Disclaimer: Yadda, yadda...don't own this. Lay claim to Gunnar and Joey.
A.N.- Sorry for the long delay between updates seeing as how my comp decided to crash and die every time even after I fixed it. The rest of my stories should be updated later on this week or the next.
Life at the Hinata Inn had become interesting to say the least with the entrance of Joey into the residences lives. Right now it was December and the resident ronins were at the moment doing a light review over their upcoming examinations for Tokyo U. While the trio was studying, Shinobu was preparing food for the residents while Joey sat on the counter and watched her work with Tama-chan resting on his head, Sarah and Suu were busy exploring the secret passages of the Hinata while Motoko and Gunnar were talking about each others fighting techniques.
"So you're saying that your assassin skills were derived from Iga Ninjutsu?" Asked Motoko as she walked besides Gunnar whom was currently tugging on some bandages on his fists.
"More or less." Said Gunnar.
"So what are the other skills of your school?"
"My schools techniques are elemental attacks and moves that are intended for a quick kill during assassination attempts."
"Doesn't Seta use your fighting style?"
"He does but his is the Ogre Branch."
"Ogre Branch?"
"His is more suited to overpowering hand-to-hand combat while I use speed to get up on people."
"Hmm."
"Heyas Gun-Gun!" Cheered Suu as she popped up from and opening in the floor and hit Gunnar with a hurricane kick.
"Yo cuz." Drawled Sarah as she climbed out of the hole.
"Ugh...why must it be a hurricane kick?" Groaned Gunnar.
"Because I used a butterfly kick on you this morning, and then I used a dropkick followed by a Mecha-Tama assault on ya three hours ago." Said Suu.
"You're insane."
"Ain't it the truth?" Said Sarah.
"Ugh, I'm gonna go see Naru now."
"So ya can get some hot nookie?" Asked Suu.
"SUU!" Exclaimed Gunnar.
"What with all the noises that you guys make I'm shocked at how just about everybody in this place can sleep." Lied Sarah as a sly grin crept on her face.
"Smith....." Said Motoko darkly.
"Well what do you know, I think Joey's calling, bye-bye." Said Gunnar as he ran away.
"Get back here damnit!"
"Cadet, Mission Complete." Smirked Sarah.
"Sir, yes sir!" Said Suu as she saluted.
-In the kitchen-
"Aunty Shinobu whatcha makin?" Asked Joey as he looked up at Shinobu.
"I'm making Shrimp Tempura." Said Shinobu.
"Tim-pura?"
"Close enough, here's one that's already done but be careful it still a bit hot."
"This is really good, much better than Naru-mama's rice balls."
"Thanks."
"Myuh." Said Tama-chan as she flew into the kitchen and landed on Joey's left shoulder.
"Ya want something ta eat also Tama-chan?"
"Myuh."
"Here." Said Joeyas he took some of the breading off of his shrimp and fed it to Tama-chan.
"Joey could you go and tell everyone that dinner will be ready shortly?" Asked Shinobu.
"Okay Aunty Shinobu."
-Keitaro's room-
"This exam's gonna be a breeze!" Exclaimed Keitaro.
"That's what you said last year." Said Naru.
"Well last year was a fluke, but now I'm positive that I'll pass for sure."
"Uh-huh."
"Come in." Said Keitaro as he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Naru-mama, Aunty Mutsu, Unca Kei dinner's gonna be done soon." Said Joey as he walked into the room.
"Okay Joey."
"Naru-mama are you gonna pass tha test?" Said Joey as he climbed into Naru's lap.
"I will Joey." Smiled Naru as she ruffled the boy's hair.
"Kay cuz Unca Hai-Hai said somtin about Daddy puttin' whipped cream and chocolate on ya and getting down if ya pass when he was talkin wit Unca Kei and Unca Shirai and Daddy on Sunday."
"Oh really?" Said Naru as she cracked her knuckles while casting a glance at Keitaro.
"Ara, ara Naru no need to be all violent now." Said Mutsumi.
"You're right...but I will get the four of you back for this later."
"Ugh...need medical attention..." Gasped Gunnar as he dragged himself into the room.
"Gunnar what happened?" Asked Keitaro.
"What else either it was Suu or Motoko." Deadpanned Naru.
"Motoko." Pointed out Mutsumi as the swordswoman charged into the room.
"Smith!" Yelled Motoko as she raised her sword above her head.
"Aunty Toko!" Cheered Joey.
"Muyh!" Greeted Tama-chan as she flew in front of Motoko.
"AUGGH DEMON TURTLE!"
"Muyh?"
"I'm confused Daddy." Said Joey as he cocked his head to the side.
"Don't worry Joey, all women are confusing when they get older just look at Mutsumi." Said Gunnar before a aura of immense anger washed over him.
"Would you like to repeat that?" Said Mutsumi darkly as Gunnar nearly pissed his pants.
"No."
"Okay." Beamed Mutsumi as her bubbly persona replaced her previous pissed self.
"Boy Mutsumi is scary when she's irritated." Gulped Keitaro.
"It seems as though Gunnar has the uncanny ability to piss people off." Said Naru.
"I'm pretty sure he'd make Jesus want to backhand him every now and then."
"Actually I don't doubt you two on that one." Chuckled Gunnar.
"Ara, ara I think we should go now, looks like......" Trailed off Mutsumi as she fell down.
"Hey Gunnar can you help me get her downstairs?" Asked Keitaro.
"Sorry Keitaro but he has his hands full." Teased Naru as she leapt into Gunnar's arms and stuck out her tongue.
"Buck up Bro, it'll be good muscle building for you seeing as how she carries around fifty pounds in each boob." Smirked Gunnar.
"Gunnar!" Yelled Naru as she pinched Gunnar's neck.
"What? Hey! Ouch that was my clavicle!"
"Moron your clavicle was nowhere near there!" Shouted Naru as she and Gunnar left the room.
"Daddy and Naru-mama are weird right Unca Kei?" Asked Joey as he looked up at Keitaro.
"Yeah."
"What did I miss?" Asked Mutsumi.
"Nothing special"
At the dinner table things were progressing nicely with the pseudo family. In other words Keitaro and Gunnar weren't being belted out through the roof but instead receiving a few slaps to the back of the neck.
"Hey Shinobu this is pretty good." Said Gunnar.
"Thanks." Said Shinobu.
"Much better than somebody's rice balls and curry." Said Keitaro before he was hit with a tea cup.
"You guys finished Christmas shopping yet?" Asked Sarah while looking at Keitaro and Gunnar.
"Almost." Replied the two men.
"In other words you two didn't even do a lick of shopping huh?" Said Kitsune.
"More or less." Said Gunnar.
"Well boys you don't want us women and lone child to be disappointed on Christmas morning now do you?"
"No..well you see...." Said Keitaro.
"Then get out there and get shopping!" Shouted all the women save Shinobu and Mutsumi as the two men were thrown out of the house with their shoes, jackets, and wallets.
"Women." Said Keitaro.
"Don't start, last time you said something like that Motoko beat you down with a whiffle bat." Said Gunnar.
"Don't remind me...so now we must go and get these damn presents so they won't kill us." Sighed Keitaro as he put on his jacket and shoes.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah....damn I hate shopping." Muttered Gunnar as he followed Keitaro.
