Part 4-Reminiscing the past II

Tetsuya was happily eating his breakfast when suddenly Chihiro and Shougo appeared at the kitchen, panting heavily as if they both were racing to get there. A smile curved on Tetsuya's face as he saw the both of them. Chihiro smiled as he saw Tetsuya and flinched as he saw both smiling faces of his mother and aunt. Shougo was pretty much ignores the stare and slowly sat beside Tetsuya.

"Morning, Tetsuya." Shougo greeted as he patted Tetsuya's head gently.

"Un..." Tetsuya replied, still chewing on his food slowly.

"You guys are up!" Cheered Saya.

"Morning, mom, Aunt Miko." He greeted them.

"Morning mother, Aunt Saya."

"Morning boys!" The both of them cheered happily.

"Want to have red beans rice for breakfast?" Miko asked.

The whole kitchen went silent as both Shougo and Chihiro was stunned, both were staring back and forth towards the smiling Miko and Saya. Tetsuya being oblivious of the situation, keep on chewing his food slowly and took a sip of water occasionally.

"W-why?" Asked Chihiro.

"Oh, dear...you guys know why..." Saya stated and smiled.

"I can already imagine the wedding!" Cheered Miko.

"We-wedding?!" Both Shougo and Chihiro shouted.

"Wedding?" Tetsuya asked in which had startled both Shougo and Chihiro.

"Tetsuya, shouldn't you go and play with Taiga?" Asked Chihiro.

"Umm..." He stared at the smiling Chihiro and his mother then towards Shougo and his aunt. "Okay...Himuro-nii is there too! I'll go!" Tetsuya cheered as he quickly get off of his chair and started leave the kitchen.

"Be careful, Tetsuya!" Miko reminded him.

"Okay, mama!"

As Tetsuya had already gone, both Shougo and Chihiro started to gulp in fear, knowing how scary both their mother could be. Chihiro sighed as he slowly walks towards Shougo and sat beside him.

"So..." Miko urged.

"We are still young, mother." Chihiro stated the obvious.

"For a yokai, yes but both of you are already ready for it." Saya said and smiled.

"30 years..." Shougo stated as he comb his hair through with his fingers.

"What?" Chihiro asked, puzzled by Shougo's words.

"Shougo?" Asked Saya.

"I'll officially proposed in 30 more years." Shougo stated seriously.

Chihiro was blushing furiously as he tries to hide his face with his bangs only to be pulled closer towards Shougo who was smiling. Shougo tilted his chin, gazing towards his lover's blushing face, embarrassed by the statement.

"I knew it!" Saya exclaimed cheerfully.

"Ouh, I can't wait for it to actually happen!" Miko stated.

"We should tell Tetsuo and Youji." Saya stated, extremely happy with it.

"We should!" Miko agreed.

"Mom!/Mother!" Both Shougo and Chihiro exclaimed.

"Taiga! Himuro-nii!" Tetsuya shouted excitedly.

"Yo, Tetsuya!" Said Taiga.

"Tetsuya-kun." Himuro said with a smile.

"Hurm? What are you doing?" Asked Tetsuya as he saw the both of them were fighting over a ball just before they stopped and greeted him.

"It's a basketball!" Taiga cheered enthusiastically.

"Ehhh..." Sparkles started to appears from Tetsuya's eyes.

Himuro started to chuckle as he saw the both of them. Tetsuya walks closer to them and started to stare at the ball my by some kind of elastic wood (sorry but i don't know how to describe it) and started to ask Taiga to hold on it, which he complied. Himuro walks closer to the both of them and patted their head lightly and smiled.

"Want to play together?" He invited.

"Yes!/Yay!" Shouted both Tetsuya and Taiga happily.

The both boys were huffing and panting hard as they were sweating. Tired, Tetsuya laid on the grass, closing his eyes slowly.

"Tetsuya, don't fall asleep..." Taiga stated as he too had already fallen on his back, joining Tetsuya on the grassy land.

"Sleepy...tired..." Tetsuya mumbled tiredly which earned him a chuckle from Himuro.

"Come on, let's enter the house and have some refreshments." He invited.

Taiga stand up quickly, while Tetsuya was slowly, trying to stand without wobbling. Taiga smirk at Tetsuya and decided to help him to stand up. Himuro only smiled at how the both of them interact with each other.

"You got no stamina at all, Tetsuya..." Taiga stated.

"No I'm not!" He pouted.

Himuro just chuckled as he was already prepared the snacks, waiting for the both of the young foxes to arrived at the verandah.

"Come on, you two. The watermelon would not be cold anymore." He stated in which made their ears to flinch.

"Okay!" Both Taiga and Tetsuya shouted and Taiga decided to lift Tetsuya like a sack of potatoes over his shoulder.

"I can walk!" Tetsuya pouted.

"Nope, the watermelon won't be cold anymore." Taiga stated the obvious.

Tetsuo was watching over his son, playing with their neighbour's sons with such a pained and sad expression over his face. Miko walked over to him with a gentle smile on her face, knowing exactly what her husband was thinking about.

"Chihiro and Shougo..." She stated, waking him out of his train of thoughts.

"What's wrong with them?" He asked.

"Shougo asked a hand in marriage for Chihiro...in another 30 years." She added.

"I see..." A small smile curved on his face. "It's about time." He added.

"About Tetsuya..." She trailed on in which made him to frown.

"..." A deep sigh leave his mouth. "I don't wish for it to happen." He stated.

"I know...but...it is inevitable..." She stated as she wrapped her arm around him. "I hope that he'll be alright"

"It is for his safety...we must lead him away...from the village." He said.
