Summary: Mika and Tohma's daughter wants to play hair shop with Tohma while Mika is out grocery shopping.


Tohma glanced up from his work to watch Mika hurry about. First she was in the kitchen, looking through the fridge, then she was by the couch, grabbing her purse and shoving her keys in it, finally she was at the door, putting her shoes on. Tohma stood then, frowning slightly.
“Mika-san…” She turned to look at him. “Are you going somewhere?”
“Just to the store,” she answered, kissing him quickly. “I’ll be back soon. Make sure to take care of Kaori.” With that, she pulled the door open and left. Tohma sighed and sat back down on the couch before glancing up toward the stairs. He hadn’t really been alone with their five year old daughter in quite a long time-Mika had always been there with them. Soon enough, the girl came bounding down the stairs.
“Where’s mommy?” she asked, glancing about the living room.
“She went to the store,” Tohma told her with a kind smiled. “She’ll be home soon.” Hopefully she would because Tohma realized that he needed to get to work quite soon.
“Okay…” she paused. “Daddy?”
“Yes, Kaori?” he glanced down at her.
“Can we play something?” Tohma set his paperwork down and nodded.
“Well… all right. What would you like to play?”
“Hair shop!” she bounced up and down, giggling.
“Hair shop?” he asked, the distinct feeling of dread washing over him, with the sudden realization that he would probably regret agreeing to anything. “You want to… play with my hair?” She nodded.
“Is that okay?” she asked, pouting. Tohma hesitated a moment before nodding slowly.
“Yes, that’s fine,” he told her, forcing out his trademark smile. He might as well finish up his work while she played with his hair. Kaori squealed with delight and ran up to her room. When she came back down she was carrying a little pink box with hair ties, ribbons, berets, and brushes. She scrambled up and sat behind him on the top of the couch. She then set to work on his hair. She attempted to be gentle, but ended up tugging on his hair quite a bit. It didn’t take her too long to finish, which was quite fortunate. She hurried back down and smiled widely, surveying her handiwork.
“You look beautiful, daddy!” she exclaimed, clapping her hands.
“Do I?” he rose an eyebrow, grinning. He would have gotten up to go look in a mirror, but at that precise moment, Mika entered the house with bags of food in her arms.
“Tohma, Kaori, I’m home,” she announced, shutting the door behind her with her foot.
“Mommy!” Kaori followed as Mika set the bags down in the kitchen. “Look at daddy! Look at daddy!” Mika rose an eyebrow, mirroring Tohma’s expression earlier and left the kitchen. Tohma glanced back at his wife with a smile. At that point, it seemed as if she had to work a great deal not to laugh. Tohma made a face at her, which only allowed her to lose her control and burst into a fit of giggles.
“He looks wonderful, Kaori,” Mika told her with a smile. “Could you please go put the groceries away?” The five year old nodded and went to the kitchen to do as her mother asked.
“I don’t see what’s so funny,” Tohma told her with a slight smile. Mika walked up to him, still trying to control her laughter and kissed him.
“Nothing,” she said, wrapping her arms around his neck. “You just look amazingly sexy in pigtails.”
