American Yamani 1/2

Author's Notes: All the characters belong to me, but the concepts of the "accursed" springs and "the curse" belong to Rumiko Takahashi. (Please don't sue me!)

"Dad! What time is the Yamani family coming again?" Kayla Johnson asked. She walked out of her room to reveal herself as a short, yet slender 14- year old. Her long, blonde curls radiated from the sunlight of a window, while her pearl blue eyes sparkled on that summer day. Tight, torn jeans really magnified her gorgeous figure, while her pink tank top revealed some cleavage.

"They should be coming any minute now!" Mr. Johnson answered. He smiled at the thought of his old college buddy, Steve Yamani, coming to live with them. The man owned a successful insurance company allowing him to possess a large quantity of property. With it, he hired workers to build him a five-bedroom three-story house. His house had enough room to hold another family.

"Hey Kayla, David, Mike! I need to talk to all of you!" Mr. Johnson demanded. All three children hustled to their father's command. Kayla stood next to her twin brother, David. Although he possessed greater height than his sister, his hair contained the exact color has his sister. His eyes contained that sparkling appearance just like his sister, but instead of a smile, he wore a slight frown. Next to him stood his little brother, Michael. The 10 year old appeared extremely thin and short compared to the average boy his age. He never ate much, caring little about his health. Although his body appeared thin, his head contained a bushel of dark, brown hair. " What's up, dad?" Michael asked innocently.

"Our guests should be arriving shortly. Now, I expect all of you to be on your best behavior! Steve is an old friend of mine. I recently heard news that his house had been burned to the ground. The causes are unknown, but what's important is that I volunteered to house him until he saves enough money to buy himself another house. He will be staying with us. While he is here, I expect all of you to treat him with respect, is that understood?" Mr. Johnson explained. He had doubt whether he could trust Michael. The little boy had been known to cause trouble at his school.

"Yes dad," all three children replied.

"DING DONG!" the doorbell rang.

"Aw! That must be Steve! I'll answer it!" Mr. Johnson raced to the door. He opened the door, only to be rushing back to his children.

"Dad? What's wrong?" Kayla asked, finding it strange that his father had run away instead of greeting his old friend.

"Is this the place, dad?" a male voice asked outside the door. The three children and parent could hear a primate's grunt.

"Okay then. Hello? Mr. Johnson? Are you there?" the male voice asked. The door could be heard swinging open and footsteps could be heard.

"Dad! It's like very rude to not say hello!" Kayla complained.

"Kayla, you'll see why I'm not saying hello to them." Mr. Johnson replied, his voice growing tense.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Michael curiously asked.

"Oh! There he is! Hello Mr. Johnson!" a blonde haired male greeted. He stood 6 ft. 5 in. tall, and shirtless. Torn jeans were worn tightly around his muscular body, making Kayla blush.

Along with the tall man, an ape, eagle, and a golden retriever were present.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Mr. Johnson asked, only growing tenser at the sight of the three animals and tall man.

"Oh! I'm Katherine Yamani! Nice to meet you!" the male greeted, shaking hands with the shocked Mr. Johnson.

'Katherine? Isn't that a girl's name?' David thought, finding it suspicious that a man would have such a feminine name.

"Yamani? Any chance you are related to Steve Yamani?" Mr. Johnson questioned.

"Why yes! He's my dad! In fact, he's standing right behind me!" Katherine pointed to the ape.

"Huh? Dad! Is this a joke? When you said Steve was a friend of yours, I thought he was a person, not an ape!" David complained.

"Yes! He was a person the last time I saw him! This doesn't make sense!" Mr. Johnson began to panic. His hands folded into fists as he started to attempt to make sense of the whole situation.

"Well, I guess we should entertain them while they are here. So, what's a hot guy like you having a name like Katherine?" Kayla asked seductively as one of her hands stroked the man's muscular chest. She stared into his ocean blue eyes, and smiled.

"Um.well.I'm" was the only words the man could voice. He began to grown nervous with a red blush streaming across his face.

"Stop it, Kayla! We're in a weird situation, and all you want to do is flirt?" David forcefully pulled Kayla's hand away from Katherine 's chest. After allowing his sister to retreat to her father, he moved his attention to Katherine. "I'm sorry about my sister! Please, don't mind her! You look all sweaty! Why don't I start a bath for you!" David offered.

"Really? Thanks!" Katherine smiled. The ape slapped Katherine on the cheek.

"What did you do that for, dad?"

The ape tried communicating, but unfortunately, Katherine could not understand the primitive language.

"I'm sorry dad, but the guy offered it to me! Don't worry. You can get one too!" Katherine winked, making the ape smile.

"The bath's ready!" David announced. Katherine ran with incredible speed to the bathroom. He shut the bathroom door immediately.

"Hey! The guy forgot his towel!" David noticed. He walked to the closet, and chose a green forest towel. He turned the knob, but it wouldn't open.

'The guy's obviously wants his privacy, but he'll need this. I'll just get the key to the lock.' He thought.

The teenager raced to the key cabinet. He grabbed the bathroom key that was needed, and walked back.

After applying the key to the door, he turned the knob and opened the door.

"Hey! You forgot your to." David started to say, only to stare in shock as a naked Japanese girl was scrubbing herself clean. She turned her attention to him, only to scream at eye contact with David. He immediately dropped the towel, and sprinted to his father as if a killer was chasing after him.

"What's all the screaming about?" his father demanded.

"Um...um." David whispered, his face growing red. His voice began to fade, and he struggled to speak.

"PERVERT!!!" a female scream ignited as a shampoo bottle hit David in the back. He turned to see the same Japanese girl wrapped in the green towel he had dropped previously.

"Dad! What the hell is going on?" Kayla demanded..

"Don't worry everyone! I'll explain everything!" a Japanese male volunteered. He stood behind the kitchen counter, naked and wet.
