Chapter 6 - Arriving
The girls have been at the beachside teashop for three days now. Keitaro has yet to show up, Motoko has taken her training to new heights, Shinobu's been cooking almost non stop, seeing as how Keitaro isn't there to help, Naru acts as if she doesn't give a damn about the kanrinnin, Kitsune has cut back on her sake, and Su and Sara have calmed down, slightly mind you. Over all, things were almost back to normal. Seta has left Hinata and is currently on Aoi island at the preparations for the tourney. Haruka has once again enlisted the help of Kentaro Sakata, who, once again, owes Haruka money.
It's the morning of the fourth day, and the girl's awake in the teashop, having decided to wait on Keitaro to rent the hotel rooms. Naru, tired of waking up sore snaps "Why exactly are we waiting for that baka in a dump?" "It's called being polite, Naru." "No, being here days ago is being polite. I don't know why we don't go to the hotel right now. Calm down, we have work. And besides, if you're so worked up about a hotel, then you'll want to wait for the Marriot in Aoi island. Did you forget already." "Oh yeah. It's gonna be great. I hope you win Motoko." "She's not here." "oh"
After the short debate, Naru and Kitsune walked out into the sun. They walked further into the sun. And further more. "Is it just me or is needlessly bright in here." "What the hell is going on here." Their eyes quickly got adjusted to the sun and the joined the others for breakfast. "The beachshop is closed for the rest of the summer due to the tourney. We'll leave tomorrow morning and arrive there in the early evening. We'll have dinner and check into the hotel, which is 'coincidently, right next to the stadium, for the night. Keitaro should be here today, but until then, you all have the day off." "Imagine having a day off during summer vacation. You're so nice, Haruka." "Watch it." came an annoyed growl. {A/N - I really hope you got the sarcasm, if not just get out. Leave, right now.}
Motoko spent the whole day training. First a 5 - mile sprint, then stretching, etc. Naru joined Su and Sara in the water. Kitsune sat in the shade and sipped sake through a cup, while Haruka talked to Mutsumi, who had 'unexpectedly' showed up bearing gifts and watermelons, though to many who know Mutsumi, they are the same exact thing. All was quiet. By noon everyone had gathered on the deck for lunch when a sleek motorcycle barreled out onto the beach, skillfully dodging all the vacationers. The driver continued on his war path straight to the girls! The girls, minus Haruka, started scrambling for cover, thus throwing everything about. The biker skidded to a halt. He got out and wordlessly removed his helmet. The girls gasped at what they saw.
