Chapter 3:
"Uncle Eiri…I want that doll!" Hikari screamed as loud as she could. She was hold on to Yuki's leg as tightly as she could and screaming for the doll she wanted. Yuki tried shaking her off vigorously ignoring the shocked looks the passerby's gave him.
"I can't get it for you…get off my leg you spoiled brat!" Yuki shook his leg harder. Hikari howled louder and let go, to lie on the ground throwing a tantrum instead.
"UNCLE EIRI…YOU'RE SO MEAN! I WANT THAT DOLL!" Hikari went louder if that was possible. Yuki growled with rage and looked down at the kicking girl on the floor. He tried picking her up, but let go when she screamed in his ear.
"ALRIGHT! BRAT! I'LL GET IT FOR YOU IF YOU STOP SCREAMING. I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU LET ANOTHER SOUND OUT!" Yuki yelled louder than the kid and looked up to see Wan staring at him.
Hikari stopped and got up with an angelic smile. "Hi Wan." She said through a tearful face. "My uncle Eiri said he'll get me the doll isn't he an awesome person?"
Wan smiled and walked up to Yuki. "Hey Yuki-san. Hey Hikari. What are doing?"
"I'm going to that toy store…you want to come?" Hikari caught hold of his arm dragging him in before he could answer. Yuki snarled and walked in.
"Are you here alone?" he asked Wan, who shook his head. "Uncle Hiro's with me. We both saw you yelling…it was funny." The kid giggled. "Your face was all red."
Yuki tried to frown, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He turned around and saw Hiro waiting at the entrance. He nodded to him, wondering why the man wasn't coming to take Wan away, when Hiro walked up to him.
"Yuki-san. Can you do me a favour and watch Wan for five minutes, I need to make a call, I'll be right outside." Hiro walked out. Yuki scowled; now he was stuck with two kids…someone must really hate him up there.
"Why are you always frowning Yuki-san?" Wan asked innocently. Yuki blinked. "Don't you ever smile? My daddy said that you used to smile sometimes…I've only seen you smile in the party."
"I don't like smiling, Wan-kun. It's too much trouble." Yuki looked away from the kid; the little guy asked too many unnerving questions. "What would you like?"
"No thank you." Said Wan trying to be polite, but Yuki saw him eyeing a huge blue whale stuffed toy, with Bloopy written over it's belly. It was almost as big as Yuki. Yuki picked it up.
"I think you'll like this neh?" he looked at Wan who nodded before he remembered his manners. "Ok, then it's yours if you can get Hiro-kun, to carry it for you…I doubt you can carry it yourself"
Wan shook his head. "It's almost as big as my bed! Maybe I can lie on him while watching TV!" Yuki turned and smiled a little at the boy who smiled back.
"You smiled! My daddy says you should always smile, cause it makes other people happy when you smile. I like you when you smile…maybe if you smiled at Hikari, she wouldn't be so scared of you. Can you give me your number?" Wan concluded.
Yuki's smile slipped, but he valiantly kept it in place. "Hikari isn't scared of anyone Wan. You shouldn't believe what she says so much." He paid for the toys and walked the kids out.
Hiro turned to see a blue whale shoved at him. "That's the boys. You can carry it for him…" he turned to see Yuki frown at him. Then to his amazement Yuki turned to Wan and tried a smile…it was a pretty good one, though Hiro noticed it didn't reach his eyes. "Nice seeing you kid, have fun with Bloopy. And here's my number, you can call me."
----------------------------------------------
"Yuki Eiri bought you that whale?" Shuichi stared at his son in disbelief. When had Yuki ever liked kids enough to buy them presents? His son nodded lying on the whale.
"I like him daddy…he smiled two times today! Hikari was crying for a doll today and he bought it for her." Wan stated when Hiro interrupted with a smile.
"You mean Hikari was throwing a tantrum in the street and Yuki bought it to keep her quiet! That kid is so spoilt Shuichi…she was going on screaming and kicking and holding on to Yuki's leg…it was funny."
Wan grinned. "I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU LET ANOTHER SOUND OUT" he imitated Yuki. "He called her a spoiled…br…br…I don't remember."
"Brat." Shuichi finished for him. He wondered whether he was supposed to thank Yuki for this…it was the polite thing to do…but…
-------------------------------------------
Shuichi lay awake in his bed. Wan had just fallen asleep, so he was sitting in his own room. Yuki was being pretty nice to his son. He wondered why…then another thought struck him…what kind of a wreck was Hiro talking about? Yuki wouldn't be in a wreck because he was the one who had kicked Shuichi out.
Shuichi felt a pang as he remembered some of the cruel things Yuki had said that day. "Get out brat!" "But Yuki, you said you loved me, why are you throwing me out again?" "Love? I was in it for the sex brat…and all I had to say was I love you, to get you in bed, I did."
Shuichi winced. He had left after that…for good. He suddenly realized he didn't know why Yuki had behaved like that. Well, tomorrow he would have to face Yuki again, he'd better be prepared.
---------------------------------------------
"Love? I was in it for the sex brat…and all I had to say was I love you, to get you in bed, I did." Yuki's eyes snapped open; it was already nine thirty in the morning. He cursed softly getting up to get a drink of water. He wished he'd never said that for the millionth time in his life. It had been a crazy day…his book, had been returned by the publisher, who had told him to change a dozen things because it was crap, his stocks had just dropped fast, he had been scared of getting bankrupt and Shuichi was nagging him again wanting to go out and have fun. He knew he should never have said that…whatever had happened…he'd wanted to make up but Shuichi had left.
Yuki leaned against the cold wall fighting the pain and another idea. Then he gave in to the idea, like he'd given in before and pulled out a blade from his draw. He sat on his couch and concentrated as he made a long deep cut down the length of his forearm. It was deep enough to hurt a lot and draw lots of blood, but not deep enough to kill him. Nevertheless blood began seeping up from the cut onto the floor…Yuki sighed as he fought the pain, which took his mind of his mental pain. Physical pain was so much easier to handle.

A/N: that's it for today folks. School starts again tomorrow…hoping for more rain days so that school can be cancelled again! Then I can write more. And those of you who have also read my other story Confused, I know I'm getting a little too obsessed with blades here with Yuki and there with Tatsuha…bear with me for a while please.
Taka.
