Dinner for four

[Justice]

Kane exited from the express elevator and pulled Luyu behind him into the vast estate that was his room. Wilson had gone ahead of the two and prepared the rooms as neatly and nicely as possible. His white wood grand piano was resting in the center of the meeting room and a nice table was set off to the side of the rest of the room, this one was a dark wood with a scarlet table cloth and already preset for four people, setting Kane and Luyu on opposite sides.

Food had already been pre-prepared by Wilson and it was all decided on what was most likely Luyu’s favorites, and a few of Kane’s, Kyoko’s, and Alex’s favorites that were nutritional. A larger bowl of fried rice with bacon attracted the most attention from everything because it was the most decorated out of all of them. A message had already been sent to his two children notifying them they would be having a guest tonight.

[Alex]

Alex made his way to the meeting room, his hands in his pockets, a small scowl on his face. Moments ago, he was in his rom, playing on his guitar, when he was interrupted by a knock. Opening the door, he received a message from his father that they'd be having a guest for dinner. A guest? This was pretty unusual, but not out of the ordinary.

It did however, take some time out of Alex's free time, particularly time he normally spent playing on his guitar. Oh well, whatever. As he entered the meeting room, he was still scowling, but his initial annoyance had abaited over time. He shuffled towards the table that had food laid out on it, and sat down, waiting for his sister, his father, and the mysterious guest to arrive.

He stretched and leaned back in his seat, and took a sip of water from a glass already poured for him. If he thought he was annoyed just because his music time had been interrupted, oh boy, he didn't want to know Kyoko's reaction, if she was drawing or doing something she liked, well, he just didn't want to know.

[luyu]

Kane had not wanted her to get more dressed up, but Luyu had decided that a slightly see-through tank top was not the proper top to wear when meeting the children of the man you were interested in. She had insisted on stopping at her suite to at least get a jacket, since she was sure to get chilly at dinner. Luyu got cold very easily, though she normally didn't mind it. The flowing black skirt, and white tank top she kept, as well as her gold sandals. All Luyu did to adjust the outfit was to add a short black jacket that hit just above her hips and the sleeves ended in bows just above her elbows. Tying her thick dark hair into a low ponytail, Luyu decided that was all she had needed to add.

Walking out of her apartment, Kane took her to his elevator, which took them to an area that she had never been before. Kane's personal apartments were huge, which should have been obvious for they took the entire top floor. The width of the building allowed for all the teacher suites to be on one floor, so for one apartment to take up an entire floor was fantastic.

If she had thought that the apartment was extraordinary, Luyu was shocked when she saw the table. There was a huge array of food there, including some of her favorite traditional native dishes, things she had never expected to find in Japan. She smiled at Kane and squeezed his hand lightly, only showing a tiny portion of her delight. Turning back to the table, Luyu caught sight of who must be Kane's son Alex. Taking her seat across from Kane, she took a good look at him and grinned. He was in her Intro to Music class.

"Good evening, Alex."

[Alex]

Alex leaned back in his seat, he was bored as hell, and getting hungry too. Occasionally he would take a drink of water from his glass, he could hear his stomach growling. As he stared out the window, he heard footsteps exiting from the express elevator. He went to take another drink to shut his stomach up, but when his father walked in with his guest, he sprayed out the water he had in his mouth, he was shocked. His father's guest was his music teacher!? Okay, time out, when did this happen? Alex didn't have to wonder how it happened, he placed the glass down on the table and could only stare as she and his father sat down.

"Good evening, Alex." Alex could only stare shocked and rudely at Dr. Luyu, " G....good evening, Dr. Luyu." he managed to say, by which time the initial shock had subsided. This was the guest? How unexpected. Alex's stomach once again began to growl, it was loud enough that even she could hear it. All Alex could do was grin sheepishly, he hadn't eaten anything, and water doesn't do very much except quench thirst. All that was missing was his sister, and rhen he could eat, but where the hell was she? " Kyo-chan, hurry up and get down here!" he thought, staring down at the table.

[Justice]

Kane smiled and looked between his son and the woman he loved before he spoke. His words were soft and loving and also chosen with great care. “As you two have already met, I guess I should explain a little more, Alex, this is the girl I loved before your mother, the girl I was torn away from when I was taken to Japan. And Luyu, this is my son, Alex, though I haven’t really been able to be a father figure to him…” he then suddenly became really cheerful at his words and took to his seat, calling for his daughter to come to dinner and meet their guest.

[luyu]

“As you two have already met, I guess I should explain a little more, Alex, this is the girl I loved before your mother, the girl I was torn away from when I was taken to Japan. And Luyu, this is my son, Alex, though I haven’t really been able to be a father figure to him…” Luyu smiled across the table at Kane with a loving look on her face as he spoke. They had not yet spoken of what had happened after he had gone to the hospital and dissapeared so long ago, but she was sure it would come in time. If Luyu was anything, she was patient.

"Alex is in my Intro to Music class," She said to Kane with a beaming smile, "this might explain why I looked at you so strangely in class, Alex. You look just like your father did when I first met him," She said gently to Alex, her voice much more musical now than when she spoke in class, "Except of course, you're not covered in bandages." Luyu chuckled softly and met Kane's eyes once more.

[Justice]

Kane chuckled a little at her statement as he reached across the table to hold her hand gently in his. He squeezed her fingers just a little, trying to show that as long as she would allow it, he would never leave her side again if he could help it. He couldn’t help but stare into her eyes…

OOC: wanted to respond but not much to say, heh but I responded…

[Kyoko Hikari]

Kyoko Hikari had been hidden away within the depths of her room, tucked away in the corner. Her small form curled upon a black bean bag, a sketch pad clutched in her hands, a pencil in the other. Long strands had been pulled up into two pig tails, and decorated with two purple ribbons, she hadn't taken them out after classes earlier that day.

She however, was not dressed to impress, and she felt no need to dress up for this occasion. When her father had ordered she'd go to dinner, the young girl watched him leave her room before she moved. Hiding her drawing pad under her bed mattress before finally standing. A pair of bunny slippers covered the girls feet, and she'd take a moment to head to the dinner table.

After all, Kyoko wasn't fond of company. Especially strangers, and she was for sure company tonight would be just that, a stranger. She stood by her door, listening to the voices, a female? She bit her lower lip, her blood almost boiling.

Father had brought home a woman?

She swallowed.
Almost scowling.

It was then that Kyoko decided to depart from her room, the door opening quickly, and thudding against the all as it had slid open. She exited, making her way to the table. A pair of black baggy pants hung from her hips, and a baggy blue shirt as well, Kyoko wasn't one for showing off her girlish figure, and she had no plans on changing.

She looked to the side as she would seat herself. Brushing strands of hair from her face, not daring to make eye contact with anyone, accept her dear brother.

".....How long will this take?"

[luyu]

Luyu tore her gaze from Kane as a young girl entered the dining room. The girl wore baggy clothes and bunny slippers, the woman smiled at her. This, she assumed, was Kyoko, and who could deny anyone comfort while in their own home? Luyu smiled at the girl brilliantly, happy to be meeting her.

"You must be Kyoko. My name is Luyu, I am glad to finally be making your acquaintance." Her hazel eyes shifted to Alex who looked so much like his father that her smile increased, "Oh and Alex, you don't have to call me Dr. outside of class, Luyu is just fine."

[Justice]

Kane smiled and grabbed a Montrachet 1978 from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti quietly pouring a glass for him, one for Luyu, and then turning to his two children he kindly offered to let them have some since it was such a special night for him. If they would accept he would quickly grab two more glasses from the cupboards and fill them with haste before setting the glasses in front of his children. No expense spared for loved ones. As soon as all the drinks were in place though, he would allow everyone to grab their food from the food table and then eat.

[Alex]

Alex nodded at what his father said, so his music teacher was the one whom his father had truly loved, which meant that his father and mother had been forced to marry each other. Well, that's something he finally knew about his father that was true. As he sat there, he heard the door open and quickly turned his gaze as Kyoko finally entered the room, and surprise surprise, she had a scowl on her face. How did he know.

She was clearly not happy, nor did she dress to impress anyone. That's his older sister for ya, she didn't care what anyone thought. "You must be Kyoko. My name is Luyu, I am glad to finally be making your acquaintance." He saw Luyu smile at Kyo-chan, but Kyo...was still clearly very annoyed.

As he watched her sit down, he saw his father had gotten up and taken a bottle from a cabinet and poured a glass for Luyu, then offered some to him and Kyoko. " Yeah, sure." he replied, as he father poured a glass for him as well. It was then time to eat. Can you say alleluia? Alex was starving, and immediately began taking food to eat, mostly food that he liked to eat. His plate piled with food, Alex immediately began eating.

His stomach happy to have food, Alex couldn't help but notice the look his father and Luyu were exchanging. Oh brother, romance, he'd never understand it, well, maybe not yet, but soon. " So..." he began, his fork and spoon in his hands, " You and father haven't seen each other in a long while?" he asked Luyu, that was the only conclusion he could come to. Not the greatest question to ask, but what else could he ask? His mind was sort of occupied with...other things.

[luyu]

Alex broke the ice food wise, and Luyu paused for someone else to dig in before she did. It just seemed curteous to not rush, as she was their guest.

Reaching forward, Luyu filled her plate with many of the native american foods that had been set out, as well as some japanese lookings things she did not recognize. She had not eaten out since she had moved here, and cooking for herself and meant that Luyu mainly ate salad and pasta. "So... you and father haven't seen each other in a long while?"

The woman put her spoon back into the bowl of miso soup and smiled at him. "Yes, your father and I met when we were about your age, Alex." As she spoke, Luyu's smile-crinkled hazel eyes shifted from Alex to Kyoko, then to linger on Kane. She paused, taking in the features she loved so much, then looked back to his son.

"He looked much as you do now, though he covered himself in a thick layer of bandages. The first time he took them off was on our first date." Luyu laughed softly and looked back at Kane. She was so happy here, in his presence, and she had to admit a growing adoration for his children, though Kyoko ignored her and Alex seemed slightly distracted. They each held characteristics that reminded her of their father as a boy, both in looks and demeanor.

[Alex]

Alex nodded as Luyu smiled and replied to his question. "Yes, your father and I met when we were about your age, Alex." He watched as she looked at him, then at Kyoko, before finally settling her gaze on his father. Alex, though his expression held a look of polite puzzlement, inside, he was rolling his eyes, romance, the one thing he'd never understand. Luyu then shifted her attention back to him and spoke. "He looked much as you do now, though he covered himself in a thick layer of bandages. The first time he took them off was on our first date." Bandages huh? Alex wasn't too surprised, his father wasn't exactly the type to show off his looks, he was the tough type. He did however, have a gentle side, though it only showed to certain people, two of them being him and Kyoko. " Well, I'm sure you and father are happy to see each other after so long." Alex said, before eating again.

The silence that followed after was painfully terrible, and Alex took this time to steal a look at his sister, who he was sure was very annoyed, mainy because her free time had gone out the window, and on top of that, father had brought a guest home, and a woman no less. While Alex didn't mind, since the woman was his teacher, he wasn't sure what his older sister's thoughts were. Taking another bite of the food on his plate, Alex couldn't think of anything else to talk about, for now.
