Naomasa perked up once the two returned, and sat down. He didn't question the beaming smile from Hizashi or the dark blush on Aizawa's face.
"Okay, little listener! how do you like the snacks?" Hizashi asked as he grinned at the little girl.
Kagome nodded her head as she nibbled on a strawberry, "It's okay."
The Detective smiled at the scene before looking to Aizawa, "So..Have you talk it over? What did you decide."
Aizawa looked over the messy-haired girl her blue eyes glancing up to his before looking away.
Blue eyes just like that man's He pressed his lips together trying to push down his dark thoughts and feelings, it wasn't her fault that she inherited that man's eyes. She has been through enough she doesn't need your misplaced anger too. He scolded himself before looking at Naomasa again.
"We've decided that we'll take care of her..."
Naomasa seemed to relax at those words as a soft smile spread across his face, "That's good..." He stood and dusted off his pant from cookie crumbs. Kagome's head whipping his way with wide eyes as she reached out for him. He caught sight of her out of the corner of his eye before turning to her and kneeling.
"Hey no need to worry, you'll be fine. These two will take good care of you." he comforted as she gripped his coat.
She didn't look very convinced.
Hizashi stood and also crouched next to her a hand going to rest on her hair, "Don't worry the kind detective is welcomed to visit if her wants and if he isn't too busy down at the station we could take you for a visit, maybe steal him away for lunch?" He comforted as he looked to Naomasa for an answer.
"That sounds lovely. So I'll see you again kid." Naomasa said as he ruffled her already messy hair. "Also call me Naomasa" He finished looking to the blond man who nodded.
"of course Naomasa, we'll see ya soon."
Kagome hesitated, but let go as she watched him stand again.
"Her bag is in I'm my car if you want to come with me to grab it," Naomasa said as he walked to the door, Aizawa stood to follow.
Kagome watched him how with a frown.
Hizashi saw this and smiled sadly at her, "Come on now how about you help me make an actual meal? I'm sure the snacks didn't hold you over too well!"
Before she could say anything her stomach grumbled, and she blushed as Hizashi's laugh.

As Aizawa followed the detective to his car he couldn't help but worry how this all was going to play out.
The two stopped at the car as the detective opened the back door and pulled out a small black bag that head the smell of smoke lingering on it.
"It isn't', much I'm afraid...This all that they were able to really salvage. Just so you know though while her home isn't really there anymore, the land still belongs to her. So if she asks about what is going to happen you can tell her that she doesn't have to worry about it being sold or anything."
Aizawa took the bag that was far too light with a frown.
"Are you sure about this?" Naomasa asked once more.
Aizawa rubbed at the back of his neck, "I don't know...but I guess I have to try...She's family isn't she?"
Naomasa smiled and placed a hand on Aizawa's shoulder, "You know having a little sister isn't so bad...usually...Take it from an older brother. Give it time and soon you would burn the world for her...or chase away suiters whichever happens first."
Aizawa grimaced not looking forward to being responsible for another person when he was barely taking care of himself...thank god for Hizashi...
Naomasa patted his shoulder once more before getting in the car and driving off. Aizawa watched as the man drove away after shattering his peaceful life. He turned to go back into his apartment somewhat dreading it...
Aizawa is so not sure about the whole brother thing, lol
But don't worry it'll grow on him...probably...
