A/N: Shizuru adopts tow young girls and finds out a few interesting things about them with the help of a few things.
Find out how it goes
Since Shizuru and Natsuki wanted to raise children, they decided to adopt one at the Windbloom Orphanage to see what they have.
When they got there the children were all in a straight line. Some hoped that Shizuru and Natsuki would pick them while others didn't seem to care that much. Natsuki was looking at how the children were as Shizuru's crimson eyes wondered to a different part of the room where she saw a small figure running by. Shizuru wondered how it was and followed the figure.
She saw the small figure is a young girl who looked like she was around six or seven who has dark brown eyes with light brown skin, has four dark brown pigtails, and a dark brown monkey tail with a bag in her hands making sure no one saw her running in the hallway as Shizuru lightly laughed as said, "Shouldn't you be out with the other children in line?' Making the young girl jump in surprise and drop the bag she had in her hands.
The girl turned around and saw Shizuru and hid behind something in fear. "Wh-Who are you?" The young girl wondered.
"Ara, you don't have to be so scared of me," Shizuru said picking up the back the young girl dropped, "I'm here to adopt a child."
"Adopt?"Shizuru nodded as the little girl lowered her head. "I see."
"Why aren't you out there with the other children?" Shizuru wondered.
"Because the Nun told me and Carley to stay in the room we share," The young girl answered.
"Stay in the room? But why? Aren't you going to be adopted?"
"The Nun said that no one would ever adopt us. We're different."
"Different? How are you different?"
"I think differently than the others while Carley has something which makes her carry around a cane for her to see," The young girl said looking at the ground yet again, "The Nun says it's bad to be different. It's not normal for someone to think differently than the other children."
"That's not true. It's what makes you stand out and more unique than the rest of the other children," Shizuru said slowly walking towards the little girl giving her the bag she dropped. The young girl slowly took it like a frightened puppy, "Say, what's your name?"
"My name.......is Leah."
"Ara? Don't you have a last name?"
"Yeah, I do. I-It's Roberts. Leah Roberts," The young seven year old girl said still hiding.
"And what about your friends full name?"
"It's Carley Palmer."
"Leah Roberts and Carley Palmer, huh? Those are pretty names for such lovely girls," Shizuru said with a smile as Leah's face lightly turned red at the compliment.
"Sh-Shut-up, Lady! You shouldn't give compliments to people like that, Miss, uh....uh."
"Oh. I forgot to tell you my name, didn't I? My name is Shizuru Viola," Shizuru said pointing at herself.
"Okay, Shizuru Viola, you don't even know who I am? So why are you saying that kind of stuff to me?" Leah said making a face as Shizuru laughed, "Stop laughing. I'm serious?"
"It's because it's true. I bet the other children here in this orphanage are jealous because of your name including your friend Carley," Shizuru said.
"Well, I don't know because me and Carley are always in our room. The other kids keep picking on us," Leah said fiddling with her fingers.
"Ah, I see," Shizuru said as Natsuki saw her talking to Leah in the hallway.
"Well, Ms. Kruger. I hope you found a child you and Shizuru found that you like," The Nun said.
"Who's that girl Shizuru's talking to?' Natsuki wondered.
"Oh, her? You don't want that girl."
Then Natsuki began to wonder why from how the nun said that.
"Why not? She seems nice."
"She's an abomination. A monster," The Nun said.
"An abomination? What are you talking about?"
"She's not like other children. Her and another she befriended while being in the orphanage."
In the hallway, Leah continued to tell Shizuru how the people treat her and Carley as her stomach began to loudly growl for Shizuru to hear. "I see you're hungry."
"S-So? What I have in this bag will fill me and Carley up just fine. Now why don't you go and find that child you and that green-eyed lady want to adopt."
Then Shizuru was about to say something when she heard the sound of footsteps approaching them as Leah hid even more from where she was who saw Natsuki and the nun.
"Ah, there's my Natsuki," Shizuru said hugging the brunette woman.
"So, have you decided on which child you want, Shizuru?" Natsuki wondered.
"I have."
"And who is that?"
"Her?" Shizuru points at Leah who was surprised along with the nun.
"Me?" Leah said
"Her?" The nun said.
"Yes. Her and her friend Carley Palmer," Shizuru finished with her decision looking up at Natsuki, "If that's okay with my Natsuki."
"Well, uh, if that's what you want Shizuru, then I don't care as long as you're happy," Natsuki said avoiding Shizuru's pouting face that was forming on her face as Natsuki cleared her throat, "Then it's official. Shizuru and I will adopt Leah and the other girl Carley."
Leah couldn't believe what she was hearing as she timidly said, "R-Really? You're really adopting me and Carley?" Shizuru smiled again and nodded her head to Leah's question as she knelt down to the girl's level and placed a hand on her head like an animal.
" Yes, so tell your friend to pack her things. Because you and Carley are going to live with us." Shizuru saw Leah's eye light up with a smile spread across her face as she ran down the hall to open one of the doors on the right who yelled Carley's name to tell her the good news.
When Leah was gone, Shizuru and Natsuki laughed at how much Leah's eyes were when Shizuru said that to her as the nun said, "Ms. Viola and Ms. Kruger, I don't mean any harm, but why do you want Leah and Carley while you can take one of the other normal children?"
All Shizuru did was smile at the nuns question and say, "I like her."
"Like? What's their to like? She's not like the other children in the orphanage and neither is her friend Carley," The nun said.
"So? Being different is good. It makes you not like everyone else in the crowd," Natsuki said with her hands behind her head.
"I don't think you understand what I am saying."

"Are you serious? Shizuru Viola is here to adopt us?" Carley said in disbelief from hearing this from Leah. Carley is two years older than Leah who was a little chubby who wore glasses and has light skin with blue eyes, long red hair, and holding a cane in her left hand.
"Yeah. She's outside talking to the nun right now," Leah said packing her bag.
"But......the nun said we're different. Because I'm half blind and you think differently. And also because of something else," Carley said looking down.
"But this time, it's true. I can tell Shizuru's telling the truth," Leah said, "I can hear it from the sound of her voice. It sounded like someone else who I remember hugging and holding me before I came here."
Carley didn't know what to do or say if Leah was telling the truth about this woman or not as she began to pack her things also before walking out into the hallway where Shizuru and Natsuki introduced themselves to Carley and Leah before walking to the front desk and signing a few papers.
During that time, Carley could hear the other children say,
"I can't believe Shizuru picked them."
"They're nothing but a couple of freaks."
"Yeah. They're not even human. I sensed an uneasy aura around them when they first came to the orphanage."
"Don't worry. Once Shizuru and Natsuki find out the truth about them, those freaks will come back in no time."
"Yeah. I hope so."
This made Carley begin to second guess if these two strangers will love and care for Carley unlike her other parents before she was separated from them when she was six. Shizuru was able to hear what the other children were saying about Carley and Leah as she gently placed a hand on Carley's head which made the girl with glasses look up at the woman with red eyes who was smiling at her.
"Don't worry about them," Shizuru softly said still smiling as Natsuki finished with her half of the paper, "You don't have to worry about this place anymore."
"O-Okay," Carley timidly said as the four of them left the orphanage.
A/N: I know this doesn't make sense but I was board and I was inspired to do this after reading something when Natsuki was alone and didn't trust anyone after the death of her mother.
Well, anyway, I'm gonna make more later if you guys want me to or not.
