"Yes! Ask Hanako!" Gao replied.

" G.. Gao! What are you saying? How can Hanako take the lunch bag out of Tasuku's bag!" Suzumi said looking at Hanako. "Yes! I don't believe this!" Tasuku exclaimed while standing up from the chair. " Hey! If you don't believe me then ask Hanako". Gao replied. " Huh? Hanako? Okay then! Hanako? Did you take the lunchbox out of his bag?" Suzumi asked Hanako gently.

" U.. Uh * sweat dropping* I.. I.." Hanako looked at Gao who was telling her to tell what he had told her.

" I.. d..did… I took the lunch box out of his bag.. be.. because he is a big showoff.. and I .. I … I think that everyone thinks the s.. same!" Hanako replied with a very sad look and she was not looking directly in the eye as well. " H.. H.. Hanako! You did.. What!?" Suzumi said with a tense tone.

Suzumi turned back to comfort Tasuku and tell him that it was just something foolish but Tasuku fell to the ground on his knees and his sweat dropped. " I.. I.. think that I am only causing trouble to you! If you all think that then I have no regrets and I then will leave!" Tasuku said with his eyes filled with tears.

" T..Tasuku! please! Hanako! I did not expect this from you and just.. just. Get.. just don't say anything now!" Suzumi said to Hanako and she was very angry.

Suzumi then turned towards Tasuku with a very soft look and said, " I'm very sorry Tasuku.. I .. I didn't think that they would go this far and.. and just leave this and tell me do you want something special to eat in dinner?"

" Auh?" Tasuku looked up and saw Suzumi's eyes which were filled with deep love and care.

" I.. I have given you enough trouble Mrs. Mikado so please don't make something special for me… instead I should cook for all of you". Tasuku replied.

" Awn! I'm sad now, I want to cook something special for you!" Suzumi said with a smile on her face and turning back to show that she is sad but it wasn't working as her acting was not good.

Tasuku started to laugh which made Suzumi very happy. " You know Suzumi may not look so but she is very nice and sweet. She loves children and also wishes to become one". Tasuku and Suzumi looked at the door and saw Hanae.

" M.. Mom! I think that's enough!" Suzumi blushed. Tasuku looked at Suzumi with great interest and surprise. " Oh! And I remember that when she was young, I was a very nice MOTHER so I was always worried about her and her sister. Just like how a true MOTHER would do. Those who don't have one are, I think, don't even know what actual love is". Hanae said as though she said it on purpose.

Suzumi looked back worriedly and saw Tasuku who was with a very shocked and sad face. " A..Auh? T… Tasuku! What things can you cook?" Suzumi asked Tasuku trying to turn the tables around.

"Hun? W.. well, I can cook lots of things as I live all by myself but.." Tasuku replied still with a very sad. " O..okay, now let's decide what to make? Ahen…..hen" Suzumi said giving a fake smile trying to cheer Tasuku up. " Do you have any ideas then? I will make whatever you want me to." Tasuku said still a bit sad.

" So.. do you know how to make Sushi, Ramen, Onigiri, Pudding, Baked Fish and.. and stewed chicken". Suzumi asked Tasuku. " Well, I know how to make all these things except for pudding and my baked fish isn't good at well or in other words it tastes like sushi flavored chewing gum. I'm fine with the rest." Tasuku replied a bit happily this time. " Okay then! Let's start! And don't worry about the things which you don't know. Feel free to ask me about that." Suzumi said in a soft tune.

" Ahhhh!" Tasuku screamed. " Tasuku? What happened!" Suzumi asked worriedly. " Ah! I.. I have cut my finger with the knife."

Tasuku replied with his finger in his mouth. " Oh my! How did you cut your finger!" Suzumi asked. " I boughb fabh by binber bas bhe feeb so fi fbut fit." Tasuku replied with his finger still in his mouth.. " My goodness! Please take the finger out of your mouth and then talk cause I didn't understand a think. " Suzumi with a grin on her face. " Well I was saying that , I thought that my finger the beef so I cut it!" Tasuku was smiling a lot and had pain in his words too.

Suzumi sighed a little then said Tasuku to stay still. " I don't understand that how can my finger get better by me staying still?" Tasuku asked very confused. " Of course you can't because idiots like you can never and never will." Takashi said from behind the door.

" T.. Takashi! Don't say mean stuff! If u want to say, then get out of here and don't butt in between me and Tasuku!" Suzumi said walking towards Takashi. " Oh yeah! Then why do YOU keep butting in his problems! This is a problem that Tasuku has to solve!" Takashi replied walking even closer to Suzumi and looking directly into her eyes.

Tasuku kept watching the two adults fighting and he had a surprised fight ( 0 ). "That'll teach him! Never to say these things with kids! Are you okay Tasuku? Please don't feel sad." Suzumi said sitting down where Tasuku was. Tasuku shock his head. " It's okay! To tell you the truth… I'm getting used to all of this.. Ahenhen." Tasuku said with a grin on his face but is was clear that it was all fake. Suzumi had a smile on her face but was worried about him (like the one in episode 17 when she was in her night dress).

" Auh? T..Tasuku?" Suzumi hesitated a bit. " Yes? Mrs. Mikado" Tasuku asked politely. " Do you know about the training?... I mean the aikijujitsu I teach Hanako and Gao?" Suzumi replied. " Auh.. no, I haven't but if it involves something with his awesome fighting style then I would say that you are a very good teacher". Tasuku got up from the floor and reach out his hand to Suzumi.

At first Suzumi stared at Tasuku and his hand with surprise then got up and said thanks.

" Thanks Tasuku dear and now it's my turn for you to say thanks!. You can train with us too. I have a pair of Yota's uniform and it will fit you perfectly because if you ask me, Yota was pretty tall for his age but Gao on the other hand…" Suzumi said while getting up and she was looking at the ceiling with a hand on her cheek.

" U.. Uh! Mrs. Mikado can I ask you something? Who is Yota and where is he right? I'm really sorry but whenever you talk about him you look so sad. I don't want to be rude but you and Gao talk about him a lot". Tasuku asked Suzumi very uneasily.

Suzumi looked at the boy with a worried expression.

" Yota," Suzumi managed to whisper, " Is my oldest son". " You're son! You mean that Gao isn't the oldest? W.. well then where is he?" Tasuku said but saw Suzumi's eyes filled with tears. Tasuku began

"Ahh.. I'm sorry, if you don't want to then please don't force yourself."

"It's okay! Some things have to be over with and you need to move on"

" Uh.. okay then Yota?"

Suzumi turned Tasuku's face over to the ceiling with her finger. " Yota…. Has died….. just the year before disaster or to be more accurate, on the same date of disaster in the previous year. My two most horrible things on the same date… First.. Yota and.. and then Hitomiko! i.. I just can't..!" Suzumi hit the table with her fist.

" Ahh… Please don't I'm really sorry! I didn't really mean to ask these thinks!" Tasuku said waving his hands out in front. " Hey! Wait a minute! You said Hitomiko and m-" " Okay! Okay! Hehehe… I .. I think we should get back to training! Or we should start training" Suzumi said cutting off Tasuku.

" Come On! If you both are done with your cuddles!" Gao was standing just besides the wall like a gangster.

" Okay! Come on Tasuku". Suzumi said and took Tasuku's hand to lead him out of the kitchen.

"Uh.. Mom! Can I do training too?"

Hanako was heard from upstairs. " Uh.. let's see.. I know you didn't mean it and something happened that you had to but I can't make any decisions, ask Tasuku… Tasuku? What do you say?" Suzumi replied.

" Well, I don't have any regrets… you can come too." Tasuku said enthusiastically.

" Thank You Tasuku!" Hanako replied. They all departed of to the dojo to begin training.

" Begin!"
