Ch. 15
(A/N): Hello everyone, I'm so sorry it has been a while since I have updated. I have fallen behind, but I plan to update two more chapters this week. On a side note I got my first bad review from a guest saying "This story shouldn't been written, I was not interested in a none existing. Love. Thumb down wouldn't buy." But then I saw that I got a new follower, MidnightWitch1812 (thank you by the way). I do understand that not everyone will want to read this story, and the last few chapters are not as great as the first few chapters. I have also gotten some advice from a friend to help better my stories. But I will not totally revise this story until I'm finished. This leads me back to the guest reader. This story will have an existing love, but I don't want to spoil anything just yet. It's like the saying "don't count your chickens until they hatch. This person will never know how this love came about, and that's all I will say for now. I do not own MK-LT.
Ch. 15
Naoki after he had left his parent's home went to pick up some things to take home to help make his wife happy before he told her the news, he is a father and his mother is Kotoko. "Oh boy," he said looking around his apartment. He had forgotten that their house keeper was on vacation because her daughter was getting married. Since Sahoko was away for a week Naoki was nervous all week, and had not been his neat self. Lucky for him he didn't have much to clean.
After he had cleaned everything up he went to work on making dinner. By the time dinner would be ready Sahoko would be home. Normally their house keeper would have dinner ready for them, but a couple of times they would cook for themselves if only one of them would be home. Most of the time since Naoki would have late shifts Sahoko would be home eating dinner alone; a few times she would eat with her family, or friends.
An hour later Naoki's cellphone started to ring. When he looked at it he saw it was Sahoko calling him, probably that she was on her way home. "Hello dear," said Naoki.
"Hello darling," said Sahoko. "I'm letting you know that I'm on my way home." There were a couple of times that Naoki told her he could always pick her up from the airport, but she insisted that she would be okay since most of the time he was working. However, this was one time he was thankful that she insisted that she could take care of herself getting home.
"That's good to hear since I have dinner almost ready," said Naoki. "I almost forgot that our house keeper had time off this past week."
"Its fine, a nice hot meal sounds delightful," said Sahoko. "I will see you in a few minutes."
'I only have a few minutes until my doom arrives too,' thought Naoki. "See you in a few."
Over at the other Irie home Yoshimi was looking over at Yuki who kept looking over at the clock on the wall. He had a growing smirk on his face. "Why do you keep looking over at the clock, and what's with that smirk?"
"If I'm right, it's almost time for somebodies doom to arrive," said Yuki as he was counting down the time on his hand under the table. 'And in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6…
Naoki was unctuously counting down as well, as if he could feel his untimely doom draw near. '5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Honey DOOM is here.'
"Hello dear, I'm home," Sahoko called out from the front door.
'And here we go,' thought Naoki. "Hello dear, welcome home," said Naoki coming out from the kitchen area. "How was your trip?"
"It was okay for the most part, but all the meetings went way to long for my taste," said Sahoko. "But I'm pretty sure the dinner you made will be delicious."
"I hope so, but I bet that over fancy restraunt food doesn't compare to nice home cooked meal, or compared to the nice meals that our house keeper preps for us."
"I'm sure this food is pretty good since you probably put a lot of thought into it," said Sahoko as she went to the dining table where her husband had set their dinner.
'A lot of thought," thought Naoki.
As they ate their dinner the happy married couple talked about their week. Sahoko doing more of the talking since Naoki was a little nervous about his news.
"So how is your parent's new house?" asked Sahoko as she took a few more bites of her food.
'This is it,' thought Naoki as he swallowed what food he had in his mouth with a huge gulp. "It's nice and has lot more rooms. I actually went over there today and you will never believe who was there of all people."
"Oh, who was it?" asked Sahoko as she was about to take another bite from her food.
"It was Kotoko." Naoki watched his wife freeze with her fork just below her mouth.
"Oh," was all she said as she put her fork down. "How is she doing with the death of her husband and all?"
"She is doing all right now for a mother of two." Naoki didn't like bringing up the mention of children since he and his wife didn't really have children. "From what Yuki has said they seem to be handling it a lot better now."
Sahoko was a little surprised that her husband brought up his brother's name. "Yuki, are you guys talking now?"
"Unfortunately for my brother, our father has insisted that we get better along for Kotoko and her children's sake."
Sahoko was starting to get a little suspicious over this conversation now. "Why would you two need to get along for their sake?"
Naoki was trying to keep a calm face, but on the inside he was freaking out. Naoki went and told her about how before Kotoko's husband died had asked her to move back home and that his parents thought that it would be a good idea for her and her children to live with them.
"I see," Sahoko could tell that there was more to this than her husband was letting, but felt that he was still not done.
"But there is another reason that Mikado-san wanted her to come back, he wanted her to rebond with us, and…" Naoki took a deep breath. "And so that Kotoko's son could bond with his real father, me."
(A/N): Thank you to all those who are still following this story, and after this chapter they will be longer again. And to MidnightWitch1812 you literally made my day.
