Chapter four

Chuuya had taken the week off work so he could spend time with the child and help her adapt to her new life and home. The ginger haired male was helping Miyo clean her face, smiling softly "You look so pretty today, do you wanna go out?" Chuuya wanted to take her to go get ice cream.

The girl nodded, eyes still hidden behind the black blindfold which stopped her from harming people just by looking at them. "Go out..?"

He nodded, kissing her forehead "yes darling, I want to show you around Yokohama." he said gently, smiling at her with gentle eyes. The child nodded and smiled, holding onto her adoptive fathers hand. "We can even visit the ADA if you'd like.."

"Yea!" she cheered and smiled, hugging her father tightly.

The surprising thing was the fact Chuuya had been given a mini version of his suit and hat for the girl to wear for whenever they went out together or she came to work with him, It was a gift from Akutagawa Something about needing 'princess Nakahara' to look the part, Chuuya had no idea. 

The red-haired man shook his head with a sigh and closed his eyes. He felt like he might have to dress her in a ball gown next time he takes her to work with him if everyones going to be calling her 'princess Nakahara'. The short man dressed the girl in a dress of pastel purples and pinks with some yellow flowers on it, something more appropriate for her age. 

Chuuya didn't want to see his child dressing up as a depressed office worker who worked for the mafia at the age of five. "Is this dress okay?" He asked softly, he knew dresses might not be a good idea due to what he had found her in.

The small girl, however, didn't seem to mind. She nodded, holding onto the man as tightly as she could. Chuuya knew that she wasn't comfortable in dresses since it left her exposed and let all the areas that once were covered in black scars show. "You can change clothes, you know that, right darling?" He was doing his best to keep his voice calm, gentle and low so it didn't scare her.

From Chuuya's experience calling her 'darling' kept the girl calm but anything other than that and her name would bring forth a panic attack. "W-wna" the girl mumbled out, still struggling to speak clearly, maybe he would have to ask that blonde man from the ADA to give Miyo a few speaking lessons.

Chuuya listened closely, heart tugging at her words. "Wna sae mama."

The ginger grabbed the gift that had been hand made by the same person who had made Chuuyas outfit, (the ginger has no idea who made it) and helped the child into it, however he put his own hat on her head instead of the custom made one. "This better?"

The small girl nodded, a bright smile on her face as the hat slipped down, hiding that smile. Chuuya silently wondered how she could smile like that even after being inside a lab like she was.

*****

Miyo's first time out in the busy city (Actually paying attention to the things around her) in the daytime was interesting… The child reacted to every little sound and hid most of the time, meaning she hid whenever she wasn't talking to Chuuya.

Chuuya took her to the ice cream shop, where he saw two faces which belonged to ADA members. Instantly he walked over and smiled. "Atsushi, Kyouka, good morning." 

The two turned around, jumping in surprise, well Atsushi jumped because of Chuuya appearing out of nowhere while the girl jumped because Chuuya was carrying a child. "Good morning Chuuya-san!" Atsushi greeted cheerfully. "This must be Miyo, Dazai-san and Akutagawa-kun told me about how cute she is."

Chuuya raised a brow "were you not at the ADA when I brought her in?"

"Nope Kyouka was tired so I had to take her home." He smiled "I didn't get to see her, I only knew you had her with you."

Chuuya nodded and hummed, gently moving the hat out of her face. "Say hi, darling.." The small child waved at the man-tiger and the girl. Chuuya moved the hat back down to where it was before looking back at the two teens. "What are you two doing here?"

"Ranpo-kun wanted ice cream so we came down here to get him some." Atsushi said with an even brighter smile, it almost blinded Chuuya. 

"Why are you here Chuuya-niisan?" the bluenette asked, head tilting to the side like a confused kitten.

"Miyo us trying ice cream for the first time, I haven't decided what flavour to get her yet though." the girner said, smiling softly at the thought of the small child's reaction for the cold, solid-ish sugar-milk. "I'm leaning towards Vanilla ice cream though."

Atsushi shook his head "you should get the three basic flavours." he said, pointing to the strawberry, chocolate and vanilla ice creams. "They're the ice cream starter pack." The bluenette nodded heavily.

"But.." Chuuya sighed and nodded "fine, I'll do that, what do you two want?" For helping Chuuya with this he planned to get the two ADA members a treat.

"We couldn't ask that of you Chuuya-san!?" Atsushi squeaked, holding his hands up, trying to refuse the overly tempting offer.

"Rocky-road." Kyouka however readily accepted this, even listing off the toppings she wanted, Chuuya didn't mind.

"Repeat that to the man once we order." he said with a smile, reaching over and petting her head. "Now, tiger boy, what do you want?"

He gulped "I-I.." Atsushi felt bad asking this man for food, especially with the current peace treaty which could collapse at any moment. He was probably going to need to pay the red-haired man back. "Lemon myrtle..?" the words left his mouth before he could think about it further.

"Okay." Chuuya shrugged, looking behind the two "we'll also put those dudes on my tab too." Chuuya was in a good mood so he didn't see why not. It's just money he was getting more tomorrow that will cover this and like 20 other trips here with the same order.

"Thank you Chuuya-niisan.." Kyouka said with a smile, a light shining in her eyes. Chuuya just nodded, walking up to the counter with the two teens and the five year old child. 

"Good morning sir, how may I help you today?" The man working greeted, a fake smile on his face which dropped when he noticed the three other people with him. 

"You two order first." Chuuya shrugged, letting Kyouka speak to the man who seemed unhappy with what was being asked of him, putting down her asking for toppings.

"There's already enough sugar in that ice cream, I would recommend going across the street and getting a salad instead." The man suggested, a smile on his face. "No one will love you if you're fat plus, ice cream is for bab–"

Chuuya had had enough, handing Myio to Atsushi and slamming his fist on the counter. "If you say another word to her about what she can and can not eat I will personally rip out your throat." The mafioso growled out, clearly angry. He couldn't believe his ears and once he was out of his shock, rage filled his body and mind instead.

Kyouka was like his younger sister so hearing someone say that to her pissed him off. The fourteen year old girl looked up in slight shock, she hadn't expected Chuuya to get angry over some simple insults about her body and weight. But it did make her happy to know someone other than Atsushi would defend her in this situation.

"You are not allowed to make comments like that, she is a child. She can have what she wants." Chuuyas voice had gone calm now, it was like a cold rage had washed over him. "If you ever say anything like that to my sister again, I will kill you." 

The man nodded, taking in a deep breath, the forced smile back on his face as he got ready to type into the computer. "What was it you wanted, miss?" Kyouka smiled, holding onto Chuuyas light grey shirt and ordering again, adding extra toppings just to be annoying. Then it was Atsushi's turn. "For you, sir?" The man asked, ready to add the next ice cream to the drive.

"Lemon myrtle.." The man-tiger whispered out, getting no response from the man, who looked like he was about to go off at the nineteen year old besides Chuuya. One look from the port mafia executive shut the chasheir down before he could even speak. "In a cup..?"

"We can do that for you bud." he said, a fake smile on his face, he was too scared to anger the ginger now after what had happened a moment ago. "Anything else?"

"A small bowl of Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla." he said, shrugging and pointing at the small child in Atsushi's arms. "Then we'll also take the sweetest one you have to offer." and like that the four of them walked to the agency with six cups of ice cream.

"Nakahara-san? What are you doing here?" Kunikida asked watching the man walk in with a tray to carry the ice cream on, Atsushi had let the fourteen year old hold Miyo once they had come inside the agency, after much debate.

"I found these two while out, and thought I should bring them back." Chuuya shrugged, walking over to Ranpo and placing the ice cream on his desk "I also paid for a few things as well. I only expect this one to pay me back." He pointed at the man with leather black hair. Chuuya sat on the couch in the middle of the office, setting the tray down as well.

Atsushi grabbed his cup off the tray and sat next to Chuuya, Kyouka following in suit with a small child on her lap. Chuuya pulled Miyo onto his lap, grabbing the blue haired girl's ice cream for her and handing it to her before grabbing the small cup of vanilla to let Miyo taste it.

Chuuya was surprised that Dazai hadn't come to attack him yet, however just as Chuuya thought he was safe the man with espresso hair came crashing through the door. "I'm Back!!" he yelled, making Miyo flinch and hide in her adoptive fathers clothed chest. "Eww why is a slug here?

Chuuya glanced over his shoulder "I ran into the tiger cub and his sister." He said with a bitter smile, turning his head back to where it was before so he could feed Miyo. "They helped me pick what Miyo's first type of ice cream should be."

Dazai gasped and rushed over to the back of the couch, leaning over it and looking down at the two Nakaharas. "Give me a minute to get my camera!" He squealed, only to have Chuuya sigh.

"You don't have a camera, Dazai." Kunikida said, shaking his head, opening a draw and pulling a video camera out of it. "I, however, invested in one after she came in the other night so I could give Nakahara-san it for later when these moments will bring joy down the line."

Chuuya nodded in appreciation, humming as he watched the dirty-blonde man walk over and crouch on the other side of the table, the camera recording. "Miyo, open.." he cooed softly, trying to make sure the girl didn't freak out as he pulled the small spoon with a tiny amount of ice cream on it up to her mouth.

The small child's face scrunched up a bit as she examined the cold, however she slowly inched closer, mouth opening as she moved closer to the spoon. She wrapped her mouth around the cold metal, taking the melting ice cream into her mouth and her eyes sparkled.

Chuuya smiled softly. Dazai was jumping with joy, apparently seeing this moment in the girl's life made him happy. Kyouka had scooped some of her ice cream up and was holding it up to the girls mouth, Miyo happily tried it. However there was way too much chocolate for the child's taste.

Chuuya grabbed the strawberry ice cream and offered her it to try. The child didn't seem to mind this one, however she kept glancing at the vanilla, maybe she preferred the simplest one. Atsushi let her try his as well, which had the child trying to steal the cup out of his hands.

And finally the chocolate one. Miyo spat it out. Not a fan of chocolate.
