Hi there. Here's chapter 2, about the HarukiXIsuke kid. Enjoy!


Standing in front of him was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. He wished he could be as pretty as her, he greatly admired her sense of fashion and wished he could be as fashionable as her one day.

"Haruki…you better explain yourself," the beautiful woman said.

Next to him was the cool onee-san who kept bringing him snacks for a couple of days. She looked quite nervous when the pretty woman asked her this question.

"Ah, sorry, Isuke…I couldn't help it! You see, he was all alone on the street, and he makes me think of my siblings," Haruki explained.

"And here I was thinking that all those time you came up late to home, you might be cheating on me or something. Glad to see you are just a dummy and not a cheater…"

Isuke then looked at him with indifference and annoyance.

"Hey, kid, are you trying to steal my wife or what?" she asked.

"I…no! She…she's just giving me snacks, and she's nice to me," he replied.

Isuke sighed and looked at Haruki with a smile that seemed forced.

"I shouldn't even be surprised, that sounds just like you. But, the time you spend with him is less time you spend with me. So stop that."

"But…I can't just leave him like that, I feel bad for him. Poor kid…"

Isuke immediately dropped the smile and looked pissed off.

"So you prefer him over me!?"

"What? No! I like you both in a different way, you as my lover and him as…a younger sibling? A child? You know what I mean, why do I have to choose between you two? Why can't I see you both?"

"Well, if you want to be with him so much, then why don't you just adopt him!?"

They both went silent. Isuke seemed like she regretted what she had said, while Haruki's eyes were full of sparkles and a wide smile appeared on her face.

"Can we?" Haruki asked.

"What?"

"Adopt him!"

"What? Of course not!"

"But you said that I should…"

"I was being sarcastic you idiot!"

Haruki looked disappointed, but he could see in her eyes that she hasn't given up. She put her hand on his shoulder and smiled slyly.

"Well then, if he stays on the street, I guess that I'll just have to keep seeing him here and coming home later, meaning less time for the both of us…"

"You…"

Isuke looked thoughtful for a moment, like she had an inner conflict inside of her mind. She then signed, glanced at the little boy and looked at her wife.

"Well, mama and papa did ask me when they were going to be grandparents, so I guess…maybe it's time for us to have a kid."

Haruki almost jumped in happiness. He also felt happy. He had no parents before, but now, it seemed that he was going to have two moms.


Isuke wondered why she agreed to that. It was true that her parents wanted her to have a child, but why did she have to choose this boy? To Isuke he was just a runt living in the street, would her parents really want that? Was that boy really worthy to wear the Inukai's name?

"He's all clean now!" Haruki said as she left the bathroom with the young boy, who was wrapped in a towel.

Isuke took the time to examine him. He looked rather tall and had short purple hair and golden eyes. He really looked different now that he wasn't dirty anymore. Judging by his appearance, Isuke thought that he might grow up as a handsome man. Not that it really mattered to her right now, she was still unsure if she wanted him as her son, as her parents' grandkid. Her parents' opinion really mattered to her and she didn't want to disappoint them.

She then noticed that the kid was staring at her.

"What?" Isuke said, kind of annoyed.

"Ah, sorry, it's just that...you're really pretty," the boy said.

"Of course I am," Isuke replied, barely affected by this sudden compliment.

" And I really like your nails," he added.

This time, Isuke was kind of surprised. Since when little boys were interested in manicures? Then again, Isuke didn't really care, but that boy had finally caught a little bit of her attention.

"I see that you have good taste. What's your name?" Isuke asked.

"I...I don't really have one anymore. The one I used to have was given to me by those irresponsible adults who abandoned me, so I don't want it anymore," the boy replied.

What he told her suddenly reminded Isuke of something important. Her too she used to be a poor and dirty kid, even it if was something she didn't like to think about. But despite that, her mama adopted her and took care of her. Her biological parents were scum who almost let her died, who had let her younger brother died. Looked like this boy's biological parents were the same. Isuke understood that she had been wrong. Her parents wouldn't be disappointed in her if she adopted a kid like him, quite the contrary in fact. They would probably be happy to see she followed their steps. That boy was the same as her as a kid, so he might have to potential to grow as a wonderful person, like she was.

"How awful, people shouldn't do that to their family," Haruki said with contempt.

"They aren't my family anymore. You are," he declared.

Haruki looked moved and touched by his words, and it didn't leave Isuke indifferent. She was beginning to appreciate that kid.

"Well then, I shall give you a name worthy of the Inukai family. Ah, Haruki, you don't mind if we give him my name?"

"Nope, it's fine. I have plenty of siblings who can keep the Sagae name alive."

"Good. So, how about...Isuko?" Isuke proposed.

"Uh? But that's a girl name…"

"Isuko? It sounds nice, I like it!" the boy exclaimed enthusiastically.

Isuke smiled genuinely. This boy really had good taste. And she found him interesting. Not only he liked her manicure, he was also fond of the name she chose for him. For a boy he sure didn't care about gender norms. Her mama would probably like him.

"Well then, welcome to the family, Isuko! But...who's gonna be the mama and who's gonna be the papa?" Haruki asked.

Isuko looked thoughtful for a moment, before he pointed Haruki.

"You're going to be my mama, and you," he said before he pointed Isuke, "you're going to be my papa."

"Uh? Really? I thought it was going to be the other way around."

"I think it's fitting. So from now one Isuko, you can call me papa and Haruki mama."

Isuke knew Haruki was probably more maternal than her, and she had no problem being called papa. After all, her own mother was a man, and she had a masculine name.

"So, Isuko...would you like to have a manicure?" Isuke proposed.

"I would love to!" he exclaimed with sparkles in his eyes.

Isuke smiled softly. This boy sure would grow up as a fine Inukai.


I really have the feeling Isuke would be the fatherly figure and Haruki the motherly one, despite Isuke being more feminine. But that's mostly my opinion. What do you guys think?

Next chapter will be SuzuKou kid!
