Love and Betrayal

Chapter 7: Fight

Both didn't seem to hear the door creaked open. But when Sakuno raised her head, she gasped and her eyes widened. She immediately let go of Fuji and she tried to stand up. Fuji turned behind to see what had happened and was shocked when he saw the person glaring murderously at him.

"R...ryoma, you're back," Sakuno said as she made her way over to her husband tears streaming down her face.

"What? You prefer me not coming back so you could continue with your rendezvous?" he scowled, still glaring at Fuji.

Sakuno winced at his harsh tone. She reached out to embrace her husband but was pushed away.

"Look, Echizen-san, you shouldn't do that to your wife," Fuji said when he saw how Ryoma treated Sakuno.

"It's none of your business what I do to my wife. You're just an outsider," he snarled.

Fuji decided not to interfere but stayed in case things got worse.

""Ryoma, c...calm down. Fuji-san was just visiting me," Sakuno said, desperately.

Ryoma snorted. "Yeah right. Why would he visit you on the day when your husband is not home? Ha! You accused me of having an affair just to cover up yours. So others would pity you."

Sakuno gasped. She can't believe that her own husband had spoken that way to her. She went up to him and slapped him hard on the face.

"H...how could you say that? It has never crossed my mind to do that to you. How could you accuse me like that?" Sakuno replied, her voice shaking.

Ryoma grabbed Sakuno by her shoulders tightly. His hands were raised, ready to slap her but was stopped by Fuji.

"Don't interfere in our affairs!" Ryoma shouted in his face.

Fuji ignored his warning and pried Ryoma's hands from Sakuno's shoulders. Ryoma was pissed off. He brought up his fist and attempted to punch Fuji but Fuji was too fast for him and he was kicked in the stomach, causing him to fall over.

"You know what? You don't deserve Sakuno-san," Fuji said as he dragged Sakuno out of the room.

"Damn you!" Ryoma muttered, clutching his stomach in pain.

"Fuji-san!"

"Fuji-san!"

Sakuno called out repetitively but the man ignored her and continued pulling her towards Yuki's room.

"FUJI-SAN!" Sakuno shouted causing Fuji to pause in mid-step as he turned to face her.

"I have to go back to Ryoma. He's hurt," she said.

"Don't be stupid, Sakuno-san. After how he has treated you, you still want to go back to him?" Fuji asked.

"He's my husband," Sakuno muttered as more tears streamed down her face.

"I think you guys need to be apart for a while to work things out. You can live with a friend," Fuji suggested.

Sakuno just nodded as they went to get Yuki and Eri.

Ryoma went down the stairs looking for his wife. He didn't mean what he said. Although he was unfaithful, he never meant to hurt her. But seeing her with another man makes him angry. Why would he? He was not in love with her anymore, is he? So why is he angry? Shouldn't he be happy that Sakuno has another person in his life? He could live with Ruka happily ever after now, right?

Ryoma banged his fist on the table when he couldn't find his wife and daughter. He went up to his bedroom and packed his stuff. It was what he had come back for after all. He carried his bag downstairs and as he took a final look at his house, he felt a pang in his heart. He ignored it and closed the door. He was going to live and be happy with Ruka. Or so he thought.

"Okaasan, where are we going?" Yuki asked.

She was shocked when Fuji had announced that she and her mother were leaving the house. Her mother was in tears and Fuji had looked angry.

"We're going to Ann-basan's house," she replied quietly.

Yuki kept quiet. She knew her mother was in pain. And she knew who would have caused her such anguish. Who else, if not her father? Although she didn't see him in the house, she knew that her father had come back and they had another fight. Yuki sighed as she leaned back on the car seat.

"Sakuno!" Ann rushed out of the house to embrace her friend.

Sakuno hugged her back as she started crying again. Ann pulled away and led the others into her home.

"Sakuno-chan, what happened?" Momo asked when he saw them entering.

Momo gestured for them to sit down while Ann went to make the drinks. Momo introduced himself to Fuji and told the children to go to the playroom so that the adults could talk. Yuki and Eri left leaving Momo, Fuji and Sakuno in the living room.

"Sakuno-chan, why don't you tell me what happened?" Momo asked again after his wife came back with the drinks.

Sakuno took a sip of the hot coffee. She put it back on the table as she started telling them about what happened with her and Ryoma. Momo was angry when he heard what Ryoma did. He couldn't believe that Ryoma would do that to his own wife.

"Luckily Fuji-san was there," Ann said after Sakuno had finished.

"I can't believe that Echizen would that," Momo said angrily.

"I think that Sakuno-san should stay with a friend for awhile and she suggested going here, "Fuji said.

"Arigatou, Fuji-san. If it was not for you, I don't what would have happened to Sakuno," Ann thanked him.

Ann stood up and suggested that Sakuno get some rest. She brought her to her room, leaving the two guys alone.

"Thanks, Fuji. I'm glad that you gave him a good kick in the stomach. I swear, the next time I see him, I'll beat the hell out of him," Momo muttered angrily.

"I'm sure Echizen-san was just jealous. It shows that he still loves Sakuno," Fuji answered amiably.

When Ann came back a few minutes later, Fuji decided to leave. He thanked them for their hospitality before he and his daughter took their leave.

"He's a nice guy, isn't he?" Ann said to her husband.

Momo nodded and smiled at his wife.
