Chapter 8: Secret Relationship, secret out

Three days had passed in the Hinata House—all sorts of new things were happening.

Ian was with his pet turtle Tama in her own room. The room was bright; three lightbulbs were shinnying above, no furniture, a radio on the floor, and a small bowl in the center with water in it. Ian had Tama in the bowl-Ian used a brush to rub her body.

" There there, my little Turtle Princess," Ian lingual buoyantly. " Rina is actually a nice girl. She can just be a bit of a bitch at times, but she really loves animals."

" Wahhh!" Tama laughed.

Ian finished scrubbing Tama. Tama was vivacious. She raised one of her flippers up, smiling, her cheeks were brightly pink. Ian giggled watching his turtle. Watching Tama reminded Ian of his younger days.

Flashback:

Young Ian was jumping on his bed. Ian laughed, jumping on the bed, and stretching his arms out.

" Ian," The voice of Ian's mother called. " Time for bed."

Ian stopped jumping on his bed. The door to his room opened, and Ian's mother walked in. Ian had already covered himself under his blankets, still laughing, and had his head rub by his mother as she was standing besides him.

" Mommy, I love you!"

Flashback End

Ian reminisced, " I love you two, Ian"

Ian then kissed Tama's head ( don't do it on ordinary turtles, they secrete bacteria on their scales/skin and can cause you to get salmonella), walked out the door, but not before setting the radio to music.

" Sleep tight, my darling turtle princess!"

Ian was carrying a large textbook to Rina's room. Ian was smiling, walking slowly towards Rina's room.

" What should I teach Rina today? Maybe a little Math? Or maybe Science? No, wait, I'll figure out her worse subject and help her with that one."

Ian reached the door to Rina's room. He turned the knob around and opened the door; a cloud of pepper was blown in his face. Ian soon heard the menacing laughter of Rina in her bed.

" Damn Rina!" Ian thought. " This is the third prank she's pulled on me this week!"

Flashback:

Ian was looking at the paper with directions to Rina's room:

Room 42

Ian finally reached the door, stood in a straight posture, then knocked three times on the door.

" Come in," An ominous female voice said on the other end.

Ian opened the door to the door—he was focused on his study session. However, when Ian walked in the door, he was embraced with someone hugging him. Ian saw it too be Foxy as she was wearing the same two-cut sky blue bra, along her H-cup bosoms, as Ian felt his head getting woozy and blood gushing out his nose. "FOXY!?"

Foxy squeezed Ian even harder. Ian's anxiety elevated. " You're in my control, human vibrator. And I'm going to use you all-night-lo—" " AHHHHH!"

Ian escaped Foxy's clutches and ran out the door. Foxy was left squeezing the air in front of him.

" Damn Ian," Foxy thought outloud. " What is his problem?"

Ian found Rina's room. Ian knocked on the door three times. " What?" Rina's voice was heard on the other end. " Rina, it's me, Ian. I'm here for our study session." " Ian. Oh, come on in." Ian opened the door to Rina's room, walked inside, something fell on top of him and pinned him to the ground. Ian felt the object grinding on his back." Take that, you pervert!"

Ian and Rina were scheduled to study outside. Ian had a textbook in his hands, a broad smile, and was skipping merrily to the doors to the backyard. " Alright, time for a hard core study session! I am going to get Rina an A, and finally get some respect in this house!"Ian opened the door to the backyard—he was actually in a wild animal den—all of Rina's pets were outside: the wolves, monkey's, and the snow leopards; not Toru. "AHHHH!" Ian screamed, the animals charged up to him. However, the animals instead stopped around Ian and showed their affections: Wolves-licking, monkey's-plucking hair, snow leopards- leaning against. Ian was crushed by the sheer number and strength of the animals.

Flashback End

Ian walked into Rina's room despite his eyes dripping from the pepper. He could hear the low maniacal laugh of Rina on the right.

" Well, I see you've had your fun," Ian joked, his eyes twitched with the pepper. " Now, let's get down to our studies."

Ian walked up to the only desk in Rina's room and set himself down. He could hear Rina making fake snoring noises on her bed. " Who the hell does she think she is? Man, I wish Daisuke was here to help me. But he's with Kimza at some meeting. I wonder what they're doing there?"

Daisuke was surrounded by old men with white hair, beards, and even bald spots. Daisuke was standing on the right of a small black netbook. Kimza was on the left of a figure with a green curtain over it.

" Hello, gentlemen," Daisuke greeted, bowed his head. " My name is Daisuke."

" Cut the chit-chat, shrimpo," One of the old men interrupted. " You told us you have some extraordinary weapon. Well, where's the weapon?"

Daisuke shaked his head. Daisuke took out his small black notebook and a quill. Daisuke wrote notes down, all the men in the audience stared dumbfoundly, as Kimza stared creepily at the men.

Daisuke soon finished writing in his notebook. He showed an intimidating face, made everyone watching him shiver, as Kimza was the only one calm.

Daisuke reached in his pocket and pulled out an Iron Man figurine. " Imagine this: cybernetic warrior, created using biotechnology, capable of firing optical beams as well well-equipped with heavy weaponry." " Yeah, I've seen the shows my grandchildren watch, slick. One of the white-haired men retorted. " Does this have anything to do with your hunch?"

Daisuke reached into his other pocket and pulled out a small turtle shell figurine. " Imagine this: A shell composed of bone plates covered by scutes which is nearly indestructable ." " First you bore us with your doll, and now you yammer about turtle shells?" Another one of the white-haired men retorted.

Daisuke placed the shell of the turtle on his Iron Man figurine. Silence was heard in the area. " Now, image what these two would be like combined, if they were so combined. Gentlemen, I give you the Turton-2500."

Kimza pulled the blanket off the hidden figure. Its metal sparkled; the light was shining on it, it was a humanoid metal suit with a turtle shell on the back. " What the hell is that?"

Daisuke walked over to the machine, pressed on a purple core in the torso of the machine, loud buzzing noises blurred. " The future. Gentlemen, I give you one of the most advanced piece of machinary that has ever been created. It will leave you breathless."

" Its leaving me with a breathful," One of the white haired joked, loud enough for Daisuke to hear.

Kimza was about to reach into her shirt and take out her Colt pistols, however, Daisuke gripped her right arm before she could fire. " Now's not the time, dear Kimza." Daisuke said, his right arm gripped Kimza's right arm, while his left arm stuck down her shirt.

" Holy smoke's!" One of the white-haired men said. " I've never seen a man willingly * touch * a young girl; 'specially not in front of other men."

Daisuke pulled one of Kimza's colt guns out of her shirt. Daisuke aimed his gun at the machine, kissing Kimza's right cheek, pulled the trigger. A bullet was shot out and hit the machine , but bounced off. " Virtually inpenetrable," Kimza said calmly, she wasn'tflimsy by Daisuke kissing her.

All men observing the pair talked amongst each other. Meanwhile, Daisuke took his lips away from Kimza's cheeks and then rubbed her hair. Daisuke—man known for his intelligent motives-he smiled.

All the white-haired men stopped talking to each other. " Mr. Urishima, our government has obtained many heavily armored machines. We can't just buy everything we come across."

Daisuke's smile turned into a unpleasant frown. Daisuke then proceeded to taking a small device out. It was made of black metallic substance, had a small red button in the center, and an antenna sticking out. Daisuke pressed the button of the machine; clanking noises were heard; the machine was moving.

Daisuke put the device back into his pockets. Daisuke proceeded where he moved his arms behind his back. " Yes, but how many of your machines are remote-controlled?"

The turtle-like machine came to life, buzzing noises throught its circuits, it dashed towards Daisuke and grabbed him by his shirt collar. Daisuke remained nonchalant by the machines strength.

" What the HELL is this!?" One of the white-haired men shouted, everyone else longing to get up and away. " Ryu, call security!"

" There's no need for that, gentlemen," Daisuke said, everyone stopped moving. " This isn't any mechanical weapon you've all harbored over the years." Clicking noises were heard; the machines eyes blinked bright blue. " In his CPU's a built in NPIA (Police National Computer). Right now he's searching through my credentials, skimmaging over my history, and seeing my life."

The machine loosened his grip on Daisuke. The turtle apolegetically shaked Daisuke's hands instead, confusing every white-haired man in the room yet Kimza remained silent. " As you can see, I am not of any violence. And-" Daisuke took a picture of Ichiro out. Daisuke threw the picture away, the robot searched Ichiro's credentials and found it , the picture exploded. " He shows no restraint to the vile."

Kimza noticed small drops of sweat dripping down Daisuk's head. Kimza walked up to Daisuke and used a small napkin to wipe away his sweat. All men were scared by the intensity yet calmness of Daisuke. " H-how...what is it you want?" One of the white-haired men stuttered.

" I want to become a god of this vulgar world!"

Ian skidded through the pages of his textbook. Rina was snoring soundly behind him.

Ian reached a page, circled a sentence with the blue ink of his blue marker, sighed. " Okay, let's talk about History. Who was the first emperor of the united China"

" Acchhhhhh!" Rina snored.

" RINA!"

Rina made a short snorting nose when waking up from her sleep. " Ach, what time is it?"

" WERE YOU ASLEEP THIS WHOLE TIME?!"

Rina noticed the annoying noise, looked to her left, saw Ian sitting at her desk and became angry. " What are you doing in my room, you pervert? GET OUT!" " I ain't going anywhere, Rina. You invited me to teach you, and that's just what I'll do."

Rina scratched the hair on her forehead, " You were teaching me? When did I establish that?" " LIKE 50 MINUTES AGO! God, you and your ignorance. I'm going to get something to drink. What would you like?" " Coke." " Tch, okay."

Ian was raiding the house's refrigerator. He was looking for his bottle of water and Rina's can of coke, however, couldn't find them anywhere. Ian was nervous.

Ian slammed the door to the refrigerator shut, " Dammit! Isn't there any cans of coke left? Dammit, Ichiro. If you are responsible for this, I swear to god, I will kick you a-" " Ian?" The voice of Foxy said. " Ian, is it really you?"

Ian noticed Foxy in the entrance of the kitchen, and how she was wearing sexy clothing. She was wearing a sexy pair of lingerie, her bellybutton and smooth legs showed off, she was wearing a pink sports bra and pink panties, and her hair was in a ponytail from a scrunchie she used. Ian was soon bleeding from his nose looking at Foxy.

Ian put his arms over his nose. " Ah, F-Foxy. W-why a-are you we-wearing that?"

Ian noticed Foxy was carrying a small black laptop in her right then noticed how Foxy wsa smiling as he watched her. " What, this? I always wear this when writing a short story. It always inspires me when my arms touch the keyboard.

Ian stopped bleeding through his nose. Ian felt safe to take his hand off his nose and rub it against his shirt. " Ah, okay. S-so, what type of stories do you write?"

Foxy set her laptop on the kitchen table. Foxy picked up a small book closeby and threw it at Ian who luckily caught it. Ian stared, recovered from catching, saw the title of the book: Mimi&Geko the Adventurers

" Wow! I remember reading this book when I was five. Back then it was highly beloved. Did you get this?" Foxy nodded. " Wow, you've got good taste. Do you have all of Yasu Takeshi's works?" Foxy nodded again. " I didn't know you were a fan of hers?

Foxy laughed under her breath, " I'm not. I am Yasu."

" What? That's impossible. I've read the bios of Yasu's works. And she didn't start until—wait, how old are you?" " Eighteen." " Yeah, her first work was made twenty years ago."

" Really? Ask me anything about her you've read in her biography. I bet you 1000 yen I can get it all right." Ian smiled, " You're on. Okay, what was her first book?"

Foxy scrunched her face, her nose twitched, then she smiled, " Obviously, Yu and Leo, the warrior princess and her magical dog." " Okay, what genre was it." " Adventure, with a little pinch of smut."

Ian rubbed his chin, he was thinking of his next question, then stopped pondering, said, " Yasu has been know to have the strangest type of appetite. Tell me, in her review, what was her favorite food?" " Frozen Yogurt, melted, served with a calf's foot, and mixed with bread crumbs. Combines sugar and protein, with the bread relieving the depression."

Ian's mouth agape. Ian closed his mouth. Ian rubbed his chin again, humming to himself, than snapped his fingers. " I've got it! Here's something only the real Yasu could do! In her interview, Kaato made her kiss his lips, and he commented later on weekly magazine about it being cherry-flavoured." Ian smiled, pushed his lips out, made smooching noises, " So, lay it on me, Foxy."

Foxy didn't hesitate to react. She grabbed Ian behind his head, pulled him forward, and put his lips to hers. Ian was startled, wasn't expecting Foxy to cope, as her lips tasted like cherry's. Ian pushed Foxy away. His face was red, he was gasping, small drops of saliva spilled from his mouth. " Holy SHIT! You really are Yasu. But, what about your twenty year old story?!"

Foxy ignored Ian, grabbed her laptop, and talked while talking, " Tasteless." " Huh?" " Your kiss was tasteless. Thanks for the help, Ian. Thanks for helping me find out what a kiss tastes like."

Foxy walked towards the door, but stopped, laughing, " I was able to publish my first story before I was born. I kept telling my mother words, and she would write them down. Oh, and it's my birthday in a couple of days. Well, see ya."

Ian was confused. His heart was racing, Ian grabbed his chest, and panted from the adrenaline. Ian smiled. " I can't believe it. A girl actually kissed me. Oh, I am so screwed."

" IAN!" Rina shouted above. " WHERE'S MY COKE!?"

I'm going to the convenience store to get your coke, Rina! Make sure to keep studying! Even though you won't."

Ian walked out the sliding doors of a convenience store. Ian had a gray plastic bag in one hand. Ian held the bag and started walking back to the Hinata House.

" Boy, I always feel so lazy on the weekends. I don't have school, don't have to work for Mr. Fisher, and can do whatever I want." Ian sighed. " The weekends seem more of a hassle than a paradise. I have to deal with tutoring Rina, listen to Ichiro's lecharious pick up lines, and chores." Ian smiled flamboyantly, his eyes bulged up, and he was laughing. " At least there's Aimi. Sure, here taste of movies is a little lame."

Flashback:

Ian and Aimi were looking at the showtimes of each movie. Luckily, each one started between 7-8.

Ian and Aimi kept their distance from each other—literately 10 and Aimi were both shy of each other.

" I-I-I... I think we should watch 'Blossom's Bloom'," Ian suggested, there was tension in his voice.

Blossom's Bloom: A tragic love story between two orphans; a male and a female. The story talks about how the two survive during world war 2 and eventually confess their love for each other. 4.5 stars out of 5. Critics suggestion: A heart warming well organized movie that touches the heart of all who watch it.

" Actually, I-I-I...I think we should watch 'Gangster Musuko'," Aimi suggested.

Ganger Musuko: The story follows a comedy of the greatest ganger and his run of the nail stoner son. The gangster passes his empire over to his son, and follows all the mischief that goes on. Critics suggestion: Piece-of-shit-movie.

" Ah, okay."

Ian was frigthened. Aimi's eyes were glued on the screen, a scence where a gangster in a limosine was firing small bullets at a police car, as Aimi was excited-she squeezed the chair in front of her.

" C'mon, Ryo!" Aimi yelled to the screen. " You can do it!"

The main character stuck out the top of the limosine. He took his gun out, focused it on the limosine, then fired at it as the limosine exploded on contact.

Aimi raised her arms up with zeal and fell back into her chair. Ian at the time was staring at Aimi and was scared.

" Boy, I really know how to pick them."

Ian was walking Aimi back to her house.

Aimi was skipping merrily while Ian was walking slowly behind her. " Heh heh heh!" Aimi laughed. " Ian, come skip with me!"

" She really wants me to skip with her?" Ian thought. " Maybe that stupid movie's gone to her brain. There was a little cutsie crap. Okay, I'll play it cool and act like I'm not nervous. Maybe, I'll put my hands in my pockets and walk casually? Yeah."

Ian was fast on his feet, skipped merrily towards Aimi's side, and was grabbed by his right arm; he was shaking.

" Don't you just love action movies, Ian?" Aimi laughed. " Their not very complicated, but you can really get into them." " Yeah, I just watched a gangster movie with an eccentric androphobic girl?" Ian thought outloud. " Perhaps I'll form my own gang, and make you my personal hoe?"

Aimi didn't seem to be listening to Ian; Aimi was laughing too hard. Ian found it cute, the girl he liked was laughing, and he was holding her arm.

Aimi stopped laughing, turned to Ian, smiled, " So, when shall our next date be?"

Flashback End:

" I decided to have some time to think about it. Normally, the third date is said to involve sex. But I just can't imagine defiling dear sweet Aimi. Maybe I'll just make her watch a documentary on polar bears going extinct? But who would want to be with someone after they're forced to watch something so sad?"

" Ian!" The voice of Kana called. " There you are, you stupid friend."

Kana jumped out behind Ian and put him in a headlock. Kana nuggied Ian as his head was locked. Ian soon pushed Kana away and tried to breath air into his mouth.

" W-what the h-hell is wrong with you?" Ian yelled, his voice was shrill from him gasping in air.

" What, I can't play around with you anymore? Y'know, you used to be a lot more fun before your father made you a landlord." " Yeah, well over time all... wait a minute. How do you know I am a landlord?" " Goro told me? Your father told his fourty something year old girlfriend, and she told Goro, and he told me." " Remind me to * kill * my father the next time I meet him."

Kana and Ian then heard small laughter in the distance. Ian found out what the noise was, he turned his head around, and saw Aimi and another person walking towards them. The other person

Long dark brown hair with bright green stripes that are held up and covered with a black pin, Starts off with only a raggity black shirt and skin tight black pants

Ian speed up to Aimi, Kana could hardly see him, as he made it to Aimi and held his arms out. " Aimi, hi."

" EEKKKKKKKKK- oh, it's just you, Ian." Aimi said nonchantly, her cheeks were red. Aimi smiled, Fancy meeting you here."

" I know. I was just on my way home, when would you believe it, you show up. And I see you're with another man."

Aimi and Kana both shiver. Ian didn't know the person, but was going to find out the hard way. Ian put his right hand on the figures right shoulderpad. " Hey there, dude. I must say, I didn't think Aimi could be around men." " Ah, Ia-" " People might mistake you for a women." " Ia-" " Do you have lots of estrogen, or were you born with lady boobs?" " Ia-"

The head of Aimi's friend head boiled. Aimi's friend grabbed Ian's right hand and made him forcibally grab the clevage of the figures chest. " Boy!? A female voice yelled. You think I'm a boy? Well, tell me, do boy's have boobs like these?"

Both Aimi and Kana were blushing red. Aimi's friend was deluted by her pride, soon felt the grip of Ian's hands, and how his hand was on her breasts, screamed, " PERVERT!"

Aimi's friend punched Ian. Aimi's friend proved to be strong, Ian was launched, and was soaring in the air. Aimi's friend growled. Aimi's friend than noticed Kana standing. " KANA!" Aimi's friend luaghed joyiously.

Aimi's friend ran up to Kana and gave him a big hug. Kana was blushing, he felt the girl's boobs press up against him, his cheeks burned red.

" Sanae, it's so good to see you again," Kana said, he was still Sanae pressing up against him. " Could you pleeeeeasssse let go. It's embarrassing having my...you know, hugging me in public."

" I'm not letting go," SAnae said, nudging her nose deeper into Sanae chest. " I really like you, Kana. I want you to know that all-day-long."

Sanae soon felt someone tapping on her right shoulder. " Ah, Sanae, did you have to be so rough?' Aimi said. " Ian was a little goofy, but is very kind."

Meanwhile, Ian was running back to Kana-Sanae didn't hit him very hard—he needed to get his bags back.

" I'm sure they're around here somewhere," Ian said. " Just gotta…"

Ian stopped running. There was Aimi, and Kana, and the girl Ian thought to be a boy kissing Kana on his lips.

Ian was sitting in Chazona's room. Cogitating with her eyes closed, in a mediation position, chanting too herself.

" Chazona," Ian said. " I really wanted to talk to you."

Chazona's left eyebrow elevated, " Talk to me how, Ian?" " Well, I feel really close to you. Rina hates me. Yue kinda hates me. Aku(Foxy) has been too busy for me. Daisuke and Kimza are too busy for me. All I've got is you."

Chazona smiled, " What about Ichiro and Kaeda?" " Well, I don't feel comfortable thinking about Kaeda and all that will happen. And Ichiro, well, he's y'know, disgusting." " I suppose he is. Are you here to hear your future?"

Ian laughed. Ian's laugher confused Chazona, however, she laughed as well, " What's so funny?" " Oh, just that silly question!" Ian piqued down, smiled, " I don't want to think about the future. As you already know, and I quote, we know what we are, but not what we might be."

Chazona laughed, " That's from William Shakespeare. Y'know, he was really good with poems and exploring through his characters minds. He actually made huge success of a story that was feeble, tragic."

" And what story is that?"

" Romeo and Juliet of course. I mean, who ever heard of tragedy in a love story?"

Ian clapped his hands on Chazona's. She blushed, was surprised, yet enjoyed the warm feeling in Ian's hands. " You mentioned a day I would meet my true love? Well, I've been thinking about it, and I'm completely befaudled. Could it be... the day I find my true love... someone will die?"

Chazona opened her eyes much to Ian's surprise. Her blue eyes twinkled in the light, she had a look of sorrow in her face, as she looked straight into Ian's eyes, " Someone will die. And it'll be someone in this house. But... I sense.. you may change the life of one resident for the best... or worse."

Days until Ian finds his true love: 84
