Chapter 3:
He smiled at them and walked out of the apartment,
"Eiri, how do you know he isn't still trying to kill Tohma?" Mika said in Japanese.
Rhonda laughed and sat in the arm chair Shuichi had left empty. She crossed her legs and had a smirk on her face.
"I may be American, but that does not mean that I am not bilingual," she said in the same language Mika had spoke in. "But good try though. Lets see… Mr. Seguchi, how many times in the past 2 years have you been alone with Kev- I mean Shuichi?"
Tohma crossed his legs as well and thought about it.
"Too many times to count, I guess," he said, combing his hair with his fingers.
"Exactly. Do you really think he would try to kill you now if he had 2 years to do so, with many opportunities I might add," Rhonda said staring down the married couple.
Mika was at a loss of words, not knowing what to say because Rhonda was right. Tohma, however, had a different plan.
"I still don't think he is right for Eiri. He was an assassin and-" the blonde started but Rhonda cut him off.
"Key word was, Mr. Seguchi, was!" Rhonda said her blood boiling. "If we based everyone on their pasts I know a few people in this room would be lonely. What's more, he gave up his past, the life he loved, for Mr. Yuki. He retired. He lived a lie, yes, but because he wanted to hold onto the man he loved. He couldn't just get out of bed one day and say, 'Oh ya, Eiri, I forgot to tell you, I used to be an assassin who was hired to kill your brother-in-law.' Ya, that would be just peachy.
"And before you say anything about how you think he is not up to Mr. Yuki's standards," she continued before the other couple could say anything, "I would like to think you have no say in this. This is their lives, not yours. Mr. Yuki can take care of his god-damned self. He is 24, for Christ's sake! Not 4!"
A toddler crying filled the apartment and Rhonda swore.
"I forgot about Ryoko," she said getting up and walking down a hallway. "Damn, I should have kept my voice down."
A minute later she returned with a 3 year-old girl holding onto her pant leg. The girl had her sandy blonde hair in pigtails and had amethyst eyes. She was wearing 101 Dalmatians' pajamas.
"Ryoko, this is some of daddy's friends, Mika, Tohma, and Eiri," Rhonda said to the little girl. The little girl let go and looked up at her mother.
"Is daddy gonna be eer, too?" she asked in the sweetest voice. Rhonda nodded and the little girl giggled. She then looked over at the 3 guests. She gasped when she saw Eiri and looked up at her mother again. "Is that the man who woves daddy?" Rhonda nodded and again the girl giggled.
She walked over to Eiri and climbed on his lap.
"I'm Ryoko Miriam White and I'm 3 yeers old. I am a quoter Japanese, Italian, Mexican and Polish," she said looking up at Eiri, smiling. "My daddy is Shuichi Shindou but is called Kevin by my mommy. You are Ewee Yuki and you wove my daddy and live with him, wight?"
Eiri nodded slightly, seeing where the little girl is going with this.
"My mommy said I cood maybe wive with my daddy soon and if I do I would be wiving with you too, wight? Will you be my other daddy?"
Eiri just stared at the girl, wondering what he should say.
Rhonda went over and picked the girl up and looked her in the eye.
"Don't be asking for anything right now missy. That is a big question that Mr. Yuki would need time to think about-" But she was stopped when Eiri stood up and walked over to where Rhonda and the little girl sat. He picked up the girl and sat down and put her on his lap and looked her in the eye.
"Why do you want another daddy when you already have Shuichi?" he asked.
The little girl giggled.
"When I talk to daddy on the phone, he says you is a good person and are sweet and stuff," she said. "My daddy is kind, too, so it sounds wike you could be a daddy too. If I wive with you I could have 2 daddies who could love me like mommy does."
Eiri smiled.
"We'll have to talk to Shuichi first, okay?"
She nodded and yawned. She laid her head on Eiri's chest.
"When will daddy be here, mommy?" she asked, sleepily.
Rhonda was about to answer when she heard a buzzer. She got up and went to the intercom by the door.
"Who is it?" Rhonda asked.
"Me," came the sound of Shuichi's voice through the intercom. Rhonda smiled and pushed the button that opens the door.
A few seconds later a knock was heard and Rhonda opened the door.
Shuichi came through the door and entered the living room. He held back a laugh when he saw Ryoko asleep in Eiri's arms. He went over to his lover and picked up his daughter. She opened one eye and saw who it was and became wide awake.
"Daddy!" she said squeezing Shuichi in a tight hug. She looked up at him and kissed him then put her arms around his neck and looked him in the eye. "Daddy, can I wive with you and can Ewee be my other daddy? He said we would talk when you got home!"
Shuichi was speechless and looked at his lover.
