A/N: regarding Yurin's name. at first I thought about making it 'Yuri' but then that's the name of Rin and Yukio's mom so I didn't go with that name :)
Here's the third chapter! THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY REVIEWS!
Rin walked in the dining hall and saw Yurin playing with Kuro. He smiled at how happy the two is.
"Hey Yurin-chan. What would you like to eat?" He asked her gently as he walked in the kitchen. Ukobach also seems to know the situation and just nodded at him.
"Uhm... can I have Katsudon, mommy?" She asked Rin with wide eyes as she petted grinned widely and winked at her
"Of course you can!" He started tying the apron around his waist and went to the fridge to get the ingredients. He laid it on the chopping board and handed Ukobach some ingredients to chop. Rin proceeded to cook the rice and boiled water to prepare a soup.
'Rin, how long are you gonna act as parents?' His demon assistant asked as he chopped the onion leeks.
"Until she finally leaves.." Rin whispered so that Yurin won't hear
'And when will that be?'
He didn't answer. Ukobach was right. When will she leave? It bothered Rin as to how they will be able make her leave. Forcing her didn't came in to one of his options, he just couldn't find it in his heart to do it. He also knew that this has to be done soon, before this could get out of hand. Rin shook his head and just trusted that everything will be alright. And he hoped with all of him that everything will.
After about an hour they have finally finished preparing dinner. He poked his head from the counter.
"Yurin-chan, dinner's ready. Get Yuki- ...daddy upstairs and tell him to go down now." He ordered her and nodded as she smiled at him. Yurin stood up from the table and skipped upstairs heading to the brothers' room. She opened the door and saw Yukio at the desk working.
"Hey papa." Yukio was slightly surprised when he felt someone tugging on his sleeve. He turned his gaze and saw Yurin. He smiled gently at her remembering that he has to be 'daddy'.
"Yes?"
"Dinner's ready!" She announced in a hyper cheery voice. Yukio's smile widened, she reminded him so much of Rin. He nodded and stood up following the jumpy little girl.
By the time the father daughter arrived at the dining hall, Rin already got everything laid down on the table. Yurin's eyes sparkled at the feast her mommy made. There was so much food! Not only did Rin prepare Katsudon, he also prepared shrimp Tempura, mixed vegetables, miso soup, and some roasted beef strips. Yukio's mouth also watered. The so called 'family' sat by the table and started to partake in the banquet.
"Hey nii-san..." Yukio whispered to Rin who was sitting beside him "Didn't you cook too much?"
Rin chuckled a bit "Sorry... I can't help it...seeing we have a guest and all..."
The younger just sighed and continued to eat. Meanwhile Rin was watching Yurin as she ate his cooking happily and would say how delicious it is ever so often. He felt something in his chest knowing she was enjoying the meal he worked hard on... he didn't know what it was, happiness maybe? Yeah maybe that's it, he told himself and went on eating.
After they have finished eating, Yurin let down her chopsticks and sighed aloud contently.
"That was awesome! Mommy is the best cook ever~!" Rin blushed and was getting teary eyed from extreme joy. He would always feel like that when someone, aside from Shiro, Yukio, and the other guys at the monastery, would compliment his food. Yukio shook his head at how ridiculous Rin looks.
"Yes, it is a very wonderful supper, Rin" He stood up and ruffled Rin's hair, the older glared at him not because he ruffled his hair but because Yukio found it so easy not to call him 'nii-san'
Yurin was watching them affectionately "My parents are so cute~!"
The duo twitched and blushed, Yukio withdrew his hand from Rin's hair.
"U-uhm... Yurin-chan, why don't you go upstairs with daddy as I clean up here...okay?" She nodded as she ran upstairs with a sulking Yukio following behind.
'ne, Rin, do you think it's safe to let her stay here?' Kuro asked
"It is if we want to help her." he replied as he started cleaning up
'help her? by pretending?'
Rin paused a bit "...Yes"
Kuro scowled 'If you make a mistake, she could be dangerous.'
Rin laughed "May I remind you that I have already encountered Satan himself? I doubt that a little girl could be that scary."
'True but...' He patted Kuro's head
"Everything's gonna be fine okay? Trust me." Rin gave him an assuring smile and nodded at his master feeling confident that he will succeed. He remembered that Rin was the one that brought him back to his sanity and saved him from being banished by exorcists. Kuro smiled to himself as he acknowledged Rin's pure kindness towards others, he didn't care whether it was a demon or a human or anything else, as long as they need help, Rin would always be there.
