Life in Namimori: Chapter 2: The Past (Part 2: Sawada Household)
This chapter takes place in Namimori 5 years in the past. You the reader are the young 10 year old Chouko Nakamura in this chapter.
~ Outside the Sawada Household - 5 years in the past – Mid Afternoon – It's still summer time and it is getting hotter and hotter by the minute – You (CHOUKO) and your family (YASUO; DAD and MEGUMI; MUM) climb down from a taxi, slightly dehydrated and sweaty. YASUO pays the taxi driver and slams the taxi's door shut. You (CHOUKO) and your family (YASUO; DAD and MEGUMI; MUM) walk towards the front door of the Sawada household
*Brrrring! Goes the doorbell as Megumi pushes the button on the door*
*You hear footsteps running towards the door and you hear a woman's voice*
Woman: *Shouts* "Who is it?"
Megumi: *Sarcastic and Cheerful* "Delivery woman, delivering a special package straight from Tokyo!"
You: *You whisper to Yasuo* "Why does Mama have to answer everything so strangely?"
Yasuo: *Whispers back* "Simply because it's Mama"
*You start giggling as the door opens to reveal a sweet looking lady with brown hair and big chocolate coloured eyes wearing an apron- her eyes had a strong resemblance to Megumi's eyes*
Woman: *gleefully* "Megumi-Chan!"
Megumi: *gleefully* "Nana-Chan!"
*Both Megumi and Nana (as you find out) hug one another merrily and cheerfully*
Nana: *shocked* "Oh my, I didn't expect you to get here so soon, I thought I had another hour or so" *She places her hand on the side of her face, looking rather embarrassed and flustered* "Please come in" * She opens the door wider and indicates for you and your family to enter*
* Megumi, Yasuo and you walk through the door, you look around gazing merrily at the new surroundings and you suddenly spot a rather small, chocolate eye coloured boy staring at you, hiding slightly behind a room's door's frame. The minute he notices you looking at him, he runs into the room.*
Yasuo: *Whispers gently and quietly to you* "Chouko-Chan, don't just stand there take your shoes off"
You: *You whispers back to Yasuo* "Oh, okay Papa" *you take your shoes off and place them neatly in front of the door*
*You and your parents are taken to a living room, the room looks like any other normal Japanese working class families' living room. The same boy you spotted before hides behind a tall blonde man*
Nana: "I'd like you to meet my husband, Iemitsu and my son, Tsunayoshi, you can call him Tsuna-Chan" *She smiles warmly at you and your family*
Megumi: "Ah, He really is cute- he looks just like you Nana-Chan" *Your Mama smiles warmly at Tsuna*
Megumi: "This is my husband, Yasuo Nakamura and my daughter, Chouko-Chan" *Megumi smiles warmly at Nana and her family*
*Iemitsu stares at you and Yasuo for a moment*
Iemitsu: "Your daughter is quite the beauty" *He comes closer towards you as he says this and pats you softly on the head*
*You smile happily at this comment and give Iemitsu your classic sweet smile*
Yasuo: "Thanks, your son is seems to be quite the shy one" *Your Papa laughs kindly as he looks at Tsuna*
Iemitsu: *He reaches for out for Yasuo's hand. Yasuo grabs it wholeheartedly* "Nice to meet you! You can call me Iemitsu"
Yasuo: "Nice to meet you too, then you can call me, Yasuo" *Your Papa smiles at him as they shake hands*
Nana: "Why don't you come and sit down, while I get some drinks"
Megumi: *Humbly* "No need to be so formal! Were family after all- I'll help out with the drinks as well" *Megumi and Nana go to the kitchen*
Iemitsu: "How about we go and wait in the living room- there's a fan in there, we can even watch the baseball game on telly"
Yasuo: "Ok, let's go, I heard that this baseball is going to be epic"
*Both men leave you alone with your cousin, Tsuna*
*Tsuna stands there blankly watching the adults as they talk to one another. You look at Tsuna; he was small for a boy and looked a lot like his mum. You start to wonder why he's so shy and scared.*
You: *You walk towards Tsuna* "Nice to meet you cousin! My name is Nakamura Chouko, call me Chouko-Chan" *you smile at him sweetly*
Tsuna: *His face goes slightly red* "Nice to meet you.... My name's Tsuna" *He says this in a quiet and timid voice*
You: "Then from now on I'll call you Tsuna-Chan" *you gently grab hold of his hand* "Let's get along from now on" *you smile at him kindly as you shake his small hand*
Tsuna: *he stares at you slightly embarrassed for a moment and smiles sweetly* "Uhm, l-let's get along from now on"
*You reach into your pocket and take out a couple of lollipops*
You: "Here take a lollipop" *You offer him a lollipop*
*Tsuna stares at the lollipop and back at you, before finally, taking it*
Tsuna: "T-thank you, Chouko-Chan"
*You put a lollipop into your mouth whilst smiling cheekily at Tsuna.*
You: "Don't tell mama otherwise Mama will scold Chouko-Chan for spoiling her appetite!"
Tsuna: "O-okay" *Tsuna puts the lollipop into his mouth as well*
You: "Chouko-Chan and Tsuna-Chan are going to play catch in the backyard!" *You grab Tsuna's hand* "Let's go, Tsuna-Chan" *you smile sweetly at him*
Tsuna: *Surprised and embarrassed*"U-uh, Okay"
*Both you and Tsuna run out of the room hand in hand and go to the backyard to play catch, leaving both your parents in the living room staring at you both surprisingly as you leave.*
~ Sawada Household's Kitchen ~
Nana: "Oh my, Chouko-Chan is exactly like you Megumi-Chan" *Starts Laughing as she reaches into the cupboard and brings out a jug and six glasses, she places them on the table. She goes to the fridge and places a few beers on the tray*
Megumi: "Really? Chouko-Chan takes more after her father than me- she has his beautiful amethyst eyes" *starts laughing as she gets a wooden tray out* "On the other hand Tsuna-Chan looks a lot like you, Nana-Chan" *She pours the orange juice into the jug and hands the jug to Nana*
Nana: "Oh my really? Tsuna resembles his father in many more ways than me" *She picks up the jug and places it on the tray with the glasses*
Megumi: *Megumi looks at her unconvinced* "Such as?"
Nana: "Such as his-, well his-, his-"
*Nana stops and starts thinking; she places a single finger under her chin as she thinks. Megumi stares at Nana inquisitively*
Nana: "…Let's take these drinks to the living room" *Nana hastily grabs the tray and starts to make her way to the living room*
Megumi: *Megumi sweat drops* "She hasn't changed from when I last saw her"
~ Sawada Household's Living Room ~
*Yasuo and Iemitsu are sitting down in the living room, whilst the noise of the television can be heard in the background.*
Yasuo: *Looks at the Chouko and Tsuna* "Well I'm glad those two can get along, I want Chouko-Chan to enjoy as much as she possibly can"
Iemitsu: "Well we all want to see our children grow up fine- as fathers it's our duty after all to make sure they do" *He proudly and cheerfully smiles*
*Megumi and Nana enter the room both of them carrying trays*
Nana: "We brought juice and beer"
Megumi: "We also brought some watermelon"
*Nana and Megumi cheerfully place the trays on the table*
Nana: "Oh my, where are the children?" *She looks around the room curiously*
Iemitsu: "There're in the backyard playing catch"
Nana: "Well I'll just call them back inside, it's really hot outside and it's-"
*Nana is cut off by the sound of loud crashes and the sound of Tsuna shouting. All the parents are startled and stare at the backyard door*
Yasuo and Megumi: "CHOUKO!"
Iemitsu: "TSUNA!"
*All the parents hurriedly rush to the backyard door*
The backyard is trashed- the flower beds were ripped apart, fresh laundry (well, laundry which was fresh) scattered and littered the backyard. Tsuna was on the floor holding onto the back of your shirt. Everyone stares at you and Tsuna bewildered- How on earth were you and Tsuna going to explain this to your parents…?
Your Inner Thoughts: Chouko-Chan is in big, BIG doo doo…
