Aiba sat nervously looking at the two girls that he had somehow found himself the father of. He had brought them out of the sick room when Sakurai had started his checks. Yuu had been taken by Nino to be washed and changed He wasn’t sure how he was meant to handle two girls though he knew that his years of looking after the younger members of the Garden would be helpful. He couldn’t imagine that they had been on the streets for more than a year and a half, any more and they would have lost their trust of adults any less then they would have been healthier than they were. He gave a smile and then knelt down so they were face to face.

“So I am Aiba Masaki, or Masaki or whatever you want to call me...And you are?”

“I’m Shoko...” The girl with the lisp answered slowly her cheeks colouring a little before jumping when Aiba gave an excited shout his hands clapping together

“Sorry! I did not mean to startle you...My partner his name is Sho...I think that it is a good sign...” He apologised and Shoko’s face coloured further her eyes widening. “And you...What is your name?”

“Himeko...” The more nervous looking girl whispered playing around with the sack that she was wearing. Her voice trembled and shook her eyes unable to look him in the face and Aiba had to fight the urge to pull her into his arms and hug her tightly “Um...Sir...Are we...Are we really going to be your family...You’re not going to sell us...”

“No, I am not going to sell you...” Aiba whispered truthfully reaching out and taking their dirty hands holding them gently and stroking them with a thumb. “I know that you will not believe me...But I promise that I and my Monkey are very happy that you are going to be in our family...”

“So...Can I call you papa?” Himeko whispered and Aiba laughed a lump forming in his throat as he gave a nod.

“Yes...That would be perfect...” He whispered and Himeko gave him very small smile squirming around. Shoko though still looked unconvinced her pretty brown eyes narrowed with suspicion but Aiba was prepared for it. “So for now let us get you washed and then we can go to the kitchens for something to eat...I am sure that your tummies are ready for that, ne?”

“...Yes please, Masaki-san...” Shoko agreed slowly while Himeko’s eyes widened and her head bobbed up and down. Aiba gave a smile and stood up holding out his hands to the two girls glad when they reached out and took them holding them as tightly as they dared. Aiba smiled and then walked towards the bath houses. They were the ones that he had used when he lived in the Garden but he didn’t feel
confident enough to use the main palace ones. The baths were thankfully empty but the girls stood nervously looking at the large pool of water.


“You should strip...I will turn my back...” Aiba whispered turning quickly his face flushing a little. After a few minutes silence there was a rustling of the sacks being dropped. “Um you should get into the water...And then I will wash you...”

“Okay, papa” Himeko whispered and Aiba waited until he heard two splashes before turning around. The girls were standing in the water that came up to their waists. Aiba took a basket from the side contained scented oils for washing and then sat down on the side rolling up the sleeves of his outfit and motioning for them to sit against the wall.  He unfastened the ties that had bound up their lank greasy hear. It felt disgusting against his fingers and he shuddered a little at the feeling before he took up the jug. Humming softly he poured a little of the water onto both of their heads. He took the sweet scented oil and poured liberal amounts into the tangled nest of hair and then rubbed them gently.

“The hour of the day is passed, the sun hides behind the trees, you will return to me...” Aiba sang softly as he scrubbed the hair stopping when both the girls giggled with their hands in front of their mouths

“Papa...What are you singing?” Himeko asked turning to look at him soap suds clinging to the sweet face and Aiba gave a laugh tapping her nose as he blushed a little.

“Ah...Sorry...I made it up for Monkey when he was away taking care of the people that were fighting...” He answered “I missed him very much but I sang that I knew he would come back...Okay close your eyes so I can wash away the oils...”

The girls did as they were told and Aiba poured water over their head washing away the suds. He repeated the hair washing several times and then washed their backs as they washed their fronts. Some of their hair to be cut as some of the lugs were too large to come out as he brushed it with the comb but when he stepped back to admire his work he was proud of himself. It was cut to just past their shoulders both with almost severe fringes that came to just above their eyes. Their faces were a soft pink flushed form the hot water and shiny from the cleaning oil. He gave a smile and then wrapped them with robes from the side. They were slightly too big but they were clean and both of the girls were close to tears as their fingers moved over the soft fabric.

“Can we really wear this?” Shoko whispered shakily and Aiba smiled tying the obi securely around her waist before turning to Himeko and doing the same as he answered

“For now...We will get you some proper clothes soon but until then nobody will mind...Come on let us go to the kitchens I am sure there will be sweet breads...”

*~*~*~*~*~*

Nino hummed a soft lullaby to the three children on the bed watching the light raise and fall of their chests. Jun thought that he was crazy for taking on another child but Nino didn’t mind, he thought that a house full of children was the most wonderful idea in the world. He didn’t know when he had become this sappy but he guessed that it was the same time he became Nino-mama.

“My love?” Ohno whispered softly coming into the room a lantern in his hands and Nino smiled looking up from the boy that he had named, Kazuhiko. He hadn’t let go of his hand since he had first taken hold of it. Satoru was sleeping peacefully next the younger boy his chest raising and falling slowly as his hand curled around the other boys arm with Yuu sleeping curled up against him his hand on Satoru’s face.

“I am sorry my lord...I would retire but I do not wish for him to wake alone...” Nino murmured lightly but Ohno shook his head placing the lantern down and wrapping his robe around him. “He took some fluids earlier but it is still too early for Sho and Masaki to say if he will be healthy...”

“He will, he will pull through...He looks to be strong...” Ohno said coming to stand next to him and Nino gave a smile resting his head against his waist.

“You do not mind having another son then my lord?” He asked sighing with happiness as Ohno’s fingers moved through his hair scratching lightly at his scalp before moving down to tug at his ear.

“No...I have already told you such...I do not know how you keep finding these waifs and strays, my love but if it makes you happy...I do not mind...” Ohno breathed slowly and Nino gave a wide smile his eyes closing for a minute. “I have sent a carrier for Oshiro and his wife they will be here within a day or two...I included your letter...”

“...Do you think me cruel for suggesting that they take the boy?” Nino asked and Ohno tugged at his ear again.

“No...I think that it shows your heart...I think that they will love having the child...” He said and Nino allowed himself to relax. He had no doubt that the Oshiro’s had the ability to give Yuu the love that he needed but he was worried about how they would react. “They will love him...Do not question yourself, my love, you are doing the right thing...We get this little guy well and then we will have another member of our family...”

“And if the Oshiro’s do not take Yuu?” Nino murmured his eyes going to the figure beside his son.

“Then we will have five children but I believe we have little to fear...” Ohno said his lips finding their way to the top of his head and Nino gave a smile stroking the tiny hand.

“I guess that we shall find out when they arrive...”

I believe in no time Aiba can open both girls heart :3
That's okay Nino, I think you have done the right thing. And like Ohno said, if the Oshiro do not take Yuu, you can take him as your child ^^

Oh, Shoko xD Bad girl :DD But glad you manage to rewrite it ^^
