Author's note: Dear Guest: Yes, the truth is that Lucciano have a little confusion about Francesco, seeing him as an idol, and to seeing him as a father were two things different for him. But still as a young child, there are things that he readily accepts. But has his doubts. I put the episode 12 quickly because I had a little more free time. I'll see if tomorrow I upload the 13th, and if I upload more fast the next week, because I have the week off. As always thanks a lot for reading. Greetings. :)
12.- Much Happens in one Morning.
The next day, Francesco woke up and noticed Luccia was not with him, an impulse made him jump out of bed and look underneath to see if she had fallen to the floor. But no.
He left the room quickly, and revised where Kaori was, only to realize that she either was and Lucciano.
Where had they gone?
He was scared; did not they would run away from him, could they?
Francesco walked to the living room, finding others people with Chuki and drinking tea around a table.
-Oh! Sorry ladies. - He blushed; he was in his pajamas in front of that group of 4 women.
- Hey Chuki. Who is the sexy bomb? - Smiled mischievously looking at the Italian man, a girl a little younger than Chuki was Suki, her younger sister.
- Behave, Suki. - Said, an older woman with traditional Japanese hairstyle, which adjusted her round glasses to watch this man who came so suddenly. - Chuki - Who is him? Shu knows about him? - Mrs. Mizuki, mother of the reporter, was a woman of a bit rotten mind, might think anything.
The pink haired girl smiled and shook her head, knowing what her mother was thinking, and leaving on the table, her cup of tea.
-Yes, mother, he is Francesco, a friend of us. He was to spend the night here with his family. - Chuki explained.
- With his family? Are he married? - Suki was a little disappointed.
-Yes, do not dream, sister, and stop eating him with your sweet alien eyes, or I will tell it to your boyfriend, Komodo. And you know he is very jealous. – Chuki warned.
-Shut up. – Suki whispered.
-Francesco... Francesco... - Began to remember Chuki's other sister. Ichigo. It was funny; the three sisters were very similar, cute and petite, like dolls from anime series taken from a dresser. Ichigo was a year younger than Suki. - Oh! I remembered, he's a racer from the WGP as Shu, right? -
-Right, Ichigo. – Chuki confirmed. - Why did not you remember? You, Suki and your friends go into the opening party the first year it was made. Should you see more television? Anyway... –She looks at the Italian racer. - Francesco, they are my younger sisters. Suki and Ichigo, and my mother Mizuki, arrived this morning from Towkyo, for my birthday. - Introduced her family.
-Eh... It's a pleasure, ladies... And, sorry for the interruption, but… Chuki? Did you not see Kaori and the children around? - Said without showing drama in front of them, if he had been alone the pink-haired woman had said what he was feeling at the time in real. He was scared to think that Kaori left without warning.
-Yes. Did you not see them? After breakfast, they went down the hall; she is giving to the kids a bath. – Chuki answered.
-Oh, so, he's Kaori's husband, isn't he? - Ichigo whispered after she drank another sip from her tea cup.
- Huh? Really? I think I slept too much, I did notice nothing, hehe... Good, thank you. - He turned around, saying goodbye to Chuki's family, and went straight down the hall, knocked the slide door a few times and opened it, sliding. – Kaori, is you here? - Had come to a laundry, next was the toilet with the sink, the other side had a washing machine and dryer, along with two baskets of laundry, on it were the pajamas of the previous night, in front of him, another sliding door. – This strange house... - He opened the next and found that all three were there, inside a huge tub overflowing all water on the floor , but did not seem to matter that happen.
-Aah! What are you doing? - Kaori screamed, blushing, closed her eyes and covered her breasts with her arms. - Why did not you say you were in? -
- Hello Dad. – Luccia greeted, and Lucciano waved his hand, at least they were happy to see their father.
- Well…. I thought... that... I called from outside but no one answered. – Francesco said babbling at first. - Sorry. - No, not really, he doesn't feeling sorry.
-Dad, you come here with us. - Luccia said.
- Yes, it's bath time, you have to be clean. - Lucky agreed with his sister.
Both children were enjoying it, even when they noticed the look of their mother's face and it seemed funny in an innocent way, of course.
- Whatever. - Francesco smiled, following the game and began to unbutton the pajama top .
-NO! We don't stay all here, he needs to come later. - The redhead woman began to despair and looked behind her a towel which was placed on top, on the water, did not care that the cloth is wet. Putting in her feet and around her body with white towel, Kaori came out fast from the tub. - I'll get dressed, you kids, I hope you clean well yourselves. And do not stay too long on the water. - Took another towel to wrap her hair and left from there.
-Yes Mom! - They said, the twins at same time.
Kaori left the bathroom and went to lock to the room for dressing, while Francesco saw her ran away from him, noticing how nervous she was, he laughed gently taking off the rest of his pajamas, really wanted to bathe. He encircled his waist with a towel and then sat on a small wood stool that was in the middle of the bathroom.
-Hey guys, how to use this bathroom? For dad this is very rare. – Francesco asked, the room was divided into three parts, the laundry, which also was the toilet, the washing part where you sat at the side of the tub to wash your hair and body. Finally, the tub, you could just relax in there.
- We will teach you how, Europe can you not do the same? - Lucciano questioned curious.
- Well, of course we bathe , hehe, but we do not have much gadgetry , the time I come to Japan I try to stay in hotels with European or American style, as in other countries and….. Why are they here these small wooden buckets? - He lifted one over his head and dropped from within a bar of soap on his forehead. The children did not hold the laughter.
Kaori heard the laughter of her children who came from the bathroom, while she was preparing herself, smiled, it felt so great to know that they were getting along with their father.
Minutes later the twins left the bathroom, soon arrived with their mom, and looked clean clothes.
- Mommy? Where are my yellow ribbons? I want to wear them today. - Luccia climbed on the bed behind Kaori, who sat brushing her hair.
- Your slats box is on the dresser there. - The redhead said with brush in hand, points to a beautiful box lined with pink and purple colors, adorned with stars gold and silver. - And Francesco? - Kaori asked, looking at Luccia through the mirror.
-He is bathing, did not understand how to use the bathroom, haha, that's funny. – Luccia laughed, the little one buttoning her blouse she chose to wear. –Mommy? Can you comb my hair? - She sat next to Kaori for the comb.
- Did he not understand? How odd... That is only a bathroom. - Took a thick tooth comb to detangle Luccia's hair. - Lucky, my love…. Do you care for your sister this afternoon? – His mother looked at him; the boy was wearing his black and red tracksuit.
-Yes. Why, Mom? Are you going out? - Lucciano took a towel to dry his hair.
-Yes, I must go out to the train station, we will go home tomorrow; I'll buy the tickets today. - Finish put battens to her daughter. –All is ready Luccia, you look beautiful. -She kisses her little girl on the cheek.
- As always. - Confirmed the girl in the mirror, finally sought a skirt to complete her outfit. - Thanks Mom. -
- You're welcome, my baby…. I'll ask Chuki to watch you two. - The redhead wore a very light pale blue dress with three-quarter sleeves , at that time it was very hot in Japan yet , tied her hair into a high ponytail and left the room , but not before said instructing her children.
Kaori asked the favor to Chuki before leaving the place, the pink-haired woman not denied in this regard and would stay that evening at home with her family, and then the children were playing with Garou in the backyard.
Within fifteen minutes, Francesco left the bathroom, and heard no noise in the rooms, so revised it.
Again, nobody there.
-It cannot be... Now where are they? – The Italian racer could not deny he was a bit paranoid, returned to the room assigned to him and dressed in the same clothes from the day before, not having more. Again he walked into the room where Chuki was still at the table, to asked the same thing this morning. Now she was alone in the place.
- Kaori came out recently, your children are playing in the back yard with Garou, so, do not worry, she said would come soon, went to buy train tickets to go back to Osaka. – Chuki explained to Francesco.
- Go back to Osaka? - The Shu's words, from the night before, the Italian man had to do something, let them go back would be a mistake. - Where do I get to the station? -
- Calm down, I have a surprise... - From a wallet took a paper, and handed it to him. - Here.
Francesco looked at her, strange, approaching slowly, stretching his hand as if he were about to take something nasty and sticky.
- What is this? – Taking the paper, but do not see it in great detail, especially because he did not understand Japanese, it was written in that language.
- A ticket to go to Osaka, a gift. - The pink-haired smiled.
- Gift? Are you sure? - He kept seeing it a little weird, raised an eyebrow and suddenly saw her askance.
- That suspicious, Francesco, you offend me, after all I've done for you. - Chuki put her elbows on the table; fingers clasped her hands and put her chin on them, looking at the Italian racer, as if she was very offended.
-All right, sorry... Thank you. - He said dryly. He wondered how the pink-haired managed all the issues. She always came with surprises, and why does she not give the tickets to Kaori? Maybe she had it all planned, hoping the redhead goes out and they were alone to talk about this.
- You should spend this time with your children, to know them better. – Chuki recommended without missing one second between the dialogues. The truth is that the reporter wanted that, he would stay to accompany children.
- You're right... I will go to see them. - He turned around to go back to the garden.
- Oh, by the way, you should bring your stuff here tonight; I mean what you have in the hotel. No problem if you stay, but, you must vacate the room where you are now, my mother and my sisters need to stay somewhere. - Said the Japanese.
-All right, no problem, but if I stay, where I go to sleep then? - He asked, giving her the look again.
-Easy, with your beautiful wife. - She smiled mischievously.
Francesco laughed gently, keeping the ticket in the pocket of his shirt, he said no more anything, just thought Chuki was a very calculator; she had very clear concept of family, and understood perfectly. Because pink-haired could die away from her son and her husband, was one of the reasons she did all this.
In the backyard, Garou, Luccia and Lucciano were sitting near a small pond. The construction of the place was very traditional, Shakkei style garden with a huge stone lantern near where the children were. (Note: Shakkei: typical Japanese themed backyard landscape, which can be seen in the homes of some anime series like Ranma ½ )
- What do you think know that you have a dad ? For me it would be amazing to learn that my dad is a famous man. Although my dad is also famous, but he has always been here . - Garou asked his friends.
- Well, for me it is great, now I know why I'm so perfectly cute and beautiful. - Luccia said, pretty sure.
- You're mean, Mom also is a beautiful woman, it's as if you had not considered with her. -Countered her brother, Luccia's comment sounded a bit ungrateful for his taste.
- Hey, I did not say that my mom was an ugly woman, I mean it is clear to me now my perfection, because if she's already beautiful and dad very handsome, then I am twice as beautiful and cute . - Luccia smiled after talking to her proud boastful tone.
Lucciano and Garou looked each; their silent gesture reflected the phrase: "You've not hopeless." (about her personality) Or "Yes, whatever you say."
Lucky sighed.
- It is good to know that Dad returned after he said he had been working a lot, I still could not believe it. To my, see him as a driver and as a father is very different. - Commented Lucciano, looking the pond.
- Something is not clear to me. Who would be that black haired woman who always went with him in photos in magazines and on TV? Lucky... Do you ever read those magazines or just had that collection to look at the pictures? - The curious and dangerous Luccia questions.
Lucky looked at her and smiled a bit, yes, he had read it, and something was not clear about, but did not feel the courage to ask Francesco on an issue as big. Now that they have recovered their father, thought to spoil so, would be a huge mistake. Although that left him a weight of equal size in the chest and mind.
Would it be better to keep quiet or face? Too much mental torture for a child of only six years.

Note: I have no idea what will Ichigo and Suki are with Chuki. In Towkyo Mater, they look like friends, with Yokoza, Harumi, Komodo, Chisaki among other characters there. But how Suki, Ichigo and Chuki are similar both in color and shape, I put the three as sisters, it is my invention and I like it. XD
