Twenty-first Rose: Tokio Reviews the Situation

Aunt Tokio's Dayroom...
On a beautiful bright spring morning, Tokio Wantanabe sits in her study. A lavishly decorated room of her own she called the 'Dayroom.' Here she spends most of her mornings after breakfast, answering letters, fielding calls from her multiple charities, or just relaxing. On this particular morning, she is anything but relaxed. She is so engrossed in thought, that she failed to notice when her husband, Taki, has returned from a morning of playing golf. She jumps as she feels his warm lips caress her cheek.
"Ohayou, my love!" He grins.
Toki stares at him for a moment, then smiles as she silently takes in his appearance. He was a beacon of vibrant pastel colors. From his pale pink short sleeve polo shirt, to the white, gray, and light blue golf khakis he was wearing. Shaking her head, she silently wondered if her adorable hubby of some 25 years was indeed color blind. "How was your game dear?" She smiled.
"Just grand! I almost made 18 holes, and would have too! But, alas, I lost my ball sank in the pond at the course." He explained, slightly dejected. Leaving Toki to wonder why he even bothers in the first place. Taki has never been one for outdoor sports. It was just his way of keeping up with Touga.
"I'm sure you'll do better next time, dear" She says as she looks out of the large window next to her desk, as her mind wondered back to its previous thoughts.
Frowning at his wife's sullen mood, Taki began to ponder what could be ailing her. 'Well, it couldn't be anything I've done. She didn't hit me with anything, and she's not giving me the silent treatment. Hmm? Sango? Nah, those 2 aren't even back from their honeymoon yet. Think, man, think! Ah~ha!' He slams his fist into the palm of his hand. "Okay, okay, Dumpling, I'll have a talk with him," he smiles, thinking problem solved. 'It must have something to do with Kohaku!' "Where is he? In his room?"
Looking up at her husband, Toki frowns. "Where is who? What are you talking about?"
Sighing, he says. "Kohaku? Where is he, and what has he done to make you look so downtrodden?"
She shakes her head. "Ko hasn't done anything. He isn't even home. He's out with his friends at the Odiba amusement park."
Now Taki was really confused. If she wasn't upset with any of them, then who... The lightbulb came on in his brain. "What has Touga done this time?" She shook her head again, and he sighed and sat down in the chair next to hers. "Let me guess, Sesshomaru and the lovely lady, InuYasha have gone off and eloped!" He chuckled.
Tokio turned on him, her honey colored eyes flashing. "Don't even joke about that!"
"Why are you so upset?" Taki asks, the smile disappearing from his handsome face. "I thought you liked and accepted the young lady? What has changed?"
With a heavy sigh, she calms. "I'm sorry, love. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just that...sigh... I just got off the phone with Touga, before you came in. He told me that Sess and InuYasha have set a date to be married at the end of next month."
"The end of June? Why so soon? You...don't...think she's... "
"NO!" She gasped. "No, Touga told me that when she stays the night with them, she sleeps in the room Megumi used before she and he were married. At HER insistence!"
"She's not pregnant. Are there any doubts?"
"No, they love each other and just don't want to wait."
"So? What's the problem?"
Turning to him, Toki stated. "The 'problem' as you so put it is that there are no precautions being made! Nothing! Okay! So, they love each other! They have waited over 18 years to be together again. But, now here they are! But, it's not just them. Sess has already been burned by marriage. And, what of Rin? What if something should happen between them? Little Rin could and will be caught in the middle!
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Touga informed me that, InuYasha has partitioned the court to legally adopt Rin. She and Sess say they want to be a real family. What if they find out that they are not right for each other, what will happen to Rin? If her own mother did have the time of day for her, what do you think would happen if InuYasha and Sess don't make it? She will be crushed, that's what! Taki, am I the only one that is concerned about the dangers of this rushed union?" She pleads to her still slightly baffled husband.
In the 40 odd years he has known his wife, he thought that he had seen all of her emotional outbreaks and mood swings. But this was different. He had never seen her so desperate about anything before. Taking her hand in his he tried to soothe her. "Toki, my love, I'm sure that if all was not as it should be, Touga would have stepped in by now. I'm sure that your worries are for not."
Snatching her hand back, Toki stared at him. "What if my worries are sound? What's to say that things don't change a year, or 2 or 10!" Cupping his face in her hand. "Taki, what if he's making an even bigger mistake than he did in the past? The last mistake cost him 2.5 million dollars plus an additional 300,000. If this is a mistake as well, how much will it cost him?" She stands and walks to the set of glass French doors leading to a large baloney. Walking outside she stare at her vast gardens.
Taki walks up behind her, and envelope her in his strong arms pulling her back against him. Kissing the side of her neck, he says. "I hear you, Dumpling, and I see what you are getting at. No, dumpling. Your worries are sound and based."
Closing her eyes she leaned back against the warmth of her husband. "I do like the girl, Taki. She reminds me so much of Megumi. I know that she loves him, I have no doubts about that. But, she is not Megumi and Sess is not Touga. What's to say that their love will stand the test of time, like my brothers and his wife?" Turning in his embrace, she buries her head in his chest. "What's to say that what they feel now, will last as long as what we feel for each other, lumpy?"
Hugging her tightly to himself, Taki grins at the nickname she gave him so long ago. 'She only calls me that when she's feeling insure.' "What do you have in mind, dearheart?"
"Lumpy," she sighs. "Who is the best lawyer at your firm?"
He thought a moment. "Well, with Sango and Miroku not here, I guess that would be me. Why do you ask?"
"I need you to help me protect Sess and Rin, and even InuYasha, from any downfall."
"Of course, dumpling, but how?"
Looking up at him, eyes wide and imploring. "Taki, I want you to draft a pre nuptial agreement for them. One that will insure that not only will Rin be protected, but Sess will be too. He had to pay 2 million for his last mistake, I don't want him to pay anymore, If anything happens."
"Sess won't like it."
"It's for his own good! If Touga won't protect them, and Sess won't protect himself or Rin, or any children that may and will come. Then we shall have to do it for them!"
Sighing heavy, Taki gave his wife a warm kiss on the lips. "All right, dumpling. I'll get started on it today. I'll have a rough draft for you to read by tomorrow."
Smiling, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted off her mind, Tokio framed his face in both her hands and bent his head for her kiss. Letting her lips convey all her love she felt for her hubby. Breaking the kiss, she smiled. "You don't have to get started on it right this minute, do you?"
Seeing the smoldering look of passion in her eyes, Taki felt his own heat rising. Taking her in his arms he picked her up and carried her up to their bedroom. "No, dumpling. Not right now!"
