Alright, on to the next chapter.
The next day, Naru, Mitsune, and Su stayed at the Hinata Apartments while Ryo searched for Shinobu to take her to her going away party. Shinobu on the other hand was looking for Ryo with the flute clenched tightly in her hand as she walked down the streets. 'I wonder where he is. I hope I can return this to him,' she thought. While she was walking she didn't notice somebody in front of her, so they hit each other. Though the other person was walking the impact of it forced her to stumble back and lose her balance. She then felt a pair strong arm grab her by the waist and steadied her. She tilted her head up to look at the person she bumped into. She gasped as a familiar pair of blue eyes was twinkling over her.
Ryo smiled as she looked at the girl in his arms. "I'm sorry," Shinobu blushed, for Ryo's arms were still around her waist.
"It was my fault I didn't see you," smiled Ryo as he let go of her waist. "I've been looking everywhere for you. Come on, let's go." He grabbed her small hand and started to run towards the apartments. "Oh yeah, we haven't been properly introduced," he smiled down at her as they continued to run down the street. "My name's Ryo, Urashima Ryo."
"Um.Ryo where are you taking me?" Shinobu asked as she tried to keep up with Ryo.
"I'm taking you to the apartments. We have a surprise for you."
When the two arrived at the apartments, there was a big explosion in the kitchen. They both raced to the kitchen only to find the whole kitchen smoking. "This is all your fault Mitsune," cried Naru.
"What me?!? You're the one who set the fire too high," Mitsune countered. Meanwhile Su was at the back with little ducks circling around her head.
"I guess we'll have to throw away all this food," sighed Naru as Shinobu walked towards the stove.
"Um.guys. She's here," Ryo sighed. 'This was just like Akane's cooking. I need to get someone who can cook,' thought Ryo.
"We don't have to throw all this away. Can you please get me some water?" Shinobu asked Naru.
"Um.sure." Naru went over to the sink to get the glass of water.
------After the cooking and eating-------
"Man that was good," commented Ryo as he leaned back on his chair. "I'm sorry you had to do all the work, Shinobu," he apologized.
"Yeah, and this was suppose to be your party," added Naru.
"It's ok. I had a lot of fun," replied Shinobu.
At that moment someone opened the door to the door. "There you are Shinobu," replied Haruka as she saw Shinobu sitting at the table. "Your parents asked me to help look for you. You have to go home and sleep because you're leaving tomorrow."
"But." Shinobu whispered as she lowered her head. Ryo realized that Shinobu didn't want to leave.
"Come on Shinobu," he grabbed her hand.
"Ryo!" screamed the girls. Naru stood up and followed them as they ascended the stairs. "Where are you taking her?" demanded Naru.
"Can't you see, she doesn't want to go home," answered Ryo as he was deciding which way they should go.
"Well.we can't argue with her parents," sighed Naru. "We can't do anything."
"We can give her time. Come on Shinobu," Ryo pulled her towards the right and Naru followed them, as they heard other voices downstairs.
"This way," whispered Shinobu as she pulled them towards the balcony.
"Naru can you distract them?" asked Ryo.
"Uh..I guess," hesitated Naru.
"Thank you," replied Ryo as Shinobu dragged him on. They then jumped on the roof of the apartments. "Wow you've got one good hiding place here," replied Ryo as he looked around at the scenery.
"I use to go here when I was little," she said as she ran towards the edge, but stopped right at the edge. "But one day I fell, and mom forbade me from ever coming here again," she sighed sadly as she looked over the edge.
"Why don't you stay here? We need a cook. And you are an awesome cook," smiled Ryo. He put his hands on his hips and said in a very business like voice, "Well, will you accept the job, Shinobu?"
Before Shinobu answered, her parents finally caught up with them. "Come down from there at once, Shinobu," they both cried.
"You can live with me Shinobu," cried her father.
"I don't think so, especially when you have that other woman there," snarled her mother.
"What other woman?!?" cried her father.
"Stop it!" screamed Shinobu before her mother can retaliate. "Mom, Dad, I love you both but I don't want to go with either of you."
"What!" cried her parents in disbelief, Naru turned her head towards Ryo. She knew something was up since there was a grin plastered on his face.
"Ryo said I can stay as long as I do the cooking. Right Mr. Manager? We had a deal," she turned to Ryo.
This time it was Naru, Mitsune, and Su's turn for cry what. Ryo didn't say anything. All he did was nod his head.
"What! Haruka, he can't do this," argued her father as he turned towards Haruka.
"I'm sorry but he is the manager. I can't do anything about it," Haruka replied calmly.
"Argh!" cried her father in frustration as he turned and left. And soon after her mom turned to leave.
"Take care of her," whispered her mother.
"I will. I promise," promised Ryo.
And now they have a new member in the Hinata Apartments.
