Gokudera looked up when he heard something or some one being dragged to his cell. The lights went off just like when they brought in his meals or came in to examine him to keep him from finding the way out. He could tell by the thud of the body that it wasn't Chibiusa so he knew she was still safe. When the lights finally came back on he saw the one person he had least expected...Takeshi Yamamoto; his little girl's daddy. He automatically hid in a corner when said man stired but was spotted anyways.
"Hayato?" he said looking at his lost love.
"I'm surpised you care...after all I left you..."
"I know but I'm willing to overlook it all for you. I'll even adopt that little girl, Chibiusa is what you call her right?"
"You haven't figured it out yet? You really are an idiot."
"No, I figured out she's my kid, just not how it happened."
Gokudera sighed, "I'm a hermaphrodite, but unlike most both sets of sex organs are fully developed and working. I have a kinda vagina between my anus and balls. You got lucky one night and about nine months later on Halloween she was born."
"We'll get out of here and become a proper family. She's a real cutie. You did a good job raising her and that bunny you made her is pretty cool," he said making the sliver haired man smile slightly, a small blush on his cheeks.
WITH CHIBIUSA...
The little grey haired girl smiled as her hand ran over the black and white stripped fur of a muzzled, de-clawed white tiger.
"You have such soft and silky fur!" she said.
She, Bianchi, and Tsuna were at a Mafia run zoo full of rescued animals. The two adults were trying to make up for lost time as well as keep Chibiusa's mind off Gokudera.
"Chibiusa-chan, the zoo keeper's here to get the tiger for his feeding time," Tsuna called standing by another man.
"Actually Mr. Sawada, Snow is a girl," said the zoo keeper.
"Thank you for letting me pet her. I really liked it. I also wanna thank you too, Snow," said the little girl scratching the tiger behind the ear.
"Her tail's wagging so she's happy too," said the zoo keeper as Bianchi walked up, a stuffed white tiger and Count Fluffula under her arm.
"Kyoko just called to say she's at the restaurant waiting for us, so it's time to go Chibiusa," said the fusha haired woman.
"Ok auntie! It was nice meeting you, Snow. I hope next time I come it will be with my Poppa," the child said waving to the tiger as she walked to her aunt and godfather.
Fifteen minutes later they arrived at a quant, family run Italian bistro where Kyoko was waiting Ryohei, Hana and Haru. Seeing the two strangers Chibiusa hid behind her aunt.
"Oh, Haru, I didn't know you were back in town," said Tsuna smiling at the brown-haired girl.
"Hi Tsuna-kun, who's the little girl?" asked Haru.
"That's a good question," agreed Hana.
Chibiusa peaked out from her aunt, "I'm Usagi Bianchi Gokudera...Poppa calls me Chibiusa."
Haru knelt before her, "Hi there, I'm Haru. It's nice to meet you."
"Poppa says haru means spring..." Chibiusa said smiling at little, "I like spring cause there are lots of pretty flowers blooming."
"I like it too," Haru replied smiling back.
"Did you have fun at the zoo Chibiusa-chan?" asked Kyoko as they were seated.
"Uh-huh, I got to pet a real white tiger named Snow, she was really nice and had soft fur, and Auntie Bianchi got me a toy one. I'm calling her Little Snow. Now Count Fluffula has a new friend...all his other friends were cut up or broken by the mean people who took Poppa away, they were looking for his speical ring. He kept it hidden in a compartment he made with a loose floor board in his room along with a key to our saftey despoit box..." she said looking at the two toys sitting in a spare chair with the women's purses.
"Why was Count Fluffula spared?" asked Bianchi.
"I took him in for show and tell that day. Poppa had put a lot of time and effort into making him just right for me so I had to show him off," she replied.
"Why is he a vampire bunny?" asked a confused Haru.
"I was born on Halloween, and last year I wanted to be a vampire so Poppa made Count Fluffula as not only a present but as an accessory to my costume. We went as Count Dracula and his daughter," she said giggling.
The adults had to admit that the idea of the two dressed as vampires and going to a Halloween party or trick-or-treating together was kinda cute.
"Hey, wait, shouldn't she be in school?" pointed out Hana to the rest.
"Poppa has a friend back in America who's a social worker. She explained to my pricapal that my Pappa was missing and I would be living with another family memeber until they found him," Chibiusa explained.
"Looks like Octopus head was perpared for anything to the extreame," said Ryohei before sipping his iced tea.
"That sounds like Hayato alright," said Bianchi.
During the meal Haru and Chibiusa talked about what she liked which included My little Pony Friendship is magic, Barbie, Poke'mon and Monster High. After lunch they took her to a local mall and got her some new toys including a Frankie Stine Ghouls Rule doll, a Twilight Sparkle stuffie to replace the one that had been gutted in America, some puzzles, coloring books, a big box of crayons, regular books, and some child friendly movies to keep Chibiusa busy and happy. They also got her some new clothes and shoes since she needed more outfits then what she had in her little suit case. Tsuna also arranged for some tutors to come in and teach her. (AN: The suit cause Chibiusa had was already packed just in case)
By the time they got home Chibiusa was worn out and was too sleepy to stay up long enough for her aunt to even read her a single chaper of "The Son of Neptune" which she and Gokudera had been reading together before the iccident.
WITH GOKUDERA AND YAMAMOTO...
During their time together they had mostly just ate, slept and talked about thier daughter, Yamamoto wanting to learn all he could about his new-found child. He felt bad that he missed out on so much and boy would his father ever be over the moon when he heard about it. Speaking of fathers...
"Hey, Hayato," he said.
"Hmm?"
"Do you parents know you can have kids?"
"No, I told Chibiusa that if she had to she could tell my sister the truth but to be honest I didn't even know until I started to get sick and took the test as a joke...boy was I suprised..." he said running a hand through his hair, "They want us to have sex...they might be putting chemicals in my food to make me more fertile."
"I'm not gonna give them what they want. If we last long enough we'll get rescued. Then we can introduce her to my dad and stuff. He'll most likely spoil her as much as he can," Yamamoto said smiling.
Gokudera chuckled, "My old man would too...but I'm not sure how...my "Mother" would react."
"I know the truth, Reborn told me and Tsuna when we were in the future," Yamamoto admitted, "I guess you and Bianchi's mom didn't get along huh?"
"No...despite the fact that I thought she was my real mom she never treated me like she did big sis. She'd kiss her scrapes and cuts, tuck her in, comfort her if she had a bad dream or got spooked by a storm. Me, she'd dump me on my nursemaid. But when I learnt why...I kinda understood her a little better. She was betrayed by the man she loved and the left to help raise the woman's child. I dunno if she knew how my mom really died or not," Gokudera said before telling Yamamoto the whole story.
"Guess that's something else we have in common, we both lost our mother's to illness..."
TBC
