Chapter 11: Swan, Park

Kai woke up in the women's embrace she was still sleeping soundly. He lightly rubbed his hand on her face.

Meow~

Titan's meow startled him, and he looked at the cat that stretched before rubbing his hand on his palm begging to be petted. He started petting the cat; it had really soft fur.

Ring

Kai got startled again as he watched the women use her hand to reach her phone behind her and bring it to her face.

Sawa answered half-sleepily and put the phone on speaker until she heard her son's voice.

"Mommy! Good morning"

"Good Morning my Spring" she responded back. Her eyes are now fully open as she gave Kai a light smile.

"Are we going to the park today with Uncle Shunji, and grandma."

"Ah! I forgot" Sawa widened her eyes as she sat up. Titan jumped on her back all of a sudden as she got.

"Titan!" she said in shocked surprise

"Hehe" Haru giggled "Mommy, Titan likes to jump."

Sawa picked up her little furball from behind. "Such a crazy Kitty," she said to the cat that was nothing but a picture of innocence.

"So when are we going?"

Sawa paused as she stared at Kai. "Kai do you want to go to the park?"

Kai looked at her 'park' he's never been to a park before. He nodded his head and then the women showed a bright smile.

"Who's Kai?"

"Your Uncle, my spring."

"I have an UNCLE, that's not uncle Shunji!" Haru sounded ecstatic

"Yes, you do." She answered him and then turned to Kai "Do you want to meet your nephew, Kai?"

"Nephew?" he mouthed the words because no voice came out. Sawa understood him anyways.

"Hello, Uncle Kai, I'm Haru like spring and I am four years old!" Haru said loudly grabbing Kai's attention before he looked back at Sawa.

Kai was holding on to Sawa's hand tightly. Everything scared him, and he jumped at the slightest noise. But he felt safer than he ever did before holding this women's hands. He remembered she told him that they were going to have 'fun' with his nephew and that if it becomes too much for him, we can go back.

But he really wanted to have this 'fun' too. His nephew kept talking about how fun this park was, so he wanted to know.

Ishihara Oharu sat at the park her face although old was incredibly beautiful in fact glowing as she was playing ball with little Haru and her son. When she saw Sawa along with a young boy, she had never seen before.

"Sawa, who is this?"

"Kai" Sawa said

"Who…who did you say?" Oharu stuttered as she looked at the young man with similar features to Sawa hiding behind her in fear.

"Mommy" Haru ran to Sawa in joy before he stopped at the older boy hanging on to his mother tightly.

"Hey, that's my Mommy" he said.

"Haru this is your Uncle Kai" Sawa kneeled down to Haru level and patted his head. "Kai this is your nephew Haru" she brought his hand to Haru. Kai looked at her nervously. "Haru, go easy on your uncle; he's very shy and hasn't gone outside for a very long time." She smiled at Haru who smiled back at her.

"Come on Uncle Kai lets go play" Sawa stood up as she watched her son lead her little brother to the bounce house nearby.

"When did you find me?" Shunji asked frowning

"I can't believe it, and he has been alive all these years. What on earth happened to him." His mother interjected.

"He has been held captive all this time."

"By whom?" Shunji and Oharu both said, all Sawa did was smile at them with a sad expression.

"Damn so precious would go that far" Shunji said

"What, what is going on?" his mother questioned not understanding.

"Cousin's wife."

"What?!" Oharu grew pale "She…. She would go that far" the poor women trembled

"how did you find him?"

"Do you think I did nothing all these years? I looked and suspected until

I eventually found him"

"Well, I'll be."

"Shunji, I was originally going to be passive about this, But, I don't think

I can."

"Are you going for revenge, then?"

"…"

Shunji watched as Sawa stared at something in the distance. His breath halted as her recognized the person not too far.
