Impish teal eyes peered around the corner. Quickly scanning the area, the eyes disappeared for a moment...and then a blur streaked across the narrow hallway. Feet slid silently on the wooden
floors as the blonde figure slinked against the wall to a dark door at the end.
"Quiet," she thought to herself as she eased open the door and crept inside. Slowly she turned the handle to noiselessly close the door back so the light would not disturb the sleeping figure. Easily
she prowled closer to the bed, calculating the slumberer's even breaths. Upon reaching the edge of the bed, the blonde grinned to herself. "Waaaay to easy," she thought as she jumped on the
sleeping figure.
"AAAAAUGGGH!"
Haruka giggled over her cereal bowl. Her eyes were bright with pride at her morning hunt. Glancing sideways, she grinned triumphantly for the millionth time and got a sulky glare in return.
"Haruka, quit gloating over your father!" her mother's voice gently admonished her, though her eyes were also twinkling in amusement. "Let the poor man eat in peace."
"Yes, mama,"Haruka said after smiling at her dad.
"Brat," he mumbled gruffly before sticking his tongue out at her.
The seven year old returned to her breakfast after smirking once again. She didn't need to say anything because-
"Ryu! Behave! You're nearly as bad as your daughter!" Mizuki playfully swatted at her husband.
Ryu grinned boyishly. "My dear, she is your spawn! All she does is due to your genes. I merely respond in kind to defend myself against you two women."
"My spawn, indeed!" Mizuki kissed her husband on the forehead. "I do believe you claim parenting her whenever she brings home awards from her P.E. class."
"Well, of course," he grinned rougishly," why wouldn't I take credit for passing along my amazing athletic abilities?"
"Oh, you...-" the older woman started to reprimand her husband when he leaned over and kissed her soundly. They stared lovingly at each other for several minutes afterwards.
Haruka, silent throughout the exchange, happily watched the love that was her family.
