Chapter Four: Scary papa

He loved his family. He knew that. He adored his family. He knew he was lucky to have such a beautiful wife. He was lucky that she would take him at all. He was lucky to have two precious boys. He would always love them. It didn't matter if Risa was still taller than him. It wouldn't matter if his children would have a birth defect. If they were mute, if they were deaf, he they had ADD or ADHD. He would still be perfectly happy, he would still love them.

So then why? Why commit adultery? Why have a relationship with another woman? He really didn't know why. He knew it was bad. It was a sin. Yet he still did it. He still did not know why. Perhaps it was because of that thirst he gets. That feeling he gets. One of excitement. Lust for her touch, her skin against his, those lips against his...it was an obsession. A drug. Something that keeps him sane, and lets him take a break from the stress.

He had tried quite a number of times to stop. But he found himself heading back to work to see her. As a result he leaves his family alone. He knows its wrong. He knows it hurts them but he couldn't help it.

It hurts him too. When he comes home he feels like an outsider. He feels like he can't overcome this wall he built himself. Sometimes he does come home early and finds Risa playing with their two boys. She really didn't change much. More mature sure but she still retained that tomboyish, game loving nature of hers. So it wasn't a surprise to see her beating her own boys in video games. (A/N: Sure is a surprise if my mom even knows how to make a character jump...yet alone know how to use the controller...)

And as he watched he felt pushed aside. Excluded. What was ironic was Risa always asks him to join them but due to anger and confusion he declines. The anger always makes him stubborn and he knew it. So he ends up declining her offer even if his brain keeps on screaming to accept. (A/N: He has a problem..i know.)

During the summer he was home. But that was because he was forced by Nakao to stay home. So all summer without Haruhi. It seemed almost impossible. Sometimes during night he calls her up and leaves to see her in some club. Plus there was work. Of course that was solved by Nakao faxing all the paper work and usually bringing them with his family.

He stayed locked up in his room most of the time finishing them. He seemed like a loner almost. Risa would usually knock and ask if he wanted food or a drink or to join them in the pool. All were declined with a cold, "No," and he would send her away. She would give this disappointed look that he couldn't bear to see and leave. He hated that look. It made him feel pathetic, good for nothing, and a huge disappointment.

Those were one of the reasons he couldn't bear looking at her face. She was easy to read so the expressions were easy to read as well. They always gave him that look nowadays. And his own children. They glance at him for a split second when he enters the room and then turns back to what they were doing. Before they use to run to him shouting all these games they wanted to play.

He let out a sigh. He needed to sort out things. He needed to do it fast. And he needed to be committed. Another sigh escaped his lips as he closed his eyes, preparing for a dreamless sleep. Life was just fucking complicated.

--LINE--BREAK--

"Otani...Otani...wake up...Otani..."

He let out a groan. Risa leaned closer to his ears and shook him lightly. He wouldn't wake up. He normally was the first out of bed and left way before they even woke up. Not today. This morning she woke to the sound of the phone ringing and picked it up quickly. She heard his secretary, Haruki or Haruko, asking for him.

She thought he had left already so she began to go to his room. Normally she wouldn't even step in his room without permission but she had to make sure that Otani was indeed still in there. And as she thought, he was still there. Asleep.

For a while she stared. She hadn't seen Otani like this in while. Asleep, innocent, and tired. Even as he slept this long you could still see those dark rings under his eyes. But he had to wake up. He still had a job today. She was tempted to leave him like this though. At least he could spend a day in the house right? No that was the wrong thing to do. So hesitantly she tried to wake him.

Of course she never expected him to be like this. He seemed dead. He was breathing though but he might as well be. "Otani!" she cried out and nothing. No response. She almost panicked but thought logically. Otani only gets a few hours of sleep. Naturally he would be tired. Therefore he needed more rest. So with that said, she tip-toed out slowly. She knew she might regret this but somehow it was worth it. He was home right?

--LINE--BREAK--

"Mama! Mama!" the two boys cried in unison. They always say things together. Sometimes they complete each other's sentences. It was creepy really. Might as well be twins. Well they were a year apart. Close enough.

"Be quiet you two," she whispered looking down at them before going back to her cooking. Yes, she did most of the cooking. That's why they didn't hire chefs. She wouldn't feel like the wife and mother she should be if she didn't feed her family at least.

"Why?" Kazuki inquired looking at him with those precious eyes of his. They kill her most of the time. "Yeah mama. Why?" Tenshi echoed giving that angel look. Part of the reason why she regretted naming him Tenshi. He might as well be a the devil's mini-son. He probably is.

"Cuz papa is sleeping," she answered. The boys looked at her in awe. It was almost a miracle. Papa. In bed. Asleep. At home. In bed. AT HOME!! She had to chuckle at their faces, "What's so surprising?"

"Papa!" They cried out, "Papa's home!?"

"Yes, he's home. And asleep so keep it down."

"Mama! When papa wakes up can we do something?" Kazuki asked. She couldn't say no. He was too cute. They both were. And they haven't spent time with Otani and awhile.

"Like what?"

"Video games!"

"Play in the pool!"

"Go to the beach again!"

"The skating rink!"

"Auntie Nobu's house!

"To the movies!"

"GO TO AN UMIBOZU CONCERT!!" they practically screamed out. My they inherited a lot from them. Even the love for Umibozu. He was an old guy now but his music is still the best. They got their kids hooked on him too.

She let out a sigh, "We'll see. If papa wakes up lets ask." She almost dreaded it though. She didn't know what to say to them if he said no. But the sudden idea caught her head, "Kazuki, Tenshi? Can you do mama a favor?"

"Yeah!"

"Take these plates to papa," she directed taking the plates of food she had made while they talked, "and wake him up. Then ask him about it okay?"

"Okay!" the said cheerfully as they each carried a plate to the stairs. Their excitement had suddenly dissolved as they ascended upstairs.

Tenshi gulped looking straight at the hallway which led to Otani's room, "Kazuki?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think papa's going to eat us?"

Kazuki didn't answer but took a hesitant step closer to the door. He was followed by Tenshi all the way down the hallway and soon they found themselves looking up at his door. "Tenshi," he whispered, "If he does call 911."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"Cuz I don't know the number."

"Oh, then I'll call."

"Do you have a phone?"

"No."
