Chapter 36: The Day is Here
Musaki's birthday had come and gone and it was time...time to move out of the house at the Valley of Peace as everyone packed up all of their stuff in boxes; like blankets, clothes, toys and very important stuff as well as family heirlooms and figurines that was given by generations of Bushido-Akio family members. All of them have mixed feelings about moving out of the house that they had called home at the Valley of Peace for 6 years now and it had brought a much bigger space for all of the kids and as time went on, it had become their lives and cherished it with so many memories that it'll be hard to leave it all behind.
Musaki just looked at the room for one last time that he shared with Summer and their kids and he knows that it had served its purpose in the short time he lived there and there were some wonderful memories that he'll hold onto, but he knows that there will be something more amazing around the horizon with their new home and he sees Summer coming in holding Sakamoto II and she looked at the room as well and she said, "I'm really gonna miss this place a lot."
"Me too. This room was just a great one to share, but I probably won't miss the walls. Everytime I wake up, I always bump my head in those." Musaki responded.
Summer chuckled at that and said, "Yeah, the walls are too close to the bed."
"Very close. But I'll be happy to have a house of our own with a lot of room and for our kids to grow up in." Musaki stated.
Arizona and Sierra walked downstairs while Sierra is holding Jacob in her arms as they looked around the house and saw most of the stuff are mostly empty and in walks Samurai, Phoenix and Tsunami as they helped move the furniture out of the house and into some moving carriages that carries furniture and some added assistance are Ichi, Takami, Ryo, Akashi and Kiba who are moving the furniture as well.
Akashi grabbed ahold of the couches and placed most of them on the carriages and as he went ahead to get some more, he saw Sage laying on one of the couches with Faith and Skyler carrying the couch without even knowing it. As they walk past Akashi, Sage just winked at him, almost as if he's gloating at him and Akashi yanks Sage out of the couch and dragged him to the floor.
Sage growls in response to that and said, "You're killing my vibe here. Don't you think I would've liked to have been carried out by two hot girls?"
"I'm gonna kill more than your vibe if you keep having these thoughts in your head." Akashi said, snarling at his face.
Within minutes, Liu Shang, Taji, Okinawa and Shao cleaned out all of Sage's room and have even eliminated the strong nasty stench surrounding the room and every amount of trash all over and they took it all outside and cleaned the entire room from top to bottom until it becomes immaculate and that's how it all worked.
Max walked downstairs as he saw Saori standing there and knowing that they're gonna be far away just made it hard for both of them and he comes towards her and said, "Hey, Saori."
"Hey, Max. I'm gonna miss you so much." Saori said, cuddling towards him.
Max cuddles back as well and said, "I'm gonna miss you more."
"I'm gonna miss you like crazy." Saori added.
Max gently strokes Saori's chin and he said, "Whenever I visit the Valley of Peace and head for the Jade Palace, the first person that I will see is you."
Saori giggles in response to that and she said, "Not if I visit you first."
Both tiger cubs looked at each other in the eye, looking like they're ready to kiss and someone cleared their throat in the background as they turned around and saw Akashi standing there, with a half smile, almost as if he knows what's gonna happen and decided to crash it first and Max said, "We weren't even gonna kiss."
"Sure you weren't..." Akashi said, unconvincingly.
"I think I'll miss you most of all." Max said, looking at Akashi.
Akashi chuckled softly and summed up his feelings for Max in more ways than one as he reached in for a hug and said, "You're gonna do big things, Max. I know it."
"We agree."
Kiba, Takami, Ryo, Layla, Skyler, Faith, Hope and Kaizer came over towards the entrance and they all piled in for a dog-pile hug to ensure their final farewell and Mako comes in the house and said, "Come on, guys...we've got a long way to pack, so let's get in gear!"
