Dabbles of the KanSou Kind
The following chapters are dabbles of the couple Kaname Chidori and Sousuke Sagara from Full Metal Panic. This is my first attempt at dabbles, so I don't know how good they will be.
Each chapter will be based off a song from my collection of music.
Full Metal Panic and its characters belong to its creators. Sanjuro and other Erlking members are of my creation.
Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Father's Mission
Song: "Soldier's Daughter" and "Lemon Parade" by Tonic
Sousuke was a soldier. A man trained to kill. A man built to destroy evil. He thought that was what he was born to do. What he was MENT to do. He was the worst of humanity. Though he fought for good, he still killed. It was his job, after all. The loneliness of the thought burned his heart without him even knowing it. When Kaname entered his life, he began to notice the burn. During the Kowloon incident, when he thought he had lost her forever, the lonely burn engulfed his entire heart and soul. It took a swift knee to the face from the very woman he had thought was dead for that burn to wash away. When they began dating, Sousuke forgot the very word 'loneliness'. Once they were married, he was sure he would never be alone again.
But the crow of war still pecked at his heart.
It was not until he watched his daughter, Kimiko Sagara, being born that he knew. She was the opposite of what he did in battle. She was life. Life that HE, Sousuke Sagara Sergeant Major of Milthril, had created! A soldier's daughter born into a world of peace. Her birth symbolized the very thing he fought for on the battlefield. She was innocence. She was love. She was pure, happy life.
She laughed when he first held her in his arms. She was tiny, her black hair was already growing in (Sousuke thought all newborns were bald). When she opened her eyes, he saw her mother's strength.
"Hello, Kimiko." He said, his voice almost gravel though overjoyed. "I'm your father"
Her father. He was a father. Something he never remembered ever having. Badakshan's Tiger and Kalinin were the closest men he ever knew to be fatherly, and they were both soldiers like he.
Sousuke felt something wet on his right cheek. Must have been a leak upstairs or something…
He could feel his wife's warm, loving gaze as he held their daughter. She knew what he was thinking.
His own gazed was fixed on his daughter's face. It was then that he made a proclamation, "I promise you that I will be the best father I can be. Kimiko…I promise to teach you what I could not learn. You will be the best of humanity, something I could never be. I love you, my daughter"
"You here that, Kimi-chan" Kaname told her daughter when the newborn was back in her mother's arms, "You have the best daddy in the world"
