Why did she have to insist on adopting the kid? I don't have even half of a mind toward how to handle a child! Let alone one this young!
Haruka thought as she glanced over at the little girl who was coloring nearby, though she seemed more quite than usual.
Thank god the little brat isn't bugging me.
She thought as she stretched out onto the couch, turning her attention toward the book that she was reading. However after a few minutes she felt a tug on her shirtsleeve, calling her attention toward the young child.
"What?"
Hotaru flinched at the tone but slowly held out the paper and replied nervously
"I made it for you."
Haruka rolled her eyes as she glanced down at the picture, noticing how oddly colored everything was.
"You didn't even color anything right."
The little girls' lip quivered at that as she retracted the paper and headed back over to where her crayons were laying.
Haruka glanced over and sighed, noticing that the little girl was redoing it.
"It's fine….Don't redo it." She ordered, sounding more annoyed than apologetic.
Hotaru glanced up at that, noticing how Haruka had spoken.
It was the first time that Haruka had ever even came close to apologizing her.
"Haruka!" Michiru's voice called from somewhere outside calling both their attention to the door.
"Let's go help with groceries." Haruka sighed as she got up.
Hotaru suddenly hugged the woman, catching her off-guard and almost fell backward.
"what the heck you brat?" she grumbled, though she didn't push her away.
"never thought I'd see that." Setsuna stated, walking in with an armful of groceries.
"Get off….I need to go help them."
Setsuna snickered as Hotaru backed up, letting Haruka go toward the door, grumbling.
"don't worry …That's just Haruka for you." Setsuna whispered to their daughter.
Haruka sighed once she got finished, only to find a 'corrected' picture sitting on the coffee table.
"what did you say to her Haruka? She seemed really hurt." Setsuna asked, earning a scoff.
"the hell should I know? I can't read minds!" Haruka snapped back.
