Ch. 20

(A/N): Hello everyone, I have decided to write one more chapter this month. I have noticed some mistakes in some of the chapters and do plan to revise Thursday. In other news from season 2 for B-P I do believe they plan to add one more group, Killer King. I would also like to address everyone to be nicer to each other when you review. Please don't go off on a rant on someone's spelling or grammar. There are people just like me who have a hard time with spelling and grammar. If you do want to say something try to be nicer because you don't know the persons situation. With that said due to many mistakes in my story New Beginnings Part 1 I plan to fully 100% go over everything and revise and rewrite all the chapters, which is a lot. Starting in Oct. 1 no one will be able to read the story as many things will changed or added. That is all for now. Thank you to all my readers, followers, faves, and to all of you who have been reviewing this story. I do not own MK-LT.

Ch. 20

Kotoko stood shock for a moment until she finally was able to talk. "Um, hello," said Kotoko a little awkwardly. "I guess this call is so we can meet up somewhere?"

"Yes," said Sahoko. Kotoko for the love of life could not tell how she was feeling through the sound of her voice, and that worried her greatly. "I know a quaint little cafe we can meet up today during lunch. I'll text you the address."

"Um, sounds good, see you then." After she hung up her phone Kotoko fell on the couch. She was still shocked from that call. She had talked to Naoki last night and he had told her that she would call today; though she thought she wouldn't called this early. Everyone had just finished breakfast and her kids were now upstairs brushing their teeth.

Yuki walked into the living room and saw that Kotoko look like she saw ghost. "Wo, what happened to you?" he asked as he plopped right next to her.

"Sahoko called to meet up," is all she spoke.

Yuki looked at her in shock himself. "What, are you serious? What time are you going to meet her?"

"I'm leaving a little before lunch to meet her at some café," she sighed. Just then her cellphone dinged to indicate she had a message. "I guess that's the message from Sahoko telling me the address," looking at the text.

Yuki read the text message over her shoulder, "I know that place." He took her phone and put it the address in. "It's a little hard to find if you don't know where you are going."

"Thanks for that," she said as she took her phone back. "If it wasn't for you I would have gotten lost," said Kotoko as she giggle. However for Yuki though he knew why Sahoko picked this café. It was isolated for a number of reasons, and unless you heard exactly where it was, or had a map you would get loss. Lately people had been using it for secret meetings, or to have them get loss on purpose.

"Can you watch the kids until I get back?" asked Kotoko bringing Yuki back from his thoughts.

"Yeah I can do that?" said Yuki as the kids came back down stairs.

"What's going?" asked Yuga as he and Ayu stood beside their mother.

"Uncle Yuki is going to watch you today during lunch," Kotoko started to say. "I have a meeting to go to and I want you kids to behave while I'm out."

"Were always good momma," said Ayu smiling. Yuki and Yuga just laughed while Kotoko just smiled and shook her head.

"Don't worry about the kids, they will be fine," said Yuki getting up. "I'll call Yoshimi and take the kids with us back to the park. You can just meet us there."

"Yeah," the kids shouted. Kotoko was glad her kids were exited to get to hang out with their favorite uncle, but she was still nervous about meeting up with Sahoko.

As she was walking around the street following her gps she figured out for herself why the place was so well hidden, but when she found it she did feel a little intimidated. When she finally went inside Kotoko found it a little comfortable. However that feeling left when she saw Sahoko sitting at a corner table.

When Sahoko saw her she waved a little as Kotoko walked over, with a nervous smile plastered on her face. Now the time had come for the two to sit down again once more. The last time they had sat down together was that day.

Sahoko had admitted that she and her grandfather were jealous of Kotoko and her relationship with the Iries'. Kotoko had reassured her that there was nothing to be jealous about, that Naoki did care about her. However it did about kill her Sahoko asked her if she was in love with someone. She had lied to herself that night, and to Sahoko.

"So thank you for seeing me," Kotoko started to say. "I just want to let you know I'm so sorry for what I did with Naoki, and for not telling you everything."

"Well we can't change the pass and I was always a little curious why you moved," said Sahoko who actually looked almost concern. "It didn't surprise me that you moved out after I heard your father was looking for a house, but you had actually moved to Kobe."

"Well after that… night I learned that Naoki was still planning on marrying you, I realized I couldn't be near him or stay in the same city as him. So I left."

"When did you learn when you were pregnant?" asked Sahoko.

Kotoko took a deep breath, "I found out a little over two months when I started to work for Sara." Kotoko felt a tear slip down her face. "At one point I had only two options since I didn't have much for my baby; either I move backed to Tokyo, or I might have to give my baby up." But soon as she thought about her husband a small smile came to her face. "However thanks to Sara I was able to take care of my baby, and I could back to school just fine with his help."

"You must have really loved him," said Sahoko as she gave her a napkin to dab her eyes. "I'm sorry you lost a great man, he must have been a great father to your kids."

Kotoko just sighed as she closed her eyes at the happy memories of her husband and her kids. "He was and he took to Yuga like he was his own, even before we started to date; and after we had our daughter we thought our life was perfect."

When Kotoko opened her eyes she could have sworn she saw Sahoko looked jealous, but then was replaced by a "sweat" smile. "That must have been nice, but I have a question I would like to ask you."

"Um, sure," said Kotoko a little unsure of the woman sitting across from her.

"Can I meet him?"
