The Story of Hamtaro- Ch.2
Hey, I am back to say that I have graduated from high school and is enjoying the time I have until college. I am happy to bring you the second chapter of my story. I hope you like it.
The muscular teen walked over to the unconscious teen and began to look at him. "Well this is the first time I have seen something like this," he said looking at the boy.
"What is it?" asked the blonde-hair teen.
"His hair is orange and white," the teen. "This is strange, right Maxwell."
"Yes, that's right," Maxwell replied. "But did you have to say my name Boss."
"Sorry about that," Boss said with a sorry look on his face.
"It's fine," Maxwell replied. "Just see if he's still breathing."
Boss walked over to the teen to see if he was alive. "Hey you alright?" Boss asked as he tapped the teen on his face. As he got closer to the teen's face, the orange hair teen shot up and collided his head with Boss.
"Oww, did I just hit a wall?" the teen said holding his head.
"No, you hit me," Boss said with a hand over his head. "What's your and that little girl's name?" Boss asked pointing to little girl.
"My name is Hamtaro Haruna and she is Penelope Chibimaru," Hamtaro replied. "Now since I told you my name, what's yours?"
"Fair enough," Boss said. "My name is Boss Taisho, the tall one is Maxwell Noppo, the one who thinks he looks good is Stan Tarahamu, and the pretty girl over there is Bijou Ribon. Hey Stan get away from her!" Boss screamed at Stan, who was trying flirt with Bijou. He ran towards Stan, while Maxwell walked towards Hamtaro.
"I'm sorry for the way your help is acting," Maxwell said looking annoyed. "Are you okay?"
"Well, my head hurts and I can barely move my legs. Other than that, I feel fine," Hamtaro said before coughing up some blood. "How did I end up here?"
"Well you are in our hideout," he said before turning to his companions. "Boss! Stan!"
"Yes Maxwell," they said in unison.
"Stop playing around and go the medical team," he ordered.
"Yes sir," the two said before going deeper in the clubhouse.
"Is he okay?" Bijou asked, looking a little calmer.
"From what I can tell, he has some internal bleeding and very exhausted," Maxwell said to the French girl. "Can you go talk to the little girl over there?"
Bijou nodded and walked to the little girl. "Hello, what is your name?" Bijou asked.
"My name is Penelope and I'm seven years old." Bijou looked a bit surprised to see a girl her age answered the question so well. Most kids Bijou knew would just say their name and would stop right there. "What's your name?" The little asked.
"My name is Bijou and I'm fifteen years old," Bijou responded with a smile.
"You're younger than my big brother," Penelope said. "He's sixteen. Is my big brother okay?" The girl face went from happy to sad in an instance.
"Your brother is going to be fine," Bijou said reassuring the little girl. "Can you tell me how you got here?"
"Okay, it started this morning…" Penelope told Bijou what happened.
It was a beautiful morning at the Chibimaru household. My father gave the servants the day off. Everyone but Hamtaro had the day. "Hamtaro, the reason why you don't have a day off is that you are the only servant who is good with Penelope," said Penelope's father. "You are the most loyal servant we have. Soon, you will be able to pay off your family's debt to us."
"Thank you my lord. If I may ask, what does me being good with Penelope have to do with me not getting the off?" Hamtaro asked in a bow.
"Well, I need you to take Penelope out to the market to gather some things for dinner," the lord answered to his servant. "You see, we already have suitors her age and we need her to be able to rely on herself. Most of the suitors only have field servants so they do their own cooking. So, I want Penelope to be able to do necessary things, like cooking and shopping."
"So in about seven or eight years, Penelope will be married," Hamtaro said still bowing. "I hope I can see that day, my lord."
"You have a good heart Hamtaro," Penelope's father said. "Since Penelope is an only child, you have become like a brother to her. No need to bow that long, you will hurt your back that way. Now then, I want you to take Penelope fishing too."
"Fishing my lord," Hamtaro with a look of doubt. "That will be hard to do. Penelope does not like to be patient. Last week, she followed me to chop some wood and complained about I was not chopping wood fast enough."
The lord laughed as he heard this. "That sounds like my daughter. Now then, go have a good time."
"Shall I go get her?" Hamtaro asked.
"No need for that," the lord said. "She has been eavesdropping for some time now. Alright have a good time."
After my father bid us farewell, we were on our way. We got to market and I was happy to see so many people. Since I hardly get out of the house, I was able to spend time with kids my age. Then we went fishing. I caught a little fish and my big brother caught a bunch of fish. I was mad, but big brother told me most people don't catch anything their first time. That put me in a good mood. As we walked back to our home, it caught my brother's attention that it was too bright at that time of day. Then we saw it, our home was on fire. As we crossed it, we came across a group of four men. I kept running but big brother stayed behind. I turned and saw him trying to get his family's sword. He told me that me like these people were called bandits. He once told me if I ever met some, I should run away. But he didn't run away, he tried to fight. It looked like he was winning, but then he was stabbed and thrown in the river. I jumped in to help him, but he kept going under. After an hour, a nice man found us and let us stay the night. When I woke up, I thought big brother was still sleeping. After a few hours, he still didn't wake up. After that, everyone was here.
"That's what happened," Penelope finished telling Bijou and Maxwell who overheard everything.
"That is terrible what happened," Bijou said embracing the girl.
"It's amazing that she remembered all of that in such detail," Maxwell said. "Your brother is fine by the way. He is relaxing and then going to eat. First thing first, we need to get you out of those wet clothes." As Maxwell explained, two girls came from behind. "This is Pashmina Mahura and Sandy Torahamu. They'll help you get situated."
As the four girls left, Maxwell stayed in the room looking at a map on the table. "Alright Spat, what are you planning?" Maxwell was thinking long and hard before came back to get him to sleep. "Soon", Maxwell thought, "soon I'm going to figure out your plan. When I do, you are going down."
