Love Hina Bara

Chapter 14: I wanna be in Las Vegas, Ian

Ian, Rina, Daisuke, Ichiro, Kana, Chazona, and every other member of the Hinata house were travelling to Las Vegas. Rina, Yui, Foxy, Kaeda, and Chazona were on a separate room on Daisuke's air plane. Rina was sleeping while listening to music on her head phones. Yui was eating a thin rice crackers in a plastic bag and chewed on them while making an angry facial gesture. Foxy was reading a manga: Ai Yori Aoshi. Kaeda sharpened her swords with a whetstone. And Chazona sat in a lotus position while mumbling to herself.

" I just can't stand it!" Yui shouted, she stuffed another rice cracker in her mouth.

" Is it not to your liking, Yui?" Foxy said with concern in her voice.

" I just can't stand having food that tastes better than mine."

" Er, I'm sure you don't face that problem ever so often, Yui. Maybe you should lay down your food if it makes you ashamed."

" But it tastes so good." Yui took handfuls of more rice crackers out and stuffed them in her face. She became repulsed by her leniency of the crackers and throw them away. Yui pouted and crossed her arms. " I really hate myself right now, Foxy."

" Yeah. It's too bad life can't be like Aoi Sakuraba's and Kaoru Hanabishi."

" Who're they?"

" Their the couple of the manga I'm reading. Did you know they were set to be married at a very young age? My favorite part so far is when Hanabishi fixes Aoi's shoes. It's too bad there's so much smut in this story, otherwise I would give it to you to read."

" No-thank-you. I don't like manga. They're all so sketchy."

" But they're fun to read; you have to give them that." Foxy then turned to Rina, she was asleep and listening to music, raised her head phone up, and yelled "Wake up!" in her ear. Rina jumped at the sound of Foxy's voice, but Foxy caught her and settled her down. " Hey, Rina, why are you always so cold to Ian-kun?"

Rina breathed from her mouth as her hand was over her heart. Her cheeks were tinted red, her breath was hoarse, and her hand gripped her heart. " What-ack-is-ack-the-ack-matter-with-you?"

" Rina, why are you always so cold to Ian-kun?"

" What do you mean, Foxy?"

" Well, you always seem to be the tsundere character around him. I always see you get angry at him, punch him, and try to prove you have superiority over him or something. Why are you like that, Rina?"

" Ian? It's because I hate him."

" Really? You really hate Ian-kun? You do seem like a tsudere character. Maybe I should call you Tsudere-Rina. Tsudere-Rina, Tsudere-Rina, Tsudere-Rina. That has a nice ring to it."

" I hate him because he's a man-whore."

" A what?" Both Yui and Foxy said in unison.

Rina opened the windows of the plane; no wind was released while the Wind turbine wasn't as fierce, shouted at the top of her lungs, " Man-whore! Man-whore! Man-whore!"

###

Down below, driving in a Ferrari FF, a two young couple were driving along the highway. The male then pressed on the brakes and stopped on a dirt path, sweating.

" What is it, Tom?"

" I don't know. I feel… a disturbance."

###

Yui and Foxy were sweat dropping from Rina's loud voice, their eyes spinning and their mouths slightly agape. Rina scoffed and went back to listening to her music with her eyes closed. She didn't care about Yui and Foxy, didn't want to listen to what they had to say, and ended up avoiding them. However, Foxy recovered from her daze and pulled up Rina's headphone yelling " Rina!" in her ear.

" Don't you think you're being misguided. Ian-kun's a good man. He cleans up around the house, makes sure everyone is doing work, and goes out of his way to help people. So why are you mean to him?"

" I'm only mean to him because he's a pervert who should just die."

" I wouldn't want him dead just yet if I were you, Rina," Chazona said as she continued to meditate. " Is it Ian that dies, or is it that you die before him? You might want to know, but can you bare the Truth?"

" W-what?" Rina, Yui and Foxy stuttered in unison.

" My predictions are never wrong, remember. You mustn't forget we're all going to die at one time, and wanting someone to die first is irrelevant since it could affect you instead. Are you sure you still want to see him die, Rina?"

" Ah…" Rina's tinted red from her embarrassment. The pressure was shown on Rina's face. She didn't like attention, could stand the pressure of people depending on her, stood up and walked away. " I-I think I'll ask Daisuke for some water. Is anyone thirsty? I'll be right back."

Rina stood up and walked to the other side of the aircraft. Yui made sure Rina was no longer in her sight, smiled. " Get us some drinks my ass."

###

Kana was confiding his deepest, darkest secrets to Ichiro. Ian stood idly by and listened to Kana cry his eyes out as he confided to Ichiro. " I-I am impotent! The doctors say I'll be limp for the rest of my life! I just don't know what to DO!"

Ichiro still tied up shaked his head and " Ah-ha" 'd while Kana cried out his eyes. Ichiro soon began his representation—his ideas that he lived through. " It seems like you're too busy thinking about your woman. That's something only pussy's do. What you need is more woman."

" What?"

" This ought to be good," Ian thought.

" Most definitely. What you need to do is be surrounded by a harem of woman who'll do whatever you say."

" B-but I only want to be around Sanae."

" That's wuss-talk! Fine, if you don't want to replace her with a brothel of hot, sexy woman, then why don't you get a doppelganger."

" W-what?"

" Definitely. What you need is a gangbang of young, strong men with lots of stamina. So every time she wants you, just call your gangbang men and they'll—"

" Quiet, obscene dick!"

BONK!

Ian bonked Ichiro over his head. Ichiro trembled, his mouth agape, his eyes rolling around in circles, then collapsed on the floor. Ian walked over to Kana and took Ichiro's place by sitting on his chair."

" Don't listen to that nutjob, Kana. Don't give up on satisfying her even though you're impotent. You can achieve anything, so long as you try, try and try again. The longevity of your sex life can be restored. "

" But what makes you think I can do this, Ian?"

" Well, there are ways to make yourself better at it, no matter what you might say. First: make sure to drink milk everyday as it is a source of Calcium and can help you with growing bones. Second: Make sure to jog as well exercise as it'll increase you stamina and make for a better, longer intimacy. It'll also help you lose weight; science has shown that thin people are more heated together. Third: your hands can be a replacement for your hole. Your fingers work well, too. Also, this probably the most important, try to do at least twenty minutes of foreplay before starting. You have to make sure you're both prepared before getting intimate. "

As Ian was talking, Kana took out a sketchbook and wrote down everything he was saying. The sound of groaning could be heard from Ichiro's mouth, but it was overlooked by Ian and Kana. The sound however sounded identical to a dying animal, and because of it Kimza ran out of the cockpit with two pistols in her hands.

" Kimza?" Ian thought outloud. Kimza turned her head to Ian, found the source to be Ichiro wailing, then placed her guns to her hips and walked back into the cockpit. " Nice to see you too, Kimza. You psychotic girl."

Kimza scoffed and walked away back into the cockpit with Daisuke. As she was gone, Kana leaned close to Ian as he tapped his right shoulder. " Did it ever occur to you your cousin Daisuke might be a lolicon?"

" What do you mean?"

" He seems to be really cheeky with that Kimza girl. I'm guessing him and her have a little something going on."

" That can't be right. Daisuke wouldn't lay a hand on a woman, much less a girl that's half his size."

" But just think about it. They're both two of a kind."

" W-what are you talking about?"

" Come on, Ian, wake up and smell the coffee!"

" Ian!" Rina shouted. " Get over here!"

Ian made a dog whimpering sound from hearing the sound of Rina yelling. Rina was in the back, standing up, having her hands on her hips. Ian trembled at the sight of Rina. He grovelled staring into her cold eyes and felt his arms grow limp.

" Is something…wrong, Rina?"

Rina at first didn't answer. She continued to look coldly into the eyes of Ian, and Ian trembled staring into her cold eyes. A wicked smile then spread across her face as she raised a hand to him.

"You're mine."

Ian's face grew dreary, his arms became lifeless, eyes turned white. Rina took advantage of Ian's dreariness and kicked her hind legs between Ian's legs, but not a sound was heard. Kana was afraid, confused as he watched Rina continue to kick Ian in his crotch.

" This can't be happening," Kana thought as he was afraid and trembling. " I have to do something!"

Rina soon saw Kana, growled, shouted, " Move another inch, and I'll claw your eye out!"

" Eeeeeek!"

Kana feared the aura of Rina's anger and ducked underneath his chair. By doing so, Ichiro clumsily returned to his feet and saw Rina kicking Ian in his crotch, smiled. " This is so awesome!"

"That's enough of that, pervert!" Rina heckled. "Now start spinning!" Ian spinned around in circles, had his hands upwards like a ballerina, and smiling. "Faster!" Ian spinned his body around at a faster pace, smiling. "Faster, pervert!"

Ichiro snickered watching Ian obey everything that Rina ordered him to do. Kana was repulsed by Rina and Ichiro's demeanor's, bite his lips, and moped. He was too meek, so he could do nothing but watch Ian be abused. " Ian doesn't deserve this! Sure, he does have his quirks, such as his drinking, but Ian has been nothing but nice to people."

" Faster! Faster! Faster!"

While under the hypnotises of Rina, the heckling of Ichiro, Daisuke's plan tilted to the right. Rina and Ichiro were able to grab the handles of seats to restrain themselves from falling, but Ian tilted right and slammed against the hatch of the plane. Still dancing, spinning faster and faster by the second, Ian spinned into the handle of the plane and the door latched open.

###

Daisuke flying the plane heard beeping sounds from his controls. Daisuke was stunned by the sudden predicament. He switched the plane to Auto-Pilot. He then turned around and walked to back. He saw four people: Rina, Kana, Ichiro and Chazona. Chazona was calm and leaned against the hatch, and Rina, Ichiro and Kana mouths were all dropped to the floor.

" What is going on back here?" Daisuke said in a calm, settled voice. " And where's my halfwit cousin Ian?"

" I-I…" Rina stuttered to say. " He…he…"

"We…we…" Ichiro also stuttered to say.

" THEY KILLED HIM!" Kana shouted. " Rina, Ichiro, they killed Ian!" Kana stomped over to Rina and pointed a finger in her face. " She did it! She did it with her hokey-pokey magic tricks! She made Ian commit suicide!" Kana's potency increased as his anger elevated; his face turned red. Kana squeezed Rina with all his strength as she gasped out. " I'll kill YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!"

" Enough!" Chazona shouted. " Ian's not dead yet, buffoon! If he were, I would've sensed it coming."

" So…my friend is still alive?" Kana's angry expression faded. He then dropped Rina. Rina's bum was the first thing to hit the ground, and she rubbed it to relieve the pain. " That's great. So what are we waiting for? We can—"

" It's not as simple as you might think. Ian may still be alive, but he's travelling through the air current. By now he's already landing in Las Vegas."

" He's already there?" Daisuke asked. " By my coordination's, we'll be there in 10 minutes. "

" That's too long!" Kana shouted. " It's my fault he's in this mess, so let me help! Maybe if I jump out too, I can—"

" That's not possible'. According to my schematics, the air current in here is stellar. The wind current is not enough to carry your body anywhere but the way down."

" And my visions tell me you'll die when you crash. Or you'll break every bone in your body, then die. Either way, you're going to die."

" Can't we just use parachutes?"

" Parachutes? What are we, an airline?"

" Really? You don't have parachutes? But what if this plane breaks down? How are you going to escape when the engines go down?"

" The engines can never go down. There are no engines to begin with. The plane is made of propellers that inhale carbon dioxide, oxygen, and greenhouse gases. It acts as a vacuum where it creates fuel from the gases, but unleashes an air current strong enough to float."

" That sounds neat in all, but that still won't bring Ian back. Isn't there anyway to make this plane go faster?"

" Impossible. It's safe fuel. It's unlike fossil fuel that you can burn away, simpleton. If the plane goes any slower, or any faster, than the propellers will stop and we will all fall too our deaths."

" Eeeek!"

" Just don't worry about a thing. I'll get my simple minded cousin back if it's the last thing I do."

###

Ian was above Las Vegas. He was actually above a beach, and clinged onto a Para sailor who was being pulled by a speed boat.

" Eh, my name is Matthew…"

" Nice to meet you, Matthew."

" Oh, you can speak English?"

" Yes. My mother thought tutors with different accents would be good for me, so she hired one's that spoke only English and French, and hoped I'd benefit from it."

" Your mother sounds like a very smart lady."

" She is. She is so much smarter than my father. My father couldn't even get into a university after three tries."

" Righteous! Hang on tight, Chinese dude! We're hitting the big ONE!"

" Eh, I'm actually Japa—"

A giant gust of wind pushed the parasail over. Ian clinged on tighter to the American man as they both spinned around in circles. Ian quickly became nauseous while spinning. Ian and Matthew fell down, rose up, and spinned around in circles.

`` This is so barbaric! It`s no wonder mom told me to stay out of America!``

CRASH!

Finally, Matthew`s parasail crashed on the ground. The collision wasn`t as rough as Ian feared. Matthew`s legs ran across the ground, stopping them from hitting the dirt, but he tripped on a table. Both Ian and Mathew hit the dirt, and Matthew`s parasail flew away.

Matthew shot up and pumped his fists in the air. `` Righteous! Let`s do that again!``

`` This is why I hate travelling.``

###

Ian wandered the streets of Las Vegas. During the day it seemed like an ordinary city. People were honking in their car, people chatting to each other, giant buildings, and stop signs at the end of every corner. Ian was upset.

`` Dammit! How am I going to find anything in a town this big? Well, it's not like I wanted this to happen. But how did I get here in the first place. The last thing I remember…Rina was standing next to me…she smiled….then I wake up clinging onto that guy…"

Ian walked into an empty lot. No people, no vehicles, nothing but an empty fence with fences. Ian found a map of the city and pressed it close to his face as he studied it.

" Right now I'm somewhere near Blue Diamond Hill. I remember Ichiro telling me he meet him in McCarren International Airport. So I should only be a few yards away. I'll find it if I keep heading ri—"

" Help me!"

Ian heard the sound of a girl scream. He saw the appearance of a woman fleeing as he turned his head around. The girl was a slim young woman of below average height. She has long, white hair which curls slightly at the end, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest; her hairstyle's most distinctive trait is short, upward ponytail. She has large blue eyes and a curvy, voluptuous body, with large breasts. The girls seen attire was sleeveless, ankle-length maroon dress with a pleated skirt. The chest was adorned by a large, pink bow, and similarly colored trimmings frame the rather ample neckline. The girl also wore high-heeled shoes that matched her dress, and accessorize with a small chain necklace with a blue oval gem attached to it, and a bracelet made of white flowers circling her right waist.

The girl and Ian's eyes met, both shocked to see the other, then the girl smirked and ran over to Ian as she then hugged him.

" Just be quiet about this, okay."

Ian was caught off-guard by the audacity of the girl and was kissed by her. The feeling of her lips tingled his senses, he felt his mind go blank, but his instincts took over and his lips reacted to hers. As they were kissing, two men wearing black suits and wearing black sunglasses ran up behind and jeered at the sight of Ian and the white haired girl kissing.

" Look at those stupid, horny teenagers," one of the men scoffed.

" First it's a kiss, then it's their first time, then it's pregnancy, and divorce. That's how it worked for me and my wife."

" Yeah, but it was your wife that left you 'cause you're ugly!"

" Shut up! Let's just look somewhere else! I'm sure that spoiled brat's around here somewhere."

The two men ran away. Ian gently pushed the girl away. Ian was blushing. His cheeks were tinted red, drool dripped from his mouth as it also dripped from the girls mouth, and his palms were drenched in sweat. Ian tried to speak, but the girl placed a finger over his lips to hush him.

" I've kissed many boys, but that was the best one I've ever had. You should be very proud of yourself."

" Eh, thank you."

" Don't thank me. It should be me who thanks you. I'm zealous of the next girl who lays here hands on you. Have you been practicing with anyone?"

" Anyone…"

Flashback:

Kaeda kissed Ian on his lips, then in a puff of smoke reverted back to her child form.

" Thanks, Ian-kun. Now I can go on the kiddy rides in the amusement park."

###

Foxy leaned in and kissed Ian on his lips. Ian could feel the taste of cherry lip gloss on her lips. Then she leaned back and typed on her computer.

" I don't know, Ian-kun. I don't think readers will enjoy anymore tasteless pages. Maybe I'll make up the next kissing scenes."

###

" Ian…could you hold me."

" Chazona, are you sure?"

" Yes. Please…hug me."

Ian was hesitant at first, but he walked over to Chazona and hugged her. Chazona's skin were surprisingly warm and Ian blushed from her warm skin. While he was hugging her, Chazona rested her head against his shoulder.

" Thank you…Ian."

###

" Eh, I recall kissing my mother before going to bed. Maybe that's where I learned how to kiss. Hehehehehe."

" I don't know. I kissed lots of boys like those, but none of them had any zest to it. " The girl clinged onto Ian's right hand. " Nah." The girl sticked her tongue out as she gripped Ian's hand. " My names Sankarea. Why don't you show me around town."

###

" Are you sure he's around here?" Kana asked while Daisuke's plane descended to the ground.

" I put a homing device Ian thought was a suppository up his anus when he had a cold. As long as he's in a fifty yard radius, my homing device will pick him up."

" Ergo, you should know where he is, right?"

" It's hard to say. I have a signal, but he's moving too fast."

Daisuke's plane landed on the ground. The hatch opened and Daisuke, Kana, Chazona, Rina, Yui, Foxy, Kaeda and Ichiro being carried by Kaeda walked out. Kana pried Ichiro away from Kaeda and squeezed his neck.

" You better pray Ian's alright, or I'll make today the last day of your life!"

" Eh, I'm pretty sure he's close by."

" You're PRETTY sure? Or are you SURE?'

" Eh…eh…"

" Let him go, Kana," Daisuke said. " Acting heinous will not do you any good. And don't worry about him. If he's wrong about the location, then I'll let you have your way with him. Until then…" Daisuke grabbed Kana and dragged him away. " Ichiro's my priority. And he'll be doing what I say."

Kaeda was thinking about Ian's safety. " You don't think he'll…"

-Kaeda's daydream-

Ian was holding a sword and covered in blood. A man was shaking underneath him. Ian stabbed the tip of his sword right through the man's neck and twisted the hilt. Blood squirted from his neck as Ian pressed the sword down on him.

" I will defend my houses honour! I'll make a genocide of these corrupt men!"

- daydream end-

" Please, Ian's not senile. He's not even hostile," Kana said, sweat dripped behind his head. " Whoever told him he was like that."

" Tee-hee," Rina giggled under her breath. " I love toying with people."

###

Ian stood idly by as Sankarea dragged him around. People continued to stare at Ian. People believed Ian and Sankarea were a couple, and glared at him as they were envious of him.

" Um, could you stop holding my arm, Sankarea? I promise I won't leave you."

" Nah. I could let you go, but I'd rather see the look on your *cute* face!"

" There's something about this girl that reminds me of Foxy. But that can't be possible. This girl is American, but she speaks Japanese perfectly. And why was she being chased?"

" HELP ME!" A shrill voice of a girl screaming was heard. Ian looked farther away and say a blonde-haired American girl in a sundress being harassed by two jocks with red jackets. The jocks grabbed her arms and yanked her to them. "Let go of me!"

" Someone has to help her. Sankarea , stay here! I'm going to settle this man-to-man!"

" Eh, that's actually—"

Ian didn't hear Sankarea's voice. Ian ran over to one of the jocks and slugged him in his face. Ian then roundhouse kicked the other jock in the head, and then elbowed the other one. Ian turned his head to the girl in distress and smiled.

" Are you alright? That was some—"

SLAP!

The girl slapped Ian across his face. A red mark bruised his face. Ian rubbed the sore spot as the girl scowled at him.

" Idiot!"

" W-what?"

" Cut!" A man shouted. " Cut! Cut! Cut!"

" Cut on the set," a female said. " Disruption on Scene Three."

Ian was confused. His whole incident was nothing more than a movie scene. People gathered around the blonde-haired girl playing the female heroine, pampered her with lip gloss and perfume, as she continued to scowl at Ian.

" I don't understand…"

" It seems you naively walked into a movie set, idiot." Sankarea rubbed Ian's back as she comforted him. " But it's nice to know you have some courage. And that's what makes you even *cuter*."

" Agh!" shouted in the blonde-haired actress in disgust. " I wanted Sparling water! This is regular water!"

" I'm sorry, missy, but they're all out of sparling water."

" Well check somewhere else! I'm not working without Sparling water!"

The actress's manager took her bottle away and walked away. He mumbled under his breath, said, " She is such bitch. Why'd we ever hire her? It's not like she's a main character or something." As the man continued to walk to the nearest store, he noticed Sankarea. He was entranced with her large breasts and fit curves, smiled. " You there, miss with the white hair!"

" Me?" Sankarea said in an English accent.

" Yes, you. How'd you like to be in our movie? We'd like you to take the place of Scene 3."

" Scene 3!" The blonde-haired actress shouted. " That's my scene!"

" Sorry, miss, but allure is the most important thing. And I'm allured by her."

" Okay, I'll be a part of your movie. On one condition: my *cutey* pie—Er, what's your name?"

" Ian Urishima."

" (whipering) Really? That's a strange name for a Japanese person. (outloud) Ian gets to have a part in it."

" Sure. He can be our stunt double. Based on what I've seen, he is exceptionally strong."

-Scene Three-

The young side character (Sankarea) was sauntering through an alley. As she walking, her boobs swayed left and right. She then heard the creping sound of footsteps echoing through the alleyway.

" Hello?" The girl said. " Is anyone there?"

The Sankarea waited for the movie events to take place—she portrayed her character perfectly. She posed, her eyes crying, and her hair blowing in the breeze. Two actors who played football jocks crept up behind her and groped her.

" Hey there, baby," one of the actors said portraying his role as a debaucher.

" Why don't you spend time with us?"

" No, please, leave me alone," Sankarea said innocently.

" Oh, but we want to have some fun! And you are going to give it to us personally!"

" Give it to us personally. These screenwriters sure are sketchy. What is this movie even about? " Sankarea made another pose, tears were dripping from her eyes as she was grabbed by her arm. "HELP ME! Let go of me!"

" Hey, you punks!" A male shouted (not Ian) behind. Both jocks turned around and stared at the actor behind him. The actor was a slim young man with beige hair in a bowl undercut, with two large, straight bangs framing and partially covering his sides. His outfit consisted of a simple blue shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a collar left widely open, loose dark blue pants with torn hemlines, and light-colored plain shoes " Prepare to feel my—"

" Cut!" The director shouted. " Bring in the stunt double!"

The actor shrugged and walked off. Ian walked on wearing the same outfit as the actor and even a wig that resembled his hair. Ian slicked his hair back, raised his fists up, smiled. " Time to kick some ass!"

Ian dashed over to the actor on the left and clobbered him in his face. Ian was too into character and had punched him in the face. The actor collapsed from the power of Ian's fist. Then, Ian roundhouse kicked the second guy in his face and smashed his head in.

Both actors shook from the shock of Ian's fists. Ian however ignored their real pain and grabbed Sankarea as he brushed her hair. Sankarea's eyes were plastered to Ian, and her heart beat staring into his eyes.

" Cut! Bring in the actor!"

Ian was dragged off by two facility members. The actor of the film walked in his face and stared in Sankarea's eyes. Sankarea wasn't as entranced by him; her facial gesture of enticement was from Ian's previous encounter.

" According to the script, this is the part where the damsel in distress, me, gives her regards to the hero by kissing him on the lips." Sankarea walked past the actor and walked over to Ian. She dragged Ian back on the set, pushed the other actor out of the way, then wrapped her arms around Ian's back. " You're a brave man. Let me show you my gratitude."

Sankarea kissed Ian again on his lips. The kiss was exactly the same as before, minus the audience of cameramen, actors/actresses and directors in the back, as Ian's cheeks blushed red from the excitement.

" Cut!" the director shouted with blithe in his voice. " Brilliant! Real kissing action between hero and damsel! Luke, edit the film so the pushing scene is gone. And give these two more money. They're going to make us famous!"

###

Ian and Sankarea sat in a local family restaurant. Ian had a cup of coffee—he didn't want to spend too much money—he didn't have much money in American. However, Sankarea was on her fifth plate of food, swallowed it down quickly, then severed herself with a sixth plate of food.

" Don't you think you're a little too fast, Sankarea?" Ian said slightly appalled by Sankarea's eating. " Are you even tasting the food?"

Sankarea stopped eating and nodded her head. She then smiled as she swallowed the food still in her mouth. " It's the best food in this whole town. I come here whenever I can and just eat something new each time."

" I guess that means you've eaten everything in this restaurant, eh?"

" Don't be a smartass. I do avoid something's on the menu, but that's only because they have red sauce on it and I'm not a fan of food with red sauce."

" What's so bad about red sauce? "

" I frankly just don't like its flavor. I also don't like chilli, spaghetti, lasagna, certain types of pizza, or chicken pot pie."

" I'm sorry, but I haven't tried most of those. I mostly just eat bowls of ramen, bento, rice balls, sushi, and have some sake from time to time. But I can't try anything new because I never have time to go to restaurants because the girls in the Hinata House keep me bu—"

" You live in a house with woman? No wonder you are such a good kisser."

" It's not what you think. A few weeks ago I received a letter from my father to visit their house, and almost lost my life on the first day. The girls there are freeloaders, often make excuses why they can't pay their rent, and don't give me any respect."

" So, you didn't learn to kiss from any of them?"

" Not on purpose. Most of the times they kissed me were by accident."

" I hardly doubt being kissed was an accident; a guy like you. But if they're abusing you, maybe you should show them a little man ship. You shouldn't be afraid to speak to them no matter what they say."

" That does sound nice and all, but I don't like to raise my voice to other people. That's not to say I can't, but I don't think my girlfriend Aimi would like me acting like a beast. She'd be—"

" Woah, woah, woah, you have a girlfriend? You?"

" Actually, she's a girl I really care about, but I think she sees me only as a friend. I've known her for a long time, but she's afraid of men and it's grim on me. Every day she would help her friends with chores, do work for her parents, pretty much does errands for everyone, and never once thinks about herself."

" She sounds like a really sweet girl."

" She is. It's hard for me to think of her; I think she sees me only as a friend rather than a kindred love."

" What if I said I had a drug that could make any woman fall in love with you? Then what would you say?"

" I'd politely decline your offer. I'd appreciate your help, but I'd want Aimi to see me as I see her, and there's no way I'd go along with defiling her innocent face. Taking it slowly, one step at a time, I'd want us to be happy, walk together holding hands, having romantic dinners where we lay outside and stare at the stars, go to Tokyo U together, play tennis, and have picnics under a tree."

" Are you really a man? You sound like you're having your Period."

" But isn't there something you'd like to do with your life, Sankarea?"

" Actually, there's something I've always wanted to be. When I was younger I wanted to be a model, show off my beautiful, fair smile, but of course my father divulged that I would take his place at his company when he dies."

" That sounds pretty awful. I know a parent has the right to speak their mind, but they don't have the right to choose which career their child will take. I remember back in 1950's, in America, parents could make their kids do whatever careers they wanted for them."

" I remember watching something like that in the Dead Poet Society film. The film took place in the 1950's, so maybe you're right. But shouldn't one of us pay the tab? I just want to go."

" You know I'd pay for you, but I'm low on American money. I've only got $85 dollars in American. Maybe you and me will have to work as bus boys to pay for this, right?"

" There's no need for that, *cutey*. I have more than enough money right here." Sankarea took out bills of American money and slammed it against the table. She then winked as she got up, placed a $10 tip for the waiter to pick up, and walked over to the cash register. " Thank you."

Sankarea skipped over to Ian and clinged onto his right arm. Ian's cheeks blushed, tinted red from the warmness of Sankarea's arms, and the stimulus of her giant breasts pushed against his back, but then he walked towards the exit.

" Is there any place I can drop you off, Sankarea?"

" Oh, there's a place." Sankarea had Ian as leverage, knew how lenient he was, smiled. " If you go to McCarren International Airport, you might just meet my father, the head of a yukaza gang."

Days until Ian finds his true love: 80.3 ( It's almost nightfall)
