A/N: And the second update to complete the day! Hoorah. And yes, it's not your imagination, FMASaiyukiFanatic managed to have more ideas than I so this chapter is longer than the previous one. Well, anyway, on with track 6!
Chapter 6:
Chiasa watched as Shuichi and Kimimela closed the door to go to the studio. Yuki and Shuichi (mostly Shuichi) decided for each of them to take one of the girls since it was the weekend. Yuki was left with Chiasa since she was the less annoying--to Yuki--of the two. Chiasa stared at the window, continuing to watch Ki-chan and Shuichi to leave while Yuki moved to his study to continue his writing. Chiasa's head turned when she heard the door close. She hopped off her chair and scurried over to the study again. Even though she wasn't allowed in the study anymore considering of what she did a few weeks before, she still opened it wide and walked in. "Daddy?" She asked, staring at Yuki typing. She climbed up the stool that was next to his chair and looked at the bright screen as each word appeared. "Daddy?" She asked once more. Yuki's eyes darted from the computer screen to her. "What?" He replied harshly, not wanting to be disturbed at the moment. He would tell her to leave, but then she would cry, and when Shuichi came home, he would get scolded.
"Wouldn't the story be better if it were like this?" Chiasa climbed from the stool onto Yuki's lap, and placed her smaller hands on the keyboard, typing each word slowly. When she was done typing, Yuki read over what she had written. Amazingly, what she'd written was better than he expected. Actually, it's what he wanted to write, only she put it in a better way. He couldn't believe that a six-year-old wrote it better than he would have.
"Is that what you wanted to write, daddy?"
All Yuki did was look down to her and slightly nodded, still in disbelief. Looks like she had skills that he didn't know about. Chiasa sent him a big grin. "Maybe I can help you write, daddy..." She suggested. Yuki turned back to the computer screen, re-reading the sentences his new daughter wrote. He didn't reply, and she took that as a yes, giving him another smile. She resumed typing slowly on the big keyboard. The only thing she had left to learn was to type. Yuki just let her type for a couple minutes, though he usually wouldn't. Who knows, he thought, she might be of some use and help me get this done faster.
"Daddy?" She repeated another time. Yuki was getting tired of being called 'daddy' over and over by this girl. "What?"
"Like this?" She pointed to the screen. Yuki read waht she wrote again. It was perfectly related to the story, and even fit the character's personalities, and it still included what he wanted in the chapter. It's like she was reading his mind or something. He just stared at her again. "Did I do something wrong, daddy...?" Chiasa's eyes started to water, wondering if she wrote the wrong thing, or did something she shouldn't have. Yuki hated it when this kid cried, especially because it was so often. But he coudln't really blame her for anything, she was only a little kid.
He sighed heavily, laying his hand on Chiasa's head. She looked up into his golden eyes, seeing his usual glaring-look, but he seemed a lot softer this time. She wondered if he was getting used to her; or if he was even starting to like her. Actually, it was both. Yuki hasn't felt this close to someone ever since Shuichi. He just nodded, and brushed her hands away for just a moment and started to type more. Chiasa's blue eyes lit up even more, reading the suspensful moments, the romantic ones and all the others. She was always so interested in reading, she just never thought she'd ever see the process of a book being made. And she also never thought Yuki would ever warm up to her.
After a few more chapters, Yuki closed the laptop, set Chiasa on the stool, and got up. Her eyes followed Yuki's movment, as he moves from the study to the kitchen. Now that she thought about it, she was getting hungry. She jumped off the stool, and jogged into the kitchen. When she climbed up on another stool set at a counter, a plate with a peanut-butter and jelly sandwhich was placed in front of her. She stared up at Yuki again. This is the first time he's done this for her. This was actually a little out of character for him.
"Uh, thank you, daddy..." She picked up the sandwhich and took a bite. Yuki sat down next to her, and opened a can of beer. He put down the can and stood up again, remembering a meeting with his editor. "Daddy?" Chiasa grabbed the back of his shirt.
"Where are you going?"
"To a meeting." He replied, tugging his shirt away from her hand. She put the sandwhich down and hopped off the seat, following him. Yuki pulled on his jacket, grabbed his cigarette packet and his lighter, and started to walk out the door. "Daddy!" Chiasa called out. He suddenly thought of something. If he leaves her home alone, and if Shuichi comes home early, he's going to see that Chiasa's by herself. Then when Yuki comes home, Shuichi'll start yelling at him and lecturing him about leaving the girls alone. He sighed again and took her hand walking out. Chiasa's grin widened as she clinged onto his arm.
As Yuki was walking in the streets with Chiasa, people couldn't help but stare. Especially the women who were his major fans. Chiasa didn't know why so many people were staring at them. Yuki's fans were almost crowding the two as they walked. Chiasa heard all the women comment on her. "Why is the famous Eiri Yuki carrying around a child?"
"Does he have a relantionship with someone?"
"Well, he is with Shuichi Shindou."
"Yes, but they can't have children."
"Did they adopt?"
Hearing the comments, not knowing if they were good or bad, Chiasa's eyes started to water. Yuki noticed this, and glared at the group of women. "Don't make her cry." He stated. The women stopped immediatly, seeing the serious look in his eyes. He was being protective of Chiasa, for the first time ever.
Though Yuki started to regret ever taking Chiasa with him. He was sure that there would be newscasters annoucing about this, and the reporters would do whatever they could to get their hands on any information they could. They would ask Shuichi about it...and he would tell...or maybe even the other members of Bad Luck.
Finally, Yuki made it to the meeting without any more comments, or any more crying.
"Mr. Yuki! ...Why do you have a child with you?" The editor asked, staring up and down at the two.
"She's helping me with the next volume." Yuki sat Chiasa in the chair next to him.
"Really? Is she? She's awfully young..."
"I help daddy with his writing! He says I'm really good!" Chiasa chimed at his editor.
"'Daddy?' Mr. Yuki, is she your daugh--"
"Please, let's just get this over with." Yuki really wasn't in the mood for this topic.
They were able to get through the meeting without any more questions about Chiasa.
"You caused me a lot of trouble today, brat." Yuki glared at Chiasa. "I'm sorry. What did I do?"
He couldn't yell at her with that look on her face. It was too adorable for any scolding or yelling. He was getting soft on her.
Suddenly, the door opened to see Yuki's pink haired lover. "Yuki-kun!!" Shuichi smiled so brightly.
"Mommy! Ki-chan!" Chiasa shouted with excitment, running to Kimimela and Shuichi.
"Chi-chan!" Kimimela tackled Chiasa to the floor. Both girls started laughing.
"Yuki, how was your day?" Shuichi asked, skipping to Yuki.
"Eh, it was fine." He replied, walking back into the study. "Wait, daddy!" Chiasa pushed Kimimela off of her and chased after Yuki right into the study, jumping right in his lap as the door closed behind her.
Shuichi blinked. "I'm guessing Chiasa had a good day today." Ki-chan giggled. It wouldn't be long before they all fell asleep from a hard day's work.
