Chapter 4; Risane


-Miyagi POV-

I was sitting in my office grading some papers by myself (Kamijou had already went home).

"Miyagi!" Shinobu-chin shouted rushing into the office.

"Shinobu-chin, what's wrong?" I asked.

"It's…hah, it's…" Shinobu tries to say panting.

"Calm down, tell me what's going on."

"It's *sniff* Risako-nii, she's…*hic*…She's…"

"Spit it out."

"She's dead!" Shinobu says and breaks down crying into my shoulder while I just stay there frozen.

"What?"

"She, *hic* and her new husband, *sniff* died in a car crash *hic*." Shinobu-chin replied.

I was heartbroken seeing my little Shinobu like this and so I gently hugged the crying boy.


-A few days later; at the funeral-

Shinobu was so upset then. Today we couldn't stop looking at Risako's picture. In fact everyone was upset, especially the families.

"What about that little girl?" I hear a woman say.

"Yeah who's going to take her in?" said a man.

"Maybe the brother."

"But he's so young."

"Hey Shinobu what are they talking about?" I ask.

"Oh that's right you never heard." Shinobu said wiping some small tears off his face. "Risako-nii and her husband had a daughter, Risane I think." Oh so that's who they were talking about…Wait say what now? Risako had child? I didn't even know she was pregnant?

Normally I'd say, "Why wasn't I told", but I'm exactly part of the family anymore, and I couldn't say I was dating Shinobu without seriously bad results.

"How old is she?" I ask.

"She just turned 3," Shinobu replied.

"Can I meet her?" I ask.

"Sure, okay." Shinobu-chin replies. We walk to the outside where a little toddler girl with long blonde hair was sitting near some flowers with her back toward us.

"Risane," Shinobu calls and the girl turns her head to us, revealing her cute face and dark blue eyes.

"Shinobu Mommy!" she says and runs up to us and hugs Shinobu.

"Shinobu Mommy?" I ask.

"I don't know, she just insists on calling me that." Shinobu-chin replied while hugging the little girl back.

"Who are you?" Risane asks me.

"My name's Yoh Miyagi, I used to be with mommy a long time ago." I replied.

"You're handsome mister." She said in an adorable voice. God she's so cute.

"I see you've met Risane." Me and Shinobu turn to see a certain elderly man.

"Grandpa!" Risane breaks away from Shinobu and runs up to Shinobu's father, Aka the Dean of Mitsuhashi University and my boss.

"So I know it's not my business, but who will be taking Risane in?" I ask.

"Still undecided," The dean replies.

"Miyagi, can we talk alone?" Shinobu asked.

"Okay," I reply and he pulls me toward a private area.

"We could take her." He says…wait what?

"Um, Shinobu-chin what do you mean?" I ask.

"We can raise Risane." He said more clearly.

"Are you serious?" I ask.

"Yes, she's my sister's daughter." Shinobu-chin replies with a serious expression.

"Okay, but under one condition," I say. "You take cooking classes because although your cabbage is good, Risane is going to need more than that in order to grow up healthy."

"Okay," Shinobu says and we walk back to the Dean and Risane.

"Dad, me and Miyagi have decided to take in Risane." Shinobu says.

"Are you sure?" the Dean asks.

"Yes,"

"Well, it will be nice for Risane to be with such a sweet couple like you two." The Dean says…Wait what did he just say.

"Wait what, you knew?" I ask surprised.

"Yeah I knew the whole time, it was pretty obvious. But as long as you're happy it's okay."

Oh thank god he approved.

"Risane from now on Miyagi and Shinobu will be your new family okay?" the Dean says to Risane who then looks at us and smiles.

"Yeah!" she says and runs to me, gesturing for me to pick her up. I take her into my arms and host her up.

"Well looks she's already Daddy's little girl." The Dean jokes and I blush a bit.

"I call you Papa, from now on!" she says.

"Okay you little rascal." I say and tap her nose.


-The next day-

Today is the day Risane moves in with me and Shinobu, and just finished setting up her new room.

Ding Dong

I head to the door and open to find the Dean and Risane.

"Take good care of Risane and Shinobu for Miyagi." He says.

"I promise," I tell him and Risane comes inside. "Well Risane welcome to your new home." I say.

"I like it already Papa!" she says and Shinobu walks in.

"Hey Risane," he says holding something behind his back, I know what's there. "Me and Papa got you something." He says and takes out a big panda plush and hands it too Risane who's eyes sparkle.

"I love it!" She says. "I'm so happy that you were the ones who took me in."

"We're glad too." I say crouching down next to her and kiss her on the forehead.


Aw how sweet; next is a special chapter, so tune in.
