The Morning
It smelled wonderful, it was the first time in forever that something smelled that good in the morning. Sakura woke up imedietly with her raven hair in a mess and blue hale decorated pijamas. She walked down stairs and followed the good smell. She walked into the open kitchen and struggled to sit on the stool. Eventually, after a few minutes she sat there and the chef turned around.
"Good morning, how did you sleep? No more nightmares?"
"Nope, I just went to sleep and I had a good dream; but why are you making breakfast if you have to go to work?"
"Well on the weekends I have to go in at 10:00 a.m and right now its 7:59 a.m. plus on weekends I cook since the maids all have... the day off"
"But if you have to work then what about the mall...you promised"
"Aww do you really want to go with me?"
"Eww no gross, but you said. I didn't know you were a liar, smelly Mr. Usui"
"I am not a liar but hmm...you see that clock?"
"Uh huh"
" when the time is 5,0,0 I will be back, if you are not ready then you break the promise and I will make you study until you are 1 grade ahead, do you understand"
"Uh huh I get it" and she took some of that bread he was making and started eating "Mmm what's this?"
"It's french toast, do you like it?"
"Uh huh, its really good. I didn't know you can cook. Do you like doing it? Who teached you how? And-"
He makes a letter X with his fingers, "To many questions for the morning, can you wake up Mina? Why are you up so early? What drink do you want with breakfast? Why do you come to breakfast in thoes clothes? Why- "
She waves her hands in her face "To many questions in the morning" And she goes to wake up Mina"
Her hair tied in a pony-tail and dressed in her usual boyish attire goes to the dinning room thanks to a note left on the desk.
Leaving her room she walks past the living room to the dinning room where she is surprised because breakfast is served, and Takumi putting the last plate of food on a plate greeted her.
"Good morning, how was your first night here?" placing a cup of orange juice next to the plate
"It was okay, not as comfortable as my apartment but okay."
"Oh please don't just stand there, sit down" He pulls a chair motioning her to sit
"No thank you, I need to go wake up Sakura."
"Don't worry about that, she already is awake, and I asked her to wake up Mina for me"
"why do you always tell her to do those things for you"
"Never mind that, does Sakura always have those bad dreams?"
Almost in a whisper "I don't know what you are talking about"
"I am talking about those nightmares that your daughter has where she wakes up crying"
"How do you even know that!?"
"That doesn't matter, what maters is if you know what she dreams about...she was really scared when she woke up"
Sakura walks in with Mina
"Did you know we are having French Toast"
"I know you told me like 5 times already"
"I know but French toast is really good good good"
Sigh "I forgot why I agreed to eat at the table again"
"Mr. Usui! I got Mina, where is the dozen of French toast you promised me"
"Dozen? I only made enough for everybody at the table" he crossed his arms "wait a second I didn't promise you anything"
Sakura giggled "I know I was just joking" she went to sit on a chair next to her mother "hey! Why is this one bit?"
"You bit it, remember silly?"
"Oh yeah"
'When did these two get close?' "Sakura, honey after you eat change clothes, we are gonna go visit Satsuki"
"Really!?" She said almost jumping from her seat "Can we see Aoi to? I miss him"
"Sure, but no modeling okay?" she said in a playful tone
'Who is Aoi' "by the way, Misaki, would it be okay if I take Sakura With me to the mall"
Almost choking on her food "The mall? Of course not!? Why would you even ask that? I mean-"
Takumi glanced over at Sakura's face filled with sadness and disappointment he said boldly "She wanted to go, she even made me promise, you are not going to make me break my promise now? Are you?"
Officially backed to a corner she had no choice but to give in "No, okay I give my permission. What time are you planning on taking her?"
"5:00 pm is that time okay with you?"
"Depends, what time are you brining her back?"
"9:00 pm I'm planning on taking her out for dinner so you don't have to worry-"
"I would rather talk about this later"
Sakura stood up abruptly "Finished eating, do I put my plate in the sink?"
Mina started, "no, you leave your plate on the table. I'm done to so I'm going to my room now"
After , Sakura went to her room and so did Mina.
Which left Misaki and Takumi to talk as they picked up the plates.
"Why do you want to take Sakura with you anyways? Why not take Mina, she is your daughter isn't she?"
" Of course she is, but Sakura needs things for her room and-"
"It should not take 4 hours to get thoes things, so tell me the truth. She is my daughter so I need to know"
"Why are you so worried about her, do you not trust me? You sound like I am doing this to harm her!"
"Do you forget that you are my boss? You are not her father or my partner, so please stop trying to get involved in our lives! Its none of your concern at all Mr. Usui"
He pauses not knowing what to say. This was the first time maybe the second time he has ever been speechless.
"Mr. Usui? Do you have anything else to say or is that all?
"As a matter of fact, I do. This is the first time I have ever genuinely cared about someone working for me. You are a very admirable women for being a single parent and trying your very hardest for your daughter"s well being. But you might not see it right now but I'm actually doing this for Sakura as well. She hates all of the male species for some reason and I want to help her. Talking to her I can tell she is a very bright little girl. I don't want this to hurt her future when she can't get a job. Not only that but I want to show her that there is more to the world then just living in poverty-"
"I raised her in poverty, unlike you I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I am not able to give her $100 dollar clothes but I give her what is most important like love. Something you can't even give to your own daughter. If not then why is she always distant with you? Why does she act in such a fickle way? For Sakura's sake or not, I don't want her to be tainted in your sick world of money. I know I already agreed but that I'm doing for Sakura. She comes back before dinner at 7:00 pm. That should be more then enough time"
Boiling. Angry. Over powered. He lost. No one dared to tell him the truth. No one ever dared to face him head on like that. Pissed. "I understand"
They drove in front of a very colored house the front yard filled with white roses. A stone pathway was exposed leading to the front door of the house. And a well dressed Satsuki greeted them from the door.
"Welcome to my humble home"
Sakura ran to her "Hi hi! Satsuki I haven't seen you in a long while, how are you?"
"Aww you get prettier every time I see you, well I'm doing good. I made some cookies do you want some?"
"Uh huh, but where's Aoi I want to see him to"
"He went early to the studio today, so you might not see him till later"
"Aww man, mommy we came to late."
"Its okay, we will be here when he gets back"
"Okay...hey Satsuki can I see Poachie?
"Uh huh l she's in her dog house, let me give you a treat."
Once Satsuki gave Sakura a treat for the German Shepard Poachie the little girl got excited and ran outside. Now it was time for the adults to have a long talk.
"Weeell, how's your new job?"
"Horrible"
"Awww why do you say that?"
"One person, Takumi Usui Walker."
"Really? What did he do?"
"What didn't he do? First he flirts with me non-stop, then he forces me to live with him, and now he is enticing Sakura with his money. I mean what else can go wrong?"
"Don't you think you are exaggerating maybe even a little? Don't get me wrong, I am not on his side but maybe he didn't know those things would bother you."
"You don't get it...hmm...let's start with this. He wants to take Sakura with him to the mall. He wanted to take her for 4 hours, then when we were discussing it he insults my social standing."
"Why did he want to take her to the mall?"
"He said it was to buy things for her new room, and to help her with her male hating problem, but I think he has an alternative motive."
"I know you are coming from a good place, but Takumi is not like that. Not every man is going to be like Hinata. I'm sure Takumi meant well and-"
"Why didn't he take Mina instead? Why does he want to take four hours? If you are going to defend him then-"
"I am not defending him, I know him well enough to say that he doesn't have the connection with Mina that he used to have. He sees our Sakura as the young Mina. He wants to make her happy. He probably wanted so much time because he is also thinking of you to. Maybe he is also thinking of buying both of you some new clothes. I am sure he also noticed that Sakura has almost no toys. He did help you pack right? He must have also seen how sadly you two lived. I wished I had the amount of money he possess so I could do the same for you two, but I don't. So at least accept his help."
"I don't need his help, I can do this alone. All through high school I provided for my family since my father left. Now that he returned and we forgave him, he provides. When my former husband lost his job I worked...and left her in his care." Misaki glanced outside as Sakura was running with the German Shepherd "the biggest mistake I ever made was trusting that man with her, I will never do that again"
"So what do you mean to do? Follow her where ever she goes for the rest of her life?"
"For this part of her life, yes."
There was a man, A very angry man. He searched far and wide for his family. As he landed in this new country he began to search. He drove and drove finally all of his efforts were not in vain. As he drove into this new place he reached a gas station. This man was hungry and decided to stop. He grabbed some chips and asked the took out a picture and does what he has been doing for almost a year. He asked if he has seen this women or the child. One of the men in line recognized the name and the picture. The women worked in a cafe named 'Veridian'. Finally this man with brown eyes and a scar on his face found his family.
"I am coming for you my dear Misaki"
