Chapter 34: DoT 1-3 (Unexpected Kidnappers)

Ayato's mind was going at hyperspeed with all the thoughts and feelings he was trying to keep from surfacing in his face.

When that morning, feeling grateful to Hinami for her quick-thinking and for fixing him up, the Fueguchi had asked to go to the local park and to make a quick recon mission in this 'unknown' Tokyo, he had been more than happy to comply with that idea.

Fast-forward two hours later and the Kirishima knew why Kenshin would blurt so frequently about Murphy's law.

The little girl, Ichika, was incredibly quiet and calm even through the realisation of her new predicament had already sunk in her mind.

Maybe it was Hinami's continued attempts to keep her distracted to properly react, to whine and cry.

Ayato was.. incredibly confused about himself too.

It had all been just because the simplest question being asked to the child. "What is your name?"

She had blinked, surprised and a tad bit confused of having someone she 'knew' ask that, but she replied nonetheless.

"My name is Kaneki Ichika."

His mind froze, dots connecting as her last name and her familiar scent meant that- Nope! Nopety, nope, NOPE!

His sister had.. married a human- Half-ghoul!

It was even more mind-boggling that he knew the artificial ghoul, being that boringl and shy tutor for Rize and Souta.

Kaneki Ken and.. Touka Kirishima, his sister. He sighed inwardly as he found himself in quite the dilemma as.. he didn't knew who would be the most miserable of the two.

While he would 'support' his older sibling because familiar bonds and all, Kaneki was.. kind of like a scaredy cat and putting him with his sister, which he knew perfectly enough how 'emotional' she could get, felt quite easy to feel pity about.

Last in his mind, for good reasons, was his 'future' with Hinami.

Ichika had deflated a tiny bit when she was asked whom had accompanied her to the park.

Ayato was thankful that it had not been his sister because he knew that would have ended poorly for them, but he was also confused about the reasons of the child being unsupervised.

A.. love spat?

It wasn't that... he didn't like Hinami or anything, maybe it was just something that would require 'more time and age to understand' just like Kenshin would mutter when he had asked why he would tease his surrogate brother and the Fueguchi, but he knew that, while the girl was sometime overbearing, she wouldn't warrant some crazy reactions.

It was their good (teamwork) chemistry.

"What should we do?" Hinami asked giving a quick glance at the sleeping child in her back.

Ayato hummed quietly, trying to pick up the best choice in their ugly predicament.

While his future self and Hinami's would make a quick, limited search in the park before calling her parents, he wanted to avoid getting his skin flayed by his rightfully furious sister.

"We go to Touka and.. Ken." Hinami giggled at the bitter note on his sister's husband's name, amused about this curious bout of protectiveness the boy felt to Touka's future self.

"So.. no more hiding?" He sighed and nodded at her question. "No more hiding."

She nodded and she started to prepared their things with the boy, thinking how much she had changed since the present.

It was a little secret of hers, known only by her mother, Touka and, surprisingly enough, Kenshin.

The peculiar human had been.. quite comforting when he had noticed her little disappointed stares directed at some well-endowed teens her age.

You are a late bloomer, Hinami-chan, he had said then, I'm 100% sure you will get the size you want.

She was happy that he had kept from detailing too much about 'that' and now the Fueguchi will be able to see if he had been 'right'.

With everything's packed, the trio started to hit once more the streets, this time directed to where Ichika's parents lived.

...She was going to be an auntie in the future!

Her little giddy self managed to keep her from thinking too much over the fact they were kidnappers and that her nee-chan was going to be quite angry at them..

Ayato flinched as he heard the sound of serious struggle going on the room near where he was.

Nagachika was guarding the door as to prevent his sister to get hold of him while Kaneki tried to get her to calm down, mostly because her ongoing pregnancy and having already stated he was angry too.

Hinami had felt in a depressed state, sitting in the small couch with her face hiding behind her knees.

He was screwed and Hide wasn't wasting time voicing his own disappointment.

"I don't know what had passed in your mind, but truly! To lose Ichika-chan!"

He flinched again, the little weight in his chest that had formed back when he first noticed the child missing was now starting to press onto his lungs.

This was.. a very minor show of how much he had screwed up.

Even Yomo had delivered the worst glare possible when he had wanted to make a surprise visit to her grand-niece, only to find his nephew having messed up big time.

Seeing the Fueguchi, previously so much energetic and determined, that much silent.. so much little and frail, was a painful sight.

His mind barely catched the sound of the doorbell and Hide frowned towards the entrance, giving one last glance of disapproval before walking to see who it was.

Could it be that they have found Ichika? Difficult. If she had been found then whoever did would have contacted bef-ore?

The human stood still as shock froze his mind.

Ichika was adorably snoring on.. a younger Hinami's shoulder while a younger Ayato stared at him cynically.

"Uh?"

"I-I know this might seems weird, Nagachika-san, b-but we can explain!"

The younger Kirishima blinked at Hinami's meek and stuttering tone but he continued his eyes trained on the wide-eyed Hide.

... "I think you broke him, Hinami-chan." She let a single, brief giggle tainted by nervousness and the human finally reacted.

"A-A-AYATO, THEREISACHIBIVERSIONOFYOUOMGOMGOMG!"

That was... Nagachika for sure.

The human bolted inside, leaving the door open and.. the two stepped in quietly, reaching the closest room where.. a familiar white-haired man was trying to appease- Touka?

His sister, her future self, was... expecting another child and.. she was angry.. now she was staring at him with the worst of glares.

He had just enough time to jump out of the way of an electric bolt splashing near him and almost burning the carpet.

CRAPBASKET!

The door didn't held against the woman's fury as she was about to obliterate him and- "Mama?"

The killing intent dissipated as Touka's eyes darted to Ichika, the little girl now awake and staring in surprise at her mother.

"S-Sweetie!" Hinami let the older version of her surrogate sister pick up her child, pulling her close to her and embracing her fiercely. "Mama!"

Those were some weird moments of silence, then purple eyes opened and turned to the two teens and.. glowed in confusion.

"You.. why you seem that much young?"

The Fueguchi was about to reply when.. their future selves walked towards them, stopping fully once they were quite close.

"W-What is going on?" Touka was visibly confused and her husband came just that time, recovering from being thrown onto the wall, to witness the strangest event in his life.

"We can.. explain?"

AN

It has happened! They have met and.. next chapter some more details!
