"Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes! Hahaha. {Omnomnom}"
"Wow you like pancakes almost as much as I do."
"Penkeks are nyummy!"
"Come on don't talk with your mouth full, it's rude."
"Sorry mommy. {Omnomnom}"
"Alright now as for a name how about we call you… Aiko that's a pretty name right."
"Haha yeah I'm Aiko!"
"Okay I'll call you Aiko."
At least until I find out who you really are.
"Now finish your food so we can go see the nice police officers okay sweetie?"
"Okay."
Full of pancakes and dressed up we headed to the police station where my dad worked, luckily he took the day off so he wouldn't see me walk in with what he would probably assume to be my illegitimate child and throw a fit. On the way there I bought some crayons and a sketch book to keep Aiko entertained while I took care of business, so we walked into the police station, I set Aiko down on the couch to play and I went up to talk to the man at the front desk
"Ah Ms. Kousaka it's nice to see you I didn't know you had a daughter."
I talked low enough to him so Aiko couldn't hear me.
"I don't that is not my daughter she is actually the reason I'm here."
"Oh are you sure she looks so much like you."
"Very sure I don't know who she is or where she came from, I just suddenly found her sleeping in my house this morning and she started calling me mommy all I want is to get her back to her real parents or whatever."
"I see well for now what we can do is run her picture and fingerprints through our systems to figure out her identity which would take several hours probably a day at most, if that doesn't work we could scan her DNA and compare it to local samples we have but that would take a lot longer and we don't have samples from everybody in the area so there is no guarantee that we'll find a match. A third option would be to either send her to an orphanage or set her up with a foster home while we send a found child report to the public."
"Okay then."
"Alright I'll get the paper work we need, now are you sure she isn't your daughter because I'm seeing a lot of similarities between you two."
"Absolutely, positively, without a doubt sure."
"Okay I'll send someone to meet you down at the picture room you know where that is right."
"Yeah."
"Okay and once you're done with that you can leave, oh by the way as you know a police station isn't exactly a child friendly place and I'd prefer not to have to assign her to a legal guardian before we finish running her data through and since you're the daughter of one of our most respected police officers you don't mind watching her until we get everything done here do you? It'll be for a few days at most."
"Oh uh sure no problem but could you please not let my dad know about this, he'll just jump to conclusion you know."
Looks like I'm gonna have to call work and let them know I won't be coming in for a while.
"Of course."
"Thank you."
The officer went off to get the papers and I went over to Aiko while she finished drawing a fairy.
"Hey sweetie we're going to take some pictures of you and then after that we're going to the mall to get you some new clothes okay?"
"Okay, then can we go see daddy?"
"Uuuuh sorry honey but we can't go see daddy right now because uuuuh… he is too busy right now and we won't be able to see him for while so just be a good little girl and enjoy spending time with mommy."
Who is this daddy she keeps talking about?
"Okay, look I made a picture of us."
Aiko then flipped through her sketch book and showed me a crudely drawn picture of three stick figures in a sunny green field, the first two were girls obviously Aiko and me but the third one was a man with a very familiar looking jet black hairdo.
"Aiko who is that?"
I pointed at the male stick figure holding her hand in the picture.
"That's daddy isn't he pretty."
"I think you mean handsome… uuuh never mind lets go."
We had her picture taken, inked her fingerprints and even cut off a strand of her hair just in case, after getting all that done we took the train to the mall so I could get her some new clothes because as adorable as that red dress looked on Aiko it wasn't good for cold climates. So while I was looking through clothing store Aiko sat in a nearby waiting chair drawing in her sketch book.
"Okay Aiko what color jacket do you want?"
"I want pink!"
"Now what else to get, pants or stockings, ooh those boots over there would cute on her, that blouse would look great with this jacket, maybe I should only buy her clothes my company sponsors."
Wait what the hell am I thinking I shouldn't be so picky about her clothes, it's not like she's my real daughter… r-right? Besides she is only going to be with me for a few days.
That thought immediately left my mind when I saw some the most adorable little winter caps to complete her new wardrobe. After we finished shopping I had Aiko change into some of her new clothes before we left to go home but when we left the store Aiko suddenly dashed off in a different direction.
"Daddy!"
"Huh?!"
She ran up to a tall man with black, medium length hair and started hugging his leg, one look at his face and I knew… it was him, the one person I have unintentionally been trying to avoid for the past ten years right here in front of me… he has really changed a lot.
"K-Kirino?"
Before he could say anything else I quickly picked up Aiko and ran off as fast as I could.
"Wait mommy that's daddy over there."
I didn't listen to her I just kept running, I ran through the mall exit, ran to train terminal and I just about ran to my seat before I calmed myself.
"{huff}{huff}{huff} That was close."
"Mommy why did you run from daddy?"
Why DID I run from Kyousuke? The first time I see him in ten years and I run from him like some scared animal and what's he doing here anyway mom and dad usually tell me when he is coming to visit but why am I so scared to face him? Is it because of that promise we made? Do I not want him to think I had a kid with some other man? He probably thinks that already, oh god what if he questions mom and dad about it, crap this isn't good. Wait Kirino calm down if they ask just explain the situation and they'll understand, she's a little girl I found on the street and I'm taking care of her until the police figure out what to do with her. Oh who am I kidding, one look at her they'll all think she's mine she's practically a mini version of me, Kyousuke won't ever want to see me again and mom and dad will probably think I'm slut now and I'm still a virgin, oooh what am I going to do?
"Mommy?"
"Uuuuh daddy can't see us right now because I have a surprise for him and I don't want to show him yet so just wait a little longer and you'll get to see him again okay?"
"Okay mommy, I'm going to draw a really pretty picture for him."
We got off the train and walked back home while I wondered what was going to happen.
What will Kyousuke do? What will mom and dad do? What will my friends do if they find out? {sigh} One day with this girl and everything has already gone to hell.
"Mommy I'm hungry."
"Well what do you want to eat?"
"Can we have pancakes again?!"
Well at least she is in high spirits.
"Haha no pick something for lunch sweetie."
"Then can we have Curry?"
"Yeah some seafood Curry sounds great right about now."
At that moment my phone rang.
{ring}{ring}
The caller id showed that it was coming from mom and dad's house.
"H-hello?"
"Kirino where are you right now Kyousuke said he saw you at the mall but you ran off before he could talk to you, what happened?"
"Hi mom, uh I just had something to do for work and had to leave in a hurry there is nothing to worry about, did Kyousuke tell you anything else?"
"He did ask if you had gotten married yet but of course I told him no."
"Okay good."
"By the way Kirino we were wondering if Kyousuke could stay with you for a while."
"W-what why can't he stay in his old room?"
"We're sort of using it as a storage space and we can't let him stay in your room because your grandmother is coming over tomorrow. Please Kirino I don't know what going on between you and Kyousuke to make you want to avoid him for so long but I think it's about time you be a good sister and at least try to resolve this."
Maybe she is right I have to stop dodging his every move I mean I want to spend time him again, do I actually plan on avoiding him forever? No Kirino you're a big girl and you're going to face your problems like the strong women you are, besides I'm sure Kyousuke still has faith in me even if I have been nonexistent in his life for the past decade if I just explain what's going on he'll believe me after all we are technically married. He might even like the idea of having Aiko around and I could probably talk him into helping me adopt her if the police don't find a place for her, okay Kirino you can do this.
"Yeah mom your right, I'll have my guest room ready for him and tell him he can come over anytime he's ready."
"Good I'm sure you and Kyousuke will have a wonderful time together and I'm sure he's really missed you."
"Yeah I kind of miss him too but don't tell him that or else he'll get full of himself."
"Okay I won't, he'll be over in an hour."
"Okay bye mom."
"Bye sweetie."
{click}
"{sigh} What the hell did I just do?"
"Mommy who was that?"
"Uh that was grandma and she said that uh… daddy will be coming to our house today."
"Really?! Are you going to show daddy his surprise?"
Oh crap I forgot about that.
"Well uh the surprise is uh you, when daddy comes home I want you to show him the pretty new clothes I bought you okay?"
"Yeah I gonna jump out and surprise daddy hahaha!"
We finally made it to my house and I let Aiko watch TV while I got Kyousuke's room ready, the guest room was fully furnished and fixed but the only problem was that because I only ever had my friends over it was mainly decorated for a women to stay in and I know Kyousuke won't be very comfortable with that. So I took the blankets, the pillow covers and the curtains and replaced them with some less frilly, neutral colored versions I had lying around, once I finished I changed into some nicer clothes and put on a thin layer of makeup to make myself look presentable to him. I then heard my doorbell ring signaling Kyousuke's arrival.
"Alright Kirino time to end ten years of estrangement, {cheek slap} here we go."
I went downstairs and walked past Aiko watching some of my old Stardust Witch Meruru Blu-rays, because I'd rather her not watch the bland reboot they made last year, and stood in front of the closed door too scared to open it but I pulled myself together and waited until he rang the doorbell again before I opened the door.
"Hey there Kirino long time no see."
"ah…ghf u dirfduvem."
"Daddy!"
All I could do was just stare and babble as Aiko ran up to a confused Kyousuke.
"Surprise!"
After a few seconds I got dizzy and Kyousuke started talking but I couldn't make out what he was saying and before I knew it I fell over and everything went black.
Well this is one heck of a reunion.
