Sorry, for not updating sooner, but my Junior year in high school is coming to its end and it has become super busy! Well hope you all enjoy this chapter as well…here are two spoilers! Will Shigure take Miyako in? Or not? Remember, I made her a love interest for Yuki, so that answer should be obvious whether Shigure accepts Miyako or not as his daughter, and Hatori is only assuming, but he doesn't actually know, he may or may not talk with Akito…Please Enjoy!
Hatori POV
The three of us sat downstairs at the table by the front door. I watched quietly as Shigure understood how important Miyako's words were. I knew he would speak to Akito-sama about this little incident later. This girl might be an unintentional member of the Zodiac, she certainly was not, psychological crazy, on the outside…having been presumably locked away in the Sohma house without being noticed by anyone, even Momiji… is unheard of. It seems her desire to run away was stronger than the unavoidable…to give into Akito's will, or she might already be working for Akito for all we know.
"Hatori, how did I end up in this predicament?" Shigure suddenly asked, his face hidden by his black hair
"Need I explain your lecherous behavior and the process of child-birth?" I answered unaffected by his look of guilt
"Hatori am I really going to take responsibility?! Akito already has another man and she has raised this child on her own already, why am I coming into the picture?!" Shigure suddenly snapped, I don't ever recall a time seeing him this tense
"Shigure-san, mother had wanted to play her games again, she had me make a bet that if I found you before sunset I could leave the House of Sohma. I have already been concealed from everyone in that household and this is my first time stepping outside of the Sohma Estate after sixteen years of my life. I will not ever have another chance of this feeling of freedom if you send me back now. I ask you; will you live to regret this day? Meeting me and knowing I am your daughter? Can you learn to love me? I never had a father in my life, but now I do. Can you take responsibility? Or at least try to learn how to love me, as you did with Miss Tohru, Kyo and Yuki?!" Miyako looked at Shigure, with a pained look
It shocked me, she admitted Akito sent her here but Miyako's intentions were to live away from the Sohma household to meet the one and only father she had heard about through Akito. It's quite difficult when variables in experiments don't go as planned, but the results can change in the aftermath.
"Shigure what are you thinking?" I asked him quietly
"Hatori, how can I send her back with a speech and look like that?" Shigure said, asking more of a rhetorical question
"Do what you need to do, and I hope you know she can still hear you." I told him
"Well I need to speak with your mother to get a few things confirmed. I don't really know how to react to this, but I think you know I have no choice…besides Tohru would love to have another girl in the house." Shigure replied smiling softly
"Thank you, Shigure-san" Miyako replied quietly
"I think I would like to get to know you more, but out of curiosity would you call me papa Shigure by any chance? I watched as Shigure ask her with a smirk
"Don't push it, I know when you're being lecherous…my sweet daddy dearest." Miyako answered icily giving him the death glare
"Ouch, remind me Hatori never to do that again…" Shigure laughed sheepishly
"She's your daughter…idiot, that's what I think." I retorted before getting up, and leaving the two sitting at the table in silence.
