Kamui would have stayed at the office, but that place was too stifling. He only stayed there when he really had to, but he tried not to be around his father's things. Even if he had used the office years after his father's passing, Kamui still kept it the same. And whenever, someone would try to change something, he was already flipping out. His father's office was one of the few things he had of the other, so he tried his best to keep in the same likeness as the other.

But Kamui found the place suffocating at times. It made him nervous to be there. He didn't know how to  explain the anxiety he felt, but he knew it was real enough for him to be in a hurry to leave.So, Kamui decided to finish his work in the comforts of his own home. Sure it wasn't as quiet as his father's office, but he had his way of dealing with the nuisances that tried to threaten his sleep or his productivity. So as soon as he came in he decided to sit down and do just that. Work. Daring anyone to interrupt him.

"I don't think that, but it shows you mean enough to me to pay attention." Kamui replied as she kissed his forehead. That was saying a lot. He didn't pay attention to most people, unless it had to deal with the business, himself or his mother. Everyone else was just there, there to help him or hurt him.

When the topic changed to Hatori, Kamui was silent for a while. He had nothing against Hatori. He met him a couple of times and he knew that had only respect for his mother. That was not to say, he wasn't overprotective of her."I hope not to busy. And Namine?"

"Shy as ever I'm afraid. But she's doing well, Hatori treats her with all the love she deserves." She smiled as she sipped her tea and her thoughts drifted to Hatori. After her husband's death, it came as a surprise to even her that she had actually gone on a date with her him. And what perhaps surprised everyone that knew her was that she continued to date him.

Serenity leaned back in her chair. "Kamui, do you like Hatori?"

Kamui nodded his head as his mother spoke of Namine. That was his first impression of her too and he couldn't object to her mother's observation of how well Hatori treated her. However, he turned his attention back to his mother when she asked him a question. And not just a question, it was a question about Hatori.

The young entrepreneur is slow to answer as if considering his answer. Considering other thoughts. He set his tea cup down and then said,"...he's fine as a person. I have nothing against him."

She gazed at Kamui for a long moment. She was reminded so much of Mamoru. The way his hair fell, his height and broad shoulders was the same. His kindness that he didn't like it being commented on... A sad smile came to Serenity's lips, a smile Kamui probably recognized by now was the one she wore when she thought of her late love. Pale fingers wrapped around Kamui's own hand.

"Kamui, are you alright with my dating him?" She had been dating Hatori for well over a year but she was still worried about Kamui's opinion of him.

Kamui looked to her as his mother wrapped her fingers around his hand. He caught a glimpse of the sad smile. Knowing well what it meant, but he didn't bring attention to it. Because there was no need. When she smiled liked like that he was reminded of his father, who cause her to smile so sadly. His grip on his hand tightened around those fingers.

"I have nothing against him personally. I think the ideal of you dating bothered me." Kamui replied honestly. It was hard for Kamui to come with terms with it. Hatori, was innocent, what irked him was his mother dating. At first, he thought he was just finding a replacement for father, but he knew his mother was not that type of person. She cared for his father a lot, so he knew that was not true. But what it really came down to was the fact that he had to share his mother with someone else. It was selfish. But he had his mother to himself for a long time, and felt Hatori was encroaching his territory.

He patted his mother's hand gently, showing that he had resolved that issue."But it doesn't bother me now. I know that you will always have a place for me and father in your heart, no matter who you fall in love with."

"Kamui, I'm glad you know you always have a place. I want you to know that you as my son will always be first in my heart. You're my precious son, the heir to the family and I loved your father with my entirety." And she had. For several years she had been in a depression at her husband's death. She still got up and she still went out as the headmistress, but when her husband had been killed it was like she had thought all color had left the world. Even though she kept going on for her son, family, and friends, the first years after Mamoru's death had been hardest on her. There were nights that she would fall asleep sobbing, holding his pocket-watch to her breasts.

But that had been more than a decade ago. It had been Kamui that had pulled her out of her depression although he didn't know that. Serenity smiled and shifted to kiss Kamui's temple.

"My handsome and wonderful son."

"I know." The young man said as his mother assured him of his place in her heart and how she felt about her father. Kamui knew very well, how much his father's death affected her. Even though, his mother may think he was oblivious to her pain,he always saw through the strong front she made for him and others.

Kamui smiled at that."As long as you're happy that's all I care about."

"I am," she said as she caressed his cheek. "I am happy Kamui. So long as this world turns I will keep going and do all I can for it so that you and all my students and everyone can have a beautiful place to live."
