Thanks always to my wonderful Beta reader @rsrdiall

12 years later.

"Are you two nearly ready yet?" Kuon called walking down the corridor towards the rooms of his daughter and son. Popping his head around Shinko's door he knocked gently.

"You nearly ready princess?" he asked the young girl sitting before the vanity mirror.

"Daddy can you please help me plait my hair?" Shinko asked a little exasperated that she was unable to braid the long s, shimmering black tresses herself. Kuon smiled. Walking over to her carefully and did as requested. Brushing her long black hair out, he began plaiting it. Looking up into the mirror, he smiled at his daughter who looked so much like her mother, her honey golden eyes shimmered as she smiled at him. Finishing off the plait she passed him the golden ribbon to tie off the end.

"Thanks daddy!" she said standing, then turning and kissing him on his lowered cheek.

"You're welcome cupcake. Now do daddy a favour will you?" he asked holding out his silver cuff links. they were his favourite that Shinko and Kibou had brought him last year for his birthday. They were in the shape of two little stars which they had happily told him were him and Mommy, though Kuon thought they could also represent his children.

"OK Daddy." she said smiling as she deftly hooked in both cufflinks.

"Shin!" Kibou called entering the room. He too appeared to be struggling with his cufflinks, his blond hair looking as if he had been running his hand through it hung over his sparkling blue eyes a little as he looked at his father and sister.

"Can you help me with these?" he asked, holding out his own silver cuff links.

Shinko smiled at them both. "Really what am I going to do with the pair of you?" She asked hands on her hips just like she had seen her Auntie Kanae do so many times when telling of her mother and even her father from time to time.

"Honestly, come over here then." she called him forwards and Kibou smiled at her in a way that made most women swoon, he was definitely his father's son. When all the cufflinks were in place, their suits and bowties straightened, Kuon looked at his two children.

"OK then lets take a look at you." he said as they stood next to each other. Even though they were twins they looked so different. The world had been amazed by the two miniature replicas as they had been named. Shinko was all Kyoko whereas Kibou was all Kuon. Looking at Shinko standing there before him in her golden ball gown with small wedge heeled sandals, and then Kibou in his small tuxedo he couldn't help the pride that swept over him.

"You both look wonderful." he declared happily as he pulled a camera out from his back pocket.

"Now smile and say cheese!" he said, snapping a picture of his two children together.

"You know what your mom's going to say, don't you?" he asked with a smile on his face as Kibou sighed and Shinko giggled.

"Kuon are we ready yet?" they heard Kyoko ask as she entered the doorway to the bedroom.

Kuon looked up at his beautiful wife who looked stunning in a knee-length black dress. Ayame, their 9 year old daughter, held her hand. Dressed beautifully in a midnight blue gown, her blonde hair and golden eyes sparkling as she smiled at him, while Momoko aged 4 was resting on Kyoko's hip in her pink gown.

"Daddy." Momoko said reaching out for Kuon.

As Kyoko placed her on the floor, she ran over to Kuon begging to be picked up once more. her black hair and blue eyes shining.
