The bus ride was long and boring, but it was worth it. I was at Bell Liberty School, nicknamed BL Gakuen, and was ready for the best three years of my life.

Oh my, I haven't introduced myself. Where are my manners? I am Yusuke Haga. I am not native to Japan. No one in my family was. My family was killed in a fire, so I moved here and changed my name. I was about to start high school at that time, so I got to attend a Japanese Boys High School. Several months later, I got the platinum paper, or the entrance letter for BL Gakuen. Of course I agreed., why wouldn't I? I was out-of-season, though. I guess they really couldn't recognize my talents if I didn't attend a Japanese school until a week after I arrived in Japan.

So here I am. I was greeted by a boy with short brown hair and blue eyes. His name was Ito Keita.

"I'm Yusuke Haga." I said, bowing. "Please take care of me."

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll feel right at home here." He said. Like home? What home? I lived by myself when I got to Japan. But, apparently, I had muttered something without knowing.

"What do you mean, 'What home?'" He asked me. "Are you an orphan?" I managed a nod. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know so-"

"It's okay." I stopped him. "I understand that you didn't know." I looked up and smiled at him. He smiled back.

"Do you want to go to the cafeteria? It's lunchtime. After that, I'll give you a tour."

"It's a plan." With that, we both walked over to the cafeteria. I was quite surprised to find that they had American food. Of course, I would get some. I didn't know how long it's been since I had a hamburger. I was rather quiet while eating, like usual. I didn't really talk to people I didn't know very well. Because of that, I had quite a hard time making friends.

"Hello!" I literally fell out of my chair. I looked up to see who had greeted themselves. It was a boy with red hair and green eyes. "Oy, Keita! Who is this? Obviously, he was talking about me.

"It's the transfer student who arrived today." Keita explained. The boy turned to me.

"Why aren't you talking? Dazed by my handsome face?" He asked.

Yes.

But I didn't want to seem weird.

"Hell no!" I said. He just smiled and laughed.

"There we go!" He turned to Keita. "Better answer than what you had, Keita." Keita had blushed slightly.

"Shut up, Shunsuke!"

I stood up since the ground was uncomfortable. The boy introduced himself to me.

"I'm Taki Shunsuke. Just call me Shunsuke, 'kay?" I nodded.

"I'm Yusuke."

"I heard that you're from America. Is it true?" Shunsuke asked me.

"I guess..." I replied.

"Strange...you don't have an American name..." I heard Keita mutter.

"That's so cool! What's it like there?"

"Very dirty and there's a lot of bad people." I answered truthfully. "Not exactly the best place in the world..." The two stared at me. "What? I answered truthfully!"

"Wasn't there a saying that went something like, 'Love Thy Country'?" Shunsuke asked.

"No...that's 'Love Thy Neighbor'..." I said.

"HONEY!" I heard someone shout. I turned around to see who it was. It was a man with long blonde hair put up in a ponytail running towards us. He wore a tennis outfit.

"Naruse-san..." Keita muttered. The man arrived and wasn't out of breath.

"Honey..." He whined. "Why are you here flirting with other guys when you have me?" I blinked a few times in confusion.

"Naruse-san! It's not like that!" Keita said. "I was just eating lunch with Haga-san and then Shunsuke appeared."

"Haga?" He turned to me. "Are you Haga?" I nodded quickly.

"Yes, I am Yusuke Haga..."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Naruse Yukihiko."

"Hey! We have the weekend off! Why don't we go to the onsen?" Shunsuke said, changing the subject for no reason.

"Onsen?" I repeated. "Where'll we find one?"

"We have one here!" Naruse said. "It'll be the perfect date for my honey and me!" He went up and hugged Keita.

"Oh, but I couldn't!" I said.

"Why not?" Shunsuke asked.

"It's because..." I scrambled my brain for an answer. "Because...I get dizzy easily!"

"That's why they invented the open-air one!" He replied. "We'll all hang out in the open-air bath. Unless, you're chicken." I paused.

"I'll try..."

"Then it's decided!" Keita said. "Tomorrow, we'll all go to the onsen!"

HAMU HAMU HEAVEN!

Yusuke: -walks up to Keita- Oy, Keita!

Keita: What is it-hamu?

Yusuke: What's your favorite food-hamu?

Keita: Ano...That would be the miso soup-hamu! What's yours?

Yusuke: The hamburger! It reminds me of home-hamu...-tears up-

Keita: Ah! What's wrong-hamu?

Yusuke: The fact that my computer melted in fire which destroyed my home-hamu...-cries-

Keita: That's...it?

Yusuke: Keita, Naruse, Shunsuke, and Yusuke all take a trip to the onsen. But Yusuke has something to hide. What'll happen-hamu? Next chapter, The Onsen Trip! Miss this and you'll regret it!

R.e.V.i.E.w! The hawt smexy Shunsuke demands it!
