(Mayune's POV)
After bowing again to father James I turn around and see Koujo already heading towards the van with Akiko in his arms. I smile to myself as I watch them as I follow behind as they both get in the back seat. Hopping up in next to Koujo as he is buckling Akiko in her booster seat I quickly buckle myself up right as Koujo finished bucking Akiko in. I turn and close the door to the van as I hear Koujo buckle up. Though just as I am about to say something Akiko says, "Mommy?"
I look Akiko in the eyes and ask, "Yes, Akiko?"
I watch as she leans forward to look past Koujo and asks, "Mommy why do I hear voices from your tummy?"
As soon as Akiko says that I feel the atmosphere in the van turn and without thinking I ask, "What do you mean Sweetie?"
I unbuckle sense we are still parked and sit on the edge of my seat waiting to hear what she is going to say. When Akiko says, "Mommy, when I hugged you I heard voices coming from inside you. Mommy are there babies in your belly?"
I feel my mouth drop open in shock and as I am unable to say anything Koujo speaks up and says, "Yes there are babies in Mommies tummy."
As if she was in shock Akiko quickly asked, "Does this mean you don't want me anymore?"
Without thinking I shout, "No! That is not what this means...how about we talk about this when we get to the house...I want to be able to face you when we are talking okay." I watch as she nods her head. I quickly get back in my seat and buckle up before looking in the review mirror and seeing father Michel looking at me in its reflection and I nod my head signaling for him to start to head home. The drive was quiet as I bite my thumb as I think about what I am going to tell Akiko when we get to the house and how Koujo and I are going to explain it to her and prove to her that we still want her and that we will always love her. As I stare out the window I feel Koujo grab my hand, and squeeze it drawing my attention in his direction and without thinking I open my mind and send him my thoughts. I send him "I am worried and I don't know how to prove to her that we will always love her."
I feel Koujo squeeze my hand before I hear "I know, and she just needs to know she will always have a place in our hearts and in our family." I nod my head as I acknowledge him by sending my emotions his direction as I feel a tear slip down my cheek, I quickly use my hand that Koujo isn't holding to wipe them away so Akiko doesn't see them. I watch the scenery pass by for a while before I look to the front and see the house gates in front of us. Soon we are pulling up in front of the house and parking I unbuckle and get out once the car is stopped. taking a few steps away before looking back inside the van I and seeing Koujo helping Akiko out of the van. I smile at the scene just as Akiko looks at me, until I notice the sad look on her face causing a sharp pain to hit me in the chest causing my soft smile to fall as I am fully facing away from them and heading to the front door.
I quietly open the front door and see everyone else there waiting to greet us I sadly smile as I squeeze my eyes closed and say, "We're back."
As soon as the words leave my mouth I am suddenly engulfed in a hug, opening my eyes I find that it is Kikyo hugging me as she whispers, "Are you okay I can feel the worry and sadness radiating off you."
Without thinking I hug her back and send, "Akiko thinks that Koujo and I don't want her anymore, sense she found out that I am pregnant." As soon as the last word process in her head I pull away and look her in the eyes and see her eyes are wide before a smile spreads across her face but then falls as she finally understands what I was saying.
I hear Kikyo whisper, "Oh my...everything will be fine."
I smile and nod my head before looking at the others and saying to all of them, "Hay you guys Koujo and I are going to take Akiko to the office we have some important things to talk about before we start her training for today." I watch as they all nod their head before dispersing back to what they were doing before we got there. Looking back to the door I smile as I hold my hand out for Akiko to hold. I watch as she slowly lets go of Koujo's hand and comes up and grabs mine before starting to head to the office. As we are walking away I say, "Crow can you bring a piece of the sweat item I asked to be brought here for Akiko."
"Right away." Says Crow as he appears in front of me off to my left side bowing slightly at the waist. I nod my head before continuing to head to the office with Akiko's hand in mine.
When we get to the door I open it and leave it open for Koujo to close it behind him once he is in. I quietly sit on the love seat and pull Akiko up onto my lap. I wrap my arms around her as I whisper to her, "Akiko...I love you and want you as my daughter, even though I am pregnant I will always love you."
"How are you so sure you wont want to leave me once the baby or babies are born?" Shouts Akiko as her head is down as she avoids looking me in the eyes.
I slowly slips a hand on to her face and slowly force her to look at me as Koujo says to her, "Akiko, Mayune and I will always love you, and we know this because you hold a special place in our hearts that belongs only to you."
I quickly add, "Akiko we thought you would be happy because one day you wont be alone when we are gone...we hoped that you would be wanting a sibling that will look to you. Akiko we still want you as our daughter because we love you." As I say this Koujo kneels down in front of us and places a hand on Akiko's back as I look in to her eyes and see them widen as she takes in what we are saying to her.
I see tears stream down her face before she says in a whisper voice, "So you sill want me as you daughter, you aren't going to abandon me like my dad did?"
I look at Koujo causing her to look at him as he smiles warmly at her and says, "We will never abandon you no matter what. All that the baby means is that our family is getting bigger than just the three of us."
I smile as I feel a tear slip down my cheek, suddenly Akiko turns and looks at me as her eyes widen before she hugs me and says, "Sorry for doubting your love for me mama...I didn't mean to make you cry."
At her words I take a sharp breath in before saying, "No sweetie these are tears of happiness."
I watch as Akiko looks back up to my eyes before saying, "Really...so you aren't mad at me?"
I smile as I shake my head no as I whisper, "No I'm not mad one bit... now come on we have some training to do." I allow Akiko to slide off my lap and on to the ground. As soon as Akiko is standing up crow comes in carrying a piece of cake and three cups on a tray.
I smile at Crow as he says, "I thought you could use some tea and some juice for young miss Akiko."
I smile at him and say, "Thank you crow." Before turning and looking at Akiko as crow sets the slice of cake with a fork in front of her along with a cup of juice.
As Crow turns to leave Akiko gets up and hugs his legs as she says, "Thank you Crow, I love you." I smile as I shake my head at her action while I glance at Crows face and see a slight blush on his cheeks and a shocked look covering his face.
I watch as he composes himself before he says, "I love you as well young miss now if you will excuse me I must be going." Though before Akiko could do anything Crow transformed out of his human form and into his orb from and retreating to rest.
As soon as he was gone Akiko turned and looked at me as she says, "Aw, he's gone, I just wanted to thank him for everything he has done for me...why did he run away?"
I smile as I shake my head as I feel Crow's happiness before he settles back down to relax. I look at Akiko and say, "He is just not used to people being that expressive towards him...I think he will get used to it sooner or later but for now lets not push him, and lets enjoy our drinks as you enjoy a piece of our cake from our wedding."
"Yeah yummy cake...oooo strawberry kiwi juice yummy." Says Akiko as she enjoys her snack. After maybe five minuets we all get up after finishing our teats and head to leave the room.
After standing up I grab Akiko's small hand and walk beside her as we head towards the training room. Right before I place my hand on the handle to the room I recall Akiko saying she heard voices from my tummy. Causing me to stop in my track and turn and look at her as I quickly asks, "Akiko, how many voices did you hear?" Akiko looks up at me with a questioning look and I asks, "How many voices did you hear come from my tummy?"
"Um...I think it was two...maybe three voices mommy." Says Akiko as she looks up into my eyes before glancing back down at my tummy then leaning in and placing her head on my lower abdomen on instinct. Akiko then pulls away and looks back into my eyes as she says, "Yeah it's two voices mommy." As soon as those words were out of her mouth I turn and look at Koujo as I place my hand on his arm with shock showing on my face. I quickly school my face as I see excitement settle in his eyes and I turn and open the door to the training room and allow Akiko to get to her training. As soon as the door is open Akiko rushes in and yells, "I'm ready to train grandma, grandpa."
"Really, well then come on in and lets get started." Says Meihui as she signals for Akiko to come over to stand in front of her. Akiko's training when by so fast that I almost lost track of time as I sat there watching her train with Koujo sitting next to me.
As I sit there holding his hand he whispered to me, "So how do you feel being the mom of two new twins?"
I glance up at him and see him staring at me as I respond, "Nervous as heck but excited sense Akiko understands that we are always going to love her. Though I have to admit I don't understand where the twin gene has come from are there twins in your family?" I look up at him with questioning eyes waiting for his response.
As Koujo looks down at me I see the wonder in his eyes as he says, "I have no clue there are no twins in my family...maybe it comes from your fathers side."
I feel my eyes widen at his words and without being able to stop myself from saying it I say, "That may be true but I cant find any information about my father or if any of his family is alive... and in all honesty I believe that my father changed his name so I may never find out if I do have any family on my fathers side...when I did my research before when I first started to train with your parents I couldn't find any information on my father before he married my mother...so it is possible that I might still have alive family on his side." I say as I look at Akiko.
"Why don't you try that Ancestry DNA thing and maybe some of the other DNA such as Myheritage DNA test or even 23andMe though I do know that the heritage one helps to connect people with other relatives they may have, so defiantly try that one. I believe that those test may be the best way to find if you have any other living family, unless you want to hire a privet investigator to look into your fathers background and family." I look up at Koujo as he finishes speaking as he looks down at me with a slight smile on his lips while placing a on my right hip and pulling my body flush with his side.
I smile and nod my head before leaning it against him and placing a hand on my stomach while watching as Akiko was making tea cup float and was levitating it across the room from table to table. "My goodness she sure is powerful... to think we already had to create a protection charm to block the spirits and demons from finding her."
I feel Koujo squeezes' my hip as he says, "Yeah she sure is, she will need to know how to protect her self. Its a good thing that we are training her."
As soon as the last word left his mouth my phone goes off quickly pulling my phone out of my pocket is look too see who is calling. As soon as my eyes land on the screen I feel them widen as I answer the call and say, "Mr. Zhōu, it is good to hear from you. What is going on?"
I hear Mr. Zhōu say in response, "Aw, Mrs. Lin, I have some mews regarding Akiko's adoption."
]Without hesitation I push away from Koujo as I take two steps away from him and ask, "What is it what's wrong?"
"No Mrs. Lin there is noting wrong I have just received some news from my judge friend you have been given the opportunity to have Akiko live with you starting tomorrow but the final verdict could be given in about six months to a year on weather or not you are her new parents." I hear Mr. Zhōu drawing a smile to my lips as I quickly turn to look at Koujo and see him watching me making me smile even more.
"Oh my, that is just wonderful, thank you for informing us." I say into the phone. Before waiting for Mr. Zhōu to say anything else.
"It's my pleasure. I am also pushing this as fast as I can to go through, especially sense I ran the back round search on you two and having helped you two to submit the proper documentation I am hoping that this will be finalized in six maybe seven months. Other than that there is noting else I have to tell you so congratulations on being a step closer to having her as your child." Mr. Zhōu says as I hear some paper flipping from his side of the line.
I smile as I say, "Oh, thank you so much and that is wonderful news. Please inform us of any further updates and I hope you have a wonderful day."
I hear Mr. Zhōu respond, "You as well Mrs. Lin I inform you of any changes goodbye."
"Thank you, you to goodbye." I respond as soon as he finishes talking and wait a moment before I hear the line go dead. Just as I am about to look at Koujo I feel a pair of arms slide around me.
"What is happening? Is she ours already?" I hear Koujo whisper.
I turn and face him completely as I say, "No not yet, but we have been given permission to have Akiko to live with us starting tomorrow."
I look up into Koujo's eyes and see excitement as a smile spreads across his lips and he says, "That's amazing we should tell her."
"Yeah but first she must finish her training." I say with a smile as I get up on my toes and place a kiss on his cheek before turning to look at Akiko as she is taking to Dingxiang. about twenty minuets later Akiko's training was over. As soon as she was done training I smile at Akiko and say, "Hurry up and go shower Akiko we have to go shopping."
As the word shopping left my mouth I could see wonder in her eyes before she asks, "For what?"
I allow my smile to grow as I say, "Why for your bedroom of course."
As the last word left my mouth Akiko screamed an ran at me but was intercepted by Koujo picking her up a hugging her while saying, "Now you will be living here starting tomorrow so we want to get you some stuff for your room here."
"So I don't get to stay tonight?" asks Akiko
I quickly respond, "No you can't plus going back to the church tonight gives you time to pack your stuff so when we cone get you tomorrow you wont leave anything behind that you deem important." I reach up and rub her head as Koujo holds her. Before he sets her down and I say, "Now go get cleaned up."
"Okay!" shouts Akiko before she takes off towards the bathroom to get cleaned up.
As Akiko is getting cleaned up we were congratulated by everyone that she get to live with us now. Though before Akiko was finally ready to go shopping I feel this urge to call a random number and I pull out my phone and dial the number that is in my mind. I wait as the phone is ringing and when I am just about to hang up it is picked up and I hear, "This is Masako Hara, who am I speaking to."
I smile as I shake my head and say, "Hi Masako, this is Mayune and I was wondering if you are free for the rest of the day?"
"Oh, Mayune, well yes I am, I just finished filming for today." I hear shock in Masako's voice as she responds to my question.
"Good, would you be able to meet me at Ikea?" I ask as I glance at Koujo as he smiles at me before heading over to our bedroom to get ready.
"Oh, that would be fine if you are okay with there being a few extra people with me for safety purposes." Masako asks.
Smiling as I turn and leave the training room and head towards my office as I say, "That would be fine, though I do have a way so people won't recognize you if you are willing to meet up with me at SPR if you are willing to try it."
"Really, okay sure I will see you there." says Masako as I heart excitement in her voice before she says, "See you then by by."
I quickly respond, "Okay see you then." I leave my office and head into my room and see Koujo buttoning up his shirt I smile as I go over to the closet and pull down a box and open it. Inside the box is some wigs that I felt I would need at some point and turns out to be true. I grab a Ombre wig that is medium in length and goes smoothly from black to blond at the ends. I then grab a pair of green contacts that I had been drawn to a couple of weeks ago as well as some lashes while I was buying the wigs as well as some double eyelid glue and tool. I close the box and look in my closet and see the Kimono that had called to me and it finally all clicks in my head. Somehow I knew that I was going to need all of this in the future and had bought it without knowing why I had bout it especially because the Kimono wasn't my size. I smile as I grab the purple kimono adorned with pink cherry blossoms as well at the other matching accessories as well as the obi belt. I place all of the accessories as well as the wig, contacts and eye glue into a bag before smiling as I lay the Kimono over my arm while I close the closet door as I turn around and come face to face with Koujo's clothed chest.
Before I can say anything Koujo asks, "What is all this for?"
I smile up at him as I tilt my head slightly to look him in the eyes and say, "They are for Masako...can you call Olive and tell him we will be heading to the office to meet up with Masako so we can go shopping at Ikea." As I say we are going to SPR Koujo nods his head before pulling out his phone and grabbing the kimono off my arm and walking over to the bedroom door I quickly catch up to him and open the door so he can call Oliver and inform him of our arrival.
As soon as Koujo is out of the room I close the door and head to the living room and say, "Come on Akiko we are going over to SPR to see Masako she will be going shopping with us." As soon as I say this Akiko gets off the sofa and nods her head before giving everyone a good buy hug and heading to the front door.
As I am heading to the door I hear Koujo as, "Yeah, well will be there within the hour...okay see you then." I glance over at him and he nods his head before slipping his phone in his pocket while I grab my purse off the table next to the door before exiting the house and heading towards the van I open the back door for Akiko to get in and buckle her up with one hand before setting the bag on the floor behind my seat. Koujo walks up behind me I turn and grab the Kimono from him and lay it on the seat next to Akiko. I smile as Akiko looks at the Kimono and before she can say anything I say, "It's for Masako." And Akiko quickly nods her head in understanding as she stares at the kimono. I smile as father climbs in to the backrow of the van and smiles at me and I close the door before opening the passenger door and hopping up in I slightly sake my head at almost forgetting that Michel needs to be with us at all time while Akiko is living at the church. As I buckle up Koujo finally starts the van before driving off towards SPR. As we arrive I see Masako get out of her car and head up into SPR. Koujo quickly parks the van and gets out and I follow suit and open the back door and stepping back allowing father Michel to get out. After Michel is out I grab the kimono and hand it to him before turning back and unbuckling Akiko. Akiko quickly got out of the van and grabs Koujo's hand. I smile and grab the bag before closing the door allowing Koujo to lock it. I turn and head to the stairs leading up to SPR.
When we open the door I hear the bell and Osamu say, "Hay guys good to see you."
I smile at Osamu and say, "It's good to see you as well." before looking over to Masako siting on the couch. I look at Koujo and say, "I am going to use your office," before looking at Masako and continuing by saying, "Come on Masako lets get you ready...come on Akiko I want you to see how a kimono is put on." Akiko and Masako both nod their heads and get up and follow me into Koujo's office. I grab the Kimono from Michel as I heading into Koujo's office. As soon as we are all in the room I close the door behind us, I turn around and face Masako and present her the Kimono.
As soon as she lays her eyes on it she look at me Masako says, "Mayune, this is stunning...but are you sure it is going to fit me?"
I smile and say, "My instincts say that it is going to fit you perfectly. Now lets get you changed into it then we can work on the rest of your disguise." I quietly explain to Akiko how a kimono should be worn as Masako puts the new one on. As soon as she has it on I assist her in getting on the obi and the other pieces that hold the kimono in place.
As soon Masako is fully dressed in the kimono and its accessories as looks down at her self and says, "It is truly beautiful, and you were right it fits perfectly."
I smile at Masako as I signal to the couch and say, "Okay now for the rest of the disguise...Masako do you know how to put in contacts or even how to use double eyelid glue?"
At my words I see Masako shake her head before saying, "I know how to put contacts in but no I don't know how to use the double eyelid glue...why?"
I look Masako in the eyes and say, "Well because they are both part of your disguise." I smile and hand her the contact out of the bag before pulling the glue out and sitting down next to her. Masako quickly got up and left the room to go to the bathroom to put the contact in.
When Masako returned and looked at me I could tell she was confused by the color before asking me, "Why green?"
I smile at Masako and say, "Because it goes very well with the wig you will be wearing but first we need to do the eyelid glue, now come sit down so I can do it for you. When I am done I will give you the glue and the instruction so you can have it whenever you want to go out without being followed by your fans." As I spoke Masako sat down next to me and Akiko watched as I applied the glue to Masako's lids before using the tool to create the double eyelid look. As soon as I am done with the glue I quickly put the eyes lashes on as well and as soon as that is done I say, "okay pull out your phone and see how you look, you look a completely different person already."
I watch Masako pull out her phone and pull up the front facing camera and look at her self gasping at how she looks. I smile as she says, "Oh my Mayune, I hardly recognize myself."
I smile and respond, "Yeah that is the point people won't realize who you are now for the wig." I pull the wig out of the bag and as I do I hear Masako inhale as she sees the color of the wig. I smile and say, "So yeah this is the wig, I have to put the wig cap on you then I will fix the wig and style it so it is appropriate to wear with any kimono." As soon as I have the cap on I quickly fix the wig before using wig glue to set it in place on her head I style it so it is a half up and half down look. I pull away from her and say, "hold still I need to do the make up." I quickly did her makeup very simply some blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and a pale pink lipstick with a gloss over it before pulling back again and saying, "Okay take a look."
I see her pull her phone out again and look and I see shock settle on her face as she looks at me and says, "Amazing I truly don't look like myself."
I smile and say, "Of course not that is what disguises are made to do."
"Pretty" Akiko says as she stares at Masako causing both Masako and I to laugh as we gather all of Masako's thing and put them in the bag.
I hand the bag to Masako and say, "Here so you don't have to return after we finish shopping we will drop you off at your place."
I watch as Masako smiles at me and says, "Thank you, I am going to let my people know that they wont be needed and I need to tell my manager that she doesn't have to worry about picking me up." I nod my head ass she pulls out her phone to make the calls I quietly grab Akiko's hand and lead her out of the room so Masako can talk piece.
