-Chapter Nine-
{Home Again }
After 2017 World Sr Figure Skating Champion, straight back St. Petersburg for a day or two of rest at home. Mostly Tekla taking over hanging of everybody's awards on dinning room wall before doing chores. Victor against Yuuri's objections took pictures of her with hammer and nail in hand. Recording or taking snapshots of her on a ladder leaning toward a neatest area everything was hung. As she hung framed photos of Yuuri and Victor wearing their medals beside displays boxes. All done up in new frames by skilled hands that were put together by a friend of Zinoviy. Yur was still stating Yurio should have stayed around to hold the ladder or hand her tools. Victor just passed that off to take on more pictures of Tekla and plan their Hasetsu vacation. Yuki was graduating early from high school and ready to move back to Russia with everyone.
"Done!" Tekla started to climb down.
Yuuri watched from a small distance in worry she would fall and bump her down on table behind her. Victor was busy posting to his social media accounts countless items of a worried Yuuri, and a busy Tekla. Tekla was the one on the gorund down folding the ladder and closing up the tool box. Makkachin and Meiryard watched from where they stood at Yuuri's feet whole time.
"Next time, we're calling someone to do that." Yuuri finally spoke. "I don't like how your endanger yourself."
"You skated into a barrier face first and almost broke your nose last year." She spoke of when Yuuri first performed his Free Skate.
Both dogs would end up barking before the two could start up their argument about life threatening moments. Had Tekla huffing as she packed up the supplies and spoke about returning all this to Mr. Smirnov. Saying she would be back late if he didn't allow her to sleep over in his living room. Ready to leave the dinning room we tears started to well up in her eyes for Yuuri to see. Makkachin and Meiryard were the first ones to run after her when she ran out of the room. Yuuri chased after her when a crashing sound came from the hallway came from outside of dinning room. Made him quicken his pace and had Victor hurrying to where she could have possibly fell. What they found was toppled over toolbox and over turned ladder off to the side. Tekla was safely on her side near a whining Makkachin and Meiryard sniffing at her uninjured form. She had openly crying about just wanting to do some thing on her own without help. Usual comforting would take place before mess was cleaned up and offer to take she to Zinoviy was made. She ended of going with Meiryard with an excuse her parents needed the alone time.
Something either Victor or Yuuri would have argued about with her all the way to the Zinoviy's shop. If she didn't point out Yuiro wasn't here and they would be alone for the night till morning came around. Not giving either a chance to defend their excuse on wanting her to stay home this night. She ended up opening the apartment's front door to reveal a waiting Zinoviy without his cane.
"Everything, alright?" He asked her looking in.
She pointed over her shoulder to show her parents were watching her every move from where they were. Zinoviy smiled saying he would return her in time tomorrow morning for breakfast Yurio returns. Left the two of them to leave with her being given time to put a jacket on, and get her over night bag. Victor ambushed hugged her before she stepped out with Zinoviy while handing him the ladder, and calling for Meiryard. Whispering to her how proud he and Yuuri were of her.
"We're glad to have your and Yuki as our children." Victor's hug tightens on her.
"Now can you please me go and let you guys have a night alone." She struggled in Victor's arms.
Zinoviy advised her to not hurry since he wasn't any hurry to get back home and Meiryard just watched. This left her to be sent off with a packed meal Yuuri made for a late night snack for her. Victor would have started crying at her absences, if Yuuri hadn't brushed sleeked his hair back with a smirk. Taking hold of Victor's hand and leading him to the living's room sofa slowly. Asking if Victor wanted to keep the light on for the rest of the night as trail of clothes was made.

{ Hansetsu Gathering }
Yuki ended up covering his ears while sharing a loving stare with Zinoviy outside the Yu-topia entrance. Victor and Yuuri were checking in as Tekla was being smothered by Hiroko and Mari for her latest outfit. Makkachin and Meiryard were sat off to the side of the large group chewing on toys. Yurio was the reason that Yuki had his ears covered as he said their skating match was happening. Pointing out that Yuki was openly standing out on what was once a sprained ankle. All took place on the steps of Yu-topia for public that visit the bath to watch drama.
"How about another Hot Spring On Ice?" Zinoviy suggested to quiet Yurio.
"I don't think so." Tekla spoke out.
She ended up reminding Zinoviy of Yurio's newest rather rebel themed skate routine to the song of Welcome to the Madness. Going into detail about Otabek being Yurio's partner and way Yurio ended his program. Whole recording was found on her phone as she offered to show her brother the clip. Was broken up by Hiroko, insisting all to take relaxing bath or soak after a long journey here. Victor was the one that dragged Yuuri off to the open air hot spring with Makkachin following. Zinoviy was the left in charge of two teens, his young lover, and Meiryard for now.
"Well?" Zinoviy looked among the trio and dog.
Tekla could only yawn and asked where she could get in a nap after staying up the plane ride with no sleep. Yurio wanted food with his growling stomach as Yuki was up for anything after what he been through. To his room his sister would be allowed to taken to lay on a futon and nap like she wanted. A spare futon would be pulled out from a Yuuri's closet and set up just for her. He made sure she had her Tepig plush and some cushion with Victor's smiling face print on the front, when left alone. Meeting up with Yurio and be asked what it was like tucking in female piggy jr. To only be stared at By Yuki while reminding Yurio of who his sister was when she was awake.
"Have you forgotten what she can do?" Yuki tried to not to laugh.
"And?" Yurio asked effected.
Their conversation ended when Yurio ended up answering his phone to see why his PM alert was going off. What he found among his multiply massages was photo attached from Tekla's number. He opened to find a familiar picture of Tekla and him posing in random costumes for Victor. She was dressed in her Ice skate costume of Snow White for her FS as she tried to look kind. Hugging him so closely to her and appearing quite tame, wearing a tiger onesie, around the time picture was taken. Caption asking how sure he was about calling her pig related nicknames, so openly. Had him texting her back with a few choice words of his own before shoving his phone back into his pocket.
"Your sister is an evil Printesssa." Yurio passed Yuki.
"You don't think I know." Yuki reminds Yurio. "I spent 17 years of his my life with her."
"Fair." Yurio would follow Yuki.
They both made their way to the dining room area when a table reserved by Zinoviy awaits the two of them. By looks of his laptop and who ever he was speaking to on his wireless ear piece. Meant some form of business was going down from what Yuki and Yurio could surmise while watching him. Would end when they all ended upon them sitting down at his table to eat or drink.
"A second Hot Spring on Ice happening?" Yuki asked as he took Zinoviy's hand.
"No, just negotiating a deal that will get me a vacation house here in… " Zinoviy was cut off when Yuki took his hand.
"One Katsudon!" Yurio's food made a scene.
Yuki ended up answering his ever vibrating phone, to find a very PM from his sister asking about a second Hot Spring on Ice. Willing to do a group skate with Snow White theme or her Sailor Moon skate. Was shown to Zinoviy and brought a smile to the men's face saying that was Tekla for them. An order of squid sashimi and cups of green tea was placed on their table by Mari. Who completely ignored her nephew and his lover to go fetch Yurio's order with hop in her step. Not sticking around to delivery such message to her brother and future brother-in-law from Zinoviy. That left the pair to wait till she was done admiring or fan girling over Yurio from so afar. Until then, they would not notice a late night guests apologizing for arriving late and asking if their room were still available.
"Do you have a skating rink new by?" Younger being a red headed young man was the one asking.
Tosiya would happily inform them where to find Ice Castle and his granddaughter would be excellent company. He would introduce them when the morning came around to see how they got along. Bringing up how she already won 2 medals in skating competitions and her parents were top skaters. Going as far to show off a framed picture he kept of her on the front desk to these guests. Not noticing the settle way the red head made a grin like he knew the girl already and other staying quiet.
Had directions to their rooms for their stay here and conversation went on about Tekla for a few minutes. They would split apart with one taking their bags and personal property to their room. Other started looking around for anyone being in and would find a familiar sight in hot springs and dining room. He chose the dining room where he invited to seat and greet with Zinoviy, Yuki, and Yurio. Explaining he found out they were here through yet another one of Victor's post. Set Yurio off a yet another angry fit that and off to the hot spring he and Yuri were still in. Zinoviy and Yuki were the ones that left to left anyone else knows that one extra had arrived.

{Planning}
Tekla woke so early in the morning that only people she could find around the Yu-topia was Riesgraf. She found him exiting the male side of the hot spring watching a video clip of Disney on Ice Performance. Ear buds in his ears and ignoring the world around him as he was stared at by her. Ever to his person she would go with a hand reaching out to press the power button of his phone. Had him looking up and noticing the brownest eyes he ever looked into staring back him.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Yuuki-Onna." Riesgraf would greet her with his best smile.
"Are your stalking my family now?" She'd ask rather upset.
"More like your dad posted your location." Riesgraf taps his phone.
There on Victor's social media account, was image of him ad Yuuri surrounding her and Yurio's seat on the plane. Caption saying where they were headed to Yuuri's town for a mini-family vacation. Even more pictures of them coming from airport as they robe over to the inn all together. Had Tekla's expression going from blank expression to one of angry about where they were for a mini-vacation. Had her needing to speak to him about going little nuts with him posting every little thing.
"At least your parents' give you're a former solider as a nanny." She speaks about Riesgraf's freedom.
"You have a skating legend and Japan's top skater is your parents." He points out her parents.
Both were silence when two dogs that has following Tekla brushed against their persons while whining. Remind Tekla she needed to put on a pair of boots and sweater to take the dogs for a walk. Nobody was awake to help her and conscious enough to escort her around the block for safety. Leaving her with the only choice in a boy that Yurio was calling a stalker and her parents approved. Who would agree with her on leashing up Makkachin and Meiryard for a walk with her. He just needed to finish drying off and change his clothes after she asked to come with her. To only find her waiting for him with two dogs on leashes and waiting outside on the Inn's steps. Tucked in one of her arms was a medium bag of Katsudon-Pirozhi that hadn't been opened since last night. That would share as they took off for the walk together and talk about what they would do. Worry about not informing anyone where they were was already taken care by Tekla. She had left a note under the Yuuri's bedroom door and texted her brother what she was up too. Riesgraf was wearing a watch with GPS chip inside a bracelet he was currently wearing on his left wrist.
Left both to explore a small town that Yuuri spoken to Tekla often about when they were back in Russia. She would replay for Riesgraf as they walked from inn to down the side of the road. She pointed out where station he brother would take to school besides building where Minako's dance Studio was. Pointing out how much training her brother had been putting in there just to perfect his dancing. Got a grin out of Riesgraf at imaging Yuki willingly doing a ballet under Minako. Had them moving onto where one would find the Kachu Snack Bar or Hansetsu castle as they walked. Tekla shared her brother's plans to form a skate routine inspired about the structure being ninja castle. Anything else after that was ended when her phone's ringer went off. So they stopped, so she could answer her phone to be greeted by the voice by a tired Victor.
"Just back to sleep and we'll be home in a few." She hangs up on him sighing.
Had them returning to the Inn with one the dogs in each one of these hands and finding Hansetsu setting up displays. Pointing out where Tekla's parents and everyone had been waiting for them. Warning them to be careful since Yurio was having yet another argument with Yuki over skating against him. Wearing her biggest smile and sharing how she liked how the two looked together. Left Riesgraf to blush at the complement he got for being with a raising star like Tekla. Had him following her and both dogs to where a business meeting of sorts was being sorted out.
"We're having a Hot Springs on Ice 2 or not?" Tekla would ask upon entering the room.
"You need to turn your Snow White number into an either a duet or group skate." Zinoviy answered her.
"I'm competing against the Ice Tiger of Russia." Yuki air quoted the last part.
"HEY!" Yurio was insulted by the gesture.
Anything would be sorted out before they all got ready to leave and head to Ice Castle as a group. Talking about how everything was going to take place and who was doing what in this return show. Yurio was objecting to dress up as a tiger and allowing a Snow White Tekla to tame him. Blaming her planting that idea in Victor's head after he some how found out about the picture of them. Yuri was quiet the whole time after a suggestion from someone doing his Eros' performance. Which Tekla asked she could do with a wink toward Riesgraf from across the room.
