The mood was instantly lightened with the little girl innocently playing in her father’s hair and nibbling on a bag of almond cookies her grandfather had just given her. In the other room, Suigintou let her white yukata fall to the floor and grabbed a kimono her mother-in-law Saiyuko had given her. Before she had time to put on the under layer of the kimono, a knock was at the door. She sighed lightly and pulled the top layer of the yukata and walked to the door, smiling warmly at her sudden guests.
“Hello Lelouch.”
“Hello Lady Suigintou.”
“Just call my Sui, could you help me with something?”
“Uhh, sure, what might that be?”
“Not you, C.C.”
C.C. stood behind Lelouch in a kimono similar to the one Shinobu had been wearing all day. She giggled and motioned C.C. to follow her upstairs.
“That’s a child’s kimono dear.”
“It’s the only one I own.”
“That simply won’t do, you can wear one of mine.”
“These are very expensive though.”
“You forget, the Shogun is my husband”
The girls stripped down to nothing and began t rummage through Sui’s closet, meanwhile, Lelouch was locked in a staring contest with a little girl, whom which this day would be pointless without.
“Konichiwa.”
“Hello.”
“I’m Shinobu Takeda.”
“I’m Lelouch Lamperouge, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Likewise Lulu, hehe.”
Lelouch smiled lightly, looking down at the girl in her formal kimono, she seemed innocent enough, and her demeanor was quite warm. The only backside was that she was accompanied by the two tigers, who stood over her as if she was a royal cub. Kai palced his hand ontop of the girls head and smiled lightly, his demonic crimson hues meeting with her almost angelic blue ones.
“Kora papa.”
“Hey hun, go outside and play, I think there’s a present out there for you.”
“Really!?!?”
“Yeah, hurry up and go get them.”
“Ok!!”
Shinobu Ran outside, then Kai and Lelouch locked eyes.
