Jaakuna Sawada, The Sundance Kid
When Jaakuna got
home last night, it was close to 1am. Jaakuna knew his mother and Aisha were asleep by then, so he didn’t really make too much noise when he got home. He didn’t really do much when he did reach his house. He went to his room and collapsed on his bed. He didn’t bother taking off his clothes or anything of the sort. He was so mentally and physically worn out that he just went to sleep.
The next morning, Jaakuna struggled to get up as he always did every morning, but especially after last night. He slowly reached over to his nightstand and reached for his
red cellphone. The first few tries he got nothing but the soft, yet firm wood of his nightstand. The forth try, he got a hold of it. He gripped it tightly and brought to the gaze of his green eyes. He turned it on and looked at the time. It read quarter to noon. Jaakuna moaned as he wanted to go back to sleep.
Just as he set it back on the table, Jaakuna heard his phone vibrate a few times. He shrugged it off for a minute. He wiped his eyes and decided to check it as it kept on vibrating. As he touched his phone to go to the messaging app, he saw he had one from Aoi. It was addressed to everyone. It was titled “Class Meeting”. Jaakuna found it odd since they don’t have class together, but if it was sent to everyone, then perhaps he should make an appearance.
“Oh fuck me,” Jaakuna said, slightly grumpy.
Jaakuna always was grumpy when he was forced to go somewhere before having anything to eat. That’s why he would at least get something to eat from mother before doing anything. And that’s what he did as he went downstairs and into the kitchen. There he saw his little sister Aisha and his mother, Chrome at the table.
“Jaakie!!” Aisha said cheerfully as she got down from the table and gave him a big hug.
Jaakuna smiled as he embraced his little sister in a light hug.
“Hey squirt.” His smile stayed.
“Jaakuna, sleep well?” Chrome said smiling as well.
“Yeah, for the most part.” Jaakuna took a seat at the table and saw a ham and cheese sandwich with salt and vinegar chips.
‘Oh, my favorite. You shouldn’t have.” Jaakuna picked up the sandwich and took a huge bite, all of the meet and cheese and bread going into his mouth. He let out a very content moan as he continued to gobble down his sandwich and chips.
His mother, Chrome, is a woman built modestly. She has long-flowing blonde hair and the same emerald-green eyes that Jaakuna has. Some say that he is the splitting image of his mother and even he got some of her personality traits(both good and bad). She was a retired nurse and medical-nin who was forced into her retirement due to injury.
“How was the party last night? ” Chrome asked as she took a bite of her turkey club.
Jaakuna stopped his eating for just a brief moment. He wanted to tell her, but not in front of Aisha. She was too young to hear such things and just like Hideyoshi, her happiness is everything to him.
“It was fun until it wasn’t. “ Jaakuna wasn’t lying, but he would not say anything more about it.
“Of course.” Chrome somehow knew that Jaakuna wasn’t giving her the whole story, but she wouldn’t push any further.
The next five or six minutes was restively silent. There were a few bits of chatter between the three of them, mostly coming from Aisha. Jaakuna kept a content expression all the way through. Once each of them had finished their respective meals, they each had put in the sink, and rinsed it off with warm water. Jaakuna was the last. When he finished, he grabbed his phone and looked at the time. It was about half-past noon. Jaakuna remembered that the text said to meet at quarter-till 1.
“Shit.” Jaakuna cursed quietly. Running past Chrome and Aisha, Jaakuna was heading for the door.
“Sorry, gotta meet some people. Be back later.” As fast as he said that, Jaakuna was out of the door, not even giving Aisha or Chrome a chance to even respond or notice he was gone until he actually was.
Jaakuna had rushed and rushed his ass to the meeting place. He knew he would be late, but he hoped that he would at least be able to make it before any of the real discussion got under way. He better hurry though cause based on the time, Jaakuna wouldn’t make it. Jaakuna was in downtown.
"Oh I know." Jaakuna got an idea. In the same moment, Jaakuna formed the Dragon, Tiger, and Dog hand seals in that specific order.
“Star Release,” Jaakuna said as his body began show signs of flashing golden-yellow star chakra,
“Meteor!” He said as he body became fully encased in his star chakra. At that very moment, Jaakuna took flight, flying at incredible speeds. At the rate Jaakuna was going, he would be able to get to the meeting place within half of a minute. It was good too cause that’s all he could do for the moment.
By the time thirty seconds had passed, Jaakuna flew way across Downtown until he spotted everyone gathered. He saw Daiki, Yamato, Takeshi -- pretty much everyone aside Paneru and Aoi. Just as Jaakuna was going to make his appearance known, he saw a blur of sorts. It was Paneru. Jaakuna almost lost control because he was so surprised to see Paneru come from the sky. He thought only the Sawadas did that. Luckily, he was caught by, of all people, Yamato.
Jaakuna cut off his Star Chakra as he was about five feet from the ground and did a front-flip as he landed on his feet. No doubt nobody saw it as he heard Aoi suddenly start talking. Most likely, in the midst of his shock, Aoi had arrived. Jaakuna took a seat next to Paneru.
When Aoi started talking, she began saying that she didn’t want to talk about the party. Instead she brought out a box of the pictures of all of them from their high school days. Jaakuna smiled at that, but before he could even have a chance to appreciate the gesture that Aoi was suggesting they all do, Daiki came in with a classic Daiki move. When Daiki began speaking about the murders from the party and how they were connected to Yamato, Jaakuna had no choice but to listen and that’s when he revealed that the murders were actions from the Yakuza’s Boss and Yamato’s father, Rejio Minamoru.
Jaakuna remember hearing some whispers about that not only from his father when he was still alive(long story), but Hideyoshi himself. There was even gossip when all of them were still in the academy and genin.
“That’s one hell of a theory, Daiki.” Jaakuna said aloud.
Daiki continued on, this time directing his words straight at Yamato. He pointed out that Yamato left the party and right around that same time, Shogo and the others were killed. Jaakuna had to admit that was a strange coincidence, but it was absurd.
“Daiki, now just hold on a minute.” Jaakuna said,
“You’re jumping the gun a bit, yeah? I mean, sure Yamato is a huge dick and everyone here has at least one legitimate reason to thrash him, but you really think he’s capable of killing someone?” Jaakuna didn’t want to believe that someone he was friends with(somewhat) would actually go and kill his fellow shinobi. He had pride and love for his village.
“Even if his father is a grade-A scumbag,” Jaakuna knows a few things about disappointing fathers,
“I don’t think Yamato is that kind of guy. "
