Natsume proceeded to hold Kaoru and lay her on his stomach as he started to float around, in other words he had become her personal boat. Ruka had busied himself with swimming under water with his new aquatic friends and Mikan was catching seashells close to the sandy shore. Kaoru was having the time of her life and Natsume couldn't help to smile at her excitement, he also had to watch out if the little toddler wouldn't lose her balance.

Suddenly Kaoru pointed behind him and her crimson eyes (Yay revealed!) went buggy, she tried to yell what she was seeing but all she could say was stuttering words. Natsume grew a little worried and held her to go back to his standing position, when he saw what his daughter was seeing a quick sigh of relieve. Ruka was happily smiling while using his Alice on two adult turtles and Kaoru seemed to want to touch them.

"Ruka, where did you get those two?" he asked while swimming at him.

He chuckled, "I was playing with tuna fishes and this couple came to me." He pet one in the head and hugged the other, "Aren't they cute? They're here on vacation!" he smiled.

Natsume stared at his friend, "Seriously. Turtles go on vacations?"

"Tuwtes!" Kaoru chirped.

"Yes sweetie." Ruka suddenly had an idea, "Hey Natsume, bring her here." He whispered something to the two turtles and they started to swim towards the raven haired man. Natsume seemed to have understood the idea.

"Are you sure?"

"They won't drop her."

He nodded and as the turtles turned around he placed Kaoru in the middle of them, she looked scared at first but when they started to swim ahead with her, Kaoru was now more surprised than scared.

"Mikan! Look at Kaoru!" Natsume shouted.

She looked over her daughter and gasped, "Oh my goodness." She chuckled, "Hotaru come see this!" she shouted towards their towels. Seconds later Hotaru came along with her camera ready for blackmail, but she send a sweet smile to the scene when Kaoru was the star of the scene. The little girl was gripping on the two turtles that were having fun swimming around with her, but Natsume frowned when they were a little too far for his liking, he send Ruka a look and he nodded understanding what he meant.

"You can come back now!" he yelled, the turtles obeyed his pheromones and swam towards Natsume.

Hotaru probably took ten pictures of the scene and Mikan dragged her inside the water (thank god for water proof camera) and both walked towards the two men with the toddler.

"Mommy wook!" Kaoru squealed.

Mikan giggled and spoon her around, "I saw you love, you were amazing!"

Natsume smiled ghostly at the scene between the two and petted one turtle, "I guess that turtles on vacation aren't that weird."

"They've been together for eighty years." Ruka sighed.

Natsume mused and watched them swim away, "Where are they going?"

"They're leaving for another adventure." Ruka chuckled.

The two didn't notice that the three girls hopped away, Hotaru was only there to take photos and Mikan was showing her daughter the collection of seashells that she had found, Kaoru looked amazed at the bright colors of it so Mikan decided to sit on the wet sand with her on her lap. While Kaoru touched them and Hotaru pretended to also be amazed, she looked at the sunset, Mikan started to remember the day that she was saved on the beach by all those strange hotties, the brunette giggled to herself with that silly thought but she couldn't really believe that six years ago she was searching for Hotaru along with her friends. And now, she was married and a mother.

"Mommy pwetty." She said while raising a pink seashell to her face.

"Yes, but you're more."

The rest of the evening went by them going back to the towels and have a small lunch composed by sandwiches and smashed fruits for little Kaoru oh and of course crab brains for Hotaru, they also had juice packets. After their stomachs being filled everyone lied down on their towels for a peaceful and quiet moment. Natsume and Mikan moved their towels together and placed Kaoru's in the middle, they snuggled together and watched Kaoru playing with her mother's shells by of course placing them on her mouth. Natsume growled at that, he disliked when she put everything that she could find on her month, especially things that were on the floor or in the case, sand. Mikan chuckled and held the hand that was about to take the seashell away.

"Natsume, aren't you forgetting something?"

He looked confusedly at her.

"Remember when we saw the past with Noda-sensei?"

He nodded, but frowned with the bitter thoughts.

"There was a certain baby that couldn't stop putting a certain stone on his own mouth. Does Kaoru remind you of someone?" she purred.

He didn't see it at first, he tried to remember. A certain baby that couldn't stop- oh. Right…Natsume as a baby also enjoyed putting things on his mouth. He smiled at her.

"Yes, Kaoru-chan is exactly like that baby isn't she?" she joked while kissing his cheek.

"Yeah…I guess that there's really a curse on the Hyuuga family." He mumbled not amused.

"Short-eyebrows, shoving objects on their mouths…Mikan I really pity you." Hotaru suddenly commented, making Ruka snort on his 'sleep'.

Kaoru squealed with joy with the drooled covered seashell.
