Chapter 28 Homesickness
Authors note: It seems that I'm very close to introducing Tia into my story. People on the Zatch Bell fan fiction site aren't updating as much as they used to, I think it's because summer is over. I myself have been updating less and less, then again people don't review as much as they used to either. This is my second time doing this chapter, so review. If it looks like I'm not explaining this chapter enough, yea I know.
Zatch and Zeno looked at the large women with a calm face.
"We lost our lunch in a fire" Zatch explained while looking down at the ground
"Children shouldn't play with fire" The women said
"We weren't playing with fire, we were saving people from the fire" Zeno grumbled still looking at the view of the town.
"You are a bad liar" the large women said, she then handed Zatch and Zeno two large rice balls.
"Their huge" Zatch responded and then started eating the huge rice ball
"Their grandma's secret recipe" the old women said. "If you eat those you won't be such a bad lair" the women teased, Zeno just ignored that comment and Zatch didn't hear her. "Here have some fish" The old women said. "It's grandma's special, here have some tea" The old women said, giving Zatch and Zeno some tea.
"Your food isn't half bad" Zeno half complimented
"All of your specials are delicious" Zatch complimented then finished his new lunch. "Ma'am you're a really nice person isn't there anything i can do to repay you" Zatch offered.
"Shh Zatch don't" Zeno whispered, Zatch didn't listen to him.
"I came to look for someone in this city" the old women explained
"That's perfect we'll help you find this person" Zatch said putting his hand up to his chest.
"Why did you… you know what never mind" Zeno grumbled, crossing his arms.
"Thank you" the old lady said
With that the twins and the old lady ran into town.
"What are your names boys" the old lady asked while running down the street; people where amazed by the huge women.
"My name is Zatch Bell, this is my brother Zeno Bell" Zatch introduced himself and his brother.
"My name is granny An-An" An-An introduced herself.
"So who are we looking for" Zeno asked not even glancing toward her.
"My son Tadashi is in this city… He's supposed to be marring this girl called Hiromi" An-An explained pulling out a letter.
"So you came here to see this Hiromi" Zatch asked
"She's the bride to my only son, even it's once I must see her" An-An said.
"Don't worry we will find Hiromi" Zatch said encouraging words.
The group then ran to the police station to only find out that they couldn't do anything.
The group then walked to a park with a bench to sit down on. Zeno sat their thinking, Zatch did the same looking down at the ground then he noticed An-An shoes.
"An-An your shoes are worn out… could it be that you walked all the way from the country side" Zatch asked looking at her shoes.
"It was only three mountain sides" An-An explained, this statement surprised Zatch and Zeno.
"You're tough for a human" Zeno complimented
"I would walk 10 mountain sides if I could only meet her once" An-An stated. "I want to find her without my son finding out about it" An-An said
Zatch and Zeno thought about it for a few moments
"I got an idea!" the twins said at the same time.
"Huh what's your idea?" Zatch asked looking at his brother.
"Let's see who can find her first" Zeno said with a grin, he then got up and ran behind a tree to hide the fact that he just teleported home.
"That's not fair" Zatch yelled while realizing Zeno's plan
"Where that boy go?" An-An asked
"Never mind that, do you know where Tadashi lives?" Zatch asked
An-An showed Zatch where Tadashi lived; they got in by An-An knocking down the door.
"Found it" Zatch said holding out a towel while smelling the towel for Hiromi scent.
"Boy can you recognize Hiromi's scent" An-An asked
"Unu this towel has a different scent from all the others, with this we can find her" Zatch explained
An-An got really happy from this statement and patted Zatch on the head. "Thank you Zatch" An- An said with a smile
Meanwhile Zeno was waiting for Dufort to give the location of Hiromi the one and only who was marring Tadashi.
"Hurry up and tell me her location" Zeno yelled at Dufort
Dufort was on the couch reading a book "why do you want to help find her" Dufort asked
"The same reason Zatch doing it" Zeno responded, Zeno was slightly blushing.
"That's a lie" Dufort said plainly. Dufort was pretty bored so he just wanted to mess around with Zeno for a bit.
"Does it matter, tell me Hiromi's location NOW" Zeno ordered, while trying to stare Dufort down.
"Tell me the truth then I will" Dufort replied, he then returned to his book.
Zeno stood there for a few moments in disbelief about Dufort's behavior. "You're just messing with me" Zeno growled
Dufort remained quite
This made Zeno even angrier "Fine" Zeno yelled
"I'm listening" Dufort said with a low voice
"She r…" Zeno said in a near whisper for Dufort couldn't hear him. "Now tell me where Hiromi is" Zeno demanded
"No" Dufort responded not intimidated by Zeno at all
Zeno thought about it for a few moments "she reminds me of my mom… I think Zatch feels the same" Zeno admitted, Zeno was now looking at the ground remembering the times he had when he was two years old and under.
"Hiromi is at a bus stop on Amherst street" Dufort explained the location, with that Zeno teleported out of the house.
Meanwhile Zatch was using his nose to find Hiromi, and they were talking about what kind of person Hiromi might be…
Zatch was sniffing the air walking around town for a bit. "An-An I found Hiromi" Zatch said with an excited voice, He then pointed at a girl that looked flashy and had dyed hair, Zatch also seen Zeno at the bus stop. (I can't tell if she's any good for Tadashi) Zatch thought to himself.
"Is your name Hiromi" Zeno was asking multiple women at the bus stop.
"Yes who are you?" Hiromi asked the silver haired boy
"I have a friend I would like you to meet" Zeno said in a polite manner, he then pointed to An-An that was down the sidewalk.
An-An ran down the street with Zatch following her in toe
"Are you Hiromi" An-An asked
"Yes" Hiromi responded
"You are marring Tadashi" An-An asked with a stern voice.
"Who are you?" Hiromi asked
"I am Tadashi's mother, I came here all this way to meet you, and to give you this" An-An said with a smile and gave Hiromi a huge diamond ring. "It's the ring I got when I got married, please accept it" An-An offered. "Please take care of my son" An-An requested
Hiromi just nodded her head up and down and was starting to cry.
Zatch stood there smiling
"Well our job here is done" Zeno said with a slight grin, he then looked at his brother. "Time to go home" Zeno said, his cloak started to wave gently in the air.
Zatch took one more look at the happy scene "alright" Zatch said, he then grabbed onto his brother's cloak.
Without anybody noticing Zatch and Zeno teleported home.
Authors note: Just for you reader know I won't be doing the chapter the worst kind of teacher, I'll save that for later. Next chapter will be when Tia gets introduced into the story.
