Yuki was cranky, when he had arrived in Kyoto last night, his father had stared at him in shock and then lectured him about his life. Yuki had drowned most of it out, how ever when the old man had dumped him out of bed at 6 am it had been a different story. He had quickly dressed and left the temple. He headed to where the bookstore was, it wouldn't be open at this hour but at least it was something to do.

As he parked his car he looked around, this was a relatively nice shopping area. He could easily see himself bringing Shuichi here for a date. He added that to his mental list of to do's, he's ask Mika to babysit or something. As He walked around nodding to the few people out and about, he came to a park with a playground. He sat down on one of the benches his eyes fixed on the swing set.

Shuichi stepped off the subway and headed to his favorite bakery to pick up a chocolate strawberry turnover, and a tea before heading to the bookstore. It really was amazing in less then a month he had become a part of this community. He found that he liked the feeling, of so may people carry about him and Laylee.

Yuki stood up walking back down the street figuring he'd get something to eat. He saw a bakery it actually smelled good from here. He nodded to himself heading for the shop.

Shuichi thanked the Baker for the bag as he handed over his order.

"No problem Shu-chan, I'm gonna give that girl her first breads" He laughed, "might was well get her addicted to it now" Shuichi laughed with him walking backwards and out the out door. Just as the bell chimed the entrance of another customer.

Yuki walked up the counter, but stopped closing his eyes he smelled Strawberries...like the brats favorite body lotion. He opened his eyes to look around expecting Shuichi to just suddenly appear next to him. Just as suddenly as the smell hit him it was gone. He sighed and order a coffee with a Strawberry bagel.

"You're new here" the baker said looking at him. Yuki raised an eyebrow, but nodded.

"Just visiting or moved" he asked, the morning where always slow until around 10.

"Heard about a bookstore that was good around here" Yuki said simply. The baker nodded at his comment.

"That would be Sun and Snow book store owned by the Yukimora's" he said, "one the best bookstores around"

"You know the Yukimora's?" Yuki asked now he was fishing maybe his man had some answered.

"Yeah, I remember when Yuna opened the place with her partner Layla" he said a sad smile in his lips. "thought for sure Sora and Fuji where going to sell the place, but they didn't. It's been nice having them around" Yuki nodded taking in the information.

"What time do they open?" he asked drinking his coffee.

"In about..." he looked at the wall clock, "20 minutes"

Shuichi walked down the street towards the bookstore, he was humming happily to himself. As he got to the door, and stopped. He turned back around and looked at the car sitting in front of the store. It looked like Yuki's car. He looked up and down the street before stepping closer to the car. He looked in the window squinting to see through the tinted windows. He jumped back fast in a panic...it was Yuki's car. His Kumagoro was sitting in the back seat where Yuki had tossed it last time they rode together. Shuichi looked up and down the street caught between wanting his bigger lover to appear and wanting to hide. He saw a flash of blond hair coming out of the bakery, and bolted into the bookstore.

Shuichi had to think about Laylee, Tohma had come back by a few days ago to try once more to get Shuichi to give Laylee up. When Shuichi had stayed strong against him, he had mad it perfectly clear that if Yuki so much a heard a breath about or saw a hair of her, Tohma would ruin Shuichi and he would not have Laylee long.

"Shu-kun what's wrong honey?" Sora asked looking at his pale face.

"The blond man, don't let him know what you know me or anything" he said taking deep calming breaths.

"All right but I want an explanation later. Here's the books go up stairs and you can work on it while I deal with him" Sora said holding out the brown package. Shuichi took it and headed up stairs. The door upstairs closed at the same time as the store door opened and the infamous Eiri Yuki stepped in.

"May I help you find anything?" Sora asked calmly. Something about this man had Shuichi in a panic.

"I'm looking to speak with Sora Yukimora" he said politely.

"I am Sora. what can I do for you?" she asked

"I wanted to ask you about your daughter, Yuna" He said

"What of Yuna?" she asked

"It is my understanding that she passed almost 5 years ago" He said

Shuichi sat at a table by the window looking through the book. He decided he'd read it aloud so that he could picture the image to go with it.

"No matter Where you are...

Do you know what makes Daddies so great...well let me tell you

Daddies do it all...they chase away the monsters

They make you funny pancakes

They play peek-a-boo until you stop crying

They laugh with you and cry with you

They give really good hugs...and kisses

But you know what makes them even better...

It's that no matter where you are

How far you've traveled

Or what you've done

...

They always love you more then anyone else" Shuichi a tears in his eyes as he finished. But, nothing prepared him when he flipped the book closed and saw the author name.

"Yuki" he said horsely before starting to all out sob. He looked out the window with blurry eyes as he heard a car start. He sobbed as he watched Yuki drive off.

"Oh Shu, tell me what's wrong" Sora said coming over to him. He clung to her, sobbing about being wrong and ruining everything.

"Shhh, honey it's going to be all right" Sora said soothingly, Shuichi was slowly calming down. At least he was until he realized the back of his legs where wet. He pulled back slightly to see he was standing in a puddle.

"Oh god...FUJI PUT UP THE CLOSED SIGN." Sora yelled helping Shuichi down the stairs.

Yuki sat out in the garden of the temple his lap top in his lap. His mind couldn't be further from writing though. Honestly he had the over whelming feeling that things had change drastically.
