Kyoto
General POV
October 27 (Five Days After Last Chapter)
We come onto the scene to see the serene, yet busy city of Kyoto, Japan. There are many people traveling through the crowded steets, each of them off to work, the store, or some other location. But these people are not the focus of the beginning of this chapter. Instead it is a woman, with long black hair, wearing a kimono of sorts, red and white, and a long sword, without a tsuba, at her side in its sheath. We also see that she is carrying a rather large crate with her as she walks down the roads, the people walking it with her greeting her happily.
"Hello there Turuko-san! How are you today?" A woman said as he walked by her.
"Well the 'man' of the house had to go to work today, leaving me to buy most of the things from the store." Tsuruko said with a smile as she continued walking.
"Well now he isn't exactly the best husband if he left you to do that now is he?" The woman said with a teasing tone.
"Maybe so, but still, he's my husband afterall. And if he can't buy things from the store that only leaves me I suppose." Tsuruko said as the woman laughed and continued walking by. Tsuruko smiled as well as she turned onto a less crowded side street. She continued to follow this street until it eventually led to another, but this one was of dirt. She began following this one through the outskirts of the town, leading up to a forest, hill-like area. She walked until she reached the bottom of some stairs. As she was about to walk up them she heard a 'coo' coming from the air and looked up. When she did she saw her bird, Slowly descending from the sky. Tsuruko smiled as she put the crate down and outstretched her arm, allowing the bird to land on it.
"Well hello there." Tsuruko said with a smile. "Do you have any news of my little sister?" Tsuruko said as the bird shook its head back and forth and Tsuruko looked at it with a confused look. "No? Then why have you returned so soon?" Tsuruko said as the bird motioned its head, telling her to pull it closer. Tsuruko did and the bird began telling her of my message to her. As the bird quieted down Tsuruko chuckled and then looked at it. "So he bribed you into givinbg me this message with sunflower seeds eh?" Tsuruko asked as the bird nodded and Tsuruko chuckled even more.
"Well now this is a very confident swordsman isn't he?" Tsuruko said as the bird shook its head up and down. "Hold on a second." Tsuruko said as the bird flew off its arm and onto a nearby branch as Tsuruko sug around in the chest and pulled out a piece of paper a ink pen, and then closed the chest and put the paper on top of the crate and then wrote down a message on the piece of paper. She then opened the box, and pulled out an envelop and put the letter inside and wrote her name on the cover. She then took out a piece of string from the box. She licked it closed and signaled the bird to come back as she stretched out her arm.
The bird landed and then she tied the letter to the birds leg and looked at it while smiling. "Now then I want you to fly back to the swordsman's home, give this letter to him and then wait for him to give you the sunflowers you deserve." Tsuruko said as the bird cooed happily, and Tsuruko chuckled. "Hahaha. And then tell me his response okay?" Tsuruko said while smiling as the bird nodded. "Okay then, you may go." Tsuruko said as the bird flew off her arm and went into the distance. Tsuruko watched as she turned around and lifted the crate back up. She took a few steps towards the base of the stairs before stopping in place.
"Kenshin Himura... sounds like an interesting young man..." Tsuruko said as she climbed up the stairs. When she reached the top she turned around and smiled lightly towards the the direction her bird flew off to. "I think I'll be paying a visit to not only my sister... but also this strange young swordsman." She said as she turned around and began walking through more dense forest, seemingly to her home.
Kenshin POV
Back at Hinata Sou I was doing my morning bath when I suddenly sneezed, and loudly at that. "Someone must be talking about me..." I said as I continued to soak in the hot springs.
November 1 (Five Days Later)
I was running that morning. I was trying to pick up the pace this morning, afterall I can't get better if I jog forever. I kept on running through the empty streets as I passed through the same area that I had met the bird ten days before. I heard a familiar 'coo' and I stopped running and smiled as I looked up to see the bird I had met here ten days earlier flying circles above my head. I held out my arm and the bird dived from the air and then landed on my arm. It cooed again and I smiled as I watched it try to find a comfortable spot on my arm. When it stopped I smiled again.
"Well hello there my little friend, how are you this morning?" I asked as the bird motioned its head towards the letter tied to its leg. I nodded as I began untieing the letter from the bird's leg and then I opened up the letter and then saw that there was a signature on it, the name read Tsuruko. "Tsuruko eh? Well bird-san, that is a nice name." I said as the bird tilted its head. I opened the letter and began scanning the letter that Tsuruko had sent me.
Dear Himura-san,
My name is Tsuruko Aoyama. It seems as though that you have met my messager bird, and apparently given him a very... well, different message than what I normally would recieve. I suppose you don't know who I am so I will make it clear now. As I said I am Tsuruko Aoyama, the older sister of Motoko Aoyama, who you no doubt have met since you now live at Hinata Sou. If you believe my sister is a powerful swordswoman, then you can't imagine my abilities.
Now then, this is not to say I was insulted by your message. You're obviously a honorable person to take on the role of samurai of Hinata Sou so seriously as to check out any risk to its, or its tenants, safety. I respect you very much for this quality for most swordsmen I meet are now either in the Yakuza, hurting innocents, or just use their styles to show off to people. You are obviously a man of honor, and you obviously intend to keep it intact so I will not take any offense to your message.
Now then you are obviously worried about what my bird was doing watching over Hinata Sou. I assure you I do not plot to harm anyone in it in any possible way. You see my sister is the heir to our sword style, the Shinmeiryuu, and since she is the heir I have taken it upon myself to watch over her, and make sure that she will be a woman of honor, and not one of shame to the family style. I believe you would understand this. But I do worry about my sister, so that is the other reason my bird watches over Hinata Sou.
When this message reaches you I hope that my assumption about your spirit and honor is correct, for I do not wish to trust the protection of Hinata Sou to just some samurai. So please do take care of my sister, as well as the other tenants at that dormitory. I plan to visit someday and when I do I am hopeful to meet you Himura-san.
Tsuruko Aoyama.
I read, and then reread the letter over and over again. It became apparent to me that Tsuruko was a calm type of person, but I figured that this would of at least ticked her off a little. But then again I have been wrong many times before, so this time shouldn't really affect anything. So I put the letter in my pocket, and put my arm back out for the bird to land on. When it did I reached into my pocket and pulled out a handful of sunflower seed. When the bird saw them it ate them faster than a fat guy waiting in line for a all-you-can-eat buffet for an hour. As it finished I smiled at it.
"Thank you bird-san, I would like to thank you for taking my message to her and bringing me her reply." I said as the bird cooed happily. "Now then can I ask you to send her another message?" I said as the bird looked at my pocket. "Yes there would be more sunflower seed in store for you if you do this." I said as the bird cooed happily once more and I chuckled. "Tell her thank you for the reply, and that she should not worry, that Hinata Sou will stay safe under my watch. And also tell her that I also am... looking foward to meeting her." I said as the bird nodded and flew off.
As I expected it to fly off into the distance, it instead landed on the ledge of the building I first saw it on when it was here ten days ago. 'Oh well, I suppose that after ten days of flying, and a duty to watch over Hinata Sou it would have to stop eventually...' I thought as I began running off. I slowed down a few hundred feet away as a thought crossed my mind. In the letter Tsuruko said that Motoko was the heir to her school...
FLASHBACK
"It gives me a since of freedom actually." I said as I then began picking the pace up on my swings.
"Freedom?" Motoko said as she lifted her head up.
"Yes, the freedom of knowing that no matter what you are free to chase your passions, free to go where ever you feel like going... free to be.. free I guess." I said as I began stabbing the air in front of me.
"Free.. to be free..." Motoko muttered as she began walking back to the door. "Rurouni!" She said catching my attention. "I hope that your travels bring you good fortune." Motoko said as she left the annex.
END FLASHBACK
The smile that usually graced my face faded as I finally realized what I felt behind those words, and my initial thoughts were correct. She envied my freedom, she wanted my freedom... she yearned for my freedom. I looked up at the sky as I ran, a thoughtful expression came across my face. "Motoko-san..." I muttered as I continued running. Her life must be a hell, afterall, what's the worth of a life you do not actually get to live?
I ran all the way up the steps of Hinata Sou, all the way to the top. I was at the annex before I knew it, taking time to read Tsuruko's letter and give bird-san the seeds took up a lot of time, and this morning time was something I could not afford to waste, at all. I began rushing through all of my exercises, but I knew I couldn't get all of them done in time, but the training in later days should help me make up for the wasted time. As the sun began rising over the horizen, I began running through the house again, I had to get to the kimonos before breakfast, afterall I didn't want to be late, the food would get cold. As I kept on running I saw Su appear out of the corner of my eye.
"Hi Kenshin-kun!!!!" Su said as she attempted to kick my head, but I jumped right over top of Su. Su watched me as in slow motion I went over her kick. She even kept on tilting her head back to the point that it was perpendicular to the ground. She then fell and hit her head on the floor. She sat up looking in my direction while rubbing a giant knot on her head. "Owie." She muttered as she watched me run.
"I'm sorry Su-chan, you're going to have to kick my head in some other time! I'm in a hurry!" I said as I ran as fast as I could through the halls. Su watched the hallway I left down with widened eyes before she smiled.
General POV
"Wow he sure is good, nobody dodged my 'Hiya!' kick before!!!" Su shouted as she got up. "I wonder what he was in such a hurry for anyway?" She said as she tapped her chin. "Hmmm. HEY!" She suddenly shouted. "Maybe he got himself a hot date! Yeah that's definetly it, I gotta go tell everyone!" Su said as she began running down the halls of Hinata Sou, no doubt about to start the beginning of this hellish day...
Kenshin POV
I ran quickly down the stairs of Hinata Sou, barely seeing Kitsune walking up one of the stairs. "Hello Kenshin, how are..." Kitsune began saying as I ran past her too and made her spin in circles before she fell on her knees on the floor, with the spinning symbols in her eyes. She sat up and held her head. "What... the hell..." She said dizzily as she saw me running down the halls.
"Sorry Kitsune-san, I have to get moving now!!!" I yelled as I kept on running down the halls. Kitsune regained her senses around the same time Su began running up from the hallway behind Kitsune.
General POV
"Kitsune!" Su yelled as she ran by. "Kenshin-kun has a hot date!!!" Su said as she continued to run down the halls. Kitsune sat there stupified before she stood and began running to catch up with Su.
"What?! Wait Su, hold on!!!" Kitsune said as she joined Su on her chase.
Kenshin POV
I continued running down the halls of the first floor when I saw Motoko appear from a hallway. She took one look at me and sent me a glare that would've sent chills up my spine had I not been in such a hurry. "What have you..." Motoko began saying as I sped by her so fast that the gust of wind that blew along with it tore off all of her clothes, except her body wraps and panties. She quickly covered up and looked in my direction with a look of pure rage. "WHAT THE HELL YOU PERVERT!?!?!" She yelled as I continued running.down the halls.
"Sorry Motoko, I have to rush, NOW!!!" I said as I ran down the halls and Motoko picked up all of her clothes and held them against her body. She glared at my back as she began putting her clothes back on, then as she finished putting her clothes on Kitsune and Su ran up to her.
General POV
"Motoko have you heard?!" Kitsune shouted as Motoko just looked at her with curious eyes.
"What?" Motoko asked as Su jumped onto Kitsune's shoulders.
"Kenshin-kun has a hot date!!!" Su shouted as Motoko eyes had a shadow grow over them as she began shaking.
"Motoko?" Kitsune asked as Motoko looked up her eyes in their more demonic look.
"That... PERVERT!!!" Motoko shouted as she began drawing her sword out. "I'll kill THAT PERVERT!!!" Motoko shouted as she began running down the halls as Kitsune and Su began running after her.
"Wait Motoko, this place can't afford another law suit!!!" Kitsune said as she began running after Motoko as Su stood for a minute before chuckling.
"Today is going to be a fun day!!!" Su shouted as she too joined in the chase.
Kenshin POV
I continued running through the halls of Hinata Sou as I began approaching the kitchen. I was so close to the entrance it was scary. I sped up, nowing that the next door would lead to the kitchen. I ran through the door and crashed into someone. We both fell to the floor as I heard a girl scream quickly as I looked up and saw Shinobu pointing up towards the air.
"The dishes and pots and pans!!!" Shinobu shouted as I looked up and saw dishes, pots, pans, glasses, and even forks, knives, and spoons. I stood up and began stacking the dishes on my right arm, catching all the pans and glasses with my left arm. Catching all of the knives with my teeth. I caught a pot on my head and all of the forks and spoons fell into it. I then caught the rest of the pots with my left foot and leg. I stood there for a second, all of the pots and pans and etc. stacked on random places on my body as Shinobu began staring at me with amazed eyes. "Wow Kenshin-san, that was incredible." Shinobu said as I quickly began stacking all of the things on the counter. As I finished I began running out the door.
"Sorry Shinobu-chan, I gotta go now!" I yelled as I ran out of the kitchen and running towards the front door. As Shinobu watched me leave Naru walked down, dressed in her night clothes down the stairs and looked at Shinobu staring at the door.
General POV
"What happened Shinobu?" Naru asked as she yawned.
"Oh Naru-sempai! Kenshin-kun ran in through here and he bumped into me, and all of the dishes I was carrying just went up into the air, and then Kenshin-kun was like..." Shinobu said as she began swinging her arms about, clearly flustered a bit.
"Woah Shinobu, slow down, you're starting to sound a bit like Su." Naru said as Shinobu blushed as she calmed down.
"Well then he caught all of the pots and dishes and put them over there." Shinobu said as she pointed to the counter. Naru turned to see a lot of dishes and other cooking items stacked on top of each other in a rushed fashion.
"Wow, he's good." Naru said as she began looking around. "So where is he?" Naru asked Shinobu as Shinobu shrugged.
"I don't know, she just said he had to go and then ran out of here." Shinobu said as all of a sudden all of the pots and pans began shaking, as if an earthquake were about to begin. But Naru and Shinobu knew better... "MOTOKO'S ANGRY!!!" Shinobu shouted as she ran behind one of the chairs.
"SAVE THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN!!!" Naru shouted as she jumped behind the chair Shinobu was cowering behind as the door bust open and Motoko burst through sword drawn as she began vigorously looking around the room.
"WHERE IS THAT PERVERT!?!?!?!??!" Motoko shouted as Naru and Shinobu were reduced to chibi-form as they cowered before Motoko's awesome rage. "WHERE IS HE?!?!?!!?" She shouted again as she practically cut the table in half to see Naru and Shinobu holding each other, quivering in fear.
"H-h-h-he was ju-just here a minute ago, he sa-sa-said something about needing to go..." Shinobu said as she grasped on tighter to Naru.
"WHY THAT!!!" Motoko shouted as she was enveloped by a mailstrom of Ki. "I'LL KILL HIM!!" Motoko shouted as Kitsune and Su jumped out of nowhere and latched onto her, trying to calm her down.
"Kitsune-chan, Su-chan, can you explain what the hell is going on here?!" Naru shouted as she became unchibified, with a chibi Shinobu still clinging onto her.
"Well Naru... I'm still not even clear on this whole thing..." Kitsune said as Su jumped foward.
"Kenshin-kun has a hot date!!!" Su shouted as everyone just froze.
"What?" Naru asked as Shinobu became normal again with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah Kenshin-kun was in a rush this morning, so I figure he's gotta have a hot date!" Su shouted as they heard someone coming down the steps. The looked and saw the door to the kitchen open to reveal Keitaro, holding his hand in front of his face to block a yawn. When he saw the girls he smiled.
"Hello everyone." He said in his usual cheerful voice, unaware of the current situation. "How is everyone this morning?" Keitaro asked as Motoko ran up to him and held her sword to his neck. "WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?!" Keitaro shouted as Motoko glared at him.
"AND YOU!!! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT THAT PERVERT INTO THIS PLACE!!!" Motoko shouted as all the other girls jumped on top of her and Keitaro, trying to wrestle Motoko back to the ground. On the outside Hinata Sou was literally jumping up and down off the ground as the fighting took place inside.
Kenshin POV
I ran down the streets in the blink of an eye. The people on the street not knowing what hit them when I flew by and the wind blew into them. I kept on running as fast though, even when I approached a large crowd of people I just jumped onto their heads and ran across their heads. As I reached across the crowd I jumped down and kept on running foward. I was coming up on the tailor shop and I slowed down to a walk. I opened the door to the shop to find that it looked exactly like it did a few days earlier, buisness really wan't booming.
The man came out of the back room with several copies of my robes and white under clothes as well. He laid down most of the pairs and threw one set to me. "Here, try this on. The others are exactly like it so if this one's okay then you're set to pay me." He said as I nodded and walked into the changing room. I began changing out of my, now incredibly filthy and smelly, robe and changed into the new, fresh robe. I had to say the guy had done a perfect job, the new robe was just like the old one, and it felt even better. The material he used is amazing.
I stepped out and presented myself to the tailor. He walked a few circles around me, doing a last minute inspection for tears, loose stiches and other kinds of problems. As he circled me for the third time he nodded and then walked back to the counter and hit several buttons on the register and then looked at me. He motioned for me to look at the register, and when I saw the number my eyes widened. "My God I hope that's your phone number." I said as he shook his head no and I sighed. I fished my wallet out of my robe and got out a large amount of my yen and gave it to the guy. He smirked as he put the money in the register and then closed it.
"Hope you have a great day sir." He said as I glared at him slightly. "Hey don't blame me, I do have to make a livin' you know." He said as I let out an exasperated sigh and then nodded. He packed my new clothes, and my old pair, into paper bags and then handed me my change and then waved me good bye. "Hope to see you soon kid." He said as I walked out he door of the store. I had to say, I would never come back to this store unless hell froze over. I made my way down the street, heading back to my home, the ever comforting Hinata Sou.
General POV
Hinata Sou
Back at Hinata Sou most of the girls were hiding behind the kitchen door, Motoko was keeping her hand on the handle of her sword, preparing to draw it at a moments notice. Shinobu was shakily holding a frying pan with tears in her eyes. Su was just sitting on the floor behind them, smiling a wide smile. Kitsune was still trying to get her head around the entire situation. Meanwhile Keitaro was tied up with a gag in his mouth, next to him was Naru who was watching him closely, a look of slight regret in her eyes.
"Look I'm sorry, I'm afraid of you guys getting hurt but..." Naru said as she looked at Motoko and shivered. "I'm afraid of getting on Motoko's bad side more." Naru said as Keitaro sighed through his gag, and the nodded in a way that said 'I don't blame you'. In the next minute they all heard the front door sliding open.
"Hello everyone, I'm back!" They heard me yell as they heard a sliding door shut and as Motoko drew her sword while whispering.
"Get ready everyone, that pervert is coming in." She said, her voice laced with venom. The others just looked at her while nodding, each of them having their own seperate thoughts.
'I wonder when that kid had enough time to get a date, I sure as hell didn't notice anything...' Kitsune thought as she brought her hands up in front of her ready to punch something.
'Kenshin-kun...' Shinobu thought as she shakily held the frying pan to her face.
'I wonder if I should have bananas or mangos for breakfast?' Su thought as they all heard the sound of a few steps being taken towards the kitchen door and the door opening slowly before Keitaro spat the gag out of his mouth looked on with a look of panic on his face.
"RUN KENSHIN-SAN, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!" Keitaro said as Motoko nearly killed him.
Kenshin POV
I walked in just in time to see Motoko just about hit Keitaro hit with Motoko's sword, though she stopped to look at me, Shinobu staring at me with tears in her eyes and a frying pan in her hands, Kitsune staring at me with a lowered jaw and wide eyes, Su just sitting there smiling at me, and Naru looked at me with raised eyes. "Oh hello everyone." I said as I looked at the frying pan in Shinobu's hands. "Oh I'm sorry Shinobu-chan did I miss breakfast, man I made such an effort of getting back here after I picked up my clothes to eat your fabulous breakfast." I said as practically everyone in the room, minus Su and I, face vaulted into the ground.
"He..." Motoko said as she stared on.
"Was just..." Shinobu said next, staring on completely shocked by the events, and also wearing a huge blush from my compliment.
"Picking up his..." Kitsune said next, just as shocked as Shinobu was.
"Laundry..." Naru said next as her left eye twitched.
"Was all?" Keitaro finished as they all turned around to see Su sitting behind them, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly while she blushed and laughed a bit nervously.
"Well he was in such a hurry that I just figured that he had some kind of date..." Su said as Shinobu and Naru stared at her with a 'how do you manage to cause so much trouble' look, while Motoko looked at her with a 'well at least she's learning the true behavior of men' look. While Kitsune was looking with a 'what the hell is going on' look, as she still could not wrap her head around this entire thing.
"Date? What are you all talking about?" I asked as they all suddenly turned to me with estranged expressions.
"Oh nothing Kenshin-san, nothing at all!" Naru shouted as she waved her arms in front of her face.
"Then why is Keitaro-san tied up right behind you?" I asked as everyone turned to Keitaro, sweating profusely.
"We-well you see Keitaro-san accidentally walked in on us when we were taking a bath and so we decided to punish him by tieing him up." Kitsune said quickly as everyone began nodding quickly along with her.
"Oh I just can't leave you alone for one minute can I Keitaro-san." I said as I began laughing lightly and Keitaro laughed nervously. "Well Shinobu did I miss breakfast?" I asked as Shinobu blushed and looked down.
"Oh no, you haven't, in fact it should be ready in a few minutes..." Shinobu started saying as I began walking.
"Okay then, I'll just put these away." I said as I walked through the kitchen door, up the stairs, and through the halls to my room. I hung all of the rest of my robes on the hanger and smiled as I walked over to the counter and placed my wallet on it. I then made my way back to the kitchen, a spring in my step as I made my way downstairs. As I reached the bottom everyone had begun to eat breakfast. I sat down as I too began to dig in, this time faster than Su, like almost everyday I had a tough workout, afterall you don't rush all over town without eating breakfast and not have a huge appetite. As I finished I stood up, told everyone I was heading to the springs, and made my way to them as I did almost every morning.
I took off my in the locker room, but I was still exhausted beyond comprehension from the rush, and addrenaline withdrawl. I literally fell into the water and allowed the warm comfort to wash over my entire body, easing the pain and discomfort that had been set into my body, and also the dirty feeling I got every time I entered that tailor shop disappeared too. I stayed there for at least a half hour, I wasn't sure, when I heard people talking. I looked up and saw that all the tenants were back in Kitsune's room. I got up and walked into the locker room and got my sword. I went back into the springs, and threw my sword so that it would stick a few feet below the window of Kitsune's room. I then jumped around the springs until I as on top of my sword.
I then began listening intently to the conversation going on in the room. "Well girls, today is the day." I heard Kitsune say as I stood on my sword.
"Yes, it is time to put 'Operation Kickout' into action." Motoko said as I began leaning closer to the wall.
"Alright then, so this is how we'll begin..." I heard Kitsune begin saying as I heard wood snapping as I looked down to see my sword slowly pulling out of the ledge. It then fell completely out as I fell into the pool of water below me as the sword hit the ground. Kitsune looked out the window quickly, when she saw nothing she slipped back into her room. I got out of the water, and then got my sword and began making my way to the locker room. After I got dressed I made my way back to mine and Keitaro's room.
As I made my way in I saw Keitaro sitting down in front of his desk, leaning back on his hands as he stared at the ceiling. I sat down beside him and looked up to see what was so interesting. "How strange..." Keitaro said all of a sudden making me turn my head to face him.
"What is strange Keitaro-san?" I asked as he began sit up straight.
"Their sudden change of attitude towards us... and that Nana entrusted me with the dorm, what's on her mind anyway?" Keitaro said as he began pouring himself and I a cup of tea. I took the cup of tea and took a quick drink of it.
"I would not know Keitaro-san, afterall I have never met Hina-san, that I have not." I said as I took another drink of tea. Then all of a sudden Keitaro began smiling a calm, and relatively cheery smile.
"At least we have the right to live here now." He said taking a drink of his tea. "We're really going to have to thank Nana for this." Keitaro said while I nodded.
"Indeed, you owe Hina-san a lot for giving you this place, and I owe you a lot for allowing me to live in this place Keitaro-san." I said while Keitaro nodded as we both took another drink.
"Come to think of it. A female's dorm caretaker can't be assigned to just anyone." He said as he poured more tea into my cup and then refilled his.
"Indeed Keitaro-san." I said quickly agreeing with him while I took another drink.
"Hmmmm. I'm getting more and more excited about this." Keitaro said as a light blush appeared on his face. I hit him over the head with a paper fan as I took another drink. He sat there for a minuted, holding his head while looking at me. "What was that for?" Keitaro said while he nursed the tiny lump on his head.
"I'm sorry Keitaro-san, but you were kinda drifting off there for a second... and I'm starting to wonder if you really are a pervert or not, especially with your accident in the hot springs." I said while Keitaro blushed while holding his head.
"Yeah I guess I was, sorry about that, and thanks for snapping me out of it... and could we please forget that." He said while taking another drink.
"You're welcome, and I guess so, now then it's November now so you better get back to studying." I said while Keitaro nodded and went straight into one of the study guides on the table as we heard a knock on the door. The door slid open as Keitaro turned his head to see..
"M-Mitsune?!" Keitaro said shocked as the young woman entered our room.
"I have a favor to ask of you two." She said as she left the room. "Come here a second will you two?" She asked as she motion for us to follow her. We did follow her, all the way down to the first floor.
"'Come with you' where to exactly?" Keitaro asked as we continued walking.
"The hot springs." Kitsune said non-chalantly.
"WHAT?! THE HOT SPRINGS!?" Keitaro and I shouted as Kitsune began to walk into the locker room.
"Come on in." She said as she opened the sliding door to the locker room for the hot springs and we followed, though Keitaro and I were a bit nervous about it. Kitsune then, as we entered, walked over to Keitaro and began unbuttoning his shirt.
"HEY HEY!" Keitaro shouted as he tried to back away from Kitsune.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING MITSUNE-SAN!?!??!" I shouted as blood started crawling out of my nose.
"Taking of your clothes." Kitsune said non-chalantly once again, as she continued to unbutton Keitaro's shirt.
"WAIT A MINUTE!" Keitaro shouted again as Kitsune looked up to him with a blush on her face.
"What are you saying? These clothes make you clumsy. How can you do anything with these on hmmm?" Kitsune said making Keitaro blush, after she was done pestering Keitaro she started walking over to me. Before she could get her hand within two feet of me I grabbed her hand. She looked at me with raised eyebrows as she smirked playfully and a light blush on her face. "Oh come on little guy, don't tell me you're shy?" Kitsune said in a slightly seductive tone.
I blushed greatly as I put her hands back at her sides. "I-I'll be fine with the-these on Kitsune-san." I said as Kitsune shrugged and led us into the hot springs where all of the other tenants, minus Naru, were standing there. "What are you all doing here?!" I asked/shouted while blushing like crazy, Keitaro blushing along with me, figuring that something really weird was about to happen.
"We want both of you to wash these hot springs." Motoko said as she through a pair of jean shorts to Keitaro.
"Yeah, with all of us bathing here, especially Kenshin-kun, it has become filthy." Shinobu said as she through Keitaro a shirt.
"So we want you to wash it until it's squeaky clean!!!" Su shouted as a few mops at me and Keitaro.
"And don't stop until you're finished." Kitsune said as she gave us a few buckets filled with soapy water. As they left Keitaro just looked at them with a look of shock on his face.
"Wait why do we have to do this alone?!" Keitaro shouted as I nodded with him.
"Because you're the landlord." Motoko said pointing to Keitaro. "And because you're the groundkeeper." She said pointing to me. "Get used to it, afterall it's a part of your job." Motoko said as they all left. Keitaro and I turned around to see the entire hot springs, all of them drained so we could clean it more easily, and most of them with lots of grime at the bottom of most of the pools. We both sighed as we began working. In the middle of our working I began cleaning a bit more quickly, my training under Hiko was useful for more than just the art of swords.
"Kenshin-san, why don't you take off those robes?" Keitaro said as I turned to him.
"Well these are just so comfortable, I mean feel this sleeve." I said as I lifted my arm and Keitaro put his hand on it.
"Wow, that is good stuff." He said as I nodded.
"Yeah, now that I wear it it isn't any wonder that it cost so much, that it isn't." I said as we continued.
A hour later we finished most of the hot springs, we both sat at the edge of one of the pools we had completely cleaned. We had refilled it with water and now just sitting on the edge of some of the springs, I was soaking my feet in the water while Keitaro was just blowing on some bruises on his hands. "Why is this hot spring area so large? How will we finish it all on our own?" Keitaro whined while blowing on his hands. Ordinarily I hate people who whine, but in this case I was way too tired to berate him for his whining, and my feet were killing me.
"My hands are bruised and are hurting all over." Keitaro said as he continued blowing on his hands. I just sat up completely and looked at him.
"My feet are killing me, if I so much as take another step it feels like they'll fall off." I said while while pulling out my feet and putting them back into the sandals.
Keitaro looked at me and frowned. "I'm sorry, that's right. You're helping me, I'm sorry for complaining so much..." Keitaro said as I sighed.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired is all..." I said as I looked over the entire hot spring area.
"Quitting for now would seem to be a good idea..." Keitaro sighed as I nodded in agreement with him. I was so tired that I barely heard the footsteps sneaking up behind Keitaro.
"Hey, were you saying something!" Naru semi-shouted as Keitaro literally leaped into the air and sent the bucket of water right up into the air with him. I saw the bucket slowly fall, I knew where it would land so I pulled out my sword, and set myself into my stance.
"Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu: Ryusosen (Supersonic Sword Technic: Dragon's Nest Strike)!" I shouted as I cut the bucket, and the water into several small pieces. The bucket pieces flew all over the place, while the now driplets of water fell like rain, and actually formed a small rainbow as the sun reflected from the water driplets. Keitaro and Naru stared at it with mouths gaping open. When it ended they both looked in my direction.
"Wow Kenshin-san, that was incredible..." They both said at the same time as they saw me sheath my blade. I smiled lightly and then nodded.
"Thank you two, years of training has helped me with the God-like speed you see me use." I said as Naru and Keitaro raised their eyebrows, warrenting an explanation. "Well, like I've been saying my style is called Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu, the Supersonic Sword Technic, and the name tells you what the style is all about, speed. But, there is a catch to this sword style, immense amounts of phyiscal training are required to help keep the speed up, but also the power behind the swings." I said as I had captivated Naru and Keitaro. "Now then, if you don't mind Naru-san, if you could get done what you came here for so we can finish the cleaning.
Naru nodded as she pulled out a box of bandages out of her pocket and handed it to Keitaro. "Here, I figured you guys may need these." She said as Keitaro and I stared at the box.
"Gee thanks Naru..." Keitaro said as we looked up and saw that she was already leaving the hot springs area.
"No problem!" She shouted as she left, leaving us with the rest of the hot springs to clean... on our own...
It was another few hours later when we finished our task. We were in our room after we were finished, both Keitaro and I exhausted beyond belief. Keitaro was leaning on the floor in his boxers, he stripped down to his boxers to help him cool himself off, and was covered in bandages. Meanwhile I was winded on the other side of the room, this chore wasn't as tough as Hiko's training, but it was pretty high up there.
"Finished cleaning up at last..." Keitaro sighed as he leaned futher into the floor. He turned over and began wiping his brow with a cloth. "I didn't expect a caretakers job to be so hard. My expectations were really too fantastic." Keitaro said as I nodded. Keitaro put on his glasses and looked at the ceiling for a few seconds before he noticed the hole in the ceiling. "OH NO!" Keitaro shouted as he stood up. "Darn it. There's a hole in the ceiling. This place is in worse state than I thought." He said as he stacked a stool on top of a table and stood on top of it.
"I should fix this up quickly afterall I am the caretaker." Keitaro said as I quickly tried to squirm over to where Keitaro was so that I could stop him, but I was going no place fast. "Afterall I am the caretaker." Keitaro said as I paniked and began actually moving at a noticable pace. "Huh? What's this? There's a cover here." Keitaro said as I stood up and began waving my hands in front of my face.
"Wait Keitaro-san, shouldn't a hole like that lead to another..." I began saying as I heard Keitaro lift up on the lid.
When I heard no screaming, and no sounds of someone choking I looked up and saw Keitaro climbing down from the stool, no blush on his face.
"Well what do you know, the hole leads to Narusegawa-san's room." Keitaro said as he walked over to his desk and sat back down. My eyebrows were raised so high that you would think that they would just tear right off my face at any minute. Then, all of a sudden, I became curious. I stood up, slowly, and got on top of the stool on top of the table. And when I looked up I knocked a few times.
"Is that you again Keitaro-san?" I heard Naru say from the other side of the lid.
"No this is Kenshin..." I said in a slightly displaced tone.
"Oh Kenshin-san, something wrong?" I heard Naru say as I heard steps being made across the room.
"No, I was just thinking... that's your room up there?" I said as I heard a hum on the other side of the lid.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" She asked as I heard the sound of a sliding door slide open, it was most likely her closet.
"Well its just for future reference Naru-san..." I said I heard her hum again.
"Yeah okay, I get it." Naru said as I heard the sound of her closet closing.
"Okay then, well I guess I'll just..." I began saying as the stool broke underneath me, man the things in this place really were in terrible condition, as I barely grabbed onto the ledge of the hole in time to stop me from falling. Flashbacks from accidents during mine and Hiko's training flashed through my mind, there were several, and in most cases involved me falling from even the smallest of distances, so naturally I began to panic. "HELP, I'M GOING TO FALL!!!" I shouted as the lid flew open above me.
"Hold on Kenshin-san I'm..." Naru said as we stared at each other for a few seconds. Naru, who apparently was changing clothes from this mornings little 'rain show' I put on, was only wearing her bra. We both began blushing as Naru started shaking. "YOU..." I heard her begin saying as she pulled her entire arm back. "PERVERT!!!" She shouted as she hit me right in the face, sending me flying into the table underneath, causing it to collapse, on top of Keitaro, who had been under me to try and catch me, and on the floor. Naru stared for a few minutes before speaking. "Kenshin-san, Keitaro-san..." he said quietly as Keitaro non-chalantly pushed me off of him and then stood.
"We're okay Narusegawa-san, at least I think we are." Keitaro said as Naru 'humphed' and closed the lid to her room, leaving me and Keitaro down here, me in a little bit of a panic attack, until I calmed down, and loooked at Keitaro embarassed.
"Ke-Keitaro-san..." I gasped out as I stood up. "Sorry, my training with Hiko left me with a few mental scars.
"Oh okay, I just thought you were acrophobic" Keitaro said as he looked at me.
"Why does everyone hurt... me?" I said as I sighed.
"I don't know, but things will get better..." Keitaro said as I stood up.
"Really?" I asked, hoping Keitaro had as much hope for the situation as I did.
"Nope." He said making me face vault into the floor.
General POV
Meanwhile Naru and the other tenants were meeting in Kitsune's room. "How could I have been so blind?! That kid really is a pervert!" Naru shouted as she slammed her hand on the table.
"So this means you'll help us kick out Kenshin and Keitaro." Kitsune said as Naru flinched and then sighed.
"Keitaro is just a by-stander... but..." Naru said as she looked up, her face filled with a look of determination. "I'LL GIVE MY FULL COOPERATION ON 'OPERATION KICK-OUT'! THAT KIND OF PERVERT, EVEN IF HE IS JUST A KID, DOESN'T BELONG HERE. AND EVEN IF KEITARO IS JUST A BY-STANDER, LET'S TELL THEM TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!" Naru shouted as the rest of the tenants kinda just stared at her, with their mouths gaping wide open.
Kenshin POV
Meanwhile, again, Keitaro and I were sitting in our room. Keitaro had put on some more clothes as we both sat down and looked over some study guide questions. "I see, so A squared plus B squared equals C squared?" Keitaro asked as he wrote the information down on the guide (a cookie for the person who names what that is).
"Yes, you're doing much better in Geometry than before Keitaro-san, that you are." I said as Keitaro smirked and continued writing in the guide. Then we heard footsteps, rushing down the hall towards our room. In the next instance Naru threw the sliding door open shut, shocking Keitaro and myself out of our skins.
"Can I ask you two a favor? Manager, grounds keeper?" Naru said as she grabbed us by our collars.
"Umm. Su... sure." Keitaro said as I nodded.
She threw us out into the hallway and pointed. "First things first: please clean all of the halls between the first and third floors." Naru said shocking Keitaro.
"All of them!!!" Keitaro and I shouted as Naru nodded.
"Yep, afterall it is both of your two's jobs." Naru said as the house shook again. She, Kitsune, and everyone else who were hiding behind a corner, looked to see me comig out of our room, only wearing my white underclothes that I normally wore under my robes.
"Well then Keitaro-san if we're going to do these chores I suffest that we'd best hurry up and do them before dinner." I said as I rolled out my shoulder as they stared at me. "Besides I really don't feel to well after cleaning the hot springs." I said as I grabbed a cloth and got on all fours, leaning on my hands as they held the cloth. "Well Keitaro-san, are you going to join me?" I asked as Keitaro nodded and also got a cloth and got down beside me. "Afterall..." I started as I looked at him grinning, which made him grin too.
"It is our job." He finished as we both began wiping the floors down, both of us keeping up a pretty good speed as Naru watched us. I noticed though as she watched us she did so dumb-founded. As if she couldn't believe we were, or I was, doing this without complaining. As we finished we stood in front of her kneeling, Keitaro from exhaustion, me out of respect.
"Is there anything else we need to do Naru-san?" I asked as Keitaro straightened up and nodded vigorously. Naru stared at us before shaking her head quickly.
"Yes." She responded rather quickly as she led us to the first floor, to a pretty old room with a cast-iron stove thing. "Now I want you two to cook for us, using this stove" She said as I rolled up my sleeves.
"Let's get going Keitaro-san!" I shouted as I ran over to the stove, while holding a spoon in my hand like a sword.
"HAI!" Keitaro shouted as he got out a pretty big fan and also ran over to the stove, and began furiously fanning it while I began mixing a meal on in, or on it, not exactly sure how it worked. We finished this task much fast then the last. We stood in front of Naru, some of Keitaro's left eyebrow burnt off, while a bunch of soot covered my face as she looked at us with a look of shock. "Any other taks Narusegawa-san..." Keitaro said rather weakly as we stood in front of a dumb-struck Naru.
"Ye-yeah there are more things to do!" Naru shouted as she dragged us to the laundry room, where we saw a bucket with a strainer next to it. "I want you two to do the laundry by hand!" Naru shouted as Keitaro jumped to the bucket and began cleaning the clothes, and after he finished that he gave them to me to hang on the different drying wires. After all the clothes were on wires Keitaro gave me a beater and looked at me.
"Ready Kenshin-san?" Keitaro said as I held the beater out in front of me.
"Ready..." I said as I bent down into my stance. "Everyone in the area pay attention." I said out loud as I heard several gasps come from the other side of the door. "I shall now use the sacred arts of the Hiten Mitsurugi Clothes Drying Ryu!!!" I shouted as everyone sweatdropped.
'Clothes Drying Ryu?' Everyone thought as I sped foward towards all of the clothes.
"Hiten Mitsutrugi Clothes Drying Ryu: Ryusosen Chore Style (Supersonice Sword Clothes Drying Technique: Dragon's Nest Strike Chore Style)!!!" I shouted as I vigorously began beating on all of he clothes, slowly but surely drying them out at god speed. As I finished, and all of the clothes were dry me and Keitaro quickly grabbed the clothes off the wires and began folding them rather quickly, and putting them into baskets. As we finsihed with that task we stood in front of Naru, she stood even more shocked then before.
"Is there any other tasked Naru-san/Narusegawa-san?!" Keitaro and I both suprisingly shouted as Naru could only nod as the sun began to set. She led us out to the front of the building and pointed to buckets of paint.
"Now... oh you get the idea. Repaint the outer wall of Hinata Sou. Apply the fireproofing as well." Naru said as we picked up the buckets and rushed, well I did, to the ropes that would get us into the air so we could paint. Me using various Hiten Mitsurugi Wall Painting Ryu to speed up the process.. As we finished well after nightfall, we stood in front of Naru, a bit dirtied up and with blotches of paint on us, as she just looked at us as if we were posessed by the Devil himself. "How in..." Naru muttered as we heard the sound of Shinobu call everyone to dinner, it was a little hard because Keitaro's and my stomach growled loudly.
We walked in to see everyone sitting at the table. Joyfully eating the food set out by Shinobu. Keitaro and I walked towards the table, or more or less walked towards it like zombies. "Foooooood..." I moaned out as I approached.
"Huuunnnnggrrryyyy." Keitaro moaned out as we approached. Naru walked over to the fridge and pulled out two cups of cup ramen out of it, walked over to our seats and slammed them in front of us.
"Take it. These are yours." Naru said as everyone began to walk away as we stared at the food. "And you can boil the water yourselves!" Naru shouted as Keitaro began crying streams of tears.
"Ke-Kenshin-san..." Keitaro sobbed out. "Is this our job?" Keitaro sobbed out as he looked at me. I knew this was our job, I knew that I needed to keep up a happy face... But I was so hungry... I began crying hysterically, and shortly after Keitaro followed. We took our cups of cup ramen, boiled the water and put it in the ramen. We made our way to the hot springs, our only hope of salvation. When we approached we saw a sign posted on the door.
"'Until the springs are ready for you two, you stay here!' Stay where though?" Keitaro said as we noticed another sign with an arrow on it, leading us down another hall. We kept on following the arrow signs until we reached a small room with two giant bucket things filled with hot water. We both sighed as we undressed to our boxers and got into the buckets. We both fully opened our cup ramen and began eating. "Oh my, to think I had expected that being the caretaker of a female dorm has its good points..." Keitaro said as he shook a bit in the tub thing.
"All we do is hard work, physical work. We don't even experience the good things here. We're so busy we can't even get to my studies..." Keitaro said as he began eating the cup ramen, while I stared at him, with a look of sorrow equaling his. "And Naru... why is she being so mean to us, I mean considering you saw her in her bra but hat was an accident." He said as I nodded and took a slurp of the ramen. "I'm glad you're around Kenshin-san or else I wouldn't know what to do..." Keitaro said as he looked up and saw me smiling.
"Hey this stuff isn't half-bad." I said as Keitaro just stared at me. "Mine's beaf, what's yours?" I asked as Keitaro face vaulted.
"Kenshin-san, how can you be so happy!?" Keitaro half asked, half shouted. I tapped my chin for a few seconds before answering.
"It's good ramen." I said as he face vaulted again. "And Keitaro things aren't that bad. Sure we do hard labor, but it is making me stronger so I can't complain about that. We are getting food and a room with a view for relatively nothing so I have to be thankful for that too. I guess I'm just plain old happy that I'm alive." I said as I smiled while taking another slurp of ramen. I looked over and saw that Keitaro began smiling too, as he also took a slurp of his ramen.
"Chicken." He said suddenly as I looked at him. "I have chicken flavored ramen!" He semi-shouted as we both laughed. "Man Kenshin-san you know how to lighten the mood." Keitaro said as we finished eating our ramen. We got out of the tubs and began redressing. We then made our way back down to the first floor.
"I think we should try to sneak some real food out of the refridgerator, what do you think?" I said as I grinned, a similar one appearing on Keitaro's face. Just then we both heard a cry for help coming from the hot springs. Without thinking we both started running towards the hot springs as another shriek of shear terror was let loose. We busted through the doors leading to the locker room, and then we busted through the doors leading to the hot springs. "Is something wrong!" I shouted as I drew out my sword and Keitaro followed behind me.
We both froze up as we saw Kitsune and Su on each side of Naru, squeezing her 'lovelies' as they sat blushing. Motoko stood not too far away, forcing a towel around her, her face turning red from embarrassment and anger at the same time. Shinobu was about ten feet in front of us, barley out of her towel. She began crying as she ran behind Motoko, holding her towel close to her as well.
"You two..." Naru growled as she threw a bucket aimed at my head. I ducked quickly, dodgind the bucket aimed at my head. But as a result it hit Keitaro square in the face. He held his face in pain as Kitsune threw a bucket aimed at my left side. I quickly moved right a bit to dodge that one, but it ended up hitting Keitaro in the gut, causing him to bend down a little. Motoko threw the next bucket aimed at my crotch, I jumped to dodge that one, but at that moment Keitaro looked up while bending over and got hit square in the face with the bucket, sending him flying back into the locker room.
While I was still up in the air Naru threw yet another bucket towards my head, I did not see this one coming and therefore was sent flying back into the locker room as well. I quickly shout up to clost the door before they threw anything else at us. As I did I heard the sound of several objects hitting the door, in fact barely two inches from my face Motoko's sword came straight through the door, almost cutting me. I took a few steps back from the door as Keitaro began coming to. We both ran back to our room before anything else could happen, and we locked it to prevent anyone or anything from entering.
We both sat there for a few minutes, we decided that before we went to studying, that we should get any perverted thoughts out of our heads. Our faces went through so many different color changes that it was amazing that neither of us blew blood out of our noses. That was the first few minutes, but after that... that was when the blood began flowing. My thoughts began revolving around so many different weird things that Hiko told me that I blew at least three quarts of blood out until I was done.
Keitaro... wasn't so lucky... he blew gallons of blood out of his nose.. in just five minutes... the rest of the, eventual, half-hour he blew out at least one-hundred. We had to get clean the room so hard, and for so long that it was ten o'clock at night before we could even begin Keitaro's study session.
"Okay so the word 'man' in English is used as a verb?" Keitaro asked as I shook my head.
"No, the word 'man' is usually used as a noun describing a adult male. The only times it comes close to being a verb is in the slang term 'oh man'." I said as Keitaro nodded as he wrote more in the study guide.
"You two are still awake?" We heard come from the ceiling as Naru's lindo-kun doll popped down from the ceiling. "You two are idiots. And not just idiots but perverts too! I can't believe this..." Naru said as Keitaro just looked blankly at the doll. "A couple of guys can't make it as a manager and grounds keeper at a girl's dorm! Why don't you both just quit!?" Naru said as the lindo-kun was retracted back to Naru room and Keitaro sighed. "And you both suck with girls too." She said making an imaginary five-hundred ton weight fall on top of Keitaro's head. "And now you made Shinobu cry." Naru said as Keitaro straightened back up.
He tried to say something, but couldn't. He didn't have a response to what she was saying. I did though, but saying it would just put me and Keitaro in a worse predicament. So I would at least try to defend us. "Look we're sorry, we heard someone cry for help and we thought that something had happened." I said as Keitaro nodded vigorously.
"Yeah right." Naru said as we heard her shut the lid to her room, effectively cutting us off from her.
"Man, why is she being so cruel?" Keitaro asked as we sat there for a few seconds.
"Well Keitaro-san, she does have a lot of reasons for doing so I suppose..." I said flatly as Keitaro sighed and nodded.
"Yeah, you're right..." Keitaro said as we both sighed.
"Hey, how about this, tomorrow we'll be more careful!" I said as Keitaro looked up and nodded.
"Yeah, we're the managers, well I am, you're the care taker, of this place, its time we start acting like it!" Keitaro said, his voice filled with newly restored vigor.
"Yeah, tomorrow we'll make this entire day up to everyone!" I shouted as Keitaro shook his head furiously. "Alright then first thing we'll do is..." I began saying as I told Keitaro of the plan. Meanwhile in the room above Naru was holding her ear to the floor, listening to us talk, she stopped listening after I began telling Keitaro about the plan, afterall she actually, ACTUALLY, wanted to be suprised. She walked over to her futon and layed down in it.
"Heh. Maybe they aren't screw ups afterall." Naru said as she began dozing off into the night.
OMAKE
I opened the door to the shop to find that it looked almost exactly like it did the last time I was here, buisness really wasn't booming. I walked up to the counter and rang the bell twice, and the same man from yesterday walked out. "Alright your orders done, just take off your clothes in the changing room and come to the back room." He said as I raised my eyebrow.
"Why?" I asked as he just sighed.
"So you can try them on, afterall if there are any flaws in then I need to be able to see them right?" He asked as I thought about it for a minute.
"I... guess you're right." I said as I walked into the changing area and changed out of my clothes and then walked back out. When I did the guy was no where in sight.
"I'm in the back room, just hurry up so you can pay me." He said as I nodded and walked back there. When I did I didn't see him, or my order, all I saw was this giant hole that wasn't there when I was last here.
"Sir, I don't see you anywhere, all I see is this ho-aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!" I said as I fell into the hole, fell to the very bottom. I laid at the bottom of the hole for a second before I stood up and dusted myself off. "Sir could you help me I think I tripped and fell into the..." I said as I looked up and saw the man, now wearing a women's dress, make-up, a wig, and carrying a little white dog. "Uuummmmm... nice get up." I said as he threw something at my head. "OW! WHAT DID YOU... skin lotion?" I said as I read the lable on the bottle. "What do I need this for?" I asked as he sneered.
"It puts the lotion on its skin!" He shouted as a giant sweat drop appeared on the back of my head.
"Why would I need lotion my skin is already so silky smoo..." I began saying as all of a sudden a giant stream of water hit me, and soaked me to the bone. "WHAT THE HELL?!!?!?" I screamed, just about having enough of this weirdo.
"It puts the lotion on its skin or else it get the hose again!" The man said while holding a giant hose, pointed at me.
"Alright, alright, I'm puting the lotion on my skin so I don't get the hose again!!!" I screamed as the guy smiled and then started licking his dog. "Okay, I did not need to see that." I said as he glared at me and then pointed to my side.
"It puts the lotion in the basket!" He said as I followed his finger to a basket beside me. I smirked as I looked up and saw him holding the rope that would hoist up the basket.
"Okay, sure, I'll put SOMETHING in the basket." I said as I threw the bottle of lotion at his head, causing him to drop the rope into the hole. "FREEDOM!!!" I shouted as I jumped into the basket and pulled my way up. The guy was just getting up when I reached the top of the hole, and then ran over him. I put on my clothes quickly and ran out of that tailor shop, swearing to never go back again. I got all the way back to Hinata Sou and I saw everyone there waiting right there for me. "Guy, and girls, you won't believe what just happened!" I said as Motoko held her blade to my throat. "WHAT NOW?!!?!?" I asked as Motoko put her finger on my face, and then glared at me.
"Why are you wearing... skin lotion..." She said as her eyes became demonic.
"Well you see.." I began rubbing the back of my head. "It is a funny story that it is..." I said as I felt Motoko get angrier.
"I'M SURE IT IS PERVERT!!!" Motoko shouted as she, Kitsune, Shinobu, and Su began jumping on me, beating me in the worst ways possible.
