DISCLAMER: I do not own "Yu Yu Hakusho" the movie called "The Parent Trap" or anything else I may mention in this fic. I do however, own a couple original characters. These original characters are NOT reincarnated versions of me, and they are also NOT Mary-Sue fangirls who chase Kurama and Hiei around. Have I made myself clear? Good.

A/N: This chapter will NOT be a happy one. I'll be leaving to go on a trip at the beginning of August and I'll be gone for a week, and I probably won't be able to update before I go…sorry! Enjoy the chapter!

NOTE: I don't know how to convert American money to Japanese money, so every time an amount of money is mentioned, it will be in American money.


"Are We Related?"

Chapter 20: The Fallout Between Ayame and Her Father


It was a huge relief for Ayame now that her mother knows the truth. She was glad because now she does not have to do anymore pretending, she could actually be herself from now on. Now, Ayame had to call Shina so they could find a way to get their parents to meet again.

'This won't be easy, but we have to try.'

She wanted to call her sister, but it was almost midnight. 'I'll do it tomorrow.'

Ayame climbed into Shina's bed and turned off the light on the nightstand. She did not go to sleep right away, so all she did was just lie there and think. She started thinking about her parents and how nice it would be to be a functional family with her mom, her dad, and her sister. Then memories of one horrible night started coming to her mind…the night Sakyo confessed to her about his REAL lifestyle. She wished she could forget about this particular night, but she knew it would stay with her forever…

FLASHBACK

It was a beautiful summer night. Thirteen-year-old Ayame was ready for bed and dressed in her pajamas, which consisted of a light pink spaghetti strap top and shorts with pink flowers on them and her hair was up in a messy bun. Ayame always decided on her own when she went to bed. She looked at her clock and saw it was almost 11:30, which was normally early for a summer night. She usually went to bed and hour after that because she liked watching TV late at night, but she was bored and decided to read part of one of her teen girly magazines, and then go to bed. "I'm gonna go tell dad goodnight…only if he's off the phone. Jeez, what could a man his age have to talk about on the phone for three hours? And I thought I was on the phone a lot!"

Ayame walked out of her room and down the hall towards Sakyo's study. The door was part-way open and she heard some talking. "Crap! He is still on the phone?" Ayame whispered to herself.

"Oh well, I'll just go to bed now." Ayame was about to walk back into her room, when she heard her father say something that got her attention.

"Yes, he is dead. He should not have messed around with me, and for that I shot him. He knew what would happen if he double-crossed me."

Ayame stood frozen outside the door of her father's study. 'What is he talking about? He killed who?' Ayame stood in a spot where her father would not be able to see her. She wanted to know what was going on. She continued to listen.

"He's gone now, we don't have to deal with him and his lies anymore."

Ayame listened for a few more minutes and then Sakyo hung up the phone. 'Is he in the mafia? What is going on?' Ayame was scared. She did not know what to do. Hurry and go back to her room before he sees her? Confront him?

She heard footsteps coming closer to the door, and knew he would see her even if she tried going back to her room. Ayame calmed herself down the best she could when Sakyo opened the door. "Did you want something?"

"Oh, hey dad…I just wanted to say goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Ayame started walking towards her room, when she finally got the courage to speak up about what she recently heard.

She stopped, and turned around to face her father. "Who did you just kill?" There, she did it, but she knew now that there was no turning back after she had asked that question.

Sakyo was shocked at what his daughter just asked. "How much of that conversation did you hear?"

"The last few minutes." Ayame replied.

"Come in here with me. I need to talk to you." Sakyo led Ayame into his study and had her take a seat. He wanted to wait a little bit longer before telling her about is lifestyle, but he thought he might as well tell her now since she found out a small part of it on her own. He was prepared to accept the fact that Ayame might hate him for awhile after all this, but knew there was no getting around it.

Ayame sat and listened as her father spoke. He told her about his life and how he got started in the business he is currently in. Many things were running through Ayame's mind as Sakyo spoke to her, and she could not believe what she was hearing.

He proceeded to tell her how he met Shizuru, but did not tell her about Shina. As for as Ayame knew, she was an only child and things did not work out between her parents. He never said Shizuru was a bad person, but said that he wished things could have been better, and even said that he still had feelings for her. He told Ayame that he did not know where her mother was, and she knew he was not telling her the truth.

Ayame was upset, and that would be putting it lightly. All her life she had wanted to meet her mother, and all her father could say is he doesn't know where she is?

Sakyo looked at his daughter and started speaking again. "Ayame, I'm sorry about lying to you all these years, and I'm sorry I'm not the best father in the world—"

Ayame cut him off. "Damn right! How could you lie to me all this time?" Ayame raised her voice as she spoke.

"I told you I am sorry. I did not want to tell you any of this while you were still a young child and I wanted to wait until you were at least in your teens. I know 'sorry' won't be enough for everything I've done—"

Ayame interrupted again. "Asshole! I hate you!" With that, Ayame ran out of Sakyo's study and back into her room with tears in her eyes.

Sakyo was calm. He was not done talking to her. He followed her to her room and saw she closed the door. He gently knocked on the door and all Ayame did was yell "Go away!"

"Open the door, Ayame."

"And if I don't, what are you going to do? Kill me?"

"Stop it. Open the door now!" Sakyo replied, with a more harsh tone due to his impatience.

Ayame opened her bedroom door and Sakyo walked right in. "What do you want?"

"I want to tell you one more thing."

"What?" Ayame did not want to talk to her father, or look at him.

Sakyo looked at her and made sure she was listening before he spoke. "I wanted to tell you that I will never do anything to hurt you. The people I work with know their lives will end if they are responsible for anything happening to you." Sakyo walked over to Ayame and wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace, though Ayame did not return the hug.

"I want to see my mother." Ayame said quietly.

"I'm sorry, Ayame, but that is not going to happen right now."

Ayame raised her voice. "Then when the hell will it happen? Huh? I hope you're telling me the truth when you said she is still alive!"

"Ayame…"

Ayame was screaming her lungs out. "So, in your Black Black Club business, or whatever it's called, how many women have you raped? Was I born because you raped mom? Is that the reason she isn't around?"

That last statement had crossed the line for Sakyo. Out of impulse, he went up to his daughter and grabbed her shoulders and started talking to her through gritted teeth. "Don't you ever talk like that about your mother or myself again! Do you understand me? I loved her and I still do."

Ayame could see anger in her father's eyes. She knew she had pissed him off, and she knew she would when she said what she said. "You better apologize to me now, Ayame!"

Ayame snapped. "No!" Sakyo let go of Ayame. As soon as Ayame was free from his grip, she quickly raised her right hand and slapped her father across the face as hard as she could. She was mad at and thought he deserved it.

Sakyo just stood there in shock. 'She has some nerve to do that to me.' Ayame just stood there as well, knowing she may have gotten herself in more trouble. "Bastard!" she mumbled.

She suddenly started talking to him again. "When I go to the mall or anywhere else and see little girls with their mothers having a good time, do you know how that makes me feel? I've always wanted to know what it was like to go to the mall and have fun with my mother! Yes, I have fun when Violet (the housekeeper) takes me shopping, and I also have a lot of fun when I'm with my friends, but it's nowhere near the same as it would be if I was with my mom! Forget it! You are such an asshole!"

"I've had enough of this for one night. It's one o'clock in the morning and I'm tired." Sakyo left Ayame's room and Ayame locked her bedroom door after he left. She did not want to talk to him. She had been crying for the past hour when he was talking to her and her face was a mess. She went into the bathroom that was connected to her bedroom and washed her face. She then laid down in her bed and cried herself to sleep.

Sakyo was indeed mad that his daughter said such horrible things to him, and even slapped him! But, he admitted to himself that he deserved it. He decided not to punish her because she had every right to be upset with him…he could not blame her for her actions.

END FLASHBACK

'That was some night.' Ayame thought to herself. Of course, she remembered not talking to her father for a week after that incident. But, of course, they had long since made up. Ayame lay in Shina's bed and looked at the time. "Wow, 2:30 a.m." Ayame closed her eyes and fell asleep shortly after.
