Monday morning couldn't come fast enough for Tohma.  He had been back in Tokyo for five days now and no matter how hard he tried, his thoughts always seemed to go back to Kai.  Tohma was seated behind his desk going over some paperwork when there came a knock at his door.  His stomached tightened nervously; she was finally here.

" Come in."

" Um…Good Morning Mr. Seguchi sir," Mr. Sakano poked his head around the door, " If you're not too busy, I was wondering if I could speak with you for a moment."

Tohma sighed, " It's fine Mr. Sakano, please come in," his voice showed a hint of disappointment.  Sakano walked into Tohma's office and stood in front of his desk.

" What is it Mr. Sakano, I have a meeting in a few minutes," Tohma was increasingly growing more impatient.

" Oh…uh…" Sakano adjusted his glasses nervously, " Actually I was wonder-"

" GOOD MORNING TOHMA!!" Shuichi ran into Tohma's office waving like a madman.  Hiro, following closely behind him, smiled and waved at Tohma casually.  Tohma groaned, it's not that he didn't like Shuichi; it's just that he really wasn't in the mood for him this morning.

" S-Sorry Mr. Seguchi sir, I asked them to wait outside but-" Sakano tried to explain, but he was again cut off by Shuichi.

" Tohma! Yuki told me that you signed some new girl when you were in New York! When do we get to meet her?" asked Shuichi excitedly.

" Hello? Mr. Seguchi?" Kai had walked in while Shuichi was ranting, " I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were busy, I'll just wait outside."

She turned to leave as Tohma jumped up from his desk, " Miss Fukuhara!"

Tohma's excitement to see her had gotten the better of him, he cleared his throat and continued in a more business-like voice, "Please, come in, they were just leaving.  Mr. Sakano, you'll have to come back later if you need me for something."

Shuichi and Hiro exchanged glances then turned around to meet the new girl.

" K-Kai?" Shuichi asked.

" Shuichi? Hiro? " Kai's voice caught in her throat, " It can't be…"

Shuichi ran to Kai and wrapped his arms around her neck and held her tight.

" We haven't seen you in so long Kai, we missed you so much!" His eyes flooded with tears, Kai's did as well.

" Shuichi. Hiro.  I missed you guys too," replied Kai through her tears.

 " Hey Shuichi, lets not slobber all over her," Hiro yanked Shuichi off of Kai and pulled her close to him, embracing her gently, " It's great to see you again."

Tohma and Sakano exchanged glances, what were the chances that the girl Tohma had met in New York would know Shuichi and Hiro?  Just his luck, Tohma thought to himself.

" I'd love to spend the day catching up, there's so much I have to tell you! You have to spend the day with us, you have to!" Shuichi pleaded eccentrically.

" I'd love to, b-but I have a meeting with Mr. Seguchi today," she smiled and turned her gaze towards Tohma.

" Well, I had wanted to get you into the studio today…" Tohma replied.

" Tohma! PLEASE!!" Shuichi had turned his begging on Tohma now.

" I guess we can always get you in tomorrow…" he said, almost a little disappointed.  He had been looking forward to spending time with her that day.

" YES! Okay Kai, I'll be waiting in the lobby for you.  We'll let you finish things up with Tohma," Shuichi paused, and then turned to look at Tohma, " Tohma, why don't you come for dinner tonight? I'm sure Yuki'd love to have you over!"

Tohma looked at Shuichi in shock.  He was pretty sure Yuki wouldn't love to have him over, but he didn't want to pass up an opportunity to spend extra time with Kai, he glanced over at her and smiled, " I suppose I could."

" Great! I'll be waiting downstairs Kai!" replied Shuichi, and with that he ran out the door, followed by Hiro and Sakano.

Tohma sat down in his chair and reached for his papers, " Well, I'll have you booked in studio two tomorrow at 9AM alright? Aside from that, have fun with Shuichi today, and I'll see you tonight at dinner I guess."

" Yes sir, and thank you again for this opportunity.  You won't regret it I promise," Kai replied earnestly.

Tohma watched her walk out of his office.  He resisted the urge to call out to her, to call her back into his office and tell her how he felt.  He wanted to draw her close to him, to feel her body next to his, to know what it would feel like to have her lips sensually pressed up against his.  They'd look into each others eyes, she'd run her fingers through his hair so gently and yet so passionately, he'd lay her down on the office couch and they'd spend the rest of the day, there in his office, making love over and over and…

" What are you doing? Are you ready to go for lunch or what?" snapped the woman now standing in the doorway.

" Mika! I-I'll be right there…just give me a minute to finish up," Tohma replied, his voice a little shaky after having been jolted so quickly out of his fantasy.  Mika stood in the doorway while Tohma shuffled through his papers waiting out the time till he felt it would be safe for him to stand up.  It didn't take long for that to happen with Mika glaring at him.

" I'm Ready.  Let's go," Tohma said as he grabbed his jacket and followed Mika out the door.

The rest of the day had gone rather slow for Tohma.  He assumed it was from the anticipation of having dinner with Kai tonight.  He glanced over at his clock, 5:30; he figured he should wrap it up for the day.  He got up from his desk and walked over towards the door.  He reached over to the wall, flicked the light switch, and closed the door behind him.  The ride over to Yuki's seemed short, too short.  Tohma was rethinking his plan of having dinner there, he wanted to see Kai, yes, but with Yuki around he'd have to keep his feelings towards her in check.

The car stopped in front of Yuki's house and Tohma got out.  He walked up to the door and reached his hand out to ring the buzzer.  He hesitated slightly.  Maybe he should just return to the car, he could call them from his cell and make up some excuse as to why he couldn't make it.

"TOHMA!"

Tohma spun around to see Shuichi running towards him, " Come on Tohma! We've been waiting for you to show up!"

Shuichi grabbed Tohma's hand and began to drag him inside the house.  This was it, Tohma thought, there's no turning back now.  He gave in and followed Shuichi inside.
