So after everyone got unpacked and settled in Kish went to find Kari to show her where his room was.
"So this is my room and my roommate; his name is Ryou." Kish said introducing the two.
"Hey, Kari right?" Ryou asked walking over.
"Uh-huh…" Kari said nervously.
"I'm Ryou." Ryou said putting his hand out to shake hers.
"Uh-huh…" Kari said shyly shaking his hand.
"Are you ok?" Ryou asked looking at her as she turned red.
"Yeah, sorry; just nervous." Kari said quietly.
"Don't be. Hey, do you want to go out on the trail later and explore with me?" Ryou asked.
"Oh um...sure." Kari said quietly.
"Great!" Ryou said with a smile that made Kari melt.
"Kids, pizza's ready; come and get it!" Sakura and Shintaro called up the stairs.
Soon after they called for dinner almost everyone ran downstairs; the only ones left upstairs were Ryou, Kari, Kish, Ichigo, and Mint.
"Hey are you guys coming or not?" Zakuro asked looking up the stairs, more at Mint.
"Yeah, we'll be down in a few minutes." Ichigo said simply.
"What are you guys talking about?" Mint asked walking back upstairs.
"We're just talking about exploring the paths after we get done eating. Do you want to come with?" Kish asked looking at Mint.
"Oh sure; that sounds like fun." Zakuro said somewhat calmly.
"Can I come with too?" Ichigo asked.
"Sure; the more the merrier." Kish said looking at Ichigo.
"So what's your name anyways?" Kish asked looking at everyone.
"I'm Ichigo and I have two younger sisters, Rini and Ringo, who already ran downstairs." Ichigo said simply.
"I'm Zakuro and I'm Michiru's younger sister." Zakuro said looking at everyone.
"I'm Mint and my older sister, Ami also went downstairs already." Mint said smiling.
"You and your sister are the ones with the bitch for a mother." Kish said looking at Zakuro.
"Yeah, I'm sorry about her." Zakuro said simply putting her hand on her hip.
"No, I'm sorry. How do you handle a mother like her?" Kish asked curiously.
"We don't; they just ignore us and its fine. It just means we can do what we want. You two are the grandchildren of my mother's bosses, aren't you?" Zakuro asked looking at Kish and Kari.
"Yep, that's us!" Kish said causing Ichigo to giggle.
"So who are you?" Mint asked looking at Ryou.
"Yeah, I'm Ryou." Ryou said simply looking at Kari.
"Come on you six! It's time to eat!" Sakura and Shintaro yelled up again.
"Coming!" Ichigo yelled as they all looked at each other.
"Guess we'd better get down there before they have a tizzy." Kish and Ryou said at the same time.
"Right." The others said as they made their way downstairs.
"It's about time you got down here." Michiru said as they sat down.
"What were you doing up there; having sex?" Haru and Tart asked smirking.
As soon as they asked that Kari's, Ichigo's and Mint's faces went red and Ryou and Kish spit out their drinks as they started chasing the two around.
"So Kari, what's it like living with Kish?" Ichigo asked looking at Kari before he came back.
"Oh, it's good; he's very protective. But he does leave me alone to do my own thing." Kari said softly.
"Did he have a girlfriend back where you two are from?" Ichigo asked trying to make it seem like she was just curious.
"He used to, but they didn't work out. That was about a year ago I think." Kari said softly.
"So what about you?" Mint asked looking at her.
"What do you mean?" Kari asked confused.
"Did you have a boyfriend back home where you're from?" Mint asked.
"Oh. I used to, but he wasn't very good to me; so we broke up." Kari said softly.
"If you don't mind my asking, but what did he do?" Mint asked prying.
"He just wasn't a nice guy." Kari said softly.
"What are we talking about?" Kish asked as they came back; Haru and Tart with knots on their heads.
"Nothing!" Kari said quickly.
"The red haired girl asked if you had a girlfriend and the blue haired girl asked if your sister had a boyfriend. Your sister said that your relationships just didn't work out. And her boyfriend just wasn't a nice person." Rini said munching on so pizza.
"God you have a big mouth." Ichigo said annoyed throwing a napkin at her sister.
"What? It's what was said." Rini said throwing it back.
"Ok girls; that's enough now. Ichigo leave your sister alone; and Rini don't go telling people other people's business." Sakura said as she went back to the kitchen.
"Yes mom." Both girls said in union.
"Haha…you got in trouble…" Ringo said laughing at her sisters.
"Ringo, that's enough." Sakura called back.
"Sorry…" Ringo mumbled, annoyed.
"Ok…so maybe we should get to know everyone. Starting with who everyone is and how old they are." Kish said sitting next to Kari.
"Ok. So who goes first?" Ringo asked curious.
"How about youngest to oldest?" Haru suggested.
"How are we supposed to know how old everyone is, if we don't know anything about anyone?" Pudding asked confused.
"Well I don't know; it was just a suggestion Pudding!" Haru exclaimed at his younger sister.
"Well!" Pudding started but was interrupted by Kish's and Kari's grandfather.
"Ok, here's what we're going to do. I have all of your names written down on a piece of paper in this hat. Kari will pull out a piece of paper and whoever's name is on it will start." Toshi said simply.
"Ok." Everyone said at once.
"Ok Kari; go ahead and choose." Toshi said putting the hat in front of her.
"Umm…ok…" Kari said nervously pulling out a name.
"Who's name is on it sweetheart?" Toshi asked looking at her.
"Uh…ummm…Keiichiro?" Kari said softly showing her grandfather the piece of paper.
"Ok then; where's Keiichiro?" Toshi asked.
"I'm over here sir." Keiichiro said politely.
"Oh sir? I like this kid; Kish you could learn a thing or two from him. But honestly, you can call me Toshi; Sir was my father." Toshi said causing everyone to laugh. "But seriously. Start with Keiichiro and you guys can go left from there." Toshi continued.
"Yes…" "Mr. Toshi" "Grandpa." Everyone said at once.
"So what do we say?" Keiichiro asked.
"Your name, your age, something you like and something you dislike and a hobby or hobbies." Ryou said leaning back while closing his eyes.
"Oh, before you start. I'm sorry to interrupt, but this is kind of important. Guardians please come out here; this concerns you as well. After I get this last bit of information out Chihiro and I will be leaving." Akio said simply as he and Chihiro sat down.
"What is it? Is everything ok?" Sakura and Nanny asked worried.
"Yes, everything is ok. I just thought I'd tell you that we're working on getting the teens into school by the next school year in about a month and a half." Akio said simply with a smile.
"Awww!" Most of the teens whined.
"This is a good thing. You need school to socialize and learn things." Rose said in a monotone tone of voice.
"The only reason you're saying that because you don't want us around." Zakuro said in annoyance.
"No. No, we love you." Rose said while looking at her phone.
"Whatever…" Both Michiru and Zakuro said rolling their eyes.
"Actually…because of how many there are and the situation were just thinking about sending some of our teachers from witness protection come here and teach the kids. Rose and Pepper will be going to their new jobs in the fashion industry and we got Shintaro a job in business; he'll start that in a few days. Sakura, you said you were happy being a homemaker, but you're free to find a job if you want. Same goes for Nanny and Toshi; even though you own a business. Keiichiro, Setsuna, Pie, Michiru and Haruka; you five have potential and we decided to not to rush you into anything. That being said you should probably try to find a job sometime. Mamoru, Seiya, Taiki, Yaten, Zakuro and Ami you only had one year of school left I believe so you'll be in classes together. Pudding, Rini, Ringo and Hotaru; you four are both twelve so you'll be in classes together while Tart and Haru; who are both fourteen, will be in a class together. Lettuce, Tasuku, Maya, Minako, Usagi, Makoto and Rei all being sixteen will be in a class together. And the next class is of fifteen year olds; Berry, Ichigo, Kish, Kari, Masaya, Mint and Ryou. Chihiro will explain how all of that will work because I have absolutely no clue; I just hire the people." Akio said as the teens once again groaned.
"Thank you so much Akio. Ok so we have six different age categories for classes and as Akio said earlier; he has no clue what's going one. Yes, Zakuro, Ami, Mamoru, Seiya, Taiki and Yaten are all in a classes together, but Pudding, Rini Ringo, Hotaru, Tart and Haru will all be in a class together; while Berry, Ichigo, Kish, Kari, Lettuce, Makoto, Masaya, Maya, Minako, Mint, Rei, Ryou, Tasuku and Usagi will be in a class together. So instead of six different classes there are only three. However, there are many different subjects to be learned; so there will be a few different teachers. I have the list of classes that you'll be taking. Subjects that you all will be learning are the basics:"
Math-Mr. Frick
Science-Mr. Moss
History-Mr. Bacon
English-Ms. Nashi
Health-Mrs. Bacon
Physical Education-Mr. Petes
"And then there are, what are normally elective classes are; they are now a must:"
Art-Mrs. Heaker
Music (Everyone)-Mrs. Jags
Shop Class (Guys Only)-Mr. Haddingfield
Home Economics(Girls Only)-Ms. Haddingfield
Mythology-Mr. Koji
Creative Writing-Ms. Sake
Photography-Mr. Heaker
"Now when I say that these elective classes are a must; what I mean is that each semester you must pick a few to do. You will have nine forty-five minute classes in a day; so that means classes are nine hours long plus a fifty minute lunch at 12:05 PM. And yes, it will be whatever the cook is making that day. It doesn't matter how long you stay up at night as long as you're up and ready for class by eight in the morning; and they go until four fifteen in the afternoon. And just so everyone is aware, because of a time issue; physical education will be two hours after classes end; so everyone will have that class together. So please try to be ready for that. Also, some of the elective classes will also include different years depending on who we've put in it. Like music; I think everyone is in that class together. And some classes like home economics and shop class are girls or guys only. Yes, Pudding?" Chihiro asked as Pudding raised her hand.
"Do you know how class scheduling will work? And who the chef is?" Pudding asked curiously.
"Actually yes; Sakura will be the lunch chef; so she knows everyone's allergies if they have any. Now let's see…"

Well we have to be going; but I'll see you every Sunday between one and one thirty PM and will be staying until I get done talking to each and every one of you for therapy and meditation." Chihiro said with a large smile.
"Well, I'll check in once a month to see how everyone's doing. Have a fantastic evening and enjoy the house and all that comes with it." Akio said waving as he and Chihiro left, leaving everyone stunned.

"Fine…" Both Ryou and Masaya huffed looking away from each other.
"So…do you still want to go explore the trails and stuff with me and the others?" Ryou asked Kari.
"I'd love to." Kari said smiling while tilting her head.
"Uh-uh-uh. Not anymore tonight; it's late and it's already dark out. Go tomorrow when it's light out." Nanny and Sakura said at the same time noting that the sun was indeed going down and it was indeed getting dark.
"Ok." Everyone said at the same time, somewhat annoyed.
"Good, now why don't you all go get ready for bed; you know shower and pajamas. Then if you want you can hang out somewhere and watch a movie; maybe in the living room. Each of your rooms have a shower nearby, correct?" Nanny and Sakura asked smiling.
"Yes, ok…" Everyone grumbled heading upstairs.
Each room had a shower and a tub; so they took turns taking a quick shower…
