I really liked the latter part of this chapter. I'm so glad the wife has not been demonized so far. I feel bad for her. She really has no one to talk to. poor thing... and to be trapped in the same household as that mother-in-law of hers, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I really enjoy reading this story and I can't wait for the next chapter to see what happens.

My only two negative comments is the use of Japanese. In some of the the parts it was used incorrectly. sensei and etc.

And her name being hard to pronounce would actually be the easiest name to pronounce. They would say サ(sa)ラ(ra) but in an A sound not E sound in there pronouciation. It makes me cringe when you say Sarua. As well as China and Korea too would be able to pronounce it well.

Sorry, had to say it but, I understand that you do not speak Japanese.

But I do enjoy this story^^ Thank you!

Great story so far!  I love Shouda! I am glad that Sara is handling it the way she is, but I don't think Mama-san is going to let it rest. As for the wife, still waters run deep and I think she may blow! And Yuki, I hope he has matured and really become a man, because he was a punk before!  Let's be honest, there are more mature ways to end a relationship!  I don't know how I feel about them getting together, beyond just being there for their son.  Keep up the great work!

Thank you! Poor Yuki gets no love, but perhaps he doesn't deserve any. Sara and Yuki hmmm....but he's married. :)

You get a yay from me. Please keep writing this story.

Yuri mother is a trip. I can see the fight is about to began.

As for Yuri wife she is about to show a side to her that no one has ever seen. She is just to quiet to me.

His father likes Sara but he is going to have to step in and help her when it comes to his wife.

I'm really like this story, your doing really well capturing japanese culture, I've spent a few years living there.... I can't wait to see how this story ends

well done continuation. looking forward to more.

Shouda a nice kid! You're doing a great job with this story!

Thank you! :)

WOW!  I really like this story.  It quietly packs a PUNCH.  I loved seeing Sara and Yuki together before his parents showed up at his house and he so easily gave her up.  He didn't even LOOK at, rather he appeared to be ashamed.  I think Sara is VERY generous bringing Shouda to the Umezawa house.  Yuki does NOT deserve it.  And Shouda....what a wonderful little boy and SO smart.  I hope this time that Yuki shows some substance of character in regards to Sara and Shouda, but especially in regards to his mother, who appears to be a tyrant.  Sara and Shouda must really be strong in the face of Mrs. Umezawa-san, because they cannot necessarily count on good ole Yuki.  I feel sorry for his wife...a little.  It is not her fault. 

I cannot wait to read more of your story....it is VERY VERY GOOD.

Nyeesha

I knew thjat woman would try something like this! I like Shouda's responses! Let's see what momma's gonna try next since she couldn't intimidate Sara! Still waiting for Kaoru's reaction!  Bring on the next chapter!

is it mean of me to want someone to lace yuki's mom's tea with arsenic? hate that woman. feeling awfully bad for yuki's wife. she should grow a backbone and divorce yuki and go be happy! don't know how i feel about yuki and sara getting back together. at least until yuki grows some balls and tells his parents to go jump off a cliff.

Author's Response:

I wouldn't say mean.... You are the second person to mention divorce. Arsenic, cliffs...you got me worried.

Great start! I love BW/AM stories! Will he tell his wife he has a son and how will she react? She might want to get him just because she can't have any.

I am so happy!!! Please continue, it was wonderful and still the possibilities. There should be a divorce coming ;-).  Shouda is so mature for considering his mothers feelings.
