-Chapter Twelve-
-Hot Springs On Ice –
(Car Ride)
Returning to Hastetsu for another family vacation was an understatement since once more an ice show would happen. Going to show case involve acts of fellow skaters from previous year of GFP. Each one allowed to be apart of the planned performances that were going to happen. Just one at the end of the whole thing as going to be group skate centered on Snow White number. Where idea of everyone dresses as animals was protested against by Yurio, since he would pair skate with her. Otabek didn't care anyone about being dressed a Japanese Grizzly bear. Victor had decided he was going to be poodle and Yuuri was kinda off about being a pig. Georgi was to into the air with Riesgraf's female coach to evne care what animal he to stuck with. Mila and Chris just wanted something skin tight and sexy in a creature form that fit them. Phichit goes with a hamster; Guang and Seung-gi were keeping their animal ideas to them selves. Emil still hadn't decided on what animal he would be as Crispino siblings couldn't stop bickering.
"You get to be a tiger." Zinoviy spoke of the costumes he made for this.
Yurio would leer at Tekla's direction when she was in the middle of humming the tune of a song. Her earbuds pushed so far back in her ears that any noise was a buzzing fly she would ignore whole time. Leaving the ride in the back of a Japanese taxi quiet for where the three of them were going. Everyone else who came alone was busy getting ready for a massive performance in Ice Castle.
"Where are you taking me?" Yurio demand the location.
"What would be my new residence since I am moving here." Zinoviy answered.
After a long train ride from Hastetsu to Tokyo on pass that were bought by Zinoviy from a ticket machine. Tekla didn't object the whole time they walked or rode through out Japan with two of them. Since she wanted to get away from smother grandparents, an Aunt's smoking cloud, and a curious Minako. Took the chance knowing her brother wanted her to get away and enjoy the sights. Yurio was forced to come by Victor since he didn't have anything else to do then practice. He was just sitting around the inn with nothing then eats Porkcutlet bowls or soaks in the hotspring.
"Forgot. They didn't tell you about me moving out here." Zinoviy remembered the news was only told to Victor and Yuuri.
Yurio just huffed at the news while Tekla shifted in her seat and turned her head to toward other window. Her eyes carried a mixture of emotions from excitement to amusement about their location. As her mental state was to busy planning how she was going to be graceful on the ice. She was playing the role of snow white with her hair dyed to fit the part and had costume made. Anything else bout her was to distracted by the passing sights to argue with a bored Yurio (not that she hadn't thought bout it). .
"Going to miss, Yuki?" Zinoviy asked Yurio. "You do have Tekla to play with…"
"You are implying I like her?" Yurio asked rather bothered.
"No, Just saying you like having a mini-me around." Zinoviy leaned back in his seat.
"I Don't Like Her!" Yurio pronounce each word carefully.
He got a smirk from Zinoviy the rest of the ride to this newly purchased piece of land that was bought. Some where near Tokyo's outskirt a piece of land was now in Zinoviy's name and being built on. A rather sizeable from Russia had been shipped to the sight and placed there, as a main building. Anything else was being reinforced and added on until it made a home and work place.

(Naked Victor and Roof Incident)
Tekla and Yuki couldn't handle the scene on top of the Hasetsu Castle that very moment sun rose. Both were with police officer taking their statements as Zinoviy stood behind an angry Yurio taking in the sight.
"At least this a first for us." Yuki couldn't look up.
"Don't remind me." Tekla whispered.
Remembering the events, that led up to their parents being on roof of Hasetsu Castle in a state of undress. Drinks flowing like water the whole time they celebrated the return of the ice show privately. Talking about what they were going to do and costumes that they were going to wear.
"You think Nana knows that Chihoko is a mythical carp with head of a lion and a body of a fish?" Yuki asked his sister.
"Really?" Tekla asked her brother in return.
The police officer would then turn his attention toward the ever cursing Yurio and Zinoviy before him. The elder wasn't any trouble when giving his statement and his side of the story to the officer. To only give his number to the officer before Yurio was approached for his side of the story.
"You're lucky." Zinoviy addressed Yuki. "My scar keeps me from doing that."
"Good." Both Tekla and Yuki answer him.
"Just know now, it there any exs you want to get back with?" Zinoviy asked Yuki.
"NO!" Yuki shouts. "I didn't have time to date or be with anyone."
Tekla was the one that told them her brother was to busy protecting her from their birthfather's abusive hand. Being your sister's knight took so much of Yuki's time when he got older with her. Left Yuki to almost give up on finding love and focus on raising his sister if orphanage didn't accept them.
"Oh Yuki." Zinoviy would reach out and take the youth into his arms.
Tekla ended up taking pictures of the lovers sharing a moment then what their parents were doing. Zinoviy embracing Yuki form behind as a form of comfort upon hearing about Tekla and his past. Yuki would lean back into those strong arms with no worry by knocking the elder over. Both of the faces held expressions of content and matching smiles at the close contact being shared.
Was ruined when Victor yelled down at them with a compliment of how the two looked good together
"I'll see you back at the inn." Yuki and Zinoviy split apart.
"I'll probably be in the hot spring to relax my leg." Zinoviy stood up.
Tekla took pictures of the two of them the whole time they stayed together and then split apart. Plans go back to the inn and stay apart while avoiding Victor and Yuuri for the rest of the day. Everybody else staying that the inn would wonder what the outcome was and looking to the kids for an answer. No answer came from either one of the siblings when they both busied them selves. Attention would have turned to elderly gentlemen soaking a man's side of the hotspring. He was near the large rock in rested state and ignoring who ever would join him.

(Getting Back on to the Ice)
Zinoviy's lack of one certain muscle on his leg didn't limit him into pulling off a duet version of one of his own routines. He couldn't pull off his signature figure skating moves with condition of his leg. Doesn't mean he gave up when he ended up doing alternatives ones that still caught attention. Mila couldn't take her eyes off him when attempted a into a death drop mid-rink. Lands are what got Sara star stuck as all her brother could do was yelling for Zinoviy to stop showing off. Everyone else watched Zinoviy with a careful eyes and noticed elder was still off.
"You still do that whole Dragon and Knight?" Tekla asked her brother.
"Coming from someone dressing up as snow white and having a humanoid animals dance around her." He brought up her group skate.
Both ended up greeting Zinoviy when he came off the ice for a much needed break and an aching leg. Accepting help from Zinoviy to find the nearest bench, so he could set down and elevate his leg. Wiping down the blades of his skates and putting the guards back on would soon follow for Zinoviy .
"Are you aright, Mr. Smirnov?" Yuuko would ask offering bottle water.
"Just rediscovering who was I once was." Zinoviy tries to catch his befriend.
She hands over the bottle water and saying she was here if they needed anything from then on in. Put her in a positive mood for the rest of the day upon returning to the front desk.
"I think we should ask her." Yuki would make a suggestion at
"Too soon." Zinoviy watches her retreat.
Chris was the one that took the small conversation as something if the couple was planning a threesome. Volunteering him self if Yuuko turned them down his usual wink upon stepping onto the ice. Whole time he kept an eye on Yuki with a creepy stare while he addressed Zinoviy.
"Tell me Uncle Chris wasn't hitting on me?" Yuki looked to his sister and Zinoviy.
His sister waved her head back and fourth while taking a seat next to Zinoviy as she tried to ignore the comment. Zinoviy had to keep him self form laughing at the wrong guess about him and Yuki. Explaining her brother and he were looking into the subject of children for some time. One thing that came to compromise on, was the child they were going to have skating background of some kind. Finding a female skater they knew with a talent was hard with only knowing a handful.

(How We End)
Bonds family between new parents and their children was put to the test when Nationals came up. A spectacular ending of Tekla lip seeking and skating was a test of her ability to multiple task. She was switching out between multiple skate partners in the form of animals the whole time. Some she naturally flowed with some when doing jumps and even skating side by side. Others she had to find a pace or slow down to keep up with them when spot light was shone on them. Didn't stop the surprise art the numbers end, when Riesgraf dressed as the prince came onto the ice. Who skated toward her with a out reached hand holding single red rose in his hand. Lights on the rink went out when he stopped before her and put on the appearance of the marriage.
Two came off the ice hand in hand before the standing ovation where all the skaters posed for pictures. Gave Riesgraf's uncle to chance to properly greet his nephew's girlfriend and share he's a face (of her parents). Victor ended up giving up a autograph while Yuuri was more toward picture taking. Ended with them all heading back to Inn and celebrating before plans were made for the December.
"I'll be participating in Russian nationals with Yurio and Nana after this." Tekla would tell Riesgraf. "Brother and Otosan are staying here for Japanese Nationals."
"Good luck in getting a gold." Riesgraf crossed his fingers for her.
"I already have two." She sighs.
Riesgraf ended up hugging her as her tea was refilled by Zinoviy as Victor and Yuuri went off some where alone.
