All the way back home Ichigo is partly carrying me. I need some rest cause I'm in so much pain, I feel like I'm giving birth again.

"ugh" I moan as a lay down on the couch, spreading my legs and arms I try to become one with the couch.

"don't go to sleep yet you should change first" Ichigo orders

"nngghhh!...i don't wanna"

I roll over and almost face plant onto the floor. But I catch myself before hitting the floor and Ichigo seems to have had a heart attack by the look on his face. He rolls me back on the couch.

"wait, I'll get you some clothes"

Ichigo comes back a few minutes later with a pair of pajama shorts and an old t-shirt.

"here"

Slowly sitting up I place the clothes on the couch beside me.

"owww…..unzip me" I lean forwards

*rriipppp*

I grab the t-shirt and put it on old school style. Where you put your head in the shirt then lower the front part and quickly slip your arms out of what you are wearing into the shirt. After doing that I wiggle myself out of the dress letting it fall on the ground, I slip the shorts on and plop back onto the couch.

"and you are still going to work tonight?" Ichigo asks as he sits down

"….yes…..besides I can't just leave Ayase and Junpei there alone besides that boss is coming tonight"

*sigh*

"so you do know that I'm coming to tonight with you then?"

"yeah…I figured that"


"ok come on Ichigo I'm ready now, Katsuya you ready to see uncle Kanou?"

I walk out of my room still a little sore. I have put on my black skinny jeans, purple sequin tank top and black/neon green platform stiletto zombie heels.

"yes!" Ichigo and Katsuya walk out of Katsuya's room. Katsuya has on pj like clothes since he's gonna pass out around midnight and Ichigo looks like he should be a bouncer.

Since they are both coming with me we decided to take the train. once we get there i see a line has already started to form at the front door. using the employee's only door we head straight to my office where i see Kanou has made himself at home in my chair.

"what do you think you're doing Kanou?" I place my jacket on the hanger.

"Uncle!" Katsuya run past and jumps on him.

"hello Katsuya! how have you been" Kanou grabs him into a big hug.

"hi" Ichigo mumbles

odd...so odd he shows very little emotion and is only kind to a very limited number of people and four of those people are kids.

"Katsuya mommy needs to talk to uncle Kanou so why don't you and Ichigo go find Ayase"

"ok!" Katsuya wiggles free and drags Ichigo by the arms out the door. I close the door behind them as a silence forms.

"So...what do you need to talk about?" Kanou's voice breaks the thickened air.
