Nino stretched out over the reclining chair and sighed happily as the wind whipped around his face and the sun beamed down making him feel alive and free. Satoru was sat on the floor beside him playing around with the wooden horsed while Ohno was painting, something that the former courtesan hadn’t seen before but had longed to, he watched eagerly as the brush swept over the page in careful steady movements. It was softer and calmer than when he fought but even more beautiful because now his face was relaxed into a soft smile that tugged at his scar but lit up his face. Hotaru and Jun were sitting against a hydrangea bush talking in low whispers and every now and then laughing in a way that suggested they were plotting something. Nino rolled his eyes but ignored them his lips twitching a little glad that they seemed to be just as relaxed everyone else.
They had been out here for an hour before there were the soft footsteps of two women. Nino turned at the sound smiling when he saw Fuwa and Sayuri walking towards them their arms around each other’s waists. Nino had been both happy and relieved when woman had come to him and told him about her lover. Happy because he thought that the woman that had given up so much of her life deserved happiness and relieved because he had almost convinced himself that she was in love with their lord. She had laughed for a full ten minutes when he had told her that and then hugged him tightly crying and apologising for the actions of her brother.
Nino pulled out of the tight grip and looked at the woman that he thought of as friend and sister. He was almost unable to hold in his surprise as the normally strong and collected woman sobbed openly and loudly her hold body trembling. One hand resting on her shoulders while the other took out a handkerchief quickly wiping away the tears as he shook his head
“Why are you apologising...Without you and your actions I would be dead now...I owe you everything...You are not responsible for the actions of your brother...He...I am sorry for your loss, Yasu, I know the pain of losing a younger brother and I am sure that you will miss and mourn him...” He whispered amazed that he had the courage to say those words. To him Saito was a mad man and rapist but to Fuwa he had been her brother and he could still remember the pain he had had for many years when he had believed that Jun was dead. “...I may never be able to forgive him for what he did to me...But...I would never blame you for those actions...”
“You are too kind my lord, I feared that you may have thought that I...I would be weighed by the same merits as he...” Fuwa whispered a relieved watery smile on her face and Nino shook his head quickly regretting it when he felt the sharp stabs of pain rippling through his neck
“No, I would never do that...I hope that we have become friends in my time here...Without you I would never have even given our lord a chance and now I have found my love, my brothers and a family...All because of you that is what I weigh you by...” Nino promised holding her good hand tightly well staring into both the clear and the damaged eye. “...Thank-you for everything that you have done for me, I know they are only words but I hope you understand clearly how much that you mean to me and our lord...”
“I believe that I do, my second lord...” Fuwa smiled and Nino found himself pulled into another hug and he wrapped himself around her crying onto the shoulder surprised when he felt the swell of her stomach. With a soft hiss he pulled back again and Fuwa rested her damaged hand on her stomach and confirmed his suspicion with a small nod “I am growing with child...It is the man that I laid with in blood only...My lover has asked that she raise it with me as second mother...”
“I am happy for you; I hope that you and she have a happy and healthy baby that will bring you as much joy as my children have brought me...” Nino grinned happily at his friend and saviour “May...May I touch your stomach?”
“It has not yet started to kick...I feel it moving but you may, my lord...” She laughed and, with a bemused expression his face he placed his hand carefully over the mound and could feel the hardness of the stomach resting against him. “Thank-you...For making my lord happy, thank-you...”
“...Thank-you for trusting me with his heart as you did...” Nino whispered back pulling his hand away and looking into the bright face. Fuwa let out a loud bell like laugh and then nodded sweeping gracefully to her feet
“I suppose that I should leave you and allow our lord to return, I have no doubt that he will be pacing just beyond the door...” She said and Nino nodded smiling again before a thought came into his mind
“...Later...I will speak to our lord about a monument...Perhaps not for the man that took me into the cave but for the one that he...He should have been if he had been allowed to live without your father’s spite...” He whispered and Fuwa’s faced paled and tears came back into her eyes as she gave a weak smile
“Thank-you my lord...I would be touched if our lord would allow that...Nothing too big...But...Something...Thank-you...” She nodded dabbing her eyes with the cuff of her kimono and then nodded politely before sweeping out of the door.
“Mama-Nino...Mama-Nino...” A soft voice called and Nino opened his eyes not realising that he had fallen to sleep while lost in his memory. He smiled sleepily at his son and then at the pushed himself up so he was sitting more comfortably with Fuwa and Sayuri at his side.
“I am sorry...” He murmured smiling at the concerned expression on his lord’s face and Ohno came over to him quickly holding his hand and stroking his fingers with his thumb. “Honestly my lord I am fine...I was just thinking...And then I must have fallen to sleep...”
“You have been asleep for close to an hour...” Ohno murmured and Nino had to admit that that surprised him. He blinked a few times and then looked around at the other concerned faces and he gave a laugh
“I was feeling very comfortable and relaxed...I suppose that I am more tired than I thought...” He said wondering why they were making such a fuss. He had been through a lot recently it wasn’t surprising that he would still have moments where his body would need rest. “I am sorry if I worried you...Any of you but I am fine...”
“Are you sure you do not wish to go inside?” Ohno asked leaning over him and Nino shook his head quickly mildly horrified at the thought of being inside again. He stroked the cheek thumb rubbing against the scar.
“No...I like being outside...If you are concerned then maybe...We could send for a healer...” The words weren’t out of his mouth for more than a minute before Satoru was off and running out of the garden to a guard who marched off into the village. The boy came back and then sat on the recliner hugged up to his body as much as he could his arms resting around his chest. Nino sent his eyes over to Fuwa for help but saw that she was having a similar conversation with Sayuri and before long they were getting up.
“My love has decided that I have had enough exercise for today and I am being sent back to bed...” She said softly with a teasing note to her voice while Sayuri blushed and stammered something inaudible at her side her arm going around her back “I will see you soon, my lords...”
“Yes...” Nino agreed while Ohno just nodded still staring down at Nino like he was about to blow away. Nino smiled, his love was growing more comfortable within his own skin but he was still awkward around people that he did not know well. The women left and Nino gave a sigh kissing his lover’s cheek while stroking Satoru’s arm and looking at Jun and Hotaru. “I am not going to vanish like mist...I was just tired...” He mumbled his cheeks flushing a little bit. The family group didn’t stop staring at him with concerned expressions until Sakurai arrived with Aiba and he confirmed that it was normal. “There see I told you...Masaki I need your help we wish to plan a celebration...Here at the castle in two weeks...Can you help?”
“Of course...” Aiba laughed sitting on the other side to Satoru “But two weeks is not a lot of time...”

A/N: I really have very little confidence in this part but it sets up something for later...So it was a bridging chapter J
