Summary: Naomi would never have expected for the party to turn up like this.
-----------------
Naomi sighed to herself, as she glanced towards the clock on the wall. Where's Mama?, she wondered. She sighed. What a downer, and Mama was the one who suggested the New Year party...
Naomi turned her head towards the other corner of the room, where her uncle, Tetsuko, Shin and Jetta were enjoying themselves, taking their turns with the karaoke machine. She checked on her wristwatch again. Aaah.... who'll end up paying for all this later, I wonder, she mused alone.Just as she thought about it, someone suddenly came barging into the room.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaii, sorry to make you wait!!"
Naomi immediately turned around to greet her mother. "Mama, what took you so long—"
Yumeno Keiko ignored her daughter as she suddenly realised she was missing something. And started walking out again, seemingly looking for something. Or someone. Naomi tried to get her mother to notice her again. "Mama? What're you doing?"
Her mother kept making a face at her before catching sight of what she's looking for. She immediately rushed towards the corner of the corridor outside of the room before Naomi could stop her. When her mother returned shortly after, Naomi was caught by surprise as her mother seemed to be dragging another person with her.
"Mama! What are you—?"
Her mother paused in her action, before turning around and grinning at her. "I expect that you won't be inviting so many people to the party, so I took the privile—" Keiko turned her attention towards the person she was dragging along as she scolded him, "—now, now... don't YOU be running off from me again. I told you that you're coming with me and you're NOT going to spend this night alone by yourself!"
When her mother finally managed to get the other person inside, Naomi could barely contain her surprise.
"Juggler-san!" she cried out. Without thinking, Naomi rushed forward to hug the man. Juggler's body tensed at the unexpected welcome.
"Na-Naomi-chan!"
Naomi hastily pulled away from Juggler before turning around. Her uncle, Shibukawa Ittetsu were looking at them warily as he pulled his gun out. Shin and Jetta also turned to stare at them fearfully as Tetsuko continued singing, totally unaware of the sudden tense situation behind her. Naomi hurriedly wrapped her arm around Juggler's. Unbeknownst to her, her mother also did the same on Juggler's other arm.
"What're you doing, Ittetsu-chan?" her mother suddenly spoke, releasing Juggler's arm and walking towards Ittetsu. "It's not polite to treat your guest like this," Keiko turned around towards her daughter, "What's his name again... Jagu? Jugglar?"
Naomi and Juggler nodded their heads towards her awkwardly as Keiko addressed her brother again. "On my way here, I saw this young man alone at a coffee shop. I couldn't stand leaving him by himself after seeing that. No one should be alone at a time like this, so I took him along. Now you don't treat my guest like some kind of a criminal—!"
Ittetsu stuttered. "B-b-but Nee-chan! T-that guy—!" Her uncle turned his head helplessly towards her as Naomi frantically shook her head at him.
'It's okay, Uncle! It'll be all right!' Naomi mouthed at her uncle as Ittetsu put away his gun. Keiko immediately hurried over to her brother before Ittetsu could even try to approach Juggler again.
Naomi heard a loud sigh as she turned to look at Juggler. The man was staring that her arms holding his right arm tightly as Naomi hastily let go.
"Err... so you're alive!" Naomi started to say as Juggler nodded.
"Of course. It'll be another hundred years before Gai could even try to kill me. As if I could let him have the chance."
Naomi let out a small chuckle before turning to look at her mother. She shrugged. "Sorry about Mama. She tends to do things without thinking, most of the times..."
Juggler sighed again. "Yeah... well, it's not like I don't already know about that—"
Naomi smiled. Even in the dim lights, she could tell that Juggler wasn't really displeased to be forced to come here. In fact, he doesn't seem to be any different than any normal—Suddenly, the door to the karaoke room opened again as another familiar man walked in. Almost right away, Juggler ran towards the other corner of the room.
"Gai-san!" Naomi called out as Gai walked straight towards Keiko and Ittetsu.
"Juggler!" Gai exclaimed, as said person was now hiding behind Naomi's mother. "What're you doing? Shibukawa-san, did Juggler caused any trouble here?"
Ittetsu was about to say something before Juggler walked up towards him, looking very annoyed.
"What did you mean I caused any trouble? Why do you always assume that I'll be up to something bad?"
"Because you always do—"
"Unfortunately for you, this time you're wrong!"
Naomi placed a hand on Gai's arm. "He's right, Gai-san. This time, it's Mama who—"
"But Naomi, I can't guarantee you in case anything else happened. It'll be better if I—"
"I refuse!" Gai turned his face towards Juggler as the man pursed his lips. "Rather than me having to hang around with you on the assumption that you're babysitting me out of trouble for some kind of reason, I preferred to stay with Mama here, ne?" chirped Juggler as he cocked his head affectionately towards Keiko.
Keiko grinned before petting Juggler's head fondly, with Ittetsu barely showing his disapproval at them. "I know that you'd finally turn around for me. Told you it'd be good for you to socialise with people once a while..." she turned towards Gai. "And now you, don't be a spoilsport... Gai-kun. It's still too early to leave the party and the countdown hasn't started yet. Now Jag-kun, you must already be hungry... I dragged you so suddenly earlier you've barely eaten, come!"
Gai just stared dumbly towards the two, as Keiko led Juggler towards the food table. Turning towards Naomi, he noticed that she too was taken aback by what she just saw. Shaking his head, Gai could only look back towards Juggler... who now seemed to be very at home with Keiko.
"M-Mama?" he stuttered, still couldn't believe that Juggler just called Naomi's mother as 'Mama'.
