Real Thing

3| Our Daughter

"Captain!" Tenma called

"Tenma, can you help us here?" Shindou smiled apologetically

"Gladly," he said then turned to the child

"Kid, listen okay? Who are you?"

"Ehh?! Uncle Tenma forgets about me too!!!"

They all looked shocked.

"No, no I didn't forgot about you..." Tenma trailed off, looking at Shindou

"Ran,"

"Oh! I'm not gonna forget Ran-chan of course, now, you are...?"

"Shindou Ran,"

"Shindou Ran?!" Kirino exclaimed

"Your mommy is...?" Tenma continued

"Shindou Ranmaru,"

"Shindou Ranmaru?!" The bestfriends shouted at the same time

"And lastly... your daddy is...?"

"Shindou Takuto," Ran innocently replied

Tenma stood up, forcing not to grin on them then went to his senpais who are literally blushing and shocked at what happened.

"So... Kirino-senpai you're a..."

Kirino just nodded her head.

"She IS your child," Tenma said flatly

"Impossible!" Kirino said

"N- no way!" Shindou replied

"Have you introduced yourselves to her?"

They both got Tenma's point.

"Now, Ran-chan how did you got here?" Kirino said, avoiding the thought of Ran as their child.

Our daughter...

"I was playing with the super, then after I blinked my eyes I was still inside the super, then I got out, then...I'm here," she said

"Super?" Shindou asked

"Huh? I knew it was Papa's super!" Ran stated

"Ran-chan, look, Uncle Tenma just lost my 'super'..." Tenma said getting along with the child's statements

"What is a super again?" He finally asked

"It's like a big box that..."

"That...?" They all asked

"I don't know,"

"Eh?!!!"

"Matsuzake!"

Tenma stiffened, "Tsu-tsurugi!" He said

"Who the hell is that kid?" Tsurugi asked, glaring at Ran

"Mama!! Papa!! So scary!!" She said then ran towards her parents, hiding behind their legs.

"Woah, you guys adopted a child and..." Tsurugi smirked

"Called you 'mama' Kirino-senpai,"

Kirino's breath hitched, what is he planning to do?

"So...?" She raised a bow

"Tsurugi let's keep this as a secret, Kirino senpai is a girl," Tenma said flatly

"MATSUZAKE TENMA!" Kirino blurted out

"Oh....." Tsurugi's smirk widened

"And...don't try to hit on her,"

Shindou's voice was commanding and... threatening.

Kirino's eyes widened when his shadow blocked Kirino's view view.

Is he...being overprotective...?

"And why?" Tsurugi advanced at Shindou which makes him shield Kirino more.

"Because the kid will think of you as his new father, it'll break her, I tell you,"

Just for...Ran...?

"Hmm..." Tsurugi just replied putting his hands on his pockets. He backed away but still remained his gaze on Kirino.

"Let's go Ran," Shindou said getting Ran's hand

"Yes, daddy! Mommy! Hold me in my right!" Ran requested

Kirino hesitantly held her right hand and smiled at her.

"You call us different names?" She asked realizing that from Mama and Papa she called them Mommy and Daddy.

"Yes!"

"And Tsurugi," Shindou stopped

"I'm just not doing this for Ran,"

Kirino didn't want to hear another reason.

It's not me...

"I'm not letting you get Ranmaru away from me,"

Arturia: O.M.G!!! I really planned something heart breaking but... can't help it *smiles sheepishly*

RanTaku: What now...???!!!! Are we gonna adopt Ran?!

Arturia: Uh...

Kirino: We can't handle a child we are both students for crying out loud!

Arturia: Would you rather leave your own daughter outside there? Or even just a little child...? Would you rather abandon them...? *innocent eyes*

Kirino: O.O

Shindou: Reviews please... [bash this story so she'll not pester our lives please]

Arturia: Chapter 4 up next!

RanTaku: NO!
