The Bad, The Bidder, and the Daughter (KBTBB)

Ota: Eleven

"Wow, Kanato. Real smooth," his mother raised her eyebrow when she saw the compromising position her beat friend and cousin were in when she opened the door to his room.

"It's not like that! She tackled me!"

Asuka looked down at him, "well, he isn't lying."

She laughed, "so what happened?"

"We we're playing video games and-"

"Kanato started it."

Kanato glared up at Asuka, "really?"

"Well, maybe if you weren't such a cheater this wouldn't have happened."

"Why you-" he flipped so that he had his hands near Asuka's head as they both lied down on the floor. He smirked, "give up?"

Asuka grinned and wrestled him as his mother sighed in awe.

"Well, you two have fun. Asuka, don't get Kanato pregnant," she said as she exited the room.

Kanato blushed furiously as Asuka giggled, "S-shut up. Don't you have better things to do?"

She shook her head, "Not really. I just finished my big play, so my typical theatre activities are a no. Ume is out watching a movie with that idol who transferred. You know, Nagisa Ichinose. You're kinda my only option, since you're my only other friend."

Kanato puffed his cheeks, "So I'm a last resort."

"No... well... no... okay kinda," she patted him on head, "but that doesn't mean you're any less of a friend than Ume."

Kanato sighed. There was that word again. Friend. It's not that he minded being friends with Asuka, in fact it was quite the opposite. However... every cell in his body yearned for something more.

Every bit of self control left him as he gazed at her still smiling figure lying down on his bed. Her eyes began to widen as he caressed her cheek. He felt her body froze as he leaned down to kiss her.

"Wait!" She yelled, "I'm sorry, but... I can't do this to Haruki..." She found a way out from underneath Kanato and ran out the door, presumably out the house as well.

Who was Haruki?

He knew she didn't have a boyfriend, maybe it was someone she liked? But there's no Haruki in either one of their years...

He picked up his phone and before he knew it he was calling his cousin.

Ume picked up after the first two rings, "Hello?"

"Who the hell is Haruki?"

...

ASUKA POV

"So let me get this straight; you're Ota's illegitimate daughter and neither of you knew of each other's existence and by some twist of fate you just happened to get sold to him in a black market auction- the same one he bought and fell in love with your mother with. Oh, and your name is actually Asuka Kobayashi."

I nodded, "Yeah, that seems about right."

Yushina took a drag from her electronic cigarette, "Well fuck me roughly with a rusty screwdriver, I did not see that coming. Got any ideas of what you're gonna do?"

I shook my head, "No, I'm completely clueless."

She blew the vapor in my face, "How the hell did you even get down here? I image everyone is bubbling with questions."
