Chapter 1
"Sentarou! Sentarou!" Izayoi called out to her son throughout the house. She heard soft footsteps coming from behind and turned to see Sentarou rushing over to her. Izayoi smiled as she noticed once more how he resembled Bankotsu. His same deep blue eyes, raven hair, and exact facial features. In other words, he was a miniature replica of Bankotsu. "Sorry, mom! I was outside!" he panted as he reached her. "Did you need something?" Although he looked liked his father, he was actually more like Izayoi in personality. Sentarou was the more respectable and affectionate of the twins. Yes, twins. After the marriage, Izayoi had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Izayoi ruffled his hair a bit and asked, "Do you know where Itsumi and you father are?"
"They went somewhere with uncle Jakotsu."
Izayoi sighed and placed her hands on her hips. "They never tell me when or where they're leaving." She shook her head and added," Well Itsumi's the one missing out on her writing lessons! Come, Sentarou. Let's go practice writing!"
"Okay," Sentarou replied, following Izayoi back down the hallway.
xXx
"Owww! Get off me, Itsumi!" Bankotsu yelled out playfully as Itsumi pounced on him. "Come on, Daddy! You promised you'd play with me today!" Itsumi said, resting her chin on the top of his head.
"Hey! I didn't promise you anything!" Bankotsu replied, grabbing her and pinning her down on the ground. "Besides, isn't it time for your writing lessons?"
Itsumi stopped struggling against his grip, replying," But Daddy, I don't wanna learn how to write! I wanna play!" Bankotsu released his grip on her and she sat up.
"You do realize your mother's gonna be pretty pissed off if you miss your lessons." He stood up, picking up Banryu and giving Itsumi a look that told her to get up as well. She sighed and took his hand as they began to walk home.
Bankotsu glanced down at his daughter. Like Sentarou, she resembled him. The twins were around 6 years old. They were similar in appearance, but VERY different in personalities. Sentarou was closer to Izayoi and acted like her: calm, playful at times, and quite intelligent. On the other hand, Itsumi was more attached to Bankotsu. She was over-confident, very playful, tough, and preferred playing than learning how to read or write. Sometimes, her and Sentarou got along quite well. But the majority of the time it was chaos! When they disagreed on even the most pointless thing ever, they fought each other quite fiercely(inherited from Bankotsu).
Now that he actually thought about it, Bankotsu never imagined himself being a father. However, he had gotten used to the twins over the years. Whenever he saw Izayoi now, he felt glad that she was the mother of his children. Although sometimes her discipline was a bit strict, Itsumi and Sentarou both loved her very much.
"Daddy, I'm hungry!" Itsumi whined.
"Well let's hurry up to see what old miss Midori cooked us for lunch!" Bankotsu said, picking up the pace with Itsumi grasping his hand.
xXx
"Alright, Sentarou. That was enough practice! You're free for the rest of the day!" Izayoi said walking outside, her son by her side. "Come on, Mom! You wanna see that frog I've been trying to catch all day?!" Sentarou asked, tugging at her kimono sleeve. "Oh, alright then!" Izayoi laughed.
"Hey Dad's back!"
Izayoi looked up and saw that Sentarou was right. Bankotsu and Itsumi were barely arriving. "Well, well. Look who decided to show up," she said quietly to Sentarou. As father and daughter got closer, Izayoi and Sentarou both crossed their arms.
"Uh oh," Bankotsu said to Itsumi. "Told you she'd be mad!" Bracing themselves, they walked up to Izayoi. Bankotsu put on a fake smile saying, " We're back!"
"You do know that I don't allow Itsumi to go out during this time of the day. She has lessons!" Izayoi said calmly. "I forgot," Bankotsu said truthfully. "I remembered just now! That's why I came back."
"Well, I suppose one day won't make much of a difference," Izayoi sighed. "But tomorrow you'll have to do twice the work, young lady!"
"No mommy! Please!" Itsumi whined.
"I'm not changing my mind. You knew perfectly well that you had lessons today."
"Anyways," Bankotsu said, interrupting the argument. "Is lunch ready?" "I think so. Midori hasn't called us," Izayoi replied.
"Let's go check!" Bankotsu wrapped an arm around her waist as they walked inside.
"How come Mommy never gets mad at you!" Itsumi turned to Sentarou.
"It's because I'm more responsible and older," he replied.
"You're only a few minutes older than me!"
"I'm still older!"
Itsumi pushed him. Angered, Sentarou punched her back. Itsumi grabbed her arm, her eyes watering. "Owww! I'm gonna tell Daddy you hit me!" she yelled, running into the house. "Daddy's girl!" Sentarou yelled back, running after her.
"Momma's boy!" Itsumi yelled.
