Misaki was wandering the dark halls of the Walker mansion alone, trying to tire herself out to get some sleep. She has always been a light sleeper and changing sleeping places was giving her a light case of insomnia. She had come out to London to accompany Takumi for the Walker Corporation annual party. They had been involved with the whole preparation that had taken up the whole week. Takumi had refused to attend the party at first, but his grandmother had somehow managed to convince him to come with a lot of help from Misaki herself. With him coming, of course he would have to introduce his bride to the whole Walker Corp. employees and business partners, which was the real reason he didn't want to attend the party in the first place. Being a possessive person that he has always been, he preferred Misaki to be for his eyes and his eyes alone.

She strolled along the corridors, pretty much lost. But it was somehow comforting; different than the hustle and bustle of the caterers, event planners, and staff running around in the morning trying to put up all the preparations. The quite halls was not even close to eerie as she had once before when she first arrived in this mansion years ago; meeting grandma Walker for the first time. In her stroll, she could finally appreciate the mansion's interior, the valuable paintings that hung from its walls, the beautiful furniture, and the delicate ornaments without running into random staff in uniforms in the mornings.

The corridor she was in had a window that way half way opened to the vast garden of the mansion. She walked onto the porch and found a person leaning against the stone railing, smoking a cigarette. The sound of the window opening made the figure turn around to face her.

"Takumi?" Misaki was surprised to see her husband out there, alone, smoking.

"Misaki? You're still up? It's late" Takumi was equally surprised to see her still up and about at 2am in the morning. He had left her a few hours ago, to attend a meeting with the board of directors of the Walker Corp.

"I could ask you the exact same thing" She eyed Takumi's tired look and his crumpled clothes. She went approached him, raising her eyebrow at him.

"I didn't know you smoke?" She asked him indifferently.

"Ah, yeah. A habit I developed when I am really stressed out when we were separated" He brought the cigarette to take in another puff but Misaki took it from his fingers before it could reach his lips and put it out.

"A habit I would rather you throw away" Misaki said with a stern voice and she put her hand up for him to hand her the whole box. Takumi sighed and reached into the insides of his suit to pull out a half full box to hand to her. Misaki took the box and crushed it her hands.

"I want to be with you longer if possible" Misaki whispered as she pulled the front of his suit, trying to smooth out the wrinkles. "Please don't do something so stupid like ruining your health" She looked up to him, sadness evident in her eyes. Takumi cupped her face lovingly, pushing the loose strands of hair that escaped her loose bun behind her ears.

"I'm sorry my love. I'm really sorry" He pulled her into a hug, whispering apologies into her ear. Misaki returned his hug, feeling his warmth surround her, effectively getting her a bit drowsy almost immediately. She slapped herself mentally for depending on him, even to be sleepy. They pulled away and Takumi kissed her forehead and grinned at her.

"Now I have to figure out a new way to distress myself" Takumi said with a frown forming on his handsome face. Misaki chuckled and pulled him down to kiss him on the lips but pulled away only after a few seconds.

"Yuck! You taste like cigarettes" Her frown returning.

"Ah, sorry. I'll go get myself cleaned up so that you can continue whatever it was you were trying to do to me" Takumi smiled teasingly at Misaki as he wrapped his hand around her waist to lead her back into the house.

"Well, I was thinking of making the stress go away" She returned his teasing smile with a smirk and he raised his eyebrows questioningly at her.

"In my own…special way" She whispered seductively into his ears which made him grin even wider all the way to their room.

Smoking kills. Please think of your love ones.

*waves* I'm not even going to tell you why this is late.

Well, at least some of the things in my life are going as planned. I am now officially a graduate :) But I feel that I should work before I further my study. I'm just really tired right now.

As of everything else, meh~ same old same old. I don't have anything left to say, so a REVIEW will make me happy and brighten my day. Thanks in advance XD
