(Mayune's POV)
Sitting at my desk I can't help but wonder what Oliver is thinking at this moment because of the impending conversation that Koujo and I are going to have with him. I have the feeling that he is going to be expecting the worst but this is going to be somewhat good for him. Smiling I look towards my cell phone siting to the right of my hand I quickly pick it up and dial Kimiko. After three rings on the phone I hear her pick up and say, "Kimiko Sochi speaking"
Smiling I respond inot the phones speaker, "Hay Kimiko it's Mayune"
"Mayune it's so good to hear from you how are you doing?" She ask as I glance over towards the photo of us two from last year.
"I am good...I am just wondering if my dress is ready?" I ask as I glance down at my engagement ring.
"Yeah it's ready all of the alterations are done do you want to try it on." She says as I hear movement through the phone.
"I would love to but, I am currently in Japan right now so I don't see how that is possible." I say as I let a smile cross my lips.
"That is fine I am actually in japan as well...I am currently visiting my mother..." says kimiko.
I hear her mother say, "Tell her I miss her and that she should come over and visit I haven't seen her in years."
Smiling I say, "Hay can you bring the dress to your shop here in japan and if your mother wants she can come as well I would love to see her."
"Haha...Yeah I can...oh mom Mayune says that she would love to see you as well so why not come and see her try on her dress at the shop." says Kimiko.
I hear a quite, "I would love too, tell her I will bring her favorite snack, that I would give you two after school." Says her mother Ayami with what sounds to me as happiness in her voice.
Shaking my head I say, "Okay I am looking forward to seeing both of you when do you want to meet up?" I ask
Kimiko responded by saying, "How about tomorrow at my shop here in Shibuya You can come try the dress on and tell me what you think don't forget to bring your shoes that you are going to wear on your wedding day."
"That sounds fine its still at the same address as the last time right?" I say in response.
"Yep same address as always, I'll see you there tomorrow, be there around 2pm my mom will have food ready oh and how many people will you have with you?" ask Kimiko through the phone.
"I will have six people in total including me oh and one of which is a child so add some kid friendly food as well please.." I say as I look at tomorrows date on the calendar "and that sounds like it will be a good time to meet you at your shop."
"Okay" says Kimiko through the phone "See you then Mayune..." when suddenly I hear a crash through the phone, "Ugh I have to go my Mom just broke something talk to you latter."
"Okay see you then and good luck dealing with your mother Kimiko."I say as I let a smile grace my lips as I pick up a pen and scribble down the time I have to meet her there and press the end phone call button. Standing I place my phone in my back pocket and exit my office and make a quick right turn heading towards my room entering I head over to the closet and pull out my shoes for the wedding and set them on the chair next to my vanity. As I stand up to leave the room I sense Koujo close by I quickly leave the room and see Koujo entering the house smiling I say, "Welcome Home aìrén."
"Its good to be home." Says Koujo as he places a kiss on the crown of my head before heading towards the bathroom as he says, "Whats going on."
"Oh nothing just getting things ready for my meeting with Kimiko after our meeting with Oliver tomorrow." I say as I glance at my shoes sitting on the next to my vanity.
"Oh so your dress is ready?" He ask through the slightly cracked open bathroom door while water runs in the background .
"Yeah she said that its ready." I say as he exits the bathroom with his shirt unbuttoned and a towel hanging over his shoulders. Blushing I turn away from him and push a piece of hair behind my left ear as I look at the ground.
"Hahaha." I hear Koujo laugh at my reaction.
In response I say, "Hay don't laugh you know how I feel about this type of situation."
Koujo responds, "Aìrén, you know we are considered married now so you shouldn't be ashamed to look at me."
"Koujo just because we have added my name to your family registry here and then in China when we emailed the documents to the registry there the same day when we got home doesn't mean that we are married in my eyes. We will be married on the day that we perform the ceremonies with your family watching on, and that day will be in a week and three days so you will wait till then for any kind of marital experience." I say as I hear him sigh.
Right as I am about to leave the room Koujo says, "I know but just looking at me isn't a marital event it is just a way of admiring your spouse even if you are looking at a little bit more skin."
Sighing I respond, "I know I just don't find it appropriate to see your chest unless it is when you are going to bed so I will see you when you are done changing into something more comfortable. I am sorry for getting mad see you when you get out there." I finish saying as I open the door before exiting and heading towards the kitchen. As I close the door I try to calm the blush that is on my cheeks feeling the heat dissipate I walk to the kitchen only to find Meihui cooking dinner along with Karin helping her.
They both smile at me as I enter the kitchen before turning back towards what they had been making smiling I begin to set the table once I am close to being done Koujo enters the kitchen, looking at him I stop what I am doing and walk over to him and give him a hug which he returns as he whispers, "It's okay don't worry I understand where you are coming from I am not mad trust me I love you so I will wait even for you to look at my bare chest during the day..."He says before pushing me towards the table again "Lets finish setting the table before my mother and Karin finish dinner." Nodding my head I quickly turn back towards the table an finish setting it with his help as soon as the last cup is placed Karin and Meihui Finnish cooking dinner. Everyone takes a set at the table and we eat that night went by in a flash all I remember is eating dinner and the sitting down in the living room Koujo must have picked me up and tucked me in bed leaving me in the clothing I had been wearing.
The next morning I opened my eyes and spotted a note on the bed on Koujo's side the note said, 'See you when you get to SPR love you.' I quickly got out of the bed and took a shower getting ready for the day. Looking at my clothes in the closet pulling out a light gray pant suit and a white chiffon top with white heals and a matching purse. smiling I dry my hair, and style it before putting on my clothes and lightly applying makeup. Looking in the vanity mirror I smile before grabbing my purse and shoving my keys, phone, and lipstick into my purse before leaving my room and heading towards the kitchen walking in to find Kikyo eating while the others wee siting in the living room watching TV. Kikyo looks at me and says, "Hay come eat, the others have eaten already."
Smiling I say, "Okay." Before I walkover and grab a piece of toast and put an sunny-side up egg on it before looking over at Michel and nodding at him signaling that we should be heading out soon to get Akiko.
Then looking over to look at Koujo's parents both of which were sitting in the corner of the living room reading in the window nook. As I watch them his mother Meihui looks up at me she then tapped Dingxiang's arm and pointed at me. They both look at me I smile at them and wave before walking over to them and say, "Are you two ready to go get Akiko?"
"Yes we are and we can't wait to see her and I would love to help training her especial if I train her in becoming a Chinese woman at this age I don't have to be as hard on her as I was you. Also Dingxiang would be able to train her as well helping both you and Koujo in training her and technical day care...oh did we tell you we Dingxiang and I just bought a home here it is closer to town so we can be around a lot more if you two plan to live here we can come visit almost every other month."says Meihui as she smiles up at me.
I stop all movement at this news in shock that they bought a home here, I look Meihui in the eyes as I say, "Really you bought a home here that is amazing."
"Yes well the other grandchildren are older now and they never want to be near us especially seine they are in high school so we are often lonely at the house." says, Dingxiang as he lets a small grace his lips while he grabs Meihui's hand and gives it a squeeze as he looks at me.
"That's amazing...well if you want I can help so you guys can travel more Koujo and I can set up an account so you two can purchase flight tickets to travel from here to there or there to here, we can afford to do at least that much to help you two out." I say as I take a step towards them. "Actually Koujo and I have already made an account for the two of you two to travel."
"You two don't have to do that." Says Meihui as she stands up as she is looking at me.
"Well we had planed on doing it to begin with but if this meeting with Oliver goes well today Akiko, Koujo, and I will be spending more time in China." I say before I glance away from her to look at Michel who nods his head. "Okay lets got get Akiko we need to get her training done before ten and it is 7:30 now Michel call father James and tell him that we are on our way to get her now."
"Okay" Says Michel as he pulls out his cell and dials the churches number. "Father James this is father Michel...yes we are wanting to come get Akiko to train her Miss Lau ask if it is okay to bring Akiko home around 3 or 4 pm in the afternoon today...okay thank you so much no we will make sure that she eats. okay see you in forty-five minuets until then oh and please have another outfit ready for her just in-case her training for today is intense she will need clean clothes to change into." Smiling Michel turns ad looks at me as he nods his head that father James was okay with us having Aiko with us till 3 or 4 pm.
"Alight everyone else get ready to train oh and Chihiro, Karin, Kikyo have and outfit ready for after practice we are going to see Kimiko she says that my dress is ready. Oh and Meihui I would love to have you come with me to get my dress would you be wanting to come with me?"
"I would love too." Says Meihui as she tilts her head slightly with a smile on her lips.
Smiling I say, "Thank you" before turning and heading towards the from door with Michel following behind me. We then drive to the church and see father James and Akiko standing outside and Akiko has a small backpack on and she is waving and smiling as she sees us approach we pull up to the curb and I get out and open the back door.
Smiling she gets in and looks at father James as she says, "I'll be back."
Shaking my head I look at father James and say, "I will make sure we have her back by four at the latest." I wave good by to him and he returns the gesture as I hop up into the front seat as Michel finishes making sure Akiko is buckled up properly. We quickly drive back to the house and as we pull up to the house and park the car Meihui comes out the front door drawing Akiko out of the van and to run to her and colliding with her legs.
"Hi grandma." Akiko says as she looks up at her.
"Hi sweetie, how have you been?" Ask Meihui as she placed her hand on Akiko's head.
"Good come on lets go train." Says Akiko as she heads for the front door and heads inside as if she already lives here. Akiko's training went by fast sense we only trained for an hour I then told her to take a shower and lead her to a bathroom.
Before she went into the bathroom I said, "Akiko once you are done showering and drying off change into the change of clothes in your bag and bring out you dirty clothes I will wash and dry them and have them ready before we leave." She nodded her head and went and took as shower and did as she was told she then came out with wet hair smiling I went over and blow dried her hair she sat in my lap as I finished drying his hair. once that was done she ran to the living room and got on the sofa next to Dingxiangand laid her had down on his arm. Smiling I turn and look at Kikyo and say "I will text you the address so you and father Michel can drive over to Kimiko's place I'll text you the address. Don't forget it is you, Chihiro, Karin, Meihui, and Akiko going there, I will drive the one van that was emptied after the last case so Michel will be near by so when that meeting is over I can go with him to drop Akiko off while the rest of you will drive back to the house. I say before walking back to my room and grabbing my wedding shoes before grabbing my purse, keys, and phone. I then said, "By every one see you at Kimiko's place." As I exit the house before hoping into the van and heading to SPR for the Meeting with Oliver. I drive to SPR and Pull into a parking spot and take a deep breath before exiting the van and locking it behind me. Walking up the stairs I can't help but to feel slightly nervous at the impending meeting that I am about to attend.
