You fidget in your seat as you keep your gaze low. This is awkward.
You look up to see the stern man in front of you.
Fugaku is sitting while facing the view outside the car. His arms are crossed on top of his chest and he's wearing a serious expression. Well, it's his usual expression anyway.
Right now, both of you are on your way to Kirigakure, or in other words, your house. It has been so long since you've gone home, so it's absolutely nerve-wracking.
Plus, you're alone with Fugaku Uchiha, and that makes things worse for you. It's awkward as hell!
Sasuke wanted to come along with you, but was stopped by Madara. He said Sasuke needs to prepare for his entrance ceremony into Hashirama Institute. Of course, Sasuke was reluctant and intended to come along, but a few words from Fugaku caused him to obey.
Meanwhile, Madara wanted to go to Ame. He got information that Obito is staying there with his wife, so he wanted to search for him. The leader wanted to go and apologise to his son, and later bring him with his wife back into the clan again. He regretted what he did, so he's trying to atone in his own way.
With Fugaku and Madara gone, Itachi is automatically responsible with duties regarding work. He needs to cover for Fugaku for a few days since Fugaku is heading to Kirigakure now with you. And as usual, Itachi would accept the responsibility with a smile on his face.
There, like that, you are left alone with Fugaku.
Truth be told, he is just as scary as Madara. They are father and son, so it's understandable, but in this situation, the awkwardness is too huge that you don't know what to do.
The ride is very quiet. None of you dare to mutter any word. Plus, there's no topic to talk about.
Before you realize it, the long ride is over. You have been on the car with Fugaku for almost four hours, but didn't speak a word.
That's a record.
The car stops right in front of your house's gate, the height is almost 3 meters. You get out of the car and press on the bell.
"Yes, who's there?"
The voice of the person behind the speaker makes you feel nostalgic. There's no doubt about it. It's the voice of your head butler.
"Sorry? Who's there?"
He asks again, as the first question is not answered.
You bit your lips, trying to hold in the tears.
"Choujurou-san... it's me..."
The man called Choujurou remains silent without any response.
You can't see his face right now, but from the situation, it's like he's surprised at your introduction.
"Young lady?!"
His question brings a smile onto your lips.
So he still remembers you... How delightful...
"Young lady, is that you?!"
"Yes, choujuurou-san. It's me. I'm back now. Can you let me in?"
"Of course, young lady! Please, come in!"
And then the gate slowly open until it is wide enough for the car to enter.
You get back into the car, and the driver strides into your house compound with moderate speed.
Soon after, the image of your previous 'home' comes into your sight.
It's there, still unchanged even after two years have passed. The white mansion which was the place where you grew and also the place where you kept all the memories with your family, still remain as it is before you left.
