Upon waking up I notice the lights are dim and it was night outside. I sit up and notice in the corner of the room Kadachi, peacefully asleep in a chair with paperwork on his lap.
I feel a sense of warmth knowing he is here and smile to myself.
(He must be very busy since he's been spending his time here with me, maybe I can help him with his paperwork!)
I silently walk over to him picking up the papers in his lap, as I scan over them a feeling of dread washes over me.
(What is this? Why is he signing all of his rights to the company away and to who??)
Just then I see movement out of the corner of my eye and look up to see Kadachi rubbing his eyes as he looks up at me looking confused.
"Kairi? Why are you up right now?"
I nervously and awkwardly laugh.
"Umm well, I wanted to try to help you with your paperwork but when I went to go over it I realized it wasn't meant for me to read I'm sorry…"
I pout bowing my head to him but he just chuckles and rubs my head before taking the paperwork out of my hands.
(I have a bad feeling, I feel like he shouldn't do this but I can't rely just on my gut feeling how can I be sure?)
"It's fine, you would find out soon anyway-"
I grab the paperwork back from his hands and jump onto the bed to read it.
"Hey give it back are you even listening to me Kairi?"
(Maybe…)
Just then I feel a very annoyed aura and look up to see Kadachi staring at me with cold eyes and arms crossed, I instantly get a few sweat drops from that frosty yet handsome stare.
"You're not even paying attention to me are you?"
He reaches over and grabs a hold of the papers.
"Wait Kadachi please don't sign your rights away like this-"
Kadachi hesitates for a moment as if unsure of something in that moment before finally speaking.
"We need to leave and start a new life, you will be so much happier-"
(What? He's doing this because of me! I can't let him give up on something like this because he's worried about me! He worked his whole life for this...)
"Kadachi…Please whatever you do, do not give up on your family business I promise I will be ok, I know I can get through anything especially if I have you here next to me."
I blush as I look into his shocked expression.
(I didn't mean to put it that way, gosh how can I explain myself this is so awkward!)
After what felt like an eternity but was really just a few seconds he smiles and pulls me into a hug.
"Every time…you seem to amaze me with how brave you are every single time."
I frown but hide my face into his shoulder.
(Hah, I wish I were as brave as you think I am, Because if I was I wouldn't have to depend on you right now and you wouldn't be thinking about leaving your company...)
Just then we hear a quiet knock on the door, Kadachi pulls away to get up to see who it was when it was suddenly opened.
I look at Kadachi who looked a bit annoyed and back towards the door, the hallway was dim too and it made it hard to make out who was there.
"Kadachi?"
Kadachi leans over and flicks on the lights revealing a small boy who looked to be the age of 4 in some hospital pajamas rubbing his eyes.
"Mommy? Daddy?"
I quickly get up out of bed and slowly approach him.
"Hey there, are you lost little boy?"
The boy seemed shocked to see it wasn't his parent's room he had just walked into and begins to cry.
"Oh no don't cry look at what I have!"
I reach over and grab a flower from a nearby vase and hold it out to him. He pauses in between his cry and while sniffling he picks up the flower from my hand, I smile warmly at him and rub his head.
"My name is Kairi and this here is my husband Kadachi, what's your name?"
He wipes his eyes while hugging the flower.
"Toshi"
I giggle.
"That's a cool name! Do you know your parents' names?"
Toshi glances to his side and then back at me.
"Well, I don't have a daddy but my mommy's name is Lunamaria Vandell."
(That name, Where have I heard that name from?)
Kadachi clears his throat and then bends down to his level.
"Oh? You're from the Vandell family? My sir name is Sheng, would you take us to go see your mommy?"
Toshi nods grabbing ahold of Kadachi's hand but as we stand up we are suddenly stopped as soon as we walk into the hallway by beautiful blond young women followed by two men in suits.
"Toshi! My baby there you are!"
She rushes over and scoops him up into her arms before turning to us teary-eyed.
"Thank you so much for finding him for me you are forever in my debt!!"
I wave my hands in front of me.
"No, it's fine don't worry about it, besides he wandered into our room by mistake we didn't know what was going on it was pure coincidence!"
She shakes her head and smiles at me.
"Nonsense! You're too humble, Here take one of my personal cards from my bodyguards and contact me if you ever need anything! Please it's the least I can do."
One of the bodyguards hands me a black and gold trim.
"Well, Thank you, Miss Vandell!"
Just then we hear a voice from behind us, and for a moment I feel my heart stop as an image of green eyes flash before my eyes. I quickly turn around along with Kadachi but freeze on the spot as I see Kadachi's younger brother Seto walking down the hallway towards us and with each step as he gets closer I feel my body start to tremble.
(Green eyes, that voice...My body is reacting to them, but my head is so fuzzy, theirs is no way, Seto can't be the one he's Kadachi's blood relative...but then why...)
As he approaches us, Miss. Vandell begins to speak excitedly.
"Seto! If I would have known you would be coming to visit us I would have greeted you at the entrance!"
(She knows Seto?)
I look up at Kadachi who was showing a blank expression. I then look back over towards them as he stops right in front of Miss. Vandell and they hug, as I watch them Seto looks up and we make eye contact, at this moment it felt as if I was in a horror movie as a sense of doom washes over me.
(something wrong, I don't feel right...Seto is a good kid there's no way!)
Just then I hear my name which snaps me out of my trance.
"Kairi?"
I take a deep breath and let it out slowly before looking up at him with a warm smile.
"Yes?"
I look deep into his eyes, I could tell he was trying to read me which probably meant I was easy to read at this moment because he grabbed a hold of my hand.
"You need some more rest we can save the greetings for tomorrow."
Seto smirks while modding.
"Of course! Well, stop by when Luna is discharged later today."
Kadachi shakes his head.
"Don't bother, afternoon she'll be discharged and will be going to our new condo, but hey when you go to work tomorrow tell Lucy that Mr. Roggerson needs to pull case 41 by the end of the day."
I notice Seto flinch.
"But weren't you guys going to leave the country?"
Kadachi smirks while pulling me closer.
"Well plans changed, see you tomorrow sometime little brother."
Kadachi turns around putting his hand up to signal goodbye to him as he leads me back to the room.
