Outing

"Daisuki oni-san!" Koru yelled.

Daisuke didn't know what to think of this whole situation. It was nice to have visitors and such, especially when they were family…but they've never had a little kid in the house. Well, grandpa was something similar but still…

/Maybe Riku will like Koru/ he thought.

Daisuke was supposed to meet up with Riku today and take a walk around the park. She was going to show him all her recent drawings and ask for his opinion, since it was him who inspired her to keep on drawing. Daisuke was suddenly happy. He had a kawaii little cousin waiting for him when he got home and he had Riku waiting for him to meet up with her.

"Dai-chan.." started Emiko

"Nani, Kaasan?"

"We're going to go out for a while, please take care of Koru for us"

"E-EH! But isn't grandpa staying here? And Towa-chan?"

"Iie, grandpa's coming with us and Towa-chan's taking the day off."

"….."

"Is there anything wrong Dai-chan?"

"No, it's just that…"

Emiko seemed to get the hint. "Ohh Dai-chan don't worry, I'm sure your sacred maiden will love Koru!" she smiled and started walking off.

Daisuke remained at the spot, blushing. Why was it, or rather, how was it that his mom always knew whenever Riku or Risa were involved? Must be some sort of psychic mom power or something. He watched the three exit the house and sighed. His small cousin was still holding on to one of his hands, smiling.

He hadn't expected to be left with his little cousin on the first day. Especially only a few minutes after they had arrived. He was not too sure how he was with little kids but, somehow he was going to handle it.

"Koru-chan, are you hungry?" he asked, smiling. Koru looked at him for a little with her big green eyes while trying to figure out if what he said was what she thought it was. Daisuke remembered that Koru was still learning Japanese since she lived in America and all her friends spoke English. Koru suddenly let go of his hand and placed her index finger on her nose and looked at him.

"Hmmmmm…..h-ai" she said before giggling.

Daisuke smiled and grabbed onto her small hand again, taking her to the kitchen.

She must understand most things you say…unless she's stupid

/Dark/

What? I mean, Okime talks to her in Japanese doesn't she? So she must know the basic stuff

/I'm not too sure/

Ha! I feel sorry for you, good thing I'm not in your situation!

/…--…/

Daisuke knew well that Dark was enjoying the whole scene. Watching him trying to make Koru listen and understand what he was saying was certainly some form of amusement to him. But no, Koru did know some Japanese so the situation wasn't that bad. Thankfully…

"Ramen" she said

Daisuke was brought back from his thoughts. Ramen? She wanted Ramen? Okay, he had Ramen. Good thing it was one of his mom's favorite foods or else he wouldn't have a whole cabinet full of it. Sometimes going shopping for the day's dinner was actually going shopping for a lifetime's supply of food. He gave Koru the Ramen and watched her eat it happily. She knew how to use chop sticks so that was good. Perhaps she wasn't as inexperienced as they made her seem.

Daisuke was a bit hungry himself, but he was more in the mood for some fruit. Just a quick snack. He opened the fridge and grabbed the first thing he saw, which was a box full of strawberries. He placed it on the kitchen's counter and went to get himself a plate. He opened the box and placed a couple of strawberries on his plate. There was something missing though. Of course. Daisuke shook his head and went back to the fridge to take out the whipped cream.

Koru suddenly laughed, making Daisuke turn towards her to see if everything was okay. She was sitting down, with the chopsticks on her hand and she was watching his plate. He looked at the direction she was looking at and saw his plate…his empty plate.

"Wha?"

He headed to it and saw that it was indeed empty and not only the plate, but the entire box. Koru laughed again.

"Kawaii…"

Daisuke turned towards her and noticed a white fluff being petted by her. So that was it. Wizu.

"Aahh mou! Wizu, I actually wanted to eat some of those! You could've left me at least one."

Wizu turned towards the disappointed Daisuke and looked at him with those huge red eyeballs. Daisuke sighed. It was time to go anyway.

"Daisuki oni-chan, doko iku no?"

"We have to meet up with one of my friends and you're coming along"

It seemed like the mere idea of going out made Koru all excited. She jumped off the chair and ran towards the door. Daisuke laughed slightly at the childness of Koru and walked towards the door.

"Wizu, take care of the house. We'll be back in a while"

With a 'Kyuu' as a response, Daisuke and Koru headed out.
