Chapter 6

"Dad, you're here!" Nanako announced

"Hey Nanako, Souji what kept you guys?" Dojima greeted them

"We were shopping at Junes. Souji bought me some clothes for tomorrow and my birthday presents." Nanako smiled

"Birthday presents, did you make Souji buy you presents?" Dojima asked with a serious look on his face

"It's no bother, I have a lot of time to make up for and besides Nanako is happy." Souji reassured him.

When Souji came out of his room with his new outfit he saw Nanako modelling her new clothes for Dojima "These look expensive!" Dojima stated

"Actually they were from the sale rack." Souji smiled

"Let's go for something to eat." Dojima suggested. Souji and Nanako left the room and followed Dojima to the restaurant "So what would you like to eat?" Dojima asked

"I ... want ...a ....Chicken curry, what about you Souji?" Nanako answered

"I think I'll have the same." Souji answered with a smile. Dojima ordered the food while Souji and Nanako took their seats near the window.

"I bet you didn't know that Yukiko Amagi is the same age as you and she owns the inn and is the head chef." Nanako bragged about Yukiko.

"I didn't know that she was the chef, that's very interesting but also quite scary compared to what I have accomplished." Souji admitted

"I wouldn't say that from what your mum and dad told me you are quite the young genius, I bet you could even give Naoto a run for her money." Dojima complimented him as he brought the food back to the table "Speaking of Naoto I invited her to your birthday since she has helped us so much as a family, and by the way she is single."

Nanako laughed "Souji and Naoto sitting in a tree k i s s i n g!"

Souji shook his head "I would like to meet the great detective princess but not for that reason, by the way what's going to happen to the house?"

"Well contractors are going to start working on the house tomorrow but it won't be finished until after Nanakos birthday" Dojima answered

"What will happen with my party?" Nanako sulked

"I spoke to Yosuke today and he said that we can have the party at the Junes food court if you wanted." Souji attempted to lift her spirits

"And I can cook the meal if you want." Yukiko appeared at the table

"Really, that would be excellent!" Nanako cheered

"You know Souji you have only been here a few days and you have already did a lot for us." Dojima complemented

"You sound like a pretty great guy Souji. I think I will keep an eye on you." Yukiko laughed. Wow Yukiko is so carefree. She is dealing with the stress as well as having fun. "I will see you at the party." Yukiko said goodbye

Souji headed upstairs with Nanako and Dojima and went straight to bed after an exhausting day, Souji lay on his bed when the TV turned on and started crackling.

"Sensei.... Sensei....Sensei" a familiar voice called out to him

"Teddie, Teddie is that you?" Souji tried to communicate

"Something...something coming after....you....Kyuubi-no-Kitsune...be....careful...." the TV turned off and Souji went into a deep sleep.
