Introducing, Kido Ren!

Tsubomi Kido was actually enthralled with the life that she had now. She was now an adult, married to a bubbly childish woman and had the strangest yet loving family in existence. Even now, she sat watching as they argued over the simplest things. She remembered a time when she witnessed her parents fighting and the anger in their eyes and voices. Though there was no malice here, it was simply enjoyment of one another's presence. A smile tugged at Kido's lips as a pair of arms wrapped around her shoulders and a gentle kiss was placed to her ear.

"Yes Momo?"

The idol giggled and leaned forward so that Kido could see her. The two of them had grown closer during their teenage years and after several awkward dates along with pushing, they married.

"You're spacing out again, why don't you join everyone?" Momo encouraged before leaning back.

Kido felt a shove forward and glanced back at her wife who hummed looking away as though she hadn't done anything. With a roll of her eyes, she could hear the sounds of a struggle and glanced around to find the source. Everyone was crowded around the coffee table in the center of the Dan's secret base. There, a little girl barely the age of nine years old struggled to arm wrestle with Seto. The frog-like man tried not to laugh as her eyebrows furrowed in concentration and her tinier hand shook against his. Although everyone was holding in laughter, she was determined to beat Seto and seemed to block out everything around her.

It didn't even register to her that Kido waved her hand towards Seto. He nodded and pretended to struggle against her before letting his hand lower. Once his hand touched the table she cheered in excitement and leapt into the air jumping up and down with glee.

"I won! I won! Did you see me?"

Momo nodded enthusiastically running over to scoop her up in her arms. The two of them made quite a pair together. The newest addition to their little family, a little girl by the name of Ren. Her bright brown eyes matched her mother's glimmering with mischief and excitement taking in everything around them. However, her hair was a healthy green color just like Kido's and reached to her shoulders. Though she liked to mimic her and wear her hair in a ponytail, it wasn't long enough to be just like Kido's yet. Ren turned her eyes to Kido and held out her arms with an enthusiastic grin echoing her winning glow.

Kido took her in her arms and listened as Ren rambled on and on of how she battled Seto only to win. Over her head, Seto was being comforted by Mary while laughing nervously. Everyone besides Ren and Mary knew that Seto threw the match, it would be a while before Ren would be able to beat him without Kido's aid.

"Alright guys! Whats our plan for today?"

It wasn't often that the Dan was able to hang out together like this. However, it was a special today. While the Dan's other children were in school, Ren was allowed to accompany her parents for the day due to it being the day before her birthday. She was genuinely excited to be with her parents and her favorite uncles and aunts today. They decided that they would take her to all of her favorite places in the morning, then in the evening - they could have a firework party with all of the family together.

"Amusement park!" Everyone except Shintaro and Kido cried.

Kido seemed to have an ill green complexion to the thought of the rides but upon seeing Ren's happy face, she couldn't help but want to go along with it. After getting all of their things together, they headed to the nearby amusement park. Ren was happily walking in between Momo and Kido as they stood at the back of the group swinging her along as they held her by the hands. Looking from one of her parents to the other, Ren was happy to have their attention on her. Her mama, Kido, was usually quiet but she always gave her hugs and let her climb on her and playing with her hair. Her mommy, Momo, was the exact opposite. She was loud and could always get her mama to do the oddest things but they all had fun and didn't really gripe about it.

Once they got there, Ren decided to ride all of the roller coasters that she was allowed to with her parents. They rode the entire day! Ayano helped Shintaro once he got sick, Momo kept Kido from having a panic attack. Seto and Mary enjoyed themselves, Kano laughed the entire time while Hibiya rolled his eyes and Hiyori laughed. Takane was bored but she enjoyed watching Ren run about like a mad man dragging Shintaro with her, and Haruka was trying to eat all the food he could. It was a rather wonderful day. Though it had to come to an end, Ren was happy when her friends had come to play with her.

Just like her parents promised, they had a firework party and everything was amazing.

Family Mornings

"Mama? Wake up Mama."

Kido hated alarm clocks. But when the alarm clock was her nine year old daughter, there was nothing she could do about it. Slowly picking her head up she looked over to see Ren standing there with a smile on her face. Her eyes then moved over to the clock and she could see the numbers 7:30 in bold. Well, if Ren was awake then there would be no hope of going back to sleep. The little girl seemed to know that as she clambered over and into Kido's arms. Once she was safely secured to Kido, legs around her torso and arms around her neck as best as she could - she glanced over at her sleeping mommy. Momo's hair laid askew under her head and her clothes were riding up. Though she seemed rather peaceful if the drool was any indication of her bliss.

"Mama is drooling again," she giggled.

"Yes she is, isn't she?"

Kido reached over and wiped the drool away. Momo's lips curled upwards into a smile and Kido smiled a bit brushing a stray hair behind her ear. Ren admired the look that her Mama had in her eyes anytime she looked at her Mommy. It was as if she was the most precious thing in the world. Then when her Mama looked at her, her eyes would always grow really soft and she'd hug her for a long time and squeeze her then let her go and give her a smile. She loved her Mama's smiles, they were rare but when they came - they were the best things ever.

Resting her head against her Mama's shoulder, she smiled as she felt her Mama moving them to the kitchen. She sat Ren down at her spot at the table. Going to grab some eggs from the fridge, Kido began making breakfast. As soon as the first plate was set down, Momo was emerging from her room heading to the kitchen. Ren waved at her from her seat at the table and Momo returned it with a yawn. The two of them sat close together and watched as Kido made the rest of breakfast. Before, she would have been wary if anyone was staring at her while she worked. But now, it was a usual occurrence and didn't bother as much.

Soon she finished placing a plate of toast, eggs, bacon, grits, and a cup of orange juice for both of them. Their eyes twinkled and they expressed their thanks by giving Kido a kiss on either cheek before she could stand straight. Her face lit up and she rubbed the back of her neck before muttering a 'you're welcome'.

Introducing, Kisaragi Akane and Kokonose Yasu!

"Ren! Wait up! Reeen!"

Looking behind her, a blur of black tumbled into Ren sending them both to the ground. She was the first to pop up noticing a little girl with short black hair and two familiar clips in it. She looked up at her and gave her a grin which Ren was happy to return. Holding out her hand, the little girl took it and rose to her feet. Her eyes were a warm brown color although her hair was darker than anything, she wore two clips in her hair and it was short just like her father's. She was Ren's cousin and playmate, Kisaragi Akane.

"Sorry, my mama and I were running a little late today and I had to hurry."

Ren shook her head and helped pat off Akane's clothes. The two of them continued to walk on talking happily. Akane was born only shortly after Ren. The two of them were rather close just like their parents, and if anyone asked - it was almost as though they were sisters. Grandpa Kenjiro always remarked that they were like copies of their parents, although he added if Ren's mama was nicer. He got a kick in the stomach for that, but he was okay afterwards.

"Hey! You two need to hurry up before the gate closes!"

Ren and Akane turned to look noticing a small girl with black hair falling around her head messily. She had bright grey eyes, and a mole under her left eye. Arms folded and a pair of headphones around her neck, Akane lit up with joy while Ren grinned.

"Yasu! You're here!"

Jogging up to meet her, the two of them hugged her on their respective sides. Yasu's cheeks lit up like fire and she tried to shake them off to no avail. It was a sight to see two girls hanging off her arms like ragdolls laughing at being drug along. She sighed and gave them a bit of a smile.

"C'mon guys, we have to get to class before we're late."

Akane agreed and let her go while Ren linked their arms together and tugged them forward. Kenjiro fixed his glasses as he watched the three run past. A smile formed on his lips hearing Yasu's yell of anger and Akane's calming voice along with Ren's rambunctious yelling. He had transferred to their elementary to keep an eye out for them considering that they were his grandchildren thus needed to be protected like the little kittens they were. However, it was nice watching them grow together. Ren was the one always getting into things, Yasu was drug along because of her inability to resist Ren's pouting. Akane came along but she was often the one explaining the situation to the adults afterwards.

Although Ren looked like Kido, she was more of Momo than anything.

Yasu had Takane's attitude but Haruka's ability to eat along with his love for fun.

Akane was the spitting image of Ayano, but she shared Shintaro's ability to reason.

The three of them were rather close knit together and it was quite nice especially since they were stronger together than apart.

"Ren! Cut it out!"

"R-Ren! Don't touch that!"

"Whats it gonna h- wah!"

Needless to say, he was seeing Kido, Takane, and Ayano later on his office. It had something to do with the little girl covered in foam from a fire extinguisher, another with a black eye from being accidentally hit with it, and the last apologizing for her friends.
