Chapter 6

'This is hell… complete and utter hell…'

It was a new day for Yuuji, and yet it was the same old same old each morning. He's gotten such a Buddha belly on him now, he needs help getting up in the morning. Before, Suiryu was letting him sleep alone, but in the middle of the night now, when he can't turn over he starts to panic. His chirps wake up the whole residence, forcing Suiryu to return to his room and sleep in the nest bed that was made.

When he's up, Suiryu is quick to bathe him, get a fresh diaper on and dressed. But as of late, there was something off happening.

None of the onesies fit him anymore!

"Huh… You have to be growing, look, all these, are no longer useful to us!" Suiryu proclaimed as he pulled out all the baby clothing. It was stacked on Yuuji's normal bed, but the problem is what to dress him in now?!

'Great, I don't have to wear those anymore!' Yuuji thought happily. After all, he's tried of Gojo sensei taking pictures of him in such cute little outfits. Even Nobara and Mika get in on it, making him wear various articles for their amusement. He could always tell who bought what too. Fushiguro got him more normal looking baby clothing. Nobara and Mika the cute little onesies. Gojo… pretty much anything that appears out of the norm, but all the articles he bought had an animal on the butt flap of his pants.

"Well, if it can't be helped, we will have to take you shopping…" Suiryu then paused, counted down from five on his hands and then pointed to the door just as someone came knocking. He anticipated this!

'Damn, he's good," Yuuji thought. He opened the door to the room, Nobara was there and was smiling.

"Did someone say shopping?"

"She has hearing like… God, I got nothing to compare it to, but either way, yes, Yuuji outgrew ALL his baby clothing. He's got nothing…" He turned and then froze.

Yuuji jumped a little as he peered down and suddenly… was clothed! 'What the hell!?' he thought to himself and appeared utterly confused.

It was a two-piece set, and yet it was warm, comfortable and had a smell to them that was familiar to him. "Huh… well we got one outfit, but he needs more. Wanna come with? Bring Mika too if you want."

"I'll get my coat!"

'But aren't there classes today?' Yuuji thought.

"Ooo, I like this one! Mika?"

"I think it does bring out his eyes better, but also remember the color of clothing his brothers' wear, we don't want them to clash,"

Yuuji was even more board than before. He was lazily hanging out in Suiryu's arms as the ladies went shopping. He kept peering up and saw his brother staring at Nobara with such a loving look. "You think I still got a chance with her?" he whispered to him.

He paused. 'Are you asking me this since I can't talk!?' he demanded, but sighed aloud. He nodded his head.

Suiryu smirked. "I think so too, but I know not to push it, you told me that yourself. Funny, how you, of all people had such good advice on women…"

'Shut up' Yuuji chirped back.

It was soon time for the fashion show. Nobara and Mika took turns in having Yuuji try on the outfits they picked. Despite the fact they were no longer one piece articles, it bothered him that they were still cute little outfits with puppies and stuff on them. 'I'M NOT A BABY!' he chirped in protest.

"Aww, someone is getting fussy." Nobara cooed.

'Not fussy, just pissed off!'

"Perhaps he wants a more mature look?" Suiryu said offhandedly. "Despite the fact you can have him wear cute shit until he can dress himself, we got to remember… it's Yuuji and he's aware of what's going on." He said discreetly.

Nobara sighed in defeat. "FINE" she protested. "Mika, let's find more mature clothing for him."

As they went on their hunt once more, Yuuji was relieved. Yet by the end of the day, it was all cute outfits, nothing that would show his maturity let alone anything he would be willing to wear.

Mika was holding him as they made their way back to the school. Of course, Principal Yaga was waiting for them at the gate. "Hooky, really?!" he demanded of the two ladies.

They paused. "Oh shit, there was class today!" Nobara whispered.

"Uh, class was with me, right?" Suiryu asked with a grin on his face, he turned to Yaga and said. "I took these two ladies out for the day to show them the wonders of this cloth we have for Yuuji. It covers him up and no one knows the wiser that he's a baby dragon. Also, he outgrew all of his clothing and had nothing to wear. You want a pissed off fox spirit guardian demanding why he lacked proper clothing in cold weather?" he asked.

Yaga paused and sighed aloud. "Next time, you ask me!" he demanded of him. "You two should know better than to let him convince you to do something like this on school time!"

"To be fair…" Suiryu began to say.

"Enough out of you!" Yaga scolded. Suiryu merely shrugged his shoulders and kept his mouth shut, he was in the wrong here, but he also knew he was getting away with it.

That devious grin on his face said so…
