"I'm done with this, Yuji!" Shana screamed. "I'm done putting up with you!"

"What are you saying!?"

Shana glared sent a burning glare her 'lover'. "I'm saying that I'm tired of putting up with you. You always prioritize everything else over Mana and me! Work, your friends...Everything! You never pay attention to us anymore!" The woman screamed. "I'm leaving and taking our daughter with me!"

"Wh-What...?" Yuji said with a horrified look on his face.

She had a sour look on her face as she turned away. "I want a divorce, Yuji..." She said softly. "Our marriage just isn't what it used to be...It's not fun or happy anymore..." She started to walk away.

"Shana, wait!"

"I'm going back to Misaki City to stay with my mother for awhile until we can get a new place..." She said. She started to walk out the door, but looked at Yuji from the corner of her eye. "I'll allow Mana to stay a little longer, but soon she'll be in my custody. Goodbye, Yuji." Then she walked out the door.


"Shana, wait!" Yuji shot up in his bed sweaty and panting. "That dream again...? Why do I keep having it?" He sighed in relief as he combed his fingers through his hair and started getting ready for the day. He put on his attire for the day and made his way downstairs where his wife hummed while she stood at the stove making breakfast while Mana ate her's.

"Good morning, papa!" Mana greeted happily.

"Good morning, Yu." She smiled, but her expression changed when she saw the frown on his face. "Yuji, is something wrong?" But he was too zoned out and didn't hear his wife.

"Dad!" She waved her hand in front of his face to get his attention, causing the younger to become concerned as well.

"Huh!? What?" He suddenly became focused again.

"Dad, are you okay?" Mana looked at her father with a worried expression on her face.

Shana joined Mana in the worrying, turning the stove off and taking a seat next to her husband and lightly kissing him on the temple. "What's wrong, Yu-chan? You haven't been yourself for the last couple of days." He felt her hand placed on his. His gaze switched to his wife as well as daughter. He could see the worry they both had in their eyes.

"I...I had an awful dream last night..." His voice stammered and was quiet. "Actually...more like the last couple of nights..."

"What was the dream?" Mana asked.

He was quiet until he felt his wife's grip on his hand tighten, letting him know that she was there. "In the dream...your mother and I..." Shana noticed the eyes of her lover starting to water making wipe them away instantly and kiss the top of his hand. "What happened in the dream, honey?"

"You and I..." He took a deep breath. "We...get divorced with one of us always getting custody over Mana..." He looked down to the table. "It's a dream that I've been having over the last few nights..."

Both girls gave stunned looks at the dream that Yuji had described, but Shana soon gave a look of warmth, pecking his cheek lightly making him turn his head toward her. She tightened her grip on his hand while placing her other one on top of it.

"Yuji, our marriage might have many possibilities in the future. But..." She lightly pecked him on the lips. "I can guarantee that that isn't one of those many possibilities." She lightly kissed him again.

"I mean it when I say that you're my soul mate, Yu-kun. I believe that wholeheartedly. I married you because you're the man I love. I know that my love for you will never fade and I know the same is for you. " She lightly kissed for the third time. "You're sweet, dependable and I love you for so many other things."

"Mama's right!" Yuji turned to his daughter who had a bright smile on her face. "Papa, I know you love mama just as much as she loves you. There's no way something like can that happen!"

"Your daughter is right, Yuji." Shana spoke softly. "I didn't marry you because I had to. I married you because I wanted to and because I love you." She placed her palm against his cheek. "Along with Mana, you're the best thing that has ever happened to me. And I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love you, Yuji." She brought his hand to her lips, kissing the top of it.

"Our marriage has been fun and happy up to now. I have no doubt that it'll continue to be that way forever. I would have to be an idiot to divorce you and throw your love away!"

"And remember..." Mana said. Both of the parents turned to their daughter. "If you two ever consider going in that direction..." Mana looked at her parents with a warm smile on her face, a look she inherited from her mother.

"I'll make sure you get back on the right path. I'll remind you of why you got married in the first place. Because you fell in love when you were students, got married because you were in love and decided to have me to prove your love even further." She smiled. "And if you ever need more convincing, all I have to do is explain the origin of my name and you'll be back on the right path. I just know it."

"See?" Yuji turned his attention back to Shana. "Even our daughter believes that it'll never happen. A divorce between us will never happen happen, Yuji." She lightly pecked his cheek. "I promise. I will always love you and cherish that love until the end of eternity."

Tears welled up in the man's eyes again as he turned away, sobbing to himself. He wiped the tears away and motioned for Mana to come over to their side of the table. When she got there, he hugged the two girls as tightly as he could. "Where would I be without you two?" He lightly kissed both girls on the scalp.

"You'd be lost in the hard pouring rain..." Shana said.

"Like a ship without a compass..." Mana said. "You'd just keep drifting..."

He embraced them tighter. "I love you both so much..." He started to sob again.

"And we love you, Yuji..." She wiped the tears he had away. "I promise, Yuji...I will never divorce you...And I know you will never divorce me..."

"And I'll be there to get you back on course if you start to drift away..." The daughter spoke softly.

"Thank you..." He kissed both of them again. "Both of you..."


A chapter suggestion by SuperSonic0493. I hope was able to reach some of your expectations with this request. I think it turned out pretty decently. Sorry I haven't posted anything for this fic in awhile. I was just taking a short break for awhile. I'll try to get back into the swing of things and start uploading more chapters again.
