I think they get together by the end...But I don't remember...I hope.
The boy who had picked up her books in the hallway at school was long gone. And Fuyuki had become a lot more violate. He wasn't as happy anymore now that Keroro was gone.
"It was your fault!" Fuyuki couldn't take the blame. He was just lashing out at almost everyone except himself. "You should have been tougher. Made him more afraid. You're supposed to be tough." He told Momoka.
Momoka didn't like hearing those sort of things. She knew Fuyuki was grieving, but she wouldn't take this sort of crap. It wasn't all about Keroro. He seemed to never give her the attention she needed anymore.
It was like he was using her. And Momoka never liked being used. She wanted to have faith in Fuyuki, but...She didn't know if she could be with him if he was just going to be crying over Keroro and so mean to her.
"Fuyuki...We need to talk." She put her hand on his arm.
"What is it? Did you find him?" Fuyuki asked desperately. Momoka didn't know what he'd do to Keroro once he found him.
"We need to talk about us, Fuyuki. Not Keroro." Momoka sighed.
"What about us? There's not much to talk about." Fuyuki was in the dark. He stood up trying to figure out what Momoka meant. He leaned forward to kiss her.
"No, Fuyuki...I'm...I'm breaking up with you..." Momoka played with a handkerchief, her stomach tightening in knots, "You...You just don't seem that interested. You're only interested in Keroro lately. I'm sorry."
Fuyuki just looked shocked trying to figure out what words he could say to bring her back as Momoka turned away.
"N-no...Wait, Momoka! Come back!" He cried desperately. But she was gone.
Fuyuki tried everything he could to win Momoka back, romantic flowers, journals and rhymes of old stories all sorts of things. But none of them worked.
"What...What do I do?" Fuyuki asked as his father looked at some charts. Haru was more into researching aliens than even him. "I can't win her back! She's just so...So disinterested."
"You have to. The only reason the Nishizawas have backed the sword party is because of you." Haru stood up, "You're job was to keep Momoka happy and distracted while I played nice with her parents. And you screwed that up."
Fuyuki looked at the ground. "I...I didn't know how! How are relationships supposed to work? I treated her like a friend, but you said that wasn't romantic enough so I started kissing her more, but then she broke up with me!" Fuyuki didn't know what to do.
"She's not a normal girl. You need to win her back. Don't disappoint me again, Fuyuki." Haru talked to him as a boss would to his employer, not a father to his son. He stood towering over his child.
"I'm sorry-" Fuyuki sniffled, almost pathetically.
"Two of the three known members of the Keroro Platoon have been lost to us. Because of you, Keroro has escaped."
"Three. Three of the four known members." Fuyuki corrected, "One is a rogue ninja like agent. I don't know what to do with him. He attacked Keroro the other day-"
"I'll look into him later," Haru offered, "But still, you let Keroro get away and somehow that Kululu fellow managed to escape. It's been a bad time." He looked angry.
"We still have Tamama though!" Fuyuki reminded. Although he was in Momoka's custody and would likely remain there for life. "We...We could try to make an example of him." He tried to impress his father with a wicked plan, "Torture him alive and broadcast it, it would send a message to the other members of the Keroro Platoon. Maybe they'd come to save him."
Haru thought about it. "Can't. Every moment he's with Momoka he's safe. And since she no longer listens to you, I doubt she'd allow her pet to be tortured alive just because you wished it. You really screwed up, Fuyuki."
Fuyuki looked sad. He was supposed to be the one always at his father's side, unlike Aki and Natsumi. He owed his father to be great and here he was failing.
"We could lure him here! If he's not on Nishizawa territory we could use him!" Fuyuki suggested.
Haru gave a stiff nod.
Fuyuki had one last chance to prove himself.
It was easy to lure Tamama away from the mansion. Tamama hadn't yet heard the news that Momoka and Fuyuki had broken up so when he saw a letter sent by Fuyuki that he should come visit Fuyuki, he assumed he was allowed to.
He didn't know how cruel Fuyuki was.
"Just remember after this," Haru told Fuyuki behind closed doors, "You have to win Momoka back. She's the funding we need for our organization, that's why I told you to knock her over and pick up her books at precisely the right moment."
Fuyuki nodded, "I know. You knew she'd fall in love with me, I just needed to always be in the right time and place."
Tamama gasped. Fukki conned Momocchi? So...He wasn't really nice or in love with her? Tamama was shocked. He tried to move away, to get back to Momoka's mansion.
Fuyuki heard him scurry away. He smiled.
"Grab him, dad." Fuyuki grinned.
Haru grabbed Tamama and strapped him onto the wall as if he was a hanging deer head. Tamama struggled against his chains.
"I'm Momoka's! You can't do anything to me!" Tamama screamed.
"I've always wanted to learn about keronian anatomy." Haru told him. He dumped worm like things over Tamama's body, "This should suck out your blood. We can dissect them later."
They were leeches. As their teeth hooked into Tamama's body he screamed. He tried desperately to struggle, the cuffs cutting into his wrists.
"Struggle all you want, but tomorrow, you'll be live on television." Fuyuki smiled.
There was a knock on that door at the moment.
Haru and Fuyuki glanced at each other.
"HELP ME!" Tamama screamed.
The door was kicked open as Momoka walked in. "...Tamama?" She looked shocked.
"What are you doing here, Miss Nishizawa?" Haru tried to straighten his tie and look professional.
"I wanted to talk about the funding for the sword party, now that Fuyuki might not be the next Nishizawa to rule my empire." Momoka addressed. She glanced at Tamama and walked up to him. "Leeches...What are you doing to him."
Tamama was crying. Momoka quickly picked the leeches off, dropped them onto the ground and squashed them with her boot. "There, there. You're free." She unstrapped him and held him in her arms.
"Momoka, I overheard them talking about something real mean!" Tamama sniffled, "They said that Fuyuki was just using you the whole time, and acting nice, being in the right time and place to make you like him. Something about falsely knocking down your books to look nice for funding?"
Momoka's eyes widened. No...No it can't be. She glared at her ex-boyfriend. "Consider it officially over then. You can not con me anymore. My money is withdrawn from your party. Who cares about your dumb dreams to rule the universe? The Nishizawa's surely won't help you."
Haru looked frightened at that statement. He pushed Fuyuki forward to fix this.
"N-no! No, Momoka, it wasn't anything like that!" Fuyuki looked up at Momoka, desperately. "I mean yeah I dated you for my father, but I really did like you! I love you, Momoka. What's the matter of getting an extra benefit if it makes us happy?" Fuyuki asked desperately.
Haru face-palmed. He knew that girls didn't want to hear that.
Momoka growled as she held Tamama tighter. "It's over. And I never want to speak to you again." She looked at Tamama's bruises, "Why would you hurt him like this? You know Tamama is my important pet. You aren't the man I thought you were."
"I needed to use him to find Keroro. I need to find him. He can't just leave me like everybody else. Like...What you're doing." Fuyuki was desperate as he grabbed Momoka's arm. He was frightened, so frightened looking.
Momoka hissed. "I'm leaving because you don't want my real self. You just want this dark side that's not the full me." She walked away.
"Momoka! Wait, please...I can't...I can't do this without you. I don't care about the funding. Just give me one more chance. I'll never hurt Tamama again. I'll do anything!" Fuyuki begged falling to the ground, "I...I really do care about you. You're the most important person to me."
Momoka glanced at him. She sighed, "Fine. Me or aliens?" She gave him a simple choice, "You can continue torturing aliens and pursuing them for research or you can have a relationship with me. Either way your organization doesn't get funded so you're just choosing based on your heart." She knew aliens were the most important thing to Fuyuki.
Fuyuki didn't know what to do. He knew he wanted to choose Momoka, but he didn't know if it was okay. He looked at his father for guidance.
'Aliens' His father mouthed.
Fuyuki nodded. "Aliens." He chose. He'd do whatever Haru told him, like a simple puppet.
Momoka looked angry and hurt for a moment, but she left.
The sword party officially wasn't funded by the Nishizawa's any longer.
Haru looked at his crying son incredibly disappointed. He hadn't thought that Fuyuki would be a failure but as soon as the boy had started developing real feelings for the Nishizawa girl they had to stop embezzling funds and their mission was dying.
I suppose that was why I had two children though. Haru sighed. He hadn't seen Natsumi in years, but he was sure she'd come back to him with just a few lines of attention. That's how children usually were, they always wanted the parent who abandoned them wanting to make sure they weren't abandoned again.
He had chosen Fuyuki originally as the child to get in the divorce because of Fuyuki's love for research and aliens, they were a lot alike and Natsumi had all brawn and no brain, but Natsumi could be a suitable replacement for him.
"You've disappointed me for the last time, Fuyuki." Haru lifted him up by the collar.
"I won't do it again! Don't throw me aside and abandon me! Don't do what Mom did!" Fuyuki begged, "I'll do anything."
"I'm not going to abandon you." Haru reassured, stroking his son's hair.
Fuyuki sighed.
"I'm going to just put you away for a while. With her." Haru threatened. This was Fuyuki's punishment. "And if you die during your imprisonment, at least you'll do something useful."
Fuyuki looked frightened, "No...Not her! She's a weapon, not...Not something people are supposed to interact with."
Haru dragged Fuyuki away to the cage of a room they called Mois's room. Opening the door he threw him inside.
"Maybe you'll figure out how to escape like that other keronian did. You should have stopped that too." Haru hissed.
Fuyuki cried on the floor. Mois hadn't woken up from her slumber, her neck now tied with strings too. Fuyuki looked frightened and dragged himself away from her.
But there was no escape as Haru locked the door.
Haru visited his ex-wife's house for the first time in perhaps years. He had a daughter to retrieve.
He and Aki only ever saw each other in politics nowadays.
"Haru." Aki hissed. She didn't stop her beasts from hissing too. "For the last time I won't disband the shield party. But I've heard from the news you struck some bad luck." She mocked.
"Aki, you're as beautiful as the day we first met." Haru had a smooth tongue, he was quite a charmer. He kissed her hand.
Aki looked annoyed. "What do I owe the pleasure? Is this another one of your things where we hold a temporary truce and then boom, another baby's happened?"
Haru shook his head, "I've come for my daughter, Natsumi. I want to see her. Has she grown bigger?"
Natsumi having heard her name ran to the door. She looked shocked to see Haru. "...F-father...?" She asked.
Haru out-stretched his arms, ready for Natsumi to hug him.
Natsumi just was stunned, stunned and shocked. "Why are you here?"
"I want to take you home of course. I need your help with the sword party. We've struck some bad luck and you're the only one I can trust to have my back." Haru buttered Natsumi up with compliments.
Natsumi didn't like Haru much, but she was desperate to have her father back in her life. She did enjoy the attention he was giving her. "Fuyuki can help you. Since, I mean...You chose to take him with you instead of me in the divorce settlement." Natsumi reminded.
She was bitter over that. That and she didn't agree with the sword party at all. She didn't want to go off of her planet.
"I won't let you take Natsumi from me." Aki hissed, putting her arm around her daughter.
Haru frowned. "Well...That's the thing...Fuyuki can't help. The...The poor boy was killed by awful aliens." Haru lied.
He'd be dead soon enough.
Natsumi looked shocked. Aki started visibly crying at the news.
"I need my daughter to help me get revenge. To help me." Haru begged.
"No." Aki refused.
"Natsumi, please...Don't leave me. I want you in my life." Haru begged again.
Natsumi bit her lip. She couldn't let the aliens just get away with what had happened with Fuyuki. So she took Haru's hand. "O-okay...I want revenge against the aliens who murdered Fuyuki."
"Attagirl." Haru smiled.
"I'm coming with!" Aki declared, "I...I need to get clues as to what happened to Fuyuki."
Haru bit his lip. "Wouldn't you rather stay at home and do work...?"
"No!" Aki shook her head. She had the odd suspicion that Haru had been responsible for Fuyuki's demise. She needed to prove this before he could hurt Natsumi.
After all Natsumi seemed to be easily conned by his affection. She was all his now, as Aki had been long before.
She needed to save her daughter even if she hadn't been able to save her son.
Haru begrudgingly let Aki come.
Keroro had been flying overheard on a hovercraft, trying to find Giroro by tracking random explosions. His hovercraft sputtered when he overheard some odd people talking below about Fuyuki's death.
His eyes grew wide with shock and hurt. He shook his head over and over again. Couldn't be the same Fuyuki. His Fuyuki.
But it still hurt to think about the possibility that Fuyuki was dead. He crashed into a tree.
"OW!" He yelled, falling to the ground.
Kululu poked him with a stick. "Guess we found the captain."
"Keroro? I guess you're not dead." Giroro shrugged.
Keroro leaped up. He hugged Giroro and almost hugged Kululu. He stopped himself because Kululu was kind of creepy.
"I found you!" He smiled. That had been easy.
"And now Tamama is the only one left." Giroro grinned, "Then Kululu can help us get off this miserable planet by making us a space ship."
Kululu nodded. He couldn't wait to get off that mud ball.
"I know where Tamama is!" Keroro grinned. He just hugged Giroro, "I'm so glad to see you! I never thought I'd see you again."
He pushed Fuyuki out of his head, happy to have his old friends.
My sister doesn't like evil Fuyuki, so please tell me ideas how to make Haru worse or if you dislike Haru or Fuyuki more in this fic.
And review!
