A/N: I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THE LATE CHAPTER! I hadeth lotsa things going on including my week trip to Yellowstone and Vegas! OO Please forgive me! And I actually laughed while I was writing this chapter. I don't know why though… Maybe you'll find out--! Okee, here's da chapter!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I changed and washed up before I headed down to the kitchen, where something delicious was being cooked. As the moms and Nanako were setting the table I walked in and looked at all the food.
"I thought we were going to have Japanese food," I said aloud.
"Well, it is your first day in Japan so I thought you wouldn't really be in the mood for Japanese food today. And besides, we all have a little American in us," Mrs. Echizen replied.
I nodded as I took my seat near the doorway so I'd be the first one out as soon as I was done. To be honest, I wasn't hungry at all, but decided to eat a few things before bed. When the food was ready, the boys hurried in and then the dads. Kenton to the seat next to me and Ryoma took the other.
"Great, I'm surrounded by idiots," I murmured to myself.
"I heard that," Ryoma and Kenton both whispered at me.
I merely shrugged and dug in to my food. It was steak and mashed potatoes and a bit of broccoli and carrots on the side. It was so good, excluding the vegetables. The carrots were okay though. It was always the broccoli that got on my nerves. I heard a mew from behind me and I turned slightly, seeing Opal. An idea popped into my head about destroying the broccolis and my solution was, Opal.
I jammed the fork into the broccoli and quickly pretended to eat it when I hurriedly put the fork down to Opal for her to eat. She took the broccoli after sniffing it for a sec and then left the room. I sighed heavily and stood up, taking my plate and my silverware to the sink.
"Thank you for the dinner. It was great," I bowed slightly and headed out of the room.
The parents continued talking for over an hour after dinner and I was in my room, sketching Opal and Kalpin on my notepad. There was a knock on my door and I opened it revealing Nanako. Her hair was in a towel as if she had just taken a bath or shower or whatever.
"If you want to, the bathroom is open," she said as she walked to her room.
I nodded thanks and hurried to get my robe and towel. I sprinted lightly to the bathroom and closed the door, forgetting to lock it. There was a huge bathtub and a shower place.
"Wow," I muttered as I filled the bathtub with hot water and bubbles.
I slid out of my clothes and stepped into the tub. I felt like I was in heaven -- that is until someone opened the door. Luckily, my back was to them so I didn't notice at first (plus the room was... foggy?), and I couldn't hear anything because the water was still running. What I first detected was the meow from the cats who squeezed in through the open door. I turned to the entry seeing that it was open and a figure was in the doorway.
My first instinct – jump back into the water neck-high and grab something like a shampoo bottle and hurl it at them. And so, I did. He (that's even worse) got knocked out and I quickly grabbed by robe and threw it over me the very first chance I got. I held tightly to my robe as I slowly walked to the body.
"Did I kill him?" I asked myself.
He groaned a little and sat up as I quickly stepped back. His face was blurry due to the ummm… smoke from the heat of the water. I squinted a little at him and saw… Black hair...
"EWWWWWWWWWW! RYOMA! OUT, OUT, OUT! RIGHT NOW! YOU PERV!" I screamed my head off as I kicked him out. Literally, kicking him.
"The nerve of that guy!" I huffed as I quickly went back to the tub, making sure I locked the door this time.
-----Ryoma POV-----
I was in my room playing my tennis game when I looked up at the clock reading 8:55 P.M. Kalpin and Opal were playing with one of my pillows on my bed and I sighed as I turned my game off and grabbed a towel.
"Time for my bath," I muttered and headed to the bathroom that I always used.
Kalpin and Opal followed for some reason as if Kalpin was showing her around and I shrugged, not really caring about it.
I opened the door to the bathroom but already found that it was warm inside. Opening the door a little wider, I looked around and my eyes landed on a form inside the tub. I growled a bit, disappointed that I'd have to take my bath later, due to this person but Kalpin and Opal crawled in through the space between the wall and the slightly opened door. They meowed quite loudly and I froze as the figure turned and look towards me. It all happened so fast.
First a light scream, then a shampoo bottle being thrown at my head. Me getting knocked out, barely even seeing anything. And then being screamed at, and then kicked… ()
"Could this get any worse?" I thought. Yes it did.
The figure in the tub was Reyna! It would've been better if it was Nanako because she was family. But why Reyna! OO (A/N: because I made it that way/ Muhahaha) And she called me a perv! I was passed out in front of the door with a huge bump forming on my forehead. Kalpin and Opal had obviously run off after the first scream Reyna let out.
-----Reyna's POV-----
"Ewww, this is not good," I paced around in my room after my so-called 'relaxing' bath.
My hair was still wet and dripping, but I didn't care. Well… I did, but not that much.
"Oh my god, what if someone heard me? No, they would've come to my room by now," I muttered and flopped down on my bed. Opal came up to me and laid down on the big pillow.
"Am I glad to see you," I sat up with Opal in my lap. I stroked her head and then held her up. She was looking at me with curiosity and innocence in her eyes. "Awe, don't give me that look." I set her down gently on the floor and she returned to her cat bed thing... (A/N: Cat bed? sigh)
I used my towel to dry my hair and I fell back on my bed, staring up at the high ceiling. There was another knock on my door and Ryoma stepped in, his face a bit red, from his bath and the earlier accident. I glared at him before saying, "Out you pervert."
He returned the glare and sighed before slamming the door and walking back to his room. I was furious, but decided to cool off by opening the window. I was restless for a bit but soon; I crawled underneath my covers and turned off the ceiling light. I sighed heavily and closed my eyes, falling into an easy sleep..
Suddenly, I woke up during the middle of the night or dawn as I remembered that school was only two days away! School in America ended about a month ago, and here I was starting school again in less than two months! What a life… I groaned as I fell back and tried to sleep again, but I started hearing soft noises outside. Not normal ones you hear like a bird chirping or a car passing by. No; something was thudding against a wall…
