CHAPTER TWO
EXPLINATIONS

Finally the last guests were leaving. Everyone had a busy day cleaning up. Each of our tenant's families was the last to leave.

Shinobu's parents each gave her a small hug and told her “Be good daughter. We love you so much. And we are sorry that we haven't been there for you to see it as much as you deserve.”

Amara told Kaolla-Su “Your heart's dreams will come true very soon my sister, very soon. All you must be now is patient.”

Mutsumi's parents hugged her tightly and whispered “Good Luck. You're going to need it around here. We always thought your *chough* choices would lead you into trouble, but it look like they might just give you some happiness after all.”

Tsuruko lovingly hugged Motoko and said “Abide with honor my sister. This family has paid a price I thought was impossible, but they have done so. They are our masters now in honor. Treat them accordingly.”

Naru's parents and little sister each gave her a warm hug and said “We love you, come and visit when you can o.k. I know that you and your young man will be busy for quite some time but that does not excuse you from ignoring us, ok”

Keitaro and Kanako's parents hugged them both. Then their mother looked at Keitaro “Everything will be fine you'll see. We'll check up on you soon.” She said as she tried desperately, and in vain to smooth out his constantly unruly hair. Their father gave a stern look to Kanako saying, “Help Keitaro if you can dear, I think he may need it. And try not to cause too much trouble, I think he is going to have trouble enough for a-while.” To which Kanako replied softly “I would do anything for him.”

After that, things seemed to get back to semi-normal at the Hinata Apartments.
The only thing that seemed to have changed was the way the girls were acting towards Keitaro. They seemed to treat him a great deal kinder. In fact some of their actions were almost bizarre. Although they were treating him with a lot more leniency, some of the thing they were doing was driving poor Keitaro up the wall. After about a week of the girl's odd behavior he went looking for his aunt. He found her wandering among the cherry trees humming a little tune to her-self. The only thing that seemed to be missing was the ever present cigarette.

“Aunt Haruka,” He asked nervously “do you have a minute?”

“Yes Keitaro,” She replied. The ever-present cigarette was now hanging from the corner of her mouth but when she spoke it fell to the ground as she turned towards her nephew. She quickly stepped on it then stooped to pick up the butt. Straightening back up she continued “I always have time for my favorite nephew. What can I help you with, rent collecting from Mitsune or maybe helping repair damage from one of Kaolla's robots hmm...?”

“Well..,” He stammered nervously as he shifted the weight from one leg to the other and started to blush lightly. “I just have a question concerning the girls if you don't mind answering?”

“I might be able to give you an answer.” She said smiling inwardly as she noted his awkward movements. “Ask away.”

“Its just well they've all been acting a little strange every since the funeral you know.” He stammered as his blush went from a light rose to a cherry red. “I mean none have them have tried to put me into orbit in over a week. And the thing is the stuff I normally would get pounded for has been happening more and more often recently.”

“Like what?” She asked as she struggled to keep from grinning like the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland.

“Well...” He stammered on. “Like this morning. Naru poked her head into my room through that hole that I never get around to fixing, and well, she was wearing this really baggy sweater I think she borrowed from Mitsune, because, well…”

“Go on.” She said trying her dammed best to remain serious, and was failing.

“Well...” He said, his face burning crimson from his embarrassment. “The sweater must have been way too big for her because when she leaned over it fell over her head.”

“So?” She asked, as her struggle not to laugh became an outright battle.

“So,” He said, his voice rising to the point he was almost yelling. “She wasn't wearing a bra. I saw her breasts and she didn't put me though the roof. And on to of that she seemed to be naked below the was too. Because I thought I saw A glimpse of her… nether region. All she did was smile at me and blush. In fact that's all she did. She just hung there like it was normal for me to see her nude. Then after a minute she straightened out the sweater and blushed some more as she pulled her head back through the hole. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.”

“So what's wrong with that?” Haruka asked coughing, and not from the cigarette.

“What's wrong with that?! Four days ago I went to wash some clothes, right. But when I opened the door to the laundry room I thought I was going to get killed. Because Kaolla-Su was in there, and she was stark naked! I guess she was changing or something. But when she noticed me she didn't yell or sic one of her crazy robots on me, she just bent over and grinned at me from between her legs. I mean she showed me everything. Then after a minute or so she did some sort of weird back flip turned to face me and grinned again as she closed the door on me. I know I just stood there in shock for a moment but, I mean I saw everything she had to offer and she just grinned? I swear she was trying to give me a good look at everything she had to offer and al she did was grin. I though I was going to get killed.”

“Then, about three nights ago I went out to clean around the springs as scheduled. No problem right? Wrong. I didn't know Motoko was using them at the time. I wasn't paying much attention as I walked out there but when I did look up she stood up. But she didn't call me a hentai or a baka; she just kind of slowly turned around and ran her hands the length of her body. It’s like she was trying to show off for me. She Even did some kind of sexy little dance and wiggle while she rubbed herself with her hands. Then she covered herself up, stood there a moment longer, blushed and ducked back under the water and pointed for me to leave. I was sure she was going to punt me to the moon but she just pointed for me to leave. And I swear she was smiling as I left, she would normally be kicking me over the apartments for that and she just smiled as I left?”

“Then yesterday Shinobu asked if I would help hold the ladder for her while she got something off the top shelf of the main hall closet. Of course I helped her, and stood there and held the ladder. But when I looked up and she wasn't wearing any underwear at all! I mean her butt was four inches from the end of my nose. I swear she had just gotten out of the bath because she was wet there for some reason. When I saw that all I could do was stand there and drool. You know she is a little young but what was I supposed to do? But did she yell and run off when she finally saw me looking? No! She just calmly finished getting what she was looking for then just as calmly she got down off the ladder, blushed, and walked off holding whatever she was looking for. And I swear I saw he bend over one more time to give me another look. Why would she do that? On purpose anyway”
“Last night I was sitting on the couch innocently talking with Mutsumi about the funeral when she put her hand on my thigh. Well, I guess I really wasn't paying any attention, I mean she was trying to comfort me I thought. That is until she said goodnight. I mean it's kind of hard to ignore someone giving your crotch a squeeze. I mean why would she do that? She put her hand on my crotch and gave it a squeeze like she did stuff like that all of the time. All I could do was sit there and try not to panic. I mean how often does a girl do that? She seemed to be taking great joy in it too. If she had kept it up much longer she would have embarrassed both of us”

“Then just about an hour ago, Mitsune walked up and gave me a hug and asked me if I needed anything. Thinking she might need another loan I started to reach for my wallet. But before I could ask her how much she needed she reached down and grabbed my butt. She grabbed my butt and was rubbing her chest and thighs all over me. I know for a fact that she wasn't wearing a bra because I could feel her bare breasts underneath her shirt. And then she started to moan in my ear. Then after she had done this for about five minutes she kind of shuddered against my body then let go of me winked and then ran off laughing. Thinking she might have picked my pocket again I checked for my wallet but it was still there. She has always been a terrible tease but she has never done anything that forward before.”

“And just inside the door mind you, and not ten minutes ago Kanako walks up to me and kisses my right on the lips. I mean she's always been a little like that I guess but never quite this brazen. And to make it worse I swear she forced her tongue into my mouth. She just stood there and french kissed me for a couple of minutes then she groped on me then licked my lips one last time when she kissed me again. Then she walked off like nothing had happened. So have all the girls lost their senses or am I just loosing my mind?”

At this he finally had to stop because he had run out of breath.

`My poor clueless Keitaro' Haruka thought `that boy is so innocent at heart he can't even tell when a girl is putting the moves on him. When these girls finally get him in bed he is probably going to have a heart attack. If any of them had done this stuff to any other guy he would have popped his rocks off in his jeans. I can't wait to see what he acts like when he finally gets laid. I wonder if the monks would be willing to wager on which of the girls gets him first.' Then she asked as calm as she could muster “Is that all?”

“Is that all?!!” Keitaro squeaked “Is that all? I keep waiting to get clobbered for it but it hasn't happened yet. And worse I just told you the tip of the iceberg. Stuff like that has been happening all week.”

“The simple explanation is,” Haruka said lying outright “is the girls were really worried about you when you were very sick for so long. I'm sure that once they think you can handle it again they'll pound you good.”

“Gee thanks, I guess.” Keitaro said softly not looking forward to the time the girls thought he would be healthy enough to kick over the apartments again. “But it almost seems as if they want me to see them naked now.” He said even softer.

“Keitaro,” Haruka asked needing to talk about something serious before she fell over laughing. “Why haven't you asked me about the will? I know it came as a shock to you when she left you everything. And it came with the strings that you had to fix the property up when you didn't even know it existed.”

“I've been trying not to think about it.” Keitaro said suddenly sounding very depressed. “I just can't understand anything about it. Grandma knew my field of study was archeology, not hotel management. Why would Grandma Hina give me the apartments? And what about all of that money, where was it when we were making all of the repairs before? And why didn't she leave all of it to you or my parents instead of me? I mean you've been here longer than I have. I'm sure you could run the place better than I ever did.” As he spoke lines of worry began to etch into his young face.

“I wouldn't worry about it too much or you're likely to get sick again. Things will turn out in the end you'll see. You grandmother, busybody that she was, wanted to make sure that thing went her way as usual. She must have thought you would make a fine hotelier or she wouldn't have given you the challenge. And if you're worrying about having too much money, most it will probably be gone by the time you make all of the repairs in the list of projects your grandma said needed to be done. And as to why she left the place to you instead of your parents or even me? Well…we are very firmly established. We are set in our ways, so to speak. By leaving the place to you she was hoping to give you a leg up on life. And with the help of the girls I think this place could be a top resort hotel once again.” Haruka said as she lit up another cigarette.

“I guess so; it just seems like a little too much that's all. I mean I just don't know if I will be able to handle it.” Keitaro said sighing “I mean, for me to get all of the things she wants done in time would be a big job for a company, let alone a guy like me.”

“And as I said don't worry about it.” Haruka said as she took a long drag from her cigarette. “And if you think the girls won't give you a hand with what needs to be done you really haven't been paying attention to them. Why when you were sick who made sure you got the treatment and the help you needed? The girls did. There wasn't a minute that went by that one of the girls weren't with you. In fact I think you owe them your thanks for everything they did for you while you were so ill. Ether that or you parents neglected to teach you proper manners.”

“You're right I should thank them for all of their kindness. But that doesn't mean I should make them help me with the work that grandma meant for me. I don't think it would be fair to them.” Keitaro said frowning.

“Why don't you talk to them about it after supper and see what they say about it? And speaking of supper we should get inside. Shinobu will have it ready soon. Haruka said in a matter of fact tone.

As they walked back up to the apartments the conflicting emotions that filled Keitaro's mind were temporarily forgotten.

Everyone seemed bright and cheerful during dinner that night. Even the reserved Motoko joined in the playful bantering. And when Kaolla-Su tried to leap across the table for the last piece of the desert Motoko surprised everyone by quickly popping it in her mouth just as Kaolla got to it.

After dinner everyone was in the foyer watching television when Keitaro saw his aunt signal him from across the room.

Standing up he walked over and shut of the program they were watching. As the girls started to complain he said in a loud voice while looking at the floor. “I have something important to tell you. After that I will turn it back on so can you please listen to me for just a moment?”

“This had better be good Keitaro honey, or I'm going to be real upset. I like that show.” Mitsune said with a wicked gleam in her eye.


“Its just well…” he stammered then cleared his throat “I just wanted to thank all of you girls for the help with the funeral. And then you all help to take care of me when I got sick. I just wanted you girls to know I appreciate all the help you have been lately.”

“Keitaro, we all loved your grandma, and if we didn't take care of a friend when they got sick well what kind of friends would we be.” Mutsumi said sweetly.

“That's not everything, I Know my grandma wanted you to help me repair the buildings on the grounds but I won't ask you to do that. I owe you girls more than I can ever repay and it would be poor of me to ask anything more of you than you have already given.”

“Are you suggesting Urashima, that we be lax in our duties to your ancestor. That we sit back and do nothing while you take care of all the problems yourself. If that is what you are thinking then you are very sadly mistaken.” Motoko said brandishing her bokkan in his direction.

“What…but I” Keitaro stammered not understanding.

“She means, you stupid baka, that if you think we're going to sit on our butts while you do all of the work your being a bigger baka than usual.” Naru said slapping him lightly in the back of the head.

“That's right Keitaro honey. You've done a lot more fore us over the past few years and if you think we're going to leave now that thing have gotten tough you're sadly misinformed.” Mitsune said grinning

Everyone laughed when Kaolla-Su bounded on to Keitaro's back and said “We'll fix everything good tomorrow huh Keitaro?”

“Yeah, tomorrow, and thanks everybody.” Keitaro said noting the warm, I told you so, smile from his aunt.

At this Shinobu ran out of the room and everyone was at a loss to explain it. But she came back shortly carrying the vial and scroll she had received from the lawyer.

“Haruka-san, do you know why Grandma Hina left use these?” She asked softly “I wanted to make sure it was O.K. before I read this. And I don't know about the vials, other than they are filled with pretty water.”

“I feel great spiritual energy coming from the vials.” Motoko said frowning slightly. “I feel it is a positive energy, but for some reason I cannot determine the nature of it. They make me nervous”

“I don't know what's in the scrolls you'll have to read those for yourselves. But I can tell you that the vials contain a very special tea that she brewed the day she passed away. She could make very little and wanted you each to have some, so each of you received enough for just one swallow, a taste if you will. And it was her idea to put it in those fancy vials. I guess she thought they would look nice.” Haruka answered calmly while placing a gentle hand on Keitaro's shoulder.

“If it was just Kit here getting the scroll I would say it's a bill for past due rent. But we all got one.” Naru said laughing while giving a light punch in the shoulder to Mitsune who in turn poked Naru back and replied.

“I resent that Naru, I haven't been behind on my rent all week.”

At this everyone laughed and felt better about the conversation

“If Grandma Hina brewed this wonderful tea for us I suggest that we all get ours and drink them together in her honor and memory” Mutsumi said sweetly.

“Yeah,” Keitaro piped in. “we can all get ours and drink them together. What a great idea, thanks Mutsumi.”

“I think she might have left instructions for the tea in the scrolls.” Haruka said hastily pointing to the scroll in Shinobu's hand. “I suggest that you each read your scrolls and use the tea as instructed. Besides I think it will do you all good to know what she had to say.”

“Thanks aunt Haruka we'll do that.” Keitaro said happily. Half a second later he was face first on the floor as Haruka stood over him brandishing her broom like a club.

Grinning down on her sprawled out nephew and giving him a wink she said “I thought I taught you about calling me that. I'M NOT OLD YET.”

Everyone laughed and relaxed visibly after that.

The rest of the night was spent watching television and laughing and joking between on another until the wee hours of the morning.

“Have a good night everyone, and pleasant dreams.” Haruka said as she wandered off towards her small apartment above the tea shop. When she got there she lit up another cigarette and by the light of the flame you could see her grinning as she giggled and thought to her-self `Has it started already dear mother, you meddling old biddy? Just what kind of spell did you cast on those poor kids? And just what are they going to go through to make your perverted little wish a reality. I mean even little Shinobu is acting like a sex starved tramp. I don't even think any of them realize it yet but when they finally do it going to get very interesting around here. Kami I really have to see if those monks would wager on this. This could be the biggest family wager since the old biddy took them all on and left them panting for more.

The rest of our residents stayed up a little later until one by one they wandered off to their respected rooms. The problem was is none of them could sleep. They tossed and turned but sleep would not come. And almost as one they got up turned on their lights, got the scrolls and vials that Grandma Hina had left to them. And as one they began to read. Each had a different experience and each found a similar dream.
