Prompt 50) Reishin, Yuri-hime, Kouyuu. Family outing
By firewolf
September 2008

Yuri would freely admit that Reishin greatly surprised her with his treatment of little Kou. When she met the boy, it was her first thought to approach Shouka as soon as possible to have him take in the little waif. She was sure Shouka's family had more than enough love to spread to one more.

To her great surprise, Reishin objected quite strenuously when she quietly brought it up to the brothers out of earshot to Kou. And Yuri was admittedly suspicious about his claim that he now conveniently had an instant family with her as his wife and a ready child for a son without all the trouble and mess of dealing with babies and unintelligible toddlers first.

However, seeing Reishin with the newly name Kouyuu throughout the festival day, then now carrying a quite exhausted boy to the tea house for dinner changed Yuri's mind. It reminded Yuri greatly of how Shouka often treated Reishin when they were growing up. And Yuri was glad that Reishin learnt from that example rather than how he had once treated Kurou.

The boy was going to be spoiled rotten, but Yuri also thought Kouyuu deserved it to make up for his difficult early childhood.
