If You Chose Tadase…
"You're really good with dialect!" Tadase had been praising me almost every period.
"Tadase-kun, I suck compared to you and the other classmates." I groan.
"But you're learning faster than any of us did!"
"Well that's because of my mother."
"Your mother?"
"She taught me a trick to learn languages quickly. She believed that 'a good mother or wife should always be prepared to accommodate their family regardless of where she is'." I cringed at the memory. "You wouldn't believe all the stuff she made me study in order to be a 'good mother/wife'."
"But the stuff she taught you is pretty useful, isn't it?"
"I know it is." I grumble.
"What is your mother like?"
"Don't even get me started! She's hard headed, stubborn, bossy, intelligent, clumsy, and naggy!"
"You must really look up to her." Tadase had a gentle smile on his face as we exited the building.
"Shut up."
"I knew it!"
"Tadase-kun!" A female voice called.
"Who are you?" Tadase asked looking at her.
This girl didn't wear the school uniform so she must not go to this university. Her uniform was a pure white sailor suit and her violet hair really stood out because of all that white. Her skin was fair as can be and she had the prettiest green eyes you ever did see.
"I'm here to pick you up. I know we weren't supposed to meet like this.." Her voice was timid and girly.
"Who are you?"
She bowed to him, " Hachikara Koizumi. Nice to meet you."
Tadase looked shocked, "You're my..?"
"Yes, I'm your fiancee." Her smile was dazzling.
Why was I getting knots in my stomach?
"Who is this?" Koizumi gestured to me.
Tadase put his arm around me, "This Hinamori Amu."
Choice A: Introduce Yourself as his girlfriend.
Choice B: Wait for Tadase to say that you're his girlfriend.
Choice A Outcome:
"It's nice to meet you! I'm Tadase-kun's girlfriend." I bowed to Koizumi.
I have to appear as his girlfriend and make her believe us! Or else how can I ever make his mother believe us?
"You're his girlfriend?" Koizumi looked at me with piercing eyes.
"Y-Yes."
"Did you know he was engaged?"
"Actually, he just recently told me."
"Recently?"
"Yes, I told her when I found out you were coming to meet me."
"Why would you date another girl when you're engaged?"
"Because I'm in love with Amu-chan and not you." Tadase said politely. "I'm sure you must be interested in a young boy at home."
"No. I've had my heart set on you."
"I'm sorry for making your efforts worthless." I say and bow lower.
"Shall we go for tea?"
"All three of us?" I asked confused.
"Yes, I mean you'll have to meet Tadase's mother."
"I know."
She linked arms with me and gave me a happy smile.
"Shall we go?"
"Y-Yes!"
Tadase followed behind us awkwardly.
Choice B Outcome:
"H-hello!" I bowed to her.
"Is she your friend?"
"No, this is my girlfriend." He gripped my shoulders.
"Your girlfriend?" I could hear the anger in her voice.
"Y-Yes." I bowed again.
"Did you know he was engaged?" Koizumi asked.
"Y-yes." My voice wavering.
Her aura was so commanding.
"Then why do you still date him?"
"Because I'm in love with her." Tadase said earnestly.
Koizumi had a pained look on her face.
"Then we should go see your mother, now shouldn't we?"
She linked arms with both of us, with her in the middle.
"Er..yeah."
Koizumi led us all the way to Tadase's house.
Continuation:
Tadase's house was as big as the main house at the Hinamori estate. Tadase's mother was waiting at the entrance.
"Who is this pink haired one?"
"Mother this is Hinamori Amu." Tadase looked determined to tell his mother who I was. "She is my girlfriend and I am in love with her."
"WHAT?!" His mother fumed.
"Yes, Mother. I refuse to marry anyone aside from Amu-chan."
"W-What?!" I said in response.
"What kind of declaration is that, Tadase!?" His mother fumed. "You know you're engaged to another woman!"
"A woman I never met before in my entire life!" Tadase shot back.
"I refuse to let her into my home."
"Then, I refuse to go inside either."
"TADASE!"
Choice A: "Tadase-kun, you should go inside."
Choice B: "Why don't we go somewhere else?"
Choice A Outcome:
"Tadase-kun, you should go inside." I say meekly. "You'll just get in more trouble if you continue to fight with your mother."
"But Amu-chan.." He hugged me towards him in front of the two wicked women. "I love you and I refuse to give up on us."
"At least that girl has SOME sense." His mother sneered. "Come inside."
"No."
"Tadase-kun.." I said.
It was no use in convincing him. I didn't want him to further his dispute with his mother.
"I'm not going inside if Amu-chan can't."
"Wait, you said 'Hinamori' right?" Koizumi asked.
"Yes, why?" Tadase asked in an annoyed tone.
"Are you referring to the Hinamori's of the international wine and spirit industry?"
"Yes, yes I am."
Koizumi's jaw tightened.
Tadase's mother looked conflicted.
Choice B Outcome:
"Why don't we go somewhere else?" I suggested.
There was no use in convincing his mother to let me go inside.
"No, Amu-chan! I won't leave until she gives you a chance!"
"I refuse to give this wretch a chance!"
"She is not a wretch!"
"Hotori-san, I am not here to cause trouble but I refuse to be called such names." I said.
She looked at me utterly horrified.
"Wait, you said 'Hinamori' right?" Koizumi asked.
"Yes, why?" Tadase asked in an annoyed tone.
"Are you referring to the Hinamori's of the international wine and spirit industry?"
"Yes, yes I am."
Koizumi's jaw tightened.
Tadase's mother looked conflicted.
Continuation:
"Fine, she can come inside." Tadase's mother said and walked into the house.
"Come on." Tadase took my hand and led me inside.
Koizumi followed behind.
"We're short on cooking hands today, so please forgive the lack of good food."
"Amu-chan can cook!"
"I'll go make something, if you guys want?" I offered.
"Why not?" Koizumi said.
"Do what you want." Was all Tadase's mother said.
I pulled up my shirt sleeves and started to get to work.
"What are you cooking, Amu-chan?" Tadase asked, checking in on me.
"Erm..well let's see. I'm making seafood udon, some sushi, domburi, and fried rice."
"It smells delicious."
"Thank you!"
"No problem."
"I think these two dishes are ready, would you bring it out for me?" I asked tadase and handed him the food.
"Sure thing, Love." Tadase winked and took the food away.
I blushed as he left. How can he say all this stuff so easily.
"Your food sure is delicious." Koizumi said.
"T-Thank you."
"But mine is better."
"Eh?"
"Did you know we've been engaged since we were six?"
"W-What?"
"I guess Tadase-kun didn't know until now." Koizumi walked over to me. "I've trained to be his wife all my life."
"…" I didn't know what to say.
"His mother sent me a picture of him every week. I have seen every side of Tadase-kun. I know him better than anyone else! I have even learned how to be good to him in bed!" She sure is shameless…
But to work all her life just to be with one man…
"Haven't you ever been in love with someone else?"
"No, I have not. My heart has remained faithful to tadase-kun all my life."
I was speechless. I could tell she was being honest.
"Do you really love Tadase-kun?"
Choice A: "Yes, I do!"
Choice B: Speechless.
Choice A Outcome:
"Yes, I do!" I still have to help Tadase, though.
"Is that so?"
"Yes!"
"Good."
"Huh?"
"Because I want a worthy opponent."
"Opponent?"
"Obviously, Tadase-kun loves you, so I'll fight for him too!"
Choice B Outcome:
I didn't know what to say.
I can't say I love Tadase.
"Is that a no?"
"I..i.."
"If you can't say it, then you aren't a worthy opponent."
She walked away.
Continuation:
I brought back the rest of the dishes and sat down to eat. Tadase's mother stared me down. The whole tea session went well in a tense silence. Tadase walked me home with Koizumi tagging along.
"Why did you follow us?"
"Because I want walk you back home!" She gave him a sweet smile.
"Well, I'd like to go home alone."
"Don't be so harsh."
Tadase kissed me in front of Koizumi.
"Good night, and get some rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"O-Ok."
"I love you." He kissed my cheek.
"I love you too." I say with a stutter.
"You're so cute." Tadase chuckled and left with Koizumi.
What was I going to do? Tadase's mother obviously hated me….
