Kurisu listened to his mother speak and watched her look over his work, her visit was unexpected but it was nice still. "I'll make sure he gets it, don't worry and I will, it's no good when it gets cold anyway" Kurisu then watched as his mother walked over to the door "Do you want me to request that Captain Kuchiki returns home when he gets back? I feel he's been focusing to much on training and has been neglecting you recently...it's not right, Captain or not he still has a wife to care for...something I could only wish for"

Miwa stopped walking, standing right in front of the door and placing a hand over her heart after Kurisu finished talking. The face of Kurisu's fiancee flashed in her mind, causing her to frown and look down. Throughout the whole time she was there, she tried so hard not to think of her but that was proving difficult. After a short moment of silence, Miwa spoke up after sighing. [b]"Your father's just doing what he thinks is best... As Captain and as a man carrying the Kuchiki Clan's name... As well as a man with great honour and pride... Your father has a lot of titles to uphold, he has many duties which he must attend to, even if that means being unable to come home for a while... And as his wife, I understand that"[/b] Looking back over her shoulder, Miwa smiled a little at her son. [b]"It may seem as though he's neglecting me but I assure you he most certainly is not. He's doing his very best to keep up his titles and be the man that everyone can look up to and be lead by. The man that everyone can trust to put everything on the line to protect everyone and carry out his roles. Your father has alot on his plate Kurisu, I just... wish I could be of more use to him... I want to be able to loosen the load on his shoulders when I can see they're effecting him too much... but unfortunately I don't posses the strength to do so. I'm not suitable for what he does... One couldn't even imagine the strain it puts on his soul... No one else may be able to notice, but I know your father well, I can see when it effects him but all I can do is try my best to be as helpful as possible. Your father's a stronger man than everyone thinks heh, so don't worry about us, just worry about yourself"[/b] Realising she may of talked for too long, Miwa decided to say one last thing to Kurisu before she left. [b]"And son... I'm deeply sorry about what happened... But you mustn't hold on to the past, that won't do you any good... We tried our best but it wasn't good enough... However, you know that all she wanted was for you to be Okay and alive... From what I see, you are those things and even more... She would of been happy to know that.... Just don't let yourself be consumed by the past son... I'm speaking from experience and although my situation may of been different, in the end, that doesn't matter, all that matters is that you don't let yourself be controlled by it and just try to live on... not just for yourself, but for her also... You know that she'll always love you Kurisu and just wants the best for you"[/b] Miwa gave him one last soft smile before exiting the room and sighing once more. [i]'Now, what to do... I guess I'll just go home but it's boring without anyone else there... hmm'[/i]
