DAY 6

It was Friday morning. Sanada was in the kitchen with the phone book. He was looking for several schools which would agree to take care of his nephews. Well he already got some appointments but he couldn't leave the children alone. He didn't want to bother his old neighbor with this tiny little problem and Yukimura had his PE lessons.

He was looking at his cell phone and then at the piece of paper on which he wrote the list of schools he had to visit. He sighed and phoned the only person who could help him. Two hours later he was here. Sanada opened the door and made his savior enter.

Niou went into the living room followed by Sanada. He had to put his daughter in the playpen he brought. Little Niou Kykyo was two but she was even brattier than Kagami and Kuan Ti when she wanted to bother her father.

"So what am I supposed to do with them when they wake up?"

"Just make them eat their breakfast and then make them go back to their room with these exercise books. I put money on the fridge for lunch. You can order a pizza or anything you want for you and Kykyo. They have shrimps and spinach."

"Ok. The only problem is that I must take Kykyo for a walk in the afternoon so I will have to take the brats with me."

"It can't be helped. Be careful they will try to make you buy some ice cream."

"Don't worry. I've brought some leashes. I won't get ripped off that easily. Afterall I'm The Trikster."

Sanada left hoping that everything would be alright. He knew Niou wouldn't be tricked by them. And with a bit of luck Yukimura would come to help them. Sanada began to realize that he was thinking about his best friend more than usual but it didn't bother him at all as it replaced the thoughts he had about his former girlfriend.

Back to Niou. Kykyo was playing with her little dolls while her father was reading his favorite magazine. A few minutes later the twins came down calling for their uncle, asking him they were going to do. Niou stood up and greeted them. He made them eat their breakfast, wash their bowls, spoons… and then he gave them the exercise books and he asked them to go to their room and to work.

But they didn't obey. They stood in front of the playpen and stared at Niou.

"Mom told us not to obey to strangers. You are a stranger so we don't have to listen to you. If you don't go away we will call the police."

Kagami stuck her tongue out. Niou smiled an overly sweet smile. He knelt in front of the kids.

"I ain't no strangers brats! I'm Niou Masaharu one of your uncle's friends. He asked me to take care of you today as he has some business to attend to. And that's my daughter Kykyo."

"Uncle Gen-chan didn't tell us you were coming. So you are a liar!"

Kuan Ti tried to kick in the shins. Niou began to understand why his friend was so desperate when he phoned him to ask him to keep an eye on those brats. He grabbed the little boy by the arm and stared at him.

"You think you can make me leave or go nuts with your silly actions. Bad luck guys I'm an expert when it comes to being nasty. I know many things so you really would like to know. So if you don't want to feel my wrath, go upstairs and do what your uncle wants you to do!"

Kagami tried her famous puppy eyed look but it failed. They ran upstairs because The Tricksters threatened them to kick their backside to make them climb the stairs. Niou didn't hear them.

Lunch was a bit more difficult as Niou was eating Chinese food with his daughter while they had to eat spinach and shrimps. But Niou didn't say a single word. He looked at them. He must have been more frightening than Sanada as they ate. Oh they did complain but they understood quite rapidly that they had better be on the good side of their uncle's friend. They even did the washing up even though they knew their grandmother had a dish washer.

Some problems came up just after that. There was a sponge bob movie on TV and they wanted to watch it as Sanada told them that he wouldn't record it to punish them for being expelled from school. They begged and begged. They even shed some tears. In vain. But the kids were smart. They knew there was a TV set in their grand parents' room. Unfortunately Niou was even smarter. He unplugged it and took the remote control with him. He knew what they were going to do. He did it himself when he was young.

Soon it was time to go out for a little walk. If Kykyo was really happy, Kuan Ti and Kagami weren't. They wanted to stay home thinking that they would be able to do whatever they liked. Well they forgot that Niou was way smarter than them. It took the leashes out of bag.

"Either you come with me or I bind you to the kitchen chairs. Your uncle told me I was allowed to do it, so don't think he will yell at me for doing it."

The poor kids had no other choice than to obey.

It was nearly 7.00pm when Sanada came home. The kids were in the living room playing with Kykyo while Niou was reading his law book. Everything seemed to be perfect. The Trickster saw him and followed him in the kitchen.

"So you found a new school?"

"Rikkai's kindergarten agreed to take them in. How was your day with them?"

"Good. Thoses brats need someone stronger than them. You are too nice with them even when you are angry. I didn't scream or anything. I just showed them I was the boss. And to tell you the truth Kykyo can be worse."

"Thank you Niou. You really helped me today. If you ever need my help, just ask…"

"I will remember that. Now I will have to go home. Ran won't forgive me if I'm late for dinner."

A/N:Niou is the king. Let's hope the kids understood. What will happen at Rikkai? Next time you'll have some Yukimura/Sanada. It was high time to introduce it…
