004

Keyla hung up and took a deep breath before going back inside. Arrived in Taro's room, she sat down by Taro's bed and held his hand before speaking to Genzo

*Taro's father is coming over as soon as possible, I just told him that Taro is in the hospital but not exactly what he has. He also calls his mother. I hope Taro wakes up by then* Keyla put her head back on the back of Taro's hand. She hoped so much that he would feel her nearness and come to himself faster.

3 days passed, Keyla was constantly at his bed, she only went home to shower. Because Genzo had to go to training and couldn't be there half the day. But Taro still hadn't woken up. Her phone rang

*Yes, please

...oh Mr. Misaki

...well, Genzo will pick her up

…until this evening

She hung up, wrote a note with the time, because she even dared to forget it, the way she was at the moment, then she turned back to Taro.

*Brother fight* Keyla laid her head next to Taro's hand, she fell asleep from exhaustion.

Around 3 p.m. Genzo entered the room, he decided to let Keyla sleep a little longer. He found the note next to her. "6pm-Misaki". Genzo could already guess that Taro's father would arrive at the airport at 6 p.m. Genzo got coffee because if Keyla woke up she would need it. When he came back, Taro's room got up, 1 doctor and 2 nurses rushed in. And Keyla came out completely distraught and waited in front of the door. Genzo put down the coffee and hugged her.

*what happened darling?* Genzo had to know what was going on what

*he woke up* Keyla couldn't get out more because she was fighting back tears again. Now it was time to wait and see what the doctors say. Time didn't pass and it felt like an eternity to Keyla.

After half an hour the nurses and the doctor came out of the room and Keyla stormed over to them.

*how is he?* Keyla still had tears in her eyes

*he'll be back, don't worry. But he needs a lot of rest, so please don't get excited* with the words, the doctor left Keyla standing. She was angry again

*Excitement, what does he think we're doing with taro, really* moaning, she went to Genzo

*Honey you have to pick up Taro's father* she hugged him and gave him a kiss

Keyla, meanwhile, knocked at Taro's and then went in. Taro tried to smile when he saw her, but his face still hurt from the moment he let it go.

*Man, don't do that to me* in Keyla everything came up and a huge burden fell off, she cried, but this time with joy and not with sorrow. She sat back down by the bed and held his hand.

*It wasn't me, I was just standing in the wrong place at the wrong time* Taro tried to set Keyla up, but she just sighed

*Taro? Your father will be here soon. Since we didn't know how long and if you even... anyway we called him* Keyla looked at Taro's hand, which lay in hers. Taro withdrew her hand and caressed her cheek. Keyla held his hand and now pressed her cheek against his hand and didn't let go either. After a while she took his hand down and kissed the back of his hand before putting it down again.

Keyla sat like that for almost half an hour, neither of them saying anything until there was a knock and Taro's father entered the room

*I'll leave you two alone* Keyla smiled at Taro and then left the room and fell into Genzo's arms.

*Honey I have to apologize to you* Keyla stopped because Genzo had put a finger to her lips

*no you don't have to, I wouldn't have reacted differently. Even if I should have let you know straight away* Genzo pulled Keyla back to him, kissed her on the forehead and hugged her

*when I'm not in the hospital, there are people around me. I'm doing something wrong* Keyla buried herself in Genzo's arms because she was right and Genzo knew that too, only he didn't say anything.

They both sat down on the chairs that were in the aisle. Keyla snuggled into Genzo's shoulder and actually fell asleep immediately. An hour later, Taro's father came out, who actually wanted to thank Keyla, because he had found out that she was at his son's bed day and night and, above all, that she had informed him.

*send her kind regards, I'll see you tomorrow* with these words Taro's father left the hospital. He wanted to look for a hotel nearby so he could be with his son if anything happened.

*Honey?* Genzo woke Keyla tenderly, he knew she had hardly slept the last few days and didn't really want to wake her up. But he knew that if he was considerate again, Keyla would resent him. He kissed her temple. Keyla stretched and gave him a sleepy look.

*hms?* that's all she said

*Taro's father just left, I thought maybe you want to go back to him* Genzo smiled at Keyla, because she was suddenly wide awake

*yes sure* Keyla was grateful to Genzo for waking her up

Both went back to Taro and Keyla sat down next to him on the bed. She looked at him closely, who thought it would be 13 right away, just as Keyla looked. But she didn't say anything, just looked at him. Genzo laid his arm on her thigh and now looked at Taro as well.

*how are you?* Keyla broke the silence

*it's slowly coming back. Earlier I thought I was going to die...* Taro broke off the sentence because he saw Keyla's look, who could have just jumped at him for that comment.

*Sorry* Taro mumbled to himself

*we'll go home too, I'm fast and everyone. You rest that we can get you out of here soon. Oh, your cell phone is on the table, if something happens, get in touch* Keyla hugged Taro and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Genzo also said goodbye to Taro.

In the hallway, Genzo put an arm around his Keyla and went with her to the car, he immediately put her on the passenger side, she was too exhausted and that was more than obvious.

Before they got home, Keyla had fallen asleep. But Genzo couldn't wake her up either, so he had no choice but to carry her into the bedroom, where he took off her shoes and covered her up. Genzo took a shower and then fell into bed completely exhausted, he hadn't gotten much sleep either and he still had his training during the day. He, too, fell asleep immediately.

Genzo's alarm clock woke Keyla up from her sleep.

*oh man* grumbling, she got up and disappeared into the shower. While Keyla was in the shower, Genzo woke up and went to the kitchen to make coffee. He put both cups on the table and waited for his Keyla. She came down not 5 minutes later completely sleepy and almost missed the last step, but still held on so that she didn't fall.

*phew, tight* Keyla looked wide-eyed at the last step, which almost brought her down. Now that she thought about it she had to laugh.

Keyla walked into the kitchen grinning and sat down across from Genzo

*morning darling* Keyla gave Genzo a crooked, expectant look

*tomorrow* Genzo was still half asleep

*uh darling, we have to talk about the invitations later, they have to go out* Keyla was surprised herself, because she had completely forgotten that in the rush. Genzo looked at her, too, dumbfounded.

*What then? Or don't you want to anymore?* Keyla raised an eyebrow

*What? Sure, but I didn't even think about that anymore* Genzo looked at her in horror, how could she think something like that

Keyla and Genzo completed the training and then drove to Taro's hospital. Thank God it was much better. They both got home around 7 p.m. Keyla dug out her list and handed it to Genzo, who looked at her confused.

*Honey, there are 2 I don't want around* Genzo pointed to his parents

*man darling, why not? Don't you think on such an important day they should be there?* Keyla pouted at Genzo. He should be glad he still had parents, unlike her

*no Key, I don't want them with me, that's that* Genzo grabbed the pen and crossed out his parents. He agreed with everyone else. Keyla retreated to the study and finished the invitations. Around 11:00 p.m., Genzo came to check on her.

*honey, how far are you?* he looked at her worried because Keyla was chalk white

*just finished the last one. We'll take them to the post office tomorrow. But you still have to come up with something for Kojiro* Keyla got up and stood right in front of Genzo

*why Kojiro?* he looked at her questioningly

*because it's his birthday on the day of the bachelor party?* Keyla felt Genzo's forehead. He wasn't usually that forgetful.

*I think I should start taking notes. I don't know what's going on either* he looked at her thoughtfully

*I hope it's not because of my age, because then I'll be completely lost from next year* Keyla had to grin, because Genzo looked at her in shock.

Keyla took Genzo to bed, he needed to rest as much as she did.

A week later it was time, Keyla picked up Taro from the hospital, together with his father they drove to the airport. Keyla hugged Taro and gave him a kiss.

*get in touch when you've landed* she replied

*I do, take care* Taro and his father got on the plane and Keyla went home. 20 hours later her phone beeped

*hey sister, was delivered at home. Do not worry. Thanks for the invitation, of course I'll come* Taro

Keyla knew that the confirmations and rejections would be coming in over the next few days. So far, they only had confirmation from Taro and from Kaltz and his girlfriend. Only 10 left.

1 week later, Keyla's phone didn't stop ringing because Salva, Kojiro, Karl, Hikaru and Leo called her, all agreeing to the upcoming wedding. Keyla was happy because those were some of the most important people she wanted to be there. And Izabella also called again because she was so happy to be the maid of honor.

*Treasure? 4 people are still missing, everyone else has agreed* Keyla happily fell into her Genzo's arms.

*and who's missing now?* Genzo preferred to ask that instead of asking who had agreed, because there were more

*Tsubasa, Izawa, Taki and Kisugi are still missing* Keyla sighed

*I hope Tsubasa hasn't forgotten that, clumsy as he always is* Keyla grinned at Genzo, who nodded wildly, because that could well be possible.

*if he doesn't answer by next week, just give him a call. Or you tell Taro and he will take care of it* Genzo kissed his Keyla and got dressed again. Because he finally wanted to look into the city for a suit. Only instead of taro did he take Kaltz with him.

*Honey you'd have to hurry if you want to be on time* Keyla rolled her eyes, because Genzo took forever in the bathroom again

*I'll be done in a minute* Genzo grumbled back, apparently the hairstyling didn't work out the way he wanted

*you really can't be helped anymore, I don't even need that long* Keyla giggled, Genzo ripped open the door and swept past her. Keyla walked into the kitchen grinning. She sat down at the table armed with a piece of paper and a pen, she still wanted to prepare a few things that were related to the wedding. She didn't need to plan the bachelorette party, because the girls wanted to have a relaxing evening at home, with champagne, films and a beauty program. Because they didn't have to go out to get drunk.

Genzo came down the stairs, gave her a kiss and stormed out the door, Keyla leaned back a bit and only saw the door fly shut before she flinched and almost fell over with the chair.

There were still 5 weeks until the wedding. Funnily enough, Keyla wasn't excited at all. Keyla and Genzo organized another location for the celebration after the wedding, it wasn't even far from the house and it was on a beach.

So far everything was planned, Genzo wanted to take care of Kojiro's birthday and the bachelor party. Keyla didn't talk him into it and she certainly didn't want to know what he was planning. She was better off not knowing. The last confirmations also trickled in, even those from Tsubasa without Keyla having to call Taro or him personally. Izawa and Kisugi came with their followers because they had had a woman by their side for some time. So they were finally 17 people.

There were only 5 days left until the wedding. Today Taki, Kisugi, Izawa, Taro, Leo and Izabella would arrive. They had the longest way and the greatest time difference. The rest would arrive tomorrow.

Genzo and Keyla were sitting at the kitchen table having breakfast

*Treasure? Remind me to get the guest house ready. A lot has to be shifted and pushed together when the girls are with us* Keyla looked into Genzo's surprised face, because apparently he hadn't thought of something like that at all

*you do the planning, I keep myself out of it, I only forget half anyway* Genzo smiled at her

*I just wanted to hear that* giggling, Keyla cleared the table

*when are the boys actually arriving?* Genzo didn't dare to ask that because Keyla had already told him that before. But his memory really seemed to be starting to lack a lot

*Are you serious now?* Keyla looked at him with wide eyes

*yes* he mumbled

*Man darling, I'm really getting worried. Why did I pin the note to the fridge?* Keyla shook her head, she slowly gave up.

Genzo crept to the fridge and sure enough there was a list of everyone's arrival times.

*you pick up Leo and Izabella?* Genzo asked cautiously, actually he could have guessed it.

*yes darling and you the others* Keyla sighed

*and how do we do that tomorrow?* Genzo looked confused at Keyla

*since you have the friendly game tomorrow, I'll take care of all the travel. In a pinch, I gave Taro a nudge* Keyla kissed Genzo. If she had left the planning to him, he would have left half the guests at the airport or possibly not even invited them.

*oh dear, did you take care of the caterer?* Keyla had to laugh inwardly, Genzo's face spoke volumes

*um, should I?* Genzo blushed when Keyla shoved his to-do list in front of him

*yes you should* Keyla patted Genzo on the shoulder because what he didn't know Keyla had taken care of it because she knew Genzo would forget that

*do you think if I call him now, will it work in time?* Genzo hoped so, but Keyla shook his head telling him that it was pointless now

Genzo slapped his forehead with his hand

*oh my god it's Sunday no wonder* Keyla was already laughing at him

*Honey firstly it's Saturday and secondly I've done this a long time ago. Sometimes one might think that you forget everything with excitement* Keyla pulled Genzo to her and hugged him

*do you think it's because of that? Then why don't you forget anything?* he looked at her questioningly

*because I have my notes and I have to say, I'm not excited yet, everything will come later. Besides, one of us has to keep a cool head. You can see what comes out when it's not like that* Keyla gave Genzo a kiss and wormed her way under his arms towards the door

*where do you want to go now?* Genzo didn't understand anything anymore

*so slowly this is scary. I still want to go shopping or have you forgotten that too? Man honey don't just stand there and come* Keyla waited impatiently, because the gentleman still had to put on his shoes

Keyla and Genzo drove off a short time later. They still needed all sorts of odds and ends for the women's evening, for the boys and for the wedding and afterwards. Besides, the boys and girls were there for a few days, so breakfast, lunch and dinner had to be planned. This could be quite expensive fun. After almost 4 hours everything was done, Keyla and Genzo arrived home completely exhausted and unpacked everything.

*Honey you gotta go!* Keyla nudged Genzo in the side because he almost forgot. Genzo checked his watch himself

*You're right, I'm hurrying* Genzo wanted to kiss her, but she took a step back

*I'd rather not, otherwise you'll forget what the street signs mean in the rush* Giggling, she pulled Genzo to him, who kissed her grumbling

Genzo drove to the airport and picked up the first guests. Keyla kept wondering how Genzo was going to solve this in terms of space, but this time she didn't say anything to him, he would notice if there were too many people in front of him and there wasn't enough space in the car. Keyla, meanwhile, was getting the beds ready in the guest house. Thank God there were 2 bathrooms and several bedrooms, so nobody got in each other's way.

*next time tents will be pitched in the garden* grumbled Keyla, because she was slightly annoyed

A good hour later Genzo came back, Keyla was already waiting in front of the door. First she greeted Kisugi +Natzuki and Taki. Taro fidgeted around next to her because he didn't want to wait any longer. When Keyla was through, she opened her arms and Taro threw herself into them. Taro gave her a kiss on the cheek and hugged her tightly

*na sister* grinning, he broke away from Keyla

*what are you grinning like that for?* Keyla looked at him confused

*ask your future husband* Taro crossed his arms and turned to Genzo, who would have preferred to sunk into the ground

*Man Taro, did that have to be the case?* Genzo glared at Taro

*Honey?* Keyla was curious now

*yeah, well, I almost got lost* Genzo kicked a small stone away with his foot and didn't dare to look at Keyla. She, in turn, burst out laughing and couldn't get over it so quickly. Taro and the others laughed too. The whole thing was more than embarrassing for Genzo, because he had been living in Hamburg for years and it was the first time he had almost gotten lost.

*come in first, there's coffee waiting for you. You can bring the things over later* Keyla directed the pack into the living room.

Once there, Keyla took the floor again

*I have to leave you alone for a moment, I'll pick up the next ones* but before Keyla could grab her bag, she stopped Taro

*key? Who else is coming?* he looked at her questioningly

*Leo and Izabella today. Tsubasa, Kojiro, Salva and Karl tomorrow. But Darling? I just see there are 3 missing, where did you leave Izawa or his girlfriend and Hikaru?* Keyla turned white as chalk, she was missing that now. But Kisugi spoke up

*don't panic they flew an hour later, so you should be there soon.*

*well, you guys are a bunch of pranksters, where should I put them?* Keyla hated it when things didn't go as planned

*Are you following Taro?* Keyla didn't even ask Genzo, even if he were to follow, he might get lost

*can do* Genzo tossed his key to Taro

Keyla and Taro set off. They arrived 30 minutes later, Leo and Izabella's flight was only half an hour later. Keyla kept a lookout for the missing, but no one was to be seen far and wide. After 10 minutes, Taro nudged her because he saw Hikaru and Izawa.

Hikaru hugged Keyla and kissed her cheek, but Keyla looked confused at Izawa

*where's your tag?*

*she didn't come with us, we had a fight at the airport, so we flew an hour later. And so that I didn't have to fly alone, Hikaru came with me* Keyla hugged him, she was sorry. now he was here and couldn't even sort it out.

*I'm sorry for that. But I'm glad you came anyway*

*so who's missing now?* Taro wriggled around next to her again

*don't be so worried, you might think you've had 20 energy drinks or you're about to get married. But to answer your question, Leo and Izabella are still missing* Keyla was annoyed again, she didn't need so much anxiety

20 minutes later it was time, Taro had already driven back with Hikaru and Izawa and Keyla was waiting for the 2 Brazilians. They came running hand in hand. Both greeted Keyla with a hug. Beaming, Izabella showed off her engagement ring

*Congratulations you two. And when is the wedding?* Keyla grinned at Leo

*that isn't until next year, so you have enough time to find a suitable present* Leo also grinned at Keyla now

The 3 made their way home. Genzo and the others were already waiting. Arrived in the living room, pure chaos reigned. Keyla whistled once and introduced everyone to each other. Shortly thereafter, chaos broke out again, because everyone was talking at once. Keyla got too much and fled to the kitchen.

*well, that can be brighter tomorrow when everyone is here* Keyla buried her face in her hands

Taro stood behind her and put his hands on her shoulders

*well, little one, already annoyed?*

*not annoyed, just a crazy headache and I'm sick too* Keyla didn't move a bit. Taro filled a glass of water and put it in front of her

*thanks, but wasn't necessary* Keyla tilted her head back and smiled at Taro. He sat down opposite her now and looked at her closely

*is everything really ok with you? You seem ill* he looked at her worried

*yeah I'm fine, it's probably all the stress* Keyla took a sip of her water and looked toward the living room, where there was still a lot of activity

*I should start eating or I won't be able to finish today.* Keyla got up and rummaged in the fridge. There was supposed to be soup today, it was quick and she didn't have to chop so much because she had already done that last night. All she had to do was throw everything in a pot and wait for it to finish.
