TabTabNana let out a sob as Katashi pulled away from her and headed off silently into the rain. She looked up at Kyou as he spoke but shook her head. “Just go away... please...” she croaked out, barely audible. “I just... just want to be alone... and you and I can't be trusted around one another...” she wept.

TabTabIt had taken Aiko nearly twenty minutes to find Yusuke, but she had finally found him comparing the prices and sizes on two particularly fine specimens of butternut squash. She nearly tripped when she came to a sudden halt in front of him. “Yusuke! It's Natsuko! I just got a letter...” she said, then felt her words get stuck in her throat. “Sh...she... she's gone...” she bit out.
Kyou let out a sigh before nodding in understanding. "I'll stay in a hotel for a while..So you can be home without worrying about seeing me," he said placing her walking stick near her before turning to leave. Why did things have to be like this?

Yusuke was very close to making a decision on which butternut squash he was going to choose until he heard Aiko's voice. He turned to look at her before dropping both of the squashes on the ground in shock. "W-what?" he asked. He couldn't believe it, he refused to do so until he saw it for himself. He quickly made a run to the hospital. This was just a bad joke from Aiko it had to be. A very very cruel joke.
TabTabAiko nodded, clearly distraught. She had wanted to tell Katsu as well, but he'd been at his anger management appointment, so she'd settled with just Yusuke.
TabTabShe ran after him towards the hospital, neither of them even bothering to stop and ask at the main desk as they rushed up to the room that had been Natsuko's, in the hopes of finding a doctor there. When they arrived, there was just one woman in there, making the bed and folding up old sheets.
TabTabWhere's the body?!” Aiko demanded, thrusting an accusing finger at the woman, her own teeth bared. Why had they moved Natsuko's body, already? Where were they supposed to go now? Had they already made ash from her?!
TabTabWhat body?” Natsuko asked, glancing over her shoulder in bewilderment.
TabTabAiko cringed, and looked at Yusuke awkwardly. Now she probably looked like an attention-seeking, s**t-stirring prankster with a very, very bad sense of humour. “Uh... yours. Well... Well... W-Well I got a letter! It said you were dead!” she squeaked, defensively, before glancing at Yusuke. “I swear! It said she was dead!
TabTabNatsuko chuckled. “No... I did die apparently. The last thing I remember was hearing my heart monitor go flat and ring out, then the next thing I knew, I woke up and they were wheeling me on some metal table down into the morgue... but... I feel great, right now! Perhaps dying was the way to go about it all?” she suggested, cheerily.
TabTabAiko just stared at her, awkwardly. “So you're not dead?” she asked. “I'm not imagining things? And you're not a ghost or an angel or something?” she asked, for clarification.
TabTabWell... I might be an angel,” she said with a grin, but then shook her head. “Right as rain. I feel fantastic. So fantastic, in fact, that I want to do something fun like... clean or cook! I haven't been able to do that in a while!” she said, excitedly.
TabTabAiko looked at Yusuke, sheepishly. “A...ha... ha... S-Sorry...
Yusuke just stared at Natsuko with widened eyes. He wasn't dreaming this was he? She looked so much better. She was standing up without wobbling and didn't look tired. "Is this real?' he asked as he approached her in shock. He reached out to her his eyes watering up a bit in happiness. It was a miracle she was on the verge of death not long ago and now she seemed to be glowing with life.
TabTabNatsuko turned around to face him with a smile. She put her hands on his shoulders and pulled him in. “Don't get me wrong, I've not got the strength I used to have in me... I mean... I've spent the best part of three years resting in bed, but...yes. It's real... it's a miracle... Maybe... Maybe I just needed to die for it all to go, y'know? They say that death isn't a bad thing... it's the beginning of a new life, right?” she said, pulling him into a hug, holding an arm open for Aiko to join them
TabTabThe redhead ran over to Yusuke and Natsuko and put her arms around the two of them. “Man Natsuko! You're like... Jesus!” she said, excitedly as she finally let go.
TabTabNatsuko cocked a brow. “Sorry... who?
TabTabNever mind... he was like this epic guy in this book I read a while back,” she said, shaking her head dismissively.
The next day a carriage arrived in front of the Inoue house. Two people emerged from it cautiously and looked at the house in awe. One was a handsome man with dark-brown hair wearing a dress shirt, dress trousers and black leather shoes. The woman was wearing a yellow dress and had jet black hair, she appeared to look rather nervous but calmed herself when she say Katashi approached them.
"Hi Mom. Dad. Did you enjoy the trip?' Katashi asked them curiously giving his mother a big hug and his dad a hand shake.
"It was very lavish, It made me feel a bit uncomfortable but it was fun,' Misaki said with a smile holding Katashi tightly. "How is my handsome boy? You eating well? getting enough sleep?' she asked and Katashi nodded sheepishly, feeling embarrassed at how she was treating him. "So is this my future daughter-in-law?' she asked looking over at the door with a smile to Nana.
"Yes. This is Nana," Katashi said with a forced smile. Misaki looked at him briefly taking notice of it rather quickly.
"Come here dear," she said gesturing Nana to come over.
TabTabNana had spent the night moping around the town by herself, and by the morning had been shattered. However, there had been no time to sleep, as she knew Katashi's parents were due to arrive at any time. She'd showered and hid her dark bags with make up, trying to pretty herself up as much as possible, but even make up could not hide her sagging posture and downright miserable expression.
TabTabShe watched at Katashi greeted his parents, waiting by the door, and listened to them to converse for a moment before Misaki glanced over at her. She averted her gaze as Katashi introduced her, and shuffled forwards when Misaki beckoned her over. Bowing her head, she forced a small smile, but she didn't look happy in the slightest, and spoke. “It's a pleasure to finally meet you both... You must be starving... I... I've booked a table at Konoha's finest restaurant, 'The Flaming Kitchen',” she said, and glanced down at Katashi's hand, wanting to reach for it, fling her arms around him and weep about how sorry she was, even though she knew sorry just didn't cut it, and probably never would.
TabTabShe refrained and retracted her own hand before it reached his. Blinking a few times to fight back tears, her nose twitched and lower lip wobbled uneasily. “B-B-But on... on s-second thoughts... y-you three should probably go without me... you... have lots to catch up on and I... I think I have a stomach bug...” she mumbled, on the verge of breaking down.
Misaki shook her head. "Oh you poor thing. There has been a virus going around lately in cloud maybe it has reached here as well," she said sounding disappointed that Nana wasn't going to join them. "We will see you when we get back then" she said with a smile heading back a bit off of her property.
"Look Nana I am still very cross at you but please sort yourself out by the time we get back. My mom has been dying to meet you and I'd like you to spend some time with them," he said calmly though if Nana looked at him she would be able to tell he was furious in his eyes. "We'll work things out after," he added giving her a brief kiss on the cheek before following behind his parents.
Kyou arrived some time later to pick up some clothing for himself since he didn't do so the previous day. He wanted to check on Nana but though it might be best to give her her space.
TabTabNana just nodded weakly at Misaki and bowed her head as the woman backed off slightly. She turned to leave and head back into the house, but Katashi stopped her. She looked him in the eye as he spoke and her brows furrowed almost fearfully. She'd seen him take his anger out on Kyou when he'd thought Kyou was to blame and she'd be lying to herself if she didn't expect to suffer a similar fate, now that he knew she was the one at fault.
TabTabShe nodded at him, hating the look of contempt and loathing in his eyes as he addressed her calmly, although, she could hear an undertone of anger in his voice. Her face crumpled slightly as he kissed her on the cheek. If he had actually wanted to kiss her, he'd have done it on her lips, but he was probably only kissing her because his parents were around.
TabTabShe waved goodbye and headed inside, breathing deeply to calm herself before getting to work. She needed a distraction and cleaning seemed like a good idea. The furniture that had been delivered had caused a lot of dust in the main room and if she were to entertain any guests, this would most certainly not do. Then, she would move on to clean their room, and then the bathrooms in the house.
Sometime later Katashi and his parents arrived back from 'The Flaming Kitchen'. Katashi lead them into the house and instantly Misaki made a bit of a face of disgust at some of the decor in the main hall. "Mom be nice," Katashi said though had a face of understanding.
"Of course dear, apologies," she said correcting her face instantly as Nana appeared in the hall with a tray of tea. "Hello Nana dear. feeling bit better?" she asked with a tone of concern. Katashi walked up to Nana and took the tray off her. 'I'll get that," he said with a forced smile to her. he looked down and noticed some biscuits on a plate. She tried to make some herself? He could tell since they were slightly burnt. his forced smile turned into a genuine one for a moment as the lead everyone into the lounge.
TabTabNana smiled nervously at Katashi's parents and Katashi. She didn't know if he would have told them about her... infidelity, and although she didn't think that he would, she wouldn't run the risk of looking too confident. Meek was the new black, it seemed, but it wasn't like she was actually having to try. She felt dreadful.
TabTabColour flooded to her face as Katashi took the tray from her. “No, it's fine... I ca-” she began, quietly, but stopped herself when she realised it wasn't worth having an argument about her capabilities, in front of his parents. She didn't like doing things for her, and although he never did it to undermine her and was normally just being a gentleman, it still irked her.
TabTabShe smiled, now awkwardly, at Misaki. “I... um... yes, thank you. I had a lie down for a while... I trust the meal went well? Sh...Shana-san is a very good cook,” she said as she followed Katashi through to the lounge and took a seat down on one of the love seats, although she sat in the middle so that Katashi wouldn't look strange if he chose to not sit by her, leaving enough room for him to come over and squeeze in beside her, if he did so wish to.
Misaki took a seat with her husband and Katashi did sit right next to Nana. "So Inoue-san, i heard you inherited your father's company," Katashi's father said which made both Misaki and Katashi shoot him a hard glare.
"What is it like having control over a multi-billion yen organization?" she asked curiously since her husband had went and stated such an obvious thing.
TabTabNana shuffled up to make room for Katashi. She looked at his lap, awkwardly, wanting to shuffle her legs onto it, or rest her head... or at least put her hand on his thigh or something! She didn't do anything. She glanced up rather quickly when Hiroshi stated the obvious about her inheriting her father's company. She nodded silently, looking between the three of them until Misaki asked her what it was like.
TabTabW-Well... it's... okay...? I... I guess?” she mumbled, then sighed. Katashi told her to get her emotions in check... well fine. She could do that. “It's not too difficult. I'm more like a figure-head. I'm not bad when it comes to finance, but I hardly know the job better at eighteen than the company advisors have, after longer than that working for the company, right? So... they tell me they're going to do something, I read over it quickly... if I don't oppose it, I send it forth and the shareholders vote. If majority votes in favour, then it goes ahead. It's not very interesting. If I could... I'd sell the company. I guess the problem is, is that people don't have that kind of money. We're the most profitable enterprise in the world at the moment. Other companies just can't afford to buy Inoue and keep their own companies afloat” she sighed.
TabTabI suppose I don't have to worry, too much. I'm pretty much set for life as far as finance goes, but it does take a fair bit of time reading through everything my advisors send me, and I really wanted to start a family, you know? I guess I wish I had someone to just take over that job for me, but there's not really many people I can trust to have that kind of job, and then... it's such a large burden to dump onto somebody. It takes time – a lot of time.
A little lightbulb went off inside Katashi head at Nana's last statement and his mother had also taken notice to it. "A family? You are so young though dear maybe you should wait a couple years," Misaki said with a gentle smile. "How long do you two think you'll be engaged for before you fully tie the knot?'
"Personally as soon as possible," Katashi said with a forced smile turning to look at Nana to see what her thoughts were on this.
TabTabNana smiled awkwardly. “My father died when I was fourteen. Assassinated... presumably because he was rich and someone out there wanted him dead...” she said. “I'm scared to suffer the same fate, without leaving a legacy behind. Every day that passes, I'm counting down another day until someone finally decides that I'm a threat to their company. Without a child or even family, the company would be divided among shareholders... That would be the end of Inoue Enterprises. The end of everything my family have worked to the bone on for the past six generations,” she said, listening to Misaki's question.
TabTabShe looked at Katashi as he answered, but his smile was forced and she knew that no one was buying it. She wasn't buying it, and she knew that his family would obviously be able to see through it, too. She didn't know how to respond. She didn't want to marry someone who didn't want to marry her. That had been the problem with Kyou, and now the same was happening to Katashi, too. “Personally... when the time is right,” she said with a sigh and averted her gaze – unable to look at him. She couldn't sit here and pretend to want to marry him when he was lying through his teeth.
