Chapter 5
Day 1 Shopping

The sun filtered through the window in the hotel room as Anubis opened his eyes and felt the warm sunshine on his face. As he got up, he realized that Dais, Cale, and Sekhmet were already up, waiting for him. Anubis was surprised, they should be suffering from Jet Lag, but they seemed awake and refreshed. "Sorry I slept so late," Anubis apologized.
"Don't worry," Cale smiled, "we wanted you to sleep late. The Ronins had to be out of the hotel before we could do anything."
"Where are they?" Anubis asked.
"They're out at Volcanoes National Park," Sekhmet smiled, "with them away, we can do something together."
"So what are we doing today?" Anubis asked.
"Getting you some more clothes," Dais said, "you aren't wearing the same clothes everyday you're here. After we go shopping, were going out for dinner."
Dais drove to the nearest shopping center where everyone got out. Dais, Cale, Sekhmet, and Anubis walked around. The four Seasons entered various shops where they looked for a more stable wardrobe that Anubis could wear. By the end of the day, they ended up with six pairs of pants and six shirts. After everything was paid for, Anubis showed them a small café selling Hawaiian coffee. As they were drinking their coffee, Anubis asked his brothers-in-arms how things were going. Dais started, "After we cleaned up the Demon Realm, we all moved back to the Mortal Realm."
Cale spoke next, "We started a historical preservation company. The company keeps all of us busy, but it isn't boring. Sekhmet heads the chemical part of the preservation, I head the fieldwork part of the preservation, and Dais does all the political stuff. We've grown very wealthy because of the company."
Then Sekhmet spoke, "We have all the influence, wealth, and political power that we craved 400 years ago, but..."
"But, even with all of that you are not truly happy or satisfied," Anubis finished, "why not?"
None of them had an answer. "So why did you come to Hawai'i in the first place?" Anubis asked, trying to change the subject.
"We began to throw ourselves into our work," Dais said, "we began staying late hours, not getting enough sleep, stressing out. One day, I came to work with the flu. That got our employees so worried that they demanded that we take a vacation. The Ronins invited us to come to Hawai'i and here we are."
Anubis looked at his watch, "its almost 7 o'clock." He said, "We probably should get dinner."
After getting into the car, they drove to a small outdoor restaurant. There they had some Breadfruit, Tuna, and some ice cream. After they left, they went back to the hotel. In the lobby, they ran into a problem, the Ronins were talking with Hina in the center of the lobby. "Shit, how do we sneak Anubis past them without them recognizing him or us?" Cale asked.
"With these," Anubis told Cale. Showing Cale some ponytail holders and a baseball cap, Anubis told the confused Warrior of Winter, "I'll just bind my hair, stuff it under my cap, and walk past them. Wait a few minutes after I walk by, and then walk past them. I'll meet you in the room."
"Take my key card, you'll need it," Sekhmet said, "Dais and Cale have one already, so I can use theirs."
The trick worked, Anubis bound his hair, stuffed it under his cap, and walked past the Ronins and Hina without being noticed. A few minutes later, Dais, Cale, and Sekhmet walked by only to stopped by Hina, "I did not see you at dinner."
"We went out shopping, I guess we forgot." Dais said, "sorry."
"Do you want anything to eat?" She asked.
"No thanks, we'll eat in the room." Dais replied as they left for their room.
