When we got back to the Hot Springs it was about four. The girls all decided that we were all going to take a bath together and within a half hour we were all being happy in the bath and signing whatever song we could think of.

"Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right, at you baby, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys try to chase me, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?"

We all laughed, sang, and splashed each other. The song was annoying, but it wasn't the worst. We all stumbled into dinner laughing, and every guy seemed to be slightly afraid, along with some of the teachers. The entire meal was fun, for once. Callie and I were the first to leave in a fit of laughter. We sort of just collapsed on one another in the hall and stayed there laughing. That was, until this guy walked up and asked us what we were doing. He had white and black hair and was wearing some threatening looking clothes. It seemed slightly out of it, and like a small child, almost. I told him that we were laughing and he just stared blankly at me. After a few moments of silence he walked away, and Callie and I were left to wonder what had just happened. We decided to go sit at the edge of the gardens, and we just talked about the temple that we had seen today. Everything there was beautiful, and we both adored it because it was something strange and different. After a while Callie went back to the group, and I stayed there. I had changed into the kimono after the bath, but since I slipped my pajamas on underneath I slipped the kimono off and sat out on the porch in my pajamas with the kimono draped over my shoulders. I liked the only sounds I could hear be the waterfall. It was relaxing. I leaned my head against the pole that I was sitting next to. Everything about this place seemed, almost, threatening. It scared me. I must have been very lost in my thoughts because I didn't hear Mr. loud and annoying coming down the hall.

"Ah," he said announcing his presence, "If it isn't my new friend!" He put a hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him with an annoyed look on my face.

"I'm not your friend," I growled as I stood up, grabbing parts of my discarded kimono in my arms. "Why do you keep talking to me?"

"Because we have the same last name! You're family!"

I gave him a blank stare that seemed to ask if he really was an idiot before speaking, "I live in America, not Japan. I don't think that we're related. A name doesn't make us family you idiot."

"Callie," a familiar voice called me questioningly.

I attempted to put the kimono back on as quickly as I could, "Here, Mr. Kremer! I'm here!" He found his way to the porch and laughed at how badly I had put the kimono on. It was extremely lopsided, but it was on and I was appropriate. "I'm sorry, Mr. Kremer. I didn't mean to run off, I promise."

Mr. Kremer eyed the three men standing on the porch, "Its fine Hannah, but we're all in the rec room. We noticed that you were missing and we didn't want to have you forfeit the ping pong tournament."

I laughed, "I'll pry loose anyway. Thank you for coming to find me."

"And these men are…" he was once again looking at the group of three men standing on the porch dressed in what to me was strange clothing.

I just smiled; I had as much of an idea as he did. All I knew was that they were part of the Sohma family. "They're members of the Sohma family, sir. That's all I know, to be honest."

"I'm Ayame," the annoying what haired man said, extending his hand to my teacher. "I'm very interested in Hanah-san, here. You see I'm lead to believe that we are distant relatives and I would so much like to bring her back to the main house and check the records to see."

Everyone was quiet, except me, "No."

"Why not," the strange man asked.

"Because you're weird and I don't know you, sir."

One of the men intervened; he wasn't the one that I bumped into last night. This one had grayish hair that hid one of his eyes, and the other one was a bluish color. He seemed really calm and was wearing slacks, a button up shirt, and a vest. To me he was the most normal of the group, but he was still creepy. "I'm sorry. Ayame can be out spoken. We were sent here to oversee that your group has a comfortable stay here. We are members of the Sohma family, and we just wanted to be as hospitable as we could without actually disturbing your stay. I'm Sohma Hatori, Ayame met Hannah-san last night when she was sitting out here looking at the garden. When he heard her last name he was intrigued, and when he told the two of us we were curious as well, and we decided that if we were to run into Hannah-san again we would ask her about her family history and see if she really was a member of our family."

"Ayame got out of hand though," the other one said. He had black hair and wore a kimono as well, and had dark eyes. He seemed like the happy-go-lucky-type to me, but I didn't say anything. "We have no intention of taking Hannah-san out of your group unless we had her permission and yours as well."

Everyone was quiet, and suddenly Mr. Kremer grabbed my wrist, quickly and harshly said good bye to the men before going back to the rec room and telling me that I wasn't to go near those men. I agreed without much thought at all. They were strange, and they did frighten me. When we got to the rec room we found everyone waiting for me to play Callie in ping pong. The game was over within a few minutes and Callie had won, I was really bad at ping pong. Since I was out some of the popular kids asked me to play some music. I had brought my guitar with me and I had a good voice, so why not play for a little? Add some music to the atmosphere. I ran and got my guitar, passing the strange white and black haired boy as I ran to my room and back. There were some cushions laying on the floor so I happily sat down on those with my guitar in my arms and started to play Who I am by Jessica Andrews.

"If I live to be a hundred, And never see the seven wonders, That'll be alright, If I don't make it to the big leagues, If I never win a Grammy, I'm gonna be just fine, 'Cause I know exactly who I am. I am Rosemary's granddaughter, The spitting image of my father, And when the day is done, My momma's still my biggest fan, Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy, But I've got friends who love me, And they know just where I stand, It's all a part of me, And that's who I am. So when I make big mistake, When I fall flat on my face, I know I'll be alright, Should my tender heart be broken, I will cry those teardrops knowin', I will be just fine, 'Cause nothin' changes who I am. I am Rosemary's granddaughter, The spitting image of my father, And when the day is done, My momma's still my biggest fan, Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy, But I've got friends who love me, And they know just where I stand, It's all a part of me, And that's who I am. I'm a saint and I'm a sinner, I'm a loser, I'm a winner, I'm am steady and unstable, I am young but I'm able. I am Rosemary's granddaughter, The spitting image of my father, And when the day is done, My momma's still my biggest fan, Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy, But I've got friends who love me, And they know just where I stand, It's all a part of me, And that's who I am. I am Rosemary's granddaughter, The spitting image of my father, And when the day is done, My momma's still my biggest fan, Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy, But I've got friends who love me, And they know just where I stand, It's all a part of me, And that's who I am."

Everyone clapped and said that I should sing another song. I did as long as they told me to, I mean, what else did I have to do? The boy with black and white hair managed to find his way to the rec room, and he tentatively seemed to join in the group. I heard some of the guys tell him about me a little bit, he just nodded and I kept on doing what I did. When Callie and I finally made it to our room it was about ten o'clock at night. We laughed and fell asleep happily.

For the rest of the trip I really didn't see the strange three men, but I saw the white and black haired boy a lot. I didn't talk to him, he just seemed too weird. He introduced himself to me as Hatsuharu, but I never got a last name.

Why do you think that Hatsuharu should be there? Review or PM your answer!
