"Talking in Russian"

"Talking normal"

Epilogue

I lie, I wait
I stop, I hesitate
I am, I breathe
I meant, I think of me

It was two months since Kai's departure, and a week since Kaiya's father spoke about him, the two had been writing to each other, Kai and Kaiya but neither one of them wanted to mention their father.

With the loss of his wife and love and the founding of his son his mind was mixed, he didn't know what to do anymore.

It was his forty-fifth birthday and he was old and grey, he couldn't think, hell, he didn't even want to know what was outside.

And as Mr Hiwatari stared down the hallway of his house he sighed, he was tired and angry at pushing his son away the second time and he knew for a fact that Kaiya would do anything for them to get along again as a family.

Is it any wonder I can't sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
turn away from light
it's not enough, just a touch
it's not enough

Walking towards her bedroom, Mr Hiwatari pushed open her door to see a sleeping body on the bed, wrapped in blankets.

Long red hair on the pillows, her breathing deep and peaceful.

Her light still on and a book resting on her chest, her father smiled and neatly placed the bookmark at the page and placed it on the bedside table, looking to see a photo of her and Kai, standing next to each other, from the look of the background it was at the funeral.

Standing by their mother's grave smiling, tears running down their faces, he stared at Kai in wonder, how did he become to look and smile just like his mother?

I taste, I love
I come, I bleed enough
I hate, I'm not
I was, I want too much

While staring deeply at the picture Mr Hiwatari did not notice his daughter awake and staring at him perplexed.

"Dad? Are you ok?"

Mr Hiwatari startled placed the picture back and put it back on the small table.

"Yeah I'm ok"

Kaiya sat up in her bed and smiled at the picture.

"You know, he's really angry at you"

"What's he…what's he like?"

Mr Hiwatari sat on the bed and the two smiled at each other lovingly.

"He's…he's just the way he's meant to be, a bit of a perfectionist and a critic but he's cool…a lot like mom in some ways"

"Like how?"

"Well like, he'll always get his way, he thinks he's always right and he likes to be clean, not like you who enjoys running around in manure"

"And is he a good person?"

"He's mixed up really, he's never had real…guidance for him to decides what's really wrong and right"

Is it any wonder I can't sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light

"It's my fault, I suggested sending him to my father, and I was never really good to you or him? I'm an awful father really I don't know how you're mother could stand me"

"It doesn't matter what happened dad, as long as you forgive yourself"

"Do you think he's forgiven me?"

"Maybe you should ask him?"

"Ask him?"

"Yeah, we can go to Japan and I don't know…see what happens?"

"Maybe"

"Dad lets just go, what can happen?"

"Your right you know that?"

"Aren't I always?"

It's not enough, just a touch
it's not enough, just a touch
it's not enough, just a touch
it's not enough, just a touch
it's not enough, just a touch
it's not enough, just a touch

They arrived in sunny weather and blue skies, walking towards a group of people that waited for Kaiya but did not know of the surprise she brought back.

Kai spotted her first but then he saw his father.

Tension was there as Kai and father stared at each other, the group gulped; they had heard of what happened and did not know how their friend and captain would react to this.

Mr Hiwatari put his hand out to shake with his son; Kai stared at it and smirked; only Kaiya would do something like this.

Kai stretched out his hand, hesitating and the grasping the hand that was his father; the two stared at each other, with Kaiya jumping around like a happy sugar high bunny.

Then Kai did something no one expected, he pulled his father into an embrace, the two smiled and hugged each other, Mr Hiwatari felt tears swell up in his eyes.

This was his boy; this was his boy, his son, his blood.

"Kai…I'm-"

Mr Hiwatari began saying in Kai's ear, the two were the same height.

"Don't worry about it, its over"

Mr Hiwatari smiled and they separated, he stared at his son and daughter, smiling from ear to ear, 'yes, it's finally over'.

There we go, now we're finished, finally it's over!
