The next morning Raikou was awoken by a most delicious smell. It was wafting in from the kitchen. Upon further investigation it turned out Miharu was cooking breakfast and Yoite was even helping here and there. Miharu presided over the stove with Yoite mixed some things here and stirred things there.

"Good morning." Raikou stated the greeting pleasantly and Miharu turned around.

"Good morning Raikou-san."

Yoite hadn't noticed anything until he saw Miharu turn and move his lips. It appeared to be a greeting to Raikou so he also turned around to acknowledge the samurai and nod a hello.

"It smells delicious Miharu."

"Thank you Raikou-san. It's not done yet though if you'd like to get ready. Everything should be finished by then."

"Sounds good." Raikou left the kitchen to dress and brush his teeth. Yoite hadn't initially noticed him as he should have with his ninja training. It wasn't even after Miharu had greeted him that he was made aware they weren't alone. The Kira technique affects the senses though, the user losing them simultaneously but little by little. It could be that Yoite's hearing wasn't working today, perhaps dulled or perhaps gone forever; there was no way for Raikou to tell. He was fading fast though and he probably needed Miharu to erase him quickly.

Walking back to the kitchen and absorbed in his thoughts he made no noise as he stood to the threshold of the room. Once again his presence had gone initially unnoticed. And once again he saw something he did not expect to see.

Miharu and Yoite were looking at each other and smiling. No words were exchanged between them and suddenly Yoite was leaning down and kissing Miharu softly. It lasted only a moment but clearly showed all their true feelings. Another little peck was given before the two separated.

Raikou leaned back against the wall and away from their line of sight, smiling to himself. Well that explained everything.

"Raikou-san, breakfast is ready." Miharu was calling for him. He took a few more seconds for himself to not seem as though he had been right there and might have seen.

"Excellent. I'm quite ready. I hope tastes as good as it smells."

"I should think so. The recipe is a bit difficult, but I had help." Miharu stole a quick glance at Yoite when saying the last word. Raikou just smiled.

"Well, let's eat!"
