Secrets and Suspicions

Chapter 6: Celebration at Kawamura's

"Happy Anniversary Fuji and Sakuno-chan!"

As soon as the Fuji family arrived, they were greeted by the ex-Seigaku regulars. Instead of having a private family lunch, they had organized a surprise party for them.

Fuji and Sakuno thanked them. The restaurant was closed on that day. The place was decorated with lots of balloons and streamers. Sakuno remembered how she and Fuji got together at this same place with the help of the regulars. She looked at the rest of the regulars.

Tezuka and Oishi were at the counter chatting with Kawamura. Eiji and Momo were both attacking the sushi. Kaidoh and Echizen were minding their own business. The Fuji family sat together at one table.

"Nya, Risa-chan, come play with Eiji-jichan," Eiji called out to the girl.

"Yada. I want to play with Tezuka-jichan. He says my Barbie dolls are pretty like me. You said my Barbie dolls are girly," Risa replied, folding her arms across her chest.

"Hoi? But, Barbie dolls ARE girly. You should play with bears, nya," Eiji pouted.

"But I AM a girl!" Risa protested and went up to Tezuka to show him her latest addition of Barbie dolls. Tezuka just sat there in silence while Risa began chattering away about her dolls.

"I'll play with you Eiji-jichan," Ryoki said when he saw Eiji being sad.

"Yay! Let's play with bears, nya!" Eiji regained his usual vigor.

"Syuusuke, it's late. We should go home," Sakuno whispered to her husband.

"Ah, you're right. It's already 5 pm. But I have one more place to go after that we can head home," Fuji replied.

"Eh? Okay. Risa, Ryoki, we are leaving now. Say goodbye to all your jichan," Sakuno called out to her children.

"Eh? You're leaving nya?"

"Yup. I'm bringing her there," Fuji whispered to Eiji. Eiji's eyes widened and he nodded.

"Ja minna. Thanks for everything." Sakuno bowed to the regulars.

"Bye bye everyone." Risa blew a kiss to them.

Ryoki waved goodbye to the others and follow his family out.
