A/N- For those who didn't get the last chapter it was the story so far though Nakatsu's eyes. I thought I would funny a chapter to put in. For those of you noticed that I posted another story called Random Things but it was taken down so from now on I'm going to put some of it at the end of each chapter along with review responses.
This chapter willpick up from chapter 4,where Ryu is getting a tour and meeting everyone. Ashiya got a letter from Io saying that she was opening up her hotel for spring break and would like them all to come back and help out.
Disclaimer-look at chpaters 1-5.
"Well here we are" Io said after a 2-hour car ride.
"It still looks the same from last summer" Ashiya commented when she got out of the car.
"Yeah but it has changed a little" said Nakatsu pointing out the peeling paint.
"It's not like I can work on it during the winter" Io said giving him a death glare.
"It is still nice and it looks peaceful to me" Ryu put in.
"Why, thank you Ryu" Io said in a pleasent voice while heading inside with Ryu and Nakatsu following.
"Is something wrong Sano" Ashiya asked with concern in her eyes.
"No, it's just weird being back here after what…." He stopped when he saw the look on Ashiyas' face. "I thought we went though this already." She said.
"Yeah I know but…"
"Lets just forget the past for now" she interrupted.
"Alright" he said before picking up his and Ashiyas' suitcase and carrying them inside where everyone else was with the girl right behind him still looking confused.
"Sano, you and Nakatsu are sharing and then Ryu and Ashiya are going to share one" Io said when everyone was inside. " I would give each of you your own room but all the other rooms are already booked.
"When do the first guests arrive?" asked Ashiya.
"Tomorrow afternoon, so their rooms will have to have to ready by then." Io told them all the things that needed to be done by then and then showed them what rooms they would be staying in.
After they had all unpacked they headed toward the kitchen were assorted good smells reached them and reminding Ashiya, Sano, and Nakatsu of Io's good cooking. When they reached the kitchen they saw Io chopping vegetables with a pot of soup boiling behind her on the stove.
"Do you need any help Io" Ashiya asked after she heard her stomach growling from the smell and sight of food.
"Can you stir the pot of soup that is boiling over there, and you 3 can set the table." She said looking up from the task she was doing. They all started doing the task that Io had appointed them. Sano, Ryu and Nakatsu went in to the other room to set the table, while Ashiya started to stir the soup.
"How has school been?" Io asked.
"Its fine." Ashiya answered.
"How has my lazy good for nothing bother been treating the girl at Osaka?"
"The same as always, but he has been a little to nice. Nanba on the I have rarely seen, seeing that it is his third year and all." She said answering Io's next question.
"Are turning into a mind reader?" Io asked joking. "When did Ryu come to Osaka?"
"The same day that I got your letter asking if we wanted to come here for spring break." Ashiya answered.
"Where did he come from do you know?"
"New York city, believe it or not."
"How much do you know about him so far?"
"Not much actually, but I'm hoping that I can get to know him better this week since we are sharing a room."
Just as she had finished the sentence the others walked back into the room laughing.
"Dinner ready?" Nakatsu asked.
"Is the table set?" Io asked.
"Yes" Ryu answered
"Then yes dinner is ready" Io with a small smile "Sano, can you get the bowls out of the cupboard over there?" Io asked as she pointed to a cupboard.
He got out5 bowlsand put themon the counter by the soup and then helped Io put soup in each.
After dinner they (Sano, Ashiya, Nakatsu and Ryu) did the dishes while Io made a chore list for them, that would need tobe donebefore noon the next day.
When they finished dishes they went back to their rooms to take showers and get a good nightsleep.
"You can a shower first Ryu" Ashiya told him.
"Ok" he said with a yawn.
When they got back to their room Ashiya grab her jacket and told Ryu that she would be back in a half an hour or so.
When she walked out on to the back porch she saw Sano leaning on the railing.
"Hey, anything wrong?" she asked him
"No, just thinking about taking walk, what about you?" He asked
"Same" she answered.
"Well since we both had the same Idea why not go together," he suggested
"Sure why not" she said.
About a half an hour later they found themselves back at their rooms after they hadwalked around the block. They said good night and went into their separate rooms.
When Ashiya closed the door she noticed a half naked Ryu standing with his back to her.
"Oh sorry Ryu I didn't know you where getting…." She stopped suddenly looking at him, "Ryu you're a…"
