Ch. 38

(A/N): So, sorry that I actually didn't update last month, I had a lazy spell and a death in my family. I have been throne of by everything I'm now back on track to writing and everything else I said I would do during my break. This chapter maybe short, but there will be another chapter tomorrow. That's all for now, I do not own MK-LT.

Ch. 38

"I thought I find you here," stated Naoki as he stood by the swing.

"What can I say, it's become my peaceful spot to think," quipped Kotoko. "Is there something you wanted to tell me?"

"I wanted to really you apologize about everything," Naoki started to say. "You are more right then you have been lately, everything has been going too fast, but are wrong at the same time.

"What?" asked Kotoko raising an eyebrow.

"Remember what we were going to talk about? We need to figure out what we are going to do now with Yuga and Ayu," stated Naoki.

"Yeah but I thought we do that with our parents, and Sahoko" said Kotoko.

"Well I thought we could talk first about what we want to do, then discuss it with them," said Naoki as once again, cautiously, sat next to his first real love. "But most importantly I wanted to talk to you about spending more time with m- Yuga."

"What?" Kotoko stated more with concern than a question.

"In the few weeks since you moved back and I found out I have a son I haven't really gotten to hang out with him much, but I don't mind taking it at his paste. I just want to get to know him, and even Ayu better."

Kotoko could tell that he truly wanted to bond with both her kids, and felt a little guilty about never telling him about their son, even if he hurt her; he still had a right to know. However after her son was born both of them were still not married, and she hadn't even began to date Sara even though she had begun to have some feelings for him. Kotoko knew that if she had told Naoki he probably would not have married Sahoko since they had a child together, and her uncle's company may have shut down thanks to her. Just like Naoki she made her own sacrifice.

"I don't know how he'll feel about that, but if you truly say you will go at his paste then I believe you," Kotoko finally answered with a small smile.

"Thank you, Kotoko," Naoki said smiling back, incautiously taking the woman's hand.

Kotoko felt a small chill go up her spine, she shot up fast like a rocket. "Um, I'll make sure to talk with him tomorrow when I get home from work."

With that she walked, practically running back to the house. Naoki watched wondering what caused that reaction, when he suddenly realized what he just done with his hand.

Face palming he remembered everything he had been warning Dr. Nishigaki about how she just lost her husband and to back off, but her reaction took him to when the woman of his everyday thoughts was madly in love with him. It made him think about the last three years, and his careful planning.

"What am I thinking, maybe it can be done early as planned, but when the truth comes out."

"That's why you should hold off on whatever you are doing."
