"Papa you have to move faster next time!" she huffed in a perfect, indignantly constructed tone that wonderfully matched his own. At the extraordinarily pleased look on Hiyoko's face he couldn't help but smile a bit himself, placing his hands at her short hair and curling his fingers in the blonde locks.īehind them Anna, who was now on Sakuya's shoulders (whom looked as grumpy as he ever was going to be), thumped her hands against her Father's head. "GOOOOOOOOAL!" At the sound of his Mom's victory cry he was brought lower and received a kiss to the nose. The ball was tossed languidly to the ground, behind the bag. "Aki! Throw the football down now, before they get to us!" Slowly he peeled his hand off of his face and looked down to the see the bag that made up his Father and sister's goal. Suddenly the whole thing stopped and he felt himself being jerked forward somewhat from the momentum of suddenly halting. He heard from behind them the sound of clothing being ruffled and Anna demanding, "Papa pick me up too!" Though his Maman wasn't all too tall it was still a bit scary being so high from his height! She heard Sakuya give out a shocked, "Hiyoko!"Īkito squealed in surprise (and a touch of fear) before wailing out loud as Hiyoko went flying down the yard with him held high over her, clutching the football to his chest with one hand while the other went to his face, covering up his eyes as he trembled in his Mother's firm grasp. The two would easily be able to catch up with his lacklustre movements and with that thought in mind, Hiyoko quickly developed a plan, speeding herself up and swooping down, grabbing her son-Īkito looked briefly over his shoulder. Hiyoko trotted after him, Sakuya going after as well.

The boy was still rather slow compared to his sister, who gained her Maman's quick pace. In a surprising show of unusual quickness, Akito went bumbling for it and snatched it off the ground before moving the other way. She went speeding down their vast backyard, before stumbling slightly, pin wheeling for a moment before the ball went flying out of her hands. A bag signified the goal lines.Īfter a coin flip it was deemed that Anna would first take the ball. It would instead be kind of like of a game of opposite tag - if one was touched by a member of the opposing team they had to hand over the ball. Both Annabelle and Hiyoko were absolute beasts at tackling (Sakuya knew this firsthand for both ladies) and they didn't want either of the men to be harmed, particularly little Akito. They agreed on certain rules no tackling, for one. Neither Sakuya nor Akito knew how they managed to get rounded into a game of football.
