Here's Chapter 3 of "A Heart In Need"
A/N: I'm trying to update as much as possible because I have an idea for another story. Anyways I hope that this story actually makes it.
Chapter 3: Saya
Saya was still in Kai's room, lying on her back on the bed. She inhaled, then exhaled deeply. "Haji, where are you?" She closed her eyes and tried to calm her thoughts. Then she heard the rustling of a blanket. Saya opened her eyes and looked over to the crib. Aiyu and Yuki had woken up. Saya smiled at them, and sat up. "I guess you two are hungry?" Saya said to the toddlers. Aiyu looked at her with blue eyes, smiling and clapping for no reason. Saya couldn't help but giggle at her niece's cuteness. "Okay, come on you two. Who wants waffles?" Saya got up and walked over to the crib, taking Aiyu out of the crib and putting her down on the floor, then removing Yuki from the crib, who was still a bit tired.
Saya had put the girls' in their high chairs, Aiyu in the blue one, and Yuki in the red one. she realized they were home alone after searching for Kai and finding a note on the bathroom mirror:
Saya,
David, Julia and Lewis went home late last night. I thought you could use some time alone with the twins, since this is the first time you've seen them in a while.
Have fun and be safe,
Kai
"Gee, Thanks Kai. Alright, girlies. Let's get some food in our tummies." Saya said, taking 4 waffles out of the waffle-iron and putting them on 2 plates. "Yay!" The girls said in unison. Before Saya brought the food to them she cut them into small squares so that the girls could pick the waffles up easily. "Ta-Da!" Saya said, putting the plates in front of the girls. Aiyu's face lit up as she picked up a waffle square and popped it into her mouth. Yuki followed suit.
Saya went to the fridge and took out a carton of orange juice. She sat it on the counter and then went to the cabinets above the dishwasher, and took out a red sippycup and a blue sippycup and a glass. She shook the orange juice before pouring it and gavethe twins their cups. Saya poured herself a glass and sat down at the table, watching Yuki and Aiyu. "You're just like your mother," Saya said, touching Aiyu's nose. "And you're just like me." She said, caressing Yuki's chubby cheek. Saya took a sip of the orange juice and looked out the kitchen window. Light poured through the glass and settled on the kitchen table.
"Wow, it's really pretty outside. Maybe later we'll go outside?" Saya looked at the twins. "Yay!" They both exclaimed. "I'll take that as a yes." Saya smiled, and took another sip of her orange juice. She was about to set her glass back down when she heard a thump come from the master bedroom. Saya immediately stood up, taking her battle stance. The twins, oblivious to what was going on, continued to eat their waffles and drink their juice in peace. Saya carefully and quietly stepped out of the kitchen, taking a knife from the knife holder as she exited. There came another thump, this one made Saya jump a little, but it didn't deter her concern for the twins. Wielding the knife, Saya came closer to the door and heard yet another thump. She reached for the doorknob, but then stopped to collect herself.
Once she gained composure, she quickly opened the door, ready to strike. Saya stopped when she saw a rose with a lavender ribbon tied to it. "Huh…" Saya cautiously walked over to the rose that lay peacefully on the bed, and picked it up. "… Haji…" Saya looked at the rose as tears filled her eyes. She held the rose close to her chest and tried to hide the tears that threatened to roll over the edge.
"Saya…" A voice that sounded familiar said.
Saya gasped lightly, and turned around, still holding the rose in her hand. The tears that were so close to the edge finally fell, not as tears of sorrow but tears of joy. "…Haji!" Saya ran to him and collapsed in his arms, an emotional wreck. "Haji, I missed you so much. You kept your promise. You came back…" Saya buried her face into Haji's chest and cried heavy tears of joy. Haji soothingly rubbed her back. "Saya…I never left you. Even though I wasn't here with you I was still in your heart. I was still on your mind. You never let me go." Haji said, hugging her tighter. Saya looked up at Haji, her brown eyes twinkling with tears. Haji stepped back and took the hand that the rose was in and held it tightly. "I'll never let go, Saya." Haji said, kissing her cheek. Saya looked up at Haji, staring into his violet eyes.
"And I won't ever let go, Haji." Saya said, slowly inching her face closer to his. Haji brought his lips closer to hers until he felt their lips press together in a soft kiss. Saya's hand reached behind Haji's head and held onto his neck. Haji held Saya's waist with both hands as his cold lips pressed on her warm lips. The kiss lit a fire in Saya which she almost couldn't control, causing her to break the kiss.
"I love you, Saya. I always have and I always will." Haji said. "I love you too, Haji." Saya said, kissing Haji's cheek. A cry of delight broke Saya and Haji out of their trance. "The twins?" Haji asked. "Yes, Kai has been watching over them since I was in hibernation. I made them breakfast." Saya said, walking towards the door. Haji, of course followed her. Saya walked into the kitchen and saw the twins playing in their food. "Oh my goodness! You're supposed to eat it, not play in it." Aiyu and Yuki looked at Saya, but Aiyu continued dumping waffle scraps onto Yuki's head, making her cry. "Aww, poor Yuki," Saya said, picking the child up. "Haji. I'm going to go give these two a bath,will you wait for me?" Saya said. "If you wish for me to bathe them for you, I would be happy to." Haji said, with a calm look on his face. "Thank you, Haji."
