'I had the best dream last night...' Keitaro thinks to himself, sullenly getting out of bed. He dresses and plans out what to do for the rest of the day. 'Let's see...clean the floors, fix the hole in the roof, clean the baths, and collect the rent.' Oh no. The last day of the month was always the worst. Shinobu was always on time, lucky for him. He never caught Narusegawa at the right time, and Su would try to use her newly made contraptions on him. Kitsune would try to get him to loan, more like give, her some money because she spent her rent money on sake. Motoko was very frightening when you catch her during the day when she isn't very happy, but otherwise she would pay the rent on time.

'I hope today's collecting will be easier than past times.' He hopes, while he walks down the stairs for breakfast.

---------------------------------------------------At the same time-----------------------------------------------------

'That dream...WHAT THE HELL IS IT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?! Is it telling me to kiss Keitaro?!' Narusegawa wonders. Although she'd never admit it while fully conscious or in public, she enjoyed her dream very much. Putting on this rouse so often, sometimes she had the same attitude in her thoughts. Either way, she got up, dressed, and planned on heading down for breakfast before Keitaro did, so she wouldn't have to see him and walk down the stairs with a flushed face. She crossed off yesterday in the calendar, and realized the rent was due today. She looked in her closet for her envelope where she kept each month's rent. After a bit of looking, she found it, checked to see if it held the correct contents, and went to the stairs to head down for breakfast.

------------------------------------------------Now back to the stairs-------------------------------------------------

As they both came to the stairwell, they looked straight into the other's eyes, and blushed.

'Oh God, now every time I see her I'm going to think of that dream! Today is going to be horrible! Wait..why is she blushing? Could she have had the same dream I did? No way! I need to think realistically, she'd never kiss me...unless she really wanted to.'

'No, why am I getting so flustered? It's not like I wanted the dream to continue...Why would I blush if I didn't like him? He's blushing as well, I wonder what's going on? Did he have the same dream? No, that's impossible.'

Keitaro allowed her to go down the stairs first, each still blushing from their own train of thought. As they walked downstairs to breakfast, the others looked up at the two wondering why; Number 1- They came down together. 2- Why they were both blushing. Each jumped to her own conclusion, most of them involving some type of 'interaction' during the night. When Narusegawa and Keitaro reached the end of the stairwell, the other residents of the Hinata Inn all had shockingly different looks on their face. Kitsune with her sly smile winking at the two of them, Shinobu blushing furiously, Motoko enraged that he would 'do such a thing to an innocent girl when she's sleeping', Su looking happy while fidgeting with a new Tama-like gadget she must've created, and Haruka smoking a cigarette and not really caring what her nephew and Naru might have done.

"Ah, g-good m-morning s-s-enpai's. Breakfast is r-ready!" Shinobu stammers, still blushing furiously at the conclusion she had made. She gladly leaves the room and heads towards the kitchen to prepare tea and plate the food for them.

"So Keitaro? How was it?" Kitsune asks with a voice wanting information, but hinting at the idea she was referring to.

"Eh?! W-what do you mean?! I didn't do anything I swear!" He stammers, getting the referral, but not knowing why she thought he did anything.

"Ah, so you won't tell us, right? Must have been pretty damn good for you to not want to inform us on important life-changing events like these." She says, mumbling the last sentence under her breath.

"No, it isn't like that! Why would you think I did something like that. B-besides nobody here w-would, right? You shouldn't have to think things like that would happen here."

"Oh-ho-ho, how wrong you are Keitaro. I think you and Naru are aware of what went on here during the night. Why don't you inform us? We do deserve to know how other residents are treated."

Sorry if it might have been OOC or if it was too short. Certain characters are called different things by different people, so yea. I honestly wasn't going to continue the story, but I was convinced to by reviewers. I'm glad they did though, this is an interesting story to write. Hope you all enjoy it! Mata ne!
