Okay, I'm back with another chapter, so far there have been some people messaging me warning me about the slippery slope I am on with trying to write this story.

So heres to answer your questions

Noodles: Yes, you're absolutely right, and I am working on trying to make it so he isn't perfect which is why I am going to introduce flaws that the character has, and the romance I don't plan on making a quick thing, I at least want to get twenty chapters in before anything like that. I just ask that you be patient, and if by chance the story doesn't go the way you want, then thats okay too.

Wittman the Tiger Ace: Yeah I was originally going to go with Sean Mercer, but lets just say there is a reason I chose John Wayne's name from 'The Quiet Man' over the others. But yeah, I know its weird, but for some reason I really wanted to make the character from Texas instead of Pennsylvania, so that's why hes named after the character but isn't the character himself, despite sharing the obvious boxing training. After all, I couldn't have him just train in weapons.

Kenislav: Thanks for the info, I know the age of consent is different in other countries, but it still feels kind of weird considering that the age of consent is 18 in the US, and I've lived here my whole life. So its kind of a weird adjustment to make, especially considering the character in this fic is close to 20 or 21.

Yrio: Well thats why there is a poll up for the pairing on my profile.

Besides, I imagine my OC is going to get into a ton of awkward situations considering his grasp of the Japanese culture and language isn't quite what it should be.

AT THE INN

"YOU...You want a room?" Keitaro asked Sean as he raised an eyebrow.

"Eh, yeah isn't that what a dorm is for?" He asked as a few more people entered the room.

"You can't stay here!" Another angry voice called out as Sean looked up.

This time it was a brunette and some drunk looking lady who were staring at him one with pure rage, and the other with a sleazy drunk expression. Seriously? What was it with the women in this place and being extremely angry? He could hear his grandpa in his head saying it had to be that time of the month, but he filed that voice away.

"Uh, why not? That old lady Hina said it was fine? I even got a note here." He said as that did nothing to help the situation, if anything it only made them angrier.

"I don't care! We already have one pervert around here! We don't need another!" She said as Sean just lifted his hand up in defense.

"Okay first all, I don't know why you suddenly assume I'm a pervert, secondly, why does this mean so much to you? I don't get it." He said as she finally let it loose.

"THIS IS A GIRLS DORMITORY! I'LL SAY IT AGAIN! MEN DON'T BELONG HERE!" She yelled out as he could have sworn her face turned red...this lady had issues.

"Uh, okay, I didn't know this was a girls dorm, so...why is he here then?" He asked as he pointed to Keitaro.

"He's the manager that's different." She said as Keitaro was still reading over the note.

"Uhm, Naru...you might want to look at this." Keitaro said as she walked over and snatched the note out of his hand.

It only took her a few seconds after reading it that she lost his shit.

"WHHHHAAAATTTTT?! GRANNY IS CONSIDERING MAKING THIS CO ED?!" She yelled out as Sean could have sworn he felt his ear drums burst.

"WHAT?!" Motoko and the drunk one yelled out and looked over at the note.

"Dear girls, I imagine you're getting along just fine with Keitaro, this is Sean, I found him while I was on tour in America, he is planning on attending Tokyo U and was in need fo a place to stay, I was never one to turn down a soul in need as you all know. So I hope that you all treat him with the same respect you show Keitaro...Love Hina." Was all the note said as Sean suddenly felt like he had made a HUGE mistake coming here.

"I...Can't...Believe this..." Naru said as she was trembling.

"I don't really mind." The drunk one said as got a mischievous glint in her eye...that couldn't be good.

"You better not try anything." The crazy sword slinging lady from earlier warned...Seriously what was with these women?

"DID I HEAR NEW PERSON?!" He heard a voice say as he suddenly felt someone kick him from behind.

"WOAH WHAT THE HELL?!" He yelled as suddenly he was turned over to see a very...VERY smiley girl.

"Hi! I'm Kaolla! Is it true you'll be staying here?!" She asked as he was too dazed to respond.

"Uhhhhhh." He said still not sure about what happened.

"AWESOME! NEW PLAYMATE!" She said as she sped off again.

"What the hell was that? Did I just get tackled by sonic the hedgehog?" He asked as he could have sworn he felt his spine break from that kick.

"Oh thats just Su, you'll get used to it after awhile." Keitaro said as the girls looked at him.

"Keitaro! You're not seriously considering taking him in?" Naru said with narrowed eyes.

"Well, It is grandma's orders, are you really asking me to refuse her?" He asked trying to placate the situation.

She was just getting angrier and angrier until finally Keitaro's danger sense went off and he grabbed Sean by the arm and pulled him away.

"I'LL SHOW YOU TO YOUR ROOM! COME ON!" He said, and with strength he didn't know he had, he zoomed out of the room and was actually dragging Sean behind him.

"KEEEEEIIIIITTTTTAAAARRROOOOO!" He heard the brunette one scream out.

"Uhm...is it always like this around here?" He asked as he wasn't even sure if he wanted to know the answer.

"Its not as bad as it looks." He said as they suddenly felt the house shake.

"At times." He added as that must have been Naru punching one of the pillars in the house.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

Keitaro did manage to find him a room. However there were a few problems, first off it was right next to the crazy samurai lady that tried to attack him earlier. Secondly it obviously had seen better days, it used to be an old storeroom, so Sean and Keitaro had to move quite a lot of stuff out of the way in order to get it ready for habitation. Add that onto the fact that they also had to procure him a mattress as well as basic utilities, it was surprisingly a lot of work.

The room was pretty spartan with only a bed, a nightstand and a lamp. Luckily Sean did have some way to make it look a bit more like someone lived there. First thing he did was take out the two swords he had brought with him and hang them up on the wall in a sword over sword position so it looked a bit like the US Cavalry symbol that you would see on old uniforms as well as old civil war movies. He had also brought along a few posters with him, such as a poster of the US Olympic team, a texas longhorns football poster, the poster from The empire strikes back. And for an added bit of home, he put up his flag of texas in the corner of the room.

It wasn't much but it would do for now. Luckily he had brought along a few books to read, including The rise of Theodore Roosevelt, The Maxims of Robert E Lee, as well as a book about medieval fantasy that his ex girlfriend had introduced him to.

He would have brought along his school books, but considering he would just have to buy new ones, he left them at home. Besides all they were were books from his old classes. They obviously wouldn't help him with the Tokyo U entrance exams. There in lied another problem. He had brought along his 'Japanese Language for Dummies' Book. And he kind of felt stupid reading it.

One, it was a fairly complicated language for him to learn, two, learning on his own was not the brightest idea, since he figured he would need a partner, but considering most of the people he had met so far seemed to hate his guts, he opted against it, he would have asked Keitaro, but last he checked, he was busy sorting out expenses, so once again that was out of the question.

At the current time, he would have to practice by himself until someone was willing to help him with it. But that didn't sound too bad, after all he still had a few months before the exam, plenty of time to get better at the language and hopefully understand the written language. Still though, not bad for what some would consider a backwoods kid.

"Dinner will be served in an hour." He looked up to see crazy sword lady.

"Thank you." He said as he expected her to go away, only to see she had crossed her eyes and was still looking at him.

"Did I not say it right or something?" He said as he could have sworn he had 'Thank you' in the language covered.

"You said it right, I just don't trust you." She said trying to be as intimidating as she could, add that on to the fact that she was keeping things short and simple for him, he found her kind of condescending.

"Okay...I don't see why not. I haven't really done anything to you...Are you just going to sit there and stare at me for the whole time I live here? Because I like my privacy." He said as this woman was creeping him the hell out.

"I just want to let you know that if you do anything out of line, you will have me to deal with." She said as she narrowed her eyes at him once again.

Sean was getting a little angry now, this girl would just not stop being such a judgmental condescending jerk.

"You know, first off, I'm not so easily disposed of, and while I will admit that you probably have trained more than me considering your stance and the fact that Keitaro told me about you being part of some famous school, you could at least try to hold your judgement until you get to know me better." He said as once again, his words did not get through her skull.

"I have no intention of getting to know you." She said as she turned around and left.

Sean decided to breath in and out so he got his anger under control, to be honest he had dealt with people like her before, but usually it was always a person that he had known for awhile, and while they eventually got what was coming to them, he didn't even know this woman before today, and based on what he could gather, she was making judgement about him because he was a man...wow that was actually pretty sexist.

He shook his head of the thoughts and tried to calm down, while he liked to think he had gotten better, he was one to admit that he did have some slight anger issues. And it did get him into trouble a lot, especially as a kid, when he got sick of a older kid picking on him, so he threw a punch. Course it didn't help that the kids friends were there and helped gang up on him. He ended up going home with a split lip and a black eye, and also got suspended for a week, but at least he got a few good punches in.

But he was pretty sure he couldn't do the same here, especially since now that he was an adult, he could get evicted from this place, or even worse Jail. So he was going to try and be the bigger man and not let it get to him. Course he had been having this conversation with himself for the past six years...needless to say sometimes he just snapped.

"I just want to let you know that I don't approve of you being here either." Naru said as she had suddenly shown up in the doorway.

"Oh come on! Can't one person just be happy to see me!" He said raising his voice a bit.

"I AM!" The hyperactive girl from earlier said from another floor.

"THANK YOU!" He yelled back, she may have been a little twitchy and weird, but at least she was enthusiastic.

"You better not try anything with her!" She said clenching her fists.

"Like what? I'm just sitting here studying right now." He said as he didn't understand why this woman was so pissed off...it was just like Motoko all over again.

"Doesn't mean I don't suspect you of something else." She said as she walked away.

Gosh! Was every woman in this place going to give him such a hard time?! Seriously it was like he was in an old spy movie getting interrogated by the KGB! The only ones who seemed tolerable so far were Shinobu and Su. Well, there was Keitaro, but he was a fellow man who seemed to be going through the same thing, so he couldn't really complain. Was this some kind of initiation or something? Was this dorm actually a frat house or something? He didn't know, but it was weird as shit.

AN HOUR OR SO LATER

Sean made his way downstairs, after agonizing over the Japanese language book for two 25 minute sessions, with a ten minute break in between. He was ready for dinner. He wasn't too sure what was for dinner, but honestly he could care less, he was hungry as hell, the last thing he got to eat was a pre packaged flight meal, and he never did get that snack from Shinobu since Keitaro dragged him off. So needless to say he had worked up an appetite.

And when he walked into the dining room he was...shocked. There was food, well more like a feast, apparently Shinobu had really outdone herself for this. He could hardly believe it, sure he didn't recognize some of it, but the smell was intoxicating.

"Ah! Sean, come sit down. Trust me, you're going to want some of this." Keitaro said as he took his seat.

"I'm not complaining about all the food, but why so much?" He asked as Shinobu came out.

"Oh well, we have a new tenant, sure it was a little weird, but I see no reason why we shouldn't give you a warm welcome." She said with a smile.

"Yeah, but even then, thats a lot of food." He said as suddenly he saw a blur tackle the large pile of food.

"That's because Kaolla eats like a hippo...we have to make a ton so we can all get a fair share." She said as Sean was just wide eyed.

"I can see that...wow...how the hell is her stomach not bulging out by eating that much?" He said as he suddenly felt a whack on the head.

"You shouldn't insult a ladies weight like that!" Naru said as she walked by.

"Excuse me, but you can't say that you have not thought the same thing at least once!" He said as she glared.

"Be that as it may, I never said it out loud, you should be mindful of what you say!" She said as Sean kind of let his anger get to him.

"Like being mindful of calling someone a pervert before you even know them?" He said as they could have sworn they felt the temperature drop.

"Oh shit." Keitaro thought as he was getting out of the line of fire.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?!" Naru said as she geared up a punch.

"Damn, I really got to learn to shut up." He said as he figured that this would not end well.

However, another hand caught her fist before it could do any damage.

"Naru, I think we shouldn't do this now...while I understand your anger, we are eating dinner." Motoko said as Naru just continued to glare at Sean.

"Hmph." She said as she sat down and began to quietly eat her food.

"And I thought I told you to watch your step." Motoko warned as Sean sighed.

"Despite the fact I spoke the truth?" He said as he saw her fist clench, but she let it go and sat down.

"Sean...seriously, KEEP YOUR DAMN MOUTH SHUT! WHEN YOU'RE IN A HOLE, STOP DIGGING!" He had heard his Grandpa say that so many times whenever he managed to say something that pissed someone off.

His Grandpa had learned from years of experience that sometimes you just can't win a fight, especially if that person was Sean's Grandmother...damn that old lady could probably take on any politician in a debate and slowly humiliate them over and over again until they lost the will to live. Finally Sean decided to not let his mouth run on, and decided to finally eat his dinner.

One bite, and his eyes widened. And everyone was looking at him.

"Uh...are you okay?" Keitaro asked as he just spaced out.

"This is...good...really good." He said as he took another bite.

"Damn, what did you put in this? Seriously I love it!" He said as he was starting to understand why Kaolla ate so much.

"Just simple ingredients thrown together." Shinobu said as she wasn't used to the compliments coming from strangers.

"And Shakespeare is just random words on a page." He thought to himself as he let himself be immersed in the taste and smell.

Nothing eventful really happened after that, everyone was quiet, with the exception of Naru occasionally grumbling under her breath, Motoko making sure Sean wasn't trying anything. And of course the ravenous chewing of Kaolla that you swear to god sounded like a garbage disposal at times. It was actually kind of scary.

"So...Sean, what can you tell us about yourself?" Keitaro asked trying to defuse the situation.

Surprisingly it kind of worked, only because Kaolla wanted to know her new playmate, Shinobu was slightly curious, Kitsune was wondering what his weaknesses were, and Naru and Motoko were trying to gather information on their enemy.

"What do you want to know?" He asked as Keitaro shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, where are you from? Hobbies? Stuff like that."

Sean put his bowl down and fork down, he had to admit he was pretty thankful that they had forks, when he tried using chopsticks once at a chinese restaurant, he ended up accidentally throwing a dumpling at his dates face...needless to say he never got a second date.

"Well, I'm from a small town in Texas, grew up working on a ranch with my Grandparents, eventually got into college, started taking up multiple hobbies including Fencing, Hema, Boxing, Judo, as well as going to class full time and helping my Grandpa with his business." He said as Shinobu got curious.

"I thought his business was ranching?" She asked as Sean nodded.

"Well yeah, there was that, but he also ran a part time auto shop, although it was more of a hobby than anything else, all I know is that by the time I was about five, I was helping him restore old cars, I went to school smelling like Motor oil a lot." He said with a chuckle.

"But you know, it was great, When I got my driver's license, we bought an old wreck of a 68 Dodge Charger and restored it, and that became my first car...well actually not, I didn't trust myself driving it at the time, so I bought an old junker...I mean it was practically a work of art, and I couldn't live with myself if I ended up wrecking it in a month." He said as that was one thing he did miss about his home besides his grandparents.

It was almost a sin that he still hadn't driven that car. He was finally gaining the courage to start driving it, until he got the opportunity to come here, needless to say, he did miss that car.

"What did you raise on the ranch?" Shinobu asked once again.

"Mostly cattle, but we did have a few horses. Course Those were our neighbors that we just let on our land." He said as Kaolla raised her hand.

"Why haven't you tried the squid yet?" She asked as Sean actually looked uncomfortable at that question.

"Uh...this is embarassing, but I have a fear of squids." He said as everyone just got a "Are you serious?" look on their face.

"HEY! Its not my fault, when I was a kid I watched a lot of sea monster movies, and they always had a scene where either a diver was strangled to death by a tentacle, ripped apart limb from limb, or eaten slowly piece by piece by a squid. I had nightmares every night after watching those movies!" He said trying to defend himself.

Course everyone thought it was kind of lame, a squid couldn't really eat a human could they?

"One last question, you mentioned your grandparents a lot...but what about your parents." She asked as Sean got a strange look in his eyes.

"Uh...hey can I go back to eating now, Kaolla's still eating a large portion of the share." He said as suddenly everyone saw Su really did try to steal everyone's food.

"HEY! SU SHARE!" Motoko said as she tried to take some back from the energetic girl.

"NEVER!" She stated as she ran off.
