Susumu loved visiting Hikaru-niichan and staying over in the big Kuchiki house. Not only ‘cos he got to stay overnight, sleep next to Hikaru-niichan and play with him much longer but also ‘cos there were so many things to see and do. Especially the huge fish on the ponds and the running water on the creek and also the colourful birds in their big cages; so big they could fly inside it.
As he and his Papa walked through the big red door to the house, Susumu sighted Hikaru and took off, half turning to wave goodbye at his Papa.
“Be a good boy, Susumu,” his Papa said, as always.
“I will, Papa,” he replied before joining Hikaru-niichan and both running to the garden to play.
Byakuya sat in his office-turned-resting-room - because Renji didn’t want him working out of the Sixth Division Headquarters and, although Byakuya would never tell him, he quite enjoyed the concern - his legs propped up to avoid swollen ankles and trying to catch up on his reading before his second child was born, for he knew he would lack the time afterwards if his experience with Hikaru - his first-born - was anything to go by.
The usually soothing sway of the leaves to the wind and the occasional splash of the Nishikigoi [1]on the small ponds were interrupted by a louder splash, as if something had been thrown in the water.
Getting up, and trying not to waddle, he made his way to the garden door and was greeted with an unexpected view.
Little Komamura Susumu was waist deep in one of his ponds, trying to catch an elusive and slippery fish, struggling to keep it in his small hands with little success; it wriggled, batted its tail fin and finally jumped back into the water to the boy’s dismay.
“ACK!” The small fox boy exclaimed when the fish splashed him in the face and then startled when he spotted Byakuya observing him.
“What are you doing, Susumu-kun?” Byakuya asked in what he hoped was an inquiring but not overly demanding voice while he approached the pond with the Nishikigoi and a drenched boy, wondering where his son, supposedly the boy’s host, had gone.
Susumu looked down abashed and with a pink tinge to his cheeks, but bravely replied with the truth, “I was trying to catch some of the fish, before Hikaru-niichan got here with the fishing net.”
At least now, Byakuya knew where his son was.
With an effort not to smile too widely - an effort the head of Kuchiki House was not accustomed to - Byakuya leaned down and pulled a very wet Susumu off the pond. Hoping the boy wouldn’t get sick, he quickly wiped the excess water of his tail and clothes and wrapped the boy on Renji’s pink yukata, that moments before had been on his shoulders, its now habitual place. Komamura and Tousen would have his hide, if something were to happen to this furry light of their lives.
Leaning down to look the boy in the eyes, Byakuya tried to explain why these fish weren’t supposed to be fished.
“Susumu, these fish are symbols of love and friendship to this house and its inhabitants and are in the ponds to make them more beautiful. These Nishikigoi aren’t for catching.”
Susumu looked up at him, rubbing a droplet of water from his nose and then nodded, solemn.
“Also, these fish aren’t good for eating and one doesn’t catch fish one isn’t going to eat.”
It seemed to make sense for the boy, so Byakuya added conversationally, “I believe there will be some Tekkamaki [2]for supper, shall we go get you out of these wet clothes and see?”
Holding out a hand to the boy Byakuya lead Susumu back to the house and a change to warm and dry clothes. Susumu beamed and took the hand held out to him, babbling about fish, dinner and when the new baby would be here.
