His was wife busy putting their 3 months old son Kenji when Takeshi got home from work.

"Hi Babes" he was about to kiss his wife when she evades him.

"What's the problem?" he put his things on the floor then follows his wife. Still not talking to him.

"Risa, what's the matter, is there any problem?" again repeating his question earlier while said wife busied herself preparing his dinner; he was only meet with his wife's piercing glare before she turns her back and continues pealing fruits. Still confused he started eating.

"Did I do something wrong this morning? Or did I forget something? I did tell her I love her and kiss her." He tried to recount what happened this morning to himself but still he found nothing that might have angered his wife.

He noticed the things he had left in the living room, eyes widening "How could I forget!" when he finished with his dinner he went to fetch something from his things and brought out a bouquet of lilies, his wife's favorite and proceed to hug her from the back and presented the flowers.

Risa now in a better mood faces her husband with a sweet smile but was instantly wiped out when he said.

"Happy Birthday!"

"You senile old man!" shouted an irate Risa as she went upstairs leaving a now even more confused Takeshi in the kitchen. "What did I do now?" he questioned his wife.

"Don't talk to me!" a loud slamming of their bedroom door was heard. "He didn't even remember that it's our wedding anniversary" Risa thought as she situated herself in the bed.

"Haha… looks like you won't be able to sleep in the same room as your wife" an amused Asari said from the kitchen door as he went to sit beside Takeshi.

"I really don't know what's wrong with her"

"Think… think really hard if can't remember then answer this." Asari suggested to the depressed 10th rain guardian then continued "did you do something unpleasant that might have upset her this morning before you go to work?"

"None"

"Did you play with your son even for a short while?"

"Yes I did"

"Is there an important occasion today?" Takeshi think for a while before answering.

"When I said Happy Birthday she became angry so… it's not her birthday"

"Aah… I see then what day is it today?"

"July 13, why?"

"And?" his eyes went wide upon realizing something. "Shit! How could I forget? No wonder she's angry!"

"Takeshi language! I don't want Kenji learning that from you." Scolded Asari.

"Sorry, what am I going to do now?"

"Well think of something for her to forgive you."

"Like what?" pleaded Takeshi.

"In my case I used music for my wife to forgive me, I serenade her." Explained Asari, hoping that in some way could help his descendant.

"That's a good idea but, there's a problem"

"What?"

"I don't know how to sing" he said earning him a chuckle from an amused 1st rain guardian.

"No problem, I'll help you"

"Really"

"Anything for you my dear descendant" he cajoled the now relieved Takeshi.

"Thanks!" giving his ancestor a grin.
