DAY1
When Sanada woke up that fateful morning the house was really noisy. He could hear people yelling and some children crying. At first he thought it was only a nightmare. A horrible nightmare. Said dream happened to be the truth as someone entered his room without knocking.
"Genichirou you should have been up for hours!"
Sanada wiped his sleepy eyes to see his father staring at him.
"I apologize father. I have forgotten about your travel. I will be down in a few minutes."
His father grunted and left the room without closing the door.
Sanada was with his family ten minutes later. It was difficult to sit down as the whole living room was in a mess. There were suitcases everywhere as well as toys and food. His brother and his wife were sitting in one of the rare armchair still free from food and toys while his parents were standing in the middle of the room. The twins were playing with their little cars on the floor. They stopped everything they were doing when they saw their dear uncle entering the leaving room.
They stood up, threw the cars away and hugged his legs. Poor Sanada was about to fall flat on his face when his elder brother called his children.
"Kuan Ti, Kagami stop bothering uncle Genichirou! Go back to your toys and take some of them upstairs in your room. I have to talk with my brother and you don't need to hear what I have to say."
The children went away.
"So Genichirou thanks a lot for taking care of them. We don't what we would have done without you. Mother told us you were going to ask Ryuzaki-san to come and help you. That is a good idea. But bro, don't take advantage of the situation to turn me into an uncle. You are still too young to be father."
Sanada blushed.
"Mother did not tell you the truth. I did not say that I would ask Ryuzaki-san for help. I said that I would think about it. Do not worry I am not that reckless. You will have to wait to become an uncle."
They explained him everything, gave him plenty of papers with explanations. It lasted several minutes and then the children came back and the adults left. Sanada was now alone with the twins. They were playing so he decided to clean the living room and then to have breakfast.
He was in the kitchen eating some scrambled eggs with a cup of coffee when he heard his niece scream. He put his fork down and rushed in the living room. She was screaming because her doll had been beheaded. Her brother was running around the sofa with a tanto. The tanto he took out the dojo because he needed to sharpen its blade.
He grabbed the little boy and glared at him. He didn't say a single word. He just took him in the kitchen and him sit on a chair while he finished eating his breakfast. Then he took the little boy with him in the dojo. He handed him a floor cloth to clean the wooden floor and the tatami.
While Kuan Ti was mopping the floor Sanada decided to try and fix his niece's doll. Unfortunately neither niece nor doll were in the living room. He looked for them in the whole house only to find them in the garden. Little Kagami was digging a hole next to the pond. He recognized his mother's gardening kit next to the little girl.
He knelt next to her.
"What are you doing Kagami?"
"I'm burying Nami-chan. She is dead just like Grandma."
"But it is a doll. I can glue her head back."
"No you can't do it. I am going to bury it and you will buy me a new one."
Sanada wanted to refuse but he wasn't ready to face a crying little girl.
"Well, when you are over with come to the dojo. We will go and buy you a brand new doll and maybe we will go to the cinema."
Two hours later they left. It had been easy to please them with a fast food restaurant and its fatty food. Then the nearest toy shop became the theater of a little drama. Kuan Ti knew that they were here to buy a doll because he broke his sister's. But as soon as he saw the plastic katanas he began to make a fuss because he wanted one. Sanada had to gather all his strength not to shake the holy daylight out of his nephew. Then the girl started. She wanted one of the most expensive dolls. The one that could talk and that was as tall as her. He tried to make her understand that a more normal doll was just as good and that Nami-chan wasn't like that doll but she didn't want to listen and began to cry, yelling at the top of a little lung that her uncle was a nasty man who beat her up when nobody was looking.
In the end he had no other choice than to buy the doll. After that they went to the cinema. Oh Sanada didn't want to go but he promised and he wasn't one to break the promises he made, especially when it came to his family. They ended up watching Ever After, the new Walt Disney movie. It had been the only peaceful part of his day.
In the evening they refused to eat their vegetables' croquettes and their fried fish. So Sanada sent them to bed with nothing else to eat.
It was 10.00 pm when they were asleep. Sanada sighed. He had now a little bit of time for himself. Some relaxation did some good to him. After all the day hadn't been that bad but he hoped that tomorrow would be better. If only he had known what Kuan Ti had in mind he would have sent them to China no matter what his parents would have said…
A/N:Poor Sanada. The fuss in the shops and all that little stuff are the reasons why I'm not fond of kids. I know that they are not the only one to be blamed. Their parents are stupid. Had done what the twins did in this chapter my parents wouldn't have been nice. A good slap would have been my present for being stupid…
