Thanks for all of yells reviews and votes. Here's the next chapter.
The next day, Ryo got up around 5:00 in the morning. 'I better practice,' he yawned as he stretched one arm and rubbed the sleep out of his eye with the other. He slowly made his way to the closet to change into his black gig and his favorite weapon, the katana his sensei gave him. After changing, he slowly made his way to the back of the apartments, at the forest near by. 'Man it's been awhile since I've practiced my katas,' he thought as he started a very complicated kite without his weapon. His battle aura blazed with a blue shade, and as he progressed his aura got bigger and bigger. When he was through with that kata, he picked up his katana, and positioned himself on a starting stance and closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The katana, held in front of him, reflected the risen sun's light, as he started. He started with his favorite yet complex kata. After that kata, he suddenly realized that it was getting late. He has to be back before anybody finds out. He raced through the woods then jumped high and started to jump from tree to tree with incredible speed. He was just a big blur as he went back. He jumped to the window of his room and jumped in. He quickly changed his clothes and put his weapon away. He picked up all his dirty clothes from before and went out his room towards the laundry room. When he opened the door, he saw a girl with long black hair standing in front of the washing machine in a towel. She was as surprised as he was.
They stared at each other for a couple of minutes before she decided to grab her katana and shouted, "Secret technique, rock splitting sword." Ryo didn't see this coming so evidently he got hit. He flew back and hit the wall. He didn't feel a thing from the attack or when he hit the wall.
With his head lowered, he grinned at himself. 'I know this technique. It's the Aoyama technique. It's passed down from one generation to the next.' With all the racket Shinobu rushed towards the laundry room. As she turned the corner she saw the black haired girl standing over Ryo with her katana's point pointed at him. "Ahh!!" she screamed and within a minute all of the Hinata residents were there.
"What's wrong Shinobu?" asked Naru worriedly.
Shinobu pointed at Motoko and Ryo. "This girl just attacked Ryo out of nowhere," stuttered Shinobu.
Naru looked at the attacker and smile. "Motoko, you're back already. Come on we'll update you on what's happening." She grabbed Motoko's hand and pulled her towards the kitchen. Everybody gathered around the kitchen table and updated Motoko on the things that happened since she left.
Ryo decided that it would be wise to let the girls do all the talking, but he did notice her looking up once in awhile with flushed cheeks. 'Hm.I wonder why her cheeks are flushed.'
At the end of the story telling, "What!?!" shouted Motoko. "A man as the manager of an all girls dorm!?!" She gave him a death glare, which caused him to flinch a little. "I don't think so!" Motoko retaliated as she drew out her katana, but she started to get a little light headed. Then finally she collapsed.
When she woke up she found herself in her futon in her room. "Oww, my head," she moaned as she tried to get up. Then she realized something, 'Why does that man, Ryo, make me feel like this? I get all light headed and my heart starts to pound like crazy when I see him.' Then her eyes grew big, as she remembered what her big sister told her.
-----Quick flashback----------
"Oh Motoko," Motoko's older sister said as they walked in a park. "I get all light headed and my heart starts to pound really hard as if it was going to escape from my chest every time I see him." Chibi Motoko looked at her older sister wondering what she was talking about. "I think I'm in love," her older sister sighed dreamily.
---------End of Flashback-----------
'No!!! That's impossible! I can't be in love with him!' she screamed mentally. She jumped out of her futon, grabbed her katana, and ran towards Ryo's room.
Meanwhile Ryo was sitting in front of his table deep in thought. 'What am I going to do if she attacks me again? I can't really fight her and I also don't want to show I can whop her butt. What am I going to do? I guess I'll just have to improvise.' Suddenly Motoko ripped the door open.
"Ryo Urashima, I challenge you do a duel," challenged Motoko.
Ryo just sat the calmly and asked, "What for?"
"For the management of the apartments. If I win then I'll manage the apartments myself, and if you win I can keep the position as manager," she said as she threw another katana beside him. 'This guy can't do anything. I'm sure to beat the crap out of him,' she grinned inwardly. She didn't wait till Ryo pulled the katana out of the sheath, she just attacked head on. She started out with a vertical slash. And surprisingly enough Ryo blocked it with the katana's sheath and pushed it to the left. Thinking that the block was just pure luck, she pulled back and tried again but this time with a horizontal slash. Ryo ducked the attack then looked up. He saw a hole above him, so when he saw a opening he jumped up towards the hole to see where it would lead him to. As it turned out it was in Naru's room. When Naru saw Ryo pop out of the hole on the floor she screamed and threw a powerful punch towards him. He ducked and dashed for the exit. He ran towards the balcony that Shinobu showed him the night before closely followed by Motoko. When they got at the balcony, Motoko started using her special technique. But Ryo just jumped to the side every time she uses it. He then jumped to the roof and at the edge. 'Hehehe. I got him cornered," she grinned to herself as she approached him slowly. After a couple of steps she started to feel light headed again. She dropped her katana and collapsed. She felt herself rolling off the roof. Ryo quickly threw his katana and ran towards her. Seeing that she is about to fall off, Ryo jumped. He reached her but they were both rolling. As they reached the edge, Ryo grabbed her waist with on hand and grabbed the edge of the roof with the other. "Let go of me," struggled Motoko. She slipped from Ryo's grasped and started falling, but Ryo grabbed her hand.
"Will you quit doing that?" he grunted. "You're not exactly what they call light." He tried pulling him and Motoko back on the roof, but I was quite an effort with her struggling. That comment didn't really help things either.
"Why don't you just let me fall?" she screamed.
"Why because it is against my code and I'm the manager. I'm responsible for all of your safety. That's why," he answered. His fingers were slowly slipping until finally he lost his grip. They both went plummeting down towards the hot spring where everybody else was watching from. When, he resurfaced he searched around for Motoko. He found her floating on her front. He picked her up, "You guys need to change her into something dry, and then let her rest," he instructed. "She has a fever," he informed since he encountered some confused looks. He handed her to Naru and started to walk in.
"Where are you going?" asked Naru.
"I'm going to change. I might get sick ya know," he grinned. On the way in he ran into Haruka.
"Oh, hi Haruka. What can I do for you?"
"I need to talk to you Ryo. After you get changed of course," she replied as she turned and headed for the dining room. "I'll be in the dining room, waiting."
"Alright," answered Ryo. After he changed into some dryer clothes, he went straight to the dining room. When he opened the door he realized that everybody was there except for Motoko. "What's the problem Haruka?"
That's it for now. I'll try and update tomorrow. Here's the poll so far:
Shinobu-17
Motoko-18
Adult Su-5
Mitsune-2
New character-1
