Tohru was out in the yard sitting on a basket her little child in a basket of blankets resting while Tohru started on the laundry. Shigure sighed softly sitting on the balcony ash he watched the two, he smiled softly going back to his book in his hands, he blinked hearing penny huffy and make small sounds announcing she was hungry. Tohru heard the little girl picking her up into her arms taking her into the house to retrieve a bottle.
Shigure got up "I'll do it Tohru"
"Are you sure?" She blinked looking up to him.
Shigure held out his arms for the baby "Of course... you are so busy lately you should take a break."
"I'm fine I like being busy." She handed the little girl over to him.
Shigure smiled then nodded "Aa ok" he walked to the kitchen getting the bottle out and warming it up.
The baby held on to his shirt. "Shigure-san what animal do you think she is?"
Shigure shrugged "maybe the tiger?.. Who Knows?"
"... Maybe Hatori can find out from Akito."
Shigure sighed a bit "Maybe... Or... We can wait till she gets her first cold?"
"... Maybe I hope she doesn't get sick I still got to try to figure out this mother role."
Shigure chuckled "I know someone you can talk to about this whole motherly thing"
She blinked looking to him. "Who?"
Shigure blinked "well Rin... Didn't you know…. She had... Haru's kid??"
She shook her head. "No I didn't... I guess I got left out of the loop with some family affairs."
Shigure sighed "Its fine... I didn't find out till yesterday or you can talk to Kisa's mom?"
"Hiro's mom would be good sees expecting another one." She smiled.
Shigure blinked "She is?!" he sighed feeding Penny "and to think... I'm actually born into the family."
"I remember Kisa telling me about it when she stayed with us for a few nights."
Shigure nodded "Ah I see" he smiled watching Penny "She's got your eyes"
She smiled blushing. "... I think their a little darker."
He smiled "Well yea for now what she's a baby but they'll be your color."
Tohru looked to the front of the house hearing a car pull up. "Were you expecting company?"
Shigure blinked then shook his head feeding Penny still "No... Were you?" She shook her head heading to the front door. Shigure followed his brow raised. She opened the door to only be hugged on by the small tiger the sheep glaring at the woman.
Shigure sighed "Why hello Hiro so glad to see your smiling face" he said sarcastically.
The sheep glared at the dog now walking inside to the kitchen. "Onee-chan I want to see the baby..." Kureno looked to the dog holding the child. "The kids wanted to come so I had to bring them." Shigure glared at Kureno then handed the baby to Hiro.
Hiro took the baby Kisa and Momiji following him. Shigure glared at Kureno more then walked away. "Thank you so much for brining the kids over I guess I should try to get use to them running around I bet Shigure-san will probably get me pregnant again." She smiled brightly.
Kureno blushed then smiled some nodding "Hai no doubt he would So how are you?"
"Tired the baby keeps me up half the night while Shigure-san sleeps like a dog."
Kureno chuckled "I know a way to make her sleep at night... If she's anything like Shigure Hatori told me that Shigure needed a clock in his crib to mimic the mother's heart beat... Helps them sleep more."
"Ok I think he has one in his office I'll look before I lay her down to sleep."
Kureno smiled "How about some tea? I'll make it " he said softly smiling sweetly
"Oh no its fine your the guest you can go hang out with Shigure-san and I'll bring you two some."
Kureno shifted a bit "doubt he'll like that... he's most likely pluck me and serve me for dinner."
She blinked looking to him curiously. "Why would he do that Kureno-san?"
Kureno shifted "We're not... the best of friends."
"But the zodiac animals are close."
He snorted "Not me and him"
"Why don't you get along?" She asked curiously.
He sighed "It's kind of personal..."
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you... I um I can pray the kids away from the baby you'll be able to hold her she's cursed."
Kureno smiled softly "that would be great... Arigatou."
She nodded running off to get the little girl for him to hold.
She returned to Kureno holding the child against her chest. Kureno smiled softly petting the baby cooing. "You want to hold her Kureno?" She spoke softly.
Kureno smiled softly "I.. I would love to hold her." She smiled helping the child into his arms.
Kureno held the baby when POOF, he looked down eye wide seeing a small yellow chick in his arms. Tohru looked down to the child that was chirping in the older man's hands. "Shigure!" She screamed.
Shigure blinked running out of the study "What?!... Kureno.. Did you drop my child!?" Kureno shuttered handing the baby to Tohru "Oh god..."
Tohru took the chick standing in between the two protecting Kureno. "... O-our baby... She's a chicken..."
Shigure made a face "Well now that's just mean... calling her such T.T" he said not seeing the chicky.
"No... Shigure-san looks..." She held up the chicken for him to see.
Shigure raised a brow looking at the chicky "It's a chicken... so??"
"... Kureno-san isn't cursed anymore..."
Shigure sighed taking the chicken "uh huh." Kureno sighed then walked to Tohru wrapping his arms around her "See?"
She blushed slightly feeling the previous rooster wrap his arms around her body. Shigure growled at Kureno then snatched the blanket from Tohru's arms grumbling as he walked away "MY HENNY PENNY!" he shouted before slamming the door to his study Kureno sighed
She flinched hearing the door slam shut. "... I think I'm going to ask Hatori if he could fix me."
Kureno blinked a bit pulling back "Fix you?"
"So I don't have anymore kids."
Kureno tensed "Why?"
