Chapter 2 - New Tenant

"Hmm. Gotta find a place to live," Kiera muttered, searching through the newspaper. "Crap, I can barely read this." She folded the newspaper and leaned against the building, waiting for her new friends.

Keitaro and Naru walked out the entrance of the University, talking and laughing. They spotted her and hurried over.

"Hey, what have you got there?" Keitaro asked, grinning.

"Need a place to live," she muttered. "But, I can barely read the newspaper." Her cheeks reddened slightly.

"Well, I'm the manager of an all-girls dorm," he said, rubbing his neck and looking away.

"Why is guy the manager of a girls' dorm?"

Keitaro and Naru looked at each other and sweatdropped. "Long story."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~

"This is it."

Hinata House loomed at the top of a long staircase. The American rubbed the back of her neck. "Dorm? It looks more like a freaking mansion." All three of them had begun climbing the stairs and stopped at a landing.

"You think so?" Keitaro asked, tilting his head and looking at the building. Then he stumbled and landed on Naru. Immediately he leapt off and began apologizing profusely.

"Sorry, I'm sorry!" He said in a rush, waving his hands out in front of him. In the flurry, one hand landed on Naru's breast.

"YOU PERVERT!"

Naru pulled her fist back then sent in crashing into his face. He flew, literally, in the direction of the Inn.

"Holy shit, I think you killed him!" Kiera screamed.

"Don't worry, his perverted ass will be fine." Naru replied calmly, climbing the stairs and not turning to face her. Kiera sweatdropped. `Maybe staying here is gonna be a bad idea.' She thought as she climbed the stairs after Naru.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~

Keitaro had reached the Inn faster than the two, courtesy of Naru's punch. He climbed to his feet and stumbled through the front door of Hinata House. `I better tell everyone we have a new tenant.' He thought glumly. Wrapped in his thoughts, he walked straight into a semi-drunk Kitsune.

"Hey, have you finally given up on Naru?" she ran her hand down his chest. "'Cause I'm still game." Kitsune gave him a drunken smile.

"N-no, I h-haven't Kit," he stumbled away, blood trickling out of his nose. "Sempai, you're home, but where is Naru-sempai?" Shinobu asked as she walked out of the kitchen.

"Oh, Shinobu. Would you mind doing me a favor and getting everyone down here?" Keitaro asked.

"Of course," she replied with a smile and hurried up the stairs. Naru and Kiera chose that moment to walk through the door in silence. Naru motioned for the foreigner to sit. Kiera sat down and took off her sunglasses and Naru sat down next to her. Motoko, Su, and Shinobu walked into the living room.

"Urashima, what is important enough for you to interrupt my training?" Motoko asked gruffly.

"Yeah, Keitaro! What's so important?" Su grinned cheerfully.

"Well, now that everyone's here. We'll be having a new tenant staying with us." Keitaro said. "I hope Aunt Haruka won't have a problem with it."

"Problem with what?" Haruka walked into the room.

"Oh, Aunt Haruka." She walked over and slapped Keitaro on the back of the head.

"Just Haruka. Now, what problem?"

"No problem. Just a new tenant?" Keitaro phrased the last part into a question.

"You're the manager. Just make sure she fills out the papers. I'm heading back to the teahouse. By the way, I'm Haruka Urashima." Haruka stuck out her hand to the impending new tenant. "Kiera Trinh," Kiera shook her hand quickly and let go.

"As I was saying, Kiera is going to be a tenant here for now. She doesn't speak much Japanese, only English." Keitaro continued. "She can understand Japanese though."

Motoko eyed the black clothed foreigner with distaste. "Urashima, this isn't some poor disguise to sneak one of your perverted male friends in here, is it?" she glared at the Kiera suspiciously.

Keitaro shook his head and opened his mouth to speak, but Kiera stood up and cut him off. "Hey, who are you callin' a guy? Have you not been given a basic anatomy lesson before? Here, lemme enlighten you. Keitaro, come here and stand still." Kiera pulled him over.

"Okay, basic physical looks. Males have narrow hips." She gestured to his hips. "Second, women possess these things called breasts." She put her hands up to her chest. "See, breasts," she used a tone that one would use to talk to a small child. "And third, males have external sex organs called a penis. Women have vaginas." She patted the crotch of her semi-baggy jeans. "Nope, no penis here. Any questions?" She smirked.

It was absolute silence for a second or two. Then Kitsune and Naru burst into loud, raucous laughter while Motoko, Keitaro and Shinobu blushed hotly. Su looked confused. "What's so funny?"

Kitsune and Naru laughed even harder, they were wiping tears from their eyes and had difficulty breathing. "I-I have to go practice," Motoko tried to get away quietly. Kitsune's hand clamped around her wrist. "Oh no you don't," she smiled her foxy smile. "We haven't even begun introductions yet."
