"Kaoru! Man, you're finally here!" Hikaru exclaimed, clasping his brother on the shoulder. Kaoru grinned, pushing his hands off his shoulders and turning to the door.
The client was standing there, in full glory, her coat down to her knees and a scarf around her face, as per usual. She scowled and Kaoru smiled. "Ma'am, we ahve yet to find a model, but I assure you we will find one," Hikaru told her, bending over slightly in curtsey.
She huffed, flipping her tomato coloured hair, which was down from the hat she had usually been wearing. "Fine. Get me one by tomorrow," she retorted sourly, "I have nothing more to say to a Hitachiin today; God knows I've spent enough time."
She turned on her heel, and stormed out of the room.
Hikaru deadpanned. "What the hell did she mean by that?" he stammered, watching as the swinging door still wobbled from her abrupt exit.
Kaoru just smirked.

"Okay," Renge smiled, pulling at the pretty little dresses on the girls and the little tie on Ryu, silently cooing over their cuteness, but knowing at this stage that Ryu would freak if she mollycoddled him too much. Boys will be boys, "You look good to go now."
Ami smiled, tying her ponytail into a bun at the back and doing the same for her sister. "We're ready," they said, grinning.
Ryu stared absentmindedly out the window as his sisters raided the cookie jar, having nothing else to do but wait. "Hey otaku," he mumbled, Renge turning around in acknowledgement, "Will Daddy be okay with all this. You used his sewing machine without permission and the material in the attic."
Renge smiled. "I'm sure he'll appreciate your imaginations."
Ryu nodded and went back to staring out the window for a few seconds before he let out an exclamation. "Daddy's home! Uncle Kaoru too!"
Cami rubbed the chocolate off her face and Ami got down from the kitchen chair. They raced into the sitting room and got in position. The door swung open. And the lights, which were previously off, were turned on.
"Renge?"
Renge smirked, taking in the twin's expressions gleefully. "Welcome to the Ouran High School Host Club!" she yelled, Ami and Cami cackling in delight. Hikaru stared.
They had appeared to have ripped up his old school uniforms to make their own and his daughters were apparently meant to be him and Kaoru, Cheshire cat grins adorning their faces. Ryuu sat quietly between them in similar attire, smiling, his dark hair fluttering over his eyes.
Hikaru smiled and Kaoru went over to pull Renge's hair, ignoring her protests. "I need a favour off of you," he sang, pulling out her ribbon to her dismay.
"Like that's going to make me any more likely to help!"
Hikaru walked foreward and knelt in front of his youngest child. "Hey," he said quietly, smile still apparent on his features as he scooped the tired child into his arms, "You make a great Mommy."
