The New Life

Father & Son

Part Two

Kenji, Kyoko, and Yuya are in the living room sitting and talking about this morning with their grandmother. Both on their mothers lap and looking at her with sad faces.

Yuya place a hand on both of their cheeks and concern face on.

"I'm so sorry about this morning you two." Yuya starts.

"Why are you saying sorry?" Kenji ask his mother.

"We should be sorry to you." Kyoko ask while looking at her mother then looks away. "We- You should be ashamed of us."

Yuya has no clue what Kyoko is saying. "What do you mean?"

"Y– You have us, demon children." Kenji looks at her with really sadness in his eyes.

"We embarrass the Shiina family by being born from you and you being our mother." Kyoko continues.

Yuya looks at her children like they are crazy but after she felt very sad, so sad, she lets a tear fall out of her eye.

"OH!" She breaks down crying then grabs them into her arms. "Don't... DON'T EVER SAY THINGS LIKE THAT! You two are the treasure of my life. My world. I live for you and I won't have it any other way. I'm not ashamed or embarrass to have you. I love you." she cries harder then looks at both of them in their eyes. "I love you both, very much. You can be born with no eyes, three legs, or wings, or even horns. I will and always love you, no matter what. I will always love you. You both are my children and I don't care what other people say because it doesn't matter what they think. You are you and you can't change that. Don't ever think other wise. I love you and that's all those matte to you. And someday, you are going to grow up and have kids of your own."

"You want grandchildren?" Kyoko asks.

Yuya stops crying and smiles. "I want you two to be happy. That's all I want. To live long, live your way of life, and be happy."

"I'm going to be the best samurai there is. In the world." Kenji smiles.

'Just like his father.' Yuya giggles at her thoughts.

"I'm going to travel and be the best female bounty hunter or fashion designer like you, mommy." Kyoko smiles at her mother with joy. "Or a dancer or even a singer."

"That is nice but," she takes their hands and place them next to each other. "When I pass on. I want you two to be nice and respectful towards another. No more fighting or yelling at each other. You are brother and sister and I want you two to get alone better and talk. I won't always be here and I'll be counting on you to be together."

"Oh course you'll be here!" Kyoko hugs her mother on one side.

"Yeah, you're our mommy. You live for us so you can't die yet. We are born to be with you." Kenji hugs the other side of her mother and rubs his cheek against hers.

Both of them are mamas' children. Kenji is a mama's boy and Kyoko is a mama's girl.

Yuya hugs them back then kiss Kyoko on the cheek then heads over to Kenji but he moves away. He doesn't like kisses.

"No kisses. That's gross." he laughs while trying to get out of her arms. "No."

"I want a kiss. You're not getting out of my arms unless I get one." Yuya holds him closer to her.

"No! No! No!" He tries to get out of her arms. "Mommy, no!"

"Hold him down." Kyoko hugs him and look for a spot.

In the end, Kyoko and Yuya kiss him on each cheek. Kenji fell out on the floor, rubbing his cheeks until they turn red.

"Gross!" He rubs them faster.

There is a long moment of laughter but once it became silent, Kenji and Kyoko got down to the main point.

Kenji takes his moms hand and Kyoko points at the golden ring on her finger.

"What's this?" both children ask.

"Are you married? Getting married?" Kyoko asks.

"Why did she said your husband?" Kenji asks.

Yuya smile and takes her hand back and looks at the ring. "Relax, it's from a friend."

"It better is or we are going to have to tell daddy." Kenji folds his arms.

"Yea," Kyoko agrees.

"Hey, I'm the adult here. You can't tell me what to do, it's the other round." Yuya couldn't help but smile. "And you guys know I will never get marry without out your approval."

"Yep!" they both say.

"Now," Yuya stands to her feet and look down at them. "Both of you get ready for–

"We are dress and washed." Kyoko smiles at her.

"You said I don't have to go to school today." Kenji adds.

"All right then." Yuya feels someone watching her so she turn towards the direction to see Kyo and Shinrei. "Kenji, you left the dojo a mess, meaning you clean it."

"But mom I–

"No 'buts.' And Kyoko, you get dress in your practice gown so we can practice."

"Yes, mom." Kyoko looks at the door, runs over to Shinrei, and hugs him. "Morning, daddy."

"Morning, Kyoko."

"Hey, dad." Kenji looks at Shinrei.

"Morning, Kenji."

After, both of the children takes their leaves, Kenji outside to the dojo and Kyoko upstairs to practice. Yuya went to get wash.

Kyo takes this chance to go to his son and get to know him. He finds him in the dojo putting up weapons. And, Kenji has a interested in his sword, Tenro, he sees his son holding up Tenro and admirers its beauty.

"You want to learn how to fight with a sword like that?" Kyo steps inside the dojo, grabs a sword from the wall, and takes a attack stand. "If you want to be the best there is then you'll have to take the tittle from me."

"Talk is cheap," Kenji gets to his fighting stands as well. "Show me what you got."

Kyo laughs because he looks at Kenji like looking at him when he was little.

"I don't find anything funny,"

"Come and get some."

Kenji isn't the type to make the first move but he did this time.

Yuya and Kyoko is in the garden practicing for Kyoko's performance that starts in a few hours. Both wearing white and holding practice fans. Side by side, spinning and dancing with their fan.

"Gentle." Yuya ordered Kyoko.

"I'm being gentle." Kyoko growled.

"Come on Kyoko, go with the dance. You dance with the fan. Pretend is...Yuki."

Kyoko blushed while looking at her mother for a moment. "That's silly."

"It works."

"Then, who do you imagine you dance with?"

Yuya knew that question was coming and she still didn't have an answer for it; or that's what she thought.

"I'm dancing with you, my love."

Kyoko does what her mother tells her to and starts to dance like a gentle lady.

"That's it." Yuya throws her fan in the air and steps out the way. "Take two of them."

Before the other fan hits the ground, Kyoko watches it and starts to dance with it.

"I'll be right back. I need to take a bath, I feel dirty."

Kyoko nod her head and continuing the dance while hearing her mother leave.

Yuya decided to get wash in a outdoor hot spring where most of the maids go to wash up. The outside hot springs are better then the house because it's natural and cleaner. She put all her maids on duty to make sure no men came to take a peek at her.

The water is clear underneath and clouds of heat floats on the top because of the hotness.

Right now, she's under a small waterfall, rinsing the soap off her body, and feeling refreshed. Behind the waterfall is a small tunnel that has steam in inside that makes you hot and sweaty.

"This feel so good!" she stretch her arms out then jumps off the rocks and into the deep water.

Even though she is a assassin, not all the time she knows she's being watched. She can only not detect good ninja's or swordsman.

Her peeping tom is a man and this man decides to get in the water himself and join the fun. His name is Shinrei and he came to have some fun, clean fun.

He dived under water to find Yuya to surprise her but he didn't expect her to surprise him. He grabbed him from behind, making him a little panic, and lost air. Yuya takes him up for air.

"That wasn't nice." she said to him, inside his ear.

"Just here to check up on you."

"Yeah right, peeping Tom."

"I'm not peeping now, right? So I am no 'peeping Tom.'"

Whatever." she giggled and holds him around his waist. "We've seen each other naked before so it doesn't bother me as much."

"I came here to see if you are all right?" he turned around to look at her but only her face.

"What do you mean?"

"You know, about your mother, the talk you had with your children, and Kyo being here."

"I'm... I'm a little shacked from all of it."

"And your husband."

"My husband?"

"You know, your mother said that Mr. Ken is your husband."

"He isn't but she wishes for me to marry him."

"Because of the family?"

"Yeah, the Shiina history."

"A dark history."

"Everyone has one." she sits on a rock on the side, wear the water is low, and takes her towel to lie on top of her so he can't see her nakedness.

He placed his head on top of her lap and looks up at her. "..."

"I swear, I love your hair." Yuya touched it and makes it to a pony tail. "I love silver hair."

"I love everything about you." he sits up in the water, next to her, and move closer then before. "Your personality, beauty, talents, skills, and your hair, and eyes." he moves closer to her slowly after every word.

He was too close to her face and his lips to close to hers. Just three short words and they kiss.

"S-Shinrei." she whispered while moving closer to him.

"Yuya Shiina," he placed a hand on her cheek and his fingers tangle within her hair. "I really–

"Yuya- Sama," they heard someone call Yuya's name and made her move away from Shinrei and look at the direction. It was Tai.

Tai seemed shock and embarrassed that she just stopped them in the act like them. But, she wasn't the only one who felt embarrassed and was blushing, Shinrei and Yuya.
