p l a c i n g her hand on her waist, Maiya stared in pure annoyance while Sora posted another signup sheet onto a bulletin board on the third grade classes floor. "Is this really necessary? I mean Kenshin and Tessa aren't going around posting up stupid signup sheets but we are!" Maiya said flipping her purple hair over her shoulder while Sora pulled back and raised one blond brow at her as he spun the staple gun around one thin finger. "Because they're busy setting up everything else…C'mon let's head up to the fourth grade floor." Groaning, Maiya agreed and the two Guardians were on their way.
"Well that's that."
Daisuke stated as he stood back and admired his handiwork. Yame stood behind him, fingers latched together behind her back as she nodded. The two of them had finished posting promo posters all around the large school campus, "great…now can we head back to the garden and eat some sweets?!" Yame suggested grinning broadly as she rocked back and forth on her toes. Turning back to look at the younger girl, Daisuke grinned as he clipped his staple gun onto his belt. "Sounds like a plan to me," Yame's cheeks flushed as she stared into his twinkling honey coloured eyes. Running a hand through his bushy brown hair, he took off down the lawn.
The others soon arrived back to the Royal Garden and to the sight of the Jack and Ace munching away on the scones and sipping black Japanese tea. "Hey guys!" Daisuke greeted stuffing another scone into his mouth before sipping more tea as Yame waved energetically at the others. "Yum scones!" Sora shouted as he ran up the steps and grabbed three scones off the plate and stuffed them into his mouth before collapsing into his usual seat. Daisuke and Yame looked at one another before laughing. Ignoring the scene, Tessa moved to her usual place and settled down, pushing her short bangs out of her face she laced her fingers together.
"So it's set…those going on the camping trip will sign up and the principal will take care of the rest." Kenshin stated dropping a pile of files onto the table and the others nodded before they all sat back in their seats and silence fell over them all. Yame's green orbs landed on Tessa's quiet form and she just stared at her softly.
Eyes glued to the large telly, Yame squeezed her pillow against her chest before loud laughter could be heard. Rolling her eyes, Yame reached for the remote and turned up the volume before settling back on the squishy couch. As she continued to watch, the laughter from outside grew reaching her ears again before she decided to check it out. Getting up, Yame headed towards the sliding door and pressing against the glass door, she stared into the backyard where her mum and dad were playing a scrimmage of soccer while Eli sat on the grass laughing and clapping.
Sliding the glass door open, Yame watched as Yaya kicked the ball past Kukai and as she tried to run by him she was caught around her thin waist and spun around. A small smile tugged on Yame's lips as Yaya laughed and struggled against her husband's iron grip. Tickling her crazily, Kukai looked up and spotting Yame by the back door, he grinned broadly. "Hey kiddo," he shouted and Yaya looked up from where she was currently being held against Kukai's chest. Smiling softly, Yaya squeezed her frame out of the soccer player's grip and punched his shoulder roughly but in Kukai's case it didn't hurt. "Wanna play your old man?" He asked and Yame grinned as she ran out onto the lawn and tugged down on her navy cotton button down top as she stood in front of her dad.
Standing up straight, Yaya squared her shoulders as her gaze drifted between her husband and daughter before she stepped back. "I don't want to play okay?" She stated and Kukai gave her a dazzling boyish grin as she settled down beside Eli and pulled her onto her lap and smoothened out her flat brown hair before kissing the crown of her head. Kukai just stared at the scene before him with glossy eyes, it had only been eight years ago when then twenty –four year old Yaya had been so worried about turning out to be a terrible mother and now here she was eight years later and a pro!
"Oi, daddy let's do this!" Yame exclaimed as she placed her foot on the soccer ball and rested her hands on her waist. Staring at her, Kukai smiled before nodding as they got ready to play. "Go Yame –chan!" Yaya shouted and Kukai's eyes widened, "nani? What about me?!" He croaked and Yaya giggled as she pulled down on her eyelid and longed out her tongue childishly at him.
If there was anything Yame could say that she excelled at, it was the game of soccer. Kicking the ball by her dad, she managed not to get the ball stolen or blocked. Running for the goal, she never took her eyes off the ball and bringing her leg back she kicked it and it slammed into the goal post. Loud cheering filled the Souma backyard and Yame gave a thumbs up at her admiring fans before she giggled as she stared at her dad who frowned deeply. Pepe twirled around and laughed while Daichi just stared ahead arms crossed over his chest and Tokono clapped giddily and giggled.
"That was a lot of fun!"
Yame exclaimed as she placed her hands on her lap and sat at the low table. Grinning broadly, she picked up her chopsticks and twirled them on her fingers. It seemed that no one was paying her any mind as Kukai and Yaya chatted animatedly amongst each other.
"Itadakimasu!" Yame shouted as she broke her chopsticks apart and dug into her bowl of white rice and tried not to mess up her expensive kimono. It was traditional Japanese theme tonight, meaning they all wore kimonos and had their hair pinned up cutely except her dad whose hair was as messy as ever, to top it all off they were sitting on cushions in the living room and eating with chopsticks!
Clearing his throat, Kukai earned the attention of his favourite girls and he grinned broadly. "I'm leaving for America on Saturday and I won't be back until the fourth of March." He announced and the strip of chicken on Yame's chopstick slipped off and splashed into her cup of tea spraying tea all over the table and onto her kimono. Swallowing down a large lump that was forming in her throat, Yaya looked away from her husband and allowed her nut –brown eyes to fall on her daughter's messy dinner as she remained quiet.
"T –This Saturday?!"
Kukai nodded as he drank more of his tea while everyone else including the charas were quiet. Yame couldn't control the onset of emotions that she was beginning to feel on the inside and as she came out of her reverie she noticed that everyone's attention was set on her. Shrugging off her pain, she grinned and gave her dad a thumbs up and closed her right eye. "Sounds great! I hope you have a blast Papa!" She exclaimed and Kukai grinned while Yaya felt a sense of relief wash over her and Eli began to giggle loudly.
Panda –chan: well there's another chapter that has quite a lot of Kukai x Yaya in it!!
Kukai: aw, Yame's soo cute…I'm happy she's my kid *smiles proudly*
Pepe & Daichi: yup…we're proud too!!!
Yame: aw…stop it guys!!! You're making me blush *scratches the back of her head, cheeks flushed*
