Shiharu gets quite a shock when somebody unexpected turns up on the doorstep unexpectedly. In the events that follow she learns what it means to have a family.
She tries to catch up with him but never seems to be able to stay by his side. (Hints at spoilers for those who haven't read up until Ch.90 or so.)
There are many opinions about what makes a home. For Shiharu it was the little things, but she couldn't have predicted she would end up here. She'd accepted his offer, Nao-kun's offer that is. A story about growing up, moving on, letting go...and coming full circle. Some souls are magnetized. And some souls do what is best for you even at the cost of themselves.
She might not have her mother with her anymore… but Shiharu was grateful she had a family.
Because his love… it wasn't bound by conventions.
A short sequel to BABY REN. It's a crossover with Love so life. Kyoko met Seiji on a show and found out he had an adorable twin niece and nephew. She wanted to met them, so they arranged a play date with the twins and Baby Ren.
"That cup... I thought of it as a proof that it's okay for me to be here." Yes, all Shiharu wanted... was a place she could belong to. And the question of a single cup... can have a lot of implications... [Matsu/Naka oneshot]
