A/N: Hey, so it's been awhile but the first chapter of their honeymoon spinoff is finally up! Fair warning, updates will be very, very sporadic but I hope you will enjoy it anyway.
There will be Sentai influences, since Sentai is Japanese so for all you PR/SS fans out there, I hope you like the little spin I'm giving it!
"This place is beautiful," Emily comments, gazing around. Her grip is limp on her baggage that Jayden gently takes from her hand.
"So you like it?" he says hopefully and Emily turns to him, a bright smile on her face as she nods enthusiastically.
The hotel is large, about six stories or so and made of white cement that almost blinds them because of the hot sun. People are milling about in front of it with suitcases and bags, talking rapidly to each other in fast Japanese.
The newlyweds had been fortunate enough to get a taxi driver that spoke English but now that they've arrived, it's going to be a little harder to get around.
"Come on, let's go inside." Jayden motions with his head as he gathers up their bags, refusing to let Emily take even one. Pouting, she follows him into the big lobby. The floor is made of gleaming white marble and the golden undertones give the room a sense of elegance.
"It's gorgeous," Emily breathes, distracted by a little koi pond in the corner. It has a mini waterfall falling from smooth stones and the sound of running water is present even with the hustle of the hotel. "However did you find a place like this?"
"Jii has some connections," explains Jayden, making his way over to the check in desk. He waits behind a family of five for a moment before they leave and it's his turn. He hesitantly speaks in the little Japanese he knows.
"Konnichiwa, anata wa eigo hanashimasu ka?" He's a bit embarrassed at his own Japanese, sure he messed it up, but it seems the man understood.
The man at the counter bobs his head. "A little. How can I help you?"
"My wife and I rented out one of the cottages," says Jayden, speaking a little slowly. "I think it's number six."
The man nods again and reaches for a binder, searching through it. "Ah, hai, here it is. Juu nichi, ne?"
Jayden assumes that means ten days from the little Japanese he remembers. "Hai, arigato." He accepts the key the man hands him. "Also, could you…recommend a translator or something for us?"
The man thinks for a moment, pushing his glasses up his nose. "A translator? Hai, I can think of one. Very good one, very good. Chotto matte, onegai."
He then turns to go to the back room and Jayden looks down to see Emily staring at him, her mouth wide open and her eyes surprised.
"You speak…Japanese?" she says faintly and Jayden laughs quietly.
"Yeah, Jii thought it might come in handy. Being a Samurai and all. I don't speak it very well and I forget most of it anyway."
"Maybe you could teach me," suggests Emily, winking at him.
"I'm not that good," he argues lightly but then stops when the man comes back, this time pulling along another person, a young boy that seems around Jayden's age.
"This is Agri-kun," the man explains and the boy bows his head. He's about Jayden's height with auburn hair and a youthful-looking face.
"Ogenki desuka?" he says quietly, raising his eyes to theirs. "I will be the translator for your stay. I hope I will do well."
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Emily and this is Jayden," Emily says, smiling at him. He gives her a hesitant one back.
"Emily-san, Jayden-san, let me assist." He reaches for their bags to begin loading them onto one of the luggage carts.
"If you trouble, let him know," the man says. "He is a good boy. I hope you enjoy your stay, Shiba-san." The man bows and the newlyweds do the same, already getting into the habit, before following Agri through the lobby to a side door. He pushes it open, leading to a stone path that winds through very flourishing gardens.
"It's so pretty," Emily says, looking at all the flowering trees and bushes. "They must take very good care of it." Agri nods hesitantly, unsure what to say. "Are cherry blossom trees common here?" she continues. "I remember reading something about them."
Agri nods again. "Hai, sakura can be found many places. They are good for spirit."
"Sakura, huh?" murmurs Emily. "That's a pretty name."
"Suits them well than, doesn't it?" Jayden gestures to a clump of that very tree that is in full bloom, some falling down on the bright green grass. The gardens end in another few steps, leading them to a dirt path that they can see houses at least four cottages.
"Number six, ne?" says Agri, looking at them for confirmation. When they nod, he continues on until they reach that supposed cottage. It has three steps leading up to the front door, with two windows on either side of it. It seems to be made of wood but strong, sturdy, and clean wood, with white trim on the roof.
Agri reaches his hand out. "Key, onegaishimasu." Jayden drops it into his palm and the Japanese boy unlocks the front door, gesturing them inside before pushing the cart in as well.
"It's so cozy," cries Emily, looking around the small living room. It then feeds into the kitchen, a counter separating it. Next to the counter is a low wooden table with two pillows on either side of it. There's a short hallway that leads to the bedroom and a main bathroom from the bedroom. "I love it."
"I'm glad. "Jayden smiles before turning to Agri. "Are there any more Japanese elements?" Jayden asks and the other thinks for a moment.
"Iie, not really. We wanted it to be much Western so tourists are…happy," explains Agri in halting English, staring to unload the cart of their luggage. Emily thinks it's cute at how he seems afraid of messing up because she's sure she will be like that if she ever tries to speak Japanese.
"Arigato, Agri," Jayden says kindly. The so addressed boy smiles shyly and bows his head, finishing unloading all the bags onto the smooth wooden floor.
"My phone number," he says, handing Jayden his phone. "If you need me." Jayden nods and pulls out his own, saving Agri's in it.
"Are you from Okinawa?" Emily asks and Agri shakes his head, auburn hair falling in his eyes. Emily thinks he looks cute like that.
"Iie, from Osaka," he explains. "Much bigger than here. Not as hot."
"Would you recommend anything for us?" Jayden hands the boy his phone back as he thinks for a moment.
"Do you want me as guide?" he says instead and the Shibas nod excitedly.
"That would be really nice," agrees Emily, tugging at her yellow shirt. "Since we don't know much about Okinawa."
"I have good friend that could be better than me," Agri replies. "May he come with us?"
"Of course," responds Jayden, smiling at him. "Whatever works for you."
Agri smiles shyly again before looking out one of the window and seeing the sun begin to set. "It is late. I will leave you to be settled. Call me when you want to go out or anything else."
"Thank you Agri," Emily tells him kindly.
"Agri-kun," corrects the young boy, almost nervously. "Onegaishimasu. Please, so I do not feel awkward, Emily-san."
Emily nods, grinning at him. The best step to learning another language is to immerse oneself fully in all aspects and what better way to do that then familiarize oneself with the formalities? And if it makes Agri feel more comfortable. "Of course, Agri-kun."
He smiles at her shyly before bowing his head. "Oyasumi, Emily-san, Jayden-san." He backs out of the cottage, taking the cart with him and soon the Shibas are left alone.
"I like him," comments Emily as the door swings shut behind the boy. Jayden frowns momentarily, picking up two bags to carry to the bedroom.
"He is nice, isn't he?"
"And cute," Emily adds, getting the remaining bags as she follows Jayden to the room. The former red ranger's frown deepens.
"Maybe."
Emily takes note of his short behavior and laughs lightly. "Oh Jayden, are you jealous?"
"What?" Jayden whirls on her after setting the bags on the bed. "Jealous? Of-of course not." Emily laughs again and takes a step closer, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck.
"Good. You have no reason to be." She gets on her tiptoes to kiss him lightly.
Jayden smiles against her lips but still feels a little hesitant. He's not familiar with this emotion of jealousy, except when Emily was getting close with Mike but he knows he doesn't like it. "I know you think he's attractive."
"Of course." Emily grins at him, lacing her fingers together behind his neck. "He's adorable. But nothing compared to my handsome husband."
A/N: So I know a little bit of Japanese and am going to use all my knowledge in this fic, so expect much more Japanese. And if any of you actually know it, forgive me if I mess it up at all. It is my fourth language so I'm not as good with it as I would like to be. Also, Agri is a character from Super Sentai Goseiger. There will be many more Sentai characters involved, so if anyone has any preferences, let me know!
