Sakamoto's Life Story: Homecoming Proposal
by: Terrell James
Chapter 1: Sakamoto's Homecoming
Minutes after Sakamoto departed from the army and after the second great war, he felt like he had accomplished a lot and is very appreciative of everything he's done and for doing what he's doing for his country and his family and he's really excited to get back home to the place where he's always been loved. The excitement inside of him is just bursting through so much that it couldn't be contained any further.
Sakamoto sighed anxiously and whispered to himself, "Can't wait to get back home."
25 minutes later
The traveling dragon lands down from the clouds and Sakamoto sees every inch of Shanghai Secluded Valley and as it got really closer, he can tell that he's almost made it to the place he calls home and is super excited to see his loved ones again after a long seven and a half months. When it landed near the middle of the street, he hopped out and walked around the valley, taking a huge glance at everything around him.
Sakamoto chuckled softly and said, "Good to be back home!"
Almost everything in the Valley is empty and he already knew where the others could be...in the temple. So he takes a stroll around parts of the Valley until he gets to the temple and walks up the steps until he makes it inside and soon enough, he sees a huge banner saying 'Welcome back home, Sakamoto'...and that confirms that they're here. When he walks to another part of the temple...he opens the door and soon enough...streams of confetti were all around him.
"WELCOME HOME, SAKAMOTO!"
The reaction Sakamoto got was huge...seeing everyone from the Valley waiting for his homecoming made it all the more meaningful for him and he saw his friends, all of the townsfolk and his family too and it made him feel like he's back where he belongs. Eveyone was cheering for him and congratulating him for all the efforts he made at the second great war and everyone around him gave him hugs, high-fives and loads of praise. Though, Sakamoto still remains the same guy he was before he left.
"Aw, you guys...you didn't really have to do this." Sakamoto said, smiling.
"Oh, but we wanted to, Saka. You fighting for our countries is a victory in itself and we all knew you would succeed." one townsfolk added.
Almost immediately, Sakamoto saw his dad come by and he was happy to see him as he walked over and gave him a huge hug, overwhelmed with pure joy and happiness to see him again. Sakamoto told him, "I missed you, dad."
"We all missed you too, son." Oak Sung said.
Then, he comes towards his mother and sister, hugging both of them as well and he sees Mako, hugging him as well and for the first time...Sakamoto meets Mako's first child and he immediately fell in love with his nephew. He said, "Hey, little guy. I'm your Uncle Sakamoto."
Mako chuckled softly and he said to Sakamoto, "This is Cody. He's been dying to see you, bro."
"And I've been waiting this long to finally meet him. How's being a dad?" asked Sakamoto.
Mako sighed heavily and he replied, "Insane...but I'm making the most of it. Me and my mate are really close since he came to our lives."
Soon enough, Sakamoto finally gets to meet Mako's mate and she was a lot more friendly and sweet and he hugged her and said, "It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Sakamoto. Your brother has told me a whole lot of things about you. Congrats on kick Mongol butt, dude." Mako's mate said, happily.
Just then, all of Sakamoto's friends; Shin Hai, Toshi and everyone else went in and gave Sakamoto a bear hug and a dogpile to celebrate their friend coming back home and Shin Hai was the most happiest of all to see him again and he said, "We are so glad you made it back, dude!"
"Don't ever leave us again." Toshi stated, in a joking manner.
Sakamoto started laughing as he got up and said, "I won't be going anywhere anytime soon."
Azuko comes in the picture, greeting Sakamoto and just hugged him tightly and he said, "Welcome home, my friend."
"It's good to see you too." Sakamoto replied.
"And look who I brought to see you." Azuko added, bringing in Okinawa and that made Sakamoto real emotional the minute he saw him again.
"Hey, little guy. How's Azuko treating you?" Sakamoto asked, happily.
Okinawa looks at his birth father in the eye and smiled at him and Sakamoto nuzzled his nose and hugged him and whispered, "I'm so glad to see you again."
He then gives him back to Azuko and he said, "Thank you very much, Azuko...for taking care of my boy."
Azuko smiled and said, "It's the least I could do."
Sakamoto was happy to come back home to the people he's grown up with and a bunch of smiling faces are around him, but there was one smiling face he was missing...his beloved mate, Bao-Yi.
The Sakamoto/Bao-Yi reunion is coming! I promise you, it'll be a big reunion!
