Yukiko had caught her daughter when Kimiko tripped while racing up the stairs. The daughter's mad giggling having actually caused the misbalance. Yukiko was now pinning Kimiko on the floor, full tickling mode turned on. The customary shrieks emitting from Kimiko's mouth present. When Yukiko deemed Kimiko punished enough, she stated, "You are very lucky that I adore my new daughter, otherwise you would have actually been taught a lesson about tossing food at their own mother."
Kimiko snickered and sat up, "aw, you mean you didn't love me!" The resulting comment earned a raised eye brow and the statement of "which one". Kimiko knitted her brow and then grinned, "All of them!" A swat ended up making contact with Kimiko's head a moment later.
Hattori had ventured upstairs, and was now tapping his fingers impatiently drumming on the railing of the stairwell, smirking a little at the scene. "Oi Kudo, we're supposed to be working on the case together, but I can start without you. It's only the Kid heist notice," Hattori leaned all the way on the stairwell, acting as if he was ready to turn around and leave. What he didn't expect was the sock to fly at him. Hattori met Kimiko's snicker with a raised eyebrow, "are you sure you're, what is it now, twenty?"
Kimiko's left sock went flying at Hattori's head too, and then she laughed, "Fine, I'll hurry as fast as I can. Not like you'll get very far without my help, I've defeated you how many times now?" With that last quip, Kimiko pushed herself from the floor and flounced towards Hattori, "come on, Heiji, let's hurry up and go!" She hadn't even caught herself speaking with his first name as she continued down the flight of stairs.
Hattori, though, had halted and just watched Kimiko leave, only turning around to tell an unabashed Yukiko, "are all females strange, I figured a male-turned-female would be able to keep himself together."
Yukiko just managed a cheeky grin before ushering Hattori himself down the stairs, "don't keep Kimi-chan waiting! Girls are very sensitive to tardiness. A couple minutes late can send one into a tirade, and you do not want to see Kimi-chan's tantrums, she was bad enough as Shin-chan!!!" Yukiko continued to smile when she noticed Hattori's chuckle, a tantrum-throwing Shin-chan was always an interesting spectacle.
