Time: After “Pesadilla”

Dinner Negotiations

Yusuke pulled the rest of the leftovers out of the microwave once sure they were cooked. “At least I don’t have to worry about starving while Keiko’s out with the girls tonight.” He looked over at Reia, who had paused in her coloring to look at the silly puppets on the TV. “Dinner’s almost done. Do you want milk, or apple juice tonight Reia?”
“Apple juice Daddy.” She resumed her coloring, seeing the puppets give way to a commercial.
“Mommy should be home soon, but we can show her we can do fine on our own, right?” He watched her merely nod, too captivated by adding color to her picture. Without her seeing, he used some of his spirit energy to warm up the potatoes that had gotten a little chilly. Not that she had never seen him use his energy before, and it wasn’t as if she didn’t have some control over her own. He just didn’t want her thinking it was all right to use when it wasn’t absolutely necessary. No need to really reheat this in the microwave for just a few seconds. Once happy with the temperature, he put that and the pre-cut chicken on the dining room table. “All right Reia, come eat.”
When she hopped up into her seat, she looked at what her father was putting on her plate. “Yucky potatoes!”
“Oh stop, they’re good for you. They’re like nature’s glue!”
“Ew! I don’t want to eat glue!” She pushed the plate away from her, making Yusuke roll his eyes.
How would Hiei scare the shit out of his kids into eating? After thinking a bit, a small smile cracked on his face. “Y’know, there’s demons on the other side that just love eating kids that don’t eat their potatoes.”
Reia paled. “N-nuh-uh, you’re making that up Daddy!”
“Oh but it’s true. I’ve met a few of them. They say the kids are extra tasty because of the lack of the starch. It doesn’t upset their stomach.” He saw her lip tremble before she started wolfing down the potatoes, pushing them down with the apple juice. Score one for Dad, he chuckled, sitting down himself to eat.

Keiko came home a few hours later just as Reia was heading off to bed. “Were you a good girl for Daddy today?”
Reia nodded. “And I ate up all my potatoes, so the demons can’t eat me!” After that, she skipped off to her room to sleep.
Keiko rounded on Yusuke, who was relaxing in the living room. “Did you really tell her demons would eat her if she didn’t eat!”
He saw her preparing for a slap to his face, so he waved his hands in front of him, calling for a time-out. “Not like I could’ve used the human one ‘If you don’t eat, I can just take it to the starving child down the street’. That one she wouldn’t have fallen for. Since she knows demons exist of all shapes and sizes, well it seemed like it’d work.” He paused before adding, “She’s not traumatized.”
“Only because she knows there’s good demons too, like the girls I was just out with! You want Reia to start thinking people like Sukuna, Kitsu, Hyouga, or even Sha will eat her?”
“Keiko, relax! She knows that the ones we allow near her are harmless. It was just a little joke to get her to eat something she doesn’t like.” He patted the cushion next to him. “Now put those bags down and sit. Her sanity is still intact.”
She did put the bags down, but didn’t move. “I don’t know what to do with you sometimes.”
“Ok, you want to see mental toughness? Ask Hiei how he handles his two that try to get out of eating something. My story of a demon eating her is less harsh than his story of ‘The monstrosity of a neighbor will come and eat their souls in the middle of the night’ don’t you think? And their neighbor is a large demon.”
“Well, I guess you’re right.”
“Exactly. Now get your ass over here and relax. I’m sure you want to chew my ear off with interesting stories of the day.”
With a small smile, she complied, and proceeded to tell him all the highlights of the day.

“But I don’t want to eat the potatoes Daddy!” Tsunada wailed. “They’re nasty!”
Kiete had already learned by now to just eat what their dad heated up, and not make a fuss.
“Do you want me to go next door and tell Shenda that he’ll have a nice tasty soul to eat tonight?” Hiei said, having had quite enough of his two hellions that day.
“No…” Tsunada squeaked out.
“Then eat what’s in front of you.”
Just then, the front door opened and Sha came in, dropping a few bags from her day out.
“Mommy, don’t let Daddy tell Mr. Shenda I won’t eat my potatoes!”
Sha visibly rolled her eyes. “He won’t unless you don’t eat.”
Tsunada proceeded to eat in the same fashion as Reia, before darting into her room and closing the door.
“Funny how she’s still falling for that,” Kiete said before excusing himself to his own room.
Sha laughed. “Well at least one is eating without having the shit scared out of them. I hope they weren’t too much for just you.”
He arched a brow. “I grew up as a thief, around ruthless killers and rapists. I became a soldier, eventually. I think I can handle a few hours of pain-in-the-ass children.”
“Mm, I think they get the pain-in-the-ass part from you.”
“Whatever helps you sleep at night.”
