They were all standing outside of a really big house. "Whoa…It's a mansion…" Kietaro said in awe. "No way, It's a palace…" Kistune said. "Well, I picked this place for us to stay. All we need to do is pay the rent and we'll be fine…Well, go unpack and go to sleep, we have a big day ahead of us." Haruka told them. "Haruka?" Keitaro asked. "How can we afford a place like this!?" "Don't worry about it Keitaro! We'll just use the money we'll haul in." Keitaro panicked. "But you said that the money will go to pay bills at the Hinata House and soup up the beach café! There is no way we can split the money three ways!" "Ehh…we'll wing it, now go to sleep Keitaro. Tomorrow's the big day." Haruka pointed to the house. "Yes ma'am…" Keitaro walked. "Here…" Haruka handed him a piece of paper. "It's your room…" She told him. Keitaro walking into the house and went upstairs. "Hmm…room 205" Keitaro looked at the slip and then at the door. "205...perfect…" He slid the door open and saw Naru changing into her nightgown. "Not ever 5 minutes and you still peep! God damn you!" Naru punched him down the hall. "But I thought that's my room…" he called until is voice vanished.
Chapter 2" Love on the beach, a Shinobu Tale
Everyone was just waking up from their slumber and of course, Shinobu was making breakfast down in the kitchen. Keitaro being the first one u, entered the kichen to see Shinobu hard at work. "Wow Shinobu, your up and running. Wish I could say the same for myself…" "Good morning Sempai! Breakfast will be ready in a couple of minutes!" She told him. Keitaro sat down and waited. "You know…we at the beach and all and I was just thinking…maybe you should go out and find some new friends Shinobu." She stopped what she was doing and turned to him. "What do you mean?" She said with a concerned voice. "Well…I know we're friends and all but, you need to find some friends your age…The Beach House doesn't open 'til noon, so why don't you go out and make so friends." Shinobu thought about it for awhile. [Well…sempai is right after all…the boraders at wonderful…but they aren't my "true" friends. Maybe I should…] "Ok, Sempai…I will! In fact, I think I'll go right now! Thanks a lot!" Shinobu rushed upstairs and in ten seconds, raced down and out the door. Keitaro laid back. "Man…do I give good advice or what…wait a minute…where's my breakfast!"
[What was I thinking…I can't make any friends! I'm just to shy around people that I don't know…man, I knew this is a bad idea…] Shinobu thought as she walked along the shore. [And besides…where am I going to friends at this hour! It's at the crack of dawn!] "Heads up!" Shinobu looked straight ahead to see a beach ball hurtling towards her. She was panicking and didn't have enough time to react when…SMACK! Slowly, Shinobu opened her eyes to see the ball stopped by a pair of hands that were behind her. Her eyes widen ask she turned around. In back of her was a boy, early teens, that caught the ball. "Um…you ok?" He asked her. She started to tremble and walked away really fast. "Um…I'm so sorry for disturbing you!" She called as she raced away. "Watch out!" the boy yelled, reaching for Shinobu. She looked down to see a pit trap and right before she could have fallen in, Shinobu was pulled away to safety. "Geez…you have to be careful…" He told her. Shinobu shot back up. "Um…so sorry!" "Heh, I could tell your not a the social able type…" He slowly got up and looked at Shinobu at the face. "What's up! I'm Tyler! What's yours?" He offered a hand shake. "Um…Shinobu…" She reached over and shook his hand. They walked along the beach side by side. "So are you always is clumsy? Tyler asked her. "What?! O no, I'm not clumsy, it's just that…well, every time I have something in my mind…I just zone out…" "Like now?" He asked as he pulled Shinobu away from a beached jellyfish. "Um…yeah, thanks…" He smiled at her. "Hey no problem!" Shinobu looked away from him. "You ok?" He tried to look at her face. "Um…I'm just fine…" Tyler straighten up. "I see, I'm probably the first boy you ever talked to…" "Kyahh! That's no half true!" She told him although she knew it was true. "Heh, don't hide it, I can see it in your face…" Then she covered her face. "Hahaha! Come on…don't hide it!" Slowly, her hand lowered to reveled her face. "You ok Shinobu? Your face is all red. I did you get a sun burn or something?" "It's nothing Tyler!" She instantly responded. "So Shinobu, where do you live?" "Huh? Um…in a house with some…um…friends…" "Ahhh, I live right there!" Tyler pointed to the blue house. "Wow, you live here on the beach? What must be cool!" Shinobu said with excitement. "Well, I guess you can say that…well I have to go, gotta finish playing volleyball with my friends…see you around the beach Shinobu!" Tyler called as he ran back to the place where they played. [Wow, was a nice boy… kinda cute…wait, I just made a friend! Woohoo me! Go me! Go me!] She celebrated in her mind. "Hey Shinobu what's up?" "Tyler?" "Um…no, It's me, Keitaro…" he said, pointing to himself. "Who's this Tyler character?" "Kyahhh! It's no one! Um…got to go!" She ran off. "Wait! Shinobu! …what about breakfast?
"Hiya! Welcome to the Beach House Café! Will you be dinning with us today?" Su greeted as customers walked in. "Man…we're getting a lot of people today…" Kitsune watched. "Yeah…but we could have more…" Haruka told her, lighting a cigarette. "Hey Keitaro…get over here." "Yes?" Keitaro replied. Haruka picked up a sign and tossed it at him. "I think you know what to do…" Keitaro looked at the sign. "Wait a minute…we have hell people already! I don't think we need more!" "Come on Keitaro, you have nothing to do and besides, you need the exercise." Keitaro walked out of the store. A lot of people stopped and looked at the sign as Keitaro passed by. "Hmm…a beach café huh…sounds cool." Someone said.
"Shinobu! We need another round of fried rice!" Kitsune told her. "Roger! Man…I forgot how fun and exhausting this type of work is…" Shinobu stared up the stove and went to work. "Fried rice, up!" She placed the order on the counter. "YOur on fire today Shinobu! Motoko complemented, "Tell me when you need a break and I'll get someone to cover." "Thanks Motoko, but I don't think I need a break any time soon." "Order up! The special Shinobu Spaghetti." Kitsune told them. "Ok!" Shinobu fired away. [Motoko's right, I have a lot of energy today…more energy I have on normal days. Maybe it's because I made a friend…I wonder when I get to see him again…] Shinobu thought as she finished cooking the spaghetti. "Shinobu, can you deliver the order to table 11? My hands are full right now…" Kitsune asked her. "Sure!" She walked over to table 11. "Here you go! One Shinobu Spaghetti!" "Hey Shinobu! Didn't know you have a food named after you!" said a familiar voice. "Kyahh!" Shinobu launched the spaghetti in the air. "Hey you guys…I'm back advertising!" Keitaro walked in. Suddenly, a plate of spaghetti lands on him. "Just my luck…" "What are you doing here Tyler!" Shinobu asked. "Came here to relax…it's really hot outside and I saw your walking billboard so…here I am! Hey…where's my order?" Tyler asked. "Huh? Um…I'm sorry! I'll wipe up a new batch! Be back!" Shinobu ran off. Tyler scratched his head. "What an interesting person…she's the one that's cooking?" Five minutes later, she came back with the food. "Here you go, sorry for before." "Wow, that was fast…" Tyler took a bite. "Hey! This is pretty good! You cooking the food?" He asked her. "Um….why yes!" "Wow, you're a good cook…this the is best I've ever tasted!" Shinobu started to blush. "Why thank you…" He turned to her. "Um…do you know you still have that red face from this morning…you should really get that checked." Tyler said. "Um…it's nothing! Really!" Motoko walked over to them with her sword. "This person causing you trouble? I can take care of that…" "Um…no! That's ok Motoko! I think I'll take that break right about now! See you in a hour!" She grabbed Tyler and rushed out the door. "Hey! Wait! I didn't finish my spaghetti!" Tyler called out. "That's odd…" "What is Motoko?" Naru asked. "Shinobu just ran off with that guy…" Naru looked at the door, then at Motoko. "You sure?" "Yeah…well either way…we need a cook." Naru's eyes widen. "Don't worry! Leave it all to me!" "No! I mean…um, that's ok…Keitaro is going to do it…" Motoko said, drawing her blade out in front of Keitaro. "Isn't that right?" "Um…yes ma'am!"
"Wow, you're the head chief, you must be really talented Shinobu." Tyler said to her as they walked towards the ocean. "O, it's just a skill I picked up while I stayed at the dorm…What do you do? I mean, you live at the beach, you must have a lot of skills that involves the ocean. "Well…I can swim and surf…and that's about it!" "You can surf? Wow, I wish I can learn how to surf…" "Why don't I teach you!" Shinobu jolted. "But…But I can't. I have to work at the café all the time, plus I don't have a board…" It doesn't matter, I'll let you use my board and time…um, well that can be a problem…" They both stopped at the shore of the beach. Tyler picked up a rock and skipped it across the ocean. Shinobu picked up a rock and also skipped it. They laughed and tried to beat each other's score of most jumps. They saw a flat rock and when they tried to reach for it, they touched each other's hands. "O my! I'm sooo sorry!" Shinobu apologied. "Um…It's ok, just a coincidence…" They both looked at the ground. "Um…I think I have to get back…see you later?" Shinobu told him. "Um…yeah! Later!" They waved good-bye to each other and walked away. From a distance, Kitsune smiled. "Heh, I knew it…"
"Man, what a day! I'm pooped!" Keitaro yawned. "Are you kidding me Keitaro! You barely did anything!" "That's not true!" Everyone watched as Keitaro and Naru fight. Shinobu got up and walked to the balcony on the roof. Naru noticed her leaving. [I wonder what's bothering her?] "Hey Naru, what are you doing?" "Leave me alone Keitaro! I'm thinking!" She punched him out of the room. Shinobu just stood there, leaning against the rail, looking out at the sunset. "Hey Shinobu, you ok?" She turned around to see Naru. "Hey Naru, nothing is wrong, just thinking." "About what?" "Well…how do you know if someone loves you?" Naru was taken back at the answer, since she, herself, doesn't know the answer. "Hmm, well, you see…I think it's in that person's kiss." "Really? How about in his eyes?" "Well, no, your just being deceived…" Shinobu rubbed her chin. "O! How about in his face?" "No, that's just his charms…Shinobu, you want to know, if he loves you so, it's in his kiss…that's where it is…um, shoop shoop, shoop shoop…" Shinobu just looked at her confused. "Er…well, thanks anyway…" "Why do you ask?" "Um…it's nothing…really." Shiobu said. "Well…ok, if you need us, we'll be inside." "Ok, thanks Naru. In his kiss uh…"
A couple of days have passed. Everyone was hard at work taking orders and making them. And once in awhile, Tyler would come in a order the Shinobu Spaghetti. "Hey Shinobu." Haruka called. "Yes?" "For the last few days, I notice that you've been working all out…so I decided to give you the rest of the day off." "Really? Thanks! But what are you going to do for a chief?" "Don't worry about it, we'll think of something." Shinobu headed for the door. "Thanks a lot Haruka!" Keitaro and the gang watched at she left. "Hey Haruka…how come you never let us get the rest of the day off?"
Ahh…this is the life…nothing to do. Just lying here in this inflatable raft, not a care in the world…" Shinobu relaxed. "Hey Shinobu. What are you doing way out here in the line up?" Tyler's head hovered over her. "Tyler! Don't scare me like that! What do you mean line up?" Tyler, on his surfboard, pointed to the left. "Kyahhh! I drifted that far from shore! What am I going to do!" She panicked, rocking the raft. "Whoa! Calm down! Your going to spring a…" Then, water shot out of the raft. "…leak" "What should I do!" "Come on, jump on my surfboard." She did and they watched as the raft capsized. "Whew that was close…" Tyler said. "Yeah your telling me…" He looked straight ahead and his face said it all. "This isn't good…" "What is?" Shinobu asked. Tyler pointed at the big wave that was coming toward them. "This is not good…this board can only support one person." He told her. "Wait! I got it! Just hold on to me." Shinobu put her arms around him and held on tight. "Here we go!" He started paddling up the wave. "Ok…slowly get up…and let's see if we can ride this wave back to shore…" "You think that's possible?" Shinobu said with concern. "Dunno…we're about to find out!" They both got up and started riding the wave. "Woohoo! This is great!" Shinobu yelled. "Yeah! I didn't think this would work!" Tyler said excitedly. "It's closing in on us!" She pointed as the wave was closing in front of them. They made a sharp turn and rode it all the way back to shore. "Whew…that was close huh Shinobu…" "Watch out!" "Huh? Wahhh!" The surfboard hit a rock and the two tumbled onto the coast. "Ow ow ow…you ok Shinobu?" She slowly got up. "Never better…"
They both walked back to the Beach House. "Man…what a ride huh?" "Yeah! That was great! First time on a surfboard!" "Heh, glad you enjoyed it…so what are you going to do from here on?" Shinobu thought about it for awhile. "That's a good question…probably going back to work by tomorrow." "Don't worry, I'll drop by as much as I can." They laughed together. "Hey look at that shell!" Shinobu pointed out. She bent over and picked it up. "Wow, that shell has a cool pattern on it." Tyler said, looking over her shoulder. "I got it!" He took the shell and turned his back on Shinobu. Then he turned around with the shell hooked on a line. "Ta-da! I mean a necklace!" "Wow, it's sooo pretty!" He looked at it and put it around Shinobu's neck. "Thanks Tyler…" "Hey, no problem!" They looked into each other's eye and slowly…they were about to kiss when they heard something. "What was that?" Shinobu said. "Good question…" They looked around. "I think it's coming from that bush." She pointed out. Tyler picked up a fairly large rock and threw it, full speed at the bush. "Ow! What the hell!" responded the bush. "Wait a minute…I know that voice!" Shinobu walked over and started searching through it. "Kitsune! Su! Sarah! Motoko! Naru?! You were all spying on me! Kyahh! You too Sempai!?" "Well, I was worried about you and well…" Keitaro said. "Um…am I missing something?" Tyler asked.

Preview of Chapter 3:
"Ahh…fireworks always seem to calm me down…" Keitaro sighed. Today was the annual summer festival. "I remember last year how I was so close to making up with Naru and seeing the fireworks together with her…instead, getting to see them up close and personal.." Keitaro just sat there. "Hope this year is better…"

"Shinobu! We need another round of fried rice!" Kitsune told her. "Roger! Man…I forgot how fun and exhausting this type of work is…" Shinobu stared up the stove and went to work. "Fried rice, up!" She placed the order on the counter. "YOur on fire today Shinobu! Motoko complemented, "Tell me when you need a break and I'll get someone to cover."

"Wow, you're the head chief, you must be really talented Shinobu." Tyler said to her as they walked towards the ocean. "O, it's just a skill I picked up while I stayed at the dorm…What do you do? I mean, you live at the beach, you must have a lot of skills that involves the ocean. "Well…I can swim and surf…and that's about it!" "You can surf?

"Hey Haruka…how come you never let us get the rest of the day off?"
Ahh…this is the life…nothing to do. Just lying here in this inflatable raft, not a care in the world…" Shinobu relaxed. "Hey Shinobu. What are you doing way out here in the line up?" Tyler's head hovered over her. "Tyler! Don't scare me like that! What do you mean line up?" Tyler, on his surfboard, pointed to the left. "Kyahhh! I drifted that far from shore! What am I going to do!" She panicked, rocking the raft. "Whoa! Calm down! Your going to spring a…" Then, water shot out of the raft. "…leak" "What should I do!" "Come on, jump on my surfboard." She did and they watched as the raft capsized. "Whew that was close…" Tyler said. "Yeah your telling me…" He looked straight ahead and his face said it all. "This isn't good…" "What is?"

Shinobu put her arms around him and held on tight. "Here we go!" He started paddling up the wave. "Ok…slowly get up…and let's see if we can ride this wave back to shore…" "You think that's possible?" Shinobu said with concern. "Dunno…we're about to find out!" They both got up and started riding the wave. "Woohoo! This is great!" Shinobu yelled. "Yeah! I didn't think this would work!" Tyler said excitedly. "It's closing in on us!" She pointed as the wave was closing in front of them. They made a sharp turn and rode it all the way back to shore. "Whew…that was close huh Shinobu…" "Watch out!" "Huh? Wahhh!" The surfboard hit a rock and the two tumbled onto the coast. "Ow ow ow…you ok Shinobu?" She slowly got up. "Never better…"
They both walked back to the Beach House. "Man…what a ride huh?" "Yeah! That was great! First time on a surfboard!" "Heh, glad you enjoyed it…so what are you going to do from here on?" Shinobu thought about it for awhile. "That's a good question…probably going back to work by tomorrow." "Don't worry, I'll drop by as much as I can." They laughed together. "Hey look at that shell!" Shinobu pointed out. She bent over and picked it up. "Wow, that shell has a cool pattern on it." Tyler said, looking over her shoulder. "I got it!" He took the shell and turned his back on Shinobu. Then he turned around with the shell hooked on a line. "Ta-da! I mean a necklace!" "Wow, it's sooo pretty!" He looked at it and put it around Shinobu's neck. "Thanks Tyler…" "Hey, no problem!" They looked into each other's eye and slowly…they were about to kiss when they heard something. "What was that?" Shinobu said. "Good question…" They looked around. "I think it's coming from that bush." She pointed out. Tyler picked up a fairly large rock and threw it, full speed at the bush. "Ow! What the hell!" responded the bush. "Wait a minute…I know that voice!" Shinobu walked over and started searching through it. "Kitsune! Su! Sarah! Motoko! Naru?! You were all spying on me! Kyahh! You too Sempai!?" "Well, I was worried about you and well…" Keitaro said. "Um…am I missing something?" Tyler asked.

Preview of Chapter 3:
"Ahh…fireworks always seem to calm me down…" Keitaro sighed. Today was the annual summer festival. "I remember last year how I was so close to making up with Naru and seeing the fireworks together with her…instead, getting to see them up close and personal.." Keitaro just sat there. "Hope this year is better…"
