... could she get him there, safely, find her family, and get him back in California within a couple of days? She sat quiet, letting his words wash over her.
"...who will watch over Kaori?"

"... Kaori will not be left behind. I will be bringing her with me, she does not like to be separated from me for a prolonged amount of time, or she will be inconsolable. She will be greatly protected Mitsuki..."

...take Kaori with?
Her lips were pressed in a hard line. She had no doubt that she would be greatly protected while in Japan, since it is her family...but what bothered Mitsuki was a possibility of the boat capsizing over in the water.
"Hnnh. I don't plan on going for a while."
A long, long while.
She would have to hone her Qi, then. Significantly.
"I'll let you know when I plan on leaving."

"... Alright then."
Unlike Mitsuki, who wanted to hone her Qi significantly before even attempting the trip, Kazuya had already honed his Qi after years of using it. Five years worth of time, to be exact, having discovered his Qi when he was sixteen years old. Instead, he would use the time to train extensively, and prepare himself. He counted himself lucky to reach England and return to Long Beach without running into Barker's men, the chances of getting lucky twice in a row were slim to none.
"... Mitsuki. I apologize for my words. I said I had no right to ask about your daughter or your past, yet I commented on the comparison between Kaori and your daughter without even knowing about the situation, which could very well be vastly different. That makes me a hypocrite, and for that, I apologize."

Perhaps the difference between the two of them and their Qi's...is that he gets to master just one, whereas Mitsuki has the opportunity to work with six- all of them which aren't her own. The ability to be fully comfortable with her Qi was just impossible; as a copycat, it would require Mitsuki to physically adapt to change perfectly and near instantaneously- things like that don't just happen in a blink of an eye.
That, and well...her Qi had been dormant for the past year and a half.
"Ryuu--..Kazuya, it's fine. I know you don't have harmful intentions."
And just to reassure him, a small smile would cross her lips.
"As for Japan... I don't plan on leaving for that country for a while. Your aid in Japan would be greatly appreciated, but I can't guarantee your and your daughter's safety during the travels to and fro."
She knew he and Kaori would probably be safe while in Japan because of Kazuya's family. It's just... The waters... Having David's Qi helped- but she wanted to copy a water manipulator's just for safe keeping.

"... Yes, that is true, I never intended to harm or insult you, but the fact still remains, I commented without even having any knowledge on your past and the situation, and that was my own ignorance."
Despite Mitsuki's reassurance, Kazuya still felt it had been hypocritical of him to speak on such matters, but what was done was done, all that could be done was to move on and look to the future.
"... Do not worry, no harm will come upon Kaori while I am alive and breathing. I will protect her with everything I have, no matter what. Just let me know when you plan on leaving, when that day comes."
Kaori shifting slightly in her sleep, she would roll over and curl up closer to Mitsuki, continuing to sleep contently in her lap.
"... I would suggest go talking to Leon. Perhaps he would know of some way to make the travels more in your favor."
IE. Leon might know a water manipulator Mitsuki could copy the Qi from.

Mm. That was a viable option for her to take. She would nod her head in agreement- she hadn't seen him in a long time anyhow (not that they were close; more acquaintances than anything). She shifted carefully, as to not wake Kaori up from her nap, to pass the sleeping child back to Kazuya. She should be taking her leave.
"I'll come visit again."
...April Fools was coming up, right? Hehehe...

Kaori shifting slightly in her sleep as Mitsuki shifted carefully to avoid waking her up, Kazuya would gently take Kaori from her as Mitsuki passed her to him, Kazuya carrying Kaori in his arms as she slept up against him contently.
"... I'll see you later then."
Getting up slowly and carefully, Kazuya would walk Mitsuki to the door and see her off, and would take Kaori upstairs to his room, tucking her in to his futon and letting her finish the rest of her nap. April Fools Day was coming up indeed...

------------------------------------------------------- Chihiro sat in the living room, lounging on the cushions she had piled up for that purpose. Her dainty bare legs were crossed and tucked to the side, and she was wearing her favorite silk robe indicating that she'd just woken up not too long ago, and didn't have plans today. She only wore her robe on her day off, otherwise she was in her assassin gear or a disguise. There really wasn't much else variance. In her hands was a book, and she idly flipped the page, her chocolate eyes grazing back and forth as the story unfolded. She seemed pretty into it, but that didn't mean she didn't hear the door when it opened... |

Coming back home after what started out as a meditation/training, but turned into something completely different, the sound of the door opening and closing would be heard. Bare feet would then be heard walking across the wooden flooring coming closer and closer, followed by Kazuya walking into the kitchen, clad in the black muscle shirt and long shorts he had worn when he left while running one hand wearily through his hair, as he noticed Chihiro lounging comfortably in the living room.
["... Good morning... Or should I say good afternoon?"]

She recognized his footsteps. If she hadn't, she may have been inclined to vault from her seat and take them down. However, the seat she was in was fairly comfy...it would have been a shame if she had to get up.
Even though she knew he couldn't distinguish her subtle nuances, she quirked her eyebrow at him. He hadn't followed his normal routine, so either he had taken a detour, or a detour had found him.
"こんにちは、先生。"
Good afternoon, Sensei. She said, emphasizing the last bit teasingly. She could tell there was a slightly different air to him, something she noticed having known him for five years. She couldn't tell exactly what, but something.

A slight smirk appearing on his face, especially from the emphasis on the last word, he would grab a glass from the cupboard and would pour himself a glass of water from the jug full of water he had collected and boiled using his Qi himself. Taking a long sip, he'd place his glass down on the counter then head over to Chihiro, and would bow teasingly to her.
["Room service, anything I can get for you Sempai? Dinner, hot towel, a massage?"]

He may or may not have been joking, but Chihiro was going to run with it as far as she could. After all, who would turn down the idea of a massage? It was her day off!
"ああ、はい！先輩してください。"
Ā, hai! Senpai shite kudasai. Oh, yes! Please senpai. She purred, putting down her book and lounging even more in her seat, lifting one leg and pointing her toe in the air. Was he trying to distract her from his late entrance? Just teasing? Never a dull moment.

["... Hah."]
Chihiro could keep her leg up in the air for all eternity though, as instead, Kazuya would move behind her, and begin massaging her neck and shoulders. Legs would come later.
["Would you like a hot bath after your massage?"]
Hey, no one said he couldn't run with the joke. And surprisingly (or not), he was a very good masseuse.

Her leg would lower back to the floor, eyelids closing as he began to massage her shoulders. She turned onto her stomach, resting her face on the cushion and her arms loosely circling the cushion and resting against the floor. The silk fell from her shoulders.
"もちろん。私は、全体のパッケージを注文しています。私のタブの上に置いた。"
Of course. I'm ordering the whole package. Put it on my tab. She sighed the last part, melting beneath his hands. Chihiro was royalty in her own mind, and would never turn down the opportunity for pampering, even from her employer's son.
