"Good morning, darling." Rei whispered playfully. Korimi grunted and rolled awat from him. Rei chuckled and climbed out of her. He kissed Korimi's forehead gently, dressed, then headed down the hall. He glanced out the window to confirm that it was in fact pre-dawn, and knocked on the only other door.
"Hey, kiddo, wake up!" He opened the door to find the bed empty, and a note pinned to the pillow reading 'Ha ha, beat you dad! Love, Kaen'
Rei laughed and walked towards the dojo. He leaned against the shoji, watching his son run himself through some martial arts drills. When Kaen finished, he turned and bowed to his father.
"Morning dad!" He said cheerfully.
"Morning Kaen. Ready to train?" Rei held out his blade, Driger. Kaen nodded, pulling out his own green and black blade from his pocket. The bit chip did not hold an beast yet, but it did have a picture of a panther on it. It had been his first gift from his godmother, Catty, on his first birthday. The blade itself was a present from Kenny and Dizzi on his 5th birthday.
Rei was relishing these last days with his son, as he was turning 11. He had inherited his mother's talents for magic, and was going to be attending a school in Europe starting September.
"3… 2… 1… Let it rip!"
The two blades hit the dish, bounced off each other, and began circling, waiting for the opportunity to attack. Both father and son were so absorbed neither noticed when Korimi came and unwittingly imitated her husband's position, leaning against the shoji, smiling at the moment.
"Aww man!" Kaen complained when he lost. He retrieved his blade from where it landed outside the dish.
"Morning mom! I'm hungry." He dried before leaving the dojo in the direction of the kitchen. His parents laughed and shared a good-morning kiss as he left.
"Your son is wearing me out." Rei mock-complained. Korimi rolled her eyes.
"Come on, you were the one who wanted kids in the first place!"
"So?" Rei murmured as he nuzzled her neck. Korimi sighed and gave up, unable to argue between the early hour and Rei's gentle lips on her neck.
"What would you do without me " Rei asked.
"Manage to sleep past 8 more than once a week." Korimi replied. Rei grinned and kissed her once more before releasing her.
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
