helped him."
    "I have to run out for awhile, so you have the whole place to yourself.
    You'll find everything you might need where you slept."
    After Ken left to run his errands, Akira had the house to himself. After washing up the breakfast dishes. He took a hot shower hoping that it would stimulate his memory about last night. When it did start to come to him, Akira sat down in the shower. It can't be true, it had to be one of her sick games to bring them together again. But what if it's not. He had to find out the truth without drawing attention to himself. And if it was 42 | P a g e

    so, he had to let Deanna go. He pulled his knees up to his chest and cried.
    He wasn't sure of how long he had been in the shower, but the hot water had run cold. Drying himself off, he got dressed and set off to explore the house. The house didn't have a lot of things just the basics necessities. On the side, of the house was a flower garden with a Nishikigoi - Koi pond.
    A stone bench sat near the pond, and in the far distance, you could see Mt Fuji. Akira sat on the bench, watching the fish swimming. As he sat there, his thoughts went back to his conversation with Coco.
    ‘Coco looked at him and gave a little laugh, as she poured a glass of Hennessy.
    "Lighten up, life's short enough as it is. So how long has it been?" she asked as she plopped down on the couch next to Akira.
    "It hasn't been long enough." Akira replied.
    "A year and a half. Yeah, it's been about that long."
    Coco placed a hand on Akira's thigh and rubbed it. She was hoping to quench a fire that had suddenly developed between her legs when she let him in.
    "Sorry to hear about Tony." his eyes glanced around the room. "So where is the baby?"

    She stopped rubbing his thigh, seeing that this was not going to be easy to arouse him.
    "Well if you must know, there was no baby." downing her drink and setting the glass on a nearby table. "It was a lie I told to get Tony to marry me and to make you mad."
    Akira looked closer at Coco, she had lost some weight, she looked as if the fast life had finally caught up with her. Coco got up and poured herself another drink.
    "Don't you think you should lay off drinking? You’ve had too already."
    Coco picked up the glass and started to throw the liquor in Akira's face.
    Instead, she downed it in one gulp. And laughed as she re-filled the glass a third time.
    "Why should I throw good liquor on you? When I can drink it."
    "How long are you here in Tokyo for? "
    Akira asking by hoping that she wouldn't try to re-kindle the old flames.
    She had put him through hell. And he wasn't about to let her come between him and Deanna.

    "Why you want to get back with me?" as she got down on her knees between Akira's legs and rubbed his crouch. "It would be just like the good old' times, you loved it when I sucked you dry."
    "You must be outside your mind. All that bull shit you put me through!
    Bitch you're crazy!" Akira jump up from the couch and headed towards the door.
    Coco laughed and blocked his way. "You don't really think she's going to have anything to do with you when she finds out."
    "What are you talking about?” he replied hoping to throw Coco off, if she knew about Deanna.
    “Oh yeah, I know that you’ve been seeing someone.”
    “Find out what, about you and I? That's in the past. You and I have nothing in common."
    Akira pushed her out of the way to open the door, but Coco pushed it closed.
    "We have a lot more in common than you think. It's funny how your past can come back to haunt you."

    "You're right about the past, you just had to come back." he said angrily, opening the door only to have it once again pushed closed.
    Coco begin to laugh uncontrollably, while trying to speak.
    "You don't get it, do you? Our past has brought us together again. Do you really know why Tony committed Suicide?"
    "To get away from you and your bull-shit!" he answered in a snide way.
    Coco giggled, letting
