DAY 16 (Monday)

Sanada was woken by the sound of his cell phone ringing. He took it and picked up. It was 4.00am and he wasn't quite happy to be disturbed that early even though he was supposed to wake at 5.00am.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Genichirou, I am sorry to disturb you that early."

"It is nothing Nii-sama. What can I do for you?"

"I got a phone call from my children's school. I know you did not want us to worry but you should have phoned us before registering them in RikkaiDai. You know that I cannot pay for that school at the moment."

"I do know Nii-sama. Please do not be angry. As I work there it was easy to make them enter without paying the normal fee. Moreover Mother told me about your moving to China."

"It is the main reason behind my call. I want you to break the news to Kuan Ti and Kagami. We will be home on Wednesday and we will leave again on Saturday. We found a lovely house not far away from my new office."

Poor Sanada nearly fell from his bed.

"Wouldn't it better if you told them about it? I am really busy today. I have a private lesson with Yamagachi-sama and then I have to go to the law school for a mock exam that will last the whole morning. In the afternoon I have to coach the kendo teams in Rikkai and in the evening parents-teacher meeting"

"But you are not really part of the teaching board."

"Well I happen to help teaching physical education and I am in charge of the calligraphy club as well as the kendo club"

"And what about your law school?"

"I will teach law at Rikkai university. Everything is already decided. Father knows about it."

"I do not care at all. I want you to tell your nephews that they will leave Japan. If it is impossible just make our neighbor do it. They like her lot."

Sanada Gennosuke hung up leaving a flabbergasted little brother behind him. Poor Sanada stood up and took a bath hoping it would help him to find a way to tell his nephews that they would be leaving Japan by the end of the week.

His morning lesson was boring. Yamagachi-san didn't listen to his advices and nearly broke his wrist because he kept swinging his sword with too much strength. Sanada couldn't say much as the man was related to the CEO of the bank in which his father was working.

His mock exam had been a failure because he forgot to bring his penal code book. He was allowed to borrow one from the library but his was filled with notes and explanations. So he was the last one to give his papers back and well he hadn't been able to finish.

As a result the kendo teams from Senior and Junior went through a training which would have killed them if Yukimura hadn't come to save them. Well it hadn't been enough to prevent them from running fifty laps around the whole school ground. Sanada asked his lover to look after them as he had to go to the kindergarten section to talk to his nephews.

Once there, he didn't know what to do. He wanted to tell them the truth but he didn't know how to proceed. The teacher, who was with them, felt that something was strange. So she left the tree of them alone. She just asked him to call her before leaving.

"I learnt you obeyed today. That is really nice. Your parents will be proud of you when they come home."

"When will they come home?" an overly polite Kuan Ti asked.

"On Wednesday evening. Your father phoned me this morning. I have something else to tell you but I do not know how to say it. I just hope you will not be mad."

"Why?"

Sanada sighed and rubbed the back of his head.

"You are moving to China on Saturday. Your parents bought a house and your father has found a new job there. So you will no longer see Saruwatari-san. Maybe during the holidays if you are coming back to Japan. It will depend on your parents."

Kagami began to sniff and tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"Don't want to leave. I want to stay here with you Uncle Gen-chan!!"

Kuan Ti kicked in the nearest teddy bear and then he started to punch his uncle in the stomach. Sanada understood and said nothing. He let them vent out their frustration. Then he did something he never did before. He hugged them and brought them to the dojo. Once there he dismissed everybody and asked Yukimura to tell the head master that he won't be able to take part to the parents-teachers meeting.

He cleaned the dojo and left with the children. On his way to his car he phoned the old neighbor and asked her to prepare some clean clothes for the children as they were going to eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema.

Needless to say they enjoyed that evening and seemed to have forgotten about China. Sanada was really happy about it. He now had to tell it to the old lady but he decided to wait. After all she hadn't fully recovered yet…

A/N:Chapter 2 to make up with the lack of update. Still confused, still suffering. I hate this feeling… I wanted to show a more human side of Sanada. I also begin to think about my next PoT fic. I'm thinking about some Taka/Fuji or Inui/Sakuno…
