Chapter 4
"Hachiman! Look at you. You're a big boy now. Come here let your old Aniki hold you"
OH JESUS! I guess having your body almost crushed can wake you up. Seeing your brother that you honestly forgot existed after six years can affect your mind a bit. Can't really blame myself for forgetting that he exists since he hasn't bother talking to us since he left to go to America. Which reminds me.
"Weren't you in America?"
"Well you are correct, I was in America but as the overwhelming physical proof in front of you shows, I'm back in Japan. Unless I'm actually an astral projection here to fight you then die right after we fight, not fight."
"Does that mean I'm a sith lord? Kind of rude to say to your brother who you've abandoned for six years."
"Being a sith lord is pretty cool. The insulting part is you being Crylo Ren. And what do you mean abandoned? I've been sending you guys cards and money constantly like every two weeks."
"We haven't gotten anything from you, you hermit."
Don't look at me like I should understand what's going on.
"Hold on, you guys haven't gotten any of my cards?"
"I just said that we didn't. Are your ears broken as well old aniki?"
…. Are you going to say anything or are you going to stare off into space. I hope you come back soon like Sputnik 1, which means burn and die while reentering orbit.
"I swear you guys should have been getting them. I've been sending to 450-1….. I've been sending them to my old house."
"There's the reentering orbit. I'll give it to you though since your old house isn't too far from here. Too bad shipping is a, you either get it right or wrong, kind of thing."
"You think we can break in grab the stuff?"
"I prefer not to be a criminal if I have a choice."
"Oh, don't worry about that, I'll just knock you out and drag you there. Then you'll be associated with me by default so no choice on your part. Better for your conscience."
"I choice not to be a criminal because I don't want to be arrested, it's not a moral issue."
"Oh, then that sucks for you because you're totally going to be arrested with me if we get caught."
"Or how about we don't break into your old house? I think that would be the best option here."
"Yeah but I got you guys a lot of stuff and all the cool postcards I sent too. I even drew cute cartoons on them." That's quite a longing look on your face Aniki. If you were looking at a kid like that I might have to call the police.
"Oh well I suppose you're right, what's lost is lost, no reason to dwell about it, unless… you join me Anikinman. If I had a lightsaber, I would give it to you. I think I'll put that it in my to do list. Anyways, where's the rest of the party? Or is this the tutorial that lasts for hours?"
"Komachi is out with her friends and mom and dad are well, being mom and dad."
"You said Komachi is out with friends, are there any…. potential threats?"
"Don't worry I've already scout them out. No boys in the group"
"And any potential of them meeting up with boys?"
"Low risk of that. She's just going to study and the eat with her friends. Too many people if they met up with boys and Komachi isn't the kind of girl to deal with that many people."
"Good stuff Bravo Eight-Six."
Hold on, I'm remembering that I had stuff to do.
"Wait, did Mom tell me to come home to clean because you were coming home?"
"Well that would be impressive and creepy if she did because I don't have any of your numbers so kind of impossible to contact you guys."
"Then why did she tell me to clean?"
"Probably because Mom is … well you know Mom."
"Right. Well do you need help unpacking?"
"Nah, I have everything right here in this suitcase." Don't slap down your suitcase like a used car salesman. Also why is it so tiny? Did you not buy anything or have anything while you were in America?
"Well I'll go tell Mom and Dad, and Komachi that you're back home."
"Yeah we can go out to eat after I find my wallet."
"Kay." I should stop nodding to people, it's a bad habit of mine.
I guess he hasn't changed that much, always switching focus at the drop of a hat but somehow I doubt your wallet would be under the couch in a house you just came back too.
I start to head up to my room. God my feet hurt from all that walking. It's nice to be able to take off my socks and walk on the cold wooden floors. I wonder how tatami floors would feel. You think living in Japan we would have some tatami floors but Dad being the corporate sheep that he is likes the modern apartments instead.
Ah stairs, my oldest enemy. It should be a law that houses should have an elevator built in or we outlaw stairs, either way I will have my revenge.
A/N: This chapter took a bit longer than I would have liked because I wanted to have the banter between Hachiman and his brother to be a bit more natural. I wanted to keep true to Hachiman but still have him be a bit more since he's talking to a family member that is similar to him.
