Ch. 12
(A/N): Hello everyone, wow another new chapter early in the month. I decided today would be a good day to post a new chapter early because I am now one over 50 followers. This means this month will have a new one-shot story, start posting a new story I have been working on, or I might do both. I still can't believe this story has gotten so many good comments. As I have just noticed only me and displacedtexan, "Executive Decision are the only ones this summer to keep up with fanfiction this summer, I hope more of MK-LT stories get updated in the future. I also am planning to update some of my other stories in the future as well, but that might actually be in August when I do. I hope you all have a great 4th of July, and I do not own MK-LT.
Ch. 12
The next day, as Mrs. Irie made breakfast, Mr. Irie and Mr. Aiharo were already sitting at the Kitchen table reading their newspaper. Mr. Irie looked over to his left as he saw his youngest son pull out a chair and sit next to him.
"Good morning, Yuki-Chan," said Mr. Aiharo. "Did you sleep well?"
Yuki let out a yawn before answering, "I slept fine, Uncle Shigeo."
"I wonder when Onii-chan, Kotoko, and the children will come down," said Mrs. Irie as she began placing their food down in front of them.
"I think we should let them sleep mom," said Yuki looking at his food with sadness. "It hasn't been the best few months for them since Sara past away. Heck Sara's sister, Konako, told me that the last few weeks they haven't been sleeping well, especially Kotoko since she would be coming back here."
"Just another thing to feel guilty about," said Naoki just walking in the kitchen. He had heard Yuki talk about how Kotoko and the kids not getting enough sleep.
"Well I would agree with you on that, but it mainly had to do with them already moving out of their apartment above their flower shop the last few weeks," said Yuki.
About a month ago Kotoko and the kids had moved in with Konako and her family, so they could have a place to stay while they sent their stuff to the new home Yuki and her father picked out. Moving out of the only home her children had ever known was depressing enough, but their mom was a little fearful of moving back to her old home town.
"I'm sure they will get up soon, especially Kotoko," said Mr. Aiharo.
Just like he said Kotoko walked into the kitchen, with her pajamas and a bathroom robe on. "Morning," said Kotoko yawning.
"How did you sleep last night?" asked Mr. Irie.
"I slept as best I could," said Kotoko as Mrs. Irie placed some food in front of the young woman, and patted her shoulder. "It still feels weird not smelling flowers in the morning when I wake up."
"That must have been wonderful waking up to a wonderful smell in the morning," said Mrs. Irie as she sat some food down for herself.
"It was, but my husband always said the best smell came from my coffee," said Kotoko smiling a little at the memory.
As Naoki took a sip of his coffee the taste to him, no offence to his mother, could never compare to Kotoko's coffee. For the past ten years he wished to drink her coffee one more time. Maybe since they would be seeing each other a little he would get that chance again.
After breakfast Kotoko had tried to help clean up, but Mrs. Irie wouldn't allow it. She sent her back upstairs to change, and told her that she would make sure to leave some breakfast out for the kids.
Before she got to her room Kotoko saw her kids coming out of their rooms still wearing their still looking a little sleepy. "Morning you two how did you sleep," she asked as she pat her daughter's hair.
"It was okay," said Ayu hugging her bear.
"Yeah I agree," said Yuga. "Did we miss breakfast?"
"No, Aunty said she would put you some to the side so she can clean up," said Kotoko moving her kids to go down stairs.
"You mean Nana right, mommy?" asked her daughter.
Kotoko just looked up at the ceiling, "Yes honey, just go down and eat, and make sure after words you brush your teeth."
"Yes mom," said her kids as they raised down the stairs.
When they got down the stairs they saw Naoki and Yuki talking to each other. "So you planning to stick around a few hours, or do you plan to go home to get ready for your doom?" asked Yuki teasing his brother.
"As much as I know you still want to see me dead I was planning to stick around until a little after lunch, or see what Kotoko planned to do with the kids today," said Naoki drinking another cup of coffee.
"Mommy told us that today we would have spent today unpacking everything," said Ayu announcing herself and her brother.
"But since everything is put away we are just going to hang around here if that's okay," said Yuga.
"Yeah that's okay since I can tell someone special that she can come see you guys today if you want," said Yuki smiling at the kids, and the thought of the special someone.
"You mean Yoshimi is coming to see us?" asked Ayu exited.
"Yep, she can't wait to see you kids," said Yuki. He then looked over at Yuga, "And don't think you can still Yoshimi from me, Yuga," playfully eyeing him.
"Will see about that Uncle Yuki," playfully eyeing him back.
Naoki felt a little jealous seeing his son and Yuki already having a strong bond with each other. He only hoped as time went by that they would have a bond just as great.
Thank you all so much for the reviews, follows, faves, and reading.
