Chapter 6: NEW FRIENDSHIPS

As Soujiro played and replayed last nights events over in his head he could not get over his anger. Who would have guessed that Nishikado Soujiro would be this angry over some woman who was out of his life, but he loved. God how he loved her, more than he could have ever imagined possible loving anyone. This feeling was so new to him. He thought he had lost all chances when Yuki had left, and he had chosen to give up feeling as though he was not worthy for not realizing his love towards her sooner. And now her she was back in his life, but engaged to another man. The thought of that nearly broke his heart all over again.

This time would be different though, this time he knew that he loved her and he wasn't going to give up so easily. He would do everything he possibly could to win her back. She was the light to his darkness, the air to his suffocating life. If he were to lose her again he thought, he possibly couldn't survive it again.

He could still sense the anxiety coming off of Yuki as he looked at her from his chair across the room in the Domyoujis large mansion. He couldn't tell why she was so nervous and it bothered him a little. He didn't like it when something was worrying her, and she had been like this since last night. It worried him to think that she may be having second thoughts on the wedding, but he brushed it off knowing how much they loved each other.

He thought back at how he first meet her, the night his parents had thrown him a welcome party at one of their estates in Chicago. She had been there all alone as he watched when she entered through the door. He had watched her all night waiting for an opportunity to talk to her.

She looked so beautiful and innocent not like any of the other women there. He watched as she went out to the gardens and he thought now was his chance, as he followed behind her. He would go to the beautiful woman and find out what her name was. Just as he went to talk to her, he noticed how she cried out in pain, she had caught her foot in of the cracks. Instantly he was by her side.

Ever since that night they had been together, and now here they were engaged about to be married.

"A penny for your thoughts?" she asked while looking at him.

"Oh hello Sakurako-san, no i was just thinking." he said as he smiled politely at her.

"About Yuki?" she asked. How she longed to have someone who cared and loved her as much as Ichiro did for Yuki. She had just broken up with her current boyfriend because he didn't love her, and she had seen him out with some other woman. Though she knew how lucky her friend was because she had witnessed first hand Yuki's suffering over Soujiro.

"To be honest yes." he told her. "I was trying to figure out what kind of wedding gift I should pick out for her.

"If you like I could help give you a female perspective. We could go to the shops and choose from one of their many options."

"Thank you, but no thank you. I wouldn't want to imposition myself upon you." He told her honestly.

"It would be no problem at all. I love Yuki as if she were my own sister and would love to contribute to the wedding."

He did need to choose a gift for Yuki soon and he had no idea where to begin seeing as he was new to this type of situation.

"Alright then, thank you Sakurako-san. We could go after the lunch?" he asked waiting for her response.

"OK." she replied eagerly as she walked back up to where her friends were talking and catching up with Yuki.

Ichiro looked at Yuki and thought how had he been so lucky to find such a beautiful and truly wonderful woman for his future bride. She was so sweet and innocent and cared. How she made him and everyone else around her feel special for being in her presence. How unique and intense her love for those around her was. She was his very own version of heaven on earth.

Soujiro didn't know where to begin, he thought as he began planning on how to win Yuki back. He first set out to find any information and Mishima Ichiro he could with Akira's men, but that led did not led him anywhere. The man was completelyclean as though he had never done anything bad in his entire life. So know he had to find a way to get through to her, to let her know that he loved her. To get her to accept his love and be with him forever. He knew that even though she was engaged to another man, she still loved him as much as he loved her.

He was going to do whatever he it took to prove to her that he loved her. He was given this miraculous second chance and this time he wasn't going to waist it. He had been a fool ignoring her before and not realizing his love sooner. To let her go and let his pride get in the way and not search for her. How could he have been so blind in the past, he thought as he set out to go find her. The woman who in the last three years had taken control over his heart and mind without even knowing it.

It had been two hours and nearly 30 stores later and they still hadn't found the perfect wedding gift for Yuki. They were now in an antique jewelery store, and if he couldn't find anything here he would give up. He was exhausted from going shop to shop for the last couple of hours as he looked at the woman next to him he felt worse. She looked as though she could run a marathon. It had always surprised him how energetic women could be when it came to shopping.

"Ichiro-san look." Sakurako said as she tugged on his arm pulling him towards a display case. The display case held the most beautiful antique broachesand head combs. "Aren't they just absolutely goregeous?"

Ichiro looked at the broaches and head combs and acknowleged that yes, they were truly a remarkable sight. These would be a perfect wedding gift for Yuki.

"Would you like to pick one out for your wife sir?" the elderly owner of the shop asked as she looked at Ichiro and Sakurako

They both looked at the elderly woman and then each other as they began to laugh.

"Oh no were just friends" Ichiro said to the shop owner as he looked at Sakurako who was still laughing and slightly blushing.

"Yes were just here to find a gift for his fiance for their wedding." She told the woman as she looked down at the magnificent pieces before her.

"Oh in that case, if its a wedding gift you need you have come to the correct place." she said as she pulled out a very old, very beautiful antique head comb.

Sakurako couldn't believe that the elderly woman thought she was Ichiro's wife. He was marrying one of her closest friends and she had just come to help him pick a wedding gift for her. She looked at the man beside her who was admiring the piece of jewelry the woman had suggested. That was just crazy she thought as she began laughing silently again. Ever since she was a little girl she had always been fascinated by weddings and secretly that it was she in fact who was the one getting married.

Yuki and Tsukushi were now alone in the Domyouji mansion, as everyone else had already left and Tsukasa was upstairs playing with his infant son. Yuki loved being in Japan more than anything else in the world. This was her home, the place where she belonged and wanted her future children to call home as well.

These last few days had been tiring to say the least, but she was happy to have her friends by her side. She looked over at Tsukushi who had a troubled look on her face that worried Yuki. Her friend nearly never held this type of expression before after the whole Domyouji Tsukusa red notice incident which she handled in her own Makino way.

"Tsukushi is everything all right you look stressed?" Yuki asked taking her friends hand in hers.

"Yuki..." Tsukushi began but then stopped. To say that this was going to be a difficult task would be an understatement she thought as she began again. "Yuki theres something would should know before you marry Ichiro and I think it's time you found out."

Yuki was surprised by her friends words. What could Tsukushi be talking about. She was starting to get a little worried.

"Tsukshi whats wrong? What are you talking about your scaring me?" Yuki said as she waited for her friend to continue.

"Yuki, you know how much I dislike Soujiro and despise his past lifestyle and.." She said as she trailed off again trying to get all the words out. "Domyouji, Akira and Ruidon't think I know this but, when you left for America without a word it destroyed him. He went from bar to bar every night trying to die, once he had finally realized he loved you and it was to late. He had come to despise his birthday and hated whenever Domyouji tried to throw him a party. If not for Rui, Akira and Domyouji who knws where he would be right now. The way you left finally made him realize his love for you and once he thought it was to late he broke. I know I dislike him but nobody should ever have to go through something like that." Tsukushi said as she felt a huge wieght off her shoulders and looked at her friend who deserved the truth.

Yuki couldn't believe what she was hearing. Everything had come to her all at once and she was in absolute shock. Soujiro was in lovewith her, no there was no way that could be possible. She thought back to the engagement party where she had last seen him. How possessively he held her, the way his voice sounded, no it wasn't possible. She didn't know what to think, but before she knew it she was out the the door. She was off to go find Soujiro
