Mizuku's pov

Mommy sits with Aunt Akane, talking. Uncle Subaru and I are watching Gundam, but I don't really like it.

I wonder if Mommy and Daddy need to kiss to be happy...

"Uncle Subaru, do robots kiss?" I ask. He looks at me weird, then shakes his head.

"Not that I know of. Why?"

"No reason." I stand up and go sit beside Mama. She plays with my hair and continues to talk to Akane.

"At least Kari isn't having Azusa's kid. That would've broken Shinogu's heart." Mama sighs.

"So are you and Ryoki planning on having more.." Akane looks at me then whispers into Mama's ear.

"I don't know. I don't even know if we're talking."

"Having more what Auntie Akane? Are we getting a pet? I like fish."

Mama shakes her head, but Auntie Akane only giggles. Grown ups are weird...

Kari's Pov

Shinogu takes the day off to be with me. We go to the park, and walk around. He tries to start a conversation, but I don't want to talk. I feel so strange...

"You think it'll be a boy or a girl?" He asks. "Kari? Are you alright? You wanna go home?"

He puts a hand on my forehead, and I snap back from my thoughts. "Oh, no I'm fine Shinogu. Don't be silly."

"Are you sure? You seem kind of sad."

"Just a little moody. Can we go by Ryoki's store?" I ask. He nods and I let him take my hand and lead me.

"Sure, we'll go by Akane's too. Maybe we can help with him and Hatsu." He offers.

"That's the spirit. Can we get some ice cream too? Please?" I smile. He laughs and hugs me to him.

"Anything you want Kari."

"I love you Shinogu." I whisper staring up at him.

"I love you too Kari."

Shinogu's pov

Kari seemes jumpy. She stares around, and when I ask her if she's okay she pulls from my grasp. We go to Ryoki's store, and as usual she goes to him in a flash.

I'm not jealous, its just how hard it can be for her to be with me, but she can just jump at Ryoki...

"Ryo-sama! I'm so glad to see you." She smiles. "Is Hatsu talking to you yet?"

"No, I don't know what the hell is wrong, but she's not talking to me." He grumbles.

She and he talk a while, then she pulls at my arm. "Hey Shinogu, Ryoki's taking me shopping for tomorrow."

I stare confused. "Tomorrow?"

"My birthday. Remember?"

"Of course, I was just kidding." I assure her. She smiles and hugs me.

Did she ever tell me her birthday? Oh great now I have to figure out a present for her...

"I'll meet you at Akane's in an hour."

Ryoki's pov

I take Kari to a store, where she bounces around grabbing everything in sight.

"This, and this, and oh I want one of those over there! Yay, can you buy me that one in purple too?"

Geez, moodswings.

"Uh sure Kari." I mutter. She smiles and hugs me.

"Thanks Ryoki, you rock." She stops and looks at me. "Ryo, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"When your with Hatsumi, what does it feel like?"

Feel like? Like wha...gee

"What?" She rolls her eyes and sets the things she got on a table and looks at me.

"You know, like do you get this spark, or do you feel really great or something?"

"I don't know. My heart like beats fast. Shouldn't you ask a girl about this or something?"

She laughs and shoves me. "Ryoki, your my best friend, you know I've never had friends that were girls. They all ended up gettinga ll jealous and stuff. Unless your getting jealous."

"Jealous of what?" I laugh. "This is getting really lame, lets buy your stuff and go."

"Okay." She laughs and we go buy her things.

Akane's pov

I walk with Hatsumi down the street, hoping to cheer her up. She won't tell me why she isn't talking to Ryoki, but obviously she isn't going to tell anyone.

"Let's buy you some sexy clothes." I offer. She sighs.

"What for?" She replies dryly. Mizuku runs in front of us and starts walking backwards.

"Mama, why are you mad at Daddy? Did he not kiss you?" She says innocently.

Hatsumi looks at her daughter, and then back at the sidewalk. "No, I'm not sure why I'm mad."

Suddenly Mizuku trips over someone. I watch as the person she tripped over helps her to her feet. "Mizuku?"

She looks up at him. "Daddy? Yay Daddy and Auntie Neptune!"

Kari smiles at Mizuku, and hugs her. "Hey kiddo, what are you and your mother doing?"

"Mama and Auntie Akane and me are going shopping. Is daddy taking you shopping too?" She says excitedly. Hatsumi looks away from the group, obviously angry.

"I was taking her to buy a birthday present. Or ten." He's carrying several bags, while Kari is only holding her purse.

"Akane, didn't you want to get to that store before it closed?" Hatsumi tells me looking upset and desperate. I sigh and nod.

"Oh of course. Come on Mizu. Good bye Kari-san and Ryoki." I wave, but Mizuku is still hugging Kari.

"I wanna stay with Daddy!" She squeals. Hatsumi mutters a yes, and we walk away.

"Hatsumi he was just taking her for birthday shopping." I tell her once we're out of ear shot.

"Always with Kari. Stupid ass Kari. 'Ya Kari, stay at our house.' Then he stupid buys her a pregnancy test and he's.." Hatsumi stops and starts crying like crazy. I hug her to me.

"Oh Hatsu he's just being a good friend." I comfort her. Hatsumi wipes her eyes but continues to cry.

"That should have been me Akane, when I was preggo I should have just told him. I'll never get to feel how Kari feels with Ryoki, that should be Shinogu caring for her."

"Oh shit." I gasp. "He called and said he was going to meet us at the house and I forgot. We better go back."

Hatsumi nods and we leave back to my apartment.
