Hey it´s me again=D

Thanks for all your awesome reviews! I´m really happy about this!=)

So here is the next part. Sorry about the mistakes but english is not my first language.

So here we go~


Chapter 6

" Daddy how long? Should not they already be here?"

" Patience sunshine. They will be here in few minutes. Do not worry."

"Oh that takes too long hmph!"

Kyomi sat uneasily on the sofa and waited for Ryo and his father to come. It was her first festival in Japan and she was very excited. Every time she met Ryo (and that was in the last week almost every day) he told her about the festival last year, how great it was and how much fun they had in organizing the festival.

Her new class, the 1-C was responsible for the cakes and desserts which will be sold in the cafe of the 1-A. It was a tradition of the school, that the new first classes cared about one thing together - this year a café. The 1-C was responsible for the cake, 1-A serves the customers and 1-B was responsible for the decoration. The aim was to get to know his new classmates as well as the students in the other classes.

Since Kyomi came relatively late, the majority was already done. She used the last week to decide which cake her dad could bake for Saturday. She was often with her dad together in the restaurant for this reason she had enough time to eat through the extensive range of cakes and pies of the restaurant... of course with Atsushi's help. Twice came even Ryo and helped her ... but he was full after 2 pieces of cake. The three looked like critics who surveyed the cake from top to bottom ... or a jury in a casting show.

They were so enthusiastic in their work while Taiga and Tatsuya grinned and made a bet who would be the "Japan's next top cake". At the end it was a chocolate - cherry cake, a yogurt lime one and a strawberry cake. He baked them this morning together with Kyomi and brought the cakes to Kuroko at noon. Now it was almost 4pm. The children had agreed that Ryo and his father come at 4pm to the Kagami's and then they go from here to school together.

"Ahhh where are the-"

Suddenly there was a ring at the door and Kyomi ran like lightning to the door. In front of the door stood ,as expect, a grinning Ryo.

" Ryo ! Finally ! I've been waiting for you. Come in!" Kyomi stepped aside to let him in before she looked in front of the door to the left and right.

"Ryo? Where is your dad? I thought he wanted to come along?"

"Yes actually he wanted to come but his boss called him maybe 20 minutes ago that they need him at work. Sorry."

"Mhhhh ... what a shame. Well no matter. The main thing is you're here! "

Kyomi pulled Ryo in the living room. He did not even have the chance to take off his shoes but Taiga was accustomed to this. Kyomi made it sometimes, too... old habits die hard.

"Daddy, daddy! Ryo is finally here!"

"Hello Ryo!"

"Hi Taiga!"

"Where is your dad?"

"Unfortunately, he has to work and he does not know how long it goes today, therefore I should ask if I could stay here by chance. I bought everything I need with me", he said, and turned around, showed a small backpack on his back.

"Yeah, why not. We have plenty of room. You can put your backpack on the couch if you want."

" Really, Ryo can sleep here ? Awesome ! First, a school festival and then a pajama party ! Yeah !"

"Thank you Taiga."

"Yeah, yeah you are welcome. Now let´s go!"

"YESSSSSS!", Kyomi shouted excited and pulled Ryo once again with her. Taiga chuckled.

What a duo...


"...Wow..."

Kyomi's eyes were literally stars and gleamed with enthusiasm while Taiga looked like a fish on land, confused look and a mouth that opens and closes.

"This ... this is not a school event. "

"Why Taiga? "

" Why? I do not know what has happened in the last 10 years, but my school festivals were a little different ... Is not that a little too big for a school festival ?! "

The redhead did not know where to look first. Everywhere were the various stalls. Food, games, crafts, Shops ... nothing was missing. Even a small bouncy castle could be seen.

" Mhh ... no idea. It always looks like this. So come on! I want to show you something Kyo-chan !" Ryo took Kyomi's hand and all three went on.

"Daddy? What is that what some girls wear here?"

"Huh? ... Oh you mean the Yukata!"

"... so pretty ..."

"You want one? You can borrow or buy them over there." Ryo pointed to a stall a bit further away.

"What does not exist here? Is there also an ATM ?", he ask sarcastically.

"No, but behind the school is a bank with an ATM."

"...good to know... okay sunshine. Let´s go and you can choose a Yukata."

"Really? Juhuuuu!"

They went to the Yukata stall and Kyomi could hardly decide. Ryo helped her and at the end she wore a navy blue yukata with red flowers and black leaves and twigs.

"Wow you look beautiful Kyo-chan!"

"Thanks ... "

"Okay. Right now I want a chocolate banana."

They went to a candy stall and Taiga bought a chocolate banana for himself and a chocolate strawberry skewer for Kyomi.

"Look! The apple looks like you !" Ryo laughed and pointed at a red candied apple. The Kagamis looked at each other and then again to Ryo before they started laughing.

"Can I have one?"

" Of course."

Taiga bought Ryo the red apple and then they went on. They walked past Takoyaki booths, craft stalls and food stands. The sight of the small squids with its tentacles on the skewer fascinated and disgusted Kyomi at the same time. She had never seen something like this before and made a face.

" ... can you even eat it ?! And I thought the fish on a skewer was weird..."

" Hmmm ... no idea but you can ask the man back there who is chewing on a tentacle."

"Urgh ... no thanks ..."

Kyomi ran literally ahead and stopped in front of a stall with a duck game. The task was to fish the ducks which had on the bottom a colored dot. Depending on the color you get a different score. A total of 10 ducks per trial were allowed to be fished.

"Daddy, can I try it?"

"If you want."

Taiga paid and handed Kyomi the fishing rod. She began immediately and caught after a few tries her first rubber duck.

"Look daddy! I got a green one!"

"Oh that makes 20 points. Great sunshine."

" Yosh, next one!" Kyomi fished 4 more rubber ducks before she held the fishing rod to Ryo.

" Here you can too!"

"Oh thank you Kyo-chan. "

Now Ryo tried his luck and Kyomi cheered for him. At the end they had a green with 20 points, 2 blue with 10 points and 7 white each with 5 points. Overall, they had 75 points and took 3 One Piece beverage cans. Taiga got Law, Kyomi Luffy and Ryo Bartolomeo. They walked for a while.

" OH! What's this?" Kyomi pointed to a booth full of masks.

" You can put the masks for example one the side of your head - like the girl there. "

"Coollll ! Daddy ? ~ " She looked at him with wide, shinning eyes.

Taiga facepalmed and smiled.

" Because of you I become poor ... but okay. Pick what you want you two. "

"What? Me too?"

"Sure why not. "

The stand could offer a large selection. From animals over fairy creatures to anime figures everything was available. While the two are mutually advise, Taiga looked around a little. Everywhere were families to be seen. Children played, laughed and ate cotton candy or chocolate fruit. Behind him ran just two girls in Yukata with small balloons around the wrist and a big Chopper lollipop in the other hand.

Beside him stood a woman who tried a monster mask while her baby slept in a stroller ... probably a boy, judging by the colors of the stroller and clothes. The woman noticed his gaze and looked at him.

"Bakagami..no Bakagamis..and Aho-Ryo?"

Taiga was a little shocked as the `monster woman` suddenly spoke with him.

"Coach? What are you doing here?"

"Really, Bakagami ! The same as you! Enjoy the festival and buy masks."

and why exactly a monster mask ? ... well although ...

"Mhh ...", Aida looked at the mask." Okay I take it. I´m sure Junpei will like the mask."She leaned to the stroller to look for her wallet.

Taiga looked at her skeptically. Hyuuga-senpai and monster mask ... well I do not know ...

"Wait !" He looked between her and the stroller back and forth.

"The last time I saw you, you had a 6 year old girl and no baby boy ... Either you have such a child who goes back in time or you smuggle children ... or can you buy it here ,too ? ..." Taiga looked around in amusement.

"BAKAGAMIIII !" She hit him with the newly purchased mask.

"Ouch ... damn coach! What was that ?!"

" Stop watching so many stupid movies Bakagami. Have you ever had the idea that this is simply my son ?!"

" Really Coach. Do you really think I´m that stupid?!"

" Hmph ... do you really want an answer?" She looked at him skeptically.

"Come on Coach ... " Taiga sighed. " But really what's his name?"

" This little boy is Akio. "

" Hey little boy, were is your sister?"

"She is ill that´s why Junpei stayed at home with her."

"Oh. I hope she will be better soon."

"Thanks... and what are you doing here? Family trip?"

"Yeah...you could say so..." he let his gaze wander to Kyomi and Ryo and smiled.

"Daddy, daddy can I get this lion mask?"

"And can I get this dragon mask Taiga?"

"Pleeeeaaasssseeeeee!", said the two at the same time.

"Alright Kagami. Have fun with your family. It´s time for me to go home and feed Akio and to check on Hikari. I cannot leave Junpei alone for too long."

"Do this. Bye."

"Bye." Aida grabbed her mask, put it in the stroller and went home.

" So daddy, can we? We also found a make for you ... look! There is a tiger mask!"

" Oh no please, princess. I'm too old for this! And a tiger..come on! "

" Please daddy, do it for us!"

"Us?"

"Yeah, Ryo thinks it´s funny, too."

"Huh...stuff it! Okay..." Taiga sighed.

" Okay so lion, dragon and tiger right?"

"Hmmm and perhaps also the panther?"

"And why the panther yet?"

"Well ... my dad is like a panther ... fast, flexible but often just lazy. And he can´t be here because he has to work. So I thought ..."

Panther huh ...

Taiga sighed." Okay ... I don´t care. Maybe a frog or Naruto, too? Anpan man is also there ..."

"No we don´t need them. "The kids laughed and Taiga rolled his eyes.

The redhead bought the 4 masks and thought maybe he really needs an ATM soon. The children put their masks on the side of their head and Taiga after some persuasion too. They walked past other stands with dumplings with salad and egg or sugar paintings on edible paper when they stopped in front of a stage. There was a man speaking about today's competitions.

" 5:15 pm the big eating contest

5:45 pm steeplechase

6.15 pm catch the goldfish

6:45 pm Quiz

Everyone can join. 7:15 pm is the highlight of the festival, the big firework.

In 10 minutes starts the next competition, the eating contest. Who can eat the most bowls of ramen in 10 minutes wins. who ..."

"Oh oh oh daddy, daddy, daddy! This is my strength ! I can do this ! I want to join !" Her eyes shone.

"And ... I want to catch the goldfish. "

"Huh? You can do that?"

"Yeah. In the summer, my dad and I go always in the forest or mountains to catch crayfish and other small animals."

"Oh, that´s cool Ryo!"

"Okay then let's go to register you, sunshine. The other competition is later."

They went to register Kyomi and a short time later she sat with five other children on stage. While the man explained once again the contest, Kyomi waved and grinned. The first noodle soups were placed in front of the participants and it started. Neither Taiga nor Ryo had the slightest doubt that Kyomi wouldn't win. And so it happened. While the other ate 2-4 bowls, Kyomi ate 7 bowls and would definitely have eaten even more if the time would not have to end.

" And the winner is Kagami Kyomi ! Congratulations ! The big award ceremony is at the end of the day at 7pm with the other winners together. Until then, have fun and in 15 minutes it then proceeds with ... "

"Daddy I won yeah !" Kyomi came ran off the stage and jumped into her father's arms.

"My little winner."

"Hihihi .." Kyomi grinned at him.

"Congrats Kyo-chan! You were awesome! "

Taiga let Kyomi down. "Well ... actually, I've only eaten hihihi. "

"Okay. We still have 45 minutes until your contest starts, Ryo. Let's go somewhere else."

Her next stop was a game booth where you had to hit the small balloons with darts. This sounds easier said than done. The balloons were very stubborn and didn´t burst so easy. In the end they managed just 3 of 10 and got some sweets as a consolation prize.

Next, they wanted to go to the café of the first classes to see how it is going. Kuroko was the supervisor and told them that the cakes were a great success and they were eaten first. In the cafe there was still a large crowd which is why the three weren't long there and went to Ryo's class. There you could make origami or paper lanterns. Ryo folded a paper crane and Kyomi tinkered with the aid of Taiga a lantern.

Slowly it was time for Ryo's grand entrance and they went back register him to catch goldfish. On stage was a large aquarium with many fish and each participant was given a small fan with paper in center.

"Okay ladies and gentlemen. This is the penultimate competition for today. The rules are simple. Catch as many fish as possible without tearing the paper surface. Whoever catches the most fish wins. Of course everyone can take their fish home. So let us begin."

The first participant was a blond boy who was highly concentrated. He followed the fish with his eyes, his tongue was hanging in the corner of his mouth. He lashed out vigorously, but unfortunately the paper tore on the impact with the water without coming even close to the fish.

The next was a girl. This even managed to catch a fish, then screamed due to the wriggling fish and let everything fall ... the fish landed back in the aquarium. The third participant was again a boy and he got 2 fish out of the water before his paper tore.

The last was Ryo. Kyomi sat on Taiga's shoulders and kept her fingers crossed for Ryo. Ryo managed thanks to his skill and speed to get the first fish without problems. Shortly thereafter, landed 3 more in his bowl before even his paper tore. A man put the fish in a plastic bag with water and handed it to Ryo.

"The winner is A-"

"YEAHHHHH ! Ryo !" cried Kyomi thrilled on Taiga's shoulders.

"- ne Ryo! Congratulations!"

"Thank you." Ryo held the bag in the air and grinned at Kyomi. Shortly after, he was back beside them and Kyomi back on the floor.

"Here Kyo-chan. For you." He held out the fish.

"But- you caught the fish."

"Yes but you have given me your shoes and a lot of more. So I want to give you the fish. "

"Ohh thank you very much !" She hugged him and took the bag. Inside swam a orange / gold fish, one black and two orange / black patterned fish.

Since the award ceremony was not far away they stayed and watched the last competition, the quiz. The questions were from different subjects and Ryo and Kyomi guessed enthusiastically. At the end won a brown-haired girl.

"Okay, now is the big award ceremony. Each winner, please come on the stage." One after another came the 5 winners on stage ... probably there was another competition before the eating contest.

Pride were the winners on stage. Taiga was aslo very proud of his two winners.

" Okay ... your price is ... you are allowed to come to school on Monday!"

The winner looked to the man, a boy was particularly horrified. The audience laughed.

"Okay, okay. It was only fun but you have to come to school anyway. "

Everyone got a certificate, a Pikatchu lollipop and a bag of cotton candy. In the end, they even took a photo of the victors, all together and then individually if they wanted. However, Ryo and Kyomi would rather have a photo together. A woman took the picture as Ryo suddenly had an idea.

"Taiga ! Can you come here, too? "

"Huh? Why?"

"Come on I want a picture of us three together as a memory ... This is possible, isn´t it photographer- san?"

The photographer chuckled.

"Of course we can do this."

Now Taiga stood smiling between the children. Kyomi had wrapped an arm around his leg and held with the other hand proud the fish in the camera. Ryo made a "V" with his fingers and grinned at the camera.

The highlight of the festival was the beautiful fireworks. The children watched with wide eyes and open mouth. It was the grand finale of a really beautiful day. When it was over, they went on their way home.


After doing the fish in a small aquarium, Taiga had made dinner and although Kyomi had already eaten 7 bowls, she ate as always.

After dinner they decided to watch a movie. After much back and forth it was `The Road to El Dorado`. On the TV were the credits of the movie and it was time to go to bed. The children wore already their pajamas on and brushed their teeth. Taiga was making the dishes as he heard as a muffled bang.

What are they doing...

He went into Kyomi's room and caught the two with a big mattress.

"Oh let me guess. This is the mattress from the guest room where Ryo should sleep. "

"Exactly daddy, but the mattress was suddenly here ... like shwupp !"

"Ach ?! It walked on its own in your room?"

"No idea ... probably. Maybe the mattress would rather sleep with its friend here ..."

"Soso ... ... you two ... It will be all fine by me, Ryo can sleep in your room but you can´t talk all the night, okay?"

"Yes daddy !"

"Good. Now hush, hush. Goes to bed. Sleep well you two."

Kyomi crawled to the end of her bed to give her dad a kiss.

"You too, daddy."

"Good night, Taiga."

"Sleep well you two."

Taiga turned off the light and closed the door. Then he went back into the kitchen.


Taiga could swear that he had heard the two talk and giggle almost the whole night. Amazingly, both were up early and now are running cheerfully through the apartment and play something since breakfast. In the beginning, he thought they were playing tag but after some time they suddenly shouted something and giggled. He was just grateful that under him the apartment was free otherwise it would have certainly already rung.

The main thing they have fun ...

Taiga had disappeared after breakfast in the kitchen, trying to create new cake for the restaurant. Kyomi has suggested a chocolate cake ...her favorite cake. Therefore, he baked a chocolate yogurt cake with pomegranate / passion fruit mousse, which was in the middle of the cake. On the cake he wanted to paint with the rest of the mousse, chocolate cream and dark chocolate flowers ... maybe a lotus flower, orchid or lily ... he wasn´t quite sure. First, the freshly baked cake had to cool down. In the meantime, he cleaned up the kitchen.

He heard the children running around in the living room as he began carefully to paint with the dark chocolate small branches and leaves.

Not shake ...

He had just finished the first leaf when the doorbell rang. Suddenly a small elephant ran to the door ... could only be Kyomi. She opened the door and starred on the new guest.

"Yo! You have to be Kyomi, I guess. I´m Ryo´s dad. He told me a lot about you. Thanks for always playing with him."

"Oh yes! That´s me. Nice to meet you!" She gave him her best smile and opened the door wider. "Come in!"

"Eh no thanks. I don't want to bother you. I'm just here to pick Ryo."

" Hmmm ... too bad but okay. Wait, I'll get him."

She ran into the living room to Ryo to let him know. Daiki watched her run away and smiled slightly.

Ryo said she looks like Akane? ... I don´t know ... her smile and hair remind me more of someone else ...

" Ryo! Your dad is here! He wants to pick you up."

"What now? Pity."

Taiga had just finished with the chocolate leaves and the red / orange mousse as the lower part of the petals. He already thought it was the father Ryo's and collected Ryo´s prices of yesterday together, he had like Kyomi spread everything across the kitchen table. He did the cotton candy, the lollipop and the two masks in a plastic bag when his eye fell on the certificate.

So ... which one is his-

His eyes widened and he almost let the sheet fall.

certificate

The first place in the `catch the goldfish` competition goes to Aomine Ryo.

he -

Taiga did not continue to read, his eyes stick to one word.

"A -... Aomine ...?"

In this moment came Ryo around the corner.

"Taiga, Taiga my dad is here."

The redhead looked at the paper and then to Ryo before he averted his gaze.

This is a huge coincidence ... I´m very sure there are more than one Aomine in this world ...

...look at him ... Really! Are you blind? He has the same skin and hair color ... he already looks like Aomine in small... and he also loves basketball ...

... but that doesn't mean something ... many kids like basketball ... and his eyes are also different and he is not such an ass as Aomine was sometimes ...

...Hadn´t Akane red eyes?... and of course...he can has another character... and the age could fit, too ...

"Argh ... On which side are you , head!" hissed Taiga. "What am I thinking here for a crap!"

"Unfortunately I have to go now-"

Taiga growled softly.

"Eh Taiga? Is everything okay?"

Taiga looked at him, he could see the concern in Ryo's eyes. Taiga smiled at him, hoping Ryo wouldn´t see right through him.

"Yeah, yeah. I´m fine. Don´t worry. Here are your prices and the masks from yesterday. It was a very nice day."

He put the document in the bag and gave it to Ryo.

"Thank you, Taiga." He hugged him.

"Can I come again?"

"Of course!...But now I think it´s time. Your dad is waiting in front of the door, isn´t he? He didn´t come in , right?"

"No he is in front of the door."

Thankfully...

"Won´t you come with to the door?"

"Ehhh sorry but I'm very busy right now, okay? Next time."

"Hmmm, okay, Taiga. See you."

"Yeah. Bye."

Taiga breathed deeply after Ryo was gone. Really why now... maybe I´m wrong ... how likely is it that ... huh ...

"Dad! I´m done. We can go!"

Ryo ran to his dad.

"Thank you Kyo-chan for everything. I had a lot of fun!"

"Yeah me, too."

"Dad look what Kyo-chan's dad bought me ... a dragon mask and for you got one too. It is a Panther. "

"Uhh..yeah.. they are great ... where is her dad? Isn´t he here?"

"Yeah but he is very busy in the kitchen. "

"Mhh okay ... I don't mind."

"Bye Kyo. It was nice to meet you. Come Ryo, let´s go."

"Bye Kyo-chan!"

"Bye!"

Ryo quickly put on his shoes and walked out of the apartment. He waved Kyomi goodbye and she was closing the door as Daiki noticed something on the wall and he stopped her.

What?...wait...such a dumbass!...


So enough for today=) I hope you like it.
