Chapter 21: So Many Things Happening
Over the few days, Yuki has been calming down. Kaname hasn't even gotten near Zakuro, just to carry her for a bit. But that was it. She was happy. Everything was better, but there were still a few problems. Midori was still in jail, and not a word about her has been said. Yuki was sitting on the rocking chair in Zakuro's decorative room. She loved that the chairman stuck glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling. Yuki wanted her baby's room unique. Zakuro was in her arms, snoozing away. It was sunset and Yuki smiled sweetly at the child's movements. It made her so happy that she had all the support she could have with her. She saw the mail truck was coming to the house mailbox and Yuki walked downstairs. As she was walking near passed the hallway, Kaname was walking and smiled at her. She just smiled back at him Zakuro opened her huge, lavender eyes. She had a light green pacifier that had a girly design of flowers. The baby happily sucked on it while Yuki got out the house to check the mail.
"Hmm, great! It came today! You hear that Zakuro?, your dad's money has come. Whose getting new toys this week?" Yuki whispered to Zakuro and the baby saw the smile on her face.
"You will be so happy when I buy you that toy that you can chew on…" Yuki smiled and Zakuro's curious orbs just looked around the street as they were going back in the house.
"Yuki, what came in the mail?" Juri asked.
"The money." Yuki whispered smiling, "Shopping!"
"That's great!" Juri smiled. Zakuro stared at her grandmother, "Aw, so cute…"
"Do you want to carry her?" asked Yuki.
"Sure!" Juri squealed. As Yuki gave her Zakuro, the baby comfortably clung to Juri, her little fingers touching Juri's wavy hair. She giggled and touched her soft forehead while Zakuro touched her nose. Yuki giggled and walked upstairs.
As usual, she set down the envelope and turned on her laptop. She looked in her drawer to make sure the money she saved was there. She always had a lot saved from what Zero had given her. She bought diapers and all the needed things for Zakuro. And she was able to afford expensive clothes, like those dresses with fancy frills. She also bought jeans and t-shirts with cute sayings. She smiled to herself, remembering a mean, rather weird memory.
Flashback
Yuki was at the mall, carrying her baby. She was with Juri, Yuriko, Yuka, Kaname, and her father. They were in this one store with baby clothes. There were many cute clothes that made Yuki squeal, while Zakuro, not knowing any better, just looked around because of the unfamiliar place. Yuki giggled.
"Yuki, take a look at this dress!" Yuriko pointed out. It was a purple dress with little flowers at the bottom, and at the top, the plaid sleeves. It was very cute and rather looked like a springtime dress.
"That is so cute." Yuki sang, and Zakuro clapped her hands.
"Yuki, why don't you look at this shirt?" Kaname was showing her. It was a shirt with a 'kindergarten' drawing of a little girl, and mom and a dad. There was labels above them. Above the mom was labeled, 'mom'. Above the little girl was labeled 'me' and the dad was labeled 'Asshole'.
"That's so mean!" Yuki coughed. Juri started laughing.
"Zero is not an asshole!" Yuki turned around, a little angry because Kaname was indirectly insulted the love of her life.
"Kaname, don't make fun of him just because you hate him." the chairman sighed and Kaname was quiet.
Back to now
Now, Yuki was just laughing it off. She remembered how angry she was. But she was scared of getting angry with Kaname, or else there would be problems, and she didn't want anything happening.
She went online and saw that Zero was online as well.
Yuki and Zero talking online
Yuki: Hi!
Zero: Hey. Did you get the check?
Yuki: Yes. I don't know how to thank you Zero…
Zero: don't thank me. it's the only way I can support you without Kaname knowing.
Yuki: Zero… Are you free tonight?
Zero: Yeah, why?
Yuki: Do you want to go on a date tonight? Unless you wouldn't want to go with me…
Zero: of course I would want to go with you.
Yuki: great! So tonight! I will jump out my window.
Zero: Are you sure?
Yuki: yeah! Do you want Zakuro to come along?
Zero: yeah!
Yuki: I know, you really want to see her. By the looks of it, she really wants to see you as much as I do.
Zero: yeah, I want to hold her… and… kiss you
Yuki: me too Zero (blushing)
Zero: yeah, at what time?
Yuki: 9 tonight. On second thought I won't be jumping out my window. I don't want to risk hurting Zakuro by jumping out like nothing.
Zero: Good idea. You are much more responsible….
Yuki: Really? You too Zero. I just know it! (:
Zero: thanks…
Yuki: your welcome… Hey, I gotta go. I am going to take a bubble bath with Zakuro. I bet that you would want to watch! Lol
Zero: Uh.. No. but okay, see you later. (blushed but didn't type that in)
Yuki turned off her laptop as she saw Kaname knocking on the door.
"Yuki, may I come in?" he asked.
"Sure."
"Yuki, you seem sad.."
"I am really happy actually."
"Even without Zero?" he questioned.
"Yup." Yuki lied with a sad smile on her face.
"Oh, I was checking on you. You know, you worry me more than anyone." he sighed.
"Oh, well my baby is my worry in the world more than anyone. I think Zero might feel the same…" Yuki sighed in some relief.
Kaname just looked jealous and walked out, smirking for some odd reason.
Yuki took a deep breath, "What to do…"
In Jail
It was cold and empty, rather quiet. It was not that late at night and Midori was on her dirty bed. The cops made them go to sleep early, but they were exhausted anyway after smashing rocks, nonstop. She sat up and looked at all the cuts she had on her wrist, so many bad memories. She couldn't take it anymore. Life in a dark cell was the worst that could have ever happened.
"Where did I go wrong?" she sighed, tears coming out from her eyes. She was going crazy, and the way the buff women looked at her during the day, when they would work smashing boulders. She hated it that they would glare at her, and give her dirty looks, as if they wanted to do things to her. She got up from her bed and looked under the bed of her room mate for a certain object.
Flashback
Her room mate was sharpening her pocket knife. It was so sharp, so deadly.
"What are you doing with that?" Midori shouted, a little afraid of the unpredictable girl in front of her.
"Calm down chick. I aint gonna hurt ya." she grinned.
"What?"
"I am sharpening dis knife so we can escape." she sighed.
"Oh," Midori paused, "Where are you going to hide it? If the guards catch you with that…"
"Nobody really cares here. I am just leaving it under my bed!" she shouted and left it there…
Back to now
Midori was looking at the knife. It was so sharp that it almost scared her. She held the knife with both hands towards her, but she hesitated a bit.
"What's the point of life now?…" she sobbed to herself. She remembered all those flashbacks that she had lived in life. The good times, and the bad times. Her whole life was literally flashing through her eyes, trying to tell her something, but she didn't listen… She stabbed herself in the chest. The first time she stabbed herself, she didn't feel it so fatal. So she stabbed herself again and she was turning pale, for the life of her was fading through every stab. After stabbing herself a few times with the strength she had left, she dies on the ground. And there lay Midori dead, for the rest of the night, with a smile in her face, her eyes widened…
At Yuki's house
Yuki was taking a bubble bath. It was kind of late, just like 8:15.
"You know, right now you will see your daddy." Yuki whispered to Zakuro. Zakuro just splashed and had bubbles on her hand. Randomly, she put some bubbles on Yuki's collar bone. She giggled as she held her baby, relaxing. She was feeling all her worries go melt away, and just looked at Zakuro and kissed her forehead. The baby's silver hair was neat and silky, because Yuki ran her fingers through her silver strands. Zakuro moved a lot because Yuki's caressing had made her a little nervous.
"Sorry." Yuki apologized and Zakuro touched her nose with her index finger. It was calm and funny that Zakuro was acting clumsy for some odd reason. They were giggling and Yuki smiled at her baby that she loved so much.
At Zero's Home
Zero was staring into space at home in the shower. He was so focused in his thoughts that when the water turned ridiculously cold, he didn't notice until 3 minutes later. He was really quiet and just kept think about Yuki. He couldn't wait to see her along with his daughter.
As soon as he was done taking his shower, he got ready. He was wearing a gray long-sleeve and black pants. His hair was the same and he was putting on deodorant when Yagari barged in the bathroom.
"What the hell?" Zero shouted and Yagari just looked at him and closed the door. He just sighed in annoyance and continued getting ready, feeling the excitement of seeing his child and Yuki. For some odd reason he shaved his armpits..
Flashback
"Zero, do you shave your armpits?" Yuki playfully asked, somewhat joking.
"Yeah." he admitted.
"What?" Yuki burst into laughter.
"It bothers me, what, I can't shave my armpits because I'm a guy?" he questioned and Yuki held onto his arm.
"No, I like you just the way you are…" she happily smiled.
Back to now
He thought Yuki bursting into laughter was cute of her. It was random and he liked being honest with her.
At Yuki's House
"Come on Zakuro, smile for me." Yuki playfully grinned as she tickeled her baby. She was only wearing a diaper and she was standing on the bed, obviously holding onto Yuki.
Zakuro smiled and randomly made a faint squealing noise. Yuki squealed too and made sure to put her camera in her bag.
"Look at this dress Zakuro," Yuki held up a purple dress that looked so nice, "You know, it's summer and its hot at night."
Zakuro touched the fabric of her pretty dress and looked up at Yuki. Yuki just helped her putting it on and kissed her little forehead.
"Zakuro sat up on the bed and Yuki gave her the teddy bear for entertainment while she picked out her own clothes. The baby put her fingers on the purple bow and kept focused on her teddy bear.
Yuki was wearing a white shirt that was kind of like a t-shirt but not quite. She had on a skirt that was up to her stomach. So her outfit looked like a dress, but it wasn't. she put on a black bow to the side of her hair. She had black slip on shoes that were very pretty. She herself looked really nice. She was sure to put lotion on her soft legs.
As for Zakuro, she had on that purple dress and a small purple bow on the right side of her head. She had small white sandals on her pale feet, and she looked so cute! Yuki also rubbed baby lotion on her.
Juri knocked on Yuki's door.
"Where are you going tonight?" Juri asked with a smile on her face.
"I am going to see Zero, with Zakuro." Yuki whispered, closing the door.
"Oh Yuki, I hope you have fun." she smiled and caressed her cheek. Yuki nodded and Zakuro crawled to Juri. She the squealed again. She started crawling these passed months and squealing, for she was nine months old.
"Oh, you are so cute!" Jurii sighed and carried the child in her arms. She smelled Zakuro's head and it smelled like baby shampoo, the smell of fresh strawberries.
Zero at Home
He was already heading out the door without telling Yagari anything at all. Yagari didn't even notice him gone anyway.
The night was kind of hot, and the wind felt good for such the breeze of the summer night. It was the perfect weather for the time. Zero just walked on, feeling instant happiness. He was walking to the park and he sat down on the bench. Yuki told him that of they were ever to meet, it would be there. That park was so close, and so full of childhood memories that would never ever come back.
With Yuki
Yuki said bye to her mom. As Juri went to distract Kaname, she ran out the door with Zakuro and giggled as the door closed behind them.
"Aren't you happy?" Yuki asked Zakuro. She smiled and touched her nose and clapped her hands.
They were still walking on, to the park.
In Jail
Midori's jail mate woke up and looked around the cell, the tiny cramped room. She saw Midori on the ground, all dead bleeding.
"Holy shit!" she shouted and the guard heard and ran to the cell.
"Midori shanked herself!" she yelled, not wanting to get near.
"A dead person here!" the guard shouted and they took Midori out. And whatever happened to her body, was unknown…
At the Park
"Zero!" Yuki shouted and ran to him. Zero caught sight of her and hugged her, with the baby as well.
"Yuki." he sighed and looked into her eyes. Zakuro reached her hands up to him and he carried her.
"Hey there." Zero spoke to Zakuro and she lightly slapped his cheek.
Yuki smiled and looked at Zero. He looked really good and she smiled. Zero was checking Yuki out. Zakuro noticed him looking at Yuki and looked at her too, mimicking him.
"What's going on?" Yuki blushed, and Zero looked away.
"Nothing, let's go." he blushed and they walked on, holding hands.
Zero was so happy to be holding his baby in his arms. She was happy to be held by her dad. She touched his neck and started looking at the familiar tattoo that amused her for some odd reason.
They were walking to a restaurant and it was an expensive one. Yuki just smiled. It was the three of them, Zakuro sitting in a baby chair. Yuki laughed at her facial expressions and Zero smiled.
"Hello, welcome to, 'A Restaurant' how may I take your order?" the lady asked.
"I would like a salad with variety and croutons. And some pink lemonade." Yuki said.
"What she said." Zero paused, "But water to drink."
"Alright." the waitress smiled and walked away. Zero looked at Zakuro, who was looking at her hands. She was curious about the pink bracelet she had on with her name on it in blue letters. Then she looked up and noticed both her parents were looking at her. She looked back and forth and then back down at her bracelet. Yuki started laughing and Zero smirked. Then Zero got a call from Yagari.
"Hello?" he called through the phone.
"Zero, Midori died." he sighed.
"Why are you telling me this?" Zero sighed and Yagari said something but wasn't sure what it was.
"Okay, just to let you know. You will never see her again."
"Alright, bye." Zero said and hung up.
"What happened?" Yuki questioned.
"Midori died." he told her. Yuki had a shocked facial expression, her hand covering her mouth. Zero just looked at her, not feeling bad, not even caring.
"How did she die?" Yuki asked, looking down. Even though Midori has done horrible things to her and Zakuro, she was still a person. Zzakuro stared at Zero and he looked back.
"Here is your food." the waitress smiled as she layed the food down. She then eyed Zakuro, "Well, isn't that a little cutie you both got there."
"Yeah.." Yuki smiled and Zakuro stared at her flower design was really distracting.
"Zero, I don't know what to say. Poor Midori…" she looked down.
"Why are you sad? What about all the things she has done to the both of you guys." he was getting loud.
"Zero, she was still a person…"
"Whatever…"
"Ehhhh…" Zakuro was looking down at the ground.
"Aww!" Yuki smiled. Zero touched her silver hair and lightly smiled at his child. He grabbed his hand with both of her hands. As most people were passing by, they were distracted by Zakuro's cuteness, and the color of her hair. Yuki reached in her purse and grabbed her inhaler because Zakuro looked like she needed to breathe. The baby breathed from her inhaler and the people who were looking felt sorry for her.
As they ate, they kept talking about how life was. Zero sounded like he was in a good mood. He talked about work and those annoying chicks still talking about him. It was annoying to him that they checked him out. Yuki giggled, knowing they were jealous.
Yuki talked about life at home with Zakuro and their visits to the mall. She loved to shop and all those girly things. They were actually happy to see each other. They changed the subject, because Yuki didn't want to talk about the death of Midori. She smiled a lot and laughed about Zero's stories at work. Zakuro just stared at a girl her age who glared at her. Zakuro reached Zero's hand and tapped it. She pointed at the girl and Zero glared back, scaring her. Zakuro was only a baby, but sure she was smart. Yuki saw that these older women were looking at her, noticing that she was a teen mom. She tried her best to ignore and smiled at Zero.
"Has Zakuro started walking?" he asked.
"She has been really lazy, even in her baby walker." Yuki sighed.
"From who did she get that laziness?" Zero asked. Yuki looked at him. He gave her that same look back. She just ended up laughing.
"I am going to help her. Someday, I will be sure to record her first steps." Yuki smiled at Zakuro. Zakuro clapped.
"Well, this is calm…" Yuki smiled.
"1 down, 1 more to go." Zero randomly said out loud.
"What do you mean?" Yuki questioned, a little puzzled.
"Midori is gone, and now we need Kaname." he explained. Yuki smirked.
As they walked out the restaurant, after Zero paid (obviously), they went walking, while Zakuro was being carried by her dad. They smiled and Yuki kissed Zero in front of Zakuro. But she knew that Zakuro wouldn't remember. She was just a baby. Zakuro started pointing at a hobo and Zero grabbed her hand gently, making sure not to hurt her. But he was correcting her.
"Zakuro, it's not polite to point." Zero whispered and Zakuro put her hand down, as if she understood, even though she put her hand down for fun.
"Good job Zero." Yuki smiled, with her thumbs up. The hobo ran to Zero.
"Hey, do you have any change or money? I…. need money!" he yelled, with his raspy voice. Zero grabbed Yuki's hand and was walking away. The hobo grabbed Yuki and touched her breast. Zero punched that guy as hard as he could, making his nose bleed and Zakuro punched the air.
"That's for defense." Zero explained to her. She looked at him.
"Why are hoboes always sneaking up on us?" Yuki yelled.
"That guy's beard disturbed me." Zero sighed and Yuki giggled. She looked so pretty smiling like that.
They kept walking. They were happy. Yuki and Zero kissed a lot more times. They were sort of making out. Zakuro fell asleep.
"I love you." Yuki smiled.
"Me too." his hands were on her shoulders. The rest of the date was really nice. They walked and talked to each other more than ever, bringing up good memories from the academy. Yuki sort of wanted to cry just talking about that, so Zero just changed the subject.
They went to stores and Yuki was going to buy some things but Zero didn't let her spend any of her own money. He bought it instead. Zakuro had her eyes on many toys and Zero bought them, making his baby happy. She kissed his cheek and hugged him. Yuki squealed at the cuteness.
It was then 10:24 and Zero was walking Yuki home. Yuki was walking next to him, while he was holding Zakuro. She was so little and when they were in front of the house, she kissed his cheek.
"I love you Zakuro." he told her. She smiled and grabbed his hair. It wasn't tangled, so her hands just slipped through.
"Bye Zero." Yuki sighed.
"Bye." he kissed her passionately on the lips and their kiss lasted 5-7 seconds. Yuki ran back in the house with Zakuro. Kaname was looking at Yuki.
"Yuki, where have you been?"
