A week and four days later-

Kylie Shinahara held her baby sister in her arms for the first time as she stared down her dad with a dark look on her face. She had been entertaining the idea of killing him and helping her mother raise Honoka on her own but somehow that seemed a bit much.

Especially since Honoka had every right to know her father when she got older. But that didn't mean that she was going to let the irresponsible man raise her little sister. At least not until Honoka turned fifteen and she was ready to hand her over to him.

No. She'd raise the baby with her mother and Honoka would be her little girl. "Is something wrong pumpkin?" Her dad asked as he paused at the bottom porch step with the baby bag slung over one shoulder as she glared at him.

It was on the tip of her tongue to growl out, Hell yes. Something was wrong.

But decided against it. Instead she'd settle this matter a different way. By proving that he was a totally senseless person and shouldn't be in contact with Honoka unless she or her mother weren't around. "Dunno. Let me ask you a question and we'll go from there-" She muttered as she thought for a second and then came up with the perfect question. It related to one of her past experiences with her father. "Okay. Lets say that Honoka has just learned to escape her play pin and has found something and put it in her mouth and starts choking, what would you do?"

"I would do the heimlich maneuver and save her lif-" Kylie's foot connected with her father's face before she even realised what she had done and sent the poor man sprawling backwards onto the ground. She muttered an oath under her breath then yelled.

"Wrong! You can't do something like that with a baby or toddler! You'd break their ribs and kill them if you weren't careful!" She recalled the incident she was drawing on from her childhood.

It was the first time she'd ever come so close to dying. And if it hadn't have been for her older brother Kenichi, she might have actually died that day. But instead of dying she had merely suffered two broken ribs and a sore throat.

Not bad for someone whod almost been crushed to death by her frantic father. And while she couldn't blame the man for how he had reacted to her choking, she couldn't exactly let it go either.

As the saying goes, History often repeats itself.

Her dad picked himself up off of the ground and threw the baby bag at her. Missing by a mile but he threw it at her while she was holding Honoka, fueling her temper further. She let out a loud furious sounding scream and shifted her hold on her baby sister and attacked, driving her dad back down to the ground where she wrapped her legs around his neck and tried to choke him.

Her mother walked out of the house and found them yelling and swearing at each other while she choked her dad and promptly took Honoka from her and looked her over, noting that her new daughter didn't have either a scratch or speck of dirt on her little onesy before she bothered speaking to the duo currently rolling around in the dirt. "Stop that. You're setting a bad example for the baby."

The two seperated automatically and looked at her with expressions that ranged from guilty to pissed as they got up and dusted themselves off and turned to each other and did what they usually did when they fought. They shook hands.

Or rather they started to shake hands while they leaned in close and threatened each other before Kylie finally got pissed enough to crush her dad's hand in her grip. Causing the man to jump and yelp several times before she let him go and walked over to the porch and used the heel of her foot to draw a line in the dirty then growled, "From today on, I'm both Honoka's father and her sister!"

Her dad looked at her with a sullen expression on his face before asking, "And just who am I then if I'm not her father?"

"You're going to be the weird uncle that lives with us and does strange things." Kylie deadpanned with an amused smirk on her face as her father's jaw dropped, before walking up the steps and taking the baby from her mother and then went inside.

Where she fixed the baby in a harness so that she wouldn't have to worry about dropping her and then fixed a little bag and walked back outside and kissed her mom on the cheek and said, "I'm going for a walk with Honoka. We'll be back in a little while."

"Don't stay out past six, Kylie. I want you home so that we can have dinner with Honoka together." Kylie waved at her mom and dad over her shoulder and walked out of the yard intending to have a nice walk around the neighborhood while trying to bond with her baby sister.
