Reindeer Games

"How DO you do it?" a good natured, yet curious voice called for her relatives attentions.

Concentrating so that she didn't knick her fingers with the knife she was using to peel away apple skins, Sumire Higurashi kept her head lowered and merely raised a brow and hummed distractedly in answer, "Beg Pardon?

"Souta and Kagome. Never have I seen two children get all so well. Why my brood of heathens are like a pack of shrieking monkey's when they're all together!"

It was New Years Day, and thus the annual Higurashi family reunion was in full swing.

Cousin Yumi stood at her side trussed up in her New Year finery fanning herself vigorously despite the chilly weather. Handing the cleanly peeled apple to awaiting little fingers, the Higurashi matron turned her full attention to her elder cousin. Feeling baffled by the observation Sumire cocked her head, "Is that so?"

"Of course! Not a raised voice or fist in sight. I've never seen the two of them fight!"

Humming thoughtfully, Mrs. Higurashi, turned her attention to freshly shoveled courtyard, where the youngsters of the Higurashi family tree had gathered to frolic. It took her mere moments to spot her two children amongst the crowd. They stood off to the side, vertical from each other, laughing as they helped their younger relatives build a snowman.

Watching the spectacle silently for a moment, their mother then began to chuckle good-naturedly, before quipping, "Yes, well, you've never seen those two play Go Fish."
