"Oyaji-san, aren't we there yet?" Iris cooed at her grandfather. "hush my baby, we're near the gym." Anzai-sensei told her. "I'm going to see my daddy!!!!" Helois cried and jumped gleefully. The students around them stared in awe at Anzai-sensei and his cute granddaughter. "Anzai-sensei, is that your granddaughter?" a student asked. "yes she is." Anzai-sensei answered. "ooh, she's so cute!!!" a girl said and tried to pinch Iris' cheeks but before she could do that, Iris slapped her hand away.
"hey!" the girl demanded. "gomen ne, she's not used to being hurdled by strangers." Anzai-sensei apologized. He bent down and held Iris' face. "Ri- chan, say sorry to her." Anzai-sensei said. Iris held her snooty head up high and stuck her tongue at the girl. seeing her grandfather's outraged reaction, the little girl squeaked and ran away. "Ri-chan!" Anzai-sensei yelled. He turned to the girl. "Gomen nasai!" he said. "it's ok Anzai- sensei. Kids can be off the rocker sometimes." the girl said. Anzai-sensei apologized again before turning around to look for Iris but the bubbly little girl was nowhere to be found.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Iris was running gleefully along the corridor when a student suddenly went out of the door and Iris bumped hard against his leg. "what the—?" he student uttered in surprise when he saw the little girl on the floor. Her eyes and lips were quivering and second later a loud wail was heard.
"WAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! WAHHHHHH!!!!!" Iris wailed and trash on the floor. The nervous student kneeled in front of her and tried to soothe her but Iris was trashing so violently. they are a lot of students that are watching the seen. A familiar figure went out of the CR near the crime scene and paused when he saw Iris on the floor.
"WAHHHHHH!!!!!! MOMMYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!" Iris screeched. "what did you do, baka?!" Yohei Mito demanded as he hurried towards the wailing girl. "I-I swear I d-did not s-see her coming!!!" The boy stuttered, seeing how angry Yohei was. "You could have look at least!" the other boy retorted and took the crying girl in his arms. "shhh...don't cry now Ri-chan. He didn't mean to hurt you. shhh..." Yohei hushed Iris. The girl's wail reduced to sobs. Yohei was still doing his best to calm her down by rubbing her back and dancing her a little bit. everybody was gaping in awe at him as Iris finally calmed down. Her head was buried into the crook of Yohei's neck while hugging him tightly.
"you should look where you're going next time." Yohei warned the boy. " gomen nasai!!!!!! I promise!!! Gomen nasai!!!" The boy kept of saying and Anzai-sensei came into the scene. "what happened?" the old man asked seeing Yohei carrying the occasionally sobbing Iris and the pale boy. " gomen nasai Anzai-sensei!!!!! I did not see her running when I went out of the classroom!!" The boy said. Yohei was sure that he saw tear welling up his eyes.
"is she hurt?" Anzai-sensei asked Yohei. "nah, she's just scared." Yohei told him. "it's ok. you're forgiven but be careful next time ok?" The old man said and took Iris from Yohei. Everybody was still in shock when the two left and went to the gym.
"is that Yohei Mito that we just saw?" girl asked. "unbelievable." Her friend murmured.
*
The team was already warming up when Anzai-sensei and Yohei showed up by the door.
"DADDY!!!!"
Everybody turned around and saw Anzai-sensei carrying Iris with Yohei Mito behind him. The little girl jumped off her grandfather's arms and ran towards a familiar fox-eyed boy.
"what the hell?!" The Rukawa-shintai gasped as they saw Rukawa opened his arms widely to accept the little girl in his arms. "Ri-chan." Rukawa said and hugged the girl. Iris hugged him very tight while Rukawa received curious and even outraged glances from the audience (well except for the team).
"Kami-sama, Rukawa has a daughter!!!!" One of them cried and the rest of the Rukawa shintai fainted.
"what's up with those girls?" Ryota snorted, seeing their reaction. Hanamichi went to Rukawa.
"why are you here, Ri-chan? Are you here to visit your Nessan?" Hanamichi asked the girl. the still, teary-eyed girl looked at the redhead. "no. I came here to see daddy." Iris told them. "oh so you missed your daddy?" Mitsui asked coming closer as well. The little girl nodded. Rukawa noticed the girl's face was tear-streaked and that her eyes are swelling a little.
"ne Ri-chan, did you cry?" Rukawa asked her, wiping the trail of tears from her innocent face.
"she hit a boy." Anza-sensei suddenly said. "nani?!" Rukawa asked in surprise while his fox eyes widened. Iris just buried her head into his neck. "what do you mean she hit a boy, sensei?" Akagi asked.
"she was running to get here when she bumped into an unknowing student who was coming out of the classroom. She was thrown away a bit and cried." Yohei Mito explained. "what?!" Rukawa demanded while looking at Iris. Everybody was stunned by his reaction. He was acting like a real father worried about his daughter. ' who the hell is this guy?!' Rukawa thought while wiping the fresh tracks of tear off Iris' cheek. "cool down man!" Ryota told him. "Iris, tell me what happened." Rukawa told the girl. Iris pouted and just hugged him tightly. "the boy got a good deal from me. He's shaking from head to toe. Everything is fine." Yohei told him. "Dad, I hit someone." Iris mumbled against his neck. "Iris..." Rukawa murmured and soothed her back. "but Iris did not see him coming. I was running then I hit him." Iris told him. She released him and looked into his eyes.
"did Iris do something bad?" Iris asked him. Tears are threatening to flow again. "No, Iris. It's no one's fault." Rukawa told her and hugged the little girl. Anyone could say that she is Rukawa's daughter because of the way he reacted towards her.
"don't tell mommy. She will be very mad." Iris said and began to sob. " oh, don't cry. Shhhh...don't worry. Daddy will explain everything to mommy later, ok?" Rukawa said in a very soft voice. Concern and worry filled his usual cold eyes. Hanamichi smiled and motioned Rukawa to dance a little to soothe the little girl. Rukawa did not think twice and started swaying a little while whispering words of comfort in her ears.
"am I seeing things right?" Haruko asked Ayako. The older girl smiled and nodded as she watched the cute scene in front of them.
"daddy please don't tell mommy." Iris sobbed. "don't worry. Everything will be ok." Rukawa told her. All Anzai-sensei could do is smile as he watch his granddaughter change this cold young boy. "why wouldn't you want to tell your mommy about what happened?" Kogure dared to ask. The little girl looked at him. "because she wouldn't let me come here anymore is she knew what happened." Iris told him. "oh, I'm sorry." Kogure apologized and moved closer to the girl. He brushed a couple of strands of hair off her forehead and tucked in behind her ear.
It took a few minutes more before the team resumed practice. Iris stayed with Anzai-sensei at the side while the boys started playing a friendly match.
"go daddy!!!!!!" Iris cheered as Rukawa did a perfect lay-up shot. Rukawa was in a very good mood that afternoon. He doesn't know if he's really nuts but for sure, he's enjoying playing the role as Iris' daddy. He could see that the girl needs a father figure that somehow she couldn't find in her brother or her grandfather.
The game ended with Rukawa's team losing with one point. Somehow, his mood changed. Irritation crawled up his throat. He brushed the sweat off his face and arms and went towards the bench for a drink. Obviously, Iris was there waiting for him with a fresh towel and a bottle of water. "daddy!!!" Iris yelled and gave with the towel and the water bottle.
"thanks, baby." Rukawa told her and patted her head. He slumped down the bench next to Hanamichi who was drying his hair. "you two are quite exceptional today." Anzai-sensei suddenly approaches them. "Arigatou, sensei." The two of them answered in unison. "if your teamwork would continue for the rest of the games, I believe we'll have a great shot in the finals." The old man said and walked away towards Akagi and Kogure.
"Ri-chan, how are you?" Ayako asked and gave the girl a packet of juice. " daddy's the best!" Iris told her and took the packet. She went to Rukawa and held towards him. Rukawa got what she meant and took it from her. He popped in the straw and gave it back. "there you go." He said. Iris smiled and climbed up the bench and sat between Hanamichi and Rukawa.
"mommy will be coming home late tonight." Iris suddenly said. Rukawa stared at her. "why, Iris?" Hanamichi asked. The girl took a playful sip on her juice before she answered. "because mommy's going to practice." Iris said. "practice what?" Mitsui chipped in. "she's going to practice her stunts with Mito-chan." Iris said. Rukawa's eyes darted around the court and realized that Yohei Mito is nowhere to be found.
"you mean their practicing routines?" Ayako asked. The little girl nodded. There was a pause.
"daddy?" Iris asked. "hmm?" Rukawa mumbled while looking at his little princess. "may I be your princess?" Iris asked. Her blue eyes looked deep into his. Rukawa smiled and kissed her forehead. Everyone smiled at his gesture. "Of course, Hime-chan. You are my little princess." Rukawa told her. "then mommy is your Queen?" Iris asked with a big smile on her face. Rukawa blushed, making Hanamichi laugh. "Shut up do'aho." Rukawa snapped at Hanamichi. "Baka kitsune." Hanamichi shot back with a crazy smile on his lips. "go Rukawa." Mitsui snickered. "am I right daddy?" Iris shook his arm to get his attention. Everybody was silent, waiting for his reply.
"of course she is, Iris. She is my queen." Rukawa replied.
*
"is she ok?" Helois asked as she and Yohei made a round off around the rink. "she's fine. She cried a bit but Rukawa was there to comfort your baby." Yohei said with a crazy smile. Helois was about to say something but he held her by the waist and lifted her high. Helois sighed and rolled her eyes. When he brought her down and did a couple of axis she opened the subject again.
"are you sure she's not injured?" Helois asked again. "Helois, you're getting annoying. I told you she's fine. If something bad happened to her, Rukawa would have killed the boy she hit before anyone could react." Yohei said. They did a 3600 spin and did their last round off. "ok! Take five!" Houjo-san yelled and they went off the rink. They sat with a cup of coffee in front of them. "you know, there's something about Rukawa that I don't know if it's good or not." Yohei suddenly said. Helois looked up and gave him a questioning look.
"he's become possessive on Iris." Yohei said. Helois sighed. "and I'm not saying that it's bad but you know, I think he's liking the idea as being the father figure to Iris." He added. Helois was unable to speak.
"it may not be long until he becomes possessive of her sister too." Yohei said with a smile.
"nani?!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, we're going home now." Anzai-sensei said and took Iris' bag. "Bye minna-san!" Iris said and waved. "bye Iris!" the players answered. Rukawa bent down and kissed her on the forehead. "bye, Hime-chan." He murmured. " bye daddy!!!" Iris said and kissed him on the cheeks too. "Ja ne!" Anzai- sensei said and took Iris' hand and lead her out. "bye!" Iris cried, still waving her hands. Rukawa watched as he precious little princess disappeared through the door.
"caught you off guard ne, Rukawa-kun?" Ayako asked. He turned around and saw all his teammates smiling at him. He just shook his head and turned towards the shower room. ' yes, she is my queen.' Rukawa mused as he opened his locker. ' she will be.'
