Life in Namimori: Chapter 3: The Past (Part 3: Still 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.

~ Sawada Household – Backyard – Earlier that day ~

You: "Tsuna-Chan! I hope you're ready because Chouko-Chan is quite the ball thrower!"

*You throw the ball in Tsuna's direction, somehow Tsuna tries to catch the ball and the ball somehow manages to hit Tsuna in the face*

Tsuna: "Ouch!" *Tsuna falls back and hits the ground*

You: "Tsuna-Chan! Are you okay?" *you run towards your cousin worried*

Tsuna: "My…nose…hurts…" *Tsuna starts crying*

You: "Tsuna-Chan, Chouko-Chan is sorry, so don't cry" *you gently kiss Tsuna on the forehead* "Pain, pain, go away"

*Tsuna instantly stops crying and backs away from you*

Tsuna: "C-Chouko-Chan, w-what do you think your d-doing" *Tsuna goes completely red all the way to his ears*

You: "Hm? Chouko-Chan was getting rid of the pain; Mama and Papa do that to Chouko-Chan whenever Chouko-Chan hurts herself and it always makes Chouko-Chan feel 100% better, so Chouko-Chan thought it might work if she does the same to Tsuna-Chan"

*You smile at Tsuna reassuringly*

Tsuna: "Really, now that you mention it my nose doesn't hurt anymore..." *Tsuna says this while he rubs his nose*

You: "See~ Chouko-Chan is always right~!" *You smile triumphantly at Tsuna* "Let's play a different game Chouko-Chan will go and get the ball again"

*You turn around to get the ball, when you suddenly spot a small and cute dog coming closer towards the ball as well*

You: "Ahh! That dog is trying to take our ball!" *You begin to approach the ball and dog* "Shoo, shoo little doggie, Chouko-Chan hates dogs who steal balls!"

*The dog notices you and jumps in front of the ball*

Dog: "Woof! Woof! Grrrrrr!

You: "Grrrr! Get away from the ball, grrrr! You don't want to mess with Chouko-Chan…Grrr!" *both you and the dog start to stare at one another, waiting and watching to see who will make the first move*

Dog: "Woof~!"

*The dog bares his teeth at you menacingly and lashes out at you*

Dog: "Grrrrrr~!"

*You effortlessly kick the dog and the dog goes flying, the dog instantly gets up*

You: "Wow, you're a tough one…do you want Chouko-Chan to challenge you, let's fight to see who's stronger?" *You feel someone pulling on the sleeve of your T-Shirt* "Hmm? Tsuna-Chan, what is it?"

*Tsuna is shaking with fright*

You: "Tsuna, are you okay?" *You kneel down worryingly looking at Tsuna*

Tsuna: "Chouko-Chan! You shouldn't be fighting… that dog is really tough and mean, and it chased me around the neighbourhood the other day, trying to bite me… it was really scary"

You: "What, that small dog?!" *You turn towards the dog* "So you think its okay to pick on Chouko-Chan's cute cousin?! That's it, this…is…personal"

*A dark aura begins to come out of your body- you now knew how your mother did it. The dog begins to cower and sweat as it tries to slyly run away*

Tsuna: "C-Chouko-Chan?" *Tsuna looks at you slightly stunned*

You: "Tsuna-Chan stand back, Chouko-Chan has to deal with this stupid dog"

*You take one step forward, the dog takes one back, you take another step forward and that's all it can take- the dog has had enough and starts to run away from you -scared out of it's mind- around the backyard*

You: "Wait, you stupid dog!" *You chase after the dog*

Tsuna: "C-Chouko-Chan, w-wait don't go that way, Mum's flower beds are there! C-Chouko-Chan!" *Tsuna runs after you and the dog*

*You chase the dog around the quaint backyard. The small dog runs at full speed all around the backyard, pulling up grass and throwing dirt everywhere, before finally running through Nana's flowerbeds- destroying most of the stunning summer plants which grew there*

Tsuna: "Hiiiii! Mum's flower beds!" *Tsuna stops and stares at the site of crushed flowers*

You: "You stupid dog! Wait!"

*You jump and aim a kick at the dog, the dog dodges skilfully and you go crash bang into the laundry line, scattering the fresh laundry around the backyard*

*CRASH!!!*

You: "Ouch!" *You get up and see the dog waving his butt mockingly right at you. You lose your temper* "You…stupid…dog! Take this!"

*You pick up a bra lying on the floor, aim and shoot it skilfully at the dog*

Dog: "Owoooo~!" *The dog howls and collapses from the strike and faints*

Tsuna: "C-Chouko-Chan, are you okay?"

You: "Yeah, but…"*you poke the dog with a nearby twig* "Oi" *you continue poking* "Stupid dog? Are you alive?" *you get bored of poking the dog*

Tsuna: "Is that dog…*gulps nervously* alive?"

You: "Yeah… *whispers* unfortunately"

Tsuna: "Chouko-Chan did you say something?"

You: "What? Me? No…well that stupid dog lost so that means…Chouko-Chan wins! BANZAI!" *You jump up and down happily*

*Tsuna sweat drops as he turns to stare at the flowerbeds panicked and worried*

Tsuna: "Haaaa! Mum's flower bed… if mum sees this…what do we do now Chouko-Chan?"

*You turn around to face Tsuna, facing your back towards the dog*

You: "Silly Tsuna-Chan, its simple, Chouko-Chan and Tsuna-Chan will just have to tell auntie that this stupid dog did it" *you point at the dog*

Tsuna: *Tsuna looks in the direction of your finger and goes pale* "What dog?"

You: "This dog here" *you look down to find that the dog is gone, you sweat drop. You and Tsuna exchange worried looks* "Tsuna-Chan, Chouko-Chan was never here" *you start to walk away and Tsuna quickly grabs onto the back of your shirt as he panics about the flower bed and laundry*

Tsuna: "Uwahaaaa! Chouko-Chan, you can't leave, help me out with this mess!"

Nana: "Tsu-kun?! Oh my! My flower beds! What have you been doing out here?!" *Nana places one hand in front of her mouth, shocked and confused*

Tsuna: "Hiiii! Mum! Ummm…"

*Iemitsu, Megumi and Yasuo come out of the living into the backyard as well*

Iemitsu: "What happened out here?"

Yasuo: *Looks around* "Tsuna-Chan, Chouko-Chan, what happened?"

Tsuna: "Ummm… well…you see" *Tsuna starts to look around, avoiding his and your parents' eyes*

*A dark aura starts to come from Megumi as she looks at you*

You: "C-Chouko-Chan didn't do anything wrong! C-Chouko-Chan was a good girl!"

*You begin to run away, but it's too late, Megumi grabs you by the shirt*

Megumi: "Mama didn't say you did anything but I'll take that as a confession"

You: "M-Mama it wasn't Chouko-Chan fault honestly! It was-!"

Megumi: "Chouko-Chan! No excuses!" *She pulls on your cheeks*

You: "Bwah eit mwahn't may fwat!" *Your actually trying to say 'but it wasn't my fault'*

Tsuna: "Auntie, C-Chouko-Chan is telling the truth"

*All the parents divert their attention on Tsuna*

Tsuna: "Umm… a dog tried to take our ball a-and Chouko-Chan stopped the dog, then it started running through mum's flower beds and Chouko-Chan tried to stop it and accidently crashed into the laundry line and then the dog run off… so, Auntie please don't get angry at Chouko-Chan cause she didn't do anything wrong"

*Everyone looks at Tsuna and then at you, you use this opportunity to get free of Megumi's grasp*

You: "See Chouko-Chan didn't do anything wrong!" *you smile triumphantly* "And yet Mama was hurting Chouko-Chan"

Megumi: "Oh, Chouko-Chan, Mama's sorry for not believing you"

*your mum hugs you tightly, slightly choking you*

You: "Mama…Chouko-Chan…can't…breathe…your…breasts…are…crashing…Chouko-Chan…let…go"

Megumi: "Mama doesn't want to~!" *She squeezes you tighter, crushing you with her big breasts*

Iemitsu: "Well, at least everyone's okay and well"

You: "Chouko-Chan…is…not…okay..." *you say this while trying to break free of your mama's grasp* "Kapoo~"

Yasuo: "For some reason I feel this is going to be a long summer…" *Yasuo sighs*

Nana: "Well I hope you all enjoy staying with us for the summer vacation…" *Nana says as she starts to clean up the backyard*

Tsuna: "Hiiiii! T-their staying here for the rest of summer vacation?!" *Tsuna exclaims*

You: "Tsuna-Chan didn't know?" *You look at Tsuna puzzled *

Tsuna: "I just found out now!" *Tsuna looks slightly

Iemitsu: "Me and your mother wanted to surprise you, Tsuna" *Iemitsu smiles cheekily at Tsuna*

*Tsuna starts to panic (babbling and murmuring something about peace being broken)*


*The next summer days (and nights) are spent enjoying the summer vacation with your family; mostly with Tsuna*

~ You and Tsuna at Namimori beach~

You: "Tsuna-Chan! Look! Look! The sea!" *You pick up a hermit crab and chase Tsuna*

Tsuna: "Uwah! Haaa! Chouko-Chan s-stay away, it's so gross!"

*You spend most of your time chasing Tsuna around the beach with the hermit crab in your hand*

~You and Tsuna at the Namimori summer festival, watching the fireworks~

You: "So Pretty!"

Tsuna: "Why do I have to be here? It's so noisy!"

You: "Tsuna-Chan, don't be like that…Ahhh~ Look!" *A firework explodes releasing a ray of pretty sparks*

Tsuna: "Uwah~!"

~ You and Tsuna at the water park ~

*You drag Tsuna to a water ride*

Tsuna: "Uwah! I don't want to go on such a scary ride! No~!" *Tsuna starts crying*

You: "Tsuna come on, Chouko-Chan guarantees you'll enjoy this ride- 100%- no! 200%"

*You manage to get Tsuna on the ride; you board a boat and Tsuna starts to panic and tries to get out of the boat as it tips over the edge…too late. You and Tsuna are pushed down the huge water slide*

You: "YAY~!"

Tsuna: "Uwah! Haa! Let me off! Uwah!"

*Tsuna spent the rest of the day in first aid- in shock saying something about boats and water slides…*

~ You and Tsuna at the Namimori food festival ~

*You and Tsuna enter a ramen eating competition at the Namimori food festival*

Tsuna: "I…can't….go…on…any…longer…." *Tsuna faints*

You: "Ahh! Tsuna-Chan! Don't worries Chouko-Chan will win for you!"

*You scuff down 68 bowls of ramen effortlessly*

Announcer: "WINNER! NAKAMURA CHOUKO! WITH A NEW RECORD OF EATING 68 BOWLS OF RAMEN, YOU WIN THE GRAND PRIZE…1'000'000 YEN AND THIS TROPHY!" *The announcer hands the trophy to you with the prize money*

*The crowd applauds as numerous photographers take pictures of you*

You: "Tsuna-Chan let's go and buy some more ramen, Chouko-Chan is still feeling very hungry, the ramen simply wasn't enough!"

*Your belly rumbles as you smile sweetly at Tsuna*

Tsuna: "I don't want to see another bowl of ramen again…" *Tsuna faints*


*The autumn breeze is starting to settle in Japan, the stunning colours of summer change to the beautiful colours of autumn. Your summer (sadly) comes to an end and you are forced to leave to go back to your own hometown*

Megumi: "Nana-Chan, it was lovely spending time with you again and also meeting your family, it was the most fun I've had in a while"

Nana: "It certainly was fun- all that cooking and spending time together- it was so much fun!"

*Both women exchange smiles*

Iemitsu: "Your daughter is certainly an energetic one; she'll grow up to be a beauty"

Yasuo: "Thank you for having us during the summer vacation, it was a very enjoyable time. I hope your son grows up strong" *your father bows humbly*

Iemitsu: "Now, now there's no need to be so humble… and of course he will- he is my son after all! Today was fun; I look forward to seeing you again"

You: "Tsuna-Chan… Chouko-Chan will…Chouko-Chan will… definitely…definitely come and see you again!" *you start crying as you hug your cousin*

Tsuna: "C-Chouko-Chan! Calm down, you're getting snot on my T-shirt, Chouko-Chan!"

*You hug Tsuna affectionately, holding onto him as you cry continuously*

You: "Tsuna-Chan, n-never forget Chouko-Chan! Y-You'll see, I'll come back as soon as I finish the rest of my Tai Chi training!" *You sniff and wipe your eyes*

Tsuna: "T-tai Chi?" *Tsuna says questionably*

Yasuo: "Oh, Tsuna-Chan doesn't know does he?"

Iemitsu: "Oh, I forget to tell him!" *Iemitsu puts a hand behind his head* "My bad"

*Everyone sweats drops*

Yasuo: "I am training Chouko-Chan tai chi, it custom in my family to pass down your knowledge to the next generation, so the martial art can survive"

Tsuna: "Eh? So Chouko-Chan won't be back until she's finished" *Tsuna manages to get you off of him slightly*

You: *still crying* "T-that's right! But Chouko-Chan can't c-come back until she's finished! So, Tsuna-Chan wait for Chouko-Chan, she'll come back as soon as possible!" *You hold on tighter to Tsuna*

Megumi: "Let go of Tsuna-Chan already" *She pulls at your shirt*

You: "NOOOOOO~! At least let me make a promise with Tsuna-Chan!" *you say as your mother tries to pull you off of Tsuna*

Tsuna: "Promise?"

*You poke your pinkie finger out*

You: "Chouko-Chan will definitely be back for you as soon as I finish my training! Pinkie swears" *You urge for Tsuna to grasp onto your pinkie finger*

*Tsuna looks at your finger before finally taking it*

Tsuna: "P-Pinkie swears" *Tsuna goes slightly red*

*You smile at Tsuna and Tsuna smiles back at you. All the parents look at you and Tsuna affectionately*

Megumi: "Is that the time already?! Papa, Chouko-Chan we need to leave now otherwise we'll miss the last train!"

*You and your family finally leave the Sawada household, Nana and Iemitsu waving at you and your parents. You wave back and Tsuna simply smiles and waves shyly as you leave*

~ You and your family in a taxi heading to Namimori train station ~

You: "Chouko-Chan had lots of fun! Chouko-Chan can't wait till she goes back again!"

Yasuo: "Well all you need to do is train hard then you can come back as soon as possible"

You: "I definitely plan on coming back! I have a promise with Tsuna-Chan"

*You smile as you stare outside the window staring up at the blue, blue sky; you were definitely coming back…*

You: *Thoughts* I'll definitely will come back, Tsuna-Chan! I'll come back stronger and more beautiful… you just wait and see…Tsuna-Chan!


Tsuna: "Achoo!"

Nana: "Oh my Tsuna-Chan are you getting a cold" *Nana looks at Tsuna slightly worried*

Tsuna: "Eh? I h-hope not…" *sniff sniff*
