Shizuru, Natsuki, Carley and Leah were in the car driving back to the house as Shizuru saw Leah and Carley sleeping in the back. Natsuki's been driving for about a half an hour and yet Leah and Carley are already knocked out.
'I guess being in that orphanage for so long made them exhausted,' Shizuru thought watching the young girls sleep during the trip back to Shizuru's and Natsuki's house, "I wonder who they'll like our house, Natsuki?"
"I dunno. They'll probably like it," Natsuki said shrugging, "I wonder what other people are gonna say when they see we adopted two kids?"
"I don't know. But let them talk. I don't care if they talk about us or not," Shizuru said laying her head on Natsuki's shoulder as the brunette continued to drive, "Wake me up when we get there."
"Hey! I thought you were gonna drive in about an hour!" But it was too late Shizuru was already asleep. "......Kuso!"

An hour later, Natsuki finally made it to the house who tiredly yawned.
"Man, I'm tired. I guess I should wake up Shizuru," She muttered softly shaking Shizuru, "Hey, Shizuru, we're here."
Shizuru didn't move at all as she stirred in her sleep who said, "Natsuki, no. I don't want you to use the mayo on me."
Natsuki sweatdropped and sighed. "I guess I'm gonna have to carry everyone in the house." She said walking out of the car door, opening the door on Shizuru's side of the car, and picking her up by the threshold and walking her in the house.
When Natsuki was done with that, she went to bring in Leah and Carley as she placed Carley on her back and Leah under her arm. Placing Leah in one of the empty rooms along with Carley in a different one as Natsuki sighed and went downstairs to see if Shizuru was up or not.
Shizuru is awake who rubbed her eyes and yawned tiredly.
"I see you're awake now," Natsuki said.
"Yes, I was just tired from the ride that's all," Shizuru said.
"You? I was the one driving for two hours from the orphanage," Natsuki said sitting beside Shizuru on the couch. "I wonder how Leah and Carley react when the see where they are?"
"They'll like it. Why? Are you worried?" Shizuru teased fiddling with her girlfriend's shirt.
"No. I'm just concerned that one of them will think we kidnapped them somewhere."
Shizuru lightly laughed. "Isn't that sweet. We only had them for two hours and Natsuki cares about them."
Natsuki ignored that as she suddenly asked Shizuru, "Do you think will be good parents to them?"
"Hm? Of course. Why do you think that, Natsuki?"
"......Well, it's because......."
Natsuki didn't have to say anything for Shizuru to understand as she hugged her tightly with her arms around her waist. "Don't worry. You'll do fine. Natsuki's not alone anymore so I'll help you if Natsuki needs help with the kids."
"Really?"
Shizuru nodded her head. "Yes. Natsuki doesn't have to be afraid anymore."
Natsuki smiled and hugged Shizuru closer to her chest. After the death of her mother, she swore she would never trust anyone again. But when Shizuru came into her life along with friends who care about her, she had a reason to live and to fight for what's precious to her.

The next morning, Carley was the first person to wake up who found herself in a different room. It was medium sized with a desk, a computer, a closet, and a TV. Carley rubbed her eyes wondering where she was until she remembered about Shizuru and Natsuki picking Leah and her up from the orphanage. Carley got up out of her bed and walked to the closet where she opened it and saw a whole rack of clothes. Her eyes widened at the sight of how many their were as she pulled out a Gaara T-Shirt out and tried it on along with a pair of black pants which fit her perfectly.
Carley smiled at the shirt as she wondered where Leah was who ran out of her room and yelled, "Leah! Leah, where are you?!" But didn't hear or see Leah upstairs. So, she decided to check downstairs as the red-head quickly ran down the steps to find her friend who suddenly heard someone say.....
"Ara, ara. Why are you in such a rush, Carley?" Making Carley turn around to see Shizuru smiling who wore nothing but a dark purple robe that covered the woman's body, "Good Morning."
"Uh, G-Good Morning. I was wondering where my friend Leah was?" Carley shyly wondered as Shizuru made a cup of tea.
"Hmm? I think I saw Natsuki trying to catch her in the back yard."
"Oh. Thank you," Carley bowed and ran outside as Shizuru lightly laughed at how Carley was.
'I wonder how Natsuki's doing trying to get Leah to calm down,' The crimson eyed woman wondered sipping her tea.
Outside
"Leah, get back here!"
"No!"
"Get back here and put your pants on!"
"Never!"
Carley ran outside to see Leah running away from Natsuki who had a pair of pants in her hands. Leah wore a black Naruto T-Shirt with a pair of goggles and a pair of black underwear running from Natsuki.
"Uh, Leah?" Carley said making Leah stop running and look where she heard her name being called who saw her friend Carley.
"Oh, hey, Carley." Leah said before getting tackled to the ground by Natsuki who grabbed her by the legs and put her pants on before Leah was able to run away again, "Aww!"
"I'm sorry, but you can't just run around like that in nothing but your underwear. What will the neighbors think?" Natsuki said.
"But this is the first time I could walk around in my underwear without someone yelling at me. Shizuru didn't mind," Leah said zipping fly up.
"I'm still wondering why myself. Anyway, you can do that when you're inside, but not outside, okay, Leah?"
"Oh, okay. Anyway, Carley, what's up? I heard you calling me from outside. Is everything okay?" Leah wondered walking up to Carley.
"Yeah. I was just wondering where you were because I didn't know where to find you in such a big house," Carley said
"Sorry. I didn't mean to worry about you like that. I thought you were gonna sleep in more because you seemed more tired than I was when I saw that you were still sleeping in the room Natsuki put you in," Leah said scratching her left cheek with a smile on her face.
"It's okay. Just don't worry me like that again, okay?"
"Okay. Hug?"
"Hug." Carley gives Leah a hug as Natsuki stood up and brushed herself off.
"Well, now that that's settled, let's go inside and get something to eat," Natsuki said as the young girls nodded and walked into the house where they saw a lot of breakfast food spread on the table.
"Whoa! That's a lot of food!" Leah gasped in amazement.
"I made bigger breakfasts' when Mikoto and Mai were here for three days," Shizuru said as everyone sat down around the table and ate.
During the time it was quiet because Leah and Carley didn't know how to start a conversation very well. But luckily Shizuru was able to tell a few stories about her and Natsuki during the time they were going to Garderobe High School which made the both of them laugh and open up a little as Carley told a few stories about when Leah tried to do a stunt preformed on Jackass called the Human Bicycle which made Natsuki and Shizuru laugh at what happened afterwards.
They continued to talk for thirty minutes until everyone was done eating as Leah and Carley were laying in the front room with full stomachs as the both of them groaned from eating too much.
"I see you guys are full," Shizuru said lightly placing her foot on Carley's stomach.
"Yeah. We've never had breakfast like that at the orphanage," Carley said.
"I can tell by how you guys are laying on the ground."
Carley smiled as Leah was quiet for a while not looking at Shizuru who noticed. She knelt down to Carley's eye level and whispered, "Is Leah okay? She seems to be avoiding me looking at her."
"Oh, she's really shy around people she's not comfortable with. But don't worry. She'll grow out of it," Carley whispered back to Shizuru who watched Leah play with their wolf Duran.
"She's shy, huh?"
"Yeah. I'm the only one she can talk to along with trust because of the kids picking on us a lot growing up in the orphanage. And I think because of that, she began to shut herself from other people."
"I see.....But what about when Natsuki was chasing her outside. She wasn't shy then."
Carley shrugged. "She has her moments of not being shy. Just like mine sometimes."
Shizuru nodded and saw Leah still playing with Duran.

Late that night, Natsuki, and Shizuru were up talking amongst themselves. Natsuki was laying on Shizuru's chest lightly tracing lines on her chest with her finger as Shizuru said suddenly, "You did good."
"Huh?"
"You did good. About talking to Leah and Carley when they wanted to play a game," Shizuru said.
"Oh, yeah. I guess I did do an okay job talking to Leah and Carley today, huh?" Natsuki said lightly scratching the back of her head.
"They both remind me of you when I first met you," Shizuru said stroking Natsuki's hair.
"It's not that obvious," Natsuki muttered not looking at Shizuru.
"It is to me. Leah tries to hide the things she likes and is afraid people will think of her as something else while Carley tries not to let what she says bother her when I teased her a bit during dinner," Shizuru said, "So, it is obvious." Natsuki lightly grumbled as Shizuru laughed at the face her girlfriend made and snuggled her head against Natsuki's stomach with a smile on her face.
"I guess they kinda take after you even though they're adopted," Shizuru giggled, "So, what are you gonna do with them tomorrow."
"I dunno. Probably go to the park if they want or to the arcade or something."
Shizuru smiled hearing that from her lover. "That's good to hear, my Natsuki."
Natsuki's face light turned red. "Why must you push my buttons?"
"Because I love you."
