Unmei no Haguruma: Jiten (Wheel of Fate: Rotation)

Part I: Missive

She was making breakfast when she heard the knock on the door. Curious, she left the kitchen to answer it.

To her surprise, Kaoru stood at the door, her eyes large and bright with unshed tears.

"Kaoruchan? What's wrong?"

"I… It's nothing, Megumisan, I'm sorry I bothered you!" Turning around, Kaoru ran off. Bewildered, she shut the door.

"Who was it?" her husband asked from the inner court.

"It was… no one important," Megumi said. "Breakfast will be ready shortly." She made her way into the kitchen to to check the soup pot.

"You shouldn't be doing that alone," came the reply. Warm hands were suddenly on hers, a warm masculine chest pressed up against her back. Warm breath tickled her ear. "This one will help you, Megumidono."

She turned her face to kiss the cheek that pressed against hers, tracing the scar with her lips…

"I love you, Kensan."
