Disclaimer:Me no own so you don't sue!

Nagiko sat in a chair watching her son play with some of the toys that the servants made. Right now he was playing with a plush white tiger cub.

'At eight months he started to walk, and at the age of one he can say a few words. Suikotsu must be proud.' She thought but was broke out of her musing when Rei stood up, and walked over to her.

He looked up at her with those big golden eyes of his, and lifted his arms in a silent plea to be picked up. Nagiko smiled, and did just that lifting him into her lap.

Rei sat in her lap playing with the white tiger in his. Nagiko cradled him then stood up, and started to walk through the hallways. The servants loved to see Rei most of the females would ask Nagiko if they could hold him.

She opened the sliding door to the kitchen the sounds of food cooking, and people chatting filled her ears. She entered the room, people stopping to say, "Good afternoon mistress Nagiko." Then going back to whatever they were doing.

She smiled at all of them and started to wonder around. A woman approached Nagiko she had light brown hair that was up in a ponytail, her pale blue eyes held love, and wisdom, and she wore a pale blue kimono.

"Hello mistress Nagiko." She greeted. Nagiko smiled, and greeted her back, "Mistress Nagiko may I please hold him?" She questioned.

Nagiko giggled, and nodded her head, "Just be careful." The woman smiled, and carefully took Rei from her. Rei looked up at her, and blinked tilting his head to one side. The woman let out a little squeal, "He's so cute! You're so lucky mistress Nagiko." She said handing him back to her.

Rei watched her walked away, and when she turned around to wave bye he did something that surprised everyone, "Bye-bye." Everyone was shocked. Rei rarely used his voice, and when he did it was only to his mother, and father.

Nagiko changed her shocked expression to a pleased one, and gave a little wave to everyone then exited the room.

Rei looked up at his mother curious at her happy face, but figured it didn't matter as long as she was happy that's all that mattered.

Suikotsu sighed as he re-reads the letter in front of him.

'Who does this man think he his? Threaten my family just so I could meddle in someone's affairs.' He thought pulling out a piece of paper and a pen, but didn't get the chance to start when the door to his study opened.

He turned his head, and smiled when he the two most precious things in the world came in.

"What are you doing here?" He questioned. Nagiko smiled letting Rei go so he could go to him, "I came here to tell you some good news, and Rei wanted to see his papa." She replied.

Rei was trying to get into Suikotsu's lap, but since he was small he was having a hard time with the chair. Suikotsu chuckled and picked Rei up, and settled him into his lap.

Nagiko approached the two, "You really have to start spending time with Rei he misses you." She said. Suikotsu looked at his wife, "Yes I suppose I have been neglecting you both. But those damn men won't stop."

Nagiko sighed, "Well you know humans are weak, and are attracted to power. That's why they continue to ask you to help. They want to use you for your power then when it's done they will try to kill in hope to show that they are more powerful then you."

Suikotsu smiled, "You know that your wisdom is one of the reasons that I married you." He said. "Oh really? I thought that you just loved my looks." She said in a teaseling tone.

Suikotsu chuckled, and looked down at Rei, "I think that its time for Rei's nap." He said looking at the slumbering youth in his lap.

"I don't know how you do it Suikotsu, but you always manage to calm him down, or make him fall asleep." She said taking Rei off his lap giggling.

"Yes I do wonder." He said standing up. They both began walking through the door, and down the hallway, "I went to the kitchen today." She started, "Went to see how they were doing."

Suikotsu chuckled, "And you brought Rei with you." He said cocking one eyebrow up. "Yes I did, the servants seem to enjoy seeing Rei once an while. Anyway one of them came up too me to see if they could hold Rei, which I let her. When she gave Rei back, and was walking away you won't believe what Rei did."

"Oh and what did he do?" Suikotsu was starting to wonder why his wife was so happy at what Rei did.

"He said bye-bye to her." She replied. Suikotsu's eyes widened in shock, "You mean to tell me that he said something to someone else other than you, or I?" He questioned.

Nagiko chuckled, "Yes he did." She said looking down at Rei. Suikotsu smiled, "Good. I want him to interact with the servants." He said patting his sleeping son on the head.

Rei shifted in his sleep a smile appearing on his face, and gripping onto Nagiko's top with his small hands.

Suikotsu opened the door, and Nagiko went inside. She went inside, and gently put Rei into his bed then both she and Suikotsu left.

Suikotsu was sitting on his bed listening and watching his wife play the piano, and sing her newest song.

You're giving me too many things lately,

You're all I need,

You smiled at me and said.

Don't get me wrong I love you,

But does that mean I have to meet your father?

When we are older you'll understand

What I meant when I said, "No, I don't think that life is that simple."

When you walk away,

You don't hear me say,

Please oh baby don't go,

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me fell tonight,

It's hard to let it go.

The daily things that keep us all busy,

Are confusing,

That's when you came to me and said.

Wish I could prove I love you,

But does that mean I have to walk on water?

When we older you'll understand,

It's enough when say so,

And maybe some things are that simple.

When you walk away,

You don't hear me say,

Please oh baby don't go,

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me fell tonight,

It's hard to let it go.

Hold me,

Whatever lies beyond this morning,

Is a little later on,

Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all,

Nothing's like before.

Suikotsu clapped when the song ended, "I said once I'll say it again; you have the most beautiful voice that I have ever heard."

Nagiko blushed, "And you Suikotsu are the most flattering man that I've ever met."

Nagiko turned around, and smiled, which Suikotsu returned, but both stopped smiling when they heard some footsteps running towards them.

At first Nagiko thought it was Rei, but the footsteps were to heavy to be his. Then the door slid open very fast, and in the doorway appeared a very distressed Cho.

"Lord Suikotsu! Rei is missing!" She said. Nagiko gasp, and put one of her hands to cover her mouth, Suikotsu narrowed his eyes, "Was they're a note where Rei was?" He questioned.

Cho nodded. Suikotsu stood up, and headed towards the door, too go outside.

As soon as Suikotsu opened the door he was greeted with the sight of his son held up with a dagger at his neck, and the figure holding him was wearing a black cloak.

"Papa!" Rei screamed out stretching his arm toward him. Suikotsu growled low in his throat, "Release my son now! And I promise you to give you a painless death."

The robed figure chuckled, "You forget who has all the cards Suikotsu. My employee is…disappointed that you will not help him. So he hired me too take the next best thing."

"You bastard!" He roared, "You will not take my son!" He exclaimed charging at him.

Unseen by Suikotsu the figure smirked, and ducked just in time under Suikotsu's claws. Though Suikotsu's claws were unable to injure him they were able to tear off the hood.

Suikotsu gazed into the face of the man that held his son, and felt his eyes widen in shock.

I think I'll leave it there. What do you think?

(Reviewers glare, and bring out bats, and frying pans.)

(Whimpers) Ok I'll keep writing.

"You?" Muttered Suikotsu. The man that held his son had short brown hair, and had piercing green eyes.

"Torn!" He exclaimed. Torn smirked, "So glad that you remember me, but I really must be off." He said, and turned to go.

Rei who watched the whole exchange slit his eyes, and brought Torn's hand up to his mouth, and chomped down.

Torn screamed in pain, and dropped Rei. Rei scurried away from him, and ran towards his father.

As soon as Rei was by his side, and latched onto him he snapped out of his shock, and glared at Torn.

Torn, who was cradling his injured arm returned the glare, "I'll get him sooner or later Suikotsu, and when I do you're not going to be around to stop me." Were his final words then he took off.

Suikotsu kept glaring until he couldn't see his silhouette no more then turned to his son.

Rei was looking up at his father holding back his tears, as he kneeled down in front of him, and gathered him in to a hug.

Just as Suikotsu brought Rei into a hug Nagiko came racing outside, and observed the seen before her.

Once she saw the crying Rei in an embrace with her husband she sighed sadly, and continued to gaze at them both.

Nagiko walked out of Rei's room, "He's asleep now. Whatever happened had him really shaken up." She said. Suikotsu nodded his head, "As long as he's okay I'm happy." He replied.

Nagiko gazed up at him sadly asking a silent question on what had happened, but Suikotsu ignored her, and started to walk to his study.

"Where are you going?" She asked. Suikotsu stopped, but did not turn to face her, "To write a letter." He replied his voice devoted of any emotion.

A few minutes later he was back in the study room. The piece of paper, and pen still out. He walked over the desk, and sat in the chair. He picked up the pen, and wrote.

Dear Voltaire Hiwatari…
