Little Predicaments Hu/R PG-13 : *finished*

[Shadowman.EXE]

Awww I really love this fic Neko :D , Netto is so cute with Yui, awww, *Shadowman waits for the next chapter :poof: *

These are the typos I found in chapter 5

[Neko]

The plane landed two hours later in a private air field on the southern half of Jawaii. Netto looked around in interest to see if anything had changed since their last visit. Not much really had even when the hurricane hit the small island only three weeks before. “Not much had really happened since we were here last, huh?” asked Rockman.

Netto shook his head, “Nope. Kind of weird though, I heard a really big hurricane came through here a few weeks ago.”

Enzan nodded, “You’re right. But Jawaii is used to such things, so that means when a hurricane comes the people on the island know how to rebuild it fast. Staying down too long will cause a lapse in their tourism commerce, which is how they normally get their money.”

“Really?” asked Netto, slightly interested.

Enzan nodded, “Yeah, so when there is a hurricane you can normally make a safe bet that the island will be okay in about a week.”

“Is there any chance Dr. Cunningham got caught in it?” asked Laika.

Enzan frowned, “Well, that’s hard to say. If he was here at the time the hurricane hit then yes, he did. But there is every chance that he came right after the hurricane.”

“Why would he do that?” Netto asked.

“Well, coming into an area right after a huge disaster makes for a good cover,” said Manabe behind them as they walked down the sunny street towards their hotel. “However it also brings attention at the same time. That’s how I got the hint,” she said.

“Oh!” said Netto knowingly. “Okay, that makes sense.”

They walked up to a very luxurious looking resort called the “Sundance Hotel.” Netto whistled as they walked into the impressive building.

“Oh my,” said Yui, slightly intimidated.

“Heh, kinda big,” said Rockman.

“That’s an understatement,” Netto muttered back.

Yui nodded mutely.

“So, how long are we staying here?” asked Netto.

“As long as it takes,” said Manabe. “Why, sick of it already, Netto-kun?” she teased.

Netto sniffed, “Not likely. I just want to find Dr. Cunningham.”

“We can’t search for him directly, we need to get clues, remember what I said before?” asked Manabe.

“Yeah yeah,” said Netto.

“Undercover, right?” Enzan asked.

“Preferably,” said Manabe. “We can’t risk Dr. Cunningham learning that the Net Saviors are looking for him or he’ll just hide even deeper.”

“Not good,” said Netto.

“Exactly,” said Manabe. “So be careful about who you tell your real name to, okay?” she asked.

Everyone nodded and she looked pleased. “Okay good, I’ll check us into our rooms and then you can do as you please for the remainder of the day.”

“Yay!” cheered Netto.

“Okay, Yui and I will share a room and you three will share another room that’s next to ours. Any objections?” Manabe asked holding up the keys.

Everyone shook their heads and Manabe nodded handing Enzan the key. “Okay, see you tomorrow. I’m taking a nap.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

The rest of the day was uneventful as everyone was tired from the long plane ride. So not long after everyone checked in they all decided to go to bed. Netto had a better night’s sleep that time around mainly because he was so tired from the trip. Rockman however was grateful, regardless of the reason. Hanging out with a crabby Netto was not one of his favorite things to do.

“Mnnn… curry…” Netto babbled in his sleep and Rockman let himself have a quiet laugh. Always curry.

“Netto, shut up,” said Enzan crabbily, throwing a pillow at Netto.

Netto didn’t even stir as the feathered missile came on top of him.

“Enzan-san, he won’t wake up from that,” said Rockman quietly.

Enzan sighed. “I don’t care. Netto is really annoying at night, can’t you do anything about it?” he asked in a whisper to Rockman.

Rockman shrugged, “Sorry, I don’t have any control over Netto when he sleeps. I can only yell at him when he’s conscious.”

“To bad,” said Enzan only half jokingly.

“I can wake him up, but I don’t think that would solve anything,” said Rockman.

Enzan shook his head, “No, it wouldn’t. But still, he’s annoying.”

Rockman laughed quietly, “Don’t worry, he not normally this bad. He’s just kind of restless.”

Enzan rolled his eyes and fell back into his bed. “Good night, Rockman.”

“Night, Enzan-san.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

The next morning, Netto woke up farm more refreshed then he had the previous day. He was still a little tired but it was a far cry from staying up all night. “Morning Netto-kun,” his navi greeted from the monitor.

Netto was still half asleep and didn’t respond right away, when his did he just muttered, “morning,” back and went into the bathroom.

“Not much on a morning person, is he?” Searchman asked from Rockman’s left.

“Wha?” Rockman jumped and turned around to face his friend. “Oh no, Netto-kun has never been much of a morning person.”

“I think we knew that already, Rockman,” said Blues from Rockman’s right.

Rockman jumped again and whirled around quickly to face Blues. “Good Morning to you too, Blues.”

“You’re jumpy today, aren’t you?” Blues observed.

Rockman laughed nervously, “Yeah, I don’t know why though. I just have a bad feeling.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

“I have to WHAT?” Netto yelled.

Searchman whistled, “Nice call Rockman.”

They had gone downstairs for breakfast and their new assignment was handed to them. Needless to say, it wasn’t a happy moment for Netto.

Manabe raised her hands in a pacifist gesture, “Calm down Netto-kun. I’m sorry, but there really is no ifs ands or buts about it. Point being, you all are known on this island. It’s just easier if you pose as a girl, that’s all.”

Netto turned a bright red, “No, no no! Absolutely not!” he said.

Enzan sighed, “Netto, chill out. Didn’t we come here to reverse what happened? How can we do that if you’re not willing to make a few sacrifices?”

“Uh oh…” Rockman muttered.

Blues sweatdropped, “Enzan-sama…”

Before Netto could unleash his fury on Enzan, Yui came up behind him and put her hands on his shoulders. “Its okay, Netto-kun. If you don’t want to go out, I’ll stay here with you.”

Netto blinked, “Yui-nee-chan.”

“I don’t mind,” she said.

Netto sighed, “No, that’s not fair. Rockman and I promised you that you would have fun. I don’t break my promises.”

Rockman nodded, and Yui smiled. “You’re really sweet Netto-kun!”

Netto blushed and rubbed the back of his head while everyone else sweatdropped.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Netto, Enzan, Laika and Yui all walked down the street in loose summer shirts and shorts. Netto, finally breaking down, was posing as the younger sister of Yui. Laika and Enzan were Netto’s friends and they had come for their summer vacation. Or at least that’s what their story was.

Netto was blushing as they walked and Rockman was silently trying to console him. Yui on the other hand was running from store to store in hyper bliss. “Oh, this is so exciting!” she said. “Like a movie!”

Enzan sighed, “Okay, she’s the one who’s supposed to be watching us.”

Laika watched her as she flew from store to store looking slightly nauseous after a few minutes. “She’s almost as hyper as Netto.”

“I heard that,” Netto muttered.

“Okay Netto-kun, you need to cheer up,” chided Rockman. “You don’t play the part of a school kid in vacation very well.”

“I got air sick on the way over and I’m not feeling very well,” Netto replied.

Rockman face faulted in his PET, “That’s not what I mean.”

“Shouldn’t we be actually searching for information?” Enzan asked.

“Sure, where do we start?” asked Laika.

“No idea,” Enzan admitted. “Netto, you’ve been here the most out of us, where should we go?”

Netto looked at him, his arms crossed over his chest. “You’ve been here more then me, what are you talking about?”

“I don’t actually go anywhere, I’m normally in a meeting,” he said.

Netto shrugged, “Well, the beach is normally the place where most people go…” Netto admitted.

Yui came up behind them in a flash, “The beach! Oh, I haven’t been to a beach in years!” she said.

Netto realized his mistake, “Oh, hell no!” he said.

“You said it yourself,” said Enzan with a touch of laughter.

“The beach is where most people go on Jawaii,” Laika finished.

I am so evil.

*dies of laughter* I so know where that is going, and oh dear lord is it making my sides hurt from laughing. Excellent chapter, Neko.

Smart, Netto XD A great chapter (as always ^^;, I like the way you keep on bringing out Yui's personality. Keep it up~

[Roy Tanaka]

I too can see where this is going, and I'm going to enjoy EVERY minute of it. ^_^ Good chapter as always, as well as the one I missed.

[Neko]

Yui dragged Netto along the busy streets of Jawaii. There was little mechanical traffic but the place was full to bursting with tourists, businessmen and pedestrians. Neither Yui nor Netto had bathing suits and she offered to take Netto out to buy one, an offer he couldn’t refuse, literally. Manabe had ordered it.

They made plans to meet at the beach in forty-five minutes to search for anything to help them track Dr. Cunningham, in the meantime…

Yui ran up holding a sky blue one piece to her frame, “Well, do you like it?” she asked excitedly.

Netto blushed and looked away, “I-it’s nice,” he managed to say.

Yui was oblivious to his discomfort and ran off to find another bathing suit.

/You okay?/ Rockman asked.

/No,/ Netto said flatly. /Who wouldn’t?/

/Touchy at all?/ Rockman replied.

Netto crossed his arms and sulked, forgetting that the conversation was mental. /Who wouldn’t be?/ he said again.

/Touché,/ Rockman said. /But why don’t you try to have fun. For Yui-nee-san’s sake./

Netto rolled his eyes, thankfully no one was around to see, /I’m trying./

/I know,/ Rockman said, trying to soothe his twin’s growing agitation.

Yui came out of the dressing room in a pretty red, one piece bathing suit and sheer red flower print beach skirt she tied around her waist. A straw hat and cute sunglasses completed the ensemble. “Ta-daa!” she announced. “How do I look?”

Netto and Rockman both turned equal shades of red, “V-very nice, Yui-nee-san,” Netto said.

“Y-yes,” agreed Rockman.

Tyui giggled, “Okay, no we will find you one.”

“If it’s all the same to you, I think I’ll wait at the hotel,” Netto muttered.

“Ha ha, cute joke. Now come on,” she said and grabbed Netto’s wrist, pulling him into the bathing suit section of the store.

“Ha ha, joke, right,” Netto said sarcastically.

/Netto-kun, be nice! She’s trying./ reprimanded Rockman.

/I’m shopping for bathing suits,/ Netto hissed.

/May I point you to the Aki-chan contest?/ Rockman said slyly.

/First thing I’ll do when we’re done shopping is get you a dress up chip if you say anything else,/ Netto said. /See if I don’t./

/I believe you,/ Rockman laughed nervously.

“Come on, Netto-kun, this is supposed to be fun!” Yui said happily.

“Yeah,” Netto replied none too happily.

In the end Netto got an orange one piece and a large white beach coat to go over it. If he had to wear it, he could at least cover it up.

Yui checked her watch, “Oh my goodness, we’re already ten minutes late, come on we need to get ready,” she said quickly pulling a bewildered Netto out of the store.

They went back to the hotel and changed. Netto rather grudgingly put on a hat and sunglasses that Yui had bought for him and they set off for the beach.

They walked along the packed beach looking for their group. Instead they ran into a small girl and what presumably was her younger brother looking around desperately and on the verge of tears.

“Are you okay?” Netto asked them.

The children looked at him and started to cry. Netto felt terrible and tried to calm them down.

/Netto, you’re probably scaring them with your appearance,/ Rockman said.

Yui was at a loss of what to do and the kids continued to cry. They attracted a few stares and Netto laughed nervously. He took of his hat and glasses and knelt down to comfort the children. “It’s okay, I won’t do anything,” he said.

They looked at him and stopped crying, probably because they didn’t know what else to do. The girl stepped forward, “We’re lost,” she said.

“Oh, that’s terrible,” Yui said.

“So you know where your mother or father is?” asked Rockman.

The children looked at Netto’s PET in his hand and gasped with delight. “A navi!” the girl cried out.

Netto nodded, “Yes, she is my navi,” he said. ‘Man, it feels weird to call him she,’ he thought to himself.

“Was she caught by the virus?” the girl asked excitedly.

“Yes, I was. Now, where are your parents?” Rockman asked again.

“We wandered to far into the surf, we can’t see our beach blanket,” the girl said and the boy nodded in agreement.

“What color is your blanket?” Yui asked.

“Green,” they boy said in a quiet voice.

“Well, then let’s go look for it!” Yui said.

/Laika and Enzan are gonna kill us,/ Netto said.

/Do we care?/ asked Rockman.

/Not really,/ said Netto.

/Exactly,/ came the reply.

/You’re awfully lax today, Rockman,/ Netto said while the small boy took his hand and he and Yui led them down the beach.

/I figure we should delay meeting with them for now. Or is my guessing of your thoughts wrong?/ asked Rockman.

/So I don’t want them to see me, can you blame me?/ asked Netto.

/No, that’s why I’m not yelling at you about taking this whole side trip,/ Rockman said.

“There!” the girl’s voice cut into their thoughts. She pointed to an electric green beach blanket roughly the size of a large kiddie swimming pool.

“That’s… green,” Netto said slowly.

“Green,” Yui said softly, almost mesmerized by the brightness of the blanket.

“Mommy!” they boy cried out and ran over to a woman on the blanket. They girl followed and they jumped on their mother.

“Janet, Kyle, where have you been?” Your dad has been searching for you for hours!” she said.

“We got lost,” Janet said. “They helped us back!” she pointed to Netto and Yui.

The mom stood up and nodded at them. “Thank you,” she said.

“No problem,” Netto said.

“Bye nee-chans!” Janet waved.

“Nee-chan?” Netto asked.

“Go with it,” Rockman murmured.

“Bye!” Yui called as they walked away.

“that is green,” Netto said.

Yui nodded, slightly dazed. “Makes you wonder how they got lost in the first place?”

Rockman laughed, “Who knows? I bet Netto could get lost.”

“Har har,” said Netto.

“Hey!” they heard a voice behind them and they turned around to see Enzan and Laika running towards the,. “You late,” Enzan said once they caught up./

Netto shrugged, “Oh well.”

“Come on, we need to go see what we can find out,” Laika said.

Netto shook his head and unconsciously drew his beach coat tightly around his body. “Can’t I just watch the blanket?” he asked.

“You’re being very childish about this,” Enzan said pointedly.

“Do I care?” Netto asked.

“Do you want to be a girl?” Laika asked.

Rockman smiled, “He has a point, Netto-kun.”

Netto grumbled and grudgingly followed his friends. Yui nodded and walked off in a separate direction. “Think she’ll be okay?” Enzan asked.

“I don’t think you have to worry,” said Searchman. “She probably saw Manabe-san, the blanket isn’t too far.”

“Aren’t you hot?” Laika asked Netto, eyeing the beach coat.

“No,” Netto said.

“Yeah right,” Rockman said only loud enough for Blues and Searchman to hear.

“Netto, you can attempt to be a little willing for this,” said Enzan.

“I’m trying,” he hissed.

“Just be a little more cooperative,” Laika said.

Netto sighed, “If we go to the blanket, I’ll take off the coat, okay?”

“So what is our plan?” Blues asked.

“We will see if we can hear any rumors. Talk to vendors and people in tourist shops to see if they know anything,” Laika said.

“Very good, so why did we come to the beach again?” asked Netto.

“Because it’s easier to talk to the people whose shops are right on the beach front. Chances are if Dr. Cunningham showed himself, there will be rumors floating around somewhere,” Laika said.

Netto laughed, “Yes, because you two are so social.”

“Ignoring that, let’s start with the beach front,” said Enzan.

“With a detour by the beach blanket,” said Netto.

“Hot?” asked Enzan.

“Shut up,” Netto muttered.

That was... hilarious! Heh, good one, Neko. My gosh, the towel was really that green? @_@

Here are the typos I caught:

[Yue-chan]

*snickers* I have seen blankets like that, and it does make you wonder how someone with that color would get lost to begin with.

Poor Netto, just wait till Enzan and Laika see him in the bathing suit. And the reference to the Aki-chan contest was hilarious.

Wondeful chapter, Neko.

They walked by the large white blanket where Yui and Manabe were laughing and talking. Manabe gave Netto a small wink as he walked up to the blanket. “Warm Netto-kun?” she asked.

Netto blushed and nodded.

“Are you three going around to find information now?” Manabe asked.

Laika nodded, “We’re going to start on the beach front and see if any of the local shop keepers know anything.”

Manabe nodded, “Good, good. Okay, you three be back here in two hours though. I want to make sure you’re all okay.”

“We’ll be fine,” Enzan said.

“I know, I’m just making sure,” Manabe smiled.

/Netto-kun, take off the beach coat and let’s go!/ Rockman mentally yelled at Netto.

/I’m going to! Just give me a minute,/ Netto replied.

/Are you really that embarrassed?/ Rockman asked.

/No,/ Netto said slowly. /Just a little, apprehensive,/ he said choosing his words carefully.

Rockman saw through the ruse and snorted, /Right./

“Netto, are you ready?” Laika asked.

Netto jumped and looked at his green haired friend, “Y-yeah. One second,” he smiled and hesitantly shrugged off the beach coat.

Laika and Enzan couldn’t help it, they stared. They didn’t even realize they were starting until Netto cleared his throat in a loud manner and walked towards the beach front. “We’ll be going now,” he said in an annoyed voice.

Laika and Enzan snapped back to reality and blushed for all they were worth. “R-right,” Enzan said.

Laika didn’t say anything and followed Netto to the closest shop.

Yui laughed, “That was almost cute,” she said.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

The threesome walked into a nice cozy tourist shop filled with pens, shells, towels and other beach paraphernalia. The owner was a kindly, heavy set looking woman who sat on a stool behind the cash register. “How may I help you?” she asked.

“We’re looking for someone,” Enzan said.

“Oh? Well you’ve come to the right place, I know anyone and anything that happens to be on this island,” she boasted.

Enzan nodded, “I’m sure. Have you heard any rumors about a scientist hiding out in the caves here?” he asked.

The woman stroked her chin thoughtfully, “Now that you mention it I do. I heard of some crazy scientist who lives in the sea caves on the north end of the island. Jack told me about him, I said ‘Jack, you’re a crazy man. There ain’t no one who is dumb enough to try and live in those conditions.’ He says to me, ‘Now Lilly, you know I’m not a fibber, there’s a man up there, and he’s strange too.’”

Enzan cleared his throat, “Yes, thank you. May you tell me where this Jack is?” he asked.

“Oh Jack? He owns the sea rock café down the street. Nice place too, it has great pancakes,” she said wistfully.

“Thank you for your time,” Enzan said and left the shop, closely followed by Netto and Laika.

“If you need something, make sure to come here!” she called out in a kind bon voyage tone.

“So, Jack then?” Laika asked.

“So it would seem,” Enzan replied.

“Well, let’s go,” said Netto, making a bee line for the café.

“Wait up Netto!” Enzan called and ran after the fast departing friend.

Laika sighed and ran to catch up with both of them. Sometimes it was impossible for anyone to keep track of the other and if Netto ran any faster he was going to loose track of everyone.

Netto walked into the small café and looked around. There was a tall, sea weathered man with a kind face polishing glasses behind a counter. Netto’s face lit up and he walked over to where the man was. “Hello?” he asked.

The man looked up from his work and smiled. “Why hello there young lady, what can I do for you?” he asked.

“Young… oh yes! Ummm, well, we talked to the lady in the tourist shop down the street and she said you knew where a scientist was hiding in the caves on this island,” Netto said.

The man stroked his chin thoughtfully just as Lilly had. “Yes, now he was an interesting character. I met him when I was looking for scallops to make my soup with. They always taste best fresh.”

Laika and Enzan came into the café and stood behind Netto to get the information.

“Anyways, I found this old guy in the caves 30 feet above the ground. Interesting guy, said he was developing a new program and wanted to be left alone.”

“Any idea where he is now?” Laika asked.

Jack nodded, “Yes, if you go to the north end of the island there is a small inlet. Above it are a bunch of cliffs and naturally made sea caves. Why do you know the man?” he asked.

“Kind of,” Netto laughed.

“Well, I hope I helped you,” he said.

“Your information was very valuable, thank you,” Enzan said.

“Care for a drink?” he asked.

“Maybe later,” said Netto and he hurried out of the café with Enzan and Laika in hot pursuit.

“Kids these days,” the man said under his breath. “Always in a hurry.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

“Netto, wait up!” Enzan yelled and Netto stopped to let Laika and Enzan catch up.

“You heard him, let’s go before he leaves,” Netto said.

Enzan shook his head, “Not yet, Netto. We need to get ready to go into a cave area. Also we should go at night so he won’t be able to detect us until we’re close enough to him to actually catch him. Let’s wait out the rest of the day here and leave in the evening.”

“Enzan’s right,” Laika said. “Barging there in the broad daylight will only tell him we’re here and on his tail.”

“Fine,” Netto muttered. “But I wanna go back to the hotel.”

Laika shook his head, “We stay together, Netto. Besides, we need to check in with Manabe first.”

“It’s only fair Netto-kun,” Rockman said.

Netto gave an exasperated sigh. “Fine, then can we go back to the hotel.”

Enzan smiled, “Sure, then we’ll go back to the hotel.”

Netto gave him a grateful smile, “Thanks.” Then he walked down the beach in search of Manabe and Yui.

Laika put his hand on Enzan’s shoulder. “You’re blushing,” he said quietly.

Enzan put a hand to his cheeks and felt the warmth spreading across them. “I’m sun burnt,” he said quickly and followed Netto’s path.

Laika sighed, “Right,” he said.

Netto ran into the open beach to see if he could spot his towel. While he searched an unknown person came up behind him. Netto didn’t even notice until he put his hand on Netto’s shoulder and asked, “Are you lost?”

Netto spun around and looked at a tall brawny youth who obviously lived and played some beach sport on Jawaii every day. Netto smiled nervously, “Kind of.”

“Maybe I can help you then. I know this place like the back of my hand,” he grinned at Netto.

“N-no thanks, I can find my own way around,” Netto said quickly.

The boy looked a little put out. “Oh, okay, will I see you around then?”

“I don’t think so,” Netto smiled. “I’m leaving in a few days.”

“Okay,” he said and left Netto alone.

“That was a bit harsh Netto-kun,” Rockman said.

“Rockman,” Netto said.

“Yes, Netto-kun?”

“Shut up.”

Rockman sighed, “All right. Oh Enzan just sent you an e-mail. He said look to your upper right.”

Netto looked up and saw Enzan and Laika waving at him. He smiled, waved back and made his way towards the blanket. Maybe it would all be over sooner then he thought.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

The threesome waited out the rest of the day in the hotel. Netto was wearing a comfortable loose shirt and shorts and Enzan and Laika had donned similar clothes. They sat around talking and reading for the rest of the afternoon and around five Manabe and Yui came into the hotel.

“Ready boys?” Manabe asked.

The three nodded and Manabe smiled. “Good, let me get into some better clothes and we’ll start.

Yui followed and the two older women got dressed. In ten minutes the small group was outside and walking in the twilight.

“Now, be wary of traps, motion detecting equipment and anything suspicious. This man in paranoid and this might be one of the only chances we’ll get for the time being. Are you ready?”

“Yes,” they said.

“Good, we’ll be there in about ten minutes. Good luck.”

Yay! New chapter!
