Gaijins and Tokio.
Disclaimer: Neither Saito (RurouKen ver. And live ver.) Tokio, Saito and Tokio Jr.s and George Clooney are my belongings. Sigh.
There is a reason as to why Goro Fujita, or better known as Saito Hajime, the former 3rd captain of the Shinsengumi, does not take kindly to visiting gaijin who come to explore Japan. He generally distances himself when such occasions happen and puts on a glare sharper than his own sword when he is even considered to show the important (usually) gentleman around town due to his rank.
Saito Hajime is not a biased person and doesn't hate people without reason. He absolutely hates idiots, which is quite a bane because that is what he considers most of Japan is consisted of.
He's not particularly fond of gaijins either but he usually keeps his feelings in because they were also the people who brought him his divine cigarettes.
The reason he dislikes playing the tour guide to gaijin is not because of fear or hate, but because at the end of the day he is supposed to courteously offer the gaijin dinner with him and his family at home with the reason being to show them how life in the 'typical' Japanese household was like.
He doesn't mind the bringing them home part because it was also his obligation to impress visiting foreigners to boost Japan's economy. But the meeting his family bit was a problem.\
Because his family also consists his wife. The same woman who believes that a one-night fling with some handsome buck that she happens to adore did not count as cheating because, and I quote, " That improves my self-esteem and when the mother a.k.a. the 'backbone' of the family is happy, so is the entire family!".
This leaves him in an awkward position seeing as how he's away for missions every now and then and he doesn't make much money to brag about. Things get even more uncomfortable when he's away for a particularly long time and comes home to see her not-so-secretly fantasizing about some hot gaijin called George Clooney and being constantly compared to him. Ending with Saito coming out the loser by a mile.
Don't be mistaken, Saito truly and fiercely loved his utmost contemporary wife, but he fears her attitude can potentially kick him out of the family. The odds of him being able to change the mind of a woman who has selective hearing are about the same as the odds of him quitting smoking and taking a 'break' from Aku Soku Zan.
So to maintain his post as the father and (hopefully) only husband of the family, he'll have to take another approach which is elimination of competition.
So he didn't mind bringing home a gaijin who is some old family guy who adores parrots and likes to talk about sunflowers or something, rather than some young handsome man who's loaded, single, smart and likes beautiful exotic women.
Saito Hajime does not want that happening so he avoids bringing home hot gaijins, because kami only knows that if he did bring one home, he's probably going to end up with a male buffer between Tokio and him in their futon and being referred to as 'papa no.2' by his children.
Owari.
AN: Thanks a billion for reading this and if you have anything to comment about, big or small, please review! I'm new at this and I really need all the reviews I can get!! All reviews will be read and replied, so tell me if you liked this story okay? --
P.S: George Clooney happens to be the only real man in my (imaginary) reverse harem (Saito's totally in it!), so treat him the way Saito fangirls would treat one of his real life cigarette butts, with tender love and care.
Gaijin- foreigner.
