Two chapters and author comments in one in the chapter! In annoying announcer voice: Hello everyone! I've updated, and it's time to be amazed with my new plot teasers and good grammar! On with the fic!

Chapter 7

A few hours later, they arrived at the hotel, a large Sheraton with a pool and tennis courts. Kai had signed them into a large 3-room suite, and now everyone was running up a closed in flight of stairs to the hallway where their suite was located.
"Hiromi and I have dibs on the room with the TV!" Sayuri yelled, and they ran to the door, and Sayuri opened it, angry at what she saw.

Instead of the spacious living room with an adjoining hallway and other rooms that Sayuri had imagined, there was instead a small, cosy living room with a television, and one door, that supposedly led to another room. The girl stopped short. "Where is everyone supposed to sleep?!" she asked no one in particular.

"Shit! They shortchanged us again!" Kai fumed, "Oh well, we'll manage, I hope." He glowered at the 2 girls in front of him. "Oh, the poor widdle baby's not afwaid of the pwetty little giwls, is he?" Sayuri asked in sarcastic concern. "No I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of all the shampoo and junk that you'll clog up the bathroom with." He sneered, and Sayuri decided something.

"Well, actually, I'm going to sleep on the couch. I wouldn't sleep in the same room with you if my life depended on it!" "Oh, that's too bad. I heard that this place has 250-thread count sheets. I would have slept on the couch! Oh well, I guess you'll be stuck with the brown blanket in the closet." The boy opened the closet, and up on the shelf above the coat hangers was the brown blanket he had predicted, and a few extra pillows. She glared at him furiously and he just smirked, knowing that he had defeated her in this battle.

Meanwhile, everyone was staring at them with a mixture of confusion and amusement. "Why do they seem to hate each other so much?" They all wondered. But right now, they needed to be focused on the task at hand. A quick scout of the other room revealed 3 beds, but they had 8 people! Eventually, after much grunting and fuming on Kai's part, he got one bed to himself. Ray and Max would sleep on one bed, and Tyson and Chief would sleep on another. (A/N: They're going to sleep on the opposite sides of the bed, in sleeping bags! No bad ideas, people!). "But what about Hiromi?" Tyson asked. They all looked at her, and Kai grabbed her arm.

"Hello! I'm a part of this group too!" she yelled, as Kai dragged her and her things out of the room and into the living room. "You're sleeping out here, wench, and that's final!" he dumped her down and walked into the other room to unpack. "Humph!" the girl sat obstinately on the floor, and looked at Sayuri who just offered a rye smile and a "Welcome to the club, kid." The teen laughed a bitter laugh and pulled her hair up into a ponytail. "I've been left out before you know. You're like, the only person who has ever really been nice to me. Except.................... But it was so long ago, I wonder what he's doing now............." The blue-haired teen drifted off into a strange trance, and her eyes slipped out of focus.

It had been 10 minutes. Ten long minutes for Hiromi, because no one was paying attention to her. The boys, because they were making lunch, and Sayuri, because she was in her strange trance type thing. "Say-chan!" she whined, "What are you doing? The boys are making ham mac and cheese for lunch. Don't you want any?" Suddenly the girl's eyes started coming into focus as if she was some blind person traveling out of a dark tunnel. The girl blinked.

"What! They're making ham mac and cheese for lunch? But we don't have any food! How can they do that?" Sayuri asked in confusion. "That's the problem!" Hiromi said with a smile. Then they both heard a huge thud. "What was that?" Sayuri jumped up and into the kitchen and found Tyson in a faint on the floor. "What's wrong with him?" she gave the boys a quizzical look.

"Oh, he just gets like this when there's no food for lunch." Ray said, as if it was a normal occurrence. "Oh? Is there anything I can do to help you guys make lunch, then?" she asked. "How about you go buy groceries, and make lunch for us?" Kai suggested with an evil glint in his eye. "Oh, no I really don't think............" Kai shoved some money in her pocket and shoved her out the door. "THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY!" she finished, out of everyone's hearing. "Yeesh, that stupid b*****d! What did I ever do to him?" She growled and grumbled down the stairs and outside to find a market.

Later, she staggered to the hotel with the groceries, and walked up three agonizing floors with the many heavy bags.

"I'm Ba-ack!" she announced as she arrived to a seemingly empty room "And Kai, since /i making lunch, there're going to have to be some compromises!!! And Tyson's definitely not going to like them!" She took out a bit each of the corn, carrots, broccoli, and bok choy and diced them into a large frying pan. Then she took some tofu and sliced it in as well. She heated up the stove and put away the other groceries. As she poured in a few tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and began to mix the combination, she thought **Tyson is /i not going to like this**

Yes! I've finally finished! Sorry for the long wait guys, but I was really busy, and well, this is all I can say: TEACHERS ARE EVIL, I TELL YOU! EEEVIL!!!! DIE HOMEWORK! DIE!

Heyz people! I'm back again! *Several people in the distance start muttering* Hey! I'm not that annoying, am I? N e wayz, sorry about last time, stupid ff.net wouldn't take my italics tags, and my spacing didn't work! I guess it doesn't like Microsoft Word. *pout* Here are my reviewers for last chappie:

"AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tyson yelled in agony as he glimpsed the browned tofu and vegetables. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO THAT PORK?" he asked. "It's not pork, it's tofu, silly!" Sayuri giggled and put the dish down on the dining table, where the BladeBreakers were waiting for lunch. "And now, my world famous, tofu and broccoli stir fry!" She was greeted with a mixture of amazement and disturbed looks. She was surprised and felt a bit embarrassed, because no one looked like they'd eaten tofu before, from the looks they were giving her. "Thank Kai, not me!" she cried suddenly, and sat down with a blush on her face. Taking a few ladlefuls, she began to eat.

"Mmmmmm-mmmmmmm, this is sooo good. I think I've outdone myself......" she pigged out on the delicious meal on her plate. Everyone sweat-dropped. She looked up, almost done, and saw everyone staring at her, their plates still empty (except Kai's, of course, he's a vegetarian too). "Geez! Do I have to serve everyone, too? I'm telling you, Kai, I'm beginning to have second thoughts about becoming the official cook! These lazy bosses are just sitting here letting the food get cold, a waste of money, I say!" she winked at the boy, who was suddenly beset by glares and growls from everyone. "Yes, everyone, Sayuri is the cook." He said in an exasperated tone, "The official cook." Sayuri gave everyone a few ladlefuls of the stir- fry. "Do we have to eat it?" Tyson whined. Sayuri bristled. "I'm the chef, I cook the food, and you're all eating what I cook! Unless you want to starve, that is." She glared at them all, and Kenny hid under the table. "Fine, fine, I'll eat it." Tyson obliged, and then pigged out on the tofu and vegetables placed on his plate. He was disgusting. "EEEEEEEWWWW! TYYYYSON!" Sayuri hid her face in her hands. "I've created a monster........" she moaned.

Well finally, I've finished this chapter! It's a miracle I've lasted this long! Don't worry, I'm not going to stop this fic, because I really disapprove of authors starting a fic and then stopping it cuz they didn't get enough reviews or something. You're supposed to be doing the fic for your enjoyment, not the readers!............... Well, kind of the readers enjoyment, I guess, and.........It /b nice to get reviews! I'll go off and think this over............. 'Fore I forget, read my bio in my user lookup. I changed it! L8r Dayz! Bookie
