DAY 4

Morning came and with it Saruwatari-san. She found Sanada asleep next to the kitchen door. She woke him up and asked him what he was doing here. He was too ashamed to admit that he let the children lock him out so he said that he went for a walk in the garden and the door closed. He didn't take his key and he didn't want to wake the children so he decided to sleep outside. She smiled and opened the door for him.

"Sanada-san if it happens again you can come and ask me for the key your parents gave me."

"I will. It did not want to disturb you."

As usual she woke the kids, made them eat their breakfast and drove them to school. Sanada didn't see them before their departure. He was really dirty and he didn't want the brats to see him that way. The main reason was that he wasn't sure to be able to control his emotions. He used to be someone who lost his temper quickly and this bad habit was slowly coming back.

Ten minutes later he was back in the kitchen. There was some miso soup and rice, coffee and bred. A little note was next to his bowl. He took it and read it.

"Sanada-san, I forgot to tell you that I won't be able to pick up the children after school. My daughter will come to visit me with my grand children this afternoon. I am really sorry."

Sanada sighed. He wasn't really happy about that but on the other hand he would be able to punish them for locking him out. But first he had to go grocery shopping. He wanted to invite Yukimura and his sister to eat. When he came home he decided to clean the muddy prints and study a little bit. The teacher talked about homosexual wedding and he asked the students to write an essay on the pros and the cons of such wedding.

He had been working on his essay for two hours when the phone rang. It was his father who reminded him to feed the koi fishes. Sanada nodded and told him that he would do it. He hung up and headed toward the little garden house. He took the fish food and went to the pond.

A big surprise was waiting for him. His mother's flowers were in a mess and plastic bags were floating in the water. He picked them up and fed the fishes. He didn't know why he decided to count them. One of them was missing. After having looked more closely it was the older fish which went missing. The carp his grandfather offered him for his 10th birthday.

. Sanada was in front his nephew and niece's school. The kids were really happy to see him. Sanda patted them lightly on their head before making them climb in his old car. Once at home the kids ran into the living room. They wanted to watch their favorite cartoon. Unfortunately the TV set seemed to be out of order.

Sanada was looking at them, waiting for them to come and ask him for help. Soon they were knelling in front of him. But he didn't move. They started begging.

"You want me to fix the tv set?"

"Yes uncle Genichirou."

"So can someone tell me why I had to sleep in the garden and why one of the koi fishes disappeared?"

Kagami began to cry while Kuan Ti was staring at his uncle. The little girl wanted to talk but her brother nudged her in the ribs. She cried louder. Sanada smacked the boy on the head and led him to the cellar. He locked the door and went up to talk with his niece.

"You want to tell me what happened Kagami?"

"Bro' was pissed because you didn't want to lend us a fish. I didn't want to participate but he threatened me. He said he will burn my favorite doll. So I made sure you were in the garden checking for intruders. Then he went to the pond and picked up a fish. We put it in a plastic bag and left the other one in the garden."

"And you locked me out."

The little girl nodded.

"Say I won't be punished because I told you the truth?"

"You will go to bed without eating and no TV until Saturday. Your brother won't be allowed to watch tv until your parents come bak. Last question, what happened to the fish?"

"It died so the teacher flushed it down the toilets. It was dead when we brought it to school. Kuan Ti must have given it too much to eat."

"Ok. Well it is too bad for both of you as Yukimura-san and Seiko-san are coming to eat. I know you like them."

He walked his niece to her room and went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Kagami wasn't crying. In fact she was smiling. She was the brain behind everything. She had him…

A/N:I didn't want to hurt the poor little fish. The kids wanted to do it so please don't punish me… Operation let's seduce Sanada can start and Niou will soon appear…
