Apart from the Ocean, part 10
Here's "Apart from the Ocean" part 10
Title: Apart from the Ocean (part 10)
Author:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
estirose
Fandom: Kamen Rider Kiva
Words: ~650
Characters: Shinoda Aya (OC), Kuramae Noboru (OC), Ramon
Warnings/Rating: 13+/PG-13
Prompt: Table 2, prompt: Book
Summary: Aya has to live with the fact that monsters don't think like humans.
Author's Notes: I'm hoping to use as many of the 25 prompts as I can for one story, and am therefore designating parts as I go along. Any left over prompts will be used as snapshots on Aya's life. Since the characters are Japanese, I've used Japanese name order here. The universe itself belongs to Toei and TV-Asahi, as does the original version of Kuramae Noboru.
When she and Kuramae-san returned to her little corridor, she could feel her father nearby. They must have allowed her and Kuramae-san outside in order to put her father in. Made perfect sense. She wondered if her father had explored the place yet.
If he had, he'd probably discovered her room. She shivered. One of the things that the facility's agents had recovered was a picture of herself and her mother, in a picture frame, which she'd set up on her dresser. One look at that, and he'd know who was there, if he couldn't tell anyway.
"He's here," she said to Kuramae-san. "Did you know?"
"At the facility? Yes," Kuramae-san said. "That they were planning to move him? Yes. I tried to keep him out of here, though."
"He's *here*," she said. She concentrated, feeling the ocean within. "In my room."
"Impressive," Kuramae-san breathed. "You can pinpoint him that accurately?"
"Yes," she said absently. "He's close."
"I'll ask my sister about that," he said. "Want support?"
Aya thought about that. Kuramae-san had been helpful - for a guy who worked for the people holding her captive. And she really didn't want to deal with her father, much less alone. "Yes, please."
Besides, she might be incensed enough that he might need to rescue her father, instead.
She slid the door open to her room. Her father was there, wearing a white t-shirt and white drawstring pants, looking at one of her books. She hadn't thought he was into reading. Probably knew how to read, though. But then again, she didn't know much about him, other than what he had told her in their brief talks.
That reminded her of what she and Kuramae-san had talked about, how she seemed more willing to be neutral with her Fangaire captor than she was with her father.
"Aya!" Her father put the book down sloppily, and Aya winced.
"Father," she said, "More respect for the books, please." He was still the thirteen year old she remembered from two years before, still energetic and clueless.
Her father cast a glance at Kuramae-san, an unsure one that made her wonder if bringing him was a good idea. On the other hand, she was sure that he'd keep her from strangling her father. "Who's this?"
"I'm Kuramae Noboru," Kuramae-san said. "I'm a researcher at this facility."
"Oh," her father said in response, not bothering to introduce himself. Come to think of it, he'd never even given her a name. He probably had one, though.
"I don't suppose you've ever been out in human society enough to choose a name?" Kuramae-san asked.
Her father smiled. "Ramon," he said. It wasn't a particularly Japanese name, Aya thought, and wondered where he'd picked it up.
"Kuramae-san and I dated before he... well, I arrived here," Aya said, continuing with Kuramae-san's unintended fiction. If Kuramae-san thought they were dating, she might as well use it for something useful.
Kuramae-san beamed. She wished she had the heart to tell him that they weren't. Besides, he still thought that her becoming more Merman was a good thing. Did he secretly harbor a desire to have quarter-Merman children that she'd just recently squashed?
"Ramon-san," Kuramae-san said, surprisingly using a honorific off of her father's first - well, probably only - name. "Are you comfortable here?"
"Why not?" her father said cheerfully. "I have water, and all the human women that I want."
In other words, Aya thought grimly, she would have half-brothers and half-sisters to look forward to - or not - shortly. But at least once he started his 'mating' in earnest, he should hopefully ignore her. Which was exactly what she wanted.
