Playground"Ow!...Oonakayama Takefusa...ya don't go and pull on my hair..."
Poking the small child's face, Arashi would set the child back down into his small basket, her eyes narrowed before allowing a small smile to cross her lips as the boy seemed more than pleased with himself at getting a small hit upon his older sister.
"Kami don't end up like Set...last thing I need is ya thinkin I'm a push over..."
It wasn't much for the girl to look after her baby brother in her mother's absence. If anything, she was used to it in helping to take care of Setsuna when they were much younger. With the older female currently on assignment, both her, Set, and her father were on baby duty. This meant that Set and Arashi had to do much of the dealings with Takefusa day to day, while their father handled matters upon his return from the office as it were.
Sadly though, this did cut into some of her training time.
Arashi could feel that she was getting closer and closer to master more of Shukaku's power. That one small taste, along with the events of Sekara, had proven that for the most part, she could handle it. Though there was still a barrier there that she couldn't get passed. Like the idea of losing control and nearly killing Asahi and perhaps those men had back up not arrived when it did.
That wasn't an option, and she had to manage that somehow. Though for now, her focus was set upon keeping the baby from chewing on anything aside from toys and currently...
"What the...Don't chew on that!"
Taking hold of what looked like a bone, the girl would narrow her eyes as she looked to the side to see Ai having managed to perch his paws up on the edge of the stroller, his body leaning over the side as his head peeked down to the infant and then at Arashi with his cheerful expression.
"Seriously Ai? Thats not for a baby...thats for a dog..."
Thankfully, the recreational area within the village had little that would hurt the young prince. Still, the last thing she wanted was for Take to chip a tooth before he even had a full set.
Releasing a breath, she'd toss the bone to the side for Ai to retrieve, leaving her to once again return to the book within her hand. Taking time for reading would just have to do for the moment, at least she was exercising something today.
This time it was on some more advance Sealing techniques. Perhaps something that could be experimented upon down the road. The teen had some ideas of what she'd go with, as she had already proven that her sand was capable of taking on the curse marks of her flesh and holding the patterned symbols upon the surface. Maybe she could use this in a combination of sorts...once she figured it out.
Her hand resting upon her forehead, she'd hear the child start to cry, her eyes looking over to him before picking him up and setting him upon her lap.
"I'm not mom ya know? Ya ain't gettin all my attention every time ya cry..."
Raising her brow, she'd feel his head lay down against her chest, eyes closing as he nestled into her.
"Good grief...this is why I'm never havin kids.."
Despite her declaration of this, her blank expression would start to fade as her smile came over her, gently brushing her fingertip against his cheek before lifting the book yet again to her face while looking along the passages.
