DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE WALLFLOWER IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
Sunako sighed as she packed her bag.
"I don't know about this," she said to herself, "I don't like the idea of leaving Miyako alone for a night."
"Maybe you shouldn't go then," said Hiroshi.
"That's what I thought, but I did promise Aunty I'd do this for her," said Sunako.
"But wouldn't your aunt understand if you didn't want to leave your baby?" asked Josephine.
"Yes, but I'll probably have to do this at one point or another," said Sunako, "Besides Kyouhei really wants that steak dinner. Maybe I'd feel better if we weren't leaving her with Ranmaru. If it was Takenaga or Yuki, I'd feel a little better, but Ranmaru, he's all ready tried used her to pick up women and he's like the second least responsible after Kyouhei."
"Hey, I heard that!" said Kyouhei walking into the room "Are you ready to go?"
"I guess," said Sunako as she picked up her bag and walked with him out to the living room.
Yuki Takenaga and Noi were all ready there with their bags. Ranmaru was there too holding Miyako on his lap.
"Okay I think we're ready to go," said Kyouhei.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay with her Ranmaru?" asked Sunako.
"Yes, I'll take good care of her I promise," said Ranmaru.
"Let's hope so," said Yuki as he grabbed his bag. "I got to go; I got to catch my train."
"Well we have to get going to, we'll give you a ride to the station," said Takenaga.
"Have fun this weekend Miyako," said Noi getting her a kiss on the head as she followed the two guys out the door.
"Okay," said Sunako, "I left you several notes with instruction for taking care of Miyako all over the house so if you lose one you can find another. They all say when's her feeding times are. The diapers are fully stocked in Miyako's closet and hopefully you go thru all of them. And make sure you stick to her bed time."
"Don't worry I will," said Ranmaru.
"Okay, but also remember she'll wake up to thunderstorms and it's hard to get her back to sleep, so be careful, they were saying it might get stormy this weekend," said Sunako.
"Don't worry, she's in good hands, we'll be fine," said Ranmaru.
Kyouhei and Sunako both looked at each other.
"Will you two just go all ready, go have fun and eat steak!" said Ranmaru.
"Okay, don't hesitate to call if something goes wrong all right?" said Sunako.
"I'll be fine, just have yourselves a good time," said Ranmaru.
"Okay," said Sunako as she walked over and took Miyako real fast.
"Be a good girl sweet heart, don't forget we love you and will see you tomorrow," she said.
"If he tries using you to pick up girls, spit up on them," said Kyouhei.
"Hey," said Ranmaru.
"Are we really doing this, leaving her alone for a full night with Ranmaru?" asked Sunako as they drove away.
"It'll be fine, you would have had to do this sooner or later," said Kyouhei.
Sunako sighed.
"But you do you think she'll be okay right?" she asked.
"Yes I think she'll be fine," said Kyouhei.
Ranmaru walked back into the house with Miyako.
"So are you ready for a walk?" he said as he grabbed the stroller.
"Wow, this is a nice hotel," said Kyouhei as he and Sunako pulled up to the front.
"It' Radiant," said Sunako.
"I thought you were over all of that," said Kyouhei.
"No the name of the hotel it Radiant," said Sunako.
"Oh right," said Kyouhei.
They got checked in and walked to their room.
"Should I or shouldn't I be surprise that your aunt got only one room with one bed?" asked Kyouhei.
"Probably not," said Sunako.
"Is this going to be okay for you though, we haven't shared a bed since, you know…" said Kyouhei.
"No it's fine," said Sunako. "Just make sure you don't drink too much at the party tonight."
"You either," said Kyouhei.
"Okay, didn't think you take you'd take your daddy's advise seriously," said Ranmaru as he walked back in the mansion with Miyako. He took to her bed room where he wiped her face off.
"You got those girls mad though that's for sure," he said, "Oh well; better check one of your mother's many lists to see if it's time for something."
The rest of the day went without incident for either Kyouhei and Sunako and Ranmaru and Miyako.
By dinner time however it started to get stormy.
Kyouhei looked out at the dark storm clouds.
'Hope it's not getting too stormy back home,' he thought.
"Do I look okay?" asked Sunako as she walked out of the bathroom wearing a long black dress.
"Yeah you look fine," said Kyouhei with a smile, "Shall we go?"
They walked down to the ball room and took their seats. Halfway through the ceremony they heard a huge crash thunder. Sunako looked over to the window worried.
"Do you think its storming back home too?" she said.
Ranmaru put Miyako down to sleep and walked back to the living room to put on a movie when suddenly he heard the thunder booming and Miyako's crying.
"Oh boy that can't be good!" he said as he ran back to Miyako's room.
"There there princess, everything's going to be fine," said Ranmaru as he picked her up and tired walking around with her.
"Hey wait a minute!" said Kyouhei as he grabbed Sunako's hand and tried to pull her back to the table.
"I knew this was a bad idea, I just knew it!" said Sunako.
"Calm down, I'm sure she's fine," said Kyouhei, "Now sit down, you promised your aunt you do this for her!"
Sunako growled at him.
"You just want to stay for the steak dinner don't you?" she said.
"That's beside the point, I just want you to realize that Miyako will do fine without you for one night!" said Kyouhei.
Sunako sighed.
"Look just come back and sit down for right now until the ceremony is over then we'll see what happens all right?" said Kyouhei.
"Until the ceremony ends," said Sunako as she allowed Kyouhei to lead her back to her seat.
The two sat back down together, but Kyouhei could feel Sunako squeezing his hand every time lighting flashed or the thundered roared.
"Who would have thought that Sunako's daughter wouldn't like thunder and lighting,' thought Ranmaru as he walked back and forth with the crying baby in the living room.
"Oh don't worry princess, it's all right," said Ranmaru. The baby continued to just cry.
"What am I going to do, I got to get her to calm down!" he thought. Then he noticed the storm had finally stopped.
"There you see princess it's all better now," he said.
Miyako still wouldn't calm down though.
"Hey look at that, the storm's past," said Kyouhei once the ceremony was over and everyone was lead to their tables, "Everything's all better and we can enjoy steak!"
"Yeah I guess, maybe I should call home to check on her," said Sunako.
"If it'll make you feel better then sure I guess," said Kyouhei as he pulled out his cell phone for her.
Ranmaru almost didn't hear the phone go off over Miyako's crying.
"Hello?" he said.
"Everything okay?" asked Sunako.
"Yes everything's fine, Miyako woke up from the storm and I'm just getting her back to bed," said Ranmaru.
"You sure, she's sounds pretty upset," said Sunako.
"It was a pretty big storm," said Ranmaru, "But seriously she'll be fine."
"Do you want us to come home?" asked Sunako.
'Yes actually,' thought Ranmaru.
"No, you two go ahead and stay the night, I'll be fine with, I'll get her to sleep," he said.
"Okay, but do call if you need anything, or if you need us to come home," said Sunako.
"So is she okay?" asked Kyouhei.
"Ranmaru said she got pretty up set over the storm, but he says he can get her back to sleep," said Sunako,
"I'm sure he's doing just fine, the fact that he's actually trying to get her back to sleep should say something," said Kyouhei.
"Hmm true," said Sunako right as the steak was placed in front of them.
"Oh boy, I've been waiting for this all night," said Kyouhei.
"Maybe I do need some help, but not from Kyouhei and Sunako, maybe I can get someone else to come over to help," said Ranmaru as he picked up the phone and started to dial.
"So how was it?" asked Sunako as they finished the meal.
"It was great, not as great as your fired shrimp, but it was defiantly close!" said Kyouhei.
"Hmm, that's nice," said Sunako.
"If you're so down, let's just go back to the room and see if they have some sort to scary movie on or something," said Kyouhei.
"Oh yeah!" said Sunako as she jumped up.
Kyouhei quickly ran after her.
"Well thank you anyway," said Ranmaru as he hung up on the fiftieth girl who refused to come and help him out with Miyako.
"Now who can I call?" he said as he flipped through his book while still trying to juggle a crying baby.
Then he saw one name that caught his attention.
A short time later there was a knock at the door.
"Tamao, welcome, thanks for coming over so late night," said Ranmaru as he open the door for her.
"It is my pleasure to help you with poor baby Miyako," said Tamao, "I have nearly every baby expert I could contact on hold waiting to give advice as to calm the poor child."
"Oh thanks," said Ranmaru.
"Miss Tamao, may I please make a suggestion?" said her driver.
"Of course," said Tamao.
"When you were but a small child, your parent would sometimes take you out in the car to help calm you down and it usually worked," said her driver.
"Hmm, what do you say Ranmaru?" asked Tamao.
"Why not, it's worth a shot," said Ranmaru as he grabbed a coat for him and Miyako and followed Tamao and her driver.
Sunako sighed happily as the ending credit rolled for the horror movie they were watching.
"Glad you liked it," said Kyouhei before giving off a yawn.
"So I guess I should go sleep in the tub or something huh?" he said as he got off the bed her and Sunako were resting on.
"Hmm, no, I was thinking we could share the bed, the tubs not too comfy," said Sunako.
"You're willing to share a bed?" asked Kyouhei.
"Just share, nothing else," said Sunako.
"Suit yourself," said Kyouhei as he went and got under the covers.
"So it really want's a real big deal for you to come over?" asked Ranmaru as he and Tamao drove around.
"No not at all, it's been so long since I've gotten to see Miss Miyako as it was," said Tamao, "She's growing up so well."
"Yeah," said Ranmaru looking down at her.
"Hey she's finally asleep," he said.
"Then I think it's best we should get her home," said Tamao.
"Thanks again for coming over to help out," said Ranmaru when they got back to the mansion.
"It was no problem," said Tamao.
"You know its late maybe you should stay the night, there's plenty of room," said Ranmaru.
"Oh I wouldn't want to be a bother," said Tamao.
"Hardly," said Ranmaru.
"Well if you're offering then I will accept your offer," said Tamao.
"Good," said Ranmaru.
