"Geez, what a time to run out of supplies" grumbled Keitaro. After welcoming Shuuri to the Inn, everyone partied like crazy, which simply blew Keitaro away. Even Napoleon, Rinrin's pig, joined in. After Touka, Sei, and Sui got wasted from Sei's Sake stash (which Keitaro decided to keep track of), and Rinrin and Shuuri simply getting tired, it was left to him to clean up. After bringing Napoleon back to his pigpen in the ranch (which Keitaro didn't notice at first, situated behind the Inn), next to the stables where Sui happened to keep a few horses in (Keitaro didn't realize at first Sui was into horses, missing the info from the tenant manifest), he realized they ran out of a few essensials, like rice and other ingredients for breakfast. And since it was late evening, with the older girls drunk and the youngsters tired, it fell to his shoulders to do the emergency grocery shopping.

On his way to the convinience store, he heard a few screams from an alley. "What the heck?" Before he knew it, three burly thugs came flying at him, plopping down on the ground in front of him. They steadily got up, a bit dazed. Then they saw him.

"Hmm, a bystander. Let's take him hostage!" said the smallest of the thugs.

"Hey! What do you mean..." began Keitaro.

"SHUT UP!" said the big burly thug, hoisting him up by the collar.

"HEY YOU!" yelled a woman's voice. From its direction, Aisha Kan'u emerged from the alley, her naginata ready.

"Ha! So you still wanna fight girl?" said the third thug. "You try something and he gets it!"

"Ugh! You have no sense of honor!" remaked Aisha, holding her ground.

"Honor, shmonor. That doesn't exist in our book!" said the smallest thug. "It's kill or be killed around here!"

"I better try something not so painful" murmured Aisha, readying her naginata. "HAAAAA!!!!" she yelled, unleashing a wave of ki, not leathal, but enough to send a big blast of air at the thugs.

"YAAAA!!!"

"WOAAA!!!"

"I'M FLYING!!!"

"YIKES!!!"

The thugs, along with Keitaro, were blown in several directions. Miraculously, Keitaro didn't move very far and landed on his bum only a few feet from his original position, unlike the thugs who were sent into the stratosphere.

"Owww!" moaned Keitaro. "Anyone got the number of that truck that hit me?"

"Are you alright?" asked Aisha with a concerned voice.

"Uh?" gasped Keitaro, looking up at Aisha, who was holding her hand out to him.

"Can you get up?"

"Uh, I thing so" said Keitaro, taking Aisha's hand as she helped him up. Unfortunately, his clumsiness kicked in, and he tripped. "YAGH!"

"KYAAA!!!"

After being dazed for a moment, Keitaro tried to get his bearings, but his vision was blocked. When he tried to feel what was covering his face, he felt something very soft and warm. "Umff. Whart ith tish?" he said, his voice muffled.

"Ugh!" moaned Aisha, who found herself lying down with her chest being weighed down. "Eh?" piped Aisha, who felt her chest being groped. She looked up, and saw Keitaro with his face between her breasts, which in turn were being groped by Keitaro's hands. "KYAAAA!!!!" she yelled, quickly pushing Keitaro off her.

"GWACK!" coughed Keitaro as he was suddenly ejected from Aisha's chest and tumbled backwards.

"P-Pervert!" yelled Aisha, covering herself. "What do you thing you're doing!?"

"Agh! I'm sorry!" said Keitaro in a panicked voice, as he scrambled backwards.

"Jeez!" said Aisha disgustedly, getting up. "I guess you're not hurt at all!"

"Ugh!" sighed Keitaro. "This is not my day!"

"Just get home before you run into some thugs again!" said Aisha, who then sulked off.

"Man, what is the world coming to?" wondered Keitaro out loud. Getting mugged was bad enough, but making a bad impression on a pretty girl (who actually helped him too), was the pits. "I guess I better continue getting those groceries before any more trouble happens."

-----------------

Keitaro woke up the next morning drenched in sweat. After buying the needed supplies he trudged back to Hinata Inn, put the supplies away, marched straight to his room and plopped into bed, promptly falling asleep, not bothering to change out of his clothes. Finding himself in this predicament, he immediately thought of a bath. So he took some fresh clothes, and went on his way to the small bath (so he wouldn't make the mistake of walking in on the girls in the main hot springs). He passed by the laundry room, and hearing a noise, curiosity got the better of him, and he went in. As he did, he found himself face to face with the girl he encountered last night.

Aisha was dressing up and preparing for the day when was startled by the sound of the door opening. As she looked to the entrance, she found herself face to face with Keitaro. Both were frozen in place, Aisha from surprise, and Keitaro from shock of seeing Aisha with only her panties on and in the process of putting on her bra. After a long and tension filled five seconds, Aisha finally got her composure back, looked at herself, and back at Keitaro. Finally finding her voice, she stuttered, and screamed.

"KYAAA!!!"

Aisha's scream jolted Keitaro out of his reverie, and he was able to gain control of himself, sort of. "ACK! I'm sorry!"

"KYAAA!!!" Aisha screamed again. "What the heck are you doing here!? GET OUT YOU PERVERT!!!"

"AH... uh... right!" stuttered Keitaro, getting back outside to the corridor as fast as he can. While he did, he ran into Shuuri.

"Keitaro-sempai, what's going on?" asked Shuuri.

"Agh! Well... I... uhh..." muttered Keitaro in his stupor. Before he could say anything else, Aisha ran into the scene, in a hastily put-on sleeveless gi and short hakama. "Hey girl!" barked Aisha. "That pervert hasn't done anything to you has he?" she asked, in an almost menacing tone, and pointing at Keitaro.

"GACK!" yelped Keitaro.

"What pervert?" asked Shuuri. "This guy? He's our landlord."

"Huh?" gasped Aisha, with a look of surprise on her face.

"What's the commotion here?" asked Touka as she entered the area with Sei and Sui in tow.

----------------

The dining area was being used as a makeshift conference room by the tenants, plus Keitaro, as they were seated around the rectangular table. Keitaro was on one end, Touka on his right, Sei on his left. Aisha was on the other end, looking expenctantly at Keitaro with an expression that bordered between neutral and angry. Flanking her were Shuuri on her left and Rinrin on her right. Sui was between Rinrin and Sei.

"So," began Aisha. "You mean to say you are the landlord of this all-girls dormitory now?"

"Uh, yes Aisha." answered Keitaro.

"And you girls are fine with it?" asked Aisha of the girls.

"Well, you said for me to take care of it when you left." said Touka. "Besides, it's Granny Hina's orders."

"And what if he does anything like he did to me earlier?" asked Aisha. Sui blushed as she remembered when the same thing happened to her a few days back.

"Hey! I didn't know you were in there!" retorted Keitaro.

Aisha glared at him. No man had ever seen her in any state of undress before, and she felt tainted now.

"Um," piped Shuuri. "I don't see anything wrong with him. He did give me a place to stay. I think he's a nice guy."

"And not only that, he's an aspiring Tokyo University student, even though this is his third try." said Sei.

"Yeah! He's great! Right onii-chan?" said Rinrin.

"Did you have to rub it that way Sei?" said Keitaro.

"What about you Sui?" asked Aisha of Sui.

"Heh?" yelped Sui. "Well... uh... I... ah..." she stuttered, her face all red.

Aisha sighed. "Touka-sama, I hope this doesn't get in the way of your studies."

"Ugh!" moaned Touka. "Please don't remind me."

"It is your father's wish. And as your protector I am sworn to ensure you make it through your endeavors." stated Aisha.

"Well that shouldn't be a problem." said Sei. "After all, Touka and Keitaro are both trying for Tokyo U. Maybe they can study together."

"Hmm." hummed Aisha, with a look of suspicion in her face. "Urashima-dono?"

"Ah! Yes?" replied Keitaro quickly.

"Just make sure nothing serious happens to Touka-sama." she warned. "If she doesn't make it to Tokyo U, you will answer to me!" she said, then got up. "I'll see you all later." she finished, then left the room.

"Geez, what's with her anyway?" asked Keitaro.

"She's a powerful naginata practitioner," began Touka. "And my personal bodyguard."

"She's so strong that she's earned the nickname 'The Beautiful Black Haired Bandit Killer'" said Sei. "They say she can take out a whole army!"

"Eh?" piped Keitaro, recalling the previous night's incident.

"Yep! She's awesome!" said Rinrin.

"Yeah! She's one of the few people I know who could really kick my ass!" said Sui.

"Of course the rumors can be exaggerated" said Touka.

"Yeah" said Sei. "I mean people tend to imagine her being a traditional Japanese Beauty Queen, but when the see her in person, they get disappointed."

"Sei!" scolded Touka. "Be nice."

"Anyway" said Sei. "Just don't mention that part to Aisha. She can get really touchy about it."

"Huh?" piped Keitaro. "Well, I mean she is beautiful and..."

"Oh?" wondered Sei, a mischievous gleam in her eyes. "Fancying her Mr. Landlord?"

"EH!?!? N-no! I mean..." panicked Keitaro.

"I don't think it's a good idea to try and consider Aisha as dating material Keitaro." said Touka.

"And why is that, Touka-sama?" asked Sei in mock doubt.

"She's very serious about her fighting abilities, and doesn't think she has time for dating and stuff." said Touka. "In fact she takes offense to anyone calling her a girl."

"Eh?" piped Keitaro. "Why would she do that?"

As the girls are conversing, Aisha is on the roof, doing katas with her naginata, and starting to break a sweat.

"Well, all I know is that when this one guy called her a girl," began Touka. "She replied angrily in these words: 'I'm nothing as weak as that!'"

"Hmm, well, she does have a point in a way." said Keitaro.

Shuuri had a thoughtful look.

"Hey! I'm not weak!" pouted Rinrin. "And I'm proud to be a girl!"

Sui nodded.

"Uh, I didn't mean it that way!" said Keitaro.

"And what did you intend to mean?" asked Sei.

"Well, I mean, girls are expected to like take care of the house, cook, and everything, especially when they get married." said Keitaro. "At least that's what my parents think."

"Yes, that's true." said Shuuri.

"Well, she can do those too." said Touka. "In fact she used to do part time jobs in those areas. She doesn't doesn't want to be though of as the 'Damesel in destress' type of girl."

Sui sighed.

"What's the matter Sui-oneechan?" asked Rinrin.

"Geez. My brothers kept picking on me because I'm the only girl in the family!" lamented Sui. "They made me do all the house chores while they lazed around, if they weren't training or studying that is. That's why I decided to become strong so I can beat them!"

"And so you did?" asked Sei.

"Hah! You wish!" said Sui. "They tended to play dirty so it wasn't so fun. Then when I started, um, growing, they..." She paused, then started to blush.

"They what?" asked Keitaro.

"Uh... eh... uh..." stuttered Sui.

"Got intimate with her perhaps?" teased Sei.

"#$%^*()!!!" Sui blurted out some gibberish loudly while her eyes boggled, her face got really red, and her body stiffenned.

"SEI!!!" yelled Touka.

"Uh, I think we shouldn't press any further" said Keitaro.

"Awww. Spoiled Sport" mumbled Sei.

"Anyway I'd better go study. Ugh!" exhaled Touka.

"Say Touka," began Sei. "How about studying together with Keitaro for a change?"

"Eh!?" gasped Keitaro. "Well... I don't think..."

"Hmm..." hummed Touka. "Alright, fine."

"Huh?" piped Keitaro.

"Perhaps it won't be so boring if I have a study-buddy." said Touka. "I've always had to study alone. It's so boring!"

"Um, okay." replied Keitaro.

"Well then you two" said Sei. "Go on and hit the books. Just don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"SEI!!!" yelped Touka.

"GWAK!" yelped Keitaro.

"Kiikikikii!!!" stuttered Sui.

"Mou! Cut it out Sei!" grumbled Touka. "Let's go Keitaro!"

"Ah... yeah!" replied Keitaro, walking out of the room with Touka.

A/N: I decided to add a few things to the setting. The ranch behind the Inn was there to have a place for a few animals to live in (like Rinrin's pig Napoleon - 5 points for anyone guessing where I got the name; and Sui's horses [something from the first game - Sui is good with handling horses]; and perhaps an opportunity for Ren [Ryoufu, the quiet but very strong fighter who was mistaken for a monster] and her dogs to have a place to stay).
