A/N: *waves nervously* Its NOT my fault! *cowers* I have had MAJOR writers block on Taken. In fact when I re read the story I felt like 'how in the world did I get such positive reviews? This sucks!' I was in 8th grade when this idea came to mind and I just wrote it out with a flimsy plot line! Now I'm halfway done with Highschool, but I kept going because of my beloved readers. *Hugs you all* Now time to break the ice as you can tell by the title, yes this is a rewrite of Taken. With longer chapters and better writing (I hope) also the plot line is a bit different its more organized. So come on folks its time to get back in the game!
Taken: ReduxChapter 1: You're safe now
Haruhi Fujioka sighs as she looked back at her cross-dressing father eyeing at a new dress in the window of a store. She shook her head and grabbed her keys to the small apartment she lived in. However before she took the steps up to the second floor she heard soft crying in a nearby alleyway. Haruhi looked back over to her father and sweatdropped. Her dad was now talking to the dress shop's owner excitedly about the dress seen in the window. Haruhi's ears perked as she heard the crying once more. Clutching the keys in her hand she hesitantly peeked her head into the alley and gasped at what she saw. A girl her age was crying quietly and shivering. Her dark brown hair matted and visible cuts and bruises seen across her arms. By the looks of her clothes she was recently in a struggle. Haruhi slowly walked up to the girl and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. The girl looked up quickly and coward in fear. Haruhi gave her a small smile.
"Ohayo, are you alright?"
Before the girl could respond a feminine yet manly voice yelled out.
"~Haruhiiii~ Where are you dear?"Haruhi turned her head and yelled out.
"Over here dad!" In a split second a man who you could mistake as a woman came around the corner.
"Haruhi why are you-" Ranka was cut off by the sight of his 12 year old daughter comforting a sobbing girl. Instantly Ranka became serious and narrowed his eyes."Haruhi what happened?" The short brunette looked at her father with worry in her eyes.
"Shes hurt Tou-san, I was going up to our apartment and I heard crying." Haruhi shifted uncomfortably under her father's comforting yet stern gaze. Ranka then turned his attention to the girl and his eyes softened. He walked over and knelt in front of her, taking a good look at her features. He noticed that Haruhi's jacket was around the girl's shoulders but she was still shaking.
"Hello there, its alright we won't hurt you." The girl looked directly at an Ranka became mesmerized by her eyes. They were captivating, it seemed the darkness and color of her eyes matched what she was feeling. Ranka saw pain, sadness, and confusion. The grey in her eyes was more prominent and it looked as if the icy blue within them were battling for dominance swirling into a beautiful mix.
"Can you tell me your name?" Ranka asked, the girl nodded hesitantly.
"Its K-kya." her voice cracked as if she was going to cry again at any moment. Ranka smiled reassuringly at her.
"Well Kya Im Royji but you can call Ranka and I see you have already met my daughter Haruhi.
"As her father introduce her, Haruhi gave Kya a small smile. Ranka continued.
"Now do you know where your parents are?" AS soon as Ranka finished his sentence Kya tensed and silent tears ran down her face. Ranka's eyes widen and he understood immediately.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry Kya." He wrapped her in a hug. Kya tensed at the contact but then relaxed into the mans body. She thought it was strange of them treating her like this. Just a helpless girl out in the streets. To her though, they seemed nice and it has been a while since she has seen such kindness. Even though she did find it strange why the man hugging her wanted to look like a woman. Lost in her thoughts she did not hear Haruhi speak.
"Shouldn't we take her to a hospital dad? She looks pretty beat up." The cross dressing father nodded in agreement, stood, and helped Kya to her feet. Kya shifted her feet uncomfortably and looked at the two nervously. Haruhi noticed this.
"What's wrong Kya?" Kya bowed her head and bit her lip.
"A-are you guys going to leave me once we get to the hospital?"
Haruhi looked at her father with her soft brown eyes as if saying 'We can't leave her alone, not like this.' Ranka knew that look well, it was the same look Kokoto gave him when she was alive. Ranka looked back at Kya, he knew by the look of her she was alone and the world was being a cruel place. He couldn't just let a child be left out on the streets like this! Especially when it is so close to winter she could freeze to death. He closed his eyes in thought.
For you my beloved Kokoto, I will take her in as one of my own, you would do the same in my position.
To both girls it seemed like an eternity for him to answer until he looked Kya in the eye and smiled.
"Don't worry Kya, we won't leave you alone. You're safe now."
T:R- 3 years later
….You're safe now.
Eyes snapped open and a sigh broke the early morning silence. Kya, no older than fifteen rose out the covers and started to begin her day. Her long brown curly locks are aspew as a yawn escaped her lips. She silently curses at her school that starts earlier than her sister's. Speaking of which, Kya looks over to the sleeping girl and chuckles. It seems Haruhi had fallen asleep studying, an open book laid flat across her chest and reading glasses hung off her face. Kya smiledand carefully took off the glasses, closed the book and put it in Haruhi's bag. Once done she walked into the kitchen to find something to eat only to find a note on the refrigerator.
Haruhi & Kya, my lovely daughters!
I went to work early today to cover a friend's shift. I might be home late so don't worry about your dear father!Love you and be safe!
Dad
Kya smiled at her foster father's happy go lucky personality shown in the ears then perked at the sound of movement from the about breakfast it she decided it was time to get ready.
I wonder how today is going to play out. Kya thought. Probably just the same old routine.
Kya walked into the bedroom to see her sister in all but blood rubbing her eyes 's short clean cut hair was a mess and Kya had to giggle at hersister's sent a half hearted glare at looked at the clockand raiseda brow.
"Kya aren't you supposed to be walkingto school right now?Its6:50."
Kya's eyes widen and she cursed.
"Damn your right!"Kya frantically changed into somereasonable clothes and quickly brushed her then grabbed her guitar that was placed in the corner of the room and her school lightly, Haruhi was watching her who was making sure she had , Haruhi got out of bed to follow Kya into the kitchen to see bag in one hand a guitar in the other and a slice of butter toast in her mouth, Kya's muffled cries of goodbye to Haruhi could be heard as she ran out the door. Haruhi sighed and shook her head.
"Time for another day with the rich bastards."
T:R- Later on that day
By the time Haruhi came home Kya was already starting dinner. As her sister came through the door Kya had to laugh.There was Haruhi, standing there in a ridiculous victorian outfit. Still laughing Kya raised a brow and asked.
"Rough day at the host club?"Haruhi only nodded and went into their room to done she walkedinto the kitchen to see Kya ready to leave somewhere.
"Where are you going?" She asked. Kya smiled and replied.
"Just to the store, we're all out of noodles for the ramen tonight." Haruhi hugged Kya and said to be safe then went to study. About ten minutes after Kya left Haruhi heard voices, very familiar voices. She cursed herself for forgetting to tell the boys not to come over didn't know why but she had never told the host club about Kya.
It must have never came to mind. Haruhi thought. They have never went into our room when they visited so they could never tell that another person besides dad and I were living here.
Haruhi sighed as she heard knocking and argument between the twins and Tamaki.
Then again Kya doesn't need any more stress in her life.
Haruhi shook her head clearing the thoughts from her walked over to the door and opened it to see six handsome young men. Tamaki's eyes brightened oncehe saw her.
"Ah! Haruhi my beloved daughter! Daddy came here to-" He was cut off by a harsh glare from the natural type host. As Tamaki wept in his corner of woe, Kyouya, also known as the shadow king adjusted his glasses and looked at her.
"Haruhi I believe you have the victorian outfit that you ran off with today from you mind handing it back? Also if I see one speck of dirton it the repairs will be added to your debt." Kyouya smirked at Haruhi's fearful expression and ran backinto the house to retrieve the victorian suit. Once acquired she came back and handed it to Kyouya and said with a blunt expression.
"There, now are you guys going to leave?" Then she felt a tug on the T-shirt she was looked down to see the boy loita.
"Haru-chan, you don't want us here?"Haruhi's eyes softened and she ruffled Hunny's hair.
"No Hunny its not that,its just you guys came here at a bad time."She then felt two arms around hershoulder.
"Really, Haruhi?"
"It seems that-"
"We alwayscome-"
"At a bad time!"
Haruhi tried to contain her irritation as she shrugged the twins' arms of her shoulders."Yes, seriously guys! I'll see you in club and school, now if you excuse me I have to start dinner." Haruhi gave a small wave to them as the host club reluctantly leaves. As soon as Haruhi closes the door there was another knock, gumbiling incoherent curses Haruhi opens the door to see Kya smiling with a bag full of groceries.
"Ohayo, Haruhi-nee!I'm bac- whoa are you okay?"Haruhi nodded and helped her with the groceries.
"I'm fine what took you so long?" Kya just smiled.
"Well I found some of your favorite fancy tuna on I bought some to make you feel better from the stress of the host club."
Haruhi smiled thankfully and for the rest of the night they enjoyed themselves,laughing and having a good time before another day of school comes and goes. Niether of them knowing what was coming the next day.
Well guys, it's official I'm BACK! WOOT Now give me them reviews I appreciate it tell me what you think and chapter 2 should be up soon! Peace out!
Kya-chan.
