Part Two - Chapter Six
The call was over. Yu explained to his uncle the conversation he had with his mother. There was no need to talk about everything his mother said and just gave him the short notes version.
"She doesn't respect my decision, but since I am an adult, there is nothing that she can legally do," Yu continued after taking a breather for what he was about to say next. "And that I shouldn't expect them to be so kind when I come "crawling back"."
"That doesn't sound like my sister, but as I've stated before when she's angry, she's angry. She'll calm down eventually. Then I would suggest you call her again," said Dojima with a simple shrug. "What do you plan on doing next?"
"Well I guess if I plan on settling down here, finding a place to live will be one thing." Yu got up from the table for a moment to move. Approaching Dojima's side, he got down on his knees. Before Dojima could say something, Yu bowed. Hands on the floor. Head also. "Please allow me to stay here once more, Sir." His uncle really wasn't expecting his nephew to be this serious about it. "Uh there is no need to be that formal, remember we're family." When Dojima stood up, Yu rose his head. Thinking that maybe he had gone a little overboard as well. When he looked there was his uncle with his hand extended. "And family will always be there to help one another."
Yu took his hand and gave it a small shake. "Even if we weren't, after all you've done for Nanako and me, I owe you it." Striking Yu in the heart, he pulled his uncle in for a hug. After they had their little moment, Dojima took Yu upstairs. "Everything is basically where you left it." It was. When the door opened it was revealed. The TV on the dresser, the sofa, the work table, and futon. Stepping in Yu took in the familiar scent of the room.
It had been so long, but the smell was still the same. The smell of home that had been absent in his life for so long. The memories the room held and the ideas of what the future held. Yu enjoyed the moment before it was interrupted however. Dojima asked, "Now what's next?"
"Work, but that shouldn't really be an issue. Going to have to talk to some people."
"Okay. When do you plan on getting around to that?"
"As soon as I can, I believe."
"Well according to what you told me, you came in last night and only Satonaka seems to know you are here. Maybe you should also tell your friends that you're back?"
"Mind if I take this one day to so?"
"I don't mind, so long as you don't put off what you have to do."
Yu smiled like a madman, but not as creepy as true madmen he had met in the past. The feeling he had could be described as a little boy on Christmas morning. Yu almost sprinted out of the room, with a quick "thank you" he made his way to grab Chie. With a quick goodbye to Nanako, he grabbed Chie out of Nanako's room and bolted out the door of the house. The confused Nanako went across the hall to see her dad standing with a smile."Is Big Bro going to be staying here again?" The child smiled and jumped in happiness as Dojima just gave a quick nod.
