Jina woke up early that morning, looked at her clock, and decided she probably couldn't go back to sleep. She pulled a robe on, and started wandering in the dark in hopes of finding the kitchen. She finally happened across what she thought might be the kitchen. She pushed the door open and stumbled in sleepily. She saw all four of the guys, wide awake, and a woman with strange red hair and a very…very…short dress.

"I only know one kind of woman that dresses like that…" She commented. "Look guys, just because I made a mistake…you didn't have to prove how wrong I was by hiring a…never mind…I'm probably just having a bad dream…"

With that she wandered back out, went back to bed, and promptly fell asleep.

"You still sure our secret's safe?" Aya asked, raising an eyebrow.

Youji looked at the others. "She thinks it's a dream…let's just wait and see, ok guys?"

He heard a robotic meow, and saw Jina's cat.

"What is that?" Aya asked, glaring at the toy.

"Just a toy…so, anyway…about this sign we're putting up…"

---------

Jina opened her eyes, shielding them from the bright sunlight. She quickly dressed, and went to get some breakfast. She was able to find the kitchen, and came in to all four guys eating cereal.

"I had the weirdest dream last night…but you defiantly don't want to hear about it…" She commented.

Youji fixed himself a bowl, and went to get a cup of coffee. Jina took her chance, sitting down in his chair, she began munching on the cereal.

"Hey…what the—Jina-chan!"

"Thanks for fixing me some breakfast, Onii-san!" She smiled, hugging him.

"I'm only Onii-san when you think you're in trouble." Youji grumbled. He fixed another bowl, and pulled up another chair.

"So…what are the plans today?" She asked, finishing up.

"Same as always…sell flowers." Omi smiled.

"Oh, I'd better hang the sign." Ken said as he stood, picked up a large sign, and started for the store front.

"Help wanted." Jina read aloud. "But I'm here…I can help…"

"We'll need more help." Youji said.

"We get lots of customers everyday, so we decided we needed a couple new people." Omi added.

"Ok then." She smiled, and began clearing the table since everyone was finished. "I just remembered…since I'll be in the flower shop, I should wear something else. I think I've got an older pair of jeans…I'll be right back."

She stood and headed back for her room, stooping to pick up her robotic cat as she went.

"What was that about?" Omi wondered out loud. "Those clothes looked ok…"

"I still don't trust her…" Aya commented.

Jina changed clothes, then quickly opened a small compartment on the robotic cat. She removed a tiny CD disk, and then pulled a laptop from her bag. Once she had it turned on, she inserted the disk.

'You there, Schu-kun?' She thought. She wasn't sure if he could hear her or not. There was no answer. 'I'll tell him later.'

She watched the footage, put the CD back in the robotic cat, and started back downstairs. As she emerged, Youji tossed her an apron. She put it on, then turned to the others.

"Just tell me where you want me." She smiled

"Here it comes guys…get ready…" Ken warned before flipping the sign over to read "Open"

They were soon swamped with fangirls applying for the job…or buying flowers…or both.

"I want to buy these flowers." A young girl with blue hair smiled. "Do you think Omi-san will like them?"

"Sure he will…" Jina sweatdropped at the girl. "But wouldn't you want to get him something bigger?"

"You're right, I should." She walked off and returned a moment later with a plant she could barely carry. "I'll take this one."

She rang the girl up. "I'll make sure Omi-san gets it."

"Here's a tip…you've been a lot of help."

The girl left, pleased with herself. Jina put most of the money in the cash register, but pocketed the rest.

"What are you doing?" Aya asked, suddenly appearing behind her.

"She gave me a tip…I was just putting the tip away."

"We don't believe in tips around here." Aya glared at her until she put her tip in the cash register.

She wandered off towards where Youji stood, grumbling. "It's not like my manga is much of a living…tightwad could let me keep my tip…"

"Nothing personal…" Aya said as he passed her. "No one around here gets paid per say…"

"We don't?" Youji asked. "Then how'd I get a convertible and you get a Porsche?"

"A convertible?" She repeated. "Hey, Youji-kun…mind if I do a little shopping later?"

"Only if I'm the one driving." He replied, smiled at his sister, then turned his attention to the girls in front of him.

"Maybe it would be a good idea if you let her go shopping." Omi said.

"I'm sure she doesn't want to sit around here while we try and find someone to hire…" Ken added.

Youji blinked at them a moment, then sighed. "I suppose you're right…we can't have Jina-chan getting bored now can we?"

He reluctantly handed over his keys, and Aya reluctantly handed over some money.

"Arigato, Youji-kun." She gave him a kiss on the cheek before starting for the door. A moment after leaving she returned, tossing an apron to Youji. "I almost left wearing it."

Jina happily browsed through the racks at the local mall. She was having trouble deciding between a black top and a purple top.

'I'd go with the purple.'

'What are you doing?'

'Offering some advice, that's all.'

'When you do stuff like that, I feel uncomfortable for hours…especially when I have to change clothes.'

'I don't feel uncomfortable at all.'

She bet that, wherever he was, he was smirking right now.

'What do you want?'

'An update.'

'I tried to give you one earlier, but couldn't reach you.'

'Of course you couldn't…I'm the special one after all.'

'If by 'special' you mean mentally handicapped, than I'd have to agree.'

'Very witty, Kitten…one of the many things I love about you.'

'Do you want to hear my news or not?' She thought, annoyed.

'Go right ahead Kitten.'

'They're going on a big mission tonight…something about a medical lab. I think a terrorist group is trying to manufacture a virus to take out all of Japan's political leaders.'

'I'm not paying you to think.'

'You're not paying me at all.'

'Well if that's all you've got…'

'Goodbye, Schu-kun.'

'Oh…about the tops…I'm not so sure…why don't you try them on, then I'll decide.'

'Goodbye…Schu-kun…!'

'Ja, Kitten.'

She shook her head and wandered on shopping.

When Jina returned to the Koneko no Sumi ie Flower Shop the first thing she noticed was that the shop had closed, and if not for the key Youji had given her, she would've been locked out. Once inside she noticed everyone seemed to be gone. She tossed Youji's keys on his bed, and wondered momentarily if she should tape her receipts to Aya's door, if nothing else, just to bug him. She decided against it, and was heading for her own room when she spotted Ken heading off in the general direction of the kitchen.

"Hey Ken-san!" She hailed. "How'd the hireing go? Find anyone?"

"Huh? Oh, hi, Jina-san." He smiled, although he looked a little surprised. "We decided maybe you would be enough help after all…too many fangirls applied…"

Jina laughed. "Say, where is everyone?"

"Everyone else? Oh, they decided to head out for a bite to eat."

"You didn't go?"

"Nah, I wasn't too hungry."

"Um…how did they get there?" She asked after a moment. "I mean…I say Aya-san's Porsche...and I had Youji-kun's car…"

"They walked…" He replied. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try and find Tamoshii."

She headed into her room, put her bags down, and saw the black Siberian with the red bow curled up on her bed. She picked him up and started for the door.

"Hey Ken-san, I found Tamo-chan…"

But Ken was no where to be found. She shook her head, and put the cat back down. "Must've left for that mission…" she decided. She yawned and realized just how tiresome shopping could be. She changed, and climbed into bed. She was slightly surprised Schu-kun hadn't contacted her as he usually did before she went to bed, but decided it was best to count that as a rare blessing.
