It was around the end of July just when the weather began to become really warm. Keitaro and Naru were inside Keitaro's room enjoying a break from studying for the Tokyo U

entrance exam.

"Helloooo," called a strange voice from downstairs.

"Oh," said Keitaro, "that must be the new gardener."

"What?" said Naru, "You hired a gardener? You're such a lazy bum!"

Keitaro got up and walked to the door. He turned and looked at Naru and said, "No, I'm not. It's just that the grounds around here have gotten a little out of hand. I needed a little

extra help to clean it all up that's all."

As Keitaro walked down the hallway toward the stairs, the other tenants began to emerge from their rooms.

"Who is that downstairs, Keitaro?" asked Kitsune.

"Our new gardener," he replied, "Why don't you guys come down and meet him?"

Everyone rushed downstairs to greet the new arrival. Except for Motoko, who took her own less excited stride. Keitaro immediately greeted him and introduced him to everyone.

"Everyone, this here is Kiba," shouted Keitaro, "Kiba, this is...everyone, ha ha." WHAM!

Over fell Keitaro as Kitsune knocked him out her way to greet the handsome newcomer. He was 189cm tall with dark black hair and deep brown eyes. He also had a

slightly scruffy face, as if he hadn't shaved in a couple of days. Over on his back was slung a large bag carrying his clothes.

"Hi there, my names Mitsune, but everyone here calls me Kitsune," said Kitsune very sensually.

"Hi, my names Shinobu pleased to meet you," said Shinobu as she bowed.

Kiba returned her bow curtly. Suddenly, something pounced up onto Kiba's back.

"Hiya! I'm Su!" she shouted.

Kiba turned his head, smiled, and said, "Nice to meet you, Su."

Finally Keitaro returned to his feet and suddenly realized Kiba had not met Naru or Motoko.

"Oh yeah by the way, this is Naru, and Motoko hasn't made it downstairs yet," said Keitaro.

"Ooooh, so you're Naru," said Kiba, "Keitaro's told me all about you all, but he mostly talks about you. He's always saying how you're soo... (muffled voice)."

Keitaro had placed his hand over Kiba's mouth just in time.

"Ha ha, I'm sure Kiba would like for us to show him his room now," said Keitaro in a desperate voice.

Kiba finally broke free and laughed at Keitaro.

"Keitaro, you know you don't have to let me stay here. I can take care of myself."

"No way! You don't even have a place to call home. You carry everything you own on your back." WHAM!

Naru smacked Keitaro aside for his rude comment.

"Please stay, Kiba," said Naru "I'm sure we have plenty of rooms here you can stay in while you're working here."

Kiba pondered for a moment and replied, "Well I guess it wouldn't hurt anything for me to stay here for a while."

"YAY!" everyone cheered.

Just as everyone had begun to cheer and were about to begin celebrating, Motoko descended from the stairs. Suddenly, the hair on the back of her neck stood on end. She could

sense that something very dangerous was amongst them. She began to scan the house for anything suspicious and her gaze finally rested upon Kiba. Suddenly, their eyes met, and

Motoko felt a fierce sensation behind the eyes she now beheld.
