Mizuku's pov (yay)

Daddy and Uncle Shinogu talk about the wedding, while I sit and draw a picture of Mommy for the wedding. The door opens and Neptune comes in soaking wet from the rain.

"Hi Ryoki-sama." She bows to Daddy, then smiles at me. "Hi Mizuku, what're you drawing?"

"A picture for Mama. How come you're all wet?"

"I got caught in the rain. All of Tokyo will float away at this rate." She laughs to herself and looks at Daddy. "Ryoki, can I stay and wait for Hatsumi?"

"Sure, I'll go get you a towel before you get the whole house wet." He goes and leaves and I look up at her.

"Are you and Uncle Shinogu fighting?" She looks at Shinogu, and he looks at her.

"I think so." She takes one of my crayons and starts drawing with me. I go sit with him, and pull his hair.

"Uncle Shinogu go tell Neptune not to be sad, please please."

"Owww, that hurts. G'off me." He pushes me down off the couch and I stick my tongue out at him.

"Then Neptune-chan can stay and play with me cause you're being a meanie."

Daddy walks in, and Uncle Shinogu gets up. He says he has to go to work, and goes by without saying nothin' to Neptune.

"Ryoki-sama, can I stay the night here? I promise to help clean and stuff, but I don't think Shinogu wants me home tonight."

Daddy tells her she can stay, so she comes in my room and babysits me while daddy goes to find Mama.

"Will you and Uncle Shinogu ever be happy?" I ask. She sighs and looks at me.

"You know when in movies the boy kisses the girl and they get married? If Shinogu came in here, and kissed me one more time, maybe.." She stops and looks out the window looking all dreamy and pretty.

I know, I'll make Uncle Shinogu kiss Neptune, and they'll be happy again!

"Can you keep a secret kid?" She whispers to me. I nod and she smiles and whispers in my ear.


Hatsumi's pov

I make it up to my apartment, to find Kari sitting with Mizuku watching Sailor Moon. Kari is wearing one of Ryoki's old shirts and her jeans.

"Hi Hatsumi. I'm sorry about earlier. Its not your fault we're fighting." She holds a can in her hand.

"Are you babysitting drunk?" I ask. "Where's Ryoki?"

"I'm drinking mountain dew Hatsu." She ruffles Mizuku's hair and leans back onto the couch. "Ryoki went to find you."

"Oh." I sit down and Kari looks at me. "Sorry, I'm trying to be cheerful but...I don't feel good."

"I took good care of her Mama, cause she's staying the night cause Uncle Shinogu is mean." Mizuku says pointing to the mess of hair gel that is keeping Kari's hair sticking up completely.

"Ya, you don't mind do you Hatsumi? Shinogu and I aren't on good terms at the moment." Kari takes another long drink, and I stand up.

"I'm not going to let you stay here after you break my brother's heart!" I frown.

"He's the heartbreaker, he's the one that is in love with his sister!"


Ryoki's PoV

After a long walk, I return home hoping Hatusmi's there. I'm sure we'll end up making up, we'll probably sleep pretty well too wink wink

I open the door, and find Kari and Mizuku hiding behind the couch while Hatsumi stands freaking out.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"She's drunk babysitting our daughter and you don't care. She breaks Shinogu's heart and.." Hatsumi stops and runs out.

"Don't ask me, we were just watching tv." Kari says pointing to the screen of the tv. Mizuku nods beside her and I roll my eyes.

"Great."


Kari's pov

Ryoki and I are sitting on the balcony talking. I look at him.

"What's with Hatsumi?"

"I don't know." Ryoki sighs and I look back at Mizuku asleep on the couch.

"She's probably mad about me arguing with Shinogu."

"He shouldn't be mad about Azusa looking at you though. Just go tell him that."

"I can't."

"Why the hell not?"

I look at him, and shake my head. "Because Ryoki, I slept with Azusa."

Later that night, I sleep on the top bunk in Mizuku's room. I can hear her moving around, and finally she climbs up the ladder to the top bunk and sits with me.

"I promise not to tell nobody your secret Neptune, cross my heart and promise on the moon." Mizuku whispers. I smile and hug her.

"You are so adorable Mizu, thanks." I play with her blonde hair, then she looks up at me.

"When you have the baby, will it be my friend and come play with me?"

"Yes, but don't tell anyone yet Mizuku."

Because I don't know if its Shinogus, or Azusa's...


A/N: Oh my gosh! Hatsumi yelling? Kari pregnant, Mizuku pulling Shinogu's hair? Another fabulous chapter :)

HARU is my LOVELY-- Yay you noticed the bolded sunglasses! I was hoping you would. Yes the fight was my fav part of that chap :)

Jenbo--Yes, a look into Azusa's not so deep thoughts. I loved the idea of her pouring her heart out and he's just sitting there. "Must not stare at her chest...don't loook..."

the littlest weasley---the display was a brilliant idea as well. I love all of you pointing out your fav parts:) I review as soon as a get enough reviews for my taste.

shinogu and azusa hater----Yes, I promise R/H pairing all the way, its just Shinogu has loved her so long, its hard to break away from her. Which isn't good for Kari at all.

bobthebrick--yes Mizuku had a pov part after I read that review I thought "wow bob is brilliant!" I know I worried no one would get Mizuku's line.

Tab-Cat----Yes, manga is often sad and yet you wanna keep it up.
