Later on, most of the female members of the Jinnouchi family were in the kitchen with Mo.
"Has it really been ten years?" Noriko commented.
"Time sure does fly." Yumi replied.
"So, who is Wabisuke?" Nana asked.
Mo listened in so she could get some details.
"Oh, that's right," Noriko said to Nana. "You never would've met him, would you?"
"Trust me, it's a long story." Yumi added.
"Why beat around the bush?" Mariko said. "My mother adopted him."
"Yeah, because he's Great-Grandpa's illegitimate son." Naomi said.
Mo took notes on this so she could tell Atticus what she found out.
"That kind of thing happened a lot back then." Mariko said as she sat down.
Mo soon tried to listen in more, not knowing the floor board she would step on would make a creaking sound. She then yelped and cupped her mouth which made all eyes land on her. "Uh, hi, sorry, but I was wanting to know why you all didn't want Wabisuke here." She then explained as she walked in.
"Nosy..." Yumi muttered slightly.
"Yumi!" Rika scolded. "Well, you're our guest and you're part of the Fudo clan now, I suppose you can know."
"So, what did he do to make you all, besides Natsuki, dislike him?" Mo asked.
"That ungrateful punk had the nerve to sell what little property Granny had left and go traipsing off to America with the money!" Rika told her firmly. "America! Can you believe it? Jeez, who does that?"
"Wait, he sold the property for his own selfish desire?" Mo asked.
"That's what I heard anyhow." Rika nodded.
'I wonder how the kids are doing?' Mo thought to herself.
Meanwhile with Wabisuke, Natsuki, Kenji, Akito, Vincent, and Estelle...
Akito and Estelle yawned as they joined their dogs as Atticus was with Patch. Wabisuke and Natsuki were in the middle of a game.
"Should we interrupt?" Estelle asked.
"We should watch them play." Akito said.
"Okay, 'Kito." Estelle replied.
"Yes..." Vincent agreed.
They soon went back to the living room where the game was being played. Natsuki and her uncle appeared to be playing some sort of Poker game.
"Natsuki, isn't this Koi-Koi?" Estelle asked.
"It is..." Natsuki nodded.
"Must be the Japanese version of Poker." Vincent guessed.
"Are you taking the points?" Wabisuke asked his niece.
"Hmm... Not yet," Natsuki replied before taking her turn. "Koi-Koi, Uncle!"
"Pretty risky." Akito said.
"Your turn, Wabisuke." Estelle said while Kenji was reading the rules of the game.
"Alright, my turn then," Wabisuke replied before taking his turn. "Bam! Trying for a Dry 4 Bright?"
"Huh? Course not!" Natsuki told him.
"We'll have to see." Vincent said.
Wabisuke soon took his turn and had three 'junk cards'.
"Uh-oh, that means he wins." Estelle giggled.
"Huh? Koi-Koi, right?" Natsuki asked her uncle.
"'Fraid not." Wabisuke told her.
"How'd you do that?!" Natsuki asked.
"What can I say?" Wabisuke chuckled. "Well, think I'm gonna call it a night."
"Okay." Vincent said.
"Come on! One more game." Natsuki pouted while Vincent nodded in agreement.
"I believe in quitting while you're ahead." Wabisuke chuckled.
"I agree." Akito said.
"Your turn." Wabisuke told Kenji.
"Uh, I'm still learning the rules..." Kenji spoke up with a small shy smile.
Natsuki soon left with Wabisuke. Scruffy and Dot came to Akito and Estelle and sat next to them.
"We better get to sleep." Estelle yawned.
"It is pretty late." Akito agreed.
Natsuki was hoping for her uncle to stay as everyone went to get some sleep together. Lee held Estelle in his sleep as they shared a bed together. Atticus stayed calm as he saw them together in bed and decided to go get into bed with Mo. Forte read a book to pass the time for himself while he locked Cherry in her room as she was drunk and kept her alone in there until she would pass out, and where the rest of the night was peaceful that was until both Kenji and Akito got texts on their cell phones.
Akito rubbed his eye as he took out his phone to check the messages while he was trying to get some sleep. Kenji did the same thing although he was already awake. There was a present on screen before it counted down from three and exploded.
"Gah!" Akito yelped as the noise surprised him and he dropped his phone onto his body. "What was that?"
The same thing happened to Kenji, but unlike him, Akito checked his avatar and where it was still on and where that's then where he logged off. Vincent groaned and went under the covers as Akito went to work.
'I wonder what that was about and why that equation was just like the same code as the way to activate the dangerous program...' Akito thought to himself before going wide-eyed.
Vincent groaned as he tried to sleep.
"Kenji!" Akito rushed over to tell someone about this who was also awake.
"Akito, what is it?" Kenji asked. "What's going on?"
"Check this out." Akito showed his own phone.
"Nice phone." Kenji said.
"Thanks." Akito replied.
"So, is that why you called out to me?" Kenji asked.
"Yes..." Akito nodded. "It seems important."
"You sure you're not overreacting?" Kenji asked.
"I got a text from someone that sent a code and where it seemed like the same code to activate a dangerous program from the American Government." Akito said.
"The Government?" Kenji's eyes widened. "We need to get to a computer."
"I have a laptop." Akito offered.
"That'll work." Kenji yawned.
Akito yawned back. "We got work to do..."
"In the morning." Kenji decided.
"Very well then..." Akito then nodded.
The two of them soon went to bed. Vincent felt relieved since Akito was now going to bed and leaving his bright and flashy electronics for now. The next morning was going to be quite a shocker.
