Family Portrait
Janae-Ai
I don't own Fruits Basket or the characters used in this fiction, yet I do own Sohma Janae, who will make a few appearances in this fiction. Parts of this fiction – written in the italics and the Kyou and Kagura fluff are somewhat helped by my bezzie KyouXKagura from this site! Remember to thank her for this fiction! I will! THANKIES KXK!
Summery: Kagura goes to find her father, Huya in Hiroshima to find that he has a new wife, Arwen and a daughter, Janae that she had never been told about. She's asked to move in with him and that would mean leaving everyone behind – especially Kyou… KYOUXKAGURA
Kagura's mother was sitting on the sofa, or well lying on the
sofa when Kagura walked in and sat on her knees on the chair opposite
the sofa.
"Mother, we need to talk." Kagura said as she ran a
hand through her brown hair obviously nervous. Kagura's mother
looked to her daughter with sad eyes, this was about her father and
she knew it… Kagura had been asking questions about him lately.
"Of
course, dear." She replied.
"So… who is he? What is he like?
Do I look like him? I mean… what's his name? Does he want to meet
me?" Kagura could barely remember her father. She could only
remember the blurry trousers he wore from a distant memory.
Her
father always wore tattered black denim material that had holes in
them. His arms opened wide to her and she was around six. She smiled
as she found herself up into her father's lap.
"Atta Girl,
Kagura." Kagura's father said as he ruffled her hair. Yet Kagura
couldn't remember much after that because she could only remember
seeing Kyou that one time – she couldn't remember if that was
after or before the arguments. But she could remember sitting up in
her bed and hearing glasses breaking, her mother crying and shouting
nasty things to him. Kagura could also remember saying: "Momma
doesn't mean those nasty things, daddy." But that was all she
could remember.
"Well… he-" Kagura's mother was cut off as she looked to
Kagura; she was so desperate for answers that she wanted to
know.
"What I want to know is: can I meet him? Will he like me?
And… why haven't you told me about him after he left?" The boar
wondered this as she looked to her mother.
"I er-" Kagura's
mother stopped. She really couldn't tell Kagura about how her
father now has another family with Arwen and that they have a
daughter of their own… or that they were arguing over the affair…
she, herself, still couldn't get over the fact that he had stayed
with his mistress and was still with her now. "Darling…"
"And
for that matter, where has he been all my life? Doesn't he care? Is
he so cold hearted that he doesn't care that he has a daughter?"
Now she didn't mean to hide the letters from him but she didn't
want Kagura to get hurt by meeting him once more and finding out she
had a half-sister… truly she was scared that Kagura would go away
and live with him if he offered.
"Momma, I know where he lives, in Hiroshima." Kagura
confessed.
"What, how do you know?" She snapped. She couldn't
have found the letters could she? She couldn't be serious about
leaving and going to see him.
"Shigure-San offered to help me
when I talked to him." Kagura said. "He helped me and we found
the address… I want to meet him." Kagura seemed serious. "I
want to go over and then after speaking to him organise a meeting…"
Kagura didn't want to leave Kaibara – or well – mostly Kyou…
she didn't want to leave her true love.
Knocking on the door of the house in Hiroshima Kagura was amazed that
this was actually where her father stayed… what was going to happen
now? What was she going to say and how was him going to react seeing
her? She still couldn't believe that she was about to meet her dad
again. The door opened to a young woman with long brown hair around
her waist, this hair was really wavy and quite dark brown. She had
green eyes and they were looking straight at her, who was she?
Suddenly Kagura wasn't feeling as happy as she was.
"Konichiwa,
can I help you?" The woman asked.
"H-Hai… I'm looking for
Sohma Huya." She said as she looked to the woman.
"Oh… okay
give me a minute okay." The emerald eyed female said as she closed
the door and went to find Kagura's father. It wasn't long until
Kagura's father entered the picture by opening the door.
"Oh
my, it's you… it's really you.'" Kagura thought as she
saw him. She couldn't speak as she saw him. She just speechless.
"Hai?" Huya asked. Kagura nodded.
"Don't you remember me,
or recognise me?" Kagura asked with a weak smile on her face. "It's
me…" Huya was still wondering what was going and it was obvious
on his face. "Kagura…"
