Chapter 2
Party Rules
"KEITARO!" The near earth shattering scream of the combined voices of the Hinatasou girls, was the second reaction, and third was the mad rush of feminine bodies that threw themselves onto him, causing him to topple backwards to the floor.
Laying there slightly stunned on his back he could feel the weight of all six girls bearing down on him. As the piled up girls slowly removed themselves and grabbing him almost flinging him across the room. They were a bundle of tears, smiles, and questions. He managed to squeak out, "Please...get some food, something to drink and I'll try and answer all your questions."
As the girls were still shocked at his appearance, the one that never walked away from a challenge, Mitsune nestled up next to him almost purring, "Keitaro...err...Kei-kun look at you!" Half expecting Naru to come charging at him, he flinched and noticed she had kept her distance, but from another likely source the assault did come, but not directed at him. "Secret Technique : UWAKI ONNA JOKYO!" and Mitsune flew off the couch.
Su and Sara were all giddy as they hopped into Keitaro's lap, looking through the pockets on his jacket, before he figured out what they were looking for. With that he figured he had better tell them about the presents and the rules of the game. "Ok girls stop it you might upset Motoko again," looking at Motoko and giving her a wink. "Yes, I bought something for everyone, but I hid them. Now before you go to bed, I will tell you where I placed your gifts."
"Keitaro wants to play!", Su jumps off his lap and does a cartwheel in the living room. Sara, just puffs up acting indignant and jumping down. "Now I'm sure you have questions lets hear them."
The first came from the dazed Mitsune from the other side of the room where she landed, "How did you get all studdly looking?" Keitaro blushed and smiled, "Well when I wasn't studying, I was helping Seta at the dig site and training with him. So, I guess it eventually rubbed off on me." He ran a hand through his hair, "And the glasses I got rid of because at the site I was always dusting them off, so I could see, and the hair well we where in Arizona, and it was just too hot to have long hair."
"Why did you never write us?" Came from a bitter sounding Naru as she bit down on a quarter sandwich. "Well to be honest the American Universities are really hard, and I had to study just about all the time. I always planned to write and then I would fall asleep or be dragged to the site, and before I knew it six months had passed."
Shinobu was next, "Did you find anything interesting?" He smiled at her as she blushed furiously lowering her head to hide it. "Well we found a few items of note, but nothing ground breaking. Seta-san hopes that our findings will get him a grant to continue." Everyone kinda figured this, considering that both of them could find the lost arc of the convenient, if you left them alone in the Egyptian desert.
"You said that you trained with Seta-san?" Came Motoko, with her brow raised. "Yeah, I'm far from either of your levels, but Seta said that I was a fast learner. Maybe someday we can spar, and only if you promise to take it easy on me." He laughed at the thought, figuring he would soon be in lower earth orbit again.
They sat around the rest of the night, listening to stories about the states. It was starting to get late as Su and Sara were starting to yawn more. 'Well it starts', he thought, 'Time to tell the first two.'
He walked over to Sara and bent over whispering in her ear, "Your present is in your room, you can't miss it." Her eyes lit up and she ran off upstairs leaving a whirlwind in her wake. Su was on his back and latched on before he could straighten himself up. "So where's mine, Keitaros?" Plucking her off his back he told her the same, she ran off yelling "WEEEEEEEE"
'Those he thought were the easy ones, the rest only get tougher from here' And he walked towards Mitsune before she passed out.
