A/N: I'm trying to get all my one-shot collections added to before I have to go somewhere... I've got roughly an hour to do four one-shots. Wish me luck.

"Aren't they adorable?" Mrs. Kain cooed as she and Mrs. Souen watched their toddlers. "They're practically in love with each other."
Three-year-old Ruka was picking flowers from the Souen Garden and tucking them into Akatsuki's wild orange hair, creating a bouquet hairstyle. Akatsuki didn't exactly look excited about this arrangement, but he was letting her without any fuss.
"Maybe they'll grow up and get married." Mrs. Souen fantasized. "They'd be so good for each other. Akatsuki is so gentle natured and calm opposed to Ruka's quick temper – no offense – they'd be such a yin-yang, very good in marriage."
"Isn't it a little young to be thinking about who they'll marry?" Mrs. Kain sighed. "They are only three." She paused and watched the kids for a moment before adding, "Akatsuki does seem quite enamored with her, doesn't he? I just think he's a little young to be in love, don't you?"
"Love knows no age." Mrs. Souen argued. "Besides, it seems like he's been looking at her like that for years."
"True. Let's hope she stops sticking flowers all over him by the time they're older though." Akatsuki's Mother laughed. "They are precious, though. Your daughter seems to be the only person Akatsuki is really attached to though, and that worries me."
"He'll be alright." Ruka's mother smiled. "He's friends with Hanabusa as well, so I wouldn't worry. He's just a kid."
The blonde prodigy himself ran onto the scene, pushing Ruka down. Ruka's eyes teared up, and she made a grab for Hanabusa's throat, but Akatsuki was quicker than her. He grabbed Hanabusa by the shirt collar and lifted him up, staring him down with an icy glare.
"Honey!" Both Mothers darted in to remove their children from the fight.
"Is this a usual day?" Mrs. Aidou, who usually made herself scarce, stood nearby, and she scooped up her son. "Hanabusa, we don't push anyone down. That's bad."
Hanabusa rolled his eyes.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Souen held Ruka and Mrs. Kain held Akatsuki. The two children reached for each other, and with a lot of stretching, connected their little hands.
They would be like that for the rest of their lives, partners in crime.
A/N: A short one, but it's kind of cute. I have so much to do and have to leave soon, so I won't be answering reviews right now. Hopefully after the storm.
