Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Please Forgive Me ❯ The Mistake ( Chapter 1 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Disclaimer: Like my other fics, I do NOT own DBZ or the songs.
Authors Note: Like I promised, I finally posted this fic. It's not all my fault since fanfiction decided to fix things that they thought were problems and I haven't checked ff.net for a while, but at least it's up. Also I hurt both my wrists while I was working out, so I couldn't type or do anything for a while. I hope you guys like it though. When I wrote it, I actually had tears in my eyes cause it reminded me of one of my past romances. (Lost in her thoughts from her past.) Where was I? Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. Well, I hope some people can relate to it. I've never been married cause I still have school to complete and I'm still pretty young to even think of marriage now, but if you are, I hope you didn't go through too much pain. This is another Krillin/18 fic, but instead of English names, I'm using the Japanese names. I thought that I should at least use their Japanese names for once. I will try to use as much of the Japanese names that I remember, so if I missed on, I'm sorry. The flashbacks will not be on one persons POV. I made it so you know what the other is going through. I hope everyone likes it. And Kuririn friend, Jeanu, is a guy, not a girl. And for the people that don't know Japanese names, Jeanu is not Juunanagou. They are totally different people. Just to clear it ahead of time. And also, I didn't want to seem like Kuririn or Juuhachigou were bad people. You know, it's marriage and it isn't perfect. I hope it doesn't sound like it cause I did my very best so you can see the other person's pain. In the fic, I'll be using a song and a part of a song. Also, the characters in this fic might be slightly OOC. Hope you like it. Read and review!

Chapter 1
The Mistake

It was the first night Kuririn tried to sleep without his wife, Juuhachigou. He tossed and he turned on his bed in a hotel room of Olympic Resort Hotel, as he thought the things that happened the night before.

**FLASHBACK**

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me Juu-chan?" Kuririn asked her while grabbing his coat.
"I told you that I'd be fine. Marron needs to be with me now. She spends too much time with you. She's six now and she needs to spend time with me." Juuhachigou teased.
Kuririn had a shy smile. "Well, I can't help it. I love the both of you too much that I can't have enough of you two." He said rubbing his head. (Yes, Kuririn does have hair here. I like him with hair. ^-^)
Juuhachigou couldn't help but smile. She loved it when he was still shy around her. "I love you too. Now go. You don't want to be late, now do you?" Juuhachigou said while picking up Marron's toys on the floor.
"No, but before I leave..." He levitated up to her and kissed her on the lips. She didn't mind since no one was around, so she kissed him back passionately. He pulled back smiling.
Juuhachigou grabbed his shirt and pulled him to her so she could whisper into his ear. "When you get back, I'll be waiting." She pulled back with an evil smirk then turned around.
He just looked at her in disbelief. He thought she would not be in the mood at night. It changed from night to the middle of the day since they got married. Only when no one was around because Roshi always took everyone into town for a day with or without the Z Gang.
Then he gave one of his evil smirks. "Count on it. I never turn down an offer." Kuririn wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
Juuhachigou smiled and put her hands on his. "You better not." She turned around in his arms and put her arms around his neck. "If I think you're running late, I'll be looking for you." She said poking the area where his nose should've been.
Kuririn gave her a small peck on the nose. "I'm never late if it's an offer like this."
"When do you ever?" Juuhachigou teased as she got out of his grasp and put a few things in the closet. Kuririn chuckled.
Juuhachigou walked up to him and kissed him. "Now go before I kick you out literally."
"Yes ma'am." With that Kuririn left to the club to meet his good friend, Jeanu.

....at the club

"Hey, Kuririn!" Jeanu yelled from the bar drinking his beer.
"Hey, Jeanu!" Kuririn greeted.
"So where's that pretty wife of yours?" Jeanu nudged.
He smiled and blushed. "She's at home with Marron. She wanted to spend more time with her."
"I see." Jeanu finished his drink and ordered another. "She should've come. I don't even trust you without her." He laughed.
"What does that mean?!" Kuririn challenged.
"I'm just joking Kuririn. No need to loose your temper, that's your wife's job." Jeanu laughed at his remark then drank half his glass.
"At least I have a wife that loves me." Kuririn joked.
Jeanu stopped drinking his beer. "Hey, I'll get a wife. I just haven't found my lady, yet." He finished his glass.
Kuririn just stared at him. "Maybe if you stop getting drunk and having sex with every woman you meet at a club or bar, maybe you'll find the right woman for you."
"Right. Like that's ever going to happen." Jeanu loved getting the attention of every woman he meets.
Kuririn sighed and got the bar tender's attention. "Give me a Miller's Lite, please."
"Yes sir." The bar tender said.
"Give me one too." Jeanu said.
"Yes sir. Coming right up." The bar tender left to get their drinks.
"You drink too much, Jeanu. Don't you ever think about your health?" Kuririn asked.
"Come on, Kuririn! This is my life and I'm living it. You need to learn to live yours!" Jeanu said. He had already drank about 2 glasses of beer and on his third.
"I have a life. I'm happily married and I have a daughter. I think about those things before I do anything else." Kuririn said.
The bar tender brought their drinks. "Here you go, gentlemen. Enjoy."
Jeanu and Krillin took their drinks. "Thanks." They said in unison.
Jeanu looked at Kuririn. "Kuririn, just because your married and have a daughter doesn't mean you can't have any fun like me!"
Kuririn looked back at Jeanu. "Your impossible sometimes, Jeanu."
Jeanu smiled and then looked around the club to see who was there. He caught a glimpse of a woman looking their way. More like Kuririn's way. She had red hair, stood about 5'5", and had a great figure. She was wearing a short pink strapless dress that showed all of her curves, especially her legs. Her dress was also low-cut and everyone had a great view of her big breasts. She had her hair down that went slightly passed her shoulders. His smile grew.
Now that's a woman I would like to meet. To bad she's looking at Kuririn. Jeanu thought.
"See what I mean, Kuririn. You don't come with your wife, you are more likely to get hit on." Jeanu said nudging Kuririn.
"What?" Kuririn looked at the woman. "Oh." He blushed. "Forget her. She's drunk." He turned around.
"Right?" Jeanu said lifting an eyebrow. "Let's drink something more stronger."
Kuririn looked at Jeanu. "Like what?"
"Hey! Bar tender! Give us a bottle of tequila! And hurry!" Jeanu yelled. The bar tender gave them a bottle and a couple of shot glasses that were facing down.
"Um, I don't think so." Kuririn said.
"Come on. Let's see who can drink more of these." Jeanu turned the shot glasses upward. "Who ever does, that person choose the next place to meet. And no buts about it. Do you take the challenge?" Jeanu said lifting an eyebrow.
"I told you that I'm not a heavy drinker, Jeanu. Don't you even remember what I told you about my father?" Kuririn glared.
"Yeah, I remember, but just this once. I've never pressured you before. I promise, if you do this, I won't ask you to drink more than you usually do." Jeanu said.
"I don't know." Kuririn said insecurely looking at one of the shot glasses.
"Come on. Just this once and I promise I won't do it again." Jeanu plead.
"Ok. Just this once." Kuririn gave in.
"Great." Jeanu smiled. He poured Krillin his glass. "Here."
"Ok." He took the shot glass into his hand.
"Let us begin." Jeanu smiled and dranked it in one gulp. "There. Your turn." Jeanu smiled.
"Cheers." Kuririn said as he lifted his glass and also drank it in one gulp.

....after their drinking binge

"Well, Geenu. It lookz like I'm winnin thiz zhallege." Kuririn slurred then he finished his fourth glass of beer.
"It wookz wike it." Jeanu slurred. He looked at his empty glass that had Bacardi and coke. "That wazz zo good." Then Jeanu looked around and saw the same woman still staring at them.
"Wha ya wookin at, man?" Kuririn asked Jeanu.
Jeanu pointed to the direction of the mystery woman. "Tha hot babe ova there. Zhe's been eyeing ya zince ya got here, man."
Kuririn looked at her direction. "Zo zhe haz, huh." Kuririn smiled.
"Yeah, man. Ya gonna go talk to her?" Jeanu asked.
"I doa fhinks so." Kuririn said.
"Why noa?" Jeanu asked then he saw that the woman was walking their direction. "Thoo wate, man. Zhe's comin. I'll go and weave ya awone wifh her." Jeanu smiled and left.
"Doa weave me here." Kuririn plead, but he was already gone. "Damn."
"Hiya, zexy." The woman slurred.
He turned around and saw her standing there and he blushed. "Hi." Was all Kuririn said with a little shock in his voice.

....1am

Juuhachigou had left Marron in the care of Master Roshi. She didn't like the idea of a pervert to look out for her little girl and she also knew that Marron could take care of herself, but she still was pretty young, and she had no other choice. She needed to find Kuririn. She was getting worried cause it was right after midnight and Kuririn was never late before. She left the island and went to the club that Kuririn said he was going.
When she got there, she asked everyone if they had seen him. Most of them were too drunk to answer her. Some didn't even know. She finally found him, but she didn't see Jeanu anywhere.
Who she did see was Kuririn talking to a redheaded girl. Normally she wouldn't get all mad if he was talking to other women, but she was angry cause he wasn't acting his shy self and he was late. Then she saw the shot glasses and bottles that were near him. That's when she knew that he was drunk and lost track of time. She couldn't see the woman's features so she didn't know who she was or if she was drunk. She just had a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach.
Kuririn's not a heavy drinker. He never told me that he was depressed or anything. At least I haven't notice that he was. Why would he start now? Juuhachigou thought to herself.
The whole idea slipped out of Juuhachigou mind when she saw something that she never thought in her life she'll see. The woman kissed him, and she suspected Kuririn to push her off, but he didn't. Instead he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back. Her heart dropped, and for the first time in her life she knew how felt like to be betrayed. Her feelings went back and forth from anger and hate to betrayed and hurt. She couldn't stand it and she didn't walk up, she stormed up but stopped when she heard him moan in approval than saying something to the woman. Juuhachigou walked up a little closer to hear what the hell he was saying, but when she did, she got a better look at the woman and she was shocked.
"Wow Kuririn. Ya're quite a great kissa. You've neva kizzed me whike that before." Maron slurred.
MARON! What the hell is she doing here with my HUSBAND! Didn't she learn the last time me met! And why didn't Kuririn stop her! Juuhachigou thought. Maron had dyed her hair from aqua-green to red. It made her look like a total different person. The last time Juuhachigou saw Maron, she almost killed her for trying to steal Kuririn away and for calling her an old lady. Kuririn had to hold Juuhachigou down to stop her. Now she was here with her husband.
Kuririn hiccupped. "Wa're na bad as well." Kuririn smiled and blushed while putting his hand behind his head.
Juuhachigou felt tears coming in her eyes. She felt like someone had reached in her chest and pulled out her heart and stomped on it repeatedly.
"Why?" Juuhachigou whispered. She choked back the tears. She was too hurt to confront him now, like she would anyone else. She turned around and stormed out of the club. When she was outside, she flew as fast as she could home. She wanted to get away from it. She loved Kuririn and would do anything for him. She thought that he would do the same for her. She loved their beautiful 6 year-old daughter that they created with their love, and she thought he did too. She just thought about all the wonderful things they did together while crying all the way home.
She went inside and started to walk to the room she shared with Kuririn. Then she heard someone in the living room. She turned her attention to the person on the couch.
"Hi Juuhachigou! Did you find Kuririn?" Master Roshi asked.
She wiped the tears in her eyes. "Yes. Yes I did. But I don't want to talk about it." With that she went upstairs to bed.
Master Roshi was now confused. Weird, she normally gives the finger if she was mad. "I wondered what happened that made her so upset with Kuririn?" Roshi wondered. "I just hope that they could work, whatever the problem is, out." Then Roshi sat back and started to 'read' his magazine.

....2 hours later

Master Roshi woke up, with the magazine on his face, cause he heard someone trying to get the door opened. He got up and opened the door. He saw Kuririn at the door.
"It's mighty late, don't you agree Kuririn? You should've been home hours ago." Roshi told Kuririn.
Kuririn ignored him and walked right past him.
He's not himself. Could he be drunk? Roshi thought. Nah..I don't think so. He vowed that he wouldn't go down that path, like his father.
He watched as Kuririn stumbled upstairs to the room that he shared with his wife. Kuririn didn't know what time it was. All he knew was that he was home and he was tired.
Juuhachigou was waiting for him since she got home, and she was still crying. Kuririn entered their room and saw Juuhachigou sitting on their bed crying with her head in her hands. He didn't think much of it, cause he was drunk. (Not the Kuririn we all know, huh?)
"Hiya babe! I'm home." Kuririn said drunkenly while putting his hands in the air.
"Put your fucken hands down and get into bed. Your drunk and acting like a fool." Juuhachigou said while wiping the tears from her eyes.
Kuririn obeyed. "Whateva ya say hon." He hiccupped and just walked over to their bed and flopped onto it and fell asleep.
This made Juuhachigou cry more. Every time she wasn't feeling all right, he always comforted and cared for her. He just fell asleep, not even bothering to ask what was wrong. She grabbed a tissue and tried to wipe her eyes dry, but it was hopeless and she had to cry herself to sleep.

....Later that morning

Kuririn opened his eyes and shut them right away. He rubbed his eyes and his head in agony trying to open his eyes, but failed to.
I guess the effects from last nights drinking at the club followed me in my sleep. Kuririn tried to open his eyes again and this time succeeded to keep them open, but his head throbbed and he rubbed his head in agony. Man, that's this is what they call the world's worst bitch of hangovers. Damn. Kuririn cursed to himself.
Kuririn laid there thinking about his dream. He just had the strangest dream, but he didn't even care about it. Why did I dream about her all of a sudden? Kuririn thought to himself. Then he shrugged and pushed the feeling aside. He laid there until his headache was partially gone. He turned his head over and looked where he knew Juuhachigou would be laying, but she wasn't there.
Where has she gone? Kuririn was a bit surprised cause she was the one that always slept in, but not today. He checked what time it was and it was 11:30am.
I really slept in. Kuririn normally woke up around 8 or 9am. I wonder what time Juu-chan woke up? Kuririn wondered. He also wondered if something was wrong cause that was the only reason Juuhachigou would wake up early.
Kuririn climbed out of bed and realized that he didn't change into his pj's.
I must have been too tired to change into my pj's when I got back. "I'll change anyways. I smell like I brought home the club." He took off his dirty clothes to change into clean clothes. Then he saw something on his dirty shirt. "What's this?" There was a lipstick stain on his shirt. "How did that get there?" Kuririn shrugged. "Oh, well. Nothing happened." (That's what he thinks.) He changed and walked out his bedroom door.
He walked down the stairs and saw a pile of tissue on the coffee table. Was somebody crying? Kuririn thought to himself. Then he heard someone in the kitchen, so he walked in there.
"Juu-chan?" Kuririn called softly.
"Go away!" Juuhachigou yelled sitting at the kitchen table still sobbing.
"What's wrong, babe? I've never seen you cry this much before?" Kuririn asked walking up to her.
"It didn't seem like you cared to even ask me last night!" Juuhachigou yelled as she grabbed another tissue.
"What happened? What did I do? Tell me." Kuririn said a bit calmly.
"You know what happened!" Juuhachigou threw the tissue in the garbage.
Oh my kami. I forgot. "I'm sorry that we didn't do what we planned." Kuririn said.
"That's not what I'm talking about, genius." Juuhachigou said while blowing her nose.
"Then what the hell are you talking about?!" Kuririn said a bit frustrated.
"You know in hell what I'm talking about! Don't you even remember going to the club last night?! Huh?!" Juuhachigou yelled trying to lead Kuririn with clues.
"Yeah. What's wrong with that?" Kuririn said sitting down on a chair next to Juuhachigou.
Juuhachigou took a deep breath to calm herself down. "It was passed midnight and I started to get worried. So I left and went searching for you. I didn't know if you were in any kind of trouble." She took another deep breath. "When I finally found you, you were not alone."
"Because I was with Jeanu." Kuririn interrupted.
"NO YOU WEREN'T!" Juuhachigou yelled, which made Kuririn jump.
She's really mad at me. But why? I hope she didn't see me drinking when I vowed I wouldn't drink a lot like my father did. Kuririn wondered.
Juuhachigou stopped herself before she blew up on Kuririn. She took another deep breath and decided to continue the story.
"Jeanu was nowhere to be seen. But you were drunk and with someone else. And you...you....you..." Juuhachigou cried harder.
"I what?! What?! What did I do?!" Kuririn asked while grabbing Juuhachigou's shoulders, eager to know what he did. "Tell me what I did."
"YOU KISSED ANOTHER FUCKEN GIRL!" Juuhachigou yelled pushing Kuririn's hands off of her. "AND NOT JUST ANY GIRL! YOUR FUCKEN EX-GIRLFRIEND! I SAW IT WITH MY VERY OWN EYES! DON'T YOU DENY IT! AND IT LOOKED LIKE YOU LOVED IT MORE THEN WHEN YOU KISS ME!" She then got up furiously and walked towards the kitchen window.
Wait a sec....the drinking....the red head...the lipstick stain....Wait a minute! That dream wasn't a dream. Then...the red head was Maron! Kuririn thought the night through his head.
"Oh no." Kuririn covered his face ashamed and shocked. He sat there on the kitchen table gathering his thoughts.
I thought it was all a dream. I never actually thought that I would betray Juu-chan like this. I can't believe it. Kuririn thought to himself.
Kuririn got up. "Juu-chan, please let me explain." He begged walking up to her. Then he put his hand on her shoulder.
"Get your hands off me! And why the hell should I let you explain?!" Juuhachigou yelled pushing Kuririn hands off her once again still having tears in her eyes.
"Please! It meant nothing to me! You of all people should know that! I would never hurt you in any way!" Kuririn yelled so he could be heard.
"You should have thought about that before you went and done it! Why should I believe you?!" She wiped a few new tears that came streaming down her cheeks.
Kuririn bowed his head in shame and then looked up at her. "Please believe me." He begged.
"No! How long have we've been married, Kuririn?!" She yelled.
"About seven years." He answered.
"Right, about seven years! How can you play with my emotions like that! You of all people! Just because we're married doesn't give you a fucken right! Damn it Kuririn!" Juuhachigou made her way back to the table and sat down on a chair. Tears were still coming out of her eyes.
Kuririn was quiet and he also had tears in his eyes. I really screwed up. It's all my fault that she's hurt this much. He sat down next to her with his head down.
They sat there not saying a word, until Juuhachigou broke the silence. "I think its better if we went our separate ways for awhile. I really need to think things through."
Kuririn looked up at her. "Are you asking for a divorce?" More tears weald up in his eyes and steaming down his face.
Juuhachigou turned her head so she wouldn't let him see how hurt she was. She didn't want to see how hurt he was. "I just think we need to have time off from our marriage. I'm not really asking for a divorce nor a separation, just time off. And if it comes to that, then so be it." She grabbed for another tissue to wipe the tears in her eyes.
"I see." Kuririn reached to touch her hands, but Juuhachigou moved them away.
"I have to go now." Juuhachigou said while getting up from the kitchen table.
"No Juu-chan. You won't be leaving. I'll be the one leaving. You and Marron stay here. You guys need it more than I do." Kuririn said stopping Juuhachigou in her track. She looked at him and he looked back at her. She wanted to forgive him, but she couldn't. Something in her was stopping her.
"Alright. If you think it's right. Do what you want." Juuhachigou said, and then went through the kitchen door to the living room.
Kuririn followed her. "I'll leave now. I'll just pack the things I'll need. Tell Marron, when she gets up, that I love her." With that Kuririn went upstairs to pack up.
Juuhachigou wanted to tell him not to say anything like that and that she didn't want him to leave, but she couldn't.
Kuririn came down stairs with his belongings. "Bye Juu-chan. I still love you and please don't forget that." With that he left with tears in his eyes and flew to a near by city. When Juuhachigou saw him leave, she broke down and cried. She didn't even notice that Marron got up.
"Mommy? What's wrong? Why did daddy leave? Why were you guys yelling?" Marron asked as she walked up to her and sat down on her lap hugging her.
Juuhachigou wiped away her tears and hugged her back. Kami, she looks and acts like her father. She sighed sadly and flashed her a sad smile. "Don't worry about it Marron. Before your daddy left, he told me to tell you that he loved you."
Marron looked up at her with her puppy dog eyes. "I love him too, but will he come back soon?"
More tears went down Juuhachigou's cheek. "I don't know, Marron. I just don't know."
Juuhachigou didn't even see Master Roshi and Oolong standing in the hall. They were stund about what they had just heard. They've heard everything and wasn't sure what to do. "Man, they've never argued like that before." Master Roshi said.
"And I've never seen Juuhachigou cry like that before. She must be really hurt to even talk to anyone." Oolong said. "Let's just hope that Kuririn will tell us where he'll be staying at."
"Kuririn will call and tell us where he'll be staying. And if Juuhachigou wants to tell us about it, she will. We shouldn't pressure her because she could easily kill us if we annoy her." Master Roshi said a bit scared making his way back to his room.
"Yeah, you're right." Oolong said. He made sure they didn't see him and he walked out the door.

**FLASHBACK ENDS**

Kuririn just lay there thinking. Why did I agree to meet Jeanu at that club the other night? Why did I even start drinking? I promised myself that I wouldn't drink more than two glasses. I don't want my family dealing with an alcoholic father, like mine. I don't even know how much I drank? How ever many, I did drink too much. Why did I let Jeanu convince me to drink more? It was a mistake to go there in the first place. If I hadn't gone, then that bitch would've never seen me again and we would've never kiss. Now I will pay for my mistakes. Kuririn kept kicking himself for what had happened.

....a couple days later

Kuririn grabbed the phone that was in his hotel room. He dialed the number to Kame's House to check up one everyone.
It rang four times until someone answered it.
"Hello?" Juuhachigou answered.
"Juu-chan? How are you?" Kuririn asked sadly.
Do you want to know how I feel?! I feel like hell without you! But every minute I'm always thinking about you and that bitch! I just can't stop loving you. Juuhachigou thought. She really wanted to say that to him because she hadn't seen him in three days, but ended up saying something else.
"I'm alright I guess." She lied. "And you?" Tears weald up in Juuhachigou's eyes and Kuririn's. They had to hold them back.
Kuririn then heard Marron in the background laughing. He thought that she might be playing with Trunks-chan, Goten-chan, or Umigame. The tears in his eyes were now streaming down his face, but he wiped them away.
"I...I'm fine too." He also lied. "And how's Marron and everyone?"
"They're all alright, I guess. They all miss you though, especially Marron." And so do I. Juuhachigou thought silently.
"Yeah? So do I. I miss Marron and you both more." Kuririn said trying his best to make Juuhachigou feel better.
Juuhachigou was distracted by somebody pulling on her shirt, so she looked and it was Marron. "Hold on Kuririn."
"Ok." Kuririn said on the other line.
Juuhachigou covered the speaker so Kuririn wouldn't hear her conversation with Marron. "Yeah Marron? Do you want anything?"
"Is that daddy on the phone?" Marron said a bit excitedly.
"Yes it is. Do you want to talk to him?" Juuhachigou smiled at her.
"Yeah yeah! Please!" Marron said jumping up and down.
She chuckled. She has a lot of her father's spirit. "Ok. Let me tell him. I'm sure that he wouldn't mind."
"Ok!" Marron stopped jumping and had a great big smile on her face.
"Kuririn?" Juuhachigou said on the phone.
"Yeah?" Kuririn answered.
"Marron wants to talk to you." Juuhachigou looked at Marron smiling.
"Ok. Put her on. I would like to talk to her." Kuririn was happy that he had tears in his eyes. He thought that she wouldn't want to talk to him.
Juuhachigou handed the phone to Marron and sat down on the couch near her, while Marron sat down on the love seat that was near the phone.
"Hi daddy!" Marron said excitedly.
"Hey firefly. How are you?" Kuririn wiped away a tear from his eye.
"I'm ok, but sad without you. I miss you so much daddy." Marron said sadly.
"I miss you too." Kuririn said sadly.
"Daddy? Can I ask you something?" Marron asked.
"Yeah, sure. What is it?" Krillin asked sadly.
"When are you coming home?" Marron asked sadly.
Kuririn wiped away more tears from his eyes. "Want to know something, Marron?"
"Yeah?" Marron asked.
"I'm already there." Kuririn said knowing that she will not get what he was saying.
"What? I don't get it, daddy?" Marron asked.
It's just like the old times. Me explaining everything that she doesn't know or doesn't get. I just wished that I was there. Kuririn thought.
"Well, you have a part of your mother and me, and I have a part of you and your mother in my heart and mind. Also, take a look around. I'm the sunshine in your hair. I'm the whisper in the wind and I'll be your imaginary friend. And don't forget that, ok. And I know that I'll be in your prayers, right?" Kuririn explained.
"Yeah, I won't forget, daddy. I promise. I love you." Marron said a bit confused and with tears in her eyes. Juuhachigou saw Marron with tears in her eyes and went by her side, putting her arm around Marron's shoulders.
"I love you too sweet heart." Kuririn said sadly.
"So, daddy, when are you coming home?" Marron asked once again.
"I don't know, sweet heart. I just don't know." Kuririn explained sadly.
Juuhachigou whispered in Marron's ear, "Let me talk to your daddy, please." Marron nodded.
"Daddy? Mommy wants to talk to you now." Marron said sadly.
Kuririn sighed. "Ok. Put her on."
Marron handed the phone to Juuhachigou, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and went to play with the boys.
When Juuhachigou saw that Marron was outside she started to speak to Kuririn. "Do you need anything else, or are you going to make more people cry!" Juuhachigou raised her voice, but didn't really mean what she said.
"I just called to check up on you and Marron. That's all. I didn't mean to make you both cry." Kuririn wiped away the tears in his eyes. "I just wanted to tell you something." Kuririn said sadly.
"Yeah? What is it?" Juuhachigou asked.
"No matter what happens between us, I'm still in love with you. And I'll continue to love you until I die. Nothing and nobody, not even you, can keep me away from loving you and my family so much." Kuririn got a tissue and blew his nose.
Juuhachigou was taken back by this. She didn't know what to say. It took her a few minutes to respond to him. "I..uh..I love you too, but...we're still not ready...to work this out. We still need more time. Give me time." Juuhachigou said sadly.
"Oh ok. I understand. I'm so sorry. It's my fault." Kuririn said sadly.
"No. I'm sorry. I failed you. I didn't show you how much I love you. Maybe that's why you did what you did." Juuhachigou said sadly.
"No Juu-chan. Please don't say that. It's not true. Don't blame yourself. It was all my fault. Not yours." Kuririn said trying his best to comfort her.
"Bye Kuririn. Hope life treats you better because mine is dead." Juuhachigou started to cry just thinking about it.
"No! Please don't hang up!" Kuririn begged.

"NO! Please Juu-chan!" Kuririn yelled, but it was too late. Juuhachigou had already hung up the phone. Kuririn put the phone back on the receiver and cried. "Damn it. Damn it." He cried over his loss.
Over at Kame's House, Juuhachigou sat down on the love seat near the phone sobbing once again. "I'm sorry Kuririn, but it's the only way it could work out." Juuhachigou just sat there thinking and crying over the situation.

A/N: That's it for this chapter. Hope you guys like it. If you want the next chapter up, you know what to do. REVIEW! I beg you please. Tell me what you think because I would like to make each fic better. Ok, thanks everyone. I would like to have at least 5 reviews and I will have the next chapter up as soon as I can.
On to other business. My other fic "Let Him Be My Hero?" is not a dead fic. I was just fixing the next chapter to make it better. I'll update it in about a week or two. I promise. Just be patient. Maybe I'll have the chapter of both stories at the same time. Until then.
Ja ne!
