As Akio laid there on the bed next to Satoko, he noticed how she began to curl up against him, ending up hugging him as he slowly wrapped his own arms around her, simply holding her closely to himself. He just gave a soft smile kissing her head once more closing his eyes to hopefully get some sleep. Though, suddenly when he closed his eyes, he heard Steven yawn as he turned his head over to the side a bit as he smiled at her. "Well..someone sounds tired...c'mon get on the bed...lets sleep together.." he said scooting into the bed a bit turning himself so that if Steven got onto the bed, Satoko would be in the middle.

When Steven had finally decided to lay down onto the bed as well, Akio smiled softly as he watched her lay there slowly falling asleep within only five minutes. Slowly, he closed his own eyes wrapping one of his arms around Steven so that he basically held onto Satoko at the sametime as he had fallen into his own deep sleep within about the same amount of time Steven did; five minutes.

After a few hours had passed by, the sun began to rise once more as it shined through one of the windows going right into his face as he groaned turning side to side trying to get the sunlight out of his face. Though finally noticing how the sun wasnt going to go away, Akio began to wake up as he sat up yawning looking over to the side seeing how Steven and Satoko were still deep asleep. Just seeing how they were sleeping so peacefully like that, he smiled leaning over kissing Steven and Satoko onto their foreheads, than quietly making his way to get off the bed.

After finally getting out of bed, Akio yawned a little once more to himself tip toeing out of the room and heading downstairs to the kitchen when he smelt the food being cooked. Smiling softly, he followed the smell of food heading into the kitchen seeing how Seri was making food. "Hello, there." he said giving a little smile waving to his new grandmother. It wasn't really like he could've just taken a shower or brushed his teeth due to the fact was that when the explosion erupted the house of theirs blew up to the ground as well, so Steven's, Akio's and Satoko's clothing must be turned to ash by now.

At first, hearing Seri's question, Akio had only just remembered that their original house was burnt down as his eyes widened up smiling with a nod. "Yeah, I..I guess we dont have any clothes." he said scratching the back of his head laughing nervously at the thought that they would have to wear the samething over and over again everyday if Seri didnt think about measuring them to make them some new clothes. When she placed the three plates onto the table, he simply nodded to her from hearing that she was going to go wake Steven; walking over to the table, sitting down and waiting for Steven and Satoko to come downstairs so that they could eat breakfeast along with him.

While Seri was waking up Steven upstairs, Akio was downstairs in the kitchen the whole time as he was already eating breakfeast. He hadn't realized when Steven really came downstairs and into the kitchen with him until she ended up kissing his cheek. Though, when she did that he jumped for a moment as his eyes widened up causing him to look back at her smiling nervously. "Oh...Steven...you scared the living daylights out of me.." he said holding one hand at his chest panting but than finally nodding to her question. "I slept....okay...I'll have to admit..I've slept much better than that, but it was okay." he said smiling still nervously.

Akio just shook his head a little at Steven's apology as he finished his breakfeast going over to the sink with his plate cleaning it without saying really much now. He really did feel better after yesterday but still, strange thoughts were still going through his head making everything seem still so depressing to him. "I hope we can sleep better...I could barely even keep my eyes closed." he said with a quiet whisper in his voice while he cleaned the dishes.

(Same goes for this one. >.<;; :sweat: )

When Steven had finally finished her food as well, Akio had just finished cleaning his dishes as he placed his into the dishwasher to dry off first and didnt bother saying anything to Steven while she was cleaning hers and Satoko's. Instead, all he did was look over at her with a sadful frown on his face, giving her a soft kiss onto the cheek than walking over toward their daughter, kissing her forehead and finally heading out of the house, sitting on the porch, staring at the ground. Why....why cant I change...why am...I...still this way? he thought clentching his fists a bit tightly once more.

(I'm sorry....I...I know I'm getting...annoying...:cry:....th..thats why its better off...this roleplay would end....so you dont have to go..through that.)

When Steven had come out asking him what was wrong, Akio stayed standing right at the porch as he contiued staring at the ground unable to really say anything due to him still feeling bad deep down. Even her kissing his cheek didnt really do much as he only turned his attention away from the ground to look at her. He stayed quiet as he listened to her explain that she had a REAL father that lived nearby and that they could go live there after Sire had made them some new clothes. Even after she had finished talking he didnt say anything as he turned his head back to look at the ground. "Steven...do you...believe in fate..?" he asked with his voice just above a whisper for her to hear him.

(...well...even with all your ideas...I know that their great ideas...but I'm starting to think....its better off...these end since....I keep telling you the samething...over and over...and you just admitted yourself...that its getting annoying..:cry:..)

Hearing that Steven said that she believed in fate, Akio slowly looked up toward the sky for a moment, still frowning deeply. "Than tell me....Steven...if you believe in fate...does it mean...it was fate...that we were supposed to be together...? Was it fate....that I had to destroy our home.....?.....was it fate...that Kouja had to do that to you..?" he asked still with his voice right above a whisper, everything that was happening in their life was scarring him both emotionally and physically. All of this was starting to get way too much for him to handle so maybe...what would happen if the two of them would never had met?...maybe things would've been better?

(I know....everything I'm saying is annoying that its dead...but thats mostly due to how I always am....I dont want to be....but its...just in my nature that i cant....stop being negative..:cry: )

Turning around with his eyes widened up in shock. Akio stood at the porch just watching how Steven walked back into the house. He hadn't meant to say it as if he wanted for them to had never met, it was just that he was just wondering how things would've been if that had happened. Reaching out to her right where he was, Akio stopped himself and walked off the porch looking up at the sky for a moment. "I'm sorry...Steven..." he said walking through the woods looking back at the house when he was halfway out of the woods already. Maybe Steven's life could've been better without him dragging her down like this..but yet, if he left than she would have no one else to take care of the new child she was going to give birth to. So many things were wrong in life right now, leaving her had its good and bad parts. So angered at himself, Akio couldn't stand but punch the tree next to him causing himself to use up some demonic energy making the tree break right in half collasping to the forest floor with a loud crash.

As Akio stood there at the broken down tree, his breathing was heavy as his anger rose even more at himself. He didnt even know what to do anymore as the knuckles he used to breakdown the tree in one punch were beginning to bleed; Even though he had used demonic energy to do that, his knuckles were still made from human skin. All of a sudden when he felt someone touch his shoulder he turned around quickly glaring at Seri for a moment only because he was still angry, but when he realized who it was, his facial expression suddenly showed shock as he frowned deeply listening to what she had to tell him. After finally finishing, he still frowned deeply as he looked down at the floor seeing and feeling how his entire body from head to toe was trembling from the thought of leaving the one and only person he could love."I...I dont want to leave her....b...but I...I've noticed...this whole time I've been with Steven...I've done nothing but...gotten her into pain...and suffering..I...I cant even protect her...what kind of husband...c..can I be..If I cant even protect...the people i love..?"

When Seri finished explaining about how Akio should stay with Steven, he frowned deeply still and finally ended up nodding. It was still so hard to accept in his mind but his heart was telling him not to even leave her because he loved her. "O...okay...I..I'll d..do whatever I can.." he said hoping that he could possbility protect her and their children from anymore danger ever again.
