Apart from the Ocean part 15
I'm proud to say that I finished off "Apart from the Ocean", and it's 20 parts long. To make things go a bit faster, I'll be posting the remaining parts 2/day on my own journal, and then when that's done, I'll post once a day to the prompt comm (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
occhallenge). And then I have five shortfics to write to finish the challenge. (And between the end of "Apart from the Ocean" and the shortfics, there will be the inevitable poll.) So, please bear with me if you are not following this fic.
Title: Apart from the Ocean (part 15)

estirose
Fandom: Kamen Rider Kiva
Words: ~600
Characters: Shinoda Aya (OC), Kuramae Noboru (OC), Ramon
Warnings/Rating: 13+/PG-13
Prompt: Table 2, prompt: Light
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. The universe that Aya slips into is from my "Boxed In" AU.
Jiro - she couldn't attach a honorific to him at the moment - snarled at Kuramae-san, who apparently decided that provoking a Wolfen for whatever reason was not a bright idea, and retreated through the door, slamming it closed.
"What happened there?" Aya wondered out loud.
Riki ambled over to the door and tried to open it, but it responded neither to his strength or a simple keying of the door lock, which meant that Kuramae-san must have entered some sort of command to keep them in there.
Megumi moved up to her, stepping out of the light from the window that had been behind her. "I met him... or someone who looked just like him. A Fangaire who kidnapped me."
No wonder why Megumi had acted that way, why her father had reacted that way too. Wolfen protected their kids, fullblooded or not. Megumi had probably told her father about Kuramae-san's doppelganger. And if said double was a Fangaire, so Kuramae-san could be one too.
Her mind flashed back to when she'd first arrived and woken up, and Kuramae-san had come in. She'd hit him as hard as she could, and it barely affected him.
Next time she saw him, she'd have to ask. But she suspected she knew the answer.
"I'm sorry," she said, as if to excuse her Kuramae-san. Based on what she knew of the Fangaire in this world, he was probably harmless, unlike his counterpart in theirs.
Riki moved back from the door, standing near herself and Megumi, obscuring her view of the door - and probably, the view of anyone from that door way to her. "Fan - gai - re," he rumbled.
"We'll have to be careful," her father said, coming up next to her and putting a hand on her arm. "She's been seeing him since I got here."
"We were dating before he... brought me here," Aya explained. They hadn't been, but she was sure the room was being monitored and she thought she should keep up that fiction.
"But we might be able to use him," her father said. "If he's in love with her."
"I've told you, I can't do that to Kuramae-san," she said. "Even if he is a Fangaire. Even if he is this world's version of the person who kidnapped Megumi. The Fangaire seem a lot less threatening here. And I'm speaking as the person he kidnapped to bring me here, too."
"Ba-ad," Riki intoned. Aya had to wonder if Kuramae-san had interacted with Riki, and if he dared to do so after this incident. Probably not. Even a Fangaire would have problems with a furious Franken.
"He's still one of the people holding us captive," her father pointed out.
"He's obviously got a hold on her," Jiro said, not relaxing his guard one bit. "I can smell him all over her."
"Aya," her father said, "Have you been... *mating* with him?"
His look of horror made her want to laugh and lie, but she restrained herself. "No," she said. "Not before, and certainly not when I got here. Why would I do that? I haven't wanted kids since I found out what I was."
Aya's father nodded. "Well, you *are* a Okoi-hatsuoki," he said. "And you hadn't gone into heat when I saw you before."
"We've been spending time together because he's the one that listens to me," Aya said. "He likes me, and I like him, and I don't believe he's the same person as the one that kidnapped Megumi."
Jiro-san rolled his eyes.
