Summary: Sanada's older brother Gennosuke and his wife Li Mei have 4 years old twins. Kuan Ti (boy) and Kagami. Unfortunately their grandmother on their mother side died. So parents and grandparents on the father side decided to go to China for the burial. The only problem was the kids. They couldn't go with their parents and they didn't find a babysitter who would look after them during two weeks.

Poor Sanada was the one chosen to take care of his dear nephew and niece. How will he manage to survive? Will he need some help? And who would be the one to help him?...

DAY 0

Sanada Genichirou, 20 years old, head of the family dojo and one of the best kendoka of Japan, was napping in his room. He had a difficult night. He broke up with his girlfriend of two years. She wanted more of his time and she couldn't understand that he had to work more since his brother decided to stop helping with the dojo. Said brother just move out of the family house with his Chinese wife and their two kids.

They had decided that it was high time for them to have their own house even though said house was just at the end of the street. His parents weren't home. His father was working and his mother was with his sister-in-law. Her mother has just died and she was helping her to organize her travel to China.

So yeah Sanada was napping. He had a tough morning teaching kendo to a bunch retired people who didn't understand the need of doing katas before starting to fight. He thought that sleeping a bit before his afternoon lesson could only do him some good. Yes he had to go to RikkaiDai to coach the kendo team before going back to his dojo to train some children and young adult. And after that he had to go to his evening lesson. Kendo was a huge part of his life but he thought that learning some law wouldn't hurt.

He was sleeping peacefully when someone knocked on his bedroom door. As he didn't answer, the person opened said door and shook Sanada's shoulder. Poor guy woke up and glared at the intruder who happened to be his mother. He apologized, sat down, combed his hair with his hands and waited for his mother to talk.

"I am really sorry to wake you up. We have a little problem with the burial. It seems that Gennosuke's father in law had a seizure. They will leave tomorrow and I will go with them. I phoned your father and he will come with us. We will need him to deal with the legal aspect of the burial."

"I guess I will be alone. That is not a problem, Mother."

"Well you won't be alone. We couldn't find a baby sitter to look after your nephew and your niece. So we thought that you could look after them."

Hearing that, Sanada was now fully awake. He was hoping he was still sleeping. Oh he did like his brother's children. It was just that he wasn't that fond of kids. Of kids that they didn't know what the word "obey" meant.

"Of course I could but I have plenty of things to do. The retired people team has a competition next weekend and I have two essays to write for my law school. Rikkaidai had a boarding school. If you want I can phone the head master and he will make sure that Kuan Ti and Kagami have a room."

His mother stared at him.

"How heartless of you, Genichirou! They have just lost their grandmother and you want to send them to a boarding school because you are too busy to take care of them. I did not bring you up to be cold and heartless towards innocent children. We decided that you would be the one to take care of them. It is my last word. Do not even think to phone your father to complain. We talked about it beforehand."

Sanada sighed. He knew it was going to happen. First he broke up with his girlfriend, then he broke his shoelaces and a wooden sword and this could only be the conclusion of everything. Nothing could be worse than spending two weeks with two four years old brats who only liked to behave like little demons.

The kids liked him and he liked them. They were part of his family. He never had to look after children. Nobody trusted him enough to leave him alone with some children. Even Niou Masaharu, former Trickster, didn't trust him with his two years old daughter. Yes Niou got his girlfriend pregnant during their first year of college. The nearest he ever was had been at Christmas or for their birthday when he gave them the presents he bought them.

"Of course mother I will look after them." Sanada said bowing his head.

"Marvelous. I pinned on the fridge their doctor's number; you'll be able to phone us on your father's cell phone. Li Mei made a list of what they are allowed to do and what they can not eat."

"You will thank Li Mei-sama for me. I will do my best."

"You are the best son ever. If you have some problems you can ask Ryuzaki-chan to come and help you. She can even stay here if needed."

Sanada-san winked at her son.

"Oh but you can also ask Yukimura-kun to help you. After all he has a younger sister. And if you are really desperate you may ask that friend of yours. Niou… You may also go and see Saruwatari-san. I talked to her. She will help if needed."

"Yes mother…"

"Great. I will go back to Gennosuke's. Li Mei will come back with my grandchildren. I do not know if we will come home to eat. You can either come and join us or you can cook a little something for you. See you later."

Sanada-san went out leaving poor Sanada alone with the beginning of a horrible headache…


A/N:Poor Sanada… I don't know yet if there will be some romance. If there is some, would you rather have a Sanada/Sakuno one or a Sanada/Yukimura one. I know I said he had a girlfriend. As far as I'm concerned he can be bisexual… Sorry for the little delay. Got some computer problems. To apologize I'll post day1 too
