This idea just popped into my head. It's a Father's Day dedication (to all fathers and my dad!)

Sorry for the format the edit system on the site is stupid.

BTW this is in different POVs

--Lord Gohda--

Gohda Matsunoshin was meditating in a dojo.It was nice to not worry about the land or anything. There was no one attacking his territory,no kipnapped officals, no teasons. It was all nice an quiet today.

"Father, father!"

Then Kiku arrived.

He pretended that he didn't hear the 12 year-old and sat still. He could mentally see Kiku standing with her hands on her hips (a habit she got from Ayame) and pouting.

"Father..." She whined," You promised you would try my cooking remember?"

The young lord whinced. THAT is what he forgot to do. He tried to block out the memory of what had happened to Ayame when she had tried the princess's cooking. She'd been sick with food poisining for two weeks. Of course, the kunoichi had lied and told her that she caught the flu during a mission; but even HE knew better than that.

Lord Gohda got up and walked to the dining room to suffer his fate. While he was walking, images of sickness had entered his mind and his body was screaming for him to run away; but his mind and heart refused, demanding that he make his little girl happy.

His mind won.

A servant bowed and opened the shoji for the lord and his daughter, showing a table with breakfast food two seats. Once the pair sat down Kiku's dark brown eyes dropped to her lap.

"What's the matter Kiku-chan?" Lord Gohda asked.

"Well...father. I um...I didn't really make this. I asked Ayame to come in early to help me, since the last time I tried to cook, it didn't turn out so well," the young girl admitted sheepishly. Her father laughed.

"Kiku, the fact that you made the effort to make breakfast is good enough for me," Gohda said hugging his daughter," as long as you try I will always be proud of you and will always love you, no matter what."

Kiku smiled, "Even if I fail."

"Even if you fail, Kiku-chan."

"Even if I told you that a Samurai was oggling me?"

"Even if- WHAT?"

Kiku giggled, "just kidding. Besides Rikimaru-san would kill him before he turned to run."

"Not before I would," Lord Gohda growled.

"Let's eat!" Exclaimed Kiku. But neither of them noticed a shadow in the corner of the room smiling.

End Chapter.

(I'm sure that Kiku would have to know basic wife things before she got married. Hence she knows how to cook.)
