Welcome to Gaia! ::

Laying down calmly, Sakura was asleep as her husband watched over her. Despite her sick exterior, he knew that she was restoring health from within. It was only a matter of time till she was completely better again. Calmly running a finger through her hair, he was soon interrupted be a sound of talking from outside. Not sure who it was, he peeked out the window to see his two adoptive kids, Suke and Ai. Smiling, he walked out from their room, headed downstairs, and headed to the entrance of their home. Opening the door, he outstretched his arms to them. "Ai! Suke! How are you lovelies doing?" He said cheerfully, wrapping them both in a slight hug as he was unaware of their current circumstances. He did notice, however, the uneasy feeling of Suke.

Smiling at Ai's reaction, he smiled, but looking at the sorrow in Suke's eyes made him pause. Hearing what he had to say, he lightly let them go, blinking in slight worry. What has happened? "What is it?" He asked, tilting his head as he closed the door behind him, so to give them privacy as they conversed. He wanted to know what had happened. Suddenly dread fell upon him. The news would probably be grim.

Their Mother was fast asleep. Sakura has slept for a while until she could fell a small figure curl up to her after crawling into bed. Taking in her sent, she smiled as she remembered Ai's scent. She soon wrapped a secure arm around her child before going back into a deep sleep. Meanwhile, Sunji watched Ai leave and frowned. Now he knew this was serious. Looking at Suke, he listened to him say sorry until he dropped the bad new after. His eyes widened. Atsuhiko... Was taken? Complete shock had filled his body as he continued to listen. He watched Suke bow his head the whole time and he felt himself lean against the door behind him. He was speechless. Atsuhiko was so strong. How was he caught? Thinking, he looked at Suke. He had to say something. "Don't feel sorry son... I doubt it was your fault." He said, knowing it wasn't. But it was still so hard to believe. Atsuhiko. The tough and stern man he was, was kidnapped. He was baffled by that fact. "H-How was he kidnapped?" He asked, not sure how such a thing was possible to do, especially to Atsuhiko.

Sunji seemed to calculate it and soon relaxed, thinking. Why would they take them both? Thinking, he sighed, soon placing a reassuring shoulder on Suke's shoulder. "Rise my son. This is more than we could ever think. Taking both Captain's must be what they were planning on doing. I read a book on Time Rouges." He said, looking in Suke's eyes. "Time Rouges are known for sacrificing the blood of people to create powers, or more Rouges or something. I doubt they will kill them straight away. I think the Head Captain's orders may have been for reason. If we panic, things could only get worse. I know it's hard to wait, but they need to plan this out." He said, pained by what he himself was saying, but it was true. Koko knew what she was doing. Waiting two days could be enough to just get there in time and save them both. Time Rouges take their kills slowly. If their lucky, it would be in the next week.

Sunji seemed to think. He had to spill something to Suke. "Suke.. I want to tell you something.." He said, waiting for his attention before continuing. "Atsuhiko... Actually loves you both very much. He isn't used to showing emotions, but it's clear in his eyes. The way he protects you shows it." He said, soon looking back at the door. "I won't give it to you without his permission, but there's a book that he writes in. He explains all his feelings in it. He only let's me read it because I understand. I was like that when I was his age." He said, knowing he was much like Atsuhiko when he was his age. He was scared to express himself, which made him violent, but look at where he was now? Hopefully Atsuhiko would learn to warm up to people more often.

Sunji knew of Suke's uneasiness. It was true, it was hard to believe, but that was his son. It was true. "I know. It is hard to believe for you two, but wait until he returns. I'll show you his book when he deems it necessary." He said, nodding before smiling and clapping his son on the shoulder. He wanted to reassure him not only that Atsuhiko would be fine, but to trust him at least. Atsuhiko was very hard to read, but it was worth it once you do read his thoughts. It was only a matter of time till one of them saw what he saw in Atsuhiko.

Sunji sighed. This was gonna be tough. Thinking, he smiled. "Why don't you come in and rest? I think Ai had fallen asleep." He said, feeling Ai's Reiatsu subtly flow. That meant she was relaxing, or probably sleeping. Suke should probably do the same. He frowned and hugged Suke comfortingly. He knew he probably messed him up with what he said. "You know, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything..." He said, feeling guilty. "I should have given you a bit of time.." He said, knowing this was probably a mistake to tell him. He just wanted a bit of hope, but it didn't seem as if it wasn't the right time, especially when Atsuhiko had been kidnapped. "I'm sorry for stressing you out." He added, knowing not only did he have to worry about Atsuhiko, but he had to worry about his feelings, Ai, and the fact he had to watch over the Squad until they got him back.
