Okay, I'm back with another chapter, finally got some free time.
Also Noodles one more thing I forgot to mention, when you told me not to constantly have the spotlight on my OC, did you mean that I shouldn't write mostly from his perspective or I shouldn't have him be this miracle worker? I was a little confused on that.
Also The poll is still up, I haven't gotten a lot of votes yet, so please go to my profile and vote for who you want Keitaro to be paired with.
THE NEXT MORNING
"WAAAKKKEEE UPPPP!" A powerful voice screamed out as Sean bolted awake.
"AH! HOLY SHIT!" He yelled as he saw Su with a megaphone.
"GOOD MORNING SEAN!" She said as he stuck a finger in his ear.
"WHY WOULD YOU WAKE ME UP LIKE THAT?!" He was angry, but she just giggled it away.
"Keitaro sent me to wake you up! But you wouldn't wake up! I even tried poking you with a stick!" She said holding up a tree branch.
Well...what kind of madhouse did he walk into? First he gets attacked by crazy sword lady, then pisses off an emotionally unstable woman, as well as having to avoid the drunk lady, and had to sleep in a room that he hadn't properly renovated yet. This was just getting weirder and weirder by the minute. What was next? Flying turtles? And then it happened, he saw Keitaro being chased by a...mechanical flying turtle?
"Uh...Su...am I still sleeping?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes.
"Nope! You're awake silly! Why?" She said as the grin never left her face.
"Because I just saw a flying turtle that looked like it was a HK from terminator...seriously what is going on?" He said as he was actually kind of creeped out.
"Oh my turtle bots? I built those! Cool huh?" She said as Sean shook his head.
"Uh no...not really, I mean its cool that you built them...but why would you build killer robots?" He said as he really didn't trust machines that he couldn't control.
"Because they're fun...why do you look so pale?" She asked as Sean put a shirt on.
"Su...did you ever watch The Terminator or the Matrix? Or any movie about machines taking over?" He asked as she shook her head.
"Nope! Dad didn't want me watching them because he thought they would scare me." She said as Sean put a hand on her shoulder.
"In that case, I'm going to go find a copy to rent, because while you're young, considering what I just saw, its imperative you watch them. And yes, they are meant to scare you." He said as he walked out of the room.
While he would admit technology was a wonderful thing, he didn't fancy the idea of having machines being turned into self thinking killing machines, and he wasn't into any machine that was smarter than him. Especially because you never know when they might turn on you and wipe out all of humanity. Or the next thing you know they pull a Hal 9000 on you, the thought of machines trying to kill him freaked him out.
Why couldn't things just be simple? Technology was a wonderful thing, but he did believe there was a certain threshold they shouldn't cross. Yes, space travel sounds cool, just don't have any AI on board, let humanity do most of the work, it would make the achievement so much sweeter.
Anyways, he was getting off topic. He saw Motoko going up to the roof dressed in a traditional kimono and of course giving him a glare that honestly just pissed him off. He literally just woke up, and already she was glaring at him? What the hell was her problem? Why did she seem to dislike men so much? Was she one of those crazy feminazi's that believed all men should die? He sincerely hoped not.
"Morning Sean!" Shinobu said as she was walking by with a thing of laundry.
"Morning Shinobu, how did you sleep?" He asked as she smiled.
"Just fine, a little weird though, I had a dream you were trying to kill a squid." She said as he facepalmed.
"Great, this always happens whenever I tell people about that." He said as he saw Motoko staring at them with a glare.
"If it makes you feel any better, Motoko is scared of turtles!" She said as Motoko fell to the ground in embarassment.
"You know what, that does make me feel better!" He said as he gave an evil chesire grin to Motoko who proceeded to glare back at him.
"And you gave me crap for being scared of squids! And you're scared of turtles! Who ever got eaten by a turtle!" He said as he dodged a shoe that was thrown at him.
"SHUT UP!" She yelled as she ran back up to the roof.
"Uhm, Senpai, shouldn't you be nicer to her? After all, you are still a guest here, and you did say you were going to try and get along with everyone." Shinobu reminded him.
"I know, wait what does Senpai mean?" He asked as she sighed.
"It basically means someone who is your senior when it comes to academia. A mentor if you would say." She said (Hey, I didn't know, I may like Anime, but I don't know all the words.)
"I don't know Kid, pretty sure I haven't mentored anyone here, how about you leave that title to Keitaro until I actually earn that one." He said as she looked a little sad at that.
"O-Okay..." She said as she walked away and Sean felt like an ass.
"Seriously? What did I say wrong? Great now I feel like I just kicked a puppy." He said as he heard a sultry voice.
"Oh? Want me to make it better?" She asked as the stench of alcohol invaded his nostrils.
Only for him to dodge out of the way of a drunken Kitsune.
"Please...DON'T...DO...THAT." Sean said with anger as he could smell the sake on her.
"Oh, I'm just trying to have some fu-" She said as he took a step back.
"I said don't do that." He said as she actually saw him glaring at her.
Sean did not like alcohol, he didn't like it ONE BIT. So whenever he smelled someone who was ripe with the smell, he could get a little angry and defensive.
"Oh come on Cowboy, don't you wanna have a ride?" She asked as he walked away.
"I already told you, I'm not interested." He said as got away before she tried to do something.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO KITSUNE?!" He heard Naru's voice yell.
"Oh for shits sake." He said as he saw Naru.
"Morning Naru." He said as it was only six o clock, and already he was irritated.
"Don't you morning Naru me! What did you do?" She said while pointing a finger at him.
"I just told her to go away, I don't like the smell of alcohol, so I told her to leave me alone, look its morning, I got woken up by killer robots, and I haven't even had my morning coffee, can you just yell and scream at me later?" He said as she growled and walked past him, making sure to bump her shoulder into his.
"Good Lord Jesus Christ, what did I get myself into?" He said as he walked downstairs to the kitchen.
"Morning Sean!" Keitaro said as he was getting something out of the fridge.
"Morning Kei-HOLY SHIT! What happened to your eye?!" He said as he saw it was now swollen shut.
"Oh, accidentally walked in on Naru changing again." He said as Sean blanked out at that.
"Again? You mean this has happened before?" He said as Keitaro nodded.
"I am not a clever man." He said as he put an ice pack on his eye.
"Dude, maybe you should knock first." He said as Keitaro nodded.
"I do. But sometimes she gets me confused with some of the girls." He said as Sean walked over to the coffee pot.
"Dang, I've been here for one day, and already its weird. I kind of feel bad though, I feel like I was a dick to Shinobu, it felt like kicking a puppy." He said as Keitaro patted him on the back.
"Oh don't worry, Shinobu is a little sensitive, but don't worry, she bounces right back, she's tough that way, yeah sounds like you were getting screamed at by Naru." He said as Sean looked at him.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but how do you stand her? She doesn't seem to like...you know, men." He said as Keitaro chuckled.
"Oh don't worry, she's a nice person overall, she's just a little...I actually don't have a weird for it, but trust me, she gets better." He said as Sean took another sip of his coffee.
"Okay, well it has been only one day, who knows, maybe we'll become friends." He said as Keitaro cringed.
"Well...I wouldn't go that far." He said as Sean face palmed.
"Dude, seriously, make up your mind, anyways, so what do we do today?" He asked as Keitaro pulled out a LONG list of chores.
"Well, we have to wax the floors, clean the springs, fix the plumbing, fix the hole in the wall, pick up squid from the store-" He said as he was cut off there.
"I'm not getting the squid." Sean said as Keitaro nodded.
"No problem, I figured as much, and then we got to clean out the basement, assemble a few new bookshelves, and finally get ready for school, or in yours and my case, Cram school and the such." Keitaro said as Sean whistled.
"Dang, seems like a lot to do, but I think with the seven of us, we should-" He was cut off by Keitaro.
"Two of us, since I'm the manager and you're the only other male tenant here." He said as Sean blanked.
"So...we get stuck doing all the work because of our gender? Eh, what the hell, I mean it sounds bad, but considering my first job was shoveling horse shit, this shouldn't be too bad." He said as he rolled up his sleeves.
"So what first chief?"
