Lord Ohno's Home part 44
Aiba hummed happily as he walked through the streets of the town. He knew that he was attracting looks but for the first time he couldn’t bring himself to care. His scars had faded down but like Ohno’s they would always be there as a reminder of what happened to him. Shoko, Himeko and Hotaru were walking beside him talking about Hotaru’s past as a maid in the palace and the fact that the Ohno’s had taken her in. She raved about her papa, and then told them about all the things that they would see in the village. Aiba noticed that she still didn’t seem to be as close to Nino as Satoru was but he could tell that she loved and admired her other papa as much as she did Ohno.
“Mama-Nino brought my first clothes from over there...” She said now nodding with her head towards a drapers in the distance. Aiba’s coin purse wept at the look of the place, Sakurai had given him some coins before he had left for the village but they were simple healers and the people of the village rarely paid with money for their potions. Food, wine and even clothes were the normal method of payment, the only people that paid in coins were Ohno, Nino and Fuwa had given them some when he had helped with the smooth delivery of her baby girl. It had been a difficult birth and had lasted for three long days but eventually she and her partner were the proud parents of a screaming baby girl they had named Nozomi. Aiba had told them both that he didn’t need paying but Fuwa had growled with all the strength that she had left and had given him the coins. Those coins had been given straight to Sakurai who had put them away for a rainy day, he supposed it was those coins that were now laying in his coin purse. He and Sakurai weren’t wealthy like Nino and Ohno and he was worried that the girls thought they were. He was suddenly terrified of what their reactions would be when they went home and saw that instead of a castle they would be living in the small house that had been recently rebuilt.
“Papa is everything okay?” Himeko asked softly her hand squeezing his and Aiba smiled with as much enthusiasm as he could muster.
“Sorry! I was thinking about monkey!” He said knowing that a little white lie had never hurt anyone. The twins smiled, well Himeko did Shoko rolled her eyes her cheeks a little flushed. Hotaru’s eyes narrowed for a minute fixing on his face and Aiba squirmed under the look and said quickly “So shall we go?”
“Yes...” Himeko giggled happily falling into step beside him and her hand still holding his. The guards around them parted the crowd and although they were there for Hotaru Aiba was glad that they made it easy for him to keep an eye on his girls. The shop was filled to the brim with glorious fabrics in the brightest colours imaginable. Growing up in the Garden Aiba was used to it but the twins breaths caught and they both let out gurgled sounds.
“Hotaru-sama, how pleasant to see you in my shop once more...” A woman dressed in light browns and dark greys said bowing politely at them all “Is your father not with you today?”
“I am shopping with my uncle Masaki and my cousins...” Hotaru said and Aiba had to give Nino and Ohno credit for one thing, her confidence was higher than it had been when she had first come to the shop.
“Of course...Aiba-sama you are most welcome...” The woman said with a gracious smile and another bow. Aiba was surprised that his name was known but Nino had already told him that the towns folk had been having a field day with gossip he guessed he must have been included in that “And these are your daughters...Such pretty children...”
“Thank-you...We are hoping to buy some clothes...” Aiba said mentally groaning with how stupid he sounded. Of course they wanted clothes they were in a clothes shop if they wanted anything else they would have come to the wrong place. “Um...For my daughters...”
“Of course...What type of styles would you be looking for?” The woman smiled showing no signs that he had said anything strange or unusual
“Um...You will have to ask them...” Aiba said scratching his head discreetly, in all honesty he knew about styles he had been taught it and he knew what would look good on his girls but he thought that they would prefer the choice. Himeko and Shoko made startled noises as the woman rounded on them and they both huddled closer to him for some kind of protection.
“Such pretty girls need the finest silks...Flowered patterns with tigers...”
“That wouldn’t be very useful would it?” Shoko said suddenly her lisp cutting over the woman that was holding up a bright emerald fabric that had the tiniest pattern of cherry blossoms. It was lovely and it would suit both of his girls but as Shoko said it wasn’t very practical. As much as he would be dressing them up as princesses during festivals and things if they were to be helping out simple outfits would be best.
“The fabric is beautiful, madam, and I would like it for a festival outfit but the girls will be helping my partner and myself prepare and gather ingredients something pretty but practical would be nice...” Aiba said softly and he could feel the relief coming off of Shoko as well as the mild disappointment that came from Himeko. “But I would like several outfits like that too...Just so we can show off the beauty of my daughters...”
“Of course sir...Then perhaps an outfit similar to your own but in lighter shades...” The woman hummed pushing the pretty fabric away and then darting around the room like a humming bird gathering nectar.
By the end of their time in the store the girls had ten outfits each and there were only two coins left in his purse. He didn’t mind too much when he saw their happy faces, though he was tempted to warn them it would be the last things they got for a while. His threat would have been needless because as soon as they left the shop their eyes fell onto wood crafts man cart. Himeko’s eyes were drawn to a wooden doll with a painted face while Shoko’s went to the statue of a samurai painted in bright colours. Aiba watched them for a minute and then silently said goodbye to his coins before strolling forwards and taking the two toys handing over the coins to the man.
“Here you are...” He said and Himeko’s eyes welled with tears as she hugged the doll to her chest. Shoko’s reaction was more subdued but the smile and the shine in her eyes was more than enough thanks. They hugged the toys tightly and made their way back to the palace. Himeko’s hand stayed latched onto his the whole way and even Shoko came closer to his side so the doll was hitting his arm with each step. When they arrived at the main entrance Miura was waiting and Hotaru gave them all a smile and ran over to her betrothed linking their arms tightly. “I should check on Kazuhiko you should change into your new clothes and then come find me...Okay girls...”
“Yes papa!” Himeko said straight away taking her doll and the guard that was following with their packages and running towards the room that they were sharing. Shoko hung back for a while, studying the samurai doll before muttering
“It’s okay...I think that maybe I won’t mind so much...”
“Mind what, little monkey?” Aiba asked with a smile aware of how blushing and shy she was. She would never be the quiet girl like Himeko was but he didn’t mind that as long as she felt safe and happy he would take her however she came.
“Being your little monkey, I think that maybe it will be okay...” Shoko muttered and then to Aiba’s surprise and delight she darted over to him and threw her arms around his waist in a tight hug before running away as fast as her little legs would take her.
