Chapter 4: Yue
Goemon Kou was walking in the street with his daughter, Ichigo, next to him. Ichigo looked up at Goemon and asked, "Where are we going, daddy?"
"A place I used to go to in my high school days," said Goemon. They soon arrived at a small restaurant with a sign that read, "Uno." Goemon led Ichigo into the restaurant. A thirty-one- year old man greeted them front behind the counter. He paused and burst into a bright smile.
"Goemon? Long time, no see," said the man. Goemon smiled and said, "Nice to see you again, old man Hatori." The man, known as Hatori, groaned.
"You still call me that?"
Goemon chuckled and sat Ichigo in an empty chair. Hatori eyed Ichigo and asked, "Who is the kid?" Goemon patted Ichigo's head.
"She's my daughter, Ichigo," said Goemon. Hatori smiled and said, "You have a daughter? Does that mean you married or is she out of wedlock?" Goemon groaned.
"I'm married of course," said Goemon. Hatori chuckled and said, "That's nice to hear. I'm still single." Hatori looked at Ichigo, who stared at him with confused eyes.
"She doesn't look like her mother," said Hatori. Goemon glared at Hatori.
"What are you talking about? She has her mother's brown eyes and curly brown hair. Besides, you never met my beautiful Uru."
Hatori blinked in confusion.
"Uru? You mean you never married Yue. I thought you two were made for each other?"
"Yue?" asked Goemon filled with confusion. Ichigo looked at her father and asked, "Who's Yue?" Goemon shrugged indicating that he didn't know. Hatori sighed.
"How could you forget her, when she saved your life?"
Goemon thought a long while and suddenly remembered a time when he was seventeen.
Goemon, seventeen, was in "Uno" drinking a jug of beer. Hatori, age twenty-four, looked at Goemon in concern.
"You really shouldn't drink that much, Goemon," said Hatori. Goemon glared at Hatori with flushed cheeks.
"Shut up, old man."
"I'm not that old," stated Hatori. Goemon sighed and continued to drink.
"You should listen to him, you know."
Goemon stopped drinking and looked to the side. Sitting next to him in the bar was a girl with long black hair wearing jeans and a leather jacket. Goemon smirked and asked, "What do you know?"
"Well beer is bad for your liver," said the girl. Goemon chuckled and said, "I don't give a damn about my liver and who do you think you are that you can tell me what to do?" The girl smirked as she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"My name is Yue, a student of Dorian school."
Goemon burst out laughing and said, "So you're a middle schooler? Well I have news for you: I'm in high school, so I can tell you what to do." Goemon leaned close to her face. Yue sighed and placed her hand on his forehead.
"Don't get so close, you reek of beer," said Yue. Goemon groaned and pulled away from her.
The door suddenly burst open revealing a group of men in black suits. One of the men pointed at Goemon and said, "We finally found you Goemon Kou. Now pay us back our money." Goemon glared at them.
"I don't need to do it now," said Goemon obviously drunk. One of the men punched Goemon across the face making him fall off his chair.
"Just pay us now," said one of the men. Goemon attempted to stand up, but fell back down. Another of the men tried to kick Goemon, but he was suddenly punched across the face making him fall over. The men looked at the attacker, Yue.
Yue crunched her knuckles and said, "Don't you know that it is rude to attack people in restaurants?" One of the men ran at her and yelled, "Stay out of this bitch!" He tried to punch Yue, but Yue dodged. She grabbed his arm and flung him into the air. She then did a flying kick sending him flying into the other men. The men looked at her with wide eyes. Yue went into a fighting stance daring them to attack.
One of the men took the challenge running at her. He tried to kick her face, but she blocked his kick with her arm and then slammed him into the ground causing the place to shake. The other men began to attack her, but she took them down easily.
Yue pinned the last of the men and said, "Leave now." The man nodded and led the others out.
When they were gone, Yue looked down at Goemon, who was being held by Hatori.
"Is he OK?" asked Yue. Hatori nodded and said, "He just had too much to drink." Yue kneeled in front of Goemon and asked, "Do you know where he lives?" Hatori nodded and told the address.
Yue grabbed Goemon by his arm and placed it around her shoulder. She lifted him up and said, "I'll take him home." Hatori nodded and watched Yue walk out with Goemon.
Goemon opened his eyes slightly and looked at Yue. He smirked at Yue with flushed cheeks and said, "You fight well." Yue thanked him without looking at him.
"You're very beautiful, please marry me," said Goemon and then kissed her cheek. Yue gasped in surprise and smacked his forehead.
"Stay asleep!"
Goemon blushed at the memory and sank into his chair.
"I can't believe I forgot that. I even proposed to her," said Goemon in embarrassment. Hatori chuckled and said, "She really was beautiful. Too bad she's not your wife." Ichigo looked at Goemon and asked, "So you liked another girl before mommy?" Goemon laughed uneasily.
"I was drunk that day, so don't worry Ichigo," said Goemon. Hatori stared at Goemon and asked, "So is your life better?" Goemon nodded.
"I have a good job; I paid off my entire debt; and have a happy family. I couldn't ask for anything more," said Goemon. Hatori smiled and said, "I wonder if Yue's life is just as good as yours?" Goemon smiled at the vague memory of Yue.
The door to the restaurant suddenly opened revealing Sasuke with Erin next to her. Hatori greeted them, but suddenly paused.
"Yue?"
Goemon's eyes widen as he looked back at Sasuke. Sasuke pointed at herself and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"You're Yue aren't you?" asked Hatori. Erin giggled and said, "Did you meet this guy back in middle school?" Sasuke admitted that she didn't know. Hatori chuckled.
"Looks like you forgot me, but it was only for one day anyway," said Hatori. Erin began to tease Sasuke saying that she met her ex, but Sasuke denied it greatly. Hatori looked at Goemon, who was still looking at Sasuke with wide eyes.
"She looks fine to me," said Hatori. Goemon smiled and nodded as he patted Ichigo's head.
So Sasuke saved me twice.
