Chapter 7: The Kuroko Family

After the two weeks were over the parents of the Kuroko family were home again. Natsumi, even though she missed Kagami, was very happy to have her parents with her again.

"Ne, mama can I help you cook again?" Natsumi looked at her mother with hopeful eyes. Kuroko Asami looked at her daughter with a smile.

The mother of the Kuroko siblings had straight, long, light brown hair and teal coloured eyes. Appearancewise, her children looked nothing like her but what both of them inherited was her lack of presence, not really the ideal thing she wanted to give her children but unfortunatly you are not able to choose what you give your children. Her personality was bubbly and very communicative which, when you looked closer at Natsumi, only her daughter got from her. Tetsuya, who was always stoic and calm, inherited these features completely from their father and their looks were his spitting image. Kuroko Kazuya, who was just as calm and stoic as her beloved son, never lost his composure , she's always trying to throw him off balance, then after some time she made it into a game for herself to keep herself amused.

"Of course you can, Natsumi-chan. Go and get your apron and I get a chair."

Natsumi beamed up at her and ran to get her apron. After her mother helped her to secure it on her body, she climed up the chair with the support of her mother.

After they were sure that nothing could happen, Asami gave Natsumi carrots and potatoes to peel. As she wanted to tell and show her what to do, Natsumi was already starting with the peeling.

"Ara, Natsumi-chan. How do you know so well what you should do?" Asami looked at her daughter, her eyes shining, full of pride.

Natsumi looked at her mother and gave her a brilliant smile.

"Mama, you know while you were away for the two weeks, Tetsu-nii and I lived with Taiga-nii because he said he couldn't leave us alone when neither of us could cook. So we lived with him and he was cooking for us everyday. You know mama, Taiga-nii is a really good cook and he let me help him sometimes, so we had much fun and he taught me many things and did you know, he lived in America until he came back and he told me how some things about America and Americans are sometimes really weird. We coloured and drew much together, too, it was really fun because Taiga-nii really can't draw but he would still draw with me even if he doesn't really like it. And…."

"Hahahaha…" Natsumi was interrupted by her mother´s light laughter. "It seems you really had fun at this Taiga-nii´s house." Natsumi only smiled and nodded at Asami.

She looked at Natsumi while thinking. "Ne, Natsumi-chan, can it be that this Taiga-nii is the Kagami-kun Tetsuya is always talking about?"

Natsumi nooded again. "Mhm~ Kagami Taiga. Why?" Natsumi looked puzzled at her Mother. Asami crouched down so she could be on eyelevel with her daughter.

"Ne, Natsumi-chan, did you see Tetsuya and Kagami-kun hug or something?", Asami asked her daughter with a sparkle in her eyes.

Natsumi put a finger on her chin to think. "Mhm~ Yes, once but Taiga-nii only had a nightmare and Tetsu-nii comforted him. And after that we all slept in the same bed."

Asami really had to force herself to calm down and not squeal out loud because with this she still didn't have proof. "Ne, Natsumi-chan, how did they hug or, more likely, how did Tetsuya 'comfort' Kagami-kun?"

"Well Tetsu-nii always sits besides me and hugs me when I'm scared but with Taiga-nii he sat on his lap and had his arms around his neck and I think he gave a kiss to Taiga-nii to make him feel better, but Tetsu-nii is kissing me on my forehead too when I'm afraid so I don't think there is any difference."

Natsumi wanted to say more but couldn't because of her mother hiding her mouth behind her hands but you could still hear a small squeal while she looked at Natsumi with really sparkly eyes.

"I knew it, I knew it." Asami picked Natsumi up and danced around the kitchen with her in her arms. "I'm so happy, my little boy is growing up. Even though it's sad that it's happaning so fast. Ne, ne, Natsumi-chan, is Tetsuya happy with Kagami-kun? I mean really happy?"

Natsumi doesn't know why her mother reacted as she did but nontheless was she happy and laughed together with her mother. After she heared the question, she gave her mother a radiating smile and nodded. "Uhn, he really is happy, the last time I saw Tetsu-nii that happy was two years ago."

Asami looked sad for a moment but brightened up again. "That's really good to hear. So let's continue cooking, I bet the men are going to be hungry when they get home, ne?"

"Uhn~ " With that Natsumi and Asami continued cooking while talking about the business trip and about everything and nothing. Natsumi really had fun and was happy that she was able to spend time with her mother like this.

It shouldn't be long until dinner would be finished as the girls heard the door open and two voices said together: "Tadaima~."

"Okairi~" Natsumi and Asami walked out of the kitchen to greet the two. Natsumi ran straight to her father and hugged him. Kazuya picked his daughter up and cuddled with her, while Asami suffocate…mhm… hugged Kuroko with all her might and chanting something along the lines of "I'm so happy for you" and "Why do you have to grow up so fast". Shrugging his shoulders, he revelled in his daughter´s chuckling. While Kuroko looked at his mother as if she was crazy and didn't understand what she was talking about. Kuroko, who looked at his father in the hope that he knew what Asami was talking about, only saw the amusement of his father and sister. Kazuya smiled down at his daughter and made his way to the living room, still with Natsumi in his arms, he lay down with Natsumi traped between the couch and himself. He began to snuggel into her, as she began to laugh, he smiled down at her fondly.

"Ne, papa, dinner would be ready soon. So we should get up." Kazuya shook his head and hugged her closer.

"No, papa, wants to cuddle with his daughter right now. Mama can call us when dinner is on the table." Kazuya kissed Natsumi on the head while Natsumi cuddled into her father´s chest with a bright smile and a happy sigh. Kuroko who stood in the doorway with Asami, who still had her arm around his shoulder, smiled at the father daughter pair. It really was pleasant to be home again.
