Chapter 2: Wedding plans

Yuki felt exhausted as she reclined back in the plush leather seats of the car. She had had a very long and exhausting day going over plans for the engagement ceremony with the wedding planner. Now she was on her way to visit Tsukushi her best friend whom she hadnt seen in three very long years. Although Tsukushi knew Yuki's reason for fleeing japan and accepting the job at the famous Sakura Bakery in Chicago. She looked up as the driver stood in front of her holding the door open. The second she stepped out of the car she nearly fell over as Tsukushi ran up to hug her. Yuki welcomed the warm embrace hugging her friend back with the same tight grip. As they sat in the grand living room Yuki watched in awe as she watched Tsukushi interacted with her son. Though he was only eight months old baby Tsuyoshi was the striking image of both his parents. From his mothers big brown eyes to his fathers curly hair.

"Yuki of course i would love to help you you plan your engagement and wedding, your my best friend and you did the same for me. Tsukushi stated with a huge grin on her face.

Yuki smiled knowing that it wouldn't have taken much convincing to get Tuskushi to help her. "Thanks Tsukushi".

The next couple of hours had past with them talking about plans for her engagement party. Which was to be held in two weeks from today's date.

Tsukushi could not hide her excitement for she was helping her best friend plan her engagement party and wedding. Tsukushi knew how Yuki had always loved Soujiro and how he had broken her heart, though the arrogant bastard had no idea. She thought as she watched her best friend drive away through her window, It was late and the had made plans to continue the next day because Yuki was tired due to her long day and even longer flight and Tsukushi needed to attend to her son.

"Oi Makino!" her husband called to her,pulling her our of her thoughts

He had a worried look on as face as he asked her "Are your alright, did something happen.?!" He says with a little panic in his voice, noticing the concerned look on her face.

"No." is all she says, follwed by a huge smile "Yukis back!"

Completely surprised by her statement he immedeatley thinks of Soujiro. Quickly rummaging through his pockets he grabs his phone and begins dialing the familiar number, while Tsukushi quickly runs up and snatches his phone from his hands.

"What are are you doing you crazy woman!" he said as he looked at his wife with confusion as he ran up to grab his phone back.

"NO!" Tsukushi yelled. "NO!, you can not tell him. She made me promise that he would find out on his own. Please Tsukusa don't tell him?!" She gave him a scary look wich meant he knew better then to not listen, but at the same time he could tell she was pleading with him to keep the secret. He obliged not being able to say no to his wife, not matter how big or small the request. No matter how much he had seen his best friend suffer in these last 3 years, it just wasn't his place to say anything

Soujiro had stumbled out of the club waiting for his driver to come take him to another club. He hadn't drunken this much since he found out that Yuki had left, left him .He remembered how nothing after finding her gone had been the same. The first night she had left had been his worst. And the few months that followed had been no better. He remembered how he had begun to see her face in each one of his one night stands, and how he tried to sleep with many numbers of women just to see her. If not for his friends he thinks, he'd probably still be stuck on that downward sprial. Though every year as his birthday grows closer, he begins to draw back on that pattern. Heading from bar to bar, women holding little to no interest than they had before. He was about to pull out his cell phone and call his driver to see what the long wait was, when he saw it. Saw her, he thought his mind was playing tricks on him as he saw her driver lead her out of the car before driving off. He almost looked away not bearing to let his mind torment him any further,when something in his body told him to continue looking.

The next thing he knew he was shouting out her name and walking towards her. He saw her as she looked at him with sheer panic running through her features. As he began to get closer she turned and ran as fast as she could, he continued to follow her. He had been chasing her for about five minutes when he had lost her. Giving up and thinking on the considerable amount of liquor he had consumed he he blamed it on his sub conscious playing a cruel joke on him and that he had imagined her. God how he had wished she was real, he thought to himself as his driver pulled up next to him and he got in his car.

She was still running, afraid that if she stopped he would catch her. Yuki had reached her hotel and ran inside quickly reaching the elevator to reach her suite. once inside she finally stopped running and began catching her breath. She had run all the way from the club district to her hotel wich was a long walk from where she had left him. She still couldnt believe how stupid she had been, telling her driver to let her walk back to the hotel to clear her mind. She shoud have known the risks, she would be taking walking through that area having known how often he frequented it. Maybe it was her heart that had made her do it without realising it. She walked over to her bed and noticed the hotel room phone blinking stating it held messages to be heard. Realising she had forgoten her cell phone that morning she begun to listen to the messages.

The first from the wedding planner confirming their appoint for tommorow to complete the arrangements for her engagement party wich was to be held in two weeks. The next was from her friend Hana calling to make sure she had arrived ok and to see how she was doing. The last message was from her fiance. He reminded her of how much he had loved and missed her. How he couldnt wait to see her again and how he couldnt wait until they were married.

Yuki picked up her phone and quickly dialed Ichioro's number. She waited until she heard him pick up. "Yuki-chan is that you?" he asked.

"Hai" she said to him confirming. "It seems i accidently left my phone her this morning im sorry if i caused you any worry." She could tell he sounded a little relieved as he spoke "Its ok." he told her. "How was the flight and the meeting with the wedding planner?" he asked her.

"The flight was long i got your letter" she said. "It was very sweet and thoughtful, thank you." She told him

"Its because i love you you know that right." he told her. They continued to talk for a half an hour as he informed her how the mettings were going with the investors for their new bakery opening in Japan and she told him how her meeting with the wedding planner and her small reunion with Tsukushi had went. He also told her that he would be finishing up to join her in about a day or so. She couldnt wait for him to arrive, having him near made her stornger. He made her feel like she was possible of accomplishing anything set before her. "I can't wait for you to get here." She told him sincerely with a small smile on her face.
