AN: I know that Subaru doesn't live with the Seals but it makes it easier to get the story off the ground. Plus I do not know how the other Seals address him with the honorifics, or how they address each other, so if I am wrong please correct me. And for those who don't know, an onsen is an outdoor Japanese hot spring. I have no clue if there is a place called Narita Onsen or not, I just got the first name from the airport. Enjoy!

"Subaru-san, there is a letter for you!" Kamui yelled as he ran up the stairs to Subaru's room. The doorknob turned and Subaru closed the book he was reading. He put a smile on and turned to greet the young Seal. "Here you go." Kamui handed the sealed note over to the onmyoji. "Arigato Kamui-kun" Subaru said as he took the note. Kamui grinned and hurried out of the room to leave the spiritualist alone.

The Sumeragi raised an eyebrow at this. Shrugging it off he turned the letter over and noticed there was no return address. 'That's strange' he thought as he ripped off the top of the envelope. A piece of paper along with a fragrant red rose fell out. Subaru sniffed the envelope and it smelled like the rose. 'So that's what he was smirking about. Teenagers these days.' He unfolded the note and read it. 'My dear Sumeragi master, you look like you need a break from your work. You simply push yourself too hard and that is why I have given you a full-paid trip to the Narita Onsen. The time is at 11 AM today. I would be honored if you accepted this invitation.'

The letter was not signed either. Subaru knew that if he went, he would have to be prepared. Setting the invitation down, he headed downstairs to breakfast. The sound of a pan against a skull rang from the kitchen. Arashi must have hit Sorata on the head for another one of his statements about how pretty she was. He walked by the kitchen and sure enough, Arashi was a bright red and Sorata was rubbing his head, laughing. Yuzuriha was bouncing around and chattering like mad while Kamui set the table. A wet nose bumped his hand; Subaru smiled faintly and scratched Inuki behind the ears. He made his way to the table and sat down.

"Oi! Good-morning Subaru-san!" Sorata said cheerfully as he brought breakfast to the table. Subaru just nodded his head in acknowledgement. "So, how was the love letter?" Yuzuriha asked in a playful voice. Subaru swallowed his tea wrong and coughed, turning scarlet. "Yuzuriha-chan! That's not a nice thing to ask!" Arashi said as she scolded the 14-year old. "Sorry Subaru-san, it's not my place to pry into your personal life." Yuzuriha said. "It's okay; I just need to go out." He said. "But you haven't eaten anything yet!" Kamui protested. "I'm not that much of a breakfast eater anyway Kamui-kun. Ja-ne." Subaru grabbed his coat, stepped into his boots and went out the door. The rest of breakfast was quiet.

The bus stop was unusually empty. 'Oh, I forgot it's the weekend isn't it?' Again he had lost track of the days. Hokuto would probably be yelling her head off at him for working to hard. If she was alive right now and saw him, it would be a full day of shopping for a new wardrobe and eating. He smiled absently; Hokuto had always been a smiling and lively person until.... 'Seishirou-san'. "Oi mister! Are you getting on or not?" asked the bus driver. Subaru started, 'Yet again I get lost in my own thoughts.' Subaru climbed onto the bus. The bus driver heard the satisfying 'Clink' of money and motioned for the man to sit down. The bus started off into the busy streets of Tokyo.

About half and hour later the bus stopped in front of the onsen. "You are so lucky mister." The driver said as the Sumeragi climbed down off the bus. "Am I?" Subaru questioned, turning to face the driver. The man quirked an eyebrow and closed the doors. The bus speed off down the road back to downtown Tokyo. Subaru's boots crunched as he walked up the gravel walkway. A young woman sitting at the desk look up. "Name?" she asked in a bored voice. "Sumeragi Subaru" he replied. She nodded and pointed off in the direction of the changing rooms. "Enjoy yourself sir."

After getting changed, Subaru stared at the water. Curls of steam rose off of it and caporized into the air. 'Should I have even come here?' he asked himself. "The whole point of going to an onsen is to get into the water, Subaru-kun." Subaru jumped and turned around to face Seishirou.
