CHAPTER THREE: SETTLING IN
Now that Gabriel has been officialy introduced to all the other residents he decides to take a look at the grounds of his new home. He takes a tour of the outside first "Wow the scenery here is very beautiful and the sakura petals drifting in the wind are so calming. I wonder if this is what heaven is like?" he thinks to himself. After awhile he comes across Keitaro as he is cleaning the windows.
"Hello Keitaro do you need any help?" he asks. Keitaro turns to him and speaks "Oh hi Gabriel thanks for the offer but thats fine I"ve got it, after all it's my job as manager to do this not yours." Then Keitaro realises something " Oh man I haven't had you sign the lease papers for a room yet. I am such an idiot." he says "That's quite alright Keitaro you can do that later I'm in no hurry, I'll just take a look around until your ready." Gabriel says. "Well that's good then 'll come find you later and we'll have you set up in no time." Keitaro tells him.
Gabriel continues on his tour of the Hinata and soon makes his way to the deck where Shinobu is currently hanging the laundry. Gabriel stands silently watching her, until he decides to speak "Hello Shinobu how are you doing?" he says. She turns around and smiles at him "I'm fine and how are you?" she says. "Good I've just been taking a tour of the Hinata." he says " So what do you think of it so far?" she asks.
"I like it , it sort of reminds me of my home." he says, "How does it remid you of your home?" she asks. "Well for starters the woods surrounding the building, my home is surrounded by woods to and the same calm atmosphere as well, though I wish we had cherry trees the bloosoms would be very beautiful there." he says. Shinobu giggles at this "I hate to tell you this but it's not always this calm here, trust me." she says, "What do you mean?" he asks "Don't worry you'll see soon enough." she says.
"Well until I do you don't mind if I help do you?" he asks, Shinobu blushes "Sure if you really want to." she says. As the two hang the clothes out they here something "Myuh." they turn aruond and see Tama the Hinata's pet turtle. Gabriel looks quite surprised at the sight of a flying turtle " Why is that turtle flying?" he asks. "Oh that's just Tama she's the Hinata's pet she is a rare hot spring turtle, she's really nice so don't worry." she says.
" I never said I was worried it's just I've seen alot but this is a first even for me." he says. "Tama this is Gabriel, Gabriel this is Tama he's a new resident here say hello." Shinobu says, "Myuh!" says Tama while raising a fliper in a greeting. "Hello to you to Tama it's a pleasure to meet you." Gabriel says with a smile. Tama flies over to Gabriel and lands on his shoulder and nuzzels him. "She seems to have taken a liking to you." Shinobu says, "Well I'm glad, I like you to Tama your the cutest turtle I have ever seen." Gabriel says while peting her. "Myuh." Tama says in response.
"Well you two I need to go get started on lunch so I'll see you in a bit." Shinobu says but as she turns to leave she fails to notice the clothes basket she had brought and trips on it, however with lightning reflexes Gabriel catches her in his arms. Their faces are mere inches apart and their closeness causes them both to blush. "Don't worry I've got you Shinobu, remember I said you're safe with me." he says, "Um thank you Gabriel but I really need to go now." she says as she quickly heads downstairs.
Gabriel simply stands there still blushing "Man she's so cute, I can't belive I was holding her like that." he thinks, "Ah man I need to cool down for a bit maybe I should keep looking around the Hinata. Yeah that should do it." he says to himself. "So Tama you want to come with me while I get to know this place?" he says. "Myuh" replies Tama, " Guess I'll take that as a yes." he says.The walk with around the Hinata with Tama in tow is relitively uneventful, until lunch that is.
At lunch Gabriel enters the dining room and takes a seat that just happens to be inbetween Shinobu and Motoko. "Well wasn't expecting to be between them but I am getting to sit next to Shinobu." he thinks. "So how was your tuor of the Hinata today?" asks Keitaro, "Oh it was quite nice acually I will definately enjoy staying here." Gabriel says. "Good after lunch I'll give you the lease papers to sign and show you to your room ok." says Keitaro, "That sounds fine to me." Gabriel replies.
"Hey Gabriel, will you begin showing me how to use a whip after you've signed the lease papers and is shown to your room?" Su asks, "Sure I will I said I would and I always keep my word but be ready this won't be easy you know." he says. "Don't you worry I'll be ready for anything you through at me!" she says while pumping her fist into the air. "Good I like your enthusiasm." Gabriel says.
Once everyone is done eating Shinobu begins to collect the plates. "Oh here Shinobu I'll help you with the dishes." says Keitaro, but being that this is Keitaro when he gets up he promptly trips landing right in Naru's breasts. "Keitaro, you idiot!" she yells while sending him through the roof with one of her trademark Naru Punches. "Oh no Keitaro! Why did you do that Naru?" Gabriel yells, "Cause he's a pervert!" she says. "Don't worry it happens all the time, besides Keitaro is immortal." points out Su.
"That's beside the point it was obvious he tripped, so that was toatally uncalled for. Anyway your supposed to be his girlfriend Naru you shouldn't treat him like that." Gabriel says. "Your right I shouldn't but it's just an old habit." says Naru, "Well I guess I'll help with the dishes instead." Gabriel says. "Man I guess that's what Shinobu meant by it not always being so calme here." he thinks, so Gabriel assists Shinobu with the dishes.
Once Keitaro returns from his little trip he and Gabriel go to the manager's room to fill out the necessary paperwork for leasing a rooom. "Well there all done. Welcome to the Hinata your going to be in room 202 Gabriel." says Keitaro, "Thank you once again for letting me stay here Keitaro." Gabriel says with a bow. "I guess I should go now and start giving Su her lessons on how to use a whip." Gabriel says "Well have fun and good luck,you'll need it." keitaro says.
So Gabriel and Su went outside to start her lessons. "Alright before we do anything we are going to do some stretching exercises so we don't pull any muscles." he says "Ok teach whatever you say." replies Su. After the exercise Gabriel begins to show Su one the most basic things with using a whip,how not to hit yourself while useing it.
Their first lesson is mostly this. "I hope that wasn't to boring for you Su but it's important for you to know how to not hurt yourself or others by accident with the whip." he said "That's ok it was pretty fun I thought.".
"I'm glad you had fun actually I think you should be able to learn quite easily. You're quite lithe and agile from what I've seen so that will help you aloght in the long run." he says with a smile. "Anyway I need to go take my things to my new room and unpack before dinner ok so I'll see you later." je says while leaving to go back inside, "Okies see you later Gabriel!" Su yells.
Gabriel gets his bag from Keitaro's room and heads for his room when he arrives he notices who he is staying next to, Shinobu. "What a coincidence." he thinks to himself. As he enters the room he just stands there for a moment and takes the sight all in. After a few minutes he begins unpacking his things. If someone was watching him right now they would be amazed at all the stuff he has in the duffle bag.
Besides a few pairs of clothes he has is all manner of what would be to most people antiques. He begins placing them on a shelf on one of the walls, they include a pair of chess pieces one black the other white, a crystal skull, an old water jar, a small hammer, an ornate sword, two jars of incense one red the other blue, a statue of an ancient god, and a wolf's foot.
He places more things on another shelf including a box inside of which are six rings and an earring, there are also three diffrent necklaces, two armbands, a glove with a place to set something, a jade mask, a brooch in the shape of a heart,and a coin with the number 10 on it. Besdie it he places a small patchwork doll, and a charm in the shape of a tanuki.
In his closet he places his clothes along with a blood red cape, and a belt with Japanese kanji on it. In a corner of the room he places suite of golden plate armor. "Well I think that should just about do it. Everything is put up." he says "Now I think it's about time for dinner." he said as he leaves the room.
Gabriel is the first to arive for dinner, soon after Keitaro and Naru arrive followed by Su and Motoko, with Kitsune comeing in last. Unlike lunch dinner goes by with no unexpected happenings. "That was a lovely meal Shinobu, your cooking is better than any I've ever tasted, even my mom's." Gabriel comments. This causes Shinobu to blush "Thank you very much,It's nice of you to say so." she says. "So Motoko are you ready for our training session?" Gabriel asks "Yes of course I'm ready we will meet out back in ten minutes be ready I won't go easy on you." she says "Nor shall I." he responds.
Ten minutes pass and everyone is gathered outside to watch the training match between the two warriors. Gabriel arives after preparing a few things in his room, Motoko arrives at about the same time. keitaro steps out between them "Ok you two I want a good clean fight and try not to do to much damage to the yard." he said "Very well." Gabriel and Motoko say in unison. "Alright then, Let's Get It On!" Keitaro yells and then returns to his seat.
Motoko starts out with a series of quick slashes with her sword but Gabriel either dodges or blocks them. "Come on you can do better than that can't you?" Gabriel asks "Just you watch Belmont,I haven't even warmed up yet!" Motoko replies with a smirk on her face. "Secret Technique Rock Spliting Sword!" she yells as a wave of enrgy comes toward Gabriel while tearing uop the ground but at the last moment he does a double jump high in to the air,
"Nice try but now it's my turn!" he yells as his foot is engulfed in energy as he executes an axe kick. Motoko barely dodges out of the way in time, but as she turns to face Gabriel he is already on the offensive as he strikes her with his Vertical High attack following after with a Rising Shot and ending with the Energy Blast. "So how'd you like my techniques?" he says, "They are very impressive indeed." she replies as she gets up. 'However you have yet to see the true power of the God's Cry School!" she says.
"Take this, Ultimate Technigue Shin Lightning Slash!" she yells as a lightning bolt strikes causing a large sphere of energy to radiate from the blast point. "Oh crap she's going all out, I'd better move while I can!" Gabriel thinks to himself as he runs from the blast at apparently inhuman speed just barely missing the attack. When the dust settles Gabriel is not in the large hole caused by Motoko's attack. "Where did he go?" Motoko thinks to herself. Suddenly she senses something but not soon enugh.
She is hit three times by Gabriels whip "Frezze!" he yells as the last strike connects, she then feels the overbearing cold and can't move as she drops to her knees. "I hope that cooled you down a bit. Now do you give up?" he says, "Yes I give up." she says sounding depressed. "Hey don't be so upset you're the first person other than my dad that could give me a good challenge, if anything you should be happy." he says as he gives her his hand to help her to her feet.
"Sorry she says it's just I'm not used to losing fights other than to my older sister or to Seta, but I am quite glad that I have someone to train with who is so skilled." she says now with a smile on her face. "I do have something I want ask you.How did you evade the Shin Lightning Slash and how did you make your whip emit that cold?" "Ah well you see I used a magical relic to make my self faster so I could run from the blast. As for the whip emitting the cold well you see when Leon went into the castle he fought and defeated three elementals, lighning, fire, and ice and added their essence to the Whp of Alchemy. So I can imbue the whip with the power of lightning, fire, or ice."
"I see that would make your whip a very versatile weapon." she says "Yeah those abilities are very handy against monsters that are vulnerable to a certain element." he replies. "Wow you two that was such a cool fight!" yells Su as she runs up to them, "Neither of you are hurt badly are you?" Shinobu asks with concern. "I'm fine though Motoko my remain rathernum feeling for an hour or so." Gabriel says. "So Motoko you want to spar together from now on?" he asks, "Yes I would like that very much." she says with a blush.
Everyone goes back inside after the fight is done and goes to either theie room or to the bath to get cleaned up and then go to bed. After Gabriel has his bath he returns to his room but can't sleep. So he decides to go to the roof for a while he takes a flute with him. Once on the roof he begins to play a very somber and peacful song, his playing can be heard by all the tenants of the Hinata and it gives them a peacful feeling as they listen.
After the song ends the other residents soon fall asleep. Gabriel then stands up and looks at the moon wondering just what things will happen to him while he stays here.
"Good night everyone and may you all have pleasent dreams this night." he whispers as he smiles contently before he heads back inside to go to bed.
