Hi again. This is a rather unrelated chapter. Short and sweet but provides some explanation as to why Yoji isn't living with the others. Hope you enjoy and that this will explain a few things. Thanks to all of those who have reviewed. Enjoy!

I stare at my bedroom ceiling thinking about everything that has lead me to this point in time and place.
The quiet is both reassuring and frustrating. I miss the others. Two more weeks and I can return to my little apartment above the Koneko.
Why am I not there now? Well with good reason. When I fell and broke my leg and was given the instructions not to do anything Kritiker didn't believe that I'd follow instructions so they moved me in to room in their long term care facilities. A rather large room with a big comfy bed, tv, kitchen, couches and other nice things. The guys brought my stuff over with the help of Manx and Birman. I had a hell of a time unpacking and realizing stuff that had forgotten. But once it was all done and over with the place started to feel like home.
The guys came by almost once a day. Aya would pop by now and then since I wasn't far from where his sister's room was and still is. Fresh flowers were always brought as well as get well soon cards from the flower shop girls. Presents and candy were brought for the first little while after I left the shop. I had to laugh at it all.
He also came by to visit quite a bit. It was nice. We would talk in person for a while and the days he didn't come we would talk online. I really enjoyed my time with him. Both online and offline.
The months I had my leg in a cast flew by quickly. It felt wonderful to finally get the blasted thing removed. I wasn't allowed to leave yet. I had to stick around for 6 weeks of physiotherapy twice a day. That was horrid. My leg was so skinny and the muslce was so weak. But slowly I brought the strength back up and am fine now.
The day finally came for me to move back in with the others. I had everything packed and the place was clean. All I had to do was wait for everyone to show up and help me with the boxes. I heard a knock on the door while I was doing my final scan of the room to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything. He was standing there with a mournful look on his face. I knew something was wrong right away. He regretfully told me that I would not be moving back in with them that day. There had been a slight problem and the water main had broke. My room had been flooded and severely damaged. All the wood had rotted and mold was growing everywhere already. I was disappointed to say the least.
That was only 6 weeks ago. With any luck I should be moving back in in a week or two when all the renovations are done. So much got destroyed in the flooding. The store took quite a hit as well. Some of our best plants were drowned ten times over. We were closed for an entire week just to find out what had been ruined and what could be saved.
So here I lie on my bed in the long care facilities that Kritiker owns. I long for the playful moods of the Koneko and the noise. Sometimes the silence is just too much.


tbc...

Well yet another chapter come and gone. Misura I hope this answers your question as to why Yotan wasn't in with the others. I know it's a little cheesy or whatever but hey it's an explanation. Like it or lump it, lol. I think there is only going to be one more chapter to this. Stuff has happened and decisions have been made. It should be up within the next day or two of this getting posted. Take care and as always would love to hear from you but it's not necessary.
