Satsuki stepped through the door of her mansion, smiling softly. The second she looked up, she saw that her four council members: Nonon, Ira Gamagori, Hoka Inumuta, and Uzu Sanageyama, were standing in the middle of the foyer for her. She blinked, and nodded in their direction. "Good evening."
They all saluted her. "Good evening Lady Satsuki!" They all replied back. Uzu looked at Harry and smiled. "Is that the kid Nonon was just telling us about?" Uzu asked his leader.
Satsuki nodded and looked at Harry fondly. "Yes." She replied. "This is him." Ira, Uzu, and Hoka looked at her in surprise by how fondly she answered.
Ira looked down at her and raised an eyebrow at her comment, then looked back at Satsuki. "Excuse me my lady, but would you enlighten us about what you plan to do with the boy?" Ira asked her.
"Raise him, of course." Satsuki immediately replied.
Ira closed his eyes and smiled. "He will be in good hands then." Ira remarked. The others nodded in agreement.
Satsuki felt ecstatic that her council members where behind her in her decision. 'Well, they are very loyal.' Satsuki reminded herself. She smiled and nodded. "Thank you." She replied.
They smiled and bowed again. "Of course Lady Satsuki."
"Now I must take him to a proper bed." Satsuki walked past them and walked up the stairs. "I'll be back after he's been tucked into bed." Satsuki told them. Once upstairs, she headed towards her room, planning on putting him in her bed. She slowly opened her door, so as not to wake him.
The luxury bedroom was large and had a white theme to it with white walls and furniture. The furniture inside the room included a beautifully crafted wardrobe, a crystal chandelier, a vanity mirror that took up a corner of the room, and a large, four-post bed with white sheets and curtains. She immediately walked over to the bed.
The young woman drew the curtains, then gently placed the little boy in the bed and pulled the blankets up over his chin. After tucking him in and making sure that he was comfortable, she leaned over and planted a kiss on his forehead. The child cooed happily and nestled closer into the sheets. Satsuki smiled and headed towards the door. She took one last look at him and mentally promised herself that she would come get him when dinner was ready. She sighed as she made her way down the stairs. The child was making her soft... Satsuki stopped midway down and shook her smiled. He may be making her soft...But really, he was just completing the process her sister started.
Which reminded her, she needed to introduce Harry to Ryuko at some point. She chuckled slightly under her breath at the thought of her sister's reaction to finding out she adopted a child. 'I should get Hoka to take a picture of that.' Satsuki thought with a smirk as she walked into the foyer and headed towards the dining room, where she suspected her council went. She stepped into the living room, and sure enough, there they were. She smiled. "We have much to discuss, everyone." They all greeted her as she sat down in her favourite seat. "Now...I feel I must ask for your advice on raising Harry, particularly you, Gamagori. You had a child recently with Ryuko's friend, did you not?"
Gamagori blushed and smiled proudly. "Indeed we did my Lady, I would be more then happy to give you as much help as I can." Gamagori told Satsuki.
Satsuki smiled. "I appreciate it. Though your child is an infant, so you too are still new to parenting..."
Gamagori blushed in embarrassment. "Well...then I guess we both have much to learn don't we?"
Satsuki nodded. "Indeed..." Hoka cleared his throat.
"Perhaps I could be of assistance." He said. "I could see what I can find regarding raising children on my computer."
"I think I have a few ideas too." Nonon added. "I think all women have a few motherly things hardwired into their brains."
Satsuki smiled at how they were so willing to help her when she had no idea on how to proceed. "Thank you all. Not only for this, but the loyalty you've shown me over the years." Her four best friends all smiled and nodded.
Just then, Soroi Mitsuzo walked in and bowed. "Dinner is almost ready Lady Satsuki." Soroi told her. "Thank you Soroi." Satsuki told him as he bowed again and made his way back towards the kitchen.
"I suppose I'd best wake Harry." Satsuki said as she rose from her seat.
Meanwhile...
Harry was wide awake and snuggling into the covers, finding the bed very warm and comfortable. As Satsuki was walking out of the room, Harry woke up and watched as she went through the doorway and closed the door. After Satsuki had disappeared behind the door, Harry decided to just lay in the bed where she had put him. It was absurd how comfortable he was...More than he deserved. But it didn't stop him from enjoying every single millisecond of comfort that he was in right now. For a few minutes he was snug like a bug in a rug until he heard footsteps heading towards the room he was in. His eyes widened. Was the pretty black-haired lady coming back? His question was immediately answered as Satsuki came into view and walked into the room. She opened the curtains and blinked, looking shocked that he was already awake. Her shock quickly gave way to a small smile.
"Hello there. I see that you're already awake." Satsuki said as she walked closer to the bed. Harry smiled cutely at the raven-haired woman. Satsuki looked at him fondly as she thought about how adorable his smile was. "I don't believe that we properly introduced each other, I'm Satsuki Kiryuin. What's your name, child?" Satsuki asked him.
Harry looked down shyly, still smiling. "Um...H-Harry..." He replied softly.
"Hello Harry, I hope you'll enjoy your stay at my manor." Satsuki said to him.
She smiled. "I'm happy to hear that." Satsuki told him as she picked him up and held him. "It's time for us to go to dinner." Harry smiled, then snuggled up into her bosom, hugging her tightly. She stroked his cheek fondly as she left her room and started to walk downstairs, thinking about having him as her son.
