Haruka was busy, very busy.
But that was not what bothered her; in fact, work was not on her mind. Her nephew in the other hand...
'Well, he is a grown up boy after all'Haruka kept telling to herself as she recalled her conversation with Keitaro, she couldn't help to feel a deep worry for him, if she could talk to him a little more...
"The order for table four is ready!" The voice of one of her employees called from behind the counter, Haruka hastily took the mugs and turned back to her clients, she was really too busy to have her mind wandering and besides...
"Thanks for the tea Haruka, I'll be leaving now!" Keitaro called from the shop's exit as he waved his good byes at her, she could only try to wave back as the orders came one after another.
But she resolved to visit him soon, very soon.
I left my aunt's store and started heading back to the Sou, climbing the stairs bit by bit until reaching the entrance.
And there I saw something… curious.
A toy was at the doorstep, thrilled by this little and sudden discovery, I bowed and picked it up from the ground, to my head level, it was a little hefty as I turned the little tank to examine all of the details, all of them placed carefully in the making… toys these days are amazing, they look so real, it's even aiming at me by itself!
"He, he, cute" It was as if someone had waited for me to say those words, and then, a loud explosion blasted me away as everything blurred and became pitch black.
"Kei- kun, Kei-kun!"
I got up and glanced around, the place was blurry and wide but not very far from me, there was a little sandbox, along with someone.
"Kei-kun, let's play!"
I approached her and for the first time, I realized that my cast was gone; she waved at me happily and kept playing, waiting for me. I sat next to her as she continued building a strange set of buildings out of the sand, one of them was tall and looked like an office building with a large clock in the middle, the other was completely different, this one was tinnier and 'chubby', it had a strange onion shaped ornament on top of it, making it look foreign, but important nonetheless.
"Kei-kun… Did you know that when two people go to Tokyo U together they live happily ever after?"
"Tokyo U…"I said out loud as my mind worked in overload until the familiar headache came around. I frowned at my condition, something about all this was... was....
"What's wrong Kei-kun?" The little girl asked me as she sounded worried, but still smiling heartily.
"Oh, nothing, sorry"
"Kei-kun... You don't remember, do you?" She asked as she hid her face from me, and suddenly a strange sense of panic came over me, I tried to remember, I truly did, but in the end, only one answer came to me.
"No..." I said as I turned my head in shame, and none of us talked... only the faint sound of sobs could be heard from the girl, I tried to face her, and I placed a hand on her shoulder, a hand she quickly swiped away in disgust.
"Kei-kun, you IDIOT!"
The little girl got up, and began to run away, I followed after her, trying to catch up, I passed through alleys with many, many shops, went up a large set of stairs until she stopped, in front of a big building.
Hinata Sou.
She stood for a second, looked back at me with anger, and ran inside the building, quickly and without turning back.
I ran as fast as my legs could take me to the living room, followed by the kitchen, then trough the corridors of the inn, the chase continued trough all the building until she got cornered in the terrace.
"Please… please… just let me explain... it's not like... I wanted..." I said between gasps as she turned her back on me, she had stopped running, just looking to the sky and then the floor, I approached her, and I was about to tap her on the shoulder when...
"Yes, you did" She answered with razor sharp voice, and suddenly, everything felt as light as a feather and the next second as heavy as a rock as the floor under my feet gave off.
I began to fall backwards. And the scenery changed, I was falling from what looked as the tall building from earlier at the sand box, and much to my disgrace I wasn't falling alone, just above me, the onion shaped object was greeting me evilly, and I felt it, a raw pain flowing from my head as I met the ground and then, a shocking fear as I had a first row seat to see world's end as the onion fell mercilessly on me.
I woke up scared, almost screaming as I breathed heavily and clenched my fists to regain my calm, taking a glance to my leg and a hand to my head, I realized that I had a new set of bandages, I looked around, and somehow, I had ended up in my room.
Relaxing, I laid back into my futon as I recalled my dream, it was a scary one, but nonetheless compelling… something within this sou, no, someone in it. Maybe I was crazy, desperate, stupid or simply ignorant, but I wanted to meet her, that girl that haunts my life and dreams so much.
Suddenly, it came to me on a whim, an impulse; I got up as fast as I could, took one of my jackets and headed out of the sou, too focused to say a word to anyone on the way. Guided by my dream, recalling it bit by bit, it had been so terribly accurate, so real, I went down the sou stairs, went through the alleys, then past the shops, everything was the very same.
And finally there it was, standing in the middle of a wide park, the very same sandbox, the very place where my dream began. I sat near the sandbox, recalling my dream from bit to bit while fidgeting with the sand, getting some scared to odd looks from the people and children around as they started to leave, but it paid off, two things were completely unmistakable, and now I had a new lead, it was two words, and one place.
Tokyo University.
"Ara, Kei – kun!" A soft voice came from one of the corners of the park, I looked at her as she giggled and I recognized her immediately.
"Mutsumi!" I said as she approached me, and I did the same, she showed me a smile, a very warm and deep smile as we approached each other; I smiled back at her as she placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Found you, he, he" She giggled again as she looked around the little park as if she was looking for something, she moved freely with her arms wide open and sometimes she spun as she walked with a smile on her face. I watched her hypnotized, and like a moth to the flame, I approached her trying not to bother her... she was... she was... collapsing in the middle of the sandbox!
"Mutsumi! Are you Okay?!" I said to her with a near to break voice, she looked pale and the urge to call an ambulance grew fast, but just as I was about to go get it, I felt her clutching my jacket and asking me to stay.
"But... Mutsumi, you"
"I am anemic, it happens to me very often Kei-kun, I shouldn't have... strained myself like that, but this place is... so special, just let me rest a little... ne?"
I nodded and sat next to her, both worried and wondering about Mutsumi in complete silence as the night fell on us, the lights of the park lit on, and a fresh breeze passed through us. Mutsumi had her eyes closed but she could still feel the cold air, she shivered a little and I did what anyone would do. I took off my jacket and placed it on top of her as a lame cover from the elements; she seemed to relax a little as she continued to rest.
"Say, Kei-kun… what were you doing here?" She suddenly opened her eyes as she slowly started gaining some color, clutching the jacket to her chest as I battled the idea of telling her the whole truth...
"Oh, well, it's a long story... and it's a bit embarrassing..."
"It's okay; I won't tell... or laugh at it"
"Well... to be honest, I... just came here on a whim, what about you?"
"I had a hunch"
"A hunch?"
"Yes... we used to play a lot in this park when we were little, and everyone is looking for you, so I felt like giving it a try"
"Looking for me? Why?"
"Ara, I don't know Kei-kun but it sounded like fun! Let's go back now, ne?"
We went back side by side, and we began talking as we headed back home, she told me about Okinawa and her family, I told her about the strange toy and how it sent me to dream land, and later, she told me about some little mishaps she had today, about her love for watermelons and how they could be used… for anything!
Mutsumi smiled as we reached the stairs leading to the sou, we started climbing together and we made a stop at my aunt's store, it was closed but all of the lights were on, we saw her approaching figure coming from behind the counter as she puffed a big cloud of smoke.
"So, you finally found him Mutsumi" My aunt commented boringly as she gave me a good appraising look, she gave another go to her smoke as Mutsumi just giggled and locked one of her arms with mine.
"He, he, yes, Haruka-san, he wasn't far away"
"Sigh, If you needed to go out so badly, at the very least You could had said something to your tenants, they were worried when they saw you leave so sudden, late, and in a hurry, they are all over the prefecture looking for you"
With that said Haruka went behind the counter, took out her business phone and made a quick call, it didn't last more than ten seconds as the only words were 'found him' and 'he is at the tea shop'. Everything went fast from there; we stayed a little back at the teashop before we all went back the sou. All the tenants had gathered there like in a counsel and noticed our arrival immediately
They all looked at us with a stoic expression and they kept some seconds in silence, a wrapping uncomfortable silence… I felt like a kid that had been caught with his hand on the cookie jar, and then, hell broke loose. Kitsune just asked me where I was, Motoko followed by an 'you should stay at home' phrase, Shinobu looked at me worriedly as she got some tea for everyone, Sara just kept staring at me as she held some kind of oversized bug catcher, and Kaolla was holding a strange widget with two antennae in her hands, it gave an audible 'beep' whenever I moved.
Narusegawa was… well… she didn't need to say anything, for some reason, the way she looked at me made me feel even more guilty than I already felt. She was angry, maybe even mad, and I knew I was the reason. Out of impulse I apologized, telling them that I had an errand to run, they didn't seem to believe me until I told them that tomorrow; I would be going to Tokyo U.
"But Urashima, you lost the semester because of your... condition" Motoko carefully reminded me, and everyone agreed silently, It was true, but I told them that I had to make the most of my time.
"Oh, now that you're talking about that Keitaro, I think that you are still forgetting something..." Naru's voice called me from one of my sides; I faced and asked her.
"Well, It's OK you want to remember some of your school days, but don't forget you are still the sou's manager and... Have you done any of your chores lately? Like the hotsprings or..."
"Or the mess from yesterday..." Getting the idea, admitting my lack of work, and with a quick glance at Motoko (from which I got a disapproving look), I decided that I had chores to do first, I agreed with Naru and the others that I would get a head start with my responsibilities, like cleaning the hot springs, halls, and some of the maintenance the sou needed to stay running... specially after neglecting them for days.
"Well, now that all is settled, I'll go back to my room" Naru left and everyone seemed to like the idea, Shinobu blushed as she was barely able to stiff a yawn and left after apologizing, everyone following their example, and only leaving Mutsumi and Haruka with me.
"Well Keitaro, it seems that you have a hard day ahead of you... so you should go rest now" Haruka said as Mutsumi came close to me... so close.
"Kei-kun, good luck tomorrow, do your best Okay?" And she gave me a soft kiss on my cheek, but near, very near my lips, I almost felt them touch… feeling her breath, her warmth near me. Everything became fuzzy and the world began to spin, everything became so distant, I only remember Haruka waving her good-byes and both of them leaving me in the common room, with, as they told me later, an dumb face as time passed, and when I came around, I felt that tomorrow wouldn't be so bad.
Right now, it felt damn good.
The next day.
"All right! Let's do this !"
I said determined as I tied a bandanna with the words 'World Greatest Manager' drawn on it and with a quick trip to the kitchen for breakfast, and then to the basement to arm myself with a broom, brushes, and the right tools (all I could find actually), my managing duties started.
Starting with the mess Motoko and I made the other day; picking the rubble, sweeping, cleaning, wiping, slowly and carefully reading the instructions on the bottles of tons and tons of cleaning products, and, from the top to the bottom levels the cleaning was being made, sweating, satisfied, and feeling proud for the well done job but It had been hard to catch up to the whole cleaning business, my cast, and lack of memory sometimes left me wondering how to clean certain areas, what product to use and how, and, as the job was nearing to an end, I realized that It had taken me the whole morning and part of the afternoon, but now, there was only one place left.
The hot spring.
Standing in front of the door, for some reason I couldn't bring myself to enter, I placed my hand on the knob but suddenly, a strange feeling loomed over me, calling me to reconsider once again as I pulled my hand from it. That was strange, never before I had felt this way; maybe... something really bad happened to me there? Ha, ha, no, it's my home and the tenants are gone anyways, and even if they were, its still a bit before noon, there shouldn't be any... accidents... oh god... towel...
"Urashima, Prepare Yourself!"
That battle cry was all I needed to snap out of the spectacle I just had, and her reaching for her sword was the mark for me to drop everything and get out of there as fast as my legs, no, legs and crutches could take me.
While running and idea crossed my mind, maybe if I talked things over with Motoko, I could explain that it was just one plain accident... yeah, it kinda worked the other day; maybe running just makes me look more guilt--
'SWOOOSH !'
Just in mid thought a wave of wind swept barely past besides me and hit one of the sou's dustbins... slicing it into many symmetric little pieces as she called my name and mentioned something about 'my maker' that I became convinced, extremely convinced, that I wouldn't enjoy to be anywhere near her until she piped down.
I glanced a little above my shoulder and to my dismay, Motoko had almost caught up with me, and, willing to do even the most crazy of things, I turned around a corner of the sou and headed for one of the corridors I had cleaned earlier, a fresh one, there was still a little water and, hoping that it would be still slippery, I did the craziest.
Just before she caught up with me, just before she could ready her sword to strike me, out of the blue, I stopped and took a step sideways to let Motoko run past me, her face showed surprise as she took a little glance at me and then...
"Urashimaaaa! Don't think that your dirty tricks will work forever!" Motoko's angered voice called out for me after a loud crashing noise from the hallway, Motoko must have slipped and... Now I need to hide from her, hide and wait until she cools down, in a place she would not look, a place she would not go.
Was there such a place?
I never thought about it too much, in a kind of frenzy, I ran through the sou's corridors, stairs, and finally entered the first room I encountered, the room was calm, and the trees gave it a nice warm feeling...
Hold it... trees?
And there I was, standing inside of one of the most amazing and weird rooms I had ever seen in my short memory span of life, it didn't look like a room at all, it was more like a jungle... but whose jungle?
Suddenly my instincts told me that I'd better not make so much noise, just from outside the room, I heard some angry footsteps and loud mumbling about some ' pervert ' and the feeling of disgrace she felt for falling into a cheap trick, underestimating him, and all about that rant... I kept silent until the voice and steps died down and I began to feel relieved. I would just wait a while and move out to my room, lock the door, and start working on an apology, that should do it, but the perk of this is that I had managed to get out of this one unharmed.
'Beep'
A beeping sound came from behind me, I turned around and saw a very familiar visitor.
The toy mini tank was in front of me, and suddenly I felt the urge of just leaving the room, so, calmly, slowly, and keeping the cursed toy on sight range, I walked backwards to the door, reaching it and finding the knob without looking.
The little toy stood in the same place, doing nothing, I knew why... The door was stuck. I made a mental note to fix all and every single one of these if I could just get out unharmed of this one, but I was being naive... too naive as the little toy took aim and a strange feeling bordering from acceptance to helplessness loomed over me, I closed my eyes and waited for the final blow, maybe if I didn't see it coming it could be easier to take.
But it just never came.
"Hiyas Keitaro! You coming to play?!"
I opened my eyes and I saw a tanned, blonde blur pass in front of me, picking the little tank and taking it to the bottom of a jungle like a predator to a prey, and, within seconds time she came back in front of me, greeting me in a very unusual way.
She landed a kick on my face and sneaked behind me, I crouched a little to the front to regain my balance, and while I was at it, she climbed into my back and snuggled her face against my head.
"He… hello Ms. Su" I greeted her as I tried to cope with my sudden headache, and now, snuggling sensation, accompanied with a little bother from my bump, it had healed quite fast, and now it was nothing but a little spot of fuzzy feeling skin.
"Yay! Keitaro came to visit me! What shall we play today?! We can play Chase and missile, eat the Tama, Hide and Seek!?"
"Shhh… not so loud Su, I… I am kind of playing hide and seek now… you see, Motoko is doing the seeking right now"
"Oooh! So that's why you came to my room?"
"Y… Yeah that's it!"
"You shouldn't hide in the rooms Keitaro, a girl's privacy is very important! I guard my room with my toys you know?"
"F- Fu - Fully noted" I said out loud as I sweat bullets, she was smart, protective, cheery and at the same time... cute... but nonetheless that last comment sent a shiver, a very cold shiver through my spine.
"Say… Keitaro"
"What is it Su?"
"Can I play with you and Motoko?"
"N… no! I mean, not right now Ms. Su"
"Just Su, Su – chan, or Kaolla – chan Keitaro, Ms. Su, sounds grown up, too formal, bleh!"
"Sorry, I… just don't want to be found just yet... you see..."
"You found Motoko in the hotsprings and now she is chasing you?"
Bull's eye, I was shocked, and I wondered if she had somehow seen trough me, I nodded a silent 'yes' as she hugged my head tighter to herself.
"Keitaro?"
"What is it Su?"
"What is amnesia... is it something bad?"
"It's... hard to explain Su, I... even have trouble understanding it, it's like... trying to recall something you did, but you don't know if you did it in the first place. It's that strange"
"That's strange but never mind! As payment for lying to me and trespassing into my room, you will help me test with my new creation! The new VR goggles ver. 3.1b"
"Su! I… I don't think you… we… I mean, it's safe right?"
"Safer than being caught by Motoko that's for sure! Well… more or less"
"Did you… say anything?"
"Nothing! Wait here, I'll be back shortly!"
Kaolla hastily ran and disappeared among the trees, the sounds of clattering and rummaging came to my ears as some objects were practically thrown all around the entire room, some of them were even close to hitting me! Seconds later she came back hastily; placing an odd helmet on my head.
"These are ready for a test run, just sit back and relax"
'Bzzz…bip'
A small noise came from the helmet as Kaolla's creation rumbled gently as it came to life, a pair of lens came of out nowhere as Kaolla handed me some earphones.
"So… Su-chan, what is this supposed to do?"
"Just hold on"
Suddenly the lens 'turned on' like a TV, but there was no clear image on them… like a big dark void at times, I moved to a more comfortable position as I tried relaxing, but It only made me more nervous, but so far it seemed fine.
"See anything?"
"Nothing"
The sound of scribbling and some keyboard smashing came to my ears as the image in front of me changed forms, it distorted, twisted, blinked, sometimes it looked like the monitor danced and squirmed and many other times it just wiggled weirdly.
"Still Nothing?"
"Nothing"
"Hmmmm, maybe if we just…"
"Hey Su, let's play!" A young and mischievous voice came from somewhere in the room, it belonged to…
"Oh, so you are trying it on the dork already?!"
'Sarah Mc Dougal'
"He, he, I can't get an image just yet, so any ideas?"
"Yeah, more potency"
"Yes but it could be…"
"For science!" She said it as some kind of battle cry and suddenly…
'Beep… beep'
A small blinking red dot appeared at the top of the screen, followed by some foreign words, asking Su what was happening, she said something about the helmet before… The whole thing overheats and explodes on my face... the entire world began to spin and blur, as I saw the worried face of Su and an annoyed Sara looking at me, muttering something incomprehensible, the only thing I managed to grasp was, oddly enough 'immortality'.
Passing away and waking up some time later in the afternoon, I left Kaolla's room as she decided to give her invention some 'adjustments' and that she would give me a call when she was finished… it wasn't so bad, looking at it from the bright side, I had eluded Motoko's punishing strike but Su could take all the time in the world… no hurries… none at all.
Today... was interesting... who am I kidding... today I learned that I am a guinea Pig at the hand of the two of the youngest residents, one is no older than 10 years for God's Sake!
Man... I truly need something to cheer up, something... like ... like...
"Hey Keitaro, care for a drink?" Kitsune's voice called me as I drifted near her room, I hesitated as some of my clothes were burned out from the explosion but in the end I ended up entering her room. I sat silently as she served me some warm sake, I took a short sip, tasting it and adjusting to the flavor and afterwards, out of impulse, I drank the entire shot in one go, and I felt my body warm up to the sake and a relaxing sensation from the gut to my head, I said nothing for a while as the alcohol entered my system and relaxed me.
"Thanks Kitsune, I truly needed that"
"No problem sugar, so… how are you holding up?"
A feeling of dread came over me as I considered how to answer that, for starters it had been good, beautiful girls, a nice and big house, a job that any guy would kill to get, but now… it didn't seem so pretty, in just three days, I had lost my memory, flew trough a window, I got a cold shoulder treatment from Narusegawa for reasons unknown. I am labeled a pervert by a sword maniac kendo girl, and worst of all, I had given her REASONS to believe that, and today, I found out about being a guinea pig of the most maniacal under aged scientific in the world
Even as I didn't speak, it seemed that my face reflected my mood, Kitsune didn't say anything and served me another cup, which I drank slowly as she tried to liven up everything a little bit, she started with some chit chat about a horse racing gamble she almost won, and then she said a few jokes, and without knowing the gloomy mood had lifted and after a little more time, Shinobu called us all for dinner.
We arrived together as we all dined, everyone was there, including Motoko who gave me the coldest look she could muster, and we didn't spoke a word between us, not even to ask for the soy sauce or any other need, but at the very least everyone was just the same, Shinobu ate peacefully and slowly, Kitsune ate well, constantly looking at everyone eating on the table, Sarah and Su were practically devouring everything, Motoko was just eating, and Naru was… still not even looking at me.
"Naru, can you get me the soy sauce?" I called to her as she complied, not saying a word to me as she did pass me the sauce.
She was civil towards me… but still something was wrong… I frowned a little but I shrugged it off instantly, so far, there was no particular reason for her to be angry at me… was there? Maybe, just maybe what aunt Haruka said was true here; she was just being the same way as she had always been towards me.
Kitsune looked at the scene, and for a second, I saw a frown draw on her face, but just as fast as it came, it had gone away, and the dinner concluded, I congratulated Shinobu for the great dinner as she blushed a little, Sarah and Su took off for their last game of the day, Naru left to her room to study as Kitsune said her good nights and took off to her room. Motoko… gave me another glare and her eye twitched, as if I was some kind of undesirable presence, and afterwards, she headed for her room.
All the tenants gone, but one, Shinobu was cleaning the dishes and without even asking, I took the dirty dishes and placed them in the sink. She was taken back a little she told me not to worry, but I told her that it was no problem, that now I had enough experience moving with my crutches, this afternoon being all the proof I needed.
"But sempai… are you sure?"
"Don't worry about it Shinobu–chan, I am sure"
We worked together and in a blink of an eye the Kitchen was sparkling clean, when we finished cleaning, she took a look at the cupboard, making a list of all the ingredients, spices, and food that were almost up. When she was done, she stuck it on the fridge with a bunny shaped magnet as she said her good byes to me, and went for bed.
That was a great idea, I felt tired after all that running from the afternoon, and… Motoko is mad at me, I'd better not let this go any further, that girl is dangerous when angry, and it was best for both of us to be on good terms.
Gathering all my courage, I went up to the third floor, my mind calling me to reconsider but my conscience telling me to go on, I knocked gently on Motoko's door.
"Who is it?"
"Its Keitaro, can I come in?"
"Go ahead"
Entering the room, I was careful enough not to let my mind deviate a lot from the matter at hand, but nonetheless Motoko's room was, in a single word, traditional.
Just entering the room, there was a neatly arranged bookshelf, followed by a desk and closet, the entire room had an aura of discipline and self control like I had never seen before, and just in the middle of the room, Motoko was waiting for me, sitting in a respectful position as I sat across her as best as I could. I noticed a samurai armor behind her, and some ancient looking scrolls on the sides.
"What do you need at this time at night Urashima?"
"I came to apologize... about earlier"
She closed her eyes on suspicion, telling me, without the need of words that she wasn't buying it, but her restrain made to keep her response as civil as she could.
"As you may be able to tell from my face Urashima, I don't believe you"
I nodded, but I reassured her that my apologies were sincere. With that said, she stood reflexive a few moments before she spoke her resolution.
"If your words are sincere, then you must prove that there is more to it than just words Urashima, It's already been twice the times since... those... accidents occurred" She said as she blushed a little, maybe from embarrassment, or anger, it was hard to tell but I could bet my money on anger.
"But... what can I do to prove it?"
"Just stay out of trouble Urashima, my school and swordsmanship needs attention and I don't want to have to deal with those antics of you for a while, if you can stay out of trouble... then I'll take your words as true, if not... I can't allow any kind of mishaps from anyone, especially to any of the girls. Do we understand each other?"
"How long?"
"A week, if you can restrain those incidents from happening a week from now on, then you will earn my respect"
"Deal, I'll show you there are more than words behind me" I said without thinking, just a week? That didn't sound too hard, they had been accidents after all, I just need to be a little bit more careful and this little 'test' would be in my pocket.
"Very well Urashima, I look forward to your... performance"
We wished each other good nights and I headed slowly back to my room, replaying inside my head what Motoko and I had agreed upon just a few minutes ago.
The night at Hinata sou, was eerie without words, there were no lights on, only the moonlight bathed the corridors with a gently silvery light, just enough to walk safely. Just before turning to the corridor leading to the stairs, a figure came out of Narusegawa's room, she never looked at where I was, the lights were off and the tenants asleep, with the exception of me and those two, I recognized the unmistakable frame of Kitsune.
I looked at her as she said her good nights to Narusegawa, and just as she closed her door, her expression changed so visibly that it was... worrisome, and that was an understatement, she seemed to be in a bad, dark mood, her steps were heavy and her head hung low, as she just climbed down the stairs and entered her room, I waited in the shadows until the lights from both Narusegawa's and Kitsune's rooms were lit out.
Without making any sound I entered my room, and prepared myself for sleeping, the sole image and the tension of what I witnessed before kept me awake as I wondered without success about Kitsune and Naru...
Many, many things within this sou were a mystery, sleep evaded me as I felt, deep inside me, that something was wrong and I was the cause of it all, as well as the only answer was buried deep within my self, in the depths of my mind.
End of chapter 5
