Cool Summer

Warning: Some Kasumi Bashing (Ayane Forever!) and some romance not suitable for anyone 9 and under

Disclaimer: I do NOT own DOA

It was a typical summer morning when I woke up to the sound of my doorbell ringing. I was only wearing a tank top and panties but that didn't matter; I just wanted to get this over with, so I walked to the door without putting on my robe. I checked the mirror to see if my hair looked messy, which it did so I just combed it out real quick and opened the door.

" Hey, Ryu, what do you want," I said in monotone I was obviously still sleepy because my eyes where droopy, after all, it was only 5:30 a.m. Ryu Hayabusa walked in and sat on my messy bed, " Umm, nice pajamas, very conservative.", he said with a faint smile. " Shut up you pervert, It's extremely conservative considering my half-sister has slept naked since she turned thirteen," I replied sternly. He laid back and sighed, " nice bed you've got here, a Serta?". " No, it's a Simmons;" I sat next to him and stroked his hair.

It's been about a month since I started going out with Ryu. Kasumi was jealous and I often got threat calls from Hitomi. I actually liked it when they where mad at me. I kind of felt victorious, since I've got 'Hitomi's Man', or ' Kasumi's night in shining armor'. I was the victor and they could do nothing about it. After all, he was at my house, not theirs.

" Now, Let me get to the point, Love" he sat up immediately and pulled out two tickets. " Are those, plane tickets? Did you go and buy us a trip somewhere?" I said a bit shocked. " Well, I didn't buy them, I won them, you see, I..." I cut him off immediately. " Don't you start being like Zack! Gambling is illegal in Japan and you know it!", I shouted at him forgetting that the neighbors where sleeping. " And you, being a Kounichi is illegal also dear." he tapped me on the head and continued " You see, I was walking home and some guys invited me to play poker with them, I won and got us these tickets to somewhere, the tickets say it's a surprise destination. There was originally four tickets and I gave them to Hayate and Helena, you don't mind do you?". I shook my head and sighed, " Helena is my friend now ever since we where partners on Zack's Island, and Hayate is cool too, as long as you didn't invite Kasumi". He hugged me and smiled, " you see, now that's the personality that made me ask you out instead of Kasumi". I smirked, at least SOMEBODY liked me better than my dumb sister.

" So when are we leaving?" I walked to my kitchen to prepare us some tea. He followed me and wrapped his arms around my waist and whispered in my ear, " tomorrow, dear". I almost dropped my favorite mug, " WHAT! TOMORROW?" I screamed, yet again forgetting the neighbors. " I'm sorry, Ayane for telling you last minute but I was busy at work and I only had time to tell you now, so please be ready by tomorrow.". I didn't know what to say so I just nodded.

After we had our tea he went to work and I had to stay home and pack. I packed a whole lot of clothes considering I had no idea how long I was going top be there. I sighed and looked up, " this better be good". I said to myself. As I crawled into bed I curiously lifted up all my sheets and read the little label that said ' Serta Perfect Sleeper'. So he was right... it is a Serta.
