I offer you this

Usagi and Fuji come to also sit near him, a pile of siblings like it was meant to be. Kuroo wouldn't know where he would be if it weren't for Usagi's reliability or Fuji's driven nature. They all played a piece in the puzzle where the pieces fit together perfectly. He lets out a relaxed sigh, leaning back into Usagi just as Hanzo begins to speak. The furrow of the man's brow is nothing new, but the words cause him to furrow his own. Why was he speaking of Raijin? Hadn't they already put that mess to bed? But then his eyes flicker to Akito. The boy really had never known his father... It was a shame.

But... where were the others? Rheum, Tachi, Himawari, Buruberu, Villi, and Vei were all missing. He knew Rheum had gone off to travel Boreas, but had the offer to take the Hattori name been extended to her as well? What about Tachi? The others? His brow furrows even more. Why were they better than the other kids? Because they were still within the bamboo? Is that what made them worthy? He wasn't sure it sat well in his belly. And as Akito asks where Raijin is, he feels his heart wrench even more. How could anyone be horrible to their kids? Emotions flooded Kuroo as he sits, staring at his paws. He wants to take the Hattori name, but only if Usagi wishes too as well. Last he remembered, they still honored their mother's name which felt as important as it did the day they left Nihon.
