The Fujioka Family, Chapter 2
Just another regular day. I wake up. I brush my teeth. I contemplate on the meaning of life, then realize it is 42. Get dressed. Go into the kitchen and find… Tamaki?
"Senpai, what the heck are you doing in my house?" I exclaimed, gaping at Tamaki, who was currently burning some eggs at the stove. He turned to me, grinning happily. "Good morning Haruhi! Just thought I'd make my beloved daughter some breakfast." he piped excitedly, gesturing slightly towards the burnt eggs and teared up pieces of bread.
I sighed. "Anyways, where's Faige, and why are you here in the morning? Where's my dad?" Tamaki turned his back to me, resuming his 'cooking' as he spoke. "He went to work. Faige disappeared, so I don't really know, and I live her now." His tone was cheery, but my mouth still hung open when he said that.
"WHAT? WHY?" I almost shrieked, dropping the bobby pins I'd been putting into my hair because my bangs had been insisting on being annoying today.
Tamaki finished burning the eggs to an inedible crisp, and slid them onto a plate, turning back to me. "Faige said it would be better if I lived with you, so I could protect you as well as I could." he said contentedly. I had no response to that. My throat was dry as I tried to reply. " But… you can't even… fight." I muttered.
Tamaki just frowned. "Haruhi, my beloved daughter, I'd be much happier if you'd put a bit more trust in me." he mumbled, looking dejected. "Faige hired a trainer for me. I'm learning how to fight with these super cool poison infused darts!" he waved a few darts in my face, making me back away in fear. He noticed this and chuckled.
"It's okay, they have a special button on them that only reacts to my fingerprint. As long as I don't press it, it won't trigger the poison."
I sighed in relief. "Now Haruhi, have some breakfast." he said happily, undoing his apron and sitting down with me. "Itadekimasu!" we said together. I stared at my plate, unsure if I would be able to digest the wet, teared pieces of bread, undercooked sausages and extremely burnt eggs. Tamaki just watched me eagerly, waiting for me to start eating.
"W-Why don't you try some first… senpai?" I asked reluctantly. He shook his head, pouting like a stubborn toddler. "No! Haruhi has to taste it first." he said, being the uncompromising senpai he is. "Uh, you know what senpai? I'm not hungry actually." I said, beginning to stand up.
He smiled, being less resistant and more forgiving than I'd imagined he'd be. "Okay, I'll pack it into your lunch." he stated joyfully, much to my dismay. I guess it just couldn't have been avoided, huh?
As we started to walk to school a few minutes later, I see Faige up ahead, standing on a fence. "That's not exactly safe, Faige." I called out to her, a bit worried. Babies definitely shouldn't be climbing fences. Faige turned to me, smirking. "Ciaossu, Tama, Haru!"
"Hi Faige!" Tamaki greeted her cheerily. "Hi." I smiled, waving slightly to the little baby. Faige just giggled. "Well, go on to school Haru! I'll be waiting afterwards to show you your next guardian." she stated.
# TIMESKIP TO AFTER SCHOOL #
Tamaki and I walked out of the school, only to see Faige wearing a potted plant costume. Before Tamaki could even utter a word to say she was absolutely adorable, which I knew he wanted to say, she turned and gestured for us to follow her.
As we approached yet another mansion, I couldn't help but sigh. Who on earth could it be this time?
Faige knocked on the door. "Well, Haru, Tama, this is the bearer of the sun ring…" I gulped as the door was opened. Then I swear, my mouth fell open. "Haninozuka Mitsukuni.
