Christmas epilogueish

The snow fell softly to the ground, layering itself on top of more snow. There was no wind today and the sun shone brightly overhead.
- splat -
" Eeeeek, imma get you for that one Yuki! " Laughed a red haired nine year old boy, laughing, rolling some snow into his small hands to catch his sister.
" You will never get me Zai! Im faster! " Yuki ran giggling around the courtyard, her white, silvery hair flowing behind her.
- woosh -
" You missed! Hahaha! " Yuki didn't notice her brother keep running towards her as she laughed. He tackled her to the floor, pushing both of them into the snow.
They lay there, laughing and making snow angels, when suddenly Yuki's eyes widened in fear, staring into nothing and started coughing violently, clutching at her chest desperately.
" Yuki! Are you okay? " Asked Zai who stopped laughing and looked down on his sister in worry.
" We need to get inside quickly before you catch a cold. That will make your sickness worse. " Zai started helping The girl off the floor and heading into the direction of the herb shack, where all the herbs were stored for the winter to use.

He sat his sister on the wooden table while he walked around the place scanning cupboards for the right ingredients. He quickly found a small bag containing some herbs that he was looking for and took them out, placing them on the table while going to heat the water. "How comes you get all of mums traits?" pondered Yuki. Zai chuckled at his dear sister, " Well, you were really eager to learn with dad about the ways of the sword, you are so active...but that's also your weakness. Your sickness restricts you from doing anything too physical or 'that' happens, that's why I asked mum to teach me about medicine in hopes of finding something for you one day."
"Hey, you won't tell mum or dad about today right? I don't want to be restricted of going outside."
"Don't worry Yu I wont, but be careful okay? We all worry about you."
" Don't worry Zai, I will be fine" Yuki waved off his concerns with a bright smile on her face and took the mug full of...green stuff. She cringed at the sight and turned to her brother, " Uhh you know what I think-"
" No, you are drinking that no matter how horrible it looks like, and no its not poison so calm down. " The boy chuckled at the end watching his sister gulp down the hot drink in one go and making weird scrunched faces with her tongue out.
" You know what, I think we better get going, uncle Obi is probably looking for us right now " They both put on their coats and stepped into the white snow palace once more, running to get inside.

" Oh my gosh! There you are you two, Obi got so worried about losing you kids and was avoiding Zen the whole time so he wouldn't get scolded. " Shirayuki lectured her children while they looked down in shame but a mischievous smile from both of them was failed to be concealed. The mother giggled and remembered herself as a child when she would sneak out at winter to play in the snow when it was too cold.
" Oh hello hello, wife... Children " Very familiar white hair came out from behind her and rested on her shoulder followed by strong hands wrapping round her fragile being. " Hello daddy the kids greeted and smiled brightly. The perfect family shared a conversation before the kids ran if to play in their oh-so-massive bedroom. Zen chuckled lightly under his breath and turned himself and his wife down the other way of the corridor,
" Guess we could play around too for a little while, what do you say? " He smirked.
" Zen, when did you get so good with words? " She shook her head, smiling.
They both laughed and entered the bedroom in silence.

Not for long though.
