(D12 LE, Oubaihime's) My Long-eared Child

He moves closer to her and kisses her on the head, though doesn't hug her with Sora between them. "Then I'll be more improper, so you look proper by comparison."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Huh?" The kiss on her head made her blush. The girl looked at the bunny and chuckled "Sora san wants you to stay. I will not oppose the wishes of a child."

[Kitsu Murato]

"I won't argue," he replied with a smile, petting the bunny and loo. "I missed Sora so much. Though not as much as their mother."

"If you ever feel that way again, you can just come to me. I will always want to be near you, so if you feel like you need to be closer, do not hesitate. You are welcome in my arms anytime."

"I could not begin to understand why either. But I can hope that you simply missed me as much as I missed you." He kissed her forehead.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"I has been a very emotional day." She kept her hold around him. "I hate it..."
