Interlude: Memories (Konoha)

"Father?", Chouji's voice drifted softly. "Yes, Chouji?", Chomaru asked his son. "Do I ¾ do I have any other siblings father? I ¾ I wasn't an only child , right?"

"How ¾ why are you asking that now, son?", his father prodded gently. "Umm , Inoshi-san has always been the only one in the InoShikaCho to have a daughter, but I remembered that I once had a sister of my own! "

"How did this come to be , Chouji?" His father asked seriously this time "You were but a small child when they left." "What do you mean?" "She left with your mother when you were just 5 , Chouji." His tone was melancholic now. "But, why father? Why did they have to leave? Did you two have a fight?"

"She was bound by traditions, Chouji. She left to protect you and me. We were the cause of her death …. I was the cause of her death… She should have never fallen in love with me… We should have never married." The tears came freely now. It was kind of disheartening to see the giant of a man , Akimichi Chomaru, crying. It sent a deep and very sad message to everyone around, namely, Chouji. "Father, what of my sister? Is she dead, too?" "No." came the short reply. "Is she coming back anytime soon?", Chouji still hasn't given up. "I do hope so. But I've tried everything I could, Chouji. I've sent a missive from the Akimichi clanfor the Chuunin exams but she hasn't arrived yet and the Finals will begin tomorrow… I believe that the Elder of the Ishizue clan did not allow her." Chomaru said sadly.

"Father…" Chouji roused him again. "Yes?" "Do I ¾ have I inherited anything from mother?" Chouji asked wondering about the mother he barely knew. "Yes… you have her gentleness Chouji, and her love for butterflies… but other than that you're an Akimichi to the bone."
