediately turned away and dash through the hallway with his ex-wife hot on his trail.
"I didn't see anything, I won't tell anyone" seigen said 18 times as he ran for his life. But when yukari stopped chasing him and sweetly asked him.
"Which looks better? A gakuran or blazer~?" He gave up and returned home.

[Part 2]
Seigen gave an annoyed sigh walking down the streets with yukari being her cheerful self holding his left arm tightly as if he was going to runaway.
"Seigan~ don't we look good like this?" Yukari asked her ex-husband who still had that permanent frown attached to his face.
Seigen didn't really give a reply, as he was getting more annoyed than he already was due to the constant stares of the people around him and yukari. Well he couldn't exactly blame the people since this idea of his ex-wife made both of them really stand out in public.
Yukari on the other hand was really enjoying this she really wanted to do cute things like this with her lover though she never had a boyfriend as she was too busy in her studies to care about guys at the time.
"Where did you get this anyway, isn't it my uniform from the island exorcist school?" Seigen questioned his ex-wife.
"Heh, yup it is~ I've kept it with me from all this time when we left the island"
"Which looks better a gakuran or blazer?" Yukari sweetly asked her with a smile on her face holding the two pair of men's uniform in her hands.
Seigen knew this was going to happen which is exactly why he ran away after catching his ex wife in a high school uniform though she was really embarrassed by that an idea struck her head as she thought it'll be really nice to play dress up with seigen.
"Do you need my help?" Yukari yelled from the bed as she was sitting on it waiting patiently for her ex-husband, who was in the walk-in-closet at the moment.
"I just lost an arm, I can wear clothes on my own" seigen replied his wife, though he did had a bit of trouble not that he would admit.
Actually it was just that he didn't wanted to worry more than he already has and well he was trying to make it up to her for all those years of absence in his own way. Spending time with her, taking her out, doing things a normal couple might do.
"All right then, it's not like I always wanted to help my husband get dressed~" yukari said hidding her giggle as she heard a click of tongue and door to the closet opening revealing a annoyed seigen.
Yukari leaped off the bed and went towards her ex-husband who was standing there waiting for her. Yukari took the top from his hand and slided it through his arm, yukari couldn't help but notice all the scars seigen had on his chest. She placed her hand on his chest, tracing his scars with her index finger.
Seigen noticed the expression on yukari's face, he pulled his ex-wife's cheek, to see her rub her cheek with a cute pout on her face. Seigen had a little smile on his face seeing yukari. She gave him a smile of her own as even with her seigen smiling was a rare sight.
Seigen gently carrased yukari's face and brought her head up for a gentle kiss.
As sweet as seigen thought that it was soon yukari decided that they go out like this to which she got a direct no so she decided to make crying puppy dog face, and said a few things trying to emotional blackmail seigen into it. Though he was annoyed he muttered a fine.
So now the older than 40 ex-couple was walking down to the resturent seigen took mayura last time dressed as a couple of highschooler. Once inside, him being not the type to talk much so kept listening to his ex-wife chatter about her research. Looking at yukari being so happy and careless seigen felt relieved however the words of his ex father-in-law were still in his mind.
"Is there something wrong? Your face looks scarier than usual" yukari questioned when she noticed her ex-husband's expression.
"It isn't scary, it's my usual expression" seigen said as he took a sip of his coffee.
"Well your usual face is okay, but when you glare you look like a cold hearted demon" yukari said trying to imitate seigen's famous glare.
"A demon eh? With the things I've done aren't I already on-" seigen was cut off by his ex wife shoving a spoon full of amitsu* in his mouth.
Yukari stood up from her seat and left the resturent but not before stopping by the door to stick her tongue out to seigen then running away.
Seigen took the spoon out of this mouth and placed it on the table. He let out sigh knowing he messed up and made yukari really mad.
"Of all things the things she had to shove amitsu up my mouth, tch" seigen said rembering the horrible memory of when he and yukari had an eating with Arata and Narumi, which later caused all three men to hate it but yukari was unaffected and still liked to eat it.
Walking down the streets faster than her usual walking speed, it was clear that she was upset. However she wasn't mad, but it made her sad whenever seigen would talk that way about himself. She knew he carrier a heavy burden of the past on himself but still... Yukari sighed and almost bumped into a man she was about to apologize but stopped when she saw that the man was staring at her with a creepy grin on his face.
"I've found you~"
