Yuki needed sometime away from Chloe, her brother, and her friends. She figured that she deserved to take sometime to relax, so she decided to go to the hot springs. She changed in the women's locker room, and then went out to the spring. Yuki dropped a note by Ichiro asking him if he'd come too. She hadn't talked to him for a while, and wanted to just talk.

Ichiro had read the note Yuki had left him, and after having been away from her for so long, he left as soon as he read it. After walking for a few minutes thinking about Yuki and how she had been and everything he reached the spa. He walked in the men's lockers and got himself changed. Then he stepped into the same spring Yuki was in. He quietly got ib the water and hugged her from behind. "Boo." He said peeking his head over her shoulders and giving her a kiss on her cheek.

Yuki was slightly startled when Ichiro hugged her from behind, but she smiled when he kissed her on the cheek. "I'm sorry I've been so busy, and that we don't get much time together." Yuki felt sad, but happy. She needed sometime alone with Ichiro. "So what all have you been up to lately?" She asked.

"Don't worry, it's ok." Ichiro thought about that question for a bit looking away as he answered. "Well, I think I really haven't done much these past months, just been very bored without you." He paused and looked at her. "How's Chloe?"

Yuki smiled a bit. "Well, maybe we should spend more time together then." She said. "Chloe's fine. I think that maybe, since you're her father, you should come over and play with her sometimes, well when you have time, or want to." Yuki said.

"Yes, but as it seems we have both been unable to see each other." Her paused. "That's good, I can barely remember her now that so much time has passed since the last time I saw her. I think I won't be able to recognize her." He added.

Yuki sighed. "I'm really sorry it's been so long." Yuki looked at him. "Ichiro, I've been thinking. I don't want to lose you, nor do I want our baby to not know who her dad is. I would like it if you would be around more, if that's not asking for too much." Yuki asked, hoping she didn't sound or pushy.

Ichiro looked at her. "I'll try to be with you as much as I can, but sometimes I just don't know what is happening or when it will end, but if you ever need me, I'll always be there no matter what I'm currently doing." He said with a smile.

"Okay. But I will always maybe not necessarily need you, but want you. Ichiro, thank you." Yuki said. She smiled, turned around, and hugged him.
