August 1st: Stranded and Welcomed

I was having a great dream. I was with my family on a beach together. I was so happy, but it ended. I slowly open my eyes and see a small all-white-painted room. I take a look without moving my head, and see some familiar tools and a red cross on a wall. I was on a hospital or something. I wasn't on life support, that's good, I can feel my heart pounding normally, and I don't feel any pain, most likely the doctor gave me some pain killers. I slowly stand up, I was resting on a bed with some blankets on, and take another look at the room, and I don't see anybody but I can hear voices coming by.

The door opens and see a young husky-girl in her nurse inform with a big red cross on her chest. She looks at me in surprise and she smiles. "Hey, how are you feeling?" she said in perfect English.

"Uh... I feel... dizzy." I said as I place my hand on my head and feel a gauze bandage wrapped around my head.

"Don't worry you're going to be fine, you had an accident and broke your right wrist and an injury on your forehead. There's nothing serious." She said. "Can you stand on your feet? I'll help you." She said.

"I... I can feel my legs, I guess I can." I said as I moved from the bed and nice and easy with no problems I stand on my two feet. What a relief for me! But I feel a little dizzy. Looks like I'm hungry, my stomach growls, the young nurse hears it.

"Here, eat this, it'll give you energy." She handed me a granola bar and I eat it... it was good!

But my mind is beginning to ask questions, a lot of questions, important questions. "Where am I?" I asked.

"You're in Minasato Village's infirmary. You been unconscious for... seventeen hours." She said while she look at the clock.

"And what today is it?" My eyes were wide opened, because of the large amount of hours I been sleeping.

"Is August 1st, the bus crashed yesterday afternoon. You better call your family, they must be worried, what was the last time you called them?" She said and changed the topic.

"Oh, you're right." I grab the phone on my pocket and was still intact but no bars... damn it!

"You can use our phone in the waiting room, this village is far away from the ranges." She guided me to the sitting room, she handed me a cable phone (pretty old fashion). As I hold the phone and pushed the buttons. I'm going to call my uncles, they will help. I was waiting and waiting and waiting... finally someone answered.

"Hello, this the Sullivan resident, who's speaking?" a familiar deep voice came through the phone.

"Uncle Henry!?" I exclaimed while speaking English.

"Kelly!? Oh thank goodness! Are you okay!? Where the hell you been!? You said you were coming before sunset... wait hold on. I'm putting on speaker everyone wants to speak to you." Oh boy...

"Oh my gosh, Kelly! You're alive!" My sister, Sylvia.

"What the hell, Kelly, we turned around and now you were gone?" My cousin, Ashley.

"Hey easy, is our fault that we never noticed his presence!" My older cousin, Ashton.

"Oh Kelly, I'm glad that you're okay, we were so worried about you." My aunt, Samantha.

Hearing their voices again, I couldn't bear it anymore. I started to cry, the nurse noticed this, and she saw my face of happiness.

"Kelly, are you crying?" Sylvia asked.

"Y-yes, I'm so happy hear your voices again!" I can't control myself. "Have you guys heard the news? That the bus that I was on, it crashed." I asked if they know already.

"Yes, we been waiting for you at the bus station until we heard the bad news, we were so terrified. We had no information." Uncle Henry said. "Are you okay?"

"Y-yes, I-I'm fine, except that I had sprained my right wrist and head." I simply replied.

"Ouch!" Sylvia, Ashley and Ashton, said. Yeah, it wasn't pretty.

"Oh, you poor thing! Not my nephew." Samantha said and continued, "So where are you?"

"I'm in Minasato Village, I'm not familiar this place." I said.

"Oh, I know that place!" Samantha said it in surprise.

"You do?" Me and Sylvia asked.

"Ashley and Ashton and I spent a week, by accident, last year on August in a Bon Festival that was held in that village. It was really fun!" Samantha said it in a happy tone.

"Okay, good. So... when you guys are going to pick me up?" I said.

"Uh... Ashley, Sylvia, could you please leave us alone with Kelly for a moment?" Uncle Henry requested my two relatives, their voices were gone. That leaves Ashton, Henry and Samantha. "Listen Kelly, uh... please don't get mad... but... can you wait until the end of the month?" he said it nice and gently.

"WHAT?!" I said it loudly that the young husky nurse turns her head and look at my angry face while holding the phone. "But, why?!" I asked.

"I'm sorry Kelly, but you see, this month is going to be very busy and Samantha, Ashton and I can't pick you up until the end of the month. I'm sorry," a voice of shame came from my uncle's mouth, he can't do anything about it. He continued, "and also, all the bus service has been suspended after the accident, and also reaching where you are is a very hard place to reach." He finished.

I sighed and reply, "Oh... okay." I calmed myself.

"All right, Kelly, listen to me, how much money you have in your wallet?" Samantha asked.

"Uh, I got 3,000 USD in yen." I haven't spent it on anything yet. I've been using it in case for an emergency.

"Okay good, there's an inn where you can stay, is not very expensive." An inn that I can afford? That's something.

"There's an inn? Oh, okay then." I said.

"You can stay there and our problems are solved." She said.

After having a chat with everyone on the phone and explained what happened to me and now I'm at the infirmary. I hanged up the phone and it looks like... I am all alone...

"What happened? Everything's okay?" The young nurse asked in a worry.

"Looks like I'm stuck here." A simple answer was enough, I sighed because this was something unthinkable to ever happen to me, and it did.

"Sorry to hear that." She said.

"Where's the inn in this village? It's somewhere near by?"

"Yes, is not that far, just follow the signs, it will take you there in no time. Oh, I almost forgot, I believe this is your luggage, Mr. Sullivan." She handed me my big suitcase and my small backpack... wait the second, how she knows my surname?

"Uh... how you know my name?"

"Your address is written on your backpack and your suitcase. The bus driver came here and left them here and I realized that it was yours, obviously, since you're the only one who got injured." She pointed out. Oh, that's right. "I'm Saki Okamoto." She introduces herself.

"I'm Kelly Sullivan." She knows my name already, but, I wanted to introduce myself more officially.

"Come on, you need to get yourself checked. The doctor is waiting for you at the room." She said as I came back from where I waked up.

After getting myself checked, the doctor told me that I was stable and healthy again and my injuries can be treated with some medications which the doctor gave me some. I was surprised that Saki and some of her friends, already paid my medications. Despite that I have emergency money. But I really appreciated what they did. As I was about to leave, I asked Saki. "Saki, uh... how I... who saved my life? Was it the bus driver?" I asked her a serious question and she has to know, obviously. I say it in Japanese, and she was surprised that a foreigner knows Japanese.

"Well, he did, but he gave the credit to the two real heroes, which were one of my friends, one was at the bus stop, when it happened, he helped the other passengers to safety and he and also another friend of mine, who was onboard the bus, he said that he was sitting next to you, found you unconscious inside the bus. The two carried you to the infirmary, and me and the doctor treated your wounds. None of the passengers were hurt, only you." She said. What a relief! Everyone on the bus are safe, including me!

"So, who are these two who saved me?" I asked Saki.

"Torahiko Ooshima and Hiroyuki Nishimura. I think they're still at the inn by now. I think they'll be happy to see you." Saki replied.

"Happy to see me?" I said.

"Yeah, and besides, you're now planning to stay there, aren't you?" She said.

"Uhh... well yeah. I better thank them."

"See you around, and get well."

I picked my luggage and leave the infirmary with my 50 pound suitcase and my 10 pound backpack. I'm now outside, it was sunny and see other small buildings around me and... people sort of looking at me. Looks like this village is full of beastmen than humans. Back home there's more human than beastmen, but in school I see more often of different species. I also live next door to a family of bald eagles, when I was 8, I remembered to see their 3 new born eagles, they were adorable, kind of creepy without their feathers, but it grown in later months. Ironically, they were Canadians.

As I wasn't familiar this place, I walked around and see a sign with directions pointing which way. It was written in Japanese letters, one gave me the attention. "The Ooshima Inn is that way". As I walked to the direction where the inn is, I see the beautiful landscape and a strange sound of some sort of insect. I think is called Cicadas, they sound really loud but not so annoying. This village is so quiet and peaceful. A village like this one it seems like everyone knows each other.

It was quite a long walk. I've finally reach the inn, the exterior looks pretty nice, and the name of the inn seems obvious. Saki told me that one of the two people who saved me, one of them is called Torahiko Ooshima, so is he's the owner of the inn? Lets find out!

I entered the lobby, there was nobody around, except that tiger-man that is sleeping on his job behind the desk, with his newspaper covering his face, and resting on a chair all relaxed. His snoring and the tick-tock sound of the clock was making me inpatient.

"Uh... excuse me..." I snapped my fingers to wake him up.

The newspapers flew everywhere and the guy burst in surprise and yelled, "I wasn't sleeping, Uncle!" He stand up and looked around and he stared at me.

"Aahh... I'm so sorry, I didn't meant to startle you!" I picked up some of the papers that he dropped.

"Is okay." He calmed himself and he looked at me and said. "Hey, how are ya feeling? That was some ride you had there yesterday." He acted like if he knows me. Do I know him? But if he said that, so that means...?

"Are... you... Torahiko Ooshima?" I asked.

"Yeah, and you must be 'The Sleeping Beauty', hahahaha!... Just kidding." He laughed.

"So, you're one of the guys who saved me!?" I said with a smile, "I'm Kelly Sullivan, I-I... I have no words, but... thank you so much!" I was so happy to meet one of the persons who saved me. "The doctor and the nurse told me everything that you and your friend saved me from dying." I said.

"Well I glad that everything turned out to be okay. So, what brings you in this village?" Torahiko said.

"I was on my way to Tokyo, but the accident happened and now I'm stuck here. I would like to check in, please."

"Sure, how many days?" He asked.

"Uh, believe it or not, I'm planning to stay here the whole month, but don't worry I have enough money to afford." I replied.

"Wow, okay, sign here and I'll give you the key." He handed over the check in list.

I have a little problem when it comes to my name. Not sure if he's asking "my full name", but just to be sure. I wrote: Kendrick Elijah Lincoln Lloyd Yestin "Kelly" Sullivan... Yeah, I have a very long name.

"That's your name?" Torahiko said while chuckling.

"Yeah, is a long story." I nervously smile.

Then somebody enters the lobby, he looks very familiar. "Good morning, Hiroyuki." Torahiko said... Wait, Hiroyuki?

"Morning, Torahiko, I've just made reservation at the restaurant." He said and he looks at me, he was right in front of me.

"Hey, I remembered you. You were sitting next to me, on the bus. You're Hiroyuki Nishimura, right? I'm Kelly Sullivan, thank you so much for saving my ass back there." I said while smiling and shaking his hand, with my left arm. I'm surprised that he didn't have any injuries after the accident. "How come you don't have any injuries?" I asked Hiroyuki.

"I do, just this one." He showed his left hand, it was covered in bandages. "I got a cut by the glass after it crashed. How about you? You were in a critical condition." He asked.

"Just my head and my right wrist, but nothing too critical." I simply said.

"I see you've met Torahiko." He with a simle.

"Yes, what a hero, and you too." I said.

"Here's your key of the room and have a great stay." Torahiko said in great spirits and continued, "Let me help you with your luggage."

"Oh, thank you."

"Hey, Toshi, where are ya!?" Torahiko shouted. I hear somebody coming from another room.

"Why every freaking time, I go to the bathroom, you have to call me." He looked so serious. He's a husky like the young nurse I met. He's wearing a sleeveless violet and gray jacket (that covers most of his torso) over a black long-sleeve T-shirt, which is tuckered up to his elbows and black pants and dark gray sneakers. That's something I would wear. "What is it, well?" He said.

"Will you help him to carry his luggage to his room?" Torahiko said. Wasn't he going to do that, was he?

"All right then, what room is he staying?" He asked and I looked at the key and it said '64' on it. The young steward carries my luggage and I follow him to the second floor.

"So, you're the unconscious passenger that my friends were talking about, right?" he said, "I'm Toshi Miyazaki, I'm going to be your steward for the rest of your stay." I'm not used to be served, but this is quite exciting. We stopped and there's the door. "Here we are." Toshi said as we entered the room. The room was spacious. Simply decorated in Japanese style. "You got lucky, this was the only room available." Toshi said.

"Really, why?"

"Most of the guest are from other towns and are staying for some events that are going to take place here," Toshi said, "and besides, some are from the bus that had crashed and they have no place to go and you happens to be the last one, right?" He said and continued, "There's the bathroom, the closet, a queen-sized bed, a fan, a small TV, a small refrigerator, and a great view of the town." He opened the curtains and exposed a nice view of the village, I was impressed.

"Well, I'm going to leave you alone, so you can settle things around." He said as he closed the door. I opened my large suitcase, it was full of clothes and other stuff. I put all my clothing in the closet and drawers and there's stuff that can't be mine. It seems that my cousins have been using my suitcase as inventory... What the hell Ashley and Ashton! There's a cable phone on the nightstand, next to the bed. I better call my family. I dialed the numbers and waited.

"Hello, this is the Sullivan residence, who's speaking?" Ashton answered.

"Hey, Ashton, is Uncle Henry there?"

"No, he left this morning and... have you checked in?"

"Yeah, the inn is nice and the room is comfortable. Hey, did you tell Sylvia and Ashley about this?" I was referring the one month stay in shelter. Sylvia and Ashley didn't get the information. I don't know how my sister reacted.

"Yeah, I told them about it, Sylvia got mad at my Dad and she called him a 'bastard'." He replied.

"Yup, that's my sister alright?"

"I'll call you later, I'll tell my Mom you've checked in."

"Uh, Ashton, where I am right now there's no signal, I'm calling you through cable phone, you can't call me through my cellphone."

"Oh yeah, that's right, I remembered, that village was out of range. How can you survive without technology?" Ashton thinks I'm a domestic type of person.

"No worries, I'm an outside person." I said to Ashton.

"Okay then, bye Kelly, get well."

"Bye, Ashton." I hanged up.

Then somebody is knocking the door, I waked a few steps and answered. Is Toshi. "Hi, Sullivan... listen, uh, Torahiko and Hiroyuki would like to invite you to come to a get-together party at a restaurant, would you like to come? Is at 11:30 AM." That sounds fun.

"That sounds good, of course I'll go. And besides, I do own Torahiko and Hiroyuki for saving me. Is at least I can do for a return." I said as I smiled.

"Splendid and...," he looked at me as in exanimating me, "Um... Well, is still 10:00 AM... You might better take a shower... You look kind of dirty after your ordeal." He said it without problems, but he was right.

"Yeah, I better get myself ready." I closed the door.

Is really strange that the others I have met didn't comment my ruined clothes. I looked myself to a mirror and see my new appearance, I was a mess. I'm wearing a gauze bandage around my head like a sweat band and my right wrist is protected on a wrist wrap. My gray T-shirt is covered in blood stains and my pants were ripped apart and my old navy-blue hoodie jacket is also covered in blood stains and a ripped hole on the back of my jacket. I take off my ruined clothes and take a shower, it was refreshing. I really needed that. I dried myself and fetch some new cleaned clothing from the closet. A blue T-shirt, black pants, a black coat-jacket and some clean boxers. I fixed my black short-hair, carefully since I got an injury at my right forehead. I looked new and I feel great. Is now 11:15, I better go. I walked down the lobby and meet, Torahiko and Hiroyuki, they were waiting for me.

"There you are, you look great." Hiroyuki said.

"Thanks. So, where's this restaurant?"

"Is at the shopping district area is not that far, just come with us and you'll see." Torahiko said.

"All right then." I said the two.

We walk to the urban area, and as I was walking behind them, my deep-blue eyes were wide opened. I see the tiger-man and the human holding hands together.... Best friends don't hold hands together. It was clearly that these two are same-sex couples, I did not even want to ask. And don't get me wrong, I'm also gay, but sadly, I'm currently single. We arrived at the restaurant called Raimon, looks like we arrived early, huh.

"Did you tell them at what time we suppose to gather?" Hiroyuki asked Torahiko.

"Yeah, they will come, just wait." Torahiko replied.

I looked at the restaurant, looks simple, but it has its charm. Everyone on the village seemed to come here regularly. I wonder what food they're having, there's some interesting dishes on the menu board.

"So when you guys think they will-COOMMEE!?" As I asked the two, something yelled, 'HIROYUKI!' and grabbed me around my torso. "What in the world!?" I cried, something furry is hugging me.

"Is great to see you again Hiroyuki-san, I'm glad you're okay!"

A little... a little wolf-boy is hugging me all his strength, crushing my torso, it was hurting me! Then a cat-man came in front of me and said. "Shun-kun, that's not Hiroyuki." Next to him was another husky-man, not Toshi, because he's not wearing a modern type of clothing. He's wearing a black tank-top and some jeans and a different hair style.

"Uh, Shun-kun, Hiroyuki is right over there." The husky-man said to the little wolf-boy.

"Huh?" He looked to his left and saw Hiroyuki over there and began to wonder, 'who's the guy I'm hugging right now?' he looked up straight at me and I just simply said, "Uh... hi?" to him and he was embarrassed and I was blushing also from embarrassment. "Hafu! I'm so sorry. I thought you were someone else." He apologized but he was red in the face.

"Is great to see you, Shun-kun." Hiroyuki chuckled.

"So you must be the 'extra guest' that Hiroyuki was talking about." The young cat-man said.

"Uh, yeah, I'm Kelly Sullivan, and you?"

"Shin, Shin Kuroi." He said.

"And I'm Kouya Aotsuki, is nice to meet you, Kelly." The young husky introduced himself and smiles.

"Nice to meet you, Kouya-san." I said as I shake his hand.

"Please, just Kouya." He said. Some people prefer to be addressed without the honorifics.

"Oh, okay, then, and what's yours?" I asked the little wolf-boy.

"I'm Shun Kodori!" He said with a big smile and good spirits, he looks so happy and adorable, despite his little incident.

"Hi everyone! Are we right on time?" Saki arrived and she wasn't wearing her nurse uniform, she was casual. She's wearing a white button down blouse, with a green tie around her neck, and a black school skirt. And walking along with her was Toshi.

"Yeah, you guys are right on time." Torahiko said the two.

"Hi, Kelly." Saki said, "Toshi-kun, have you met, Kelly?" She asked Toshi.

"Yes, I'm serving him for the rest of the month." He simply put it that way. "Oh, here comes, Tatsu-nii." Toshi pointed and I see a large seven-foot tall green dragon man, he's huge!

"Yo, hello everyone!" He then looked at me and smiled, "Hi, I'm Tatsuki, what's yours?" He is friendly.

"I'm Kelly, oh... watch my arm!" He handshakes my wrong hand.

"Ah... sorry, I didn't know!" He apologized and let go off my hand.

"Is okay, I'm just happened to be in a delicate condition." I said it painfully.

"Midoriya-san, you better be careful with people who have medical conditions." A deep voice said. It was a large bear-man he looks heavily serious by the look on his face.

"Hey, Juuichi met our new guest, uh... what's your name again?" Did Torahiko forgot? What the hell, he was blushing.

"I'm Kelly Sullivan." I said to the big bear.

"I'm Juuichi Mikazuki." He showed a little grin, but got short lived and looked at the tiger and hit him on the head. What the hell!? "Tora! That was for yesterday!" I don't know what happened yesterday, but the last time I remembered, I was unconscious.

The tiger stands up and rubs his head. I actually felt that pain and I also rubbed my head. If you know what I mean. "Okay, okay, I deserved it. You don't have to be so violent in front of our new guest." He said to Juuichi.

"Hey everyone, who's cooking for lunch!" I turned around and see a young lion-boy and a Labrador dog-man walking in the restaurant.

"Hi, Kyouji-senpai, hi, Soutarou-kun." Hiroyuki greeted.

"And who's the new guest that you've mentioned?" The Labrador asked.

"Meet, Kelly, he's a tourist and he's stuck here or something." Hiroyuki replied.

"I'll explain everything later." I said.

"Nice to meet you, Kelly, I'm Kyouji Takahara and this is my partner, Soutarou Touno. I hope you get well." He said. The young lion-boy raised his hand and shake mine like crazy, good thing he didn't shake my other hand.

"Nice to meet ya, Kelly-san."

"So that's all, are we all accounted for? Lets eat!" Tatsuki said.

"Uh... where's Kounosuke?" Toshi realizes.

"We can go on without him, he's always late, at the last minute later." Saki said with a annoyed face.

"So... when he's...." I was about to ask, but it was interrupted by a loud crash I turned around and see a tanuki or a raccoon dog. Making one heck of an entrance by sliding through the entrance door, but failed and hit on the wall, is he all right?

"Don't worry, I'm here." He stands up and he looked at me. "Hey! You must be the sleeping beauty!" He takes a picture of me with the flash on.

"AAHH... my eyes! Please don't take flash photography!" he takes a look at the photo and said.

"Hey, you got violet eyes, just like Saki." The tanuki said.

"My eyes are gray." She corrected him.

"No, my eyes are blue." I corrected him.

"Not on this picture." He showed to me, but there's a logical explanation.

"Because you took the picture with the flash on, causing the red-eye effect, and what happens when you mix red and blue together?" I said to him.

"Violet!" Shun-kun answered loudly, and he was correct!

"Oh, no wonder Shin looked like a vampire." The tanuki said.

"What did you say?" Shin said.

"Oh, nothing, lets get started, I'm Kounosuke, and you?" he said.

"His name is Kelly Sullivan, and you better get those disturbing pics erased or burned!" Shin's mad.

Now that everybody's here, we can take a seat and have some lunch. I'm freaking hungry! I've skipped dinner and breakfast and I been holding a growling stomach. The only thing I have ate was that granola bar that Saki gave me. I sit down and look on the menu card. There was interesting stuff on the menu. I can't choose which one. I was so hungry that I can't think straight. I already ordered and wait for it.

"Hey Kelly-kun, you want some sake with that?" Tatsuki offered.

"Tatsuki!" Saki stands up from her seat, "What are you thinking!? He's in a delicate condition and he can't drink, even if he's not into that." She said, she glared at the dragon, with that serious look on her face, as a nurse is her job.

"Sorry, I was just offering."

"Watch out, he can be a heavy drinker." Kouya said, whispering.

"Can wait to see some action." I muttered, I turned to the waiter, "I'll have some tea."

"So, Sullivan where are you from?" Juuichi asked.

"I'm from Seattle." I replied.

"Isn't the city with the Space Needle?" Kounosuke asked.

"Yeah, I live on an apartment, and has a nice view of the city, including the tower."

I live on a almost high class society, my parents are pretty wealthy, so as my uncles. I don't attend on a private school. I'm still living like a normal teenager in the west coast of the United States. Crazy things did happened on my high schools years, and those where the good times.

"So, have you visited Japan before?" Kouya said.

"Yes, but that was four years ago, and I only stayed there for a few days. The reason I visited was that my dad used me as his translator."

"Well, that sucks." Torahiko said.

"It wasn't that bad, but sadly, I didn't get to go places. I only got a tour in Tokyo and that's it."

"And this is your second time visiting, right?" Kouya said.

"Yes, and this time is two months, that's enough to travel all of Japan."

"So, what did you do on the first month?" Kounosuke asked.

"I visited the Tokyo Skytree, the Tokyo Imperial Palace, the Himeji Castle, the Hiroshima Memorial, the Golden Pavilion, the Mount Fuji, the Mount Asama, and some museums around. Oh! And also a cruise to Okinawa Island. This was me and my sister and my cousins."

"Wow, all that in one month?" Soutarou was amazed.

"Yup."

"Kelly, when did you learned to speak Japanese?" Shin asked.

"Not just Japanese, I speak eleven languages." I said.

"You lying!" Torahiko said it laughing.

"Oh, you don't believe me!" I smirked.

"Shin-kun speaks French, right Shin-kun?" Hiroyuki said.

"Yes, I bet he's just showing-off." Shin said in French.

"Okay, fine then, I was just sharing." I said in French.

"Okay, he's not lying..." Shin said in Japanese, he continued, "So, what other languages you speak?"

"I speak Spanish, French, Japanese, Italian, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Korean, Swedish, and English, my main language." I replied Shin and the others.

"So, you're multilingual." Shin said.

"Yup." I said. I know is hard to believe, if you know that language you speak to prove it.

"So, what brings you here?" Kouya asked.

I think I should say everything what happened yesterday. I just simply said everything from the beginning to the end, every one listened. And I would like to hear Torahiko and Hiroyuki's point of view. Maybe I can find the last piece of the puzzle. Why they were there?

Torahiko speaks up. "I was waiting for Hiroyuki at the bus stop, he called me earlier that he was coming earlier the afternoon. So I waited, at that moment, I saw the bus arriving, but... then it happened... I wasn't sure if Hiroyuki was on that bus, but he was. I helped the other passengers, and the bus driver began to count, he said there were 40 people. He counted 39, I found Hiroyuki in one piece and...." Torahiko paused and Hiroyuki continued.

"I remembered that I was sitting next to you and you haven't got out and Torahiko went inside and found you, you looked really bad and hurt, so Tora and I take you to the infirmary so the doctor can treat your wounds."

Feeling now satisfied and pleased, but for Torahiko and Hiroyuki... I mean, if Hiroyuki was hurt instead of me, I could help. Something tells me that Torahiko would have suffered pain over his lover, but that did not happened, and I'm glad that nobody died that day.

"Thank you so much for all your troubles." I calmly said to them, and I mean it.

"No problem." Hiro and Tora said.

The food arrived and I was hungry like hell. Today, I'm going to eat like a king. While talking and eating, I realized that I had a lot in common with them, Torahiko cooks, I sometimes cook dinner back home, while my parents are not around. Shin speaks three languages and I'm multilingual. Juuichi do Judo, well my cousin, Ashton, he do Judo. Kyouji and Soutarou play soccer, I'm used to be a member in a soccer club in my high school. Shun-kun play video games, I do have my new video game console, but I'm not an addict. Kouya plays the guitar, I play the piano, my mom thinks that 'if you play the piano, you can play every instruments in the world'. I doubt about that. Tatsuki said that he had a plane that he restored, I do have an aunt and she's a pilot of an airline. Kounosuke, well, he always wants to travel around the world, but he told me he always wanted to live where Hiroyuki is. I visited Alaska, France, Italy, Hawaii, Canada etc. He was jealous! I was full, nothing can fit in my stomach, I think I'm going to puke.

"Hey, is there a telephone pole around?" I asked.

"There's one outside." Toshi pointed through the window.

I went outside it was still noon or afternoon. I picked the phone and added some coins and pressed the buttons.

"Hello, this is the Sullivan residence, who's speaking?" Sylvia answered.

"Hi, Sylvia, how's everything?" I said in English.

"Everything's fine, Kelly, I'm pretty upset what Henry did to you. Leaving you stranded with nothing to do there, and also, our vacation is ruined." She said.

"I love you too, sis." Yeah is all ruined. Then another voice enters my ear.

"Hi, Kelly." Is Ashley. "How's your stay in Minasato?" She said.

"Well, Ashley is not that bad, I just met some people around and I'm feeling nicely welcomed." I said.

"That's nice of them." Sylvia said.

"Yeah, they are nice people, they're close to my age, also." I said.

"Looks like this unplanned stay of yours is going well for you, huh, Kelly?" Ashley said.

"Yeah, I think so." I said as I look the others through the restaurant window, I smiled.

After having a little chatting with Sylvia and Ashley, I hanged up the phone and I saw Kouya in front of me. "Hey, Kelly, do you want some desert? There's pie." Kouya offered.

"Sure." I said as I returned to the restaurant. This unplanned event of mine seems something special, I don't know why? But I feel that I'm gonna, explore it, enjoy it, love it, and this was just the beginning.
