"We're home!"
Yuna, Darren, and Yuriko turned watching as an excited Sachiko now bounded into the house. Yuna smiled, rushing to hig the kit. "Sachiko," she exclaimed happily.
"Yuna," Sachiko said in surprise. "Wow, how are you?"
"I've been good," she smiled. Yuna now pulled away, tussling the kits fur as she studied her carefully. "My goodness I think you've gotten taller."
"So have you," Yuna chuckled, the young woman now turning to smile at Sachikos parents. Akira and Ayami giving the young woman a warm smile. "Yuna this is a surprise," Akira stated.
"Also congratulations," Ayami added. "How long until the baby is born?"
Akira now gave his wife a confused look before she answered. "Angel if maternity remember," she smirked. "I can tell when a woman's pregnant."
"Still have a way to go," Yuna stated. "Now wheres Rexie? Want to know how my favorite mischievous cherub is doing."
Yuna gasped as a chubby white tabby now lept into Yuna lap. The woman now scratching the cat under the chin. "Hey Rexie didn't see you come in."
"No one ever does," Rexie grinned. "Thats how I get away with raiding the fridge. So how long you going to be in town?"
"Probably a week," Yuna stated. "My husband is touring the middle school. They want to see how the Soul Drives work first hand."
Akira, Ayami, and Rexie now shifted in place, a concerned expression crossing their faces. None of them had ever met Yunas husband. "Does he know about us," Rexie asked.
"No was going to make the introduction today," Yuna replied. "I mean I've told him about you guys, just never what you were exactly." The trio now exchanged a dubious look among themselves, wondering how Yuna's husband would react.
Twenty minutes later, Yuriko, Darren, and the others watched as a car pulled into the driveway. The group watched as a tall, handsome man now exited the vehicle as he began to walk towards the house.
"Well he's handsome," Ayami shrugged. "Kinda looks like Anthony Mackie."
"Who," Yuna replied.
"Old actor he played Captain America."
Yuna nodded, nervously biting her lip as her husband approached. "Maybe this was a bad idea," she said softly
"Nonsense," Yuriko said. "I'm sure everything will be fine. Now why don't you go talk with him." Yuna took a deep breath, stealing herself as she now exited the house to meet her husband.
Dashon smiled, hugging his wife tightly as she jumped into his arms. "Hey honey how's your grandma doing?"
"Shes good," she said. "How was the tour?"
"Impressive," Dashon said. "You'd be amazed by what these Soul Drives can do. No wonder this school is one of the best rated public schools in the country. Did you know they actually have a group of teenagers teaching the classes? The kids are geniuses too! Brand new to the job and I think they might be better at it than I am."
"Thats great honey," Yuna said happily before pausing. Dashon, sensing his wife's apprehension, now paused as he critically studied her. "Whats the matter?"
"Nothing."
Dashon raised an eyebrow, giving his wife a critical look. "You know you suck at hiding anything honey now what is it?"
"Okay," she sighed. "You remember thise friends of the family I mentioned? They're here."
"Yeah I remember," Dashon stated. "What was the guys name Akira? Friend of tour grandmas am I right?" Yuna nodded as they now entered the house. As the couple now walked into the living room, Dashon paused, his eyes going wide as he gazed at a pair of kitsune and an angel.
"You must be Yunas husband," Akira stated before bowing. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance." Dashon tried to stammer a response, shocked to see a six foot fox man, a blue skinned angel, and a smaller white fox girl. The man now watched as a fat white tabby cat now approached, standing on its hind legs before placing its paws on it hips.
"Whats matter buddy," Rexie smirked. "Cat got your tongue?"
That was all it took, Dashon now swooned before fainting. Yuna now rushing to her husband's aid as she glowered at Rexie. "Was that really necessary," she hissed.
"What," Rexie exclaimed. "Not my fault he doesn't have a sense of humor." Yuriko and Darren now exchanged a look before sighing, this was not how they wanted thw initial introduction to go.
