The first POV is Masaomi since It made more sense. The second is Pipers.

* Masaomi adopts little Tessa after falling in love with the five year old.

*Hikary technically doesn't adopt but more as keeps little Piper after falling in love with the five year old

They are two different girls. For now each chapter will probs take place at the mansion then next Hikaru apartement until the two girls finally meet. I explain this so you don't get confused. Question comment or PM me

Thankies! :P


Masaomi POV

"Okay, you're all done kiddo." I smiled down at the girl in front of me. "You know. That was really brave of you. To walk all the way here by yourself." She shrugged and continued playing with Usa-tans ears.

It was a normal day at work for me until a nurse came up and told me a girl walked in by herself barely breathing and fainted. It wasn't really a surprise for me. She had been coming in for a while now.

Aggressive Malicure Lukemia Syndrome. A incurable disease that was rare but deadly. Mostly only children got it and died before they were adults. Most of the time. My heart broke when I first found out she had it.

Nobody really knew who she was. She never gave a name and always came in alone. She was only 4-7 years old. She had navy/extremely dark brown hair and purple and red Heterochromia eyes. She apparently lived in some orphanage or something. An orphan.

Picking a sucker out of my pocket, I waved it at her to get her attention off of Usa-tan. I only gave it to her so she wouldn't mind the shot. But she became a little too distracted by him. Her eyes instantly lit up at the sight of it causing me to chuckle. "Guess what kiddo? Riddle me this and you get to be a very lucky owner of a lovely sucker!" I said dramatically making her laugh.

"All you have to do is write down the name of your orphanage!" I placed a pen and notepad on her lap. She hesitantly scribbled it down and grabbed the sucker.

"So am I gonna take you home or..." I didn't get to finish as she hopped off the bed and walked out the room.

Leaning against the wall, I sighed. I was getting to attached to this girl. She was too intriguing. I needed to know more about her. I had to help her...

Upon getting home, everyone was already at dinner. "Hey Masaoami. Hard day at work?" Ema asked.

I shook my head not touching my food. "No. Actually I got off early."

Ukyo eyed me oddly. "Then where were you? What's wrong?"

Hesitating for a minute I finally gave in noticing everyone's stare. "There is this little girl at work. I don't know her name, age or anything about her except she has a very deadly disease. I know, I know. I make it a rule not to get emotionally involved with the patients, but..." I trailed off.

"But nothing. You cant get involved." Azusa scolded.

"She's an orphan. She has no one. I cant help it!" I countered getting annoyed.

"Masaomi-nii." Ukyo sighed. "Orphan or not. There is nothing you can do."

"I can adopt her." I muttered under my breath but apparently loud enough for everyone else to hear.

"You cant..." Subaru breathed.

Wataru stared at me with a unreadable expression. I stopped discussing the topic afraid he would be upset with me.

The next day after work I went straight to the orphanage's office. There were plenty of children running around but I didn't see her.

"Can I help you sir?" The caretaker asked me politely.

"I'm looking for a specific child. Navy hair purple and red eyes-"

"May I inform you this is a orphanage, not a shopping mall mr..?"

"Asahina. Masaomi Asahina. And I don't mean it like that. I mean I know a young girl specifically I want to adopt. She has Aggressive Malicure Lukemia Syndrome. I'm afraid I don't know her name.

"Tessa? You want to adopt Tessa? I'm not sure about that... But anyways is this the girl." She held up a picture of her. I quickly nodded. "Ah. Well I don't know. Her condition is very serious. You have to know a lot about her condition first."

"I do! I mean I'm Dr. Asahina. One of Tessa's doctors ma'am. I am well aware of her entire situation."

She eyed me for a moment before nodding. "I will go fetch her."

Smiling to myself, I knelt down in front of her when she came in. "Hey Tessa is it? Remember me."

She stared at me for a moment before nodding slightly. "Good girl. Well I was wondering kiddo, if you would like it if I adopted you. How would you like to come live with me?" I held out Usa-tan to her. "Here you can have him which ever way you pick."

She held him close to her while she looked at me. After a moment, she happily smiled.


Piper POV

I skipped down the street happily humming, and occasionally singing Titanium lyrics. I didn't really know where I was going but I was having fun exploring. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was walking. Most people moved over for the 5 year old girl skipping around town randomly. I just hopped nobody would attempt to kidnap me. Again.

I had moved on to humming Counting Stars when I bumped into someone making me fall onto the concrete. "Eh? Are you ok little miss?" I heard someone say. It sounded like a woman but with a hint of a man? Curiosity took over and I glanced up.

She had long orange hair like me and green eyes. She was very much taller than me. Then again, who wasn't. I was five! She was really pretty. But, she looked sorta like a guy under that makeup.

Standing up, I gazed up at her(?) as she smiled. "What is a little girl like you doing in a big place like this?"

"Looking for food." I smiled cheekily hopeing she'd see where this was going. She smirked holding her hand out. "Ah the little miss wants some food? I was just heading to this little café. Would you like to join me?"

I nodded and quickly began pulling her since I knew where she was talking about. She seated me down by the window and sat across from me. I kicked my legs out staring uncomfortably out the window.

"So little miss. What's your name?" She asked.

I shrugged. "I don't have one ma'am. Never got one. What's yours?"

"Hikaru. Hikaru Asahina. How have you never got a name? One usually gets one when your born." She countered.

"I'm an orphan ma'am." I smiled.

She stared into my blue and purple heterochromia eyes for a moment before continuing. "What are you doing away from your orphanage?"

"I walked out for a little bit. I got bored there." I stared out the window wondering where she was. I brushed my long hair out my face. Some days it looked more orange like hers, other days it looked more blondeish. The perks of being a strawberry blonde. Today it was more in between.

"You're a man." I blurted out randomly.

He stared at me for a moment before busting out laughing. "Yes. Yes I am. Good eye little miss."

The waitress walked over giving Hikaru a coffee and me a chocolate chip muffin. My eyes widened before I dug in.

"When's the last you've eaten?" I heard Hikaru ask.

I shrugged. "Two, three days ago sir."

"Days! That is unacceptable. Kid like you will get hurt living on the streets." He exclaimed. Oh well.

I smiled. "Thank you for your concern sir. But I'm afraid I'm doing too well on my own at the moment. Thank you for the snack." And with that I grabbed what was left of the muffin and ran out the café.

The next day I was wandering around the alleys when I was cornered by a group of men. I backed myself into the wall trying to get away. They had been chasing me for a long while now but I never knew why.

"Now come on brat." One shouted.

"Lets have some fun kid!" Another yelled.

I was on the verge of tears as one grabbed my arm pulling me out the corner.

"Let her go!" I didn't even have any time to realize what was happening before someone came out of hiding and beat the men up.

I turned to run but a hand grabbed my arm. "Little miss. Calm down. It's just me. Hikaru." I stopped struggling and looked up. It was him. He bent down and wiped a tear off my cheek.

"I told you already little miss. The streets are no place for a kid like you. We will just have to do something about that huh?" He lifted me up into his arms and started walking towards a car. "Hmm. We will just have to take you back to my place for the mean time. Or you know, forever."

He placed me into the car before getting in himself. "Wait. You mean..."

He nodded.
