Mimi growled low in her throat, she attempted to put more of the lasagna on her fork, but it slipped off and fell back to the plate. She looked up to Jyou who was smiling largely at her across the table. His eyes changes into a pleading look, as if he was asking her to start the conversation up...

Her eyes glared at him saying to him that this isn't my fault. Her eyes started to well up in tears. Jyou's eyes cut away, he cleared his voice as he looked back up to his parents.

"Mom, dad, we have a sorta of announcement"

His mother dropped her fork and looked up at him, his father took off his glasses and cleaned them with his napkin. They were expecting Jyou's semester grades, the both of them knowing in the back of their minds that he was doing quite well, and he was never in trouble so that was not one of their concerns. What concerned them is why he was always with that Mimi girl, talking secretly in quiet rooms, or why he returned late when she was over from America. They were not expecting the bombshell that was about to be dropped on them.

"Well go ahead dear, don't keep us in suspense" said Jyou's mother

Jyou cleared his throat again, he was becoming very nervous, he held his napkin in his hands and began to wring in around in his hands, twisting it and turning it.

"Mom, Dad, Mimi and I are getting married"

His mother jumped up

"Say again?"

Jyou looked directly at his mother and said very clearly

"Mimi and I are getting married"

"I knew it" his mother shrieked "Didn't I?" she pointed to her husband "I knew once she started to hang around him this would happened"

"Dear calm down" Jyou's father said quietly

"How do you expect to live Jyou? With you in med-school, do you expect to live here with us?"

"No, mom, umm I guess we haven't thought that far"

"YOUR DAMN RIGHT YOU DIDN'T THINK OF THAT" his mother roared

Mimi jumped back a little, tears streaming down her face, her parents had taken this all much better than she expected, now Jyou's mother was blowing this all out of proportion. Jyou's father stood and calmly pushed his wife back in her chair

"That is enough, they are both adults and they can make decisions for themselves"

"They are too young for that kind of responsibility, and you know it" his mother said quietly, Jyou could sense the anger in her voice, and they were not even halfway through the entire story

"I'm pregnant" Mimi said quietly

The two adults and Jyou swung their heads to look at her, Mimi had just blurted it out as if knowing that it was already too far and that she might as well get it over with.

Jyou's mother's face flushed a deep red

"You little slut"

Mimi gasped, Jyou jumped to his feet

"That's enough," he shouted

Mimi and Jyou's mother both looked shocked at him; Jyou's long hair framed his face in bluish black in the light. His father stood

"He is right, would you have rather them not tell us, and let us find this out on our own?"

His mother wouldn't speak; she just sat there and stared at her plate

"I think it takes great maturity for them to tell us" his father continued "And we should be happy for them, we are going to be both in-laws and grandparents"

"I will have nothing to do with this," his mother said as she stood and left the room.

Mimi took one look at her leaving; she also stood and rushed out the front door. Jyou looked down at his feet, his father crossed around the table and laved a hand on his son's shoulder.

"You better go after her," he said quietly

"What about mom?"

"Don't you worry about her, I will talk to her"

"Why are you taking this so well dad?"

His father smiled

"We were both young once Jyou, and we remember how it felt to be young. Your mother, well, she will come around in time. Now go after you girl, and make sure she knows that it will be alright"

"I might stay with her tonight then Dad"

"That's fine"

His father left the room, leaving Jyou alone. Jyou walked to his bedroom and collected a few items, and he went into the bathroom and got his toothbrush, he picked up Mimi's pink jacket, and his own and walked out the door.

Mimi was standing at the balcony, staring off across the endless lights of Tokyo, she loved this site, especially at this time of the year, before the new year came, when the wind was cold enough to cut through you like a hot knife through butter. She was collecting her thoughts slowly. The moments of that dinner had passed through her quickly; she didn't want her future mother in law to hate her before she married her son. She was still thinking when she felt an arm wrap around her shoulders. She smiled when she looked up to see Jyou standing there with a bag slung around his shoulder.

"You're going to freeze," he whispered

She turned and slid her hands through his jacket, wrapping them around his back, and laid her head down on his chest. She closed her eyes and began to sob softly

"Come on Mimi, don't cry"

"She hates me," she sobbed

"No she doesn't"

"Yes sh...she called me a slut"

"She didn't mean it, she was just upset. I think we shouldn't have hit them with both of those things at the same time"

She nodded, enjoying the warmth of his body, she was finally calming down by listening to his rhythmic breathing. She looked up at him and raided herself on her toes and kissed Jyou softly.

"I love you Jyou Kido"

"I love you too Mimi. Now come on lets go," he said as he pulled her jacket around her

They walked off towards the stairs and started their way down. They were both unaware that they were being watched by one of Ken's minions. Its red eyes glowed as it took down all it had seen. It disappeared in a flash of brimstone.

Ken was waiting for it as it reappeared

'What did you see?"

The minion growled out the entire story

"I see" Ken said, his eyes were now turning a slight red, he walked over and picked up his dark sword. The minion had just told him about how it affected Jyou's mother. It had let loose her anger towards Mimi, allowing her to become distance between her.

"When the children come, they shall be my master's. But now its time for a little revenge"

He spun his sword into a circle that formed a window looking out at Miyako and Daisuke out on a date

"Minions attack..." Ken's evil smile filled the room with a sort of dark light as the minions disappeared

Revenge is a dish best served cold
