It was already early when Yugi and Anzu got up for the day. Since Yugi had to be at work at 8:30, and Anzu was on the morning news, they normally got up at 6:30, but today they made an exception. It was almost 7:00, and Yugi was talking to somebody at Industrial Illusions, trying to cancel his meetings. He was successful in doing so, when Anzu walked into the kitchen. She smiled, and Yugi kissed her, "Good morning. How'd you sleep?"

Anzu kissed him, and replyed, "About the same as you. I was worried that Misaki would wake up, and start crying, so I would go check on her every so often. Do you think we should wake her now?" Yugi nodded, "Yeah, we should. We need to talk to her as well." Yugi then asked the cook to whip up some hot oatmeal, and when this was finished, Anzu and Yugi walked upstairs with the tray of food.

Meanwhile, Misaki had just woken up, and she was wondering where she was. Her new room was bigger than the one she had at Aunt Shoko's house. There was a window that looked out over a wooded back yard. The room was spacious, with bookshelves filled with books about anything you could ever think of. There were some china statues, as well as some other nice objects that decorated the room. Thankfully, there were no spiders in sight.

Just then, the door opened, and a pleasant, female voice said, "Misaki, are you awake?" Misaki turned around, "Who are you?" She then recognized Yugi, as he walked in. She smiled. "Good morning, Mr. Moto. Is she your wife," Misaki asked curiously. Yugi nodded, "Yes, she is. By the way, just call me Yugi, okay?" The little girl nodded, "Okay. Where am I?" Anzu sat down on the sleigh bed next to Misaki, "Your at our house, Misaki. You're staying with us now."

Misaki nodded, as Yugi handed her the bowl of oatmeal. She looked up, "Am I going to school, and what's going to happen to Aunt Shoko's body?" Anzu said, "Well, Yugi talked to your principal, and he said that you need some time off, to feel better about all this. Also, you need to build up your strength a bit, because you lost a lot of blood from when you were shot last night."

Misaki took this into consideration, "Okay, but have the cops caught the bad guy yet?" Yugi nodded, "Not yet, Misaki." Misaki crawled into Yugi's lap, "I hope they do soon, and they send a big spider in with him so he can eaten." Yugi laughed, "So, your scared of spiders?" "Yes," Misaki pointed out, "They're really scary!" Anzu smiled, "Don't worry, there aren't any spiders here. Why don't you get dressed, and then you can explore the yard." Misaki smiled, "Okay!" Both adults got up and left, when Yugi said, "If you need anything, we'll be downstairs." "'kay," Misaki called, before closing the door to get dressed. She finally decided on wearing a blue and green-stripped shirt, and khaki shorts.

For the rest of the day, Misaki was outside, exploring the yard. The neighborhood where Yugi and Anzu lived was known for its huge, wooded lots, and that there were several creeks in the vincinity. Misaki was amazed how pretty the woods were, and she collected several woldflowers, and made a boquet. Yugi and Anzu's backyard had a traditional koi pond, and several beds. Misaki had enjoyed looking at the fish, and even tried to catch one in her hands, but no luck in that department.

She finally came to a creek down a bit from the house. From the looks of it, the creek was shallow to walk in. Laughing, Misaki pulled off her sandals, and waded around. She found several small colored geodes, which she put into her pocket. She also found some wild blackberries that were nice and ripe, so she ate these for lunch.

Of course, it got close to dinnertime, so Misaki ran back home, where she found Yugi and Anzu, enjoying the evening. "I'm back! I found some neat rocks in the creek," Misaki yelled excitedly, as she joined them. Yugi nodded, "There are nice rocks, Misaki. Where are you going to put them?" "My room," was her reply, when Anzu took her inside for dinner, which happened to be pizza.

After all was said and done, Misaki fell asleep right after her bath. Yugi chuckled as he tucked her in. When he left, Anzu asked, "Is she asleep?" Yugi smiled and kissed her, "She's fine." With that said, they continued to enjoy their evening, under the stars.
