Sagawa raised a brow at the shouting happening outside the door, a look of amused askance directed towards Kadokura.

The man in question was just about to stand and sort the issue, when the door suddenly slammed open.

What an interesting turn, Sagawa thought, that the great force which the door opened, should only reveal… no one? No one he could see, at any rate. A feat given there wasn't anything especially tall in the way.

"KURA-OJI! Staff-san was mean to me!"

Sagawa didn't hide his amusement as Kadokura deflated slightly, the particular look of a man with a child-driven headache forming settling on his features.

The small girl, all frilly skirts, sharp dark eyes, and blonde bobbed hair, bounded around into sight. 

"Mio-chan what have I t-"

The glare Kadokura shot him as Sagawa cut him off was more amusing then it probably ought to have been, "Well hello there, chibi-hime. Who might you belong to?"

Those oil dark eyes turned on him, and though she was young, maybe 6 or 7 he would guess, there was a canniness there.

She eyed him for a moment, quiet, calculative. Something dawned on her, some bit of information, pieces coming together.

"Mommy doesn't like you."

Kadokura didn't bother trying to choke back the sudden laugh. Sagawa couldn't really blame him, he wouldn't have either.

Condescending, indulgent smile, he didn't let the proclamation throw him off, "Is that so?"

"She thinks you're funny. It makes her mad."

Still laughing, Kadokura reached down to pull the girl to him, an action she gave no resistance to, easily letting herself be half tossed onto the setee.

"Ah, you're Kimi-chan's girl, then."

"Mommy-chan."

Sagawa grinned and Kadokura turned his eyes to the ceiling, knowing this was going to come up again, and both dreading and delighting in the fit the woman was going to throw.

"Mommy-chan it is."

Kadokura would readily admit, if asked, that he had largely checked out of this conversation. While he talked a big game, he knew this guy had no intention of actually buying anything. He wanted to look good for the yakuza, and was using Kadokura as a prop to do so. Standard fare, but dull and trite.

The man he'd been giving maybe a third of his attention, had quickly become entirely irrelevant as he noticed the small child attempting to dart past, and he outright ignored the trepidation that crossed the man's face as he crouched to snatch the girl up.

A single smooth continuous movement, down, scoop, and back up, and Kadokura had the child perched on a hip, arm tucked under her for support.

He plucked the knife from her hand just as swift and cleanly.

"Your mother told you no. You can have it back when she leaves," he was casual, comfortable, with this turn of events.

The man he'd been talking to's eyes had stayed wide across the entire interaction, seeming to defy human physiology by widening yet more as the Tojo Chairman approached and he puzzled all the pieces together in his clearly struggling brain.

"Corrupting my child, Kenshi-san?"

He shot a grin at Daigo, "Of course not, never!" Playful sarcasm in full force.

Daigo chuckled, fond amusement obvious, and ruffled the girl's hair over Kadokura's shoulder, earning a sharp glare from the girl, and even stronger pout.

Out of the corner of his eye, Kadokura kept aware of their onlooker, entertained by how clearly the gears in that one's head had jammed.

"Make sure you teach her how to hold it properly at least."

Kadokura fought back a laugh as he gasped in exaggerated faux offense, "Daigo-chan! Who do you take me for!? As if I would ever half ass something as important as proper knife forms!"

Yakkid - Kiryu Tamae

The younger Kiryu child, and number six in the poly-verses. Was the youngest until the twins oops-ed their way into existence.

Quiet and gentle, both in nature and need. Tamae is rather shy, soft spoken, and often seemingly fragile. Her delicacy belies a fiercely loving, generous nature and surety in her beliefs. She is fierce in her stances and refuses to bend.

She's the sort to give until there is nothing left, and keep giving even then. Unfortunately she inherited her father's self sacrificing streak, and her mother does her best to teach her to temper that, and take care of herself as well.

Gets into more fights than any of her siblings, and rarely loses. If anyone were going to inherit her father's "Dragon of Dojima" title, it would be her. She's a tiny wisp of a girl, but fierce and very technically talented. She isn't afraid to use her environment to her advantage, and her opponents strength and personalities against them.

She has taken classes but still could not cook if her life depended on it. Despite her best efforts the cooking/cleaning aspects of domestic life are beyond her.

December 12th, 11:11am, birthday

An emotional upheaval results in early labor, 32 weeks. In Kiryu-exclusive timelines, this is Kiryu's choices at the end of Y6. In poly timelines, I haven't fully decided on the cause.

Wild curls, and wide eyes. She barely beats out her mother, at five foot flat, and might break 110lbs during the holidays. She's very slight in build, and often compared to a bird.

She goes into nursing with a focus on pediatrics. She has a soft spot for children and enjoys taking care of people.

Trauma for Flavor : Tamae was born a preemie and has had to handle various assorted side effects. She's otherwise been largely untraumatized. In poly timelines her birth is moved forward by several years, making her a 'quarantine baby' which may have some effect on her in the future.

So we've done one out of our four way tie on the Yakkid poll. I couldn't choose between the other three so I asked the bestie that was online, and we're getting Utano next. Expect to see her up prolly tomorrow morning.

Working on the first kid post now! It should be up shortly.

On that note.

I have kanji picked out for all their names buuuut I was absolutely winging it because I cannot actually read Japanese. I tried to cross reference several sources but I can't be 100% sure. If anyone sees this and does know better than me, and feels like looking it over for me, let me know c:
