Fandom: Kamen Rider Kiva
Words: ~500
Characters: Shinoda Aya (OC), Kuramae Noboru (OC)
Warnings/Rating: 13+/PG-13
Prompt: Table 2, prompt: Holiday
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.
She was left alone, for the most part. At least for the last week, as the doctors seemed to be concentrating on their new arrivals. She knew that the group of the Fangaire and their agents had arrived, because there was the familiar ocean-feeling of her father. That, or they'd moved the ocean or the facility, which she rather doubted. There had been technicians working on the two water rooms, so she guessed she was going to have to deal with her father, Kuramae-san's objections or no.
"Shinoda-san," Kuramae-san called cheerfully from the doorway. "How do you feel like taking a little trip?"
"A little trip?" she asked. "What, to another facility?" Were they planning on moving her, now that it was clear that they weren't breeding her right off?
"Well," Kuramae-san said, "I was actually thinking, since it's a holiday, that you should get to celebrate too. You'll have to wear a locator anklet, of course, but I thought you might enjoy some fresh air."
"Bosses afraid I'll run?" Aya asked.
"Well, yes, towards the nearest ocean," Kuramae-san said. "It's for your own safety. I mean, a lot of our staff lives in nearby villages and towns and could probably recognize you, but nobody wants to lose you. Plus, there's always the possibility – remote though it is – that someone who knows what you look like will want to hold you to sire a child on you. There are humans – people – that are very devoted to the continuation of the non-human intelligent species."
"Your world is *weird*," Aya said. "Do the Fangaire have this problem too?"
Kuramae-san nodded. "To some extent, though there's more social stigma to trying that with a Fangaire. You and the other crossbreeds are the most vulnerable, too – your fathers can at least defend themselves, you can't."
"And if somebody decides that they want to get at me while we're out?" Aya asked.
Shrugging, Kuramae-san said, "I'd defend you. With my life. So, do you want to go out?"
Aya looked at him, and at the hallway. "I'd love to." After all, it could be practice on how to get out of there and how to get home eventually. "Just you and me?"
Kuramae-san nodded. "Dr. Hamagaki believes you can be trusted more than the new arrivals – we're being cautious about losing our fullbloods. You're hardly going to run on me, and if you do, well, there are things that Dr. Hamagaki can do. Among other things, not let you leave the complex again unless you're well-sedated."
"I think I can behave myself," Aya said. At least she would until she had a genuine chance of freedom, which wasn't going to happen there. The Fangaire and their researchers were still too sensitive to losing one of their precious specimens. "Find me that locator anklet so we can go out."
He smiled. "As you wish."
