10: The big five.
"Tou-san, wake up!" screamed an all too familiar voice, right into his ears.
As you can imagine, this was beyond painful because he relied on his ears a lot out of habit and this scared him enough to fall off the bed with a thud and a groan.
There was a childish giggle and he opened his eyes to see Saito trying to keep a straight face but couldn't stop the giggles that came out of his mouth.
"It looks like someone enjoying waking up your daddy today" He said in a mock growl and Saito paled a bit before trying to make a run for it.
Tatsuo tackled him to the ground where he then tickled him into tomorrow.
Saito, completely defenceless against his daddy brutal attack and became red faced with laughter.
"Do you give?" Tatsuo said, smirking while still tickling his son.
" I GIVE!" Saito shouted, followed by heavy breathing from having the stuffing tickled out of him.
Tatsuo waited for his son to catch his breath than picked him up and said "Now let's get you clean and ready for the day" heading the way to the bathroom and picking up his towel.
Saito was left to watch as his daddy filled the bath tub and put a weird liquid in it that made the water bubbly.
Tatsuo than stripped his son naked were he then put him into the warm bath tub.
Saito splashed a bit, feeling the soap around his body and it tickled, he then started to make snow man out of the bubbles while Tatsuo shook his head in amusement while scrubbing him to make him all clean.
When he was all done and poured the water, he took his son hand and pulled him out of the bath and dried him with his red towel and helped him brush his own teeth much to his son displeasure who said, he could do it by himself and pouted.
He then helped his son put on his underwear and clothes which a white top which had a big 'S' in the middle with a star, blue jacket, dark blue jeans and hip-tops.
Saito looked so adorable.
"Tou-san, can you guess what today is?" Saito said, following after his daddy downstairs.
"Wednesday?" Tatsuo said, hiding his grin.
Saito pouted at his daddy answer. "I'm five today, tou-san"
"Really? I thought that was tomorrow" Tatsuo said in a joking tone before they turned right into the new living room of their new house to find a banner high up that said 'Happy Birthday Saito' in colourful writing and a stock full of presents underneath of it.
Saito eyes lit up at the sight of all those presents.
"Happy birthday, son" Tatsuo said, smiling at the excited five old son.
"Their all for me?" Saito asked, especially since he had never seen so many presents in his entire short life.
"Of course who else do you think these are for?" Laughing at the flushed look on his son face and taking him so his back was facing towards the presents, where he sat his son down.
Saito pouted but didn't object before he noticed something off and asked. " Tou-san. Where is Uncle Mika and Uncle K2?"
Tatsuo sat down and said. "They will be here later on. It's weird not seeing them early in the morning everyday but you'll slowly get used to it"
Saito nodded and finally got a proper look at their new home.
Last week, they said goodbye to the tree house they had been living in and went to buy new house around a neighbourhood that couldn't be called a city kind, where people are always on the go and everywhere was cramped.
In the one they moved into, it was spacious and the surrounding was calm and had a relaxing vibe and everybody know everybody.
It was very much a country themed neighbourhood so it really wasn't that big of a move from the forest they've been living in.
The house wasn't too big or too small. He had a whole room to himself which was decorated in fiery red and there were dragon figurines on the shelves and even a small TV and a play station with several PSP games with it.
His daddy room on the other hand was very plain compared to his own and only filled with what was necessary however the furry white rug was fluffy when he confirmed that by spending hours just rolling around in it.
The living room was huge, well to him anyway and the black sofa they got was squishy and he bounced for he didn't know how long.
Of course all this stuff had to be ordered and carried inside and both his uncles were more than happy to help them move.
He thought back to how many people had come up to them and introduced themselves just to be neighbourly.
It would have work if not for the fact that all their new 'neighbours' were females who stared at both his daddy and uncles who were too busy lifting a coach inside with heart shaped eyes and a seductive smile as they failed to flirt with them.
Suddenly the door bell rang and before Tatsuo could get up, Saito gave him a pleading him look to let him do it.
Since it was Saito birthday, he let him open it.
Saito beamed and took a chair to look through the peep hole to see who it was.
It was Akeno and her mom.
He got down and unlocked the door with his daddy not too far behind him and gave a smile to Akeno mother.
"Well hello, Maria. It seems you're the first ones here, please come in" His daddy said with that accent in his voice again that Saito hoped he would lose sometime soon in the meantime, he went to look at what Akeno was wearing.
Akeno wore a completely white dress with a cream bow around her waist, the girl was looking everywhere but him while her mother ushered her inside the house.
"You look nice, Akeno" Saito said and Akeno let out a 'meep' which amused him to no end.
"Y-you look nice as well. H-happy birthday Saito" She cursed her splutter.
Meanwhile both of their parents were exchanging pleasantries with each other.
As more guests filled came in and when Mika and K2 showed up, Saito know the party had finally started.
Mika wore a long white coat with a cream shirt and pants while K2 had a black suit with a red striped tie on, making his look much older than what he usual looked like. How Mika got him to wear that would always remain a mystery.
He rushed to hug Uncle Mika who bent down and returned the hug and messed Saito hair up and said. "How my favourite Nephew doing?" and for once K2 had managed to keep his mouth shut.
Saito beamed and said "Fine, Uncle. Did you get me a present?" eyeing the present in K2 hand.
Mika smiled and said, "Of course, we got you a present for the both of us"
"Happy birthday, Saito" K2 bite his lip from saying 'brat'. It would do no good to say that out loud to the birthday boy no less.
"And I'll take that" A voice said and the present was taken by Tatsuo while his son pouted. "Not opening your presents until after cake"
Saito perked up by the thought of cake and went to find Akeno who was outside in the garden by herself.
"Can somebody help!?" A voice yelled.
Saito turned around and met with a boy that had fair skin, soft and delicate eye lashes and completely silver hair.
He thought he was looking at an angel.
"Well don't just stand there, gaping like an idiot. Help me out" The boy said rudely, shocking the two of them and they finally noticed that the boy clothing was hooked onto a thorn and if he tried to get out, there would be a rip.
Saito and Akeno looked for a way to help the boy out without touching the thorn bush but to their dismay there was none.
Saito sighed, knowing what he had to do and know his hands would sting afterwards. He went to the boy side and was surprised to find that none of the thorns could penetrate his skin making unhooking the boy clothing that much easier.
"Well, took you long enough" The boy said, ruddily with no word of thanks what so ever.
Both Saito and Akeno exchanged looks before Akeno said. "Hook him back on"
Saito grabbed the smaller boy collar and began dragging him back to the thorn bush.
"Okay! I'm sorry! Thank you for helping me!" The boy said, seeing Saito was completely serious.
Saito stopped dragging him and the boy let out a sigh of relief.
"Didn't your parents ever teach you to say please and thank you?" Akeno said with her hips on her waist while Saito was eyeing him with a certain gleam.
The boy got down on his knees and apologised "I'm sorry. It was rude of me and thank you for unhooking me" he then began to tear up.
They weren't falling for his crocodile tears.
Dammit!
He wiped them away and sat down and said "You guys are alright. My name is Kato Harumi and around these parts I'm called the 'White angel'."
Both Akeno and Saito gave him a look and he caved in.
"okay! Nobody calls me that! I don't even have any friends! Do you know how hard it is to make them when their either jealous of how perfect I look, scared that I can beat any kid in the neighbourhood ass without even trying and have an IQ that puts most children to shame!? Well I say, suck it!"
Saito eyebrow just kept on climbing higher and higher the more came out of the silver haired boy mouth.
"Okay..." Akeno didn't know what to make of the boy and just went on and smiled. "My name is Akeno Mako" turning to Saito.
"Saito Ka-ryuu" Saito said, with a lot of pride behind it and Kato noticed. "Do you want to play Flame chicken with us?" he asked and Kato raised his eyebrow, wondering what on earth Flame chicken was and Saito ran through the basic rules of the game and when he was finished, Kato was grinning like a loon while Saito got out a match.
Akeno wanted no part of this and decided to watch as both Kato and Saito went up to a tall older-teen looking boy who paled at seeing them both sporting identically smiles.
"Get away from me! You crazy Kids!" K2 ran while both of them chanced after him.
"K2 you better not hurt me son!" Tatsuo shouted.
"And what about them hurting me!" K2 shouted back in disbelief.
Many children had stopped what they were doing and had opted to try and tackle K2 to the floor even though they didn't know what was about to befall the demon.
K2 found himself being tripped over by little kids and once he was down, a silver haired kid took out some rope and began tying him up while the other kids held him down.
Saito appeared and relight a match, K2 eyes grow wide.
Oh hell no! This is my favourite shirt! K2 thought, trying to move away, to hell with Tatsuo threat while Saito was drawing closer with a certain gleam with the flame.
While the adults just ignored what was happening once Mika had told them, he would be fine and they were just going to burn his clothes which no females had any compliments about.
"Who wants Ice cream!"
"ME!" and all the kids disappeared and K2 breathed a sigh of relief that he was not going to have to go home naked.
Saito took a cone and turned around, making sure K2 could see the lighter.
"Your evil" Kato just had to comment and Saito smiled.
"Why thank you"
Akeno shook her head in amusement, while taking one ice cream and making sure none of it got on her dress.
Once all three had finished their Ice cream, Saito said. "Do you want to see what my room looks like?" and Kato shrugged now curious while Akeno was slightly more reluctant to see it.
"Follow me" Saito said and they followed.
"Son, where are you going?" Tatsuo just had to ask, wondering who the other boy was.
"Can I show them my room, Tou-san?" Saito looked at him and gave him the puppy dog eyes.
"Fine, go ahead" Tatsuo caved in and Saito was fast up the stairs followed by the other two.
They stopped in front of a door that said 'Saito room' and Saito said "Now presenting my room" swung the door open so that the other two can have a look.
"It's so red" Kato just had to say, his room was more on the white side which was bigger than this room with his own butler.
Akeno squeaked, she had never been in a boy room before and wasn't sure if she should step in or not.
"Come in, guys" Saito said, encouraging them to come in and Kato and Akeno came in, feeling the furry carpet and seeing the dragon figurines.
Saito sat on top of his dragon themed bed.
"There's so many dragons" Kato said, he had never seen so many dragon toys in one room.
Saito smiled. " You could say my family has a thing with dragons" he said grabbing his favourite dragon plush toy which he named 'Draco'.
"There not all dragons" Akeno said, catching eyes on a unicorn and the other kind, she didn't know what that was. It was like a mix between a dragon, antelope and a bear combined.
"That's an Apocalyptic beast" Saito said, picking it up since he was told that was what Uncle K2 looked like before he was given his current form and him being the curious child he was, want to see what he used to look like.
"That's so cool" Kato said, crowding around it wanting to have a better look.
"It's cool and all but I prefer my red dragon" Saito said and Kato gave him a look like he was insane.
"Well I prefer the Unicorn, they are both beautiful and can be dangerous" Akeno said, picking it one up.
" The beast it better then both of yours combined!" Kato commented, sitting on Saito bed and finding it soft.
Saito and Akeno both shot him annoyed looks.
Saito smirked, "Let's see then" and with that, his dragon attacked the beast and knocked over Akeno unicorn.
Akeno looked down and when she looked back up it was like looking at the devil reincarnated.
"Your all going to die!"
She sent her Unicorn straight at Akeno beast and then went for Saito red dragon and began bouncing up and down on both of them.
"Now this mean's war!" Saito proclaimed, and they all gathered their forces and got ready for battle.
"ATTACK!" Kato yelled and the battle started.
Each side not giving an inch and reviving their members as they turned the once tidy bed room into a war zone.
" Kato" A female voice called out, stopping their war and when Kato looked up, his smile that he had been on his face was whipped off.
In the doorway was a woman with silver hair and heavily make-up, wearing a pink coco Chanel suit.
"Yes mother" Kato voice was flat making it, a sharp contrast to what it was before.
Saito and Akeno couldn't help the frown on their faces.
The woman was giving them a look that said exactly what she thought of them which wasn't good at all as she was treating his room like it was the second coming of the 'black death'. "Kato, we've spent too much time with these people. Come along now"
"Yes mother" Kato leaving to go and Saito daddy had just walked past the door.
Saito thought fast and said "Tou-san" Tatsuo stopped in his tracks and answered "Yes, son"
"Can Kato come over to play tomorrow?" Saito asked and Kato stiffened.
Tatsuo looked at Kato mother and wondered if she would agree to it and when she said nothing he said. "Sure, we can arrange something, right Mrs Harumi?" he said in a tone that sent a shiver down her spine.
She refused to show she was intimidated by the man in front of her, she put on a mask and put her nose in the air and said. "Fine but don't come crawling to me because you couldn't held the child!" and with that she spun off and began to head to the door.
Kato was stunned, he couldn't believe what just happen and when he did, he gave both Akeno and Saito a big hug and smiled.
"KATO!" The woman yelled.
"Coming Mother!" He yelled back and ran after her but not before saying. "See you later guys!" for once in his life, he would not be so lonely and have friends to play with and be a normal child.
Tatsuo watched them leave and turned to his son and Akeno and asked.
"Now who wants cake?"
"WE DO!"
And scene!
I am so sorry that this took me so long to do. I just didn't have any ideas for Saito birthday party until now. Next chapter will be Tatsuo trying out for his new teaching Job since the whole chapter was about Saito.
