Amagi poked her head from out of the doorframe, peeking into the room. It was almost dark but she could see the various pieces of furniture, most prominent being a four seat table along with counters and shelves lining the walls. The kitsune Scanning the aforementioned shelves, glossing over the sink and refrigerator, squinting from the dim light in the kitchen.

But then her eyes went wide at the sight of what she was looking for, a jar perched on top of a cupboard. Inside of it were round, brightly colored sweets skewered with a thin stick. Homemade Dangos, delicious enough to make her mouth water just from the sight of alone...

"Alright, Nice and slow..." She murmured under her breath, tiptoeing into the room. "Mama is napping, I don't wanna wake her up..."

Tentatively she grabbed one of the chairs surrounding the table, quietly dragging it towards the cupboard. Her small stature meant that she needed a boost to reach the sweets. So much so that when she climbed onto the chair and reached up for the glass container, the tips of her fingers barely brushed against it.

"C-c'mon..." the little fox whispered, standing up on her tippy toes, trying her hardest to grab the jar even as her legs began to shake. She groaned in frustration, her body stretching to its limits as she stepped towards the edge, causing the chair to creak uncontrollably. So focused on her task that she didn't notice a familiar set of footfalls nearing the kitchen.

"Almost there..." She went on, the sweets almost in her grasp and the furniture beneath supporting her weight rocking more. "Just a little mor- Ahh?!"

She was interrupted when the chair finally gave way, sending her tumbling to the floor.

"Aaaaaeeeeeeeeeee!" The little fox braced for impact, clenching her eyes shut.

"Woah there!"

But it never came…

Instead she found herself suspended in the air, a pair of gentle hands holding onto her securely. She opened her eyes to find herself being picked up by a man in a naval uniform, beaming brightly at her.

"Hey there, little cub." He said with a chuckle. " You gave me quite a scare back there."

"Papa!" She exclaimed happily, almost jumping into his arms, hugging him tightly. "You're home!"

"Yeah, yeah…" He replied, softly rubbing her back. "Work got really cluttered at the office today, so it took a while. But more importantly…"

The Commander pulled back to look her in the eyes, the expression on his face more stern. "What are you doing here Amagi-chan?"

"Umm..." She trailed off, looking down sheepishly. "Mama was tired and you were gone too long. I just wanted to eat a Dango... So I thought I'd just get them myself"

"Oh, Little Cub..." Her Father went on, setting her down on her feet and patting her head with a sympathetic smile. "You shouldn't overextend yourself like that, you could've seriously hurt yourself there."

"You're not mad at me?"

"Well, as long as you promise me you won't do something that reckless again. I guess I can overlook this." He said, pinching her soft cheek and eliciting a pout from the small kitsune, followed up by a whine.

"Besides..." He trailed off, reaching up to grab the Jar of sweets on the top shelf. "Your mother told me about your grades at the academy. I believe you deserve a Dango...or maybe even two..."

"Really papa!" She exclaimed immediately, perking by, beaming up at him brightly.

"Sure Kiddo!" The Commander wrenched the jar open, taking out two of the colorful sweets before kneeling down to her level, presenting them to her. "Knock yourself out."

"I love you Papa!" Amagi-chan all but tackling him with a brief hug, proceeding to snatch her Dangos out of his hands before happily skipping out of the room. In such a rush that she didn't notice someone else about to enter the Room.

"You're gonna spoil her if you keep doing this, dear..."

The Commander turned towards the source of that sweet voice. He saw her here leaning with her back against the doorframe, lips curled into a coy smile. She was adored in the red and white clothing of the Sakura Empire, the fabric strained against her sizable bust. Her fox-like ears stood at attention and long, nine tails gently swaying as she sauntered towards him.

"I'd say she deserved it, since she's not the only one I like to spoil" was his reply as he tilted his hat down to cover his eyes. "Though, I gotta wonder if you're getting a bit jealous, eh?"

"Hehe, I think you misunderstood me, Anata." She went on stopping behind him. "I'm just a bit concerned she might try something like this again, considering that you give her more Dangos than usual, especially after dinner."

"Perhaps…" He mused, looking back at his wife from the corner of his eyes "But our daughter is very well behaved, she'll understand after what happened today. Besides, I feel like I need to compensate for not being able to spend time with her because of work..."

"Then what about me…?" Amagi asked guilelessly, though the small smirk on her pretty face widening, becoming more... seductive.

"Won't you spend more time with me, Anata? The Fox woman cooed, wrapping her arms around him from behind, large, clothed breasts pressed on his back and her hot breath fluttering against his ear. "I even had the hot spring prepared for a nice, warm and very long bath…along with some exotic delicacies we eat while you can… indulge me…"

"Won't you indulge me, Anata...? Without you here I feel so empty..." She purred. "Won't you fill me again?"

The Commander tensed up, a shudder creeping up his spine and spreading warmth to his cheeks. Though he tried to keep his composure, even when he could feel her hardened nipples poking against his back through the thin clothing. "My my, quite a temptress you are Amagi. Perhaps you're one of those "vixens" my sister-in-law used to warn me about?"

"Hehe, maybe I am…" The kitsune giggled, deliberately rubbing herself against his back. "What are you going to do about it-ohhh!"

Amagi was caught off guard when he abruptly turned around, wrestling free from her grasp and wrapping one arm around her upper back. The other held on the underside of her long legs, effectively picking his wife in a bridal carry.

"Well, I'm gonna be taking you to the hot springs..." He trailed off, smiling down at her astonished face. "and employ some "disciplinary actions" on you for a long, long while…"

"My, my… it seems that I'm completely at your mercy…" She answered, locking her hands around the back of his head. "Whatever shall I doo hehehe"

She giggled insatiably as he whisked her away. More delightful sounds echoing in the small house soon afterwards. The cacophony lasted the late evening and even into the long winter night…

As it had happened several years ago.
