"Good morning, Ms. Sakura..." The brunette girl had slept through the entire night and the couple had checked in on her occasionally. "Ah, good morning. How was your sleep?"

"It was great! I haven't slept in a bed for a while." the girl answers enthusiastically. "Do you need help with cooking? I want to say thank you for letting me stay a night."

"You can cook?" Sakura asks, giving her a small smile as she turned the stove on low. "My parents never made me food, they gave me left overs so I tried to learn a few things."

"Wait, how old are you again?" Sakura asks and the girl holds up five fingers. "I'm five!"

Before Sakura could speak again, Kioshi walks into the kitchen with a smile. "Good morning." He leans in and places a kiss on Sakura's forehead. "Morning, Mr. Kioshi!"

"Ah, you don't need to call us by Ms. or Mr." Sakura smiles kindly. "Just call us Sakura and Kioshi, hm?"

"R-Really?" "Of course!" Sakura serves the omelettes and fruit salads she'd made.

"That reminds me, Kioshi and I bought some clothes for you last night at a store at the mall. We're going somewhere today so I want you to wear them, okay?"

The girl was a bit uncomfortable at the fact that the two were being so kind to her. "Okay..."

"Good," Kioshi smiles, "I'm taking a day off to go with both of you so eat up and we'll get changed and leave, ne?"

After breakfast, Sakura and Kioshi changed into new clothes and Sakura had helped the girl with her clothes. She was wearing a pink shirt under a dark denim jumper shorts. White tennis shoes and her dark brown hair down, the girl followed the couple out to a limo.

"Wow! That car is really long. I've seen those before!" the girl says excitedly, making the couple smile. "Yeah, it's called a limo. We're taking it to go to my friend's work."

"I'm going to ride inside that car?!" "Yup, now come on!" Kioshi laughs, picking up the young girl, Sakura following them.

After a 20 minute ride, Sakura arrives at a famous Parisian hotel called Crown Cliff. "Huh? What's this?" Kioshi asked, confused.

"Exactly what I said, my friends' work. I have to ask a little favor, mind waiting? Or do you want to come?"

"I want to go! I want to go!" the girl says excitedly and Sakura giggles, letting Kioshi pick her up as the three walk into the hotel. After a brief talk with the receptionist, a call was made and soon, Sakura's friends came down.

"Sakura!" The girls' shouts caught some attention in the lobby as they rushed to their friends, their lovers following behind.

"Hey, guys." The baker smiles, "I need a favor, mind helping?" she gestured to Kioshi and the young girl behind her and Olivia smirks. "When did you get pregnant?"

The rest of the Foxes look at her with puzzled eyes and Sakura laughs, shaking her head. "She's homeless, ran away from home."

"So young?" Angel asked and stepped forward, greeting the girl. "Hey, I'm Angel. What's your name?"

Before the girl could reply, Sakura sighs, "That's the problem, her parents never told her her own name. That's why I came. Takuto, mind helping?"

After spending some time with research and Sakura talking to the girls about the cake design for Samantha and Takuto, the couple decided to head home with their daughter.

With the Foxes' help, they managed to slip into government files and sign their new little girl, Izumi Su, as their own adopted daughter. Takuto had placed her name in the files and with Riki's government status, they managed to get the papers for adoption.
