“Oh you know - until the baby is born, or I give it up for adoption….or I abort it,” Saki mumbles quickly.
The implication of what she’s saying - what the adults are saying, makes Sho clench his fists and he can feel a headache actually forming behind his eyes.
“I want to have the baby,” Saki says.
“Then we’re going to have the baby,” Sho says, and musters up a smile. “We’re going to do this right and oyaji will help us, I’m sure of it.”
“You think so?” Saki looks up at him hopefully. “Because my parents are furious, and my mother won’t stop crying about where she went wrong.”
Sho shakes his head fiercely. “There’s nothing wrong with you. There’s nothing wrong with us,” he adds for emphasis. “Shinzo-san adopted me and my brothers; he knows how…circumstances can change.”
He squeezes her hand, and she smiles tremulously. “This was not what I had in mind for your birthday present.”
Until Saki mentioned it, Sho had not remembered. He was eighteen - and he looked down at his watch, had been eighteen for exactly two hours. Eighteen years ago, the path of his destiny had changed when Shimura-san rescued him, and then Shinzo-san had changed it further. Now it was time for him to be responsible for his own destiny.
“In America, I’d already be an adult,” Sho says. “So I think we should skip class today and go straight to my house, so we can talk to Oyaji.”
“But we’re in Japan,” Saki protests half-heartedly, and then gasps in surprise when Sho lifts her up in a sudden bear hug. “Sho!”
“Come on, Saki - don’t you trust me,” he wheedles. “We’re going to be a family, after all.”
When they arrive at the castle, Inoue-san is bringing in packing boxes, and Masaru is watching her from behind a pillar, a safe distance away. Ever since he entered middle school, Masaru’s been even odder, and Sho makes a mental note to talk to him later. He was his little brother, he needed all the encouragement he could get.
“What’s with the boxes - is someone moving in?” Sho asks him. Masaru shakes his head, and when he spots Saki, makes a startled noise and withdraws further behind the pillar. Sho hauls him back. “It’s okay, she’s my girlfriend.”
“Pleased to meet you,” Saki offers her hand, and Masaru blurts out, “Fuu-san’s moved out completely, Inoue-san is just packing up the rest of his stuff, I’ve got to go, bye---!”
He bows his head hastily and runs off.
Saki looks after his retreating figure in amazement. “Was it something I said?”
"No - Masaru's just....special," Sho says. "I'll talk to him later."
