Chapter 1 : Nice to meet you !
Daiki was waiting at the airport. Such a calm and beautiful day, completed with the sweet singing of the lively birds playing with each other in the sky in the first day of spring. Daiki was standing, waiting, eager to meet with an old friend of his. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and begun humming a little while looking at the people around him. At this time of the year, the airport is crowded, that is, Japan in spring time is a must see. There were families, one of them could have been American and there were couples –maybe newlyweds- thought Daiki, there were also businessmen and more.
However, as Daiki grew more impatient, he saw someone waving at him, then, a smile made his way on Daiki's face.
-It's been a while Tenchi!
-I see you didn't change Daiki!
-Nor did Aoi-chan!
Next to the man called Tenchi was a woman with a calm posture, serene face features and milky chocolate hair reaching to her hips, her face was also framed by the very same hair and bangs were covering most of her right eye area. Speaking of them, her eyes were like ocean blue gems where you could lose yourself in. They wore a sweet feeling of cleverness, serenity and great wisdom.
-Daiki, I told you, God knows how many times to stop calling her Aoi-chan-adviced Tenchi with a hint of annoyance.
-Oh jeez, sorry! So, who's this little cutie pie over there?
-Sometimes I wonder how Kiyoshi is able to deal with you.
-Stop that already and answer me instead!
Daiki sat on his knees and looked and the "cutie pie" he mentioned earlier. The "cutie pie" was firmly holding Aoi's hand and tried hiding behind her.
-Why sweetie, say hello to Ootori-ojisan! Tell him your name. Aoi said that with such a motherly smile, Daiki would think she is nothing like his wife.
The little girl shyly looked at her shoes not losing the grip she had on her mother's hand. She was a small child, dressed in a white cherry blossom flowers printed dress. Her bangs were chocolate brown like her mother's and her, for now, hidden eyes were also ocean blue but with a deeper shade than Aoi's ones. Finally, she timidly bowed to the man facing her and murmured with an innocent voice:
-M-my name i-is….M-Madoka…Amano Madoka.
Then, she quickly hid herself behind her mother again.
-My~She's so cute! Tenchi, you've still got lot to tell me. Aww she looks so much like her mother!
-As you wish Lolicon- Responded Tenchi with his trademark sigh.
Later that day, the four of them were front of Tenchi's house, they had been talking a lot (A/N except Madoka…in case it wasn't very clear…I guess), through the journey to Tenchi's.
~Flashbaaaaack~
-So, will you finally settle down here? My sons often go to your place to hang out with yours. Also, Hiroshi and Kazehaya, as grown up as they could behave, they still need their parents to be around. I swear those two really are understanding.
Daiki was always checking on Tenchi's two eldest sons, Hiroshi was ten and Kazehaya was eleven and they amazingly took good care of themselves and the house, sometimes counting on the help of Daiki's eldest sons, Ayame and Hachi, who were the same age as them. That apart, they were still only children and unconsciously needed their parents to stick around.
Tenchi's emerald eyes darkened with guilt and sadness, extremely aware that his answer to Daiki's question would sadly be not that surprising. This answer won't be pretty, neither for him and less for someone more involved.
-I'm afraid that…I won't be able to stay…rather than I won't stay.
He stayed silent for a minute and Daiki gestured for him to continue.
-Actually, there is still a lot of business and stuff going on in France…Aoi and I need to go back there.
Aoi glanced with sorrow at her sleeping daughter, knowing what was coming next.
-On top of that…we can't take Mado-chan with us, I prefer she studies here in Japan and meets her brothers as well, and that from the youngest age possible. It would be difficult for her if she stayed by our side.
Daiki didn't answer right away, but, he understood very well his best friend's situation. He sighed while muttering 'I knew it', knowing how much Tenchi worked since his childhood to become what he is now and earn his position. Somehow, he was a little jealous of the emerald eyed man, there was something great about him and he saw it in those sharp eyes of his. Daiki only continued driving, golden gaze staring at the busy road, he was still deep in thought until he decided to come back from his little world.
-Ah! You know Tenchi, you're not the only one with a third child now!
Tenchi, startled, looked at Daiki with an expression telling –what do you mean, explain yourself-
-Well, Kiyoshi and I…we also have a third child.
Aoi's mood brightened, there wasn't only Tenchi and Daiki who knew each other since childhood, Kiyoshi and she were like sisters to one and another. She was so happy for Kiyoshi and wondered who this child would be taking after the most. Ayame was more like his mother(a Spartan woman when it comes to work and studies, but very caring inside, especially with Aoi, whom she treats like a sister), while Hachi was physically more like his father, except his eyes whom were brown.
-Daiki-san, what is the child's name?- She asked hoping that he would also add the kid's age. Maybe Madoka and him would be both three years old and grow up together.
-His name is Tsubasa.
Tenchi let out a laugh, "Tsubasa" was really a poetic name, and it couldn't have been chosen by Daiki.
-I know what you are thinking about…stop insulting me in your head…you jerk are absolutely right-Daiki gave up the idea of a backup or an argument, and that was quite surprising, as a journalist he should have continued.
-Yes, Kiyoshi choose the name, actually this child gives me the feeling that he doesn't like me at all and he's only three for God's sake! He's unexpectedly calm and only speaks to his mother, ignoring me most of the time. Even like that, he doesn't resemble his mother at all, physically speaking; he only got her hair colour and my eyes colour.
Tenchi looked at Daiki with a faint smile.
-Maybe you are not observing well, I'm sure he is taking after you two but you just don't notice it. All humans on Earth are different; they can't always fully look like their parents, both psychologically and physically. You can't really say that Hachi behave like Kiyoshi and You! You are telling me that Tsubasa-kun's hair colour is the same as Kiyoshi's and his eyes' colour as yours, he is still your son and maybe some marks of your characters will show up in him as dissimilar as he could be.
-You truly are my best friend Tenchi-kuuuuuun!
-The road Daiki! The road!
~End of the flashbaaaaack~
-Dad! Mom! Come Hiroshi! Dad's here for the break!
Hiroshi rushed to greet his parents, it has been four years since the last time they saw their mother and three months since they last saw their father. Tenchi, sometimes, was coming to Japan without his wife to check on the boys.
Aoi hugged her two sons, she was so glad to be finally able to see them and so proud of them to be able to take care of themselves. She made a promise to herself to come back again and stay with her children like more than three months. She was feeling as if she had failed as a mother for letting her children alone. She couldn't bring herself to let go of them and to stop the tears from falling down her cheeks. Kazehaya glanced over his mother's shoulder just to see the timid little girl standing at the doorstep, too shy to enter the house. Then, he gave her a warm smile and made a gesture telling her to come. Madoka blinked a few times before approaching the group. Aoi wiped away the last tears before opening her mouth:
-Mado-chan, let me introduce you to Kazehaya and Hiroshi. I often talked about them, remember?
Madoka stared at her parents then at the young boys, she smiled.
-Yes! Mommy told Madoka-chan that at home there are big brothers!
Kazehaya looked at his little sister and let out a chuckle.
-What about a group hug Mado-chan? You can call me Kaze-nii and Hiroshi, Hiro-nii!
Aoi was relieved to see that as much as Tenchi was. Kazehaya and Hiroshi will surely be able to take good care of their new little sister.
Tenchi, looked at Daiki who was still here watching the sweet reunion scene. He noticed Tenchi's stare and smiled. Then, he got an idea" What about you all come to my place for din-
-Otousan, Okasan told Tsu-chan to come here with Ayame-niisan and give Otousan his wallet.
Daiki looked down at his interlocuter with everyone's gaze following his. At the door was standing an eleven years-old boy with mid-long honey hair held in a low ponytail and grey eyes with bad boy features. He was wearing a simple blue tee-shirt and shorts. Next to him was a small three years-old child with a tanned skin. He had silver-like hair held by a tiny rubber since they were cut short and, golden eyes. He wasn't showing any kind of particular emotions, just a simple, normal smile, and that while addressing his father. Your average baby kid would get all excited just at the idea of an occasion to play with his beloved parents.
-See Tenchi! I told you! We look nothing alike! Huh…Thanks a lot Tsu-chan.
Tsubasa simply replied with a smile and a nod. However, at his brother's and father's surprise he asked:
-Who are these people Otousan?
Daiki stayed silent a moment before answering his son with a large grin:
-These people are Daddy's and Mommy's best friends! As for this little cutie, she's their daughter!~
Kazehaya was carrying his little sister, he somehow sensed an overprotective feeling toward her, that was strange since he only got to know her just a while ago.
-You know son, she's your age. You could quickly become best friends-Then Daiki looked at Tenchi with a smirk and added with a mocking voice-and maybe she'll be your wife when you grow up.
Tenchi didn't take long before replying to Daiki:
-Like hell she will! As much as your son looks more educated than you do and more grown up, I will never hand over my precious baby! She is mine and mine alone!
Aoi, on the other hand, could already picture that happening. The silver haired child approached the little girl who just continued to shyly stare at him.
-Nice to meet you, I'm Tsubasa.-He smiled.
-N-nice to meet you too, I'm Madoka.
A/N: So, what did you think about it? Just let me know! Thank you so much for taking your time to read my lame writing!
For the names/
Aoi means "blue" like her eyes
Daiki means "great hope" depending on the kanji (correct me if I'm wrong)that is because he always had great ambitions
Kazehaya means "refreshing wind", it's because he's somehow like it XD
Tenchi means "Angel" it contrasts his looks and also because he's really protective of his daughter.
Ayame means "Iris" the flower, it's nothing alike his character, the reason why I choose this name!
Hachi means "Eight", that's because he's actually born 08/08 (silly duh XD)
Hiroshi means "generous", the reason is obvious XD
Kiyoshi means "bright, shining", maybe you'll understand why later!
