Pepe: alright then let's get started!!

Yaya: that's right Pepe –tan...here we go!!

Yame and Tokono: WEEEE!!!!

s c o o p i n g more chocolate and vanilla ice cream into her mouth, Yame's whole body seemed to melt into the park bench. "You really are your mum's kid," Kukai stated and Yame looked up at him and furrowed her brows. "What do you mean?" She asked as she swallowed her ice cream while Kukai smiled and appeared to be lost in his memories. "Your mum has always loved sweets and when she was your age…she never rejected an ice cream date, yup those were the good old days!" He stated as he leaned back on the bench arms supporting his head and eyes closed.

Yame stared down at her ice cream before she licked her lips and looked back up at her dad. "You guys really have known each other for a long time huh?" She mumbled and her dad nodded as his gaze landed on her and he grinned. "Matter of fact, you're a lot like she used to be." Grinning back, Yame scooped more ice cream into her mouth. "I like spending time with you Papa," she said and Kukai smiled lovingly at her as he squeezed her shoulders gently. "I like spending time with my favourite girl too…just don't tell your mum or Eli I said that." Yame giggled as she nodded and he ruffled her hair playfully, "I won't!" She chimed as she stood on her knees and kissed his cheek quickly.

"That's all wrong Maiya –chi!"

Groaning in frustration at her own worthlessness, Maiya brushed hair out of her face and turned to look at her young soccer instructor who was dressed in a large red soccer jersey, black biker shorts red and black striped knee length socks and a pair of low top black and white Converse sneakers. She herself was only wearing a violet sleeveless tank, black shorts and a pair of sneakers and her hair was pulled up in a messy ponytail as she placed her hands on her waist. "What was off this time Yame –senpai?" She complained and Yame tapped her finger against her waist as she studied her friend closely.

"Your whole footwork is wrong…watch me."

Moving onto the field, Yame licked her lips as she swiped the soccer ball away from Maiya and began to demonstrate, the whistle around her neck dancing about with the eight year olds movement. Watching, Maiya had to admit for a short childish kid, Yame was amazing on the soccer field. "Cha! Now that's how you do it!" She shouted as the ball slammed into the net and she grinned at her own skills.

"Nicely done Yame!"

Both Yame and Maiya whipped around and stared at Daisuke who was grinning broadly with Sora and another fifth grader beside him. Maiya's cheeks automatically flushed at the sight of her crush while Yame blinked a few times. "Good job Small Stuff!" Sora shouted and Yame's gaze landed on him before she longed out her tongue and pulled down on her eyelid. "I think I saw Erma –Sensei heading across the courtyard mumbling something angrily about a…Sora Hota!"

Instantly, Sora's eyes widened and he glanced around frantically before laughing awkwardly. "I gotta…go." He squeaked before he shuffled off and away from the soccer field. "You're good," Maiya stated looking at Yame who only shrugged before she skipped off to retrieve the soccer ball.

"So what're we gonna do about that whole Henri Kido knowing about Easter thing?"

Looking up, Kenshin stared at Daisuke before the rest of the Guardian's attention was drawn to the question. Leaning forward, Maiya spread her arms out in front of her on the table and gazed between her crush and cousin. "We'll have to plan a meeting with him and discuss it then…he seems to know a lot about Easter and the Embryo's whereabouts." He said and the others were quiet as Yame continued to stamp papers and pop caramel squares into her mouth. "Sounds good," the others shouted agreeing with Kenshin. Eyes catching his, Kenshin quickly averted his gaze while Yame twirled a stray strand of hair around her thin finger before she went back to stamping a whopping heap of papers.

"Why does Kenshin hate me so much?"

Daisuke's chocolate brown eyes locked with Yame's green orbs as they walked across the school lawn in the setting sun. "He doesn't hate you…where'd you get an idea like that from?" Yame shrugged lightly as the soft giggles of Tokono and Juugo playing a game of tag filled the air. "I guess I just thought because he treated me like a little kid and after what happened and what he said, I thought he -" Her words died out and silence engulfed them both as they continued their walk towards the school gates.

"Hey don't worry about that okay? Kenshin was just upset from the fight and the fact that you didn't transform like the rest of us…it's no big deal alright?"

Nodding slowly, Yame latched her fingers behind her back as they walked along in silence. Staring out at nothing as they both walked out of the school gates, Yame thought back to the confession she had witnessed with Tessa a few days ago before her gaze landed on Daisuke. She had to let someone else in on this, it was eating her alive knowing what Tessa was planning on doing and keeping the others in the dark. Sucking in a deep breath, Yame licked her lips and stared directly ahead.

"Tessa's leaving the Guardians."

Instantly, Daisuke stopped walking and stared wide eyed at the third grader. "What? When?!" Shifting her weight to the other foot, she stared down at her red shoes and tried desperately to disappear. "I don't know when but maybe after the school camping trip or earlier…it's a secret." She mumbled in reply and the older boy just stared at her completely stupefied. "We need to go back and let the others know about this!"

Panicking, Yame's gaze shot up and she grabbed at his arm. "We can't…please don't I promised I wouldn't!" Shooting her an incredulous look, Daisuke had half a mind to just rip his arm out of her hold and run to tell the others but one look into those large green orbs changed his mind. Releasing a deep sigh, his shoulders slumped forward, "alright…I won't." Grinning broadly Yame turned on her heels and tugged on his arm. "Thanks for understanding Daisuke!"
