Seeing him sleep made a smile grow to my face as I carried him back to the room and placed him next to Haruka. He has to be as old as log as Hyate has been dead. Never knowing his father, it hurt him only to be left alone while his brother and mother lived here, and she would do anything to see her baby boy let along get him here was another story. I thought to myself as I looked down at my locket and saw how he thought that I was almost like Lady Shiro and smiled as I left the room and as I went to my room, Raiku was still sleeping like a rock.
I laid down and hugged my rabbit, than as I was beginning to fall asleep, I felt a strong grip on me. I knew it was Raiku and with that, I fell asleep.
In the Nova Kingdom, Shiro looked over each person asleep in the house and a smile came to her face. "Well, it looks like the family bond is more strong than anything. I know well that Senente would be able to break him out of his silence." She said and Senomi nodded. "That's my daughter for you, milady. So gentle, yet so kind." "I am proud of your daughter, Senomi, remember that. After all, I did get it from you, mother." Shiro said as Senomi glanced up to Shiro to a fact that Shiro never called Senomi 'mother'

But then again she had to think it was a little funny as a joke since she said Senomi was her mother since Senente was......well the joke was pretty much right there and both women just laughed at the joke as they watched from a simple orb on the sleeping family being calm in their dreams as the night went on, Senente's new job was to help out and aid Hibiki adjust to living in Skyline and a realm that was much different than his own. Everything here was way off then what it was back home since the sun was bright and the ground was full of color, something that wasnt seen much in the Shadowlands but for him it was confusing and hard to realize it wasnt going to hurt him. Senente just let him sleep as the sun was coming to bring a brand new day but before the sun was up Haruka was already quietly awake and prepping for the day since Senente wanted her to be ready and set for her first day on the job but this was a simple chance to keep something that would help pay for food and proper clothes for her boys, so they didnt get teased by the kids at school for wearing old clothes like they were back in time. Washing her face and wrapping in a clean yukata she was ready and even had some time to prep some rice and place it in the fridge for it to be cool for when everyone else will be awake for fruit filled riceballs. Haruka made her way off the island on her own and onto inland she made her way to the small shop that was debating if she was capable of keeping up with the work, but she was determined to keep the task.

As I saw that Haruka has left for her new job, it was time that I was ready as soon, it would be Yuki;s cry to have me come get her for the first changing and feed. I personally couldn't wait till she was a bit older and I also saw that she already made rice and smiled. "I'm going to have Hibiki try some curry today. Just not alot of it." I said as I got the spices down and the smell of the chicken flavored broth woke Raiku up and he was right down stairs as I was staring to make the day's food.
____________________________________________
Haruka stood right in front of Ino, but Ino was in front of the counter. "All you have to do today is put some money in the register when someone comes to buy flowers. Now, for the prices. Haruka was handed a sheet with the prices on it. "Cut flowers are 350 yen, Planter flowers are 560 yen, hanging flowers are 470 yen. That should be easy, right?" Haruka asked as Ino nodded. "And you don't have to worry. I'll be here to help you in case of anything going wrong, but i have to get some flowers out from the green house. I'll be right back." She said leaving Haruka in the shop alone

As the family was getting back to their regular routine Haruka was doing everything in her power to keep on top of things, the yen conversion was still new to her but lucky enough it was basic numbers than in the thousands, then she would be in great trouble after that so she kept a friendly smile as she went to eachonce placing the right amount as well as remembering the prices. In her mind the job was pretty simple yet at the same time many things were in her mind like would it be enough to support the three of them though they didnt pay for rent since where they lived was abandoned and long forgotten, but there was still the smallest things like healthcare in case simple herbs were not going to be enough or if they needed things for school that she would rarely know where to get let alone the proper ones. Shaking the ideas Haruka kept working with what she had on her plate and stayed focused, it was still early morning so they wouldnt see many people to later that day. ~~~~~ As Senente was right at work cooking all the children were playing in the family room while Nasagah was making target practice with his own father as the apparent board, so far nothing was aimed correctly but the look on that man's face was worth a thousand words on what was going in his mind. Hibiki followed wherever Yuki would trot about since seeing a baby move was close to the speed he was good with around a hawk eye view from Hiroshi, doing what most big brothers should be doing in case something went bad but took his glance off for a moment dozing off in the tree long enough for him to flee away into the kitchen. He liked the smells coming from the counter and watched Senente as she mixed things around.

I smile as I see my baby girl and scoop her up and took her over to her walker. "You know better than to go in the kitchen as mommy's cooking." I said as i had a rag in my hand and wiped a little bit of dirt off her face. As I was cleaning up the table from our breakfast, I heard Nasagah shout out and threw a kunai. It missed the board and broke the kitchen window and cut a bit of my tee shirt off and a small cut appeared, but not one large enough to cause any harm. "Boys!" I yelled from the window and Raiku gave him the look that they were in trouble. I was just glad I took care of Yuki before they threw the kunai _______________________________ "Thanks for coming." Haruka smiled as she watched a man walk out and Ino turned from the fridge cut flowers and smiled. "Well, Senente was right. Looks like you have a good foundation of working. I bet we can work something out enough for you to get by." She smiled and Ino put the tarp down. "Well, it's lunch time. I'll buy." She said as she hung up her apron.

Just as soon as the boys came inside they heared foot tapping and that ment trouble, Nasagah tried to flee but Raiku was faster grabbing the collar on his shirt since if they were going to get a yelling than they would go down together. Senente looked at them and knew barely any words would be any good sonce they knew the rules of throwing weapons near the house but yet they decided to temp bending the rules and were facing the fate on them. She gave them a good yelling on how close they were to hitting the other children and how dangerous those weapons were, as they talked Raiku was trying to do a favor of kindness and tend to the small cut but it wasnt enough to save the shirt that was cut even shorter and it was one she wore constantly, now it was a baby cut. All Nasagah could do was say sorry and not throw them so close to the house but while everyone's eyes were on the situation they didnt know that Hibiki grew curious picking up the kunai in curiousity, even Yuki knew better not to touch them but from hearing how it came in the house he went by the trees they were practicing with and swung it on his finger a few times and for once since being on the island he had a perk of intrest in something. Grabbing it on his hands he threw it one good time till he head the thud on wood, a direct hit.

I knew well that we had to get the window fixed, but until Hibiki settles in we would wait not letting in anything that he might be afraid of. It was late after noon when we heard the door open than close. Hiroshi ran right up to Haruka and she smiled as she picked up Hibiki and sat down. "Welcome home, Haruka." I smile as I gave her a glass of water. "So, tell me. How was your first day?" I ask and Haruka gave me a smile.

"I have to admit it was much more easier than I thought it would be since its something I know to well and grow at my own home, the yen part however was a bit of a challenge but I managed around it. They want me back and is willing to work around my schedule till things quiet down." she said calm yet proud. Hiroshi was all smiles himself since his mother wasnt dirty from filth or upset at something she didnt want to do but was smiling at being around flowers and plants, it was something good as Haruka held Hibiki as he tugged on his kimono a little with major wear and tear. Hiroshi did his best to keep it tied but eventually Raiku came down with a old pair of school clothes Nasagah had outgrown. "They might be a tad lose but these were my son's old clothes....they'll be good till you can go out and get some outfits in time." Haruka thanks him as she tried to take Hibiki's clothes off but that was more of a challenge as he squirmed to break free, but like most mothers she got the upper hand popping his head into the neck hole and smiled again patting his head at the fact he was starting to look a little human bit by bit, just a little more time.

As we got dinner Around Haruka was telling me what all she did when it came to the job that she was given. "At first Ino explained to me what I will be doing at the start, than she let me try a bit while she put more cut flowers into the cooler. As the day went on, I got a few costumers and it was going really easy. Ino said that if I do a good job with in the next week, she'll pay me" "Well, Haruka, that's the best part of a job. You get the money that you work for, but Ino will give you a small amount until you work your way up, and with each job well done, you will be able to get better pay." I said to her as we sat down the plates and I gave the yell of dinner as i pulled out the main course of a nice ham and Raiku was helping serve the kids with the noodles and the corn

Most of the time the kids usually saw chicken or fish on the table but ham was a specialty meal whenever something was good or a great occassion was happening, since Haruka had her job go well it was considered an occassion to celebrate. As they all sat down for dinner a little sitting chnage had happened with the additional guess, Raiku was normally the one by Yuki's highchair but this time around he changed things for a reason, since the spoon flinging inccident was going on he knew it would be a matter of time that she would be in the act of throwing her food whenever she was bored and in need of attention or just because it was food she didnt reconize by taste.....he didnt want to be in the crossfire but Senente was the new vicum this time around. She looked at the cut up noodles and veggies and gave a little look to them since though they were cut up it was still different for her, taking it as a joke she ate a little bit chewing on some noodles but Raiku was able to see the little smile on her face and knew it right on the spot that was the troublemaking smirk she had in the past and before he knew the first assault of noodle were flug with a giggle right into Senente's head as a little of the butter dripped from her bangs.

Everyone looked over at me as the yellow dripped in my hair and I just laugh about it but take the rest of Yuki's trey and put it in a small bowl. "Well, we know not to let you have it on your trey just yet, sweetie." I said as I went over to the sink and began to clean the butter out of my hair and went back down to eat as all of it was now pulled back and I was feeding Yuki her dinner of corn and rice and she was so busy being proud of her self for a normal task she would do any other time.

Then again babies would be babies if it ment having some food flung around and hit mommy or daddy in the head, but it was all in good fun as she figured it as a acheivment and mommy had to take back control by feeding each spoonful and taking it like a good child. Dinner was still going on as everyone was enjoying the food even Hibiki was putting a tiny smile on since it tasted very good to him then the food since food back home was either barely even much to taste or something so foul it couldnt be eaten, this stuff was freash food and it tasted wonderful like food was a brand new thing, but kept his good manners with him eating bite by bite to taste everything just enough to fill his belly. Haruka made sure he had enough to eat sitting right by him and watching as the food on his plate started to disappear. After dinner Haruka and Hiroshi decided to do the dishes for Senente and Raiku since they did so much for them and wanted to put their own weight in the house while the other children were playing in the livingroom.

As Raiku and I watched the kids, he was just reading a little as for me, I was crawling on the floor with all the kids on my back as they tried to pin me down and I was having too much fun with all the kids. Raiku looks up, smirks, than looks back in the book.
Nasagah was finally able to get all the way on my back and bring me down as Fang came in as well as Hibiki and Everest, than Yuki was on and I was trying to get them all off and it was like I was doing push ups as Nasagah grabbed one of my legs. I looked up at Raiku and I saw a smile come to his face and I began to laugh as I began to tickle Nasagah

It did truely became a tickle fight among the family and everyone was all laughs asfun became more of the activity than the worries of what was to come, everyone was happy with their leisure life as the time went one and it was actually impressive that Raiku was actually reading something that was considered a form of paper book than he would get from watching the news on the television, then again with Senente being the one attacked by the children it was a bit of a break from having his back get broke from all the children playing. Thay all wanted to play longer but soon the clock started to chime nine times, the time for the most youngest to be ready for bed as Fang picked Yuki up by his mouth and carried her up the stairs for Senente. Normally Senente was hesitent about him using his mouth to care for Yuki but then again he was a trained boy and was good around babies so she let him go ahead and help put as she let out a yawn and was asleep as soon as they were up in her nursery. While she was sent to bed it was time to set the other children up to be quiet for the late hours coming out, but somehow Hibiki was restless unable to sit still as he went from room to room looking outside as if he was going to be hunted. Though he was in a safe place something was bothering him to make him whine going back and forth scared as his night terrors were coming back in his head. Like a veteran soldier out of war his mind was plagued by the nightmares and horror of having to transfer from one place to another and his life at the orhanage was harsh for some time.

As I stayed up late, I saw that Hibiki was acting a bit out of the ordinary. He was so happy at dinner, but right now, he was acting like some one was after him. I called him over with some warm mint tea and sat him next to me. "my dear, Hibiki, what worries you?" I ask to have him look up to see my eyes blue and Shiro was in control of my body.
Maybe having him talk to the goddess he worships would comfort
