DAY 21 (Saturday)

Sanada barely slept that night. The dark rings under his eyes showed how tired he was. Yanagi and Inui were at It during the whole night. Thanks to some mysterious juice the man created. Breakfast was painful. He nearly burnt himself with his coffee and suffocated with a slice green tea cake. He seemed to be so not himself that Yanagi drove him home. Inui would have done it but Rikkai's former Emperor refused to sit in the same car as the Dataman. He was sure he would try to poison him with some strange pills.

When Sanada entered his house he was surprised by the silence. It was Saturday morning and usually his mother would be in the kitchen humming some traditional songs while cleaning and his father would be in the dojo practicing with some of his friends. He went up to his room, tidied it, phoned Yukimura and showered before trying to understand what was happening.

He phoned a little note next to the answering machine explaining that they were at his brother's place to help them to pack their suitcase. They didn't ask him to come but they told him to wait for the children to arrive. They wanted him to spend the day with them as they were to leave in the evening and they didn't want to be bothered by the children while packing.

He had just put the note his shirt's pocket when the children barged into the living room. They saw him and hugged him around the legs. Kagami was weeping and Kuan Ti was smiling. Well you could see that his smile was strained.

"Say uncle Gen-chan is it true you are happy that we are going away? Dad told us that this morning."

Sanada wanted to rush out of his home to punch his stupid older brother in the face. True he complained about them. Who never complained about his children or the children of other people? He knelt in front of them.

"That is not true. I am sad. It is true that I was angry because of all the stupid things you did but I never said I was happy to see you go and live in China."

"But Dad said so."

Sanada sighed.

"Your father was angry because you were injured. I am sure he did not mean what he said. We are supposed to spend the day together. What do you want to do?"

Kagami looked at him with eyes filled with hope.

"Yes Kagami?"

"I would like to go to the zoo. Do you think Yukimura-san can come with us? I really like him a lot."

Sanada didn't really like going to the zoo. When he was a child a monkey stole his favorite baseball cap and he hadn't forgiven the poor animal yet. But seeing that his niece really wanted to go he agreed after having made sure that the little boy wanted to go too. He phoned Yukimura who agreed and told him he was meeting them in front of the zoo.

So they went. A beautiful lady went to them and kissed Sanada on the lips. Poor Genichirou didn't know what to do. It was the first time an unknown woman kissed him. Fortunately Kuan Ti recognized his uncle's lover and hugged him. Sanada didn't believe it.

"I thought you wouldn't be ready to walk hand in hand with another man in public so I borrowed some of my sister's clothes and took away two grapefruits. Now we look like the perfect little family." Yukimura whispered.

Sanada kissed him tenderly to thank him. The children understood and behaved as if they were going out with their parents. They really enjoyed the outing and they even managed to make Sanada go to the monkeys' area. Everything went well. Kuan Ti almost fell in the bears' fold and they nearly lost Kagami because she stood behind watching the penguins.

In the end they went to eat some ice creams. It happened to be the least peaceful part of the day. The children quarreled because they didn't want to drink orange juice. Sanada refused to buy them Pepsi as the ice was already full of sugar. Because of that they left and went back to Sanada's place. Yukimura didn't want to come with them but the children insisted so much that he agreed.

When they arrived the whole family was waiting for them. Sanada Gennosuke was glaring at them as his brother didn't say anything as far as their little outing was concerned. Said little brother apologized. The children went back to their mother's side and smiled. Some tears were rolling down the little girl's cheeks and the little boy didn't look at his uncle.

Li Mei made them sit in the car. She hugged her brother-in-law and kissed her mother and father-in-law before stepping into the car. Gennosuke said nothing. He just looked at his parents and his brother. He nodded and muttered something about calling them when they arrive. They left.

The whole family watched them driving away. They didn't follow them to the airport. Gennosuke didn't want them to see them leave there. Sanada was the first one to go back into the house. His father followed him a few minutes later and his mother went to Saruwatari's place to give her a little present from her elder son. Yukimura took advantage of the situation to enter the dojo. He knew Sanada would be there.

And indeed there he was, slashing straw dummies with his brother's sword. Yukimura watched him and when his lover collapsed, in tears he went to hug him until he fell asleep on his lap.

A/N:Last chapter. Next week will be an epilog and then the week after maybe a brand new fic… Still don't know but I really want to go on writing about Sanada… Don't have many things to say. Well I only hope you enjoyed reading this fic…
