Okay…. First off, I can't believe how many people loved this fic… Thank you for those who reviewed the shit out of the first chapter! Bless you guys.
The Adoption
The Malfoy couple had expected a variety of expressions ranging from happiness to confusion to be seen on the young girl`s face the moment Narcissa dropped the bomb.
But not this.
The girl merely raised an amused brow before saying in perfect grammar;
"Being adopted and getting away from this place is really fine and all, but I don't think it would be wise to ship me out of Japan and to England so fast." Lucius had been confused whether to be amused or… Well, there`s really no other choice.
"And why is that?" He humoured seeing that Narcissa`s still taken aback by the girl`s bluntness.
"It will spare you the trouble of shipping me back here." She countered without batting an eyelash.
Her response piqued the two`s interests.
"Why do you say that? We`re not going to send you back here." Narcissa softly said, her eyes concerned.
Kagome snorted.
"That`s what they all say…" She murmured more to herself. "That`s because I know you`ll send me back here faster that I can say adopted… That's the usual routine…"
"A-Aren`t you interested learning about your parents?" The witch asked.
Kagome sighed internally before shrugging.
"My mother`s dead, my father`s dead, what`s to learn about?" Lucius, at this rate, is about to burst out laughing his pride be damned. This is certainly the one they were looking for, it's been a long time since they had manage to heard a sample of Nicohlas' infamous wit, and his daughter had it perfected even down to the flat drawl!
Narcissa chuckled, before laughing softly, sharing the same sentiments as his husbands.
Nostalgia indeed.
"You really are Nicohlas' daughter." The blonde said, her eyes still filled with teary mirth.
"And don't worry, we won't send you back… If you`re talking about your talents, your father has them as well." Now this piqued the girl`s interests.
"Really? You mean flying plates, rats turning to cups, making boils appear on someone`s face and random teleport-something-?" Oh, dear, she can already do those at such a young age?
"It's teleportation dear, and yes, we mean those." Kagome broke into an angelic grin and Narcissa nearly cried at how familiar it looked.
"Then sure! I`ll go with you!" Lucius hid a smile as his wife once more crushed the girl with a bear hug. Walking towards the door, he opened it and was met with a well hidden annoyed expression.
"So I assume you`d take her?" Jikanho irately said.
"Yes, and I would like it to be done fast. Any papers related to her should be given to us and there would be no problems."
"Now, I`ll just warn you mister, that kid`s a menace and if you`ll retu-" he wasn't able to finish for Lucius already snapped his jaws forcefully with the head of his cane.
"You really are a nosy man. I don't care what her records are but I want everything done starting now." He glared at the man with his icy stare and smiled in satisfaction when the quivering caretaker nodded frantically.
"~Whistle~ You have to teach me that mister!" Lucius turned around at his goddaughter and tilted his head, flashing Kagome an amused smirk.
"With you leaving with the Malfoys, you`ll learn how to drive muggles away with little to no effort dear." Kagome doesn't know what those words meant but she still nodded enthusiastically anyway.
"Soooo… Where are we going pretty lady?" Kagome asked, craning up her neck to glance up at Narcissa. One more thing that the witch had found undeniably endearing is Kagome`s apparent lack of height. Even thou she`s already eight, she only reaches up to Narcissa`s stomach and Lucius` hip.
"I told you to start calling me auntie dear, although I prefer you to call me mom." They were currently headed towards Nippon`s Magical ministry seeing that there`s no fireplace available to use floo powder on.
"Ok then! Auntie Cissy, where are we going?" It was Lucius who answered.
"We are going to fix your papers seeing that you`d be living at Malfoy Estate." Said Lucius pretending to drive the car by holding its driving wheel. They were forced to buy a muggle transportation device seeing that they`re floo powder has nothing to use on, with Lucius` wealth, they encountered no trouble buying a car that was deemed best based on muggles standards. –They might hate muggle contraptions but at least thay have the best of the best-.
With a simple motioning spell, Lucius sat on the driver`s seat and merely did nothing.
"Are you going to change my name?" Asked Kagome.
"Well, we will change your surname but it's up to you if you want to change your mother`s given name." Narcissa said.
"Hm… Can I at least keep the Sydney?" Narcissa laughed.
They continued learning stuff about one another that led to Kagome finding out that her beloved scarf is actually a gift of her mother to her father on valentine`s day. She also found out about their own son that she learnt was more than a little excited to meet his new playmate ("If he`s going to order me around Im sorry in advance Im going to kick his butt." Lucius actually chuckled.) he was also the same as she, a young spoiled boy named Draco.
The couple learned three things about Kagome; one, she`s very straightforward, two, she`s obviously quick-minded and refused to take crap from anybody, and lastly, the third, she hate`s people who doesn't share the same talent as she; to put it into wizards words, muggles.
The latter pleased the two purebloods greatly, them not needing to teach Kagome how degrading muggles can be. They assume her hate was garnered by her being ridiculed by children and adults alike.
"Listen mister Taisho, Nicohlas Scarlett gave her rights to us Malfoys so don't you dare say that she`s a vital part of your world because I searched high and low for her only to find her in a predicament betraying you words of her being vital to you people when she`s treated anything but!" Narcissa rambled, looming over the silver haired man behind the huge desk.
"Woah. Remind me to behave whenever she`s near…" Kagome mumbled.
"Yes, I understand your anger but we cannot take her for she still hasn't met the required age… About the rights given to you by her biological father, her biological mother also gave her rights to us." Toga Taisho`s words practically made Narcissa see red.
"It would be best if you would just give us her papers, with that, no casualties would ensue." Lucius said, his voice calm with the tone of underlying anger.
The man tensed.
"Is that a threat Mr. Malfoy?" Faster than Kagome could comprehend, the three adults were pointing sticks at each other, faces screaming bloody murder. She doesn't know what effects those wands hold but she knew the Malfoy couple were outnumbered despite Toga being the only one inside the spacious room.
"Um, I hate to interrupt but…" She began, successfully reminding the adults that there`s a child along with them.
"If you`re going to fight at least do it fair mister…" She gestured to the surprised wizard.
"As you can see, Im the one who is outnumbered." Toga baited, having an inkling suspicion about Kagome having one of her mother`s well known abilities.
Kagome frowned. She hates being treated like she`s stupid or something.
"Then, who`s that?" She pointed behind the curtains. "And the one over there." Behind a gargoyle. "There." Over the pillars. "And there." At the second floor of the room.
"So who`s outnumbered again mister?" Lucius and Narcissa looked at each other, their intent to keep her heightening considerably.
"As I thought." Toga said, pocketing his wand away as he gestured to those who were hidden to do the same.
"She inherited her mother`s kehai; the ability to sense auras of any living beings. As you can see, her mother`s powers are different from those of your people. Her magic is the gift from the gods, and that, we specializes in." Lucius cursed inside his mind, not really used on having things not his way.
Narcissa slumped in defeat, knowing they cant really take Kagome by force. This is not England, they cant bribe they`re way in here if they have to, no its different.
Lucius, on the otherhand, thought so otherwise.
"The Malfoy family is a force to be reckoned with, if we have to go wage war with the Taisho`s then so be it." Wands were raised once more.
Kagome dragged a palm across her face in exasperation.
Ugh. Adults.
She coughed, gaining the attentions of the adults.
"You can ask me you know…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
Kagome thinks they looked like an idiot at that time.
Toga once more kept his wand away and cough his embarrassment away. Honestly, they can act so stupid at times.
Lucius did the same, running a hand through his hair instead.
Men.
"So… I think you wouldn't want to go away here in Japan, after all-"
"Of course she`d come with us, we`re her godparents for Merlin`s sa-"
"As I was saying with can harness your abili-"
"Hogwarts is more than enough to tea-"
"If a certain person wouldn't stop cutting me off I`ll he-"
"I would like to see someone tr-"
"Boys!" Narcissa yelled, successfully halting the testosterone filled battle. "Dear, its up to you… I just want you to know that whoever you pick is ok with us, all we wanted for you is the best." Narcissa softly said as she knelt dow to meet Kagome`s eye level, ignoring the sparks flying behind her nor the glaring males.
"Well…" Kagome began. The two men looked at her intently, chanting their choice of answer like a mantra inside their heads.
'Malfoys! Malfoys! Malfoys!'
'Japan! Japan! Japan!'
"I think I would like to go with Aunt Cissy and Uncle Lucius."
"HA!" Lucius uncharacteristically yelled in triumph, pointing an offending digit at Toga`s face complete with twitching brows. It took a while for him to realise what he`s doing before he straightened up, coughed discreetly and gave a nod of approval towards Kagome who struggled to keep her mirth.
'I have a very weird but funny uncle.'
Narcissa hugged her once more, elated at the notion of keeping her.
Toga grudgingly took out some stack of papers before saying; "Sign this and you`re free to go."
Lucius signed the papers, his shit eating smirk still present as Toga struggled to not punch the man`s face in.
'England, here I come!' thought Kagome in glee.
Okay, this is so fun to right.. XD! One of my reviewr said the its nice to see a good Lucius for a change… Sorry to disappoint honey but Lucius is not entirely good in this fic. Yes, he`ll be a little OOC since I need him to be a kind and loving father to Draco.. But never in a million years would I remove his ego.
That's why I like him so much! He`s an asshole with an ego a size of his own head!
And him fighting with Toga is really quite amusing… I thought of him as a very competitive man and would fight over the smallest of things just to prove he`s the best man out there…XD Oh Lucius you prideful little git!
Anyways, next chapter, I have no idea how to tackle so unless someone would give me some ideas, you Lusters are in for a LOOOOOOONG wait… XD
You can ask questions and I`ll answer them at the next chapter!
~JA NE LUSTERS!
