She saw the ones (Kamen Rider Ghost)
Fits in the same universe as Yelling Small Girl/Small Girl After All, but is futurefic featuring an original character, and some of my headcanon for the series. (Along with a darker take on Alain's relationship with the Fukami siblings, and assumptions that a certain character may not be redeemed as may happen in canon.)
------
She saw them long before the rest of the world did.
Fukami Chiyo had seen the dark shapes slipping among the people. Occasionally saw monsters where others saw havoc. She asked her friends, but they didn't see either dark shapes or monsters.
Chiyo once let slip to her mother, who had grown thoughtful, and told her not to tell anybody else but family. So Chiyo didn't. Her uncle Makoto came by to her apartment one day, with her honorary uncle Takeru, and asked her about what she'd seen. She'd told them in full what she'd seen, did her best to give them locations and times, though she wasn't quite sure of some of them.
She thought about the meaning of her name. "Thousand Worlds", Chiyo knew, and she always assumed she'd been so named because her mother thought it pretty, not that her mother could have guessed what she could see.
Her uncles told her about the Ganma, how her uncle Makoto was essentially in a Ganma body with his human soul encased by a Ganma Eyecon. How the two of them had strengthened the walls between worlds so that no Ganma could come through anymore.
Except apparently they could once more.
And then her uncle Takeru had placed one hand on hers and gently explained why she could see. Her mother, like her uncle Makoto, had been trapped in the Ganma world. Chiyo had been conceived there, with a Ganma father. Nobody was quite sure how that had happened, even her honorary aunt Akari, but Chiyo had been born, and seemed so normal that it was easy to forget she was anything but human. Young-looking for her age, but human.
Her mother had given her that name to remind herself of Chiyo's origins. The identity of her father was a mystery, but she could tell from her uncle Makoto's expression that he had his suspicions.
Chiyo was to stay out of this, they both warned. Even though she seemed human for all intents and purposes, there was always the possibility that she might be recognized as or considered Ganma. Her mother and uncle Makoto were, despite human origins. And her uncle Makoto told her of the horror that was the Ganma world.
When the full Ganma invasion came, Chiyo stayed out of the way. But she did, upon seeing the higher level, human-looking Ganma, wonder which one was her father. She'd never ask, of course. Her mother had told her, one evening, that her Ganma parent would never regard her as his child, just another Ganma. It sounded like a life that she would never want, so she never looked for trouble.
She prayed each day that the trouble would never find her.

Unfortunately for Alain, he doesn't realize that she takes after Makoto far more than she takes after Kanon in personality. He figures that Chiyo will just let him send her through a gate.
(Which results in a lot of yelling and Chiyo punching and kicking her father before getting out of there.)
no subject
Does Chiyo know that he's interested in her for her connection to Makoto? How close is she with him? I'm sure he loves her a lot, at least.
no subject
She's very close to her uncle, he taught her to fight and generally loves her a lot. Kanon didn't tell Alain about how close the two of them were because she didn't want Alain targeting Chiyo.
no subject
I'm not sure enemy is the best word to use, but Chiyo might not realize that. Definitely not an ally, and she definitely didn't inspire any warm feelings, but I don't think Alain particularly wants anything terrible to happen to her. He quite possibly wouldn't lose sleep if something did happen to her, but it would definitely piss Makoto off.
Do you have a sense of what Alain wants from Makoto? Does Alain know himself? I have a sense personally that it's some kind of weird cross between friendship and a really interesting pet.
no subject
(He headed off to talk to Kanon after that, though he didn't try to send her back. She told him that Chiyo was quite close to Makoto. He didn't quite tell her that next time he'd use force, but I think she could figure that out.)
And here's more, because muse won't shut up.

"I think there's something happening," Candide said, in the language that the three of them shared. Alexis nodded, form bobbing up and down in the air.
Chiyo looked at her siblings. She was the only one of the three that normal people could see by default, unless the other two made themselves visible. She'd sometimes envied that, especially when she didn't want to go to school or be in class. Of course, her father could see all of them regardless.
Candide and Alexis could both assume a humanoid form, but they didn't look human, so they normally just accompanied her to school and learned over her shoulder. Candide was a bit older than her, Ganma gestations being quite a bit shorter than human pregnancies, carried to term within their father's body. Which would have weirded most people out, because their father appeared male, and yet her siblings had been born that way.
"I agree," Alexis chimed in. They were working on schoolwork. Their mother had insisted that Alexis and Candide practice even if they couldn't live in normal human society. That way, the three of them could work together even if most people could only see one.
Their father tried to teach them how it would be like to live in Ganma society on the Ganma world. Chiyo wished sometimes that her siblings could go there to have a normal life for them, instead of having to practically stay with her. She herself had no desire to live there, given Ganma views, though she could probably survive in Ganma society.
"Maybe the seal is becoming undone?" she asked. After all, her family was tense, from their parents and uncle to her honorary aunt and uncles. Something was happening that they didn't want to tell Chiyo, Alexis, and Candide.
"Maybe," Candide allowed.
It was good news and bad. Good for her siblings, bad for the world. If the Ganma could reach Earth again, there was a good chance that they'd try to invade. Her family would fight back, protect the Earth, though it would pain her Uncle Takeru, who only wanted peace between the two.
Her mother had told her that Uncle Takeru had been the happiest when each of the three of them had been born, unions between human and Ganma. It hadn't mattered to him how each of them had been born, either out of their mother or their father.
"Let's find out," Alexis said, and Chiyo nodded. Candide bobbed. They'd always tried to act in consensus. It was, in some ways, an important way in both of their worlds.
Chiyo got up, and not looking back, knew that her siblings would follow.

Alain definitely changed sides and sided with Takeru and Makoto. Which means that he's a traitor to the Ganma. Sometimes the human world confuses him, but he's getting used to it. Chiyo and the others don't realize how Ganma they are in some ways because Alain gets quite homesick.
