Authors Note: First, thanks for all the reviews, it helped me a lot to clear the ideas and I actually had to apologise in advance for any grammar and spelling mistake, because I´m an autodidact in english, so...

Both the girls looked at Haruka still in disbelief while she lit a cigarette.
"Well, why don´t both of you go inside and gather the others in the main hall and try to calm yourselves down? We´ll explain everything there." said Haruka.
"Erm..uhn... Okay..." said Naru.
As Motoko and Naru walked inside Hinata Sou still trying to process the idea, Shinobu and Haruka was helping Keitaro to stand up.
"What´s the matter with those two?" asked Keitaro "They didn´t even tryed to hear me."
Haruka and Shinobu looked to each other face.
"You better get used to it." said Haruka "They´re normaly like that."
"Sorry that I couldn´t help you, Sempai." said Shinobu with sad in her face.
"That´s ok, Shinobu-chan, I´ve already said that I would find out by myself." said Keitaro with a smile trying not to worry Shinobu "But I never thought that could be like that." he added.
"Thank you, Sempai." replied Shinobu now with a smile in her face. "I´ll join in the main hall after I´ll store this food."
Shinobu ran inside the Hinata Sou with the food, as Haruka looked to Keitaro.
"Well, shall we go inside?" said Haruka with the same neutral face.
"I guess that won´t happen again now, right?" said Keitaro with an awkward expression. "So, I guess that ok..."
Haruka and Keitaro started heading to Hinata Sou with a slow pace. As they reached the door Keitaro fell a chilly sensation behind the door.
"After you, Haruka-san." said Keitaro.
Then Haruka apened the door and right behind her, was Keitaro that notice the cold glare of Naru and Motoko, but Keitaro just ignored it.
"Man, they´re really upset..." thought Keitaro "I don´t know what my life will be from now..."
"Well, well... Now everybody, let me introduce him" said Haruka " This is Keitaro Urashima, my nephew and he´s going to be the new manager of Hinata Sou from now."
"Uhn... I´m Keitaro Urashima, nice to meet you." said Keitaro with a stern face.
"Yay!! New playmate!" said the foreign girl breaking the silence.
"What are you saying Su?! I´m not going to allow him to be here!" said Naru.
"Agreed. It´s impossible a man being the manager of a girls dormitory, it´s inapropriated." Motoko said coldly.
"But all of you are going to accept." interrupted Haruka "This were Grandma´s decision, plus it´s hard to me being the manager and at the same time run the tea shop, so..."
"Since it´s Grandma´s decision, I´ll accept, and plus he looks cute." replied the woman with short hair with a grin.
"What are you saying, Kitsune?!!" exclaimed Naru "He´s a man, and a pervert!!"
With that´s words a vein in Keitaro´s forehead appeared and he started to remember the early events, and only Shinobu that were looking at him, perceived.
"Auu, Sempai is becoming angry." thought Shinobu.
"That´s right, I won´t allow perverts here, it could be a dishonour." added Motoko
Haruka also perceiveing that Keitaro was angry took a step aside and with Motoko´s words Keitaro reached the edge of his patience and exploded in anger.
"NOW THAT´S ENOUGH!!" shouted Keitaro.
With his words everybody startled and became surprised by Keitaro´s attitude, even Haruka that never saw Keitaro that angry, and all of then became silent and Keitaro realising that he cought the atention of all started to speak with an angry tone.
"First of all, I´M NOT A PERVERT!!" shouted Keitaro "Where you two got that idea?!" he said looking to Naru and Motoko, and then just looking to Naru "You don´t even let a chance to explain myself! Your parents didn´t teached nothing about education to you?!" now looking to Motoko "And you... dishonour?" said in a mocking tone "You should know about honour more than everyone here! Where´s the honour attacking a unarmed person that you didn´t even let tell my side of story as if being a man give you the reason to disregard all my words!"
After all that quick and angered speech Keitaro started to breath heavily and Naru and Motoko without arguments just looked down, and everyone else is now looking to Keitaro with aware. Now looking more calm Keitaro spoke again.
"Well, I´m going to be the new manager here and even after all this I´ll do my best" said him.
"So it´s settled." said Haruka. "Keitaro, all informations that you could need it´s in the manager´s room." with that she started to make her way to the tea shop.
And after that Keitaro went to the manager room to see what he had to do in the Hinata Sou, Shinobu went to the kitchen to make the dinner, Naru still a little shocked went to her room to try to study (but she couldn´t concentrate after all, with Keitaro words ringing in her head), Motoko headed to the roof to pratice, Suu was gone to her room to work in an invention and Kitsune was just drinking sake in her room.
While Keitaro were making a schedule to his new job, a book cought his attention, was the data of all the residents of Hinata Sou, and then he started to read it and think about everyone.
"First one is Mitsune Konno a.k.a. Kitsune... well, she looks more reasonable than the other two, next one is Naru Narusegawa... let´s see, she´s pretty but with a really bad temper and with habit to not listen to the others, that could be really dangerous for me, better watch my step. And the next one is Kaolla Su... huh? Unknown country? And likes to make inventions... She´s sure looks energetic and inocent, but I guess that I´ll have to pray that her inventions won´t hurt me... The next... Motoko Aoyama, according to this book she´s here to train herself... well, she´s also pretty, but if she´s a kendoist she was suppose to have another attitude, perhaps it´s just me, or she have some problems cought in her mind that won´t allow her to go much further with her tecnique? If not why she would hate men so much?... Nah, I won´t waste my time now thinking about it now. Last one is Shinobu Maehara, looks like she likes cooking and she do it very well by the good smell coming from the kitchen... well, here says that she have problems with her family... I guess the things aren´t going very well between her parents... she´s cute, and somehow she´s fond about me, but I really don´t know why for now, perhaps the time will say it..." Keitaro was thinking in the manager room, but he were interrupted by a knocking in his room.
'knock, knock.'
"Huh? What? Ah, yes, please come in." replied Keitaro snaping out of his thoughts and stowing away the book.
"Hi, there." said Kitsune while entering the room.
"Ah, it´s you Mitsune or Kitsune?" said Keitaro.
"Kitsune´s fine." she said with a smile.
"It´s me or her voice is a little plastered?" thinked Keitaro. "Well, Kitsune, do you need something?"
"Not really, just wanted to know you better." she said with a smile. "Beside being the manager, what do you do?"
"Well, I´m studing trying to go to Toudai." he said with a dull smile.
"So do Naru" she said while aproaching him slowly. "Well, changing the subject, what are you doing?" she said with a tenuous evil smile.
"Is..Is that so?" he said trying to ignore Kitsune actions. "Erm...well...you see... I was just making a schedule of my work."
"That looks hard, so why don´t you make a pause and drink with me?" she said in a insinuating tone. "It seems that he don´t talk with girls very often, I guess all he do is study." she thinked evilly.
"Uhn, no, thank you." he said with a sweatdrop in his face while standing up and walking to the window "Somewhat I feel that it won´t be safe. Perhaps you want to seduce me, or to get me drunk and squeeze some secret information of mine, and that´s or to get my money or to get a free month rent, huh?" he said with a innocent smile.
His words Kitsune got a sweatdrop in her face and opended her jaw and started to speak nervously.
"Ah...hehe...well... so, see you later then." she said while quickly leaving the room and closing the door, and then going to her own room. "What the hell? Did he readed my mind? He´s not so dense as he looks, better be careful." Kitsune thinked.
After Kitsune left, Keitaro started to gaze through the window. "Mental note, Kitsune may be reliable, but also dangerous in her own way." He thought. And suddenly his door in opened quickly, with the image of the foreign girl with something that looked like a gun.
"Heyas, Keitaro! I want to test my new weapon." she said
"Eh?! No Su-chan, wait..." Keitaro said, but it was too late to stop Su, and then she shooted Keitaro.
'BOOOOM'
"Aaaaargh!" with that he flied through the window and landed in a street next to Hinata Sou. "Ugh. This is being a veeery long day, makes me wonder if I´ll survive till the exam." he said while feeling the pain in his back. He slowly made his way to Hinata Sou, with his hand in his back. "I guess I´ll take some air in the roof while waiting for the dinner." he said to himself.
While he went to the roof he watched Motoko finishing her session of training, but then she suddenly atacked with a ki blast.
"ZANGANKEN!"
"Aaargh! I haven´t done anything!" he shouted.
"Stop peeking. With that kind of attitude you could easily pass by a stalker." she said.
"Sorry, my fault, ouch." apogised Keitaro.
"That makes us even, but I also have to apologise by the afternoon events." said Motoko.
"That´s okay." Keitaro said while he standed up. "Just don´t let that become a habit" he said smiling.
With his smile Motoko blushed lightly.
"Uhn, okay." she said with a disturbed expression. "He seems more nice than he appears to be."
"Now that´s enteresting... she don´t seem to talk with men very often... but I can´t say much because I don´t talk with girl oftenly... but if so why she hates men so much?" he thought.
"Ah, I almost forgot to ask you." Motoko said. "How did you avoided Naru´s punch and my attack?"
"Let´s see..." he said with a pensive look. "I guess it was just a sum of fear and reflex, hehe..." He said with a smile.
But then the conversation were interrupted by Su, kicking Keitaro´s head.
"Hey, you two! Dinner´s time! Everyone is waiting!" Su said with an energetic voice.
"Ouch! Okay, Su-chan, we´re going." he said.
"Okies!" Su replied and quickly went down to the kitchen.
"My head." muttered Keitaro "Is she always like that?" asked Keitaro.
"Better get used to it." Motoko replied as both then went to the kitchen.
As Keitaro and Motoko entered in the kitchen everyone were already seated down, and then everyone looked at the two, and principally Naru who were looking him with a distrustful look, and Keitaro realised that.
"Oh, well... she´s still pissed at me, and I haven´t done anything wrong." he thought while smiling.
"Hey, what you two were doing up there?" Kitsune asked with a grin.
"Nothing! I´ve just apologised myself to him, that´s all!" Motoko replied quickly.
"That´s right." Keitaro said. "But nevermind that, let´s eat."
"Yeah, food, food!" replied Su.
With that everyone started to eat, but the new presence of Keitaro made the table more quiet with an awkward sensation. And almost all the time Naru looked Keitaro with a distrustful glare, but Keitaro suddenly broke the silence.
"Your cooking is really good, Shinobu-chan." he said "Not many times that I eat something like this." he added with a smile.
"Ah, thank you, Sempai." said Shinobu blushing. "Sempai praised me! Sempai praised me!" she tought happily.
"Don´t try anything funny towards Shinobu-chan." threatened Naru.
"Huh? But I just made a commentary." he replied.
"This is a warning to the future too." she added.
After he finished eating Keitaro standed up and started to wash the dishes.
"Ah, Sempai! I´ll do it." said Shinobu.
"That´s ok, you already made the dinner, so let me wash the dishes." Keitaro replied.
"If you say so." Shinobu said.
After the dinner the evening were calm to Keitaro relief. Everyone went to their respectives rooms, but Keitaro were outside in the roof thinking about the eventful day.
"Keitaro, are you here?" asked a voice from behind.
"What?" he turned around and saw that was Naru behind her. "Ah, it´s you Narusegawa."
"I... ahn..." she said with a shy tone while putting her hands behind her "I just wanted to say that I´m sorry that I attacked you without knowing the truth."
"Well, she can be cute a times too..." thought Keitaro. "Ah, that´s ok." he said smiling. "Oh, yes... almost forgot. Are you trying for Toudai too?"
"Yeah, are you trying too?" she replied.
"That´s right, but I´ve already failed two times..." he said with a sweatdrop in his face.
"Two times?! Why don´t you try somewhere else?" she asked.
"Just because of a childhood promise..." he replied with a distant look. "Although the person I´ve made the promise may had forgot about it. But don´t mind me, it´s already late, better we sleep. Good night."
"Good night."
So both went to their rooms. And as Keitaro layed down he started to think.
"So much happened today, I´ve met new people and most of it, girls. I´ve got attacked many times in just one day, but I´m surprised that Narusegawa and Motoko can be nice even with their temper, and most of it Naru can look very cute at times..." Keitaro interrupted his thought by noticing a hole in the roof obstructed by a wood cover. So without thinking much about it he went to see what´s beyond the hole, and caught Naru changing her clothes, and he haven´t done anything beside looking at her with wide opened eyes.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU PERVERT!" she shouted at him while punching him down.
"Ouch, man. I guess I´ll fix the hole later." he said to himself. "Yeah, she can be cute, but also very tempestive." he tought with an mocking smile in his face. "I can see that my life here is going to be very hard..." he said to himself with a sad face.
