Chapter One - Prologue

"Daddy!"

I heard through my sleep.

"Daddy!"

I heard louder. Sitting up, I found myself listening harder.

"Momma! Daddy!" Akio cried out from his toddler bed.

I shot up out of bed and ran to the room, as did Tohru. Opening the door, we saw him sitting in the bed, tears in his eyes.

"Akio. What's wrong sweetheart?" Tohru asked, sitting next to him, pulling him into her lap, ruffling his hair gently in her hand.

"Momma! The bad man... he was chasing me!" He cried.

"Shhhh... Shhhh... It's okay sweetheart. It was just a bad dream." She said, rocking him.

I looked towards Yoshe's bed as she slept peacefully. I shook my head chuckling.

Tohru looked at me, her head cocked. "What are you laughing about?" She asked, smiling lightly.

"I swear, that daughter of ours could sleep through a tsunami and an earthquake combined."

Tohru looked at her, nodding as she rocked our three year old son in her arms. She looked at me and winked as Akio soon fell back to sleep. Slowly, she stood up and gently laid Akio back down, turning his lamp off.

Quietly, we both walked out, cracking the door open just a little bit.

As we walked into our room, we both laid down. As I went to completely lay down, I removed my t-shirt, moving under the covers with her. Rolling over, I looked at her as her eyes were sleepily. "So sleepy..." I said, chuckling.

Tohru nodded, sighing as she snuggled her face into my chest. "Kyo... I have something to... tell you..." She whispered.

I looked down at her sleepily. "What is it Tohru?" I asked kindly.

Though, before I could get an answer, Tohru fell asleep.

Shaking my head, I chuckled, leaning my head down, after turning the monitor on, falling back to sleep myself.
