Tojoctober Day 12 - Gamble

(I see your star, you left it burning for me)

Alt title is from “Setting Sail, Coming Home”, the end credits theme to Bastion

Akiyama arrives at Morning Glory to take Haruka to the arcade. Little did he know Kiryu's other kid would show up.

(no spoilers!)

—------------------

“Akiyama-san?"

“Dojima-san!?"

The two men standing at the entrance to the Morning Glory Orphanage stare at each other in disbelief. Akiyama's almost too stunned to speak. After all, it's not everyday that you're face-to-face with the leader of one of the most powerful yakuza organizations in Japan. 

“What..." Akiyama clears his throat, regaining his composure, "What are you doing in Okinawa?"

“Kiryu-san asked me to come here. What about you, Akiyama-san?" Daigo responds in kind.

“Kiryu-san asked me here too..." Akiyama stares at the younger man in confusion. “Did he double book a babysitter?"

"I'm not sure. It's not like the fourth chairman to do something like this." Daigo ponders, his face wrought with confusion.

Akiyama almost opens his mouth to offer to take Haruka, since there are probably better things for the Sixth Chairman of the Tojo Clan to do, but it's at this moment that Haruka walks up to the two of them, and glances at them both.

“Akiyama-san? Daigo? Are you two here for me?"

Akiyama glances at Haruka, and then the chairman. There's no way Haruka would need two babysitters. Besides, the last time he saw Daigo Dojima, he had overheard what he was saying to Kiryu….

Wait.

This was a bit of a gamble, sure, but what did Akiyama have against the guy? Whatever issue that went between them, Kiryu seemed to have diffused. He remembered how the two acted towards each other. And if Akiyama's hunch was right...

“That we are, Haruka-chan!" Akiyama says with vigor, swinging an arm around the young girl's shoulders. “Uncle Akiyama is here to take care of both of you!"

This statement brings a joyful giggle from the girl, but a confused noise from the man.

“Us...?"

“Of course, Daigo-san!" Akiyama responds, partially wondering why the hell he just first-named one of the most powerful people he knows. "Now then, let's not waste any time. The arcade?"

Daigo opens his mouth to say something, but shuts it. Haruka starts running down the path towards the town. "Hooray! Come on guys, to the arcade!"

“Yeah! Let's go, Haruka-chan!"

“Wait, hold up, Akiyama-san!"

Daigo's words fall on deaf ears, and he can do nothing but follow the other two people.

The arcade in Okinawa was pretty small, but the proprietors of the establishment went for quality over quantity. The place had Virtua Fighter, Taiko no Tatsujin (which Haruka really enjoyed, and Akiyama had a sense Daigo liked it too), and even a new Puyo Puyo machine. 

But of course, what the three people were currently surrounding was one of two UFO catchers. This one in particular housed some Bun-chan plushies, and Haruka was determined to get them. 

She had already won one. A yellow Bun-chan was clutched under her arm, as she used the other to aim the claw at a pink Bun-chan that sat right on top of the rest. 

The claw lowers, and grabs the Bun-chan, but the grip is too loose, and the plush falls almost immediately.

"Come on!" Haruka says, exasperated.

This is Haruka's fifth try at this particular plush, and Akiyama could tell it was stressing the young girl out. 

"Let me give it a shot, Haruka-chan."

Haruka steps aside, letting him take a shot at the controls. Akiyama moves the claw deftly and precisely. He sees the claw tense as it completes its drop; while it misses what Haruka was aiming for, it does end up grabbing something.

“Oh?”

Out pops not a pink, but a green Bun-chan, firmly within the claw. The claw moves over and drops the prize into the chute.

“That was… not intended” Akiyama mutters to himself, but looks at Haruka, who has stars in her eyes.

“WOAH! That was awesome, Akiyama-san!” 

Despite how much she’s grown since he last saw her, Haruka still held some childlike innocence within her.

“Hehe… all in a day’s work, Haruka-chan. You still want that pink one?”

Haruka nods. Akiyama looks back at the machine. With the green Bun-chan gone, the pink one has now fallen halfway into the hole that was made. It would be a hard grab, that’s for sure. Akiyama ponders the situation for a second, before a voice catches his attention.

“Can I try getting it?”

Akiyama and Haruka look at Daigo, who was leaning back on one of the arcade cabinets, watching silently the whole time.

“Ok, Daigo.” Haruka says with a bit of hope in her voice.

Haruka hands the two Bun-chans to Akiyama, who steps away from the controls. Daigo walks up and places a coin into the machine, which comes to life. Akiyama had never seen the chairman so focused, as Daigo moved the claw with precision and skill he somehow possessed. He even walks overs and looks through the other side of the machine, and lines up the claw in both directions. Daigo inhales, and presses the release button. The claw drops, and it's right on the mark. The pink Bun-chan is snug and secure in the claw, all the way until it’s dropped into the prize chute. As the celebration jingle plays, Akiyama lets out an excited holler.

“Nice one, Daigo-san!”

“You’re the best, Daigo!” Haruka wraps her arms around Daigo’s waist. He hesitates at first, standing stationary but Akiyama sees a small smile that reaches the chairman’s eyes. 

“It.. was nothing, Haruka. I hope you like it.”

Akiyama, with his niece and all-but-confirmed nephew, the former holding a couple bags of prizes, arrive at the entrance of Morning Glory. When they arrive, Haruka sets the bags on the stoop, digs something out of each bag, and turns to both of the men. She holds out both of her hands. In her left hand, stretched to Akiyama, housed the yellow Bun-chan. The other hand, out towards Daigo, had the green Bun-chan.

“Surprise! I wanted you to have these!" Haruka said with pride, beaming at them.

Akiyama is beside himself, “Haruka-chan! You shouldn't have." He takes the plushie from her hand, cradling it with both of his hands. Bun-chan stared back at him. “Thank you. I’ll treasure this.”

Akiyama looks over at the other man, who takes the green Bun-chan without a word. He nods at Haruka.

“Well, I have to get started on cooking for the others, but thank you guys so much for today! I hope we can do it again soon!”

“Of course, Haruka. It’s always a pleasure.” Daigo responds with a small smile.

“We’ll see you later, Haruka-chan!” Akiyama says with a wave.

After leaving her behind, the two men walk to the station in Okinawa in silence. As they wait for their train, Akiyama turns to the chairman. 

“Hey, I’m sorry if I just roped you into that. I kinda talked before I really thought of what I was saying, and I didn’t want to take you away from any duties you had, and I know you’re busy since you’re the chairman, and-”

“Akiyama-san.”

Daigo stares intensely at him, and Akiyama stops talking. The chairman, holding the green Bun-chan in his arms like a little kid, hesitates for a moment, then speaks his mind, “Today was… very fun. I really enjoyed spending time with the both of you. We’ll have to do it again sometime, without Kiryu-san having to intervene.”

“Of course… Dojima-san.” Akiyama says with a bit of hesitation.

Daigo smirks, “When we’re with Haruka… Daigo is fine. And uh… I’m sorry if I’ve caused you any trouble, either today or in the past, Akiyama-san.”

Akiyama lets out a laugh, “That’s Uncle Akiyama to you, Daigo!” Daigo lets out a small laugh himself, as the two of them board the train to Kamurocho.

Somehow, in some way, Uncle Akiyama’s gamble paid off.

I got carried away with this one haha... This is a scene I had in my head for a while. I originally planned it out for a fanfiction, but I ended up not including it because it didn’t fit. Glad I got to finally use it! Kiryu looks after Haruka, but Haruka also looks after Kiryu.
