Ch 4

In Yuki's study

"How, how could something like this happen?" Shuichi asked after Yuki finished telling him what was going on. Yuki was sitting in a chair as Shuichi sat in his lap.

"I don't know." Yuki replied.

" If we are in love why should they judge us. And worst are kids. If Iz is going though this does that mean Tsur is to?" Shuichi said. "Should I talk to him tomorrow?"

"No not yet. Lets get this straighten out first."

Knock, knock

Shuichi got up and went to open the door. Both Iz and Tsur know that if the study door was shut it meant 'stay out.'

"Hey mom. I'm heading to bed and just wanted to say good night." Iz said as she came in.

"Good night hunny" Shuichi said as he hugged like there was no tomorrow. "You know we love you,right?"

"I do, and I love you guys too."

When he finally let go. Iz walked over to Yuki and hugged him tight.

"Good night Daddy." Iz said and kissed him on the check.

"Good night sweetheart." Yuki said as she left the room.

"Yuki?" Shuichi said not liking the exercitation on his face. Yuki sat in his chair with his hand over his eyes and looking at the floor. "Yuki" Shuichi walking over and putting his arms around him. Yuki moved his hand and Shuichi saw that he had started to cry.

Yuki didn't have to say anything. Shuichi know what he was thinking. This was his little girl we were talking about. "I want to protected her to, but she didn't want us to worry." Shuichi said sitting on Yuki's lap as he hugged him. "You know. She is just like you. Never asking for help and never letting others worry about her, but she worry about everyone else. All we can do is watch over her and lend a hand when we can."

Yuki looked up at him. "How is it that she spends all this time with me and you know her better then I do?" He asked with a small smile.

"It's because I know you. You'd by surprised at all the ways you two are the same. Come on, its late. Lets go to bed." Shuichi said getting up and pulling Yuki to bed.

"Late? it's only 9:00." Yuki said "You normally don't get tired until 10:00 or 11:00!"

Shuichi let go of his hand and walked to the door and opened it. "Who said we were going to sleep?" He said then walked out of the room and head to their room at the end of the hall. Yuki quickly followed.

(I don't think I need to write what they did I think you know)

2:00 am

Yuki awoke to the sound of a piano playing. He got up and got dress. He opened his door and walked down to Shuichi's studio. There he found Iz playing and singing. He stood in the doorway and just listened to her sing.

"Out of sight, out of mind. Out time, to decide. Should I run, should I hind? For the rest of my life. Can we fly, do we stay? We could lose, we could fail. In the monument it takes to make plans, or mistakes." Iz looked up but keep playing. "Couldn't sleep?"

"I could asked you the same thing." He cane in and stood near her and she stopped playing. "You don't have to stop. I like when you play."

"I know. I just feel like performing." She answered.

"You? Miss diva."

"Knock it off dad. You know I'm no diva."

Yuki sat next to her. "So why or you down here?"

"I told you I couldn't sleep"

"Yes, but you could have stayed in your room and read like you normally do. Why Come down here and set up things?" He looked at her and she said nothing.

"I…….I feel better when I sing. I don't why, but it makes me happy. That's why I start my day singing. It's like I can't go on living the rest of the day unless I sing."

"What's on your mind?"

"I don't know. I just don't feel like myself anymore."

"Would you feel better if I let you go out tomorrow instead of staying home all day?"

"Can I?"

"Not until after 3:00 like everyone else."

"Everyone who?"

"Your classmates. If they are stock at school your stock here. Got it?"

"Yea."

"Ok now go to bed."

"Alright, dad." Iz put the cover over the keys and put the music sheets away. She then hugged her father and headed for bed.

The next day

"Bye dad" Iz said as she passed him on the way out.

"Hold on."

"What? You said I can go out today."

"I did, but here are you going and when you coming back?"

"I was going to go to the mall with Ino. So I'll be home at about 8:00"

"Ok, have fun. Oh and here." Yuki handed her, her phone. "Cell me if you need a ride home."

"Ok" she said and went out the door. Yuki stood at the window and watched her walk down the sidewalk.

"Wait a seconded" Yuki taught. "The mall is the other way, and Ino's house is to far to walk. What is she planning?"

At school earlier that day.

"Hey Tsur! Over here!" Tsur herd his name being called from the other side of the lunch hall. He walked over to a table and sat down.

"Hey Tin, what's up?" Tin was Tsur's best friend. They were the same age and were both A students. She had long black hair and she was always drawing.

"Nothing. What about you? Did you parents freak out on Iz?" She asked

"I'm not such. I stayed at my uncle Hiro's place last night so I know that they were talking about something they don't want me to know about. You know she has changed over the last few weeks."

"Really? How so?"

"Never mind. So what's today's drawing?" He said trying to change the topic. He went to pick up her notebook but she quickly grabbed it out of is hands.

"Hey!"

"Sorry I. . . I don't have any know drawings today. Well I got to get to class. Later. She stood and ran out of the room.

"Ok, what was that about?" Tsur said to himself
