Summary: What could be better than waking up in Venice Italy? Nothing really! Especially when everything is completely free! That being said Rinne can offically have the time of his life for once!
It was five minutes till the end of the day. Everyone was chatting away or looking intently at the clock as if they controlled time. When the bell rang everyone tried to spring up out of their seets to leave for the weekend, but unfortunetly their teacher stopped them.

"Can't we go home already?!" Tsubasa Jumonji cried out. He had sensed a ghost right outside of the school and whether it was an evil spirit or not he was determind to exorcise it.

Without a word the teacher took a stack of papers, devided them into to five stacks and placed them on the front row students desks.

"Take one and pass them to the student behind you, please."

Thinking it was a quiz or weekend homework they all groaned. But seeing that it was a permission slip to Venice Italy for a week their faces lit up and they all shouted. Well all except Rinne, his face didn't change. He unzipped his bag and stuffed the paper inside.

"Rokudo-kun," Sakura Mamiya said making him look at her, "Are you going to get your grandmother to sign for you to go? It would be alot of fun if you went!"

'Fun if I went? Maybe she doesn't think of me as boring! Ha! Take that Jumonji!' he thought.

"Sakura Mamiya, as much as I would love to go... Venice is much too much to afford." he sighed. Truthfully he wanted to go, to spend time with Sakura Mamiya no less. But poor fortuneless Rinne could not afford such a treasure.

"What are you talking about, its free!" she exclaimed holding up her own permission slip and pointing directly to the statement saying The school will cover all expenses.

His red eyes lit up like a cars head lights and he snatched the form out of his bag and held it tightly to his chest, "Expect me there!"

That was when Tsubasa walked over, "Mamiya-san will you sit with me on the bus?"

She shrugged, "Well its three to a seat so sure." She turned to Rinne, "How 'bout it Rokudo-kun, will you sit with me and Tsubasa-kun?"

"Sure."

Five minutes later Rinne and Sakura were in the club building in which Rinne lived. Rokumon was begging Rinne to let him go, saying that in his kitten form he could perfectly fit in Rinne's small bag. Sakura was sitting on the floor smiling as Rokudo-kun argued with him. This is where she felt she belonged, she felt happy with these two people in her lives. yet for some reason she felt embarassed to tell a certain one of the boys this.

"Uh, Rokudo-kun," she eventually said holding up a hand, "If you're going to go on the trip we need to get you father or grandmother to sign the form."

He scowled at the thought of going to see his dead-beat if a father and mentally decided on his granny. He grabbed Sakura Mamiya by the hand and put on his haori of the underworld. Sakura Mamiya didn't have to question him, she knew him oh so well to know where he was going. And so the little demon kitty known as Rokumon-chan jump on Sakura-sama's shoulder and off they went to the underworld.

Once at Rinne's grandmother's place he let go of Sakura's hand. Rokumon jumped into her arms and she sat down to watch the talk between grandson and grandmother. Rinne Rokudo decided to stand as he talked to his grandmother. He pulled out the permission slip from his pocket and said,

"Granny," she paused for a moment before putting down her tea cup and standing.

She placed her fists on his temples and began to rub them harshly, "I told you not to call me that!" she scolded as she continued rubbing.

"Ow ow ow ow!" he yelled until he stopped. He eventually recovered and tried again, "Will you please sign this form so I will be allowed to go to Italy with Sakura Mamiya and my classmates?" He asked holding the paper up to her eyes.

She looked it over and took it from his hand. She grabbed a pen and signed, "Now you be good Rinne!" she said gently rubbing his hair as she handed it to him.

Remembering Sakura was still there he lightly blushed and pushed her hand away saying, "Granny!"

"I told you not to call me that!"

-----After more head rubbing-----

They walked out of his grandmother's house. Rinne rubbing his temples and muttering under his breath. Rokumon was giggling, Sakura? She knew how he felt and couldn't find it in her to laugh, though to her it was quite...cute how Rokudo-kun was treated like such a little boy around his grandmother. And she hadn't dare miss his blush. She felt he looked quite hansom when he showed his emotions. She wished she could make him blush, or maybe, possibly even smile.

"Sakura Mamiya." Rinne said stopping, "I'm sorry for bringing you to the underworld again," his face looked slightly pained and full of regret, "It must be terrible for you to come to a place like this." he said clenching his fist.

"N-no!" she protested putting a hand on his shoulder, "I enjoy coming here with you...and Rokumon!" she gave the kitten a pat on the head and he snuggled into her chest.

He almost smiled when she said that, but then she added Rokumon too. Maybe she really couldn't be happy with just him. He shook his head out of his thoughts, she was calling for him again,

"Yes Sakura Mamiya?" he questioned.

"Um, not to be rude but can we get going I need to go home and pack." she told him.

"Sure, would you like for me to help you...uh, get home I mean..." he said almosting blushing again. Did he honestly think she would let him of all people touch her clothes and place them in a suitcase?

"Sure," she said taking his hand. Rokumon had fallen asleep, "Oh, and yes you can also help me pack if you'd like."

Rinne couldn't hold it in any more he turned his head away and blushed furiously. When he got cooled down he opened the spirit path and took her home.

(a/n: Sakura only has a mom in this story because I don't wanna deal with the whole dad thing, "You better not be her boyfriend," and such and such.)

When they reached her door step Sakura let go of Rinne's hand and said, "Go on in through my room window, I'll meat you there."

He looked confused, "I'm a ghost with this haori on, no one's going to see me."

"Oh I wouldn't mind if my mother did see you, I just didn't think you'd want to wait around for me to get my form signed!"

He shrugged his haori off and threw it over his shoulder, "Well in that case I'd love to meet your mother, Sakura Mamiya."

Sakura almost gulped, she was not expecting that. Especially from Rinne. Mr. Hates-to-waste-time-Rinne!

She put on a smile and led him into her house. She took off her shoes at the doorway and Rokudo-kun followed suit. Rokumon-chan had reverted into a small kitten and headed up to Sakura Mamiya's room to sleep on her comfortable bed. Sakura called out to her mother that she was home and had company that would like to meet with her. Her mother came rushing down the stairs, a happy look on her face.

"Sakura-chan! Its not everyday you bring friend home." she stopped in front of Rokudo-kun before squealing, "Ohhh You brought a boy home Sakura-chan!" she pinched his cheeks.

"Mom," Sakura's eye twitched and she blushed, "Its not like that, please, he's just here to help me pack. Oh and I need you to sign a permission slip for Italy. I'll be gone for a week." she handed her the permission slip and introduced Rokudo-kun, "Mom this is Rinne Rokudo-kun, my classmate, Rokudo-kun this is my mother."

"Well Sakura-chan," she said as she let go oh Rinne's miss-used cheek, "Its about time you got a boyfriend. Plus," she whispered in her daughter's ear, "Rinne-chan's so cute!" she giggled.

"Mom!" Sakura whined at her mother's childish antics.

Rinne, half smiling at Sakura Mamiya's mother embarassing her so held out his hand, "Nice to meet you ma'am." he stated brightening his eyes.

"Oh! Such a gentleman, too," she said taking his hand and shaking it.

"Ehem, mom, the form please!" Sakura almost ordered trying to spare herself the embarassment.

Her mother sighed and signed the form, "I swear Rinne-chan, Sakura-chan is sooo boring! How can you stand her?"

'So she gets told she is boring as well?'

Form in hand Sakura rushed for the stairs to her room, "C'mon Rokudo-kun, my room is this way!"

Rinne followed after her.

"Sakura! Leave that door open you hear?"

"Yes, mother!" was her simple reply as she slammed the door open.

Her mother sighed as she sank down to the sofa, bored as ever.

Sakura's mother was a very fun character to create. I do wonder if we will ever meat her parents but we haven't yet so I use my imagination. I had to make Rinne almost laugh at her but the closest thing he'll come to laughing is smiling. I won't make her mother like that in anything else, just this one because I wanted to do something to make Rinne happy after getting his head squished twice! Sorry Rinne... ayways review!
