Generation One
Chapter Four - "Close Neighbours Make for Tense Relations"
Part Two
Two Days After
It was about two days after Hank had dropped by that Yasunobu came back with something special for Haruo. It was a trained Rottweiler, named Franz, who adored his new masters, Yasunobu and Haruo and had a special soft spot for River, Torao and Bebe, which he thought was for the best since he wanted Franz to do whatever he could to help Haruo cope with what he had to go through. And a dog was what one could call a service animal, especially for those tough times ahead where emotionally, Haruo was at a stage where his emotions could be a roller-coaster, combined with the hormones of teenage years. On top of that impulsiveness was a teenage trait as teens were always going off on their emotions.

Franz took to being Haruo’s service-animal like a fish to water...and enjoyed the company of River as well. And Yasunobu was happy and more than happy to defend his decision to bring home Franz to Mayumi’s tantrums.

“Yasubo...Nanishini sona inu motehaitekuru ka?” Mayumi blustered, “Ano inu wa kikendayo...”

“Inu wa kunren sa rete iru, Mayumi. Kare wa kyōi to wa omowanai mono o kamu koto wa aranai...”

Mayumi was so flustered she burst into English that she knew Yasunobu wasn’t as well versed in having emigrated as an adult from Japan. “What do you mean he’s trained and he won’t bite anything that he doesn’t consider a threat? That dog is a dangerous animal. What if he bites River or Bebe?” Like she actually cared about that happening but at least it was something to make it seem as though she was concerned about what happened to the others around the house. Because in actual truth, she couldn’t care less if something happened to anyone else in the house.

Yasunobu saw right through that and snapped, “Ryūsei ni tatakareta koto deshita, Anata wa nani mo iwanaideshou, Uso ni boku o nayama senaide, bokutachi wa anata ga amari mo yoku sh-itteru! (If we were all hit by a meteor (except you); you’d have nothing to say about it.)” (Don’t bother lying to me; I know you too well!)"

Mayumi threw up her hands in a huff, tramping upstairs in a fit of pique that resembled a toddler’s tantrum. Yasunobu shrugged his shoulders. Hell would freeze over before he let Mayumi get rid of Haruo’s new dog.

Bebe was still over there after using the Chikamori’s dining room table to do her homework and then read a logic book. She grinned when she saw River and Haruo come in from the wet outdoors and smirked knowingly at Haruo who headed over to the kitchen table to sit down and do the last of his homework that he still hadn’t gotten done after a Work Experience foray at Doo Peas Office Tower which had netted him about §140.00 in cash. Of course, he’d headed straight over to the school as he knew that River was still there. She’d told him that she’d be doing her homework there and then heading over to the park to go fish for an assignment that made her take the resultant catch to the Science Center on the other side of town so that she could get some science experience. “So, girlie...what’s the dealio?” Bebe grinned, “You’re comin’ home drenched like a drowned rat and you’ve got a smile on your face. What’d you catch.”

“A rainbow trout.” River smirked back at her other friend. “It was about this big...”

“Oh, really?” Bebe said. “That sounds like a fish-story...” she grinned at River.

“Really, it was that big...”
“Uh...huh?” Bebe smirked at her with a sidelong glance at Haruo. “really...?”

River narrowed her eyes at her friend. “Oh, knock off.”

“I gotta go take a shower, girlie and hit the hay...” Bebe said grinning at her unrepentantly, giving River a big hug...and then heading out the back door to her own third of the triplex.

Yasunobu went to the wood stove to soothe his frayed nerves and his anger and set to making a Lasagna Supreme so that he and his son could have something fresh to eat. However he noticed that River was industriously mopping up the large puddle of water that had been left on the floor and correctly assumed by the growl that emitted from her stomach, to River’s embarrassment, that she was famished, “River...you stay...eat dinner here...then you go home and sleep, neh?” he said placing down a plate of lasagna in front of her with utensils and River dug in happily, enjoying the fact that she was in the company of people who cared about her a lot other than her mother.

“I will, thank you, Mr. Chikamori.” River replied, thankful that she wouldn’t have to leave Haruo to Mayumi’s tender mercies, just yet.
