A/N: Sorry I haven't uploaded in ages! I've been busy with school work and my secret Mukugiri fic!
This fic isn't based on a prompt, but is instead based on a song!
Criminal by Britney Spears
I hope you enjoy!
"Kyouko, you need to stay away from that Ikusaba girl," Jin Kirigiri said sternly, staring his daughter down. He sat at his desk, his hands clasped together. He furrowed his brows together, obviously concerned for his only daughter. "She's dangerous, it's not safe for you."
Kyouko Kirigiri stood in front of her father's desk, her arms crossed over her chest. She stood up straight, not looking at her father. "You have no right to tell me what to do," she replied, suddenly making eye contact. Her violet eyes were cold, showing no love for the man in front of her. She flipped her hair over her shoulder, pursing her lips together.
"I'm your father!" Jin shouted, standing up suddenly. "You need to listen to me, Kyouko!"
"You're not my father," Kyouko replied coldly, her voice staying level. "You left me as a child, therefore you're not my father. I don't have to listen to you."
Jin hit his hands against his desk, losing patience. "Kyouko, please," he begged, looking desperately at the female in front of him. "I'm worried about you. That Ikusaba, she's been in the wrong place at the wrong time too many times to be a coincidence. Plus, she's related to her," he didn't say a name, but Kyouko could already picture who he was referencing. "She must be doing horrible, unspeakable actions behind everyone's backs. I don't want you getting hurt, or worse. Please, just, drop your investigation. Leave this school. Cut all ties with everyone you met here. Go back home."
Kyouko pursed her lips together again, trying her hardest to keep a cool, level head. But it was becoming hard, her ex-father was pissing her off. She stayed silent, tapping her foot lightly on the ground.
"Kyouko…" Jin said softly, moving towards his daughter. He reached out, trying to hug her. Kyouko stepped away from him, keeping a good distance between the two.
"No."
"No?"
"I won't stop my investigation, I won't leave the school." She took in a deep breath, closing her eyes. "And I definitely will not cut ties with anyone here. Especially her."
Jin was getting angry again, closing his hands into fists. "Kyouko…" he said again, trying to keep his voice level and calm. "I've told you, she's dangerous. Let go of her, before it's too late."
"I can't!" Kyouko cried, her stoic expression finally breaking. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at her father, her lip beginning to tremble. She felt embarrassed for breaking down in front of him, but she just couldn't hold it in anymore. "I love her!" She yelled, stomping her foot on the ground. "You can't make me leave her! You can't make me do anything!"
Jin watched in shock as his daughter broke down in front of him. He had never seen her like this, and he had no idea how to react. He reached his hand out, wanting to grab her and pull her close, but stopped short once he heard her say those words. 'I love her!' He heard her words play over and over again in his head, bouncing around and hitting him hard. "She's a criminal!" He yelled suddenly, catching Kyouko off-guard. She stopped her fit, looking at him with wide eyes. Tears spilled from her eyes, running down her cheeks and off her chin. They splattered onto the floor, leaving wet marks.
She raised her hand to her cheek, feeling as if her father had just slapped her with his words. She turned around, walking quickly towards the door.
"Kyouko, no, wait!" Jin called out to her, wanting her to stop. She couldn't leave, not now, not while everything was in pieces. They needed to sort things out, fix everything.
But she didn't stop. Kyouko kept walking until she reached the door. She stopped then, and brought her hand up to wipe away her tears. She turned around, staring coldly at her father. "Then, father, I guess I'm in love with a criminal." She turned around, threw opened the door, and then disappeared, leaving her father behind.
Jin watched her leave, wanting to run after her. His feet wouldn't move, he felt like they were glued to the floor. "Kyouko!" He screamed after her, but she was gone. She was never coming back.
Kyouko walked out of the main building, wiping more tears from her eyes. They just wouldn't stop, and she hated it. She walked towards the center of campus, where she would be waiting.
"So…" a familiar voice said from behind her, "How'd it go?" Kyouko spun around, avoiding eye contact with the female behind her. Mukuro Ikusaba stood there, her left hand resting on her hip. She had a bloody knife in her right hand, and she twirled it around, getting some blood on her glove. She studied Kyouko with her cold, gray eyes, waiting for her to respond. "You're crying," she said suddenly, her cold composure changing into a warm, caring one. She stuffed the knife in her skirt, and rushed over to Kyouko's side. She wrapped her arms around her, pulling her close.
Kyouko couldn't speak, and allowed Mukuro to pull her close. They stayed like that for a while, with Kyouko's head resting on Mukuro's shoulder, and Mukuro's arms around her waist. Kyouko replayed the last words she had said to her father in her head over and over again.
"I'm sorry…" she said quietly, speaking to no one. "I'm sorry… but father, I really am in love with a criminal."
A/N: i feel like the part with mukuro really ruined it, but, if it's a mukugiri fic mukuro has to be in it, so…. Sorry?
