Summary:

Chapter 1: Where to Next?
"Finally, it's summer break!" Kagura stretched her arms in the air. "Does the theatre group have any roles for Dad to play over the next three months?"
"No," Kanna whispered.
"You shouldn't mention it though." Hakudoshi took a seat at the table, pulling close his bowl of rice, yet chewing on some strands of his lavender hair. "Mmm..."
"Why are you doing that?" Kagura questioned.
Hakudoshi didn't answer. He just continued mumbling. "Ko…ha…ku…"
"Right!" Kagura laughed, munching on her kobachi.
Naraku entered the room, hair messy and voice low as always. "What'd I miss?"
"Not much. We were just talking about your dead-end job with that terrible theatre group," Kanna said while walking away.
Naraku narrowed his eyes, glaring at Kagura and Hakudoshi. No ire for his honest daughter.
"Don't look at me! It was Kagura who first brought it up!" Hakudoshi raised chopsticks to his defence.
"Kagura, do you really want me to punish you?" Naraku asked, his mood worsening.
"What's the worst you can do? You've taken most of my privileges anyway!" Kagura shot back.
"Oh, I can do much worse!" Naraku cackled. "You're going to –"
"Uh oh!" Hakudoshi ducked under the table.
"Help me find a summer job!"
Kagura nearly choked, already two-thirds through the front door. "No way! I'm out of here!"
Naraku did not attempt to stop her. Instead, he beckoned Hakudoshi from under the table. "Come help me find a summer job, Hakudoshi. I'll raise your allowance."
"Are you kidding?" Hakudoshi rolled on the ground. "I want you to pay the bill for my date Saturday night, Dad!"
"Date?" Naraku decided to ask questions later. "All right! All right! I'll pay the bill!"
"Excellent!" Hakudoshi crooned maniacally, flipping through the day's paper. "We'll start with something simple! Then work our way up from there!"
"I shouldn't have agreed to this…" Naraku slapped himself upside the head.
"Agreed to?" Hakudoshi could barely contain another laugh. "You asked!"
