DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
Aina looked around in shock at all of the castles and other play sets all up and ready to be used. Each had some sort of princess or other kind of doll in a princess dress in it ready to be used.
"Well what do you think?" asked Kaoru standing next to her.
"Do I really need all of these toys?" asked Aina timidly. Kaoru chuckled.
"You remain so much of Haruhi. She'd have the exact same reaction," he said, "But well like I said as a spoiling uncle it's kind of job to go overboard like this."
"Hey, I was the on that told you to go and get all of these toys!" said Hikaru running into the room, "Stop tacking credit for other people's work!"
"Oh come Hikaru, you're her father. It's your job to be strict and firm with her. You know boring," said Kaoru.
"Forget that!" said Hikaru, "That's Haruhi's job. I'm the fun parent remember?"
"Whatever spoiling uncles are still more fun," said Kaoru.
Aina meanwhile walked over towards a simpler house that had a princess doll in a rags dress, sort of like a Cinderella themed doll that wasn't from Disney. The doll had brown hair instead of yellow. She looked around and found another doll that sort of looked like her and brought her over to the house. This doll had red hair.
"Hello um sister," she made the one say.
"Hello sister," said the other one, "How are you today?"
Hikaru and Kaoru both stopped arguing when they heard Aina playing.
"I'm just great," she made the brown hair doll say.
"We should do something special," said the red one, "Would you like to go swimming maybe?"
"Of course I would but I don't have a swim suite," said brown haired one.
"Oh you mustn't worry about dears," said Hikaru in a more feminine voice grabbing another doll, "For I your fairy godmother will provide you for one. Now where did my otherwise stupid assistant put all of the spare cloths?"
"Oh ha ha ha," said Kaoru grabbing another doll looking like Hikaru's, "Don't listen to this crazy lady. For I am your real fairy godmother and I have the real swim suits." He held up two different doll swim suits."
"You stole those from me didn't you?!" said Hikaru's doll.
"Oh stop trying to make me look bad!" said Kaoru's doll. Aina had to suppress a laugh as she watched her father and uncle play fight with their dolls. The two of them seemed to be having fun though. After a while of the three playing Aina started yawing.
"You getting tired there Aina?" asked Hikaru when he noticed her nodding off.
"I'm sorry," she said fighting a yawn.
"No it's okay," said Hikaru, "Let's take you upstairs for bed."
"Okay," said Aina.
"Here," said Kaoru handing her a plush doll of Belle, "something you can sleep with, Good-night sweetie."
"Good-night," said Aina in between yawns as she tried to follow Hikaru out of the room. Hikaru took notice of how much she yawing and scooped her up in his arms carrying her up to the room Daichi made up for her. Aina was surprised to see there was a white veil covering her bed.
"I borrowed that from Miss Asami's room. I doubt she'll miss it in the mean time," said Daichi who was still in the room getting it ready.
"No that's a good idea," said Hikaru laying her down on the bed, "You going to be okay here alone all night? I can have a bed moved in here too so I'll be nearby."
"No I'm fine," said Aina.
"Okay then," said Hikaru, "I'll leave you be. Good night." He surprised Aina by giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead before walking out of the room.
"Here you are Miss," said Daichi leaving a thing of pajamas on the bed for her.
"Thank you," said Aina, "You're a butler guy right?"
"Yes Madam I am a butler guy," said Daichi smiling at what Aina had called him.
"Have you worked for this family for a long time?" asked Aina.
"Yes even before I became Master Hikaru's head butler. I worked at the main estate back when he and his brother were a bit younger as well."
"Did you know my mother at all?" asked Aina.
"That depends, who was she?" asked Daichi.
"Yuina Iko," said Aina. Daichi gasped.
"You're Yuina's daughter?!" he in surprise, "I never would have known! Well no I take that back. You're eyes may have your so called father's color but they're more of her shape. And that smile and nose are a dead ringer for hers. This is truly a day of wonders! Master Hikaru getting together with two women who look alike! Well enough about that. I'll leave you be so you can sleep, Good-night dear."
"Good-night," said Aina as Daichi walked out of the room so she could change and go to sleep.
Daichi immediately ran towards Hikaru's room where Hikaru himself was getting ready for bed.
"Sir?" he said walking in, "I don't mean to pride but is it true that girl's mother was Yuina Iko?" Hikaru looked over at him shocked.
"How did you?" he started to ask.
"She told me who her mother was. She wanted to know if I had known her which I did back when we both worked at the main estate," said Daichi.
"Well it's true alright," said Hikaru sadly, "I got drunk and raped the poor woman."
"Drunk?" said Daichi.
"Yeah she served us that some champagne my mother told her to give us to celebrate finishing our final exams and I guess I got drunk on it," said Hikaru.
"Your mother?" asked Daichi.
"Yeah," said Hikaru, "She said we should celebrate for that."
"I don't remember your mother calling that night at all," said Daichi.
"What?" asked Hikaru in shock.
"I don't remember your mother or your father calling that house that exact night you were done with your final exams. But then again I could be wrong. The only one that would know for sure would be Miss Honoka the main estate's head maid. She was the head maid back then as well and I never known your mother or father to call the house without talking to her at least once. So if I' wrong about your mother not calling she would know."
"You mean my mother never called and told Miss Iko to serve up that champagne?" asked Hikaru.
"From what I remember yes," said Daichi, "But the only one that would know would be Miss Honoka."
"Yeah sure," said Hikaru, "Do you think she's still awake?"
"I'll go and call right now. And if she's not I'll make sure she calls first chance she gets," said Daichi walking out of the room. He was quick to return to Hikaru's room, "She confirmed it sir! Your mother never even called that night. She hadn't called since three days before hand. Although she did recommend that you try calling your mother herself and asking her just in case."
"Yeah that's a good idea," said Hikaru, "I should probably tell her about Aina anyway." He was quick to find to get a hold of her. He had to hold the phone away from his ear though as his mother screamed and yelled at him over what Hikaru had apparent done.
"Mom!" Hikaru finally managed to shout back at her.
"What?!" she retorted.
"Mom, I wouldn't have done that if you hadn't told Miss Iko to serve us champagne in the first place!" said Hikaru.
"There you go again with that whole champagne thing. I didn't tell her to serve it to you! I didn't even get a chance to call the house that day!" said his mother.
"You're serious about that?" asked Hikaru.
"Yes!" said his mother.
"But she said it was from you," said Hikaru.
"I didn't talk to her because I hadn't called the house!" said his mother.
"Mom that could mean there's something else going on, something we may need to talk to this so called aunt she lives with. The only thing we know for sure at this point is that I did more or less sleep with the woman and get her pregnant," said Hikaru. He heard his mother sigh.
"You want me to come down to the station tomorrow so I can talk to the police?" she asked.
"Sure," said Hikaru, "I'll bring Aina down too in case she can remember anything her aunt or even her own mother may have told her."
"Oh good I want to meet her!" said his mother.
"Yes I bet you do," said Hikaru.
Aina rubbed the spot on her forehead where Hikaru had kissed her. She hadn't had a kiss good night since her mother had died. Her aunt wasn't one to show much emotion towards her. And even if she did every now and then, it was hard to enjoy it since her breath always smelled of smoke and beer. It made her gag. Why was it this man and his family kept contradicting everything her aunt told her? They seem to want her to be a part of their lives. They didn't merely take her in because they had like her aunt. And what if her aunt found out she was with them, or that evil woman? Would they get mad and try to get her back? Would they try to hurt her to get her to keep quite and stay with them? Then again there might be a way to keep that from happening. Maybe she should tell her father and the police the truth. She quickly got out of bed and hurried out. However she soon found out she didn't know where she was going. It was a lot darker with the lights turned off with only one or two on. Plus she didn't know where exactly her father's room was.
"Hello?" she called out, "Hello?" She soon found herself lost in a vast darkness.
"Hey Aina are you still awake?" Hikaru asked walking back into Aina's room. He flipped the light on and was horrified to see she wasn't there. "Aina?" he called out looking around. Her bathroom door was opened and he didn't see her in there. Where could she be? "Aina?!" he shouted as he ran out of the room, "Aina, where are you?!"
"Hello?" Aina kept calling out trying to find her way to either her father's room or her own room again. Anyone would be a good choice, or possibly her uncle's. She was sure he'd take her back to her room at least. Suddenly she felt herself tip and fall down to the floor.
"Owe!" she shouted rubbing her foot.
"Aina?" Hikaru kept calling out as he tried flipping on some of the lights to try and find her. Suddenly he heard what sound like Aina shouting out, "Owe!"
"Aina?!" Hikaru was quick to run after the sound to find Aina kneeling in a hallway rubbing her foot. "Aina what happened?" he asked kneeling down next to her.
"I tripped and fell," she said.
"Are you hurt?" asked Hikaru.
"A little but it's not so bad," said Aina.
"Come on, let's take you back to your room," said Hikaru.
"Okay," said Aina. She was surprised when Hikaru picked her up to carry her back.
"What were you doing out of your room anyway?" asked Hikaru.
"I I wanted to ask if we can go to the police station tomorrow. I want to tell them and you something important," said Aina timidly, "About my aunt and one of her friends."
"What about them?" asked Hikaru, "Have they been hurting you?!"
"Not exactly," said Aina before she yawned again.
"Well you can tell me and them tomorrow," said Hikaru, "I was going to ask you if you wanted to go anyway tomorrow. I'm sure the cops have some more questions and my mother's going to want to talk to them about this and your mother from what she remembers. And she wants to meet you very much."
"Okay," said Aina. She couldn't stop herself from suddenly falling asleep against Hikaru's chest. Hikaru smiled at that and stroked her hair.
'Don't worry Aina no matter what your aunt and her friend are doing to you they won't be doing it anymore!' he thought.
