Gabriel got out of the shower while I conditioned my hair. I stepped out and dried off, walking to the bedroom after putting on my lotion and brushing my teeth, Gabriel had clothes laid out for me. I put on the dress he picked, it was one of the new ones we ordered, it was short, tight, and white. I grinned, skipping panties and a bra since he picked black ones that would show through anyway. I walked out of the bedroom to find Gabriel sitting at the table with Sakura and Haishi.

"Morning Grace!" Sakura said happily. "Breakfast is here if you're hungry."

"Good morning." I smiled and went to sit next to her, I grabbed a pair of chop sticks and grabbed a bowl of rice and some salmon, and started eating.

"So what time is your flight today?" She asked, drinking her tea.

"Our flight leaves at 7:00 tonight so we need to leave at 4:30-5:00." I answered.

"Okay, so was there anything you wanted to do today? Haishi and I are free all day..." She was interrupted by a knock.

Sasori and his mate came in and took their shoes off, walking in and smiling.

"Morning everyone, hope we aren't late for breakfast, I'm starving." He complained, and we laughed. They joined us at the table and started eating.

"I don't think there was anything in particular I had on my list. Maybe get some spices and souvenirs to send back to the pack? Are there any good markets or shops nearby?"

Sakura nodded and said she would take me around. We finished up our breakfast quickly so we would have lots of time, it was almost 7:30 now. We cleaned up the table some for the staff and grabbed our shoes to head out. We took the subway and headed to a few markets and streets lined with shops. I saw a beautiful knife set and knew it would be a perfect gift for Anna and the kitchen staff as a thank you for all they do.

"I'm just going to pop in here and grab something, I'll be right back!" I called to them running across the street and into the shop.

I greeted the shop owner, and she came over with a smile on her face. We talked about a few different sets, and I ended up getting three of the ones that first caught my eye. She wrapped them up for me and placed them in a box, I thanked her and headed out. Gabriel raised his eyebrows at the large box in my hands.

"What did you get, little Mate?"

"I got some beautiful knives for Anna and the staff. You can't beat Japanese steel blades." I grinned.

"I have some errands to run, I can drop these off at the hotel if you'd like?" Mai said quietly to me, I smiled.

"That would be amazing. Thank you for that. Will you be around later?"

"I won't, unfortunately." She said a little sadly, I handed the box to Gabriel quickly and pulled her in for a hug. She was surprised but returned it.

"It was a pleasure meeting you, I do hope you are able to come to our side of the world someday for a visit." I said warmly.

She nodded smiling and took the box from Gabriel bowing to us, Sasori pulled her in for a kiss, and she blushed. She grabbed the bags from Sakura and Haishi as well and said goodbye. We waved and headed further down the street, I saw a cat cafe across the street and had to go.

"Anyone up for some coffee and treats?" I asked, pointing to the cafe.

They just nodded smiling, and we headed over. It was pretty busy, but there was thankfully a large table empty. I told them I'd go save our seats and told Gabriel to get me something cold and a sweet treat. He just nodded. I walked to the table and there was a very fat cat sleeping on one of the chairs, I sat in the seat next to it.
