Chapter #6The new life of Miku Otto-san by: Nirro   The lobby into the doctor's office is met with a man you've seen only a few times at the school Miku's father, Mr.Izumi. he doesn't seem happy at all, he's calm and very collected, but you can see the rage in his eyes as he glares at your family through clenched teeth, even Dr Kerry and Dr Saunters were speaking Japanese with the family, but it was with the mother who had several cases of clothes, a few other things, then words you could not understand, words that were too fast and too foreign to translate, but the screaming at the sounds of slapping made the language clear, even the group of Miku's sisters and brothers were silently staring at your family. The clashing voice of the mother's rage suddenly goes silent, the door opens and she calmly walks out. There's an exchange, a quick and lengthy one, then just a few whispers between each other. Finally the doctors leave their office and motion for everyone to follow.
"Connors."
Miku's dad says in a stoic tone, he has command over the entire lobby now, he sounds over bearing, but the result of this incident and the atrocities committed on their daughter, makes sense he would be angry, hell anybody would be angry at this weird ass experiment, but it's far too late and, it looks like the hospital has some serious backing. "I will be speaking to my-" he stops for a second, then catches his breath, inhales a breath of air, before exhaling. "Your father." It's almost like you get what he's going through, but at the same time, its not even what you want to know or admit. "I will want it to be private and go first, to put my troubles aside."
"Of course, you have every right to." Your mother replies immediately, not even trying to argue with him, he just nods, then bows. "Thank you for your kindness." Then the family leaves ahead of your's, all in silence, and, none of them looking to happy about it. The oldest son, you know him as Hoko, just looks at you in such a way, it almost sends chills down your spine, like he's just trying to put a knife in your gut. The rest of the time is spent with your mother clutching your arm, waiting for this madness to end, hoping it's not some kind of prank or cruel joke, the hours roll by, but eventually the Izumis return, not a single word is spoken to your family, they don't even treat you like you exist, it's only then you realize how bad the situation is for them, their daughter is now a stranger, completely and utterly a stranger, what should be recognizable to them is a crudely made immitation, like a badly made photo copy, or something far worse. It's only when you get to the front door do you see the small Japanese girl, who sat quietly in class, studied all day every day alone in the corner, who would giggle at Randall's bad pranks and jokes, now sitting exactly your father would, with a glass in his had, the look of a tried and exhausted workman who was too damn tired to give a shit, but now it's different, he looks devastated. Like the way the Izumis were when they left and you can see the reason why, in his hand is tampon, with a bottle of medicine, the box is clearly saying it's for periods, and, his eyes through her thick black rimmed glasses, just send you the only message you know.
"Hey."
He says, stuttering, he's shaking a bit, then just puts his hands down, dejected, but looking more troubled at the fact that this is him now, this is Donald Conner, this is somehow supposed to be your dad, the big hardworking, house fixing man of the house, who you would sometimes hear making animalistic noises well past four in the morning. "Donnie...." Your mother rushes over to him, hugging him with her much taller body, she breaks down and cries, she cries a river, Miku cries a river, then Tabitha cries a river, as to where you just, let the tears fall off your face, but not into arms. You just watch as the head honcho of your house is crying about this all. How wrong it is for this to have happened, how wrong it all is, how this screws up everything, how it's just that bad. It's all you can take, eventually, you're drug into embracing the new donald Conner, even if he has tits. David stands off in the distance, he sits on the bed, just doesn't do anything, he jus glares at your classmate's body, like he wants it gone, all of it, you can't say you don't understand him, especially with this reality.

"So you can see exactly how this is going to change the house dynamic, and-" your father goes one, as he accidentally slaps his own tit, cupping it quickly as he feels the pain from moving his hand into it so quickly. "-Am going to have all of you help around the house more than ever now." He says, he's the same sounding in tone, but with Miku's voice? He sounds like a young girl trying to boss around adults and losing respect as the conversation continues on, still you can see the reason he's asking for this. "Since the hospital is paying us hush money for the rest of our days, I can finally get to doing some of the list of things that we need done around the house." He seems much happier about having a long list of things to fix, especially with the handy work of the house being his favorite activity. "I just the boys and Tabitha to do some of the larger ones, like the shingles." He jokes about it with your mother, but you know he's planning to put the whip into your time, especially with the last time you did the shingles with him. "I guess we're still together huh sweetie?" Your mother is hugging him, but she has the same repulsion of him as the rest of you do, and he knows it, no matter how hard you try to hide it, it's there. Donald Conner is basically dead, deader than dead can be, whoever this new body and mind are, isn't Miku or Donald, it's some kind of backyard science experiment gone wrong, and the result? Is this manly speaking, sweet sounding, cute little Asian girl, with huge knockers, hell they're up to your mom's size, she has even confirmed that the two of them share the same size, which will help them save on buying bras. Still he doesn't look amused by it, yet the one point of the conversation has already been pushed into the forefront.
"Dad?" You ask timidly, you haven't spoken at all since you met him, and this is the first thing you're going to say to him, man to man, or try to, you hope.
"Yeah?" He asks back, giving you the same respect you gave him, like father like son, he can feel this, you're not sure if it's him under there, maybe it never will be again, but you have to ask it.
"Are we still going to live together?" The big question, the biggest one you can ask right now. The look on his face isn't good. That's all you can tell, you look at David, he's looking at you, almost hoping you're trying to do something, but whatever it is, you'll have to ask him later.
"Of course he his Tim!" Your mother, almost stunned you even asked that fires off at you. "Tim this is your father! Even if he's...... Changed! This is the man I married, I would hope you wouldn't judge him like we just let in some kind of...... Hooker! Into our house!" She's a bit heated, but then stops. "Sorry Donnie, I just, I......" She backs off, looking at him, worried.
"No, you're right." He says, as he takes a drink of the cup next to the bed. "There's going to be some serious changes around home." He takes a drink, then goes back to looking at everyone. "I don't know how living with hormones coursing through me right now are going to effect us, the doctor gave me some information about the changes and how I may react to all of this, and he's told me to consider, living separate from you all, to help getting used to the change, or you know." He says, then goes quiet, trying to word out the final part of it.
"If we don't get used to it." David finishes.
"Yeah." Your dad says, looking down as the door is opened by the nurse, who has the release forms for Miku Izumi, who weather you like it or not, is now comming home with you, for now at least.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
