Risk [An Uzui Tengen Story]

[15] Epilogue

[Chapter C/W: None]

"Tengen! Everyone will be arriving soon! Did you grab the sleeping beauty?" Kohaku says corralling the wild silver haired toddler who refuses to wear clothes.

"Yeah, did you catch the little monster?" Tengen say chuckling from the other room.

"Yeah. This little wiggle worm is not going to be naked for the party." She says pulling the toddler on her lap and quickly sliding a shirt on him.

"No mommy!" Katsumi whines.

"Yes Katsumi. You have to wear clothes." Kohaku says pulls the pants up on the toddler.

"But uncomfy!" Katsumi protests.

"Listen, after everyone leaves, you can be naked all you want, ok?" She says.

"Ok!" He agrees.

Kohaku was wondering if he'd keep his end of the bargain before the day was over. Tengen comes out from the girls' room with the newest member of the Uzui family who was usually just as wild as her older brother was sleeping soundly on his shoulder. Tengen swayed gently, letting the child rest before the company arrived. The small blonde ombre haired fuchsia eyed girl was the reason for today's party, to celebrate her first birthday. It was a chilly February day; seems like just the other day they brought the baby girl home. It's hard to believe. The time had already flown by as it had. Tamami was now 9 and a fourth grader, Katsumi was three and full of energy, and the youngest, Tsukimi, was turning one today.

The doorbell went off and Kohaku got to her feet after dressing the small boy and opened the door.

"Come in!' She says coming back up the stairs.

Kyojuro, Kurumi, Riku, and the youngest Rengoku, a little boy named Renka, made their appearance.

"Tamami! Riku is here!" Kohaku calls to the oldest child.

Tamami runs down the stairs with he now long silver hair up in a ponytail.

"Hey Ri-chan! She says with a smile on her face.

"Tama-chan!" Riku smiles back.

The smaller black-haired red eyed boy was quick to leave his parent's sides and join the smaller blonde ombre haired boy playing with some toys in the living room.

In the three years that have past, Kohaku and Tengen married about 6 months after their engagement, while Kyojuro and Kurumi got married just about 2 and a half years ago.

The bell went off a second time and Kohaku was quick to run back down the stairs and grab the door. This time it was her four close friends, Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, and Zenitsu.

Upon seeing Inosuke, Katsumi runs over to the green eyed boy hugging his leg. The two had become close, ever since he has been able to cause trouble.

"Uncle Ino!" Katsumi says looking up at him smiling.

"Hey squirt." He says ruffling his hair.

"Play!" Katsumi says dragging Inosuke over.

It was moments later that Inosuke was playing something that looked like monster attack with the two small boys.

"Don't break anything or anyone please." Kohaku says giggling.

It warmed her heart to have all of her close friends here. It was a rare occasion for all of them to be able to get together. They all had their own lives to attend to at this point. They always made time for important events though.

The small Tsukimi woke with yawn as all the adults began to chatter and the kids play. It wasn't long before the child was fully awake and wiggling to get out of her father's grasp Everyone decided it was time to begin the festivities.
