Back to ze past

Yuki smirked and winked at Sadaharu behind him before breaking into a run to get to the cabin

Sadaharu ran after him. Typical. Cheer him up a little and all he does is remember his responsibilities. He smirked. Taro was wandering about the kitchen fire, prodding the stewing meat every now and again for their lunch. He grinned when the other two walked inside.

Yuki gave a charming smile and bowedenglish style to Taro before finding a seat.

Amaterasu now had a clean Evelyn sitting on her lap as she spoke with Elizabeth. It was if they were old friends.

Mori walked back inside - he had been just out the front of the cabin - and took up another bottle of sake. Taro tutted at him. "You can't be drunk by lunch!" Mori growled.
"The hell I can."

Yuki ran past Mori and stole his bottle and ran away before Mori got take it back, a laugh the only thing showing Yuki had been there.

Mori scowled and made for the remainder of his stash, which Taro neatly pulled away from him. "No more in front of the children. Uncle Mori had better watch his manners" Taro warned, jabbing a finger as he scolded him.

Evelyn jumped off Amaterasu's lap and ran about the room, making noise as she did so.
Elizabeth rolled her eyes and called her daughter over, scolding her lightly before letting the young girl play again.

Yuki sat back and smiled at Mori, drinking the Sake slowly. "Give him a kiss. It may perswade him to hand the box over."

Mori snorted and Taro made a face. "Aww, doesn't Uncle Mori love Taro-daddy?" He asked, sniffing. A vein in Mori's temple twitched and he ran his hands over his face in exasperation.
"Before I kill both of you..."
"Oh, he's angry!" Taro laughed and sniggered, poking the back of Mori's head.

"How about you give me a kiss?" Yuki asked, his face becoming seductive and handsome. "I mean, I did help keep Mori from the Sake."

Mori rose his eyes to the ceiling.
"Oh, I couldn't. I'm faithful to my Mori-neko-chan." He smiled and chuckled when mori slowly turned to glare at him. Taro winked and moved away to serve lunch.

Yuki laughed and took a swig of the Sake.

Mori glowered, but forced it from his face when Rhun tugged at his leg. "Uncle Mori, uncle Mori!" Mori lifted the kid onto his lap.
"Hmm?"
"After lunch, come play with me!" Mori nodded and chuckled at Rhun, trying to trap the youngsters hands on the table with his own.

Taro returned and set the pot of stew out in the middle of the table. A bowl of rice and a few seperate bowls stacked up beside it.

Elizabethgave an apprecative smile. "Thank you again, Taro."

"Anytime" He said and sat down, placing a small portion in his bowl and serving up Evelyn and Rhun's meals.

Evelyn smiled."Thank you taro-Daddy." And she ran off with her meal.

Amaterasu smiled after her. "I want a baby." She said longingly.

Sadaharu nearly choked on his sake, which he quickly replaced on the table, coughing. "You want kids?" Taro rose an eyebrow from the other side of the table.

"What? Is that so hard to believe?" Amaterasu asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Uhh... No. Haha. No." He scratched the back of his head."Of course not" He coughed again and then quickly tucked into his food to discourage further conversation on that point. In an attempt to do so anyway.

"Not now you idiot." Amaterasu laughed. "But some day Yeah, I'd like to be a mum."

Sadaharu looked immensely relieved. "Oh, well that's alright" He said with a foolish grin. "Had me worried for a moment there."

"You saying I wont be a good mother now, is that it?" Amaterasu rose an eyebrow.

Yuki leaned over to Mori and whispered. "Meow!" The noise for the start of, 'Sadi's gonna get his but kicked.'

"No! Not at all! Actually, I don't think I'd make a good father" He said, quickly reversing the accusation. Mori smirked at Yuki and settled back to eat, watching with amusement.

"Oh, so thats what you think it is?" Amaterasu asked, crossing her legs. "That you wouldn't make a good father? Then I'd have to find someone else wont I?" She looked away and took a drink, hiding her smile.

"H-hey! That wasn't what I meant either!" He said irritably. "Jeesh." He took another swig of sake.

"Then what did you mean? If it wasn't because I'd be a bad mother and you can't be a father." Amaterasu leant forward.
