Ch. 13

(A/N): Hello everyone, it's finally up the next two chapters up. A little longer one and a short one. I have decided that will be all until August 12 when I move back into my new dorm, along with a chapter for Haruhi's Study Date series. That is all for now as I'm out of time today. Thank you for everyone who has been following and for all the reviews. I do not own MK-LT.

Ch. 13

After the kids had their breakfast and gotten ready for the day they had heard the doorbell ring. "I wonder who that could be?" said Mrs. Irie smirking as she went to the front door. To no surprise to anyone it was Yuki's girlfriend, Yoshimi.

"Yoshimi!" shouted the kids as they ran to hug the young woman before Yuki could do anything.

"Oh you kids are so cute," said Yoshimi giving the kids a hug. Yuga gave a smirk to Yuki over the young woman's shoulder. Yuki playfully sent him his own smirk before walking up to them.

"Hey don't I get something," said Yuki playfully pouting. Yoshimi giggled before giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Kotoko chuckled at her kids and Yuki's behaviors. Everyone else was surprised at Yuki's behavior. Mr. and Mrs. Irie had seen the change Yoshimi brought to Yuki, but had never seen him so playful before. Naoki was just shocked at the way his brother was behaving. He had always known his brother could be mischievous, but to see him act so playful it showed him how truly distant they had been over the past few years.

Yoshimi noticed Naoki watching them. Yuki had explained long ago why he was no longer close to his brother. Even though she was shocked at what he had done, she could never be rude to the older brother; after all he helped her get Yuki.

Long time ago when she and Yuki went to Tonon Jr. High she had always wanted to at least be friends with the supper smart Yuki Irie. She had one day ended up following him to his house, but did not know what to do next. That's the first time she met the older brother.

"Are you a friend of Yuki's or something?" asked a voice coming from behind her. Slowly the young girl turned around to see an older guy who looked just like Yuki.

"I'm Yuki's older brother Naoki Irie. Can I help you with something?" asked Naoki.

"Um, um," said Yoshimi not really knowing what to say. Naoki just chuckled a little bit.

"I get it, you must have a crush on my brother," said Naoki. "Well my brother is somewhat like me, but it I think the way things have been I think he would give you a chance."

Yoshimi had no idea what he was talking about, but thought that last part may not be true. "Um, I don't know what you are really talking about, but I think you are wrong about that last part," she started to say. "You see I'm not that smart, and when I say that I mean I'm in class F-2 which means I'm in the lowest of the low."

Naoki once again chuckled. "These days my brother doesn't seem to be like me." Once again she had no clue what he was going on about. "We had an old family friend stay with us, along with his daughter. She was also in F classes. My brother used to call her a baka." At that Yoshimi thought she didn't really have a chance. "But ever since she moved away I can tell he misses her a lot." Her hope went up a bit.

"I thought I saw someone following me," said Yuki appearing in front of them. "And you, Mom is waiting inside, something about your test scores or something."

"Alright, good luck Miss..." Naoki started to say.

"Yoshimi Sagawa," said Yoshimi bowing to the older Irie.

"It's nice meeting you Sagawa-san," said Naoki bowing back to her leaving the young girl blushing.

From their Yuki and Yoshimi began talking. Later on Yuki told her about Kotoko and why she moved, and when they started dating Yuki took her to meet the woman he thought of as a sister.

After the two woman met they had an instate connection. Yuki joked and said it was probably because they both came from the same class; that comment only got him in trouble with the two of them.

Yuga even though he was only two at the time made a connection with her as well, even claiming when he was five that Yoshimi was his girlfriend and would still her from Yuki. She was even there the day that Yuga found out about his real father.

On the way back to Tokyo Yoshimi and Yuki had a conversation about what had happened during their visit.

"I got to say that kid is very observant and smart," said Yoshimi.

"Well even though I hate to admit it, he does have my brother's genes," said Yuki looking out the window on the train.

Yoshimi looked at her boyfriend and smiled. "Well your smart too, and Sara is a pretty smart guy himself," she started to say. "Besides he was bound to find out at some point, but it is good that he has a good outlook on the situation. Plus he already knows what he wants to do in the future and at such a young age.

Yuki just smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Yeah, you got a point there."

After all that time she always believed that she knew the time would come, but she wish it was in better timing.

Yuki had told her what Sara had asked him and Shigeo, and during that time they talked about what would happen. As if reading her mind Yuki said, "Go ahead and ask him."

"So, did Kotoko punch you?" asked Yoshimi.

All the other adults, including Naoki and Kotoko said, "Yes."

"So does this mean…?" asked Yoshimi.

"Yes," this time the kids answered for the kids.

Kotoko and Naoki looked shocked as Yuki and Yoshimi gave each other money.

"You guys betted on our actions?" asked Kotoko.

"It just sort of happened when we talked about it," said Yuki justifying the situation like it was nothing.

"Sure it was."
