Downtown Tokyo, with Jordan

Eiji and Jordan exit Milliways into the middle of a large department store in downtown Tokyo.

Eiji blushes a little, remembering that they probably should have exited the fitting room one at a time. A woman walking by gives them a strange look.

"Okay, well just to warn you, my friends are weird," Eiji tells Jordan, pointing his thumb towards the door. "They're in a tennis shop a few doors down."

Jordan giggles and nods. "I think so... even if I end without money, I have the train pass to get back to my hotel."

And it turns out she has just enough yen on her to pay for her purchases. But she will need help carrying it.

Ever the gentleman, Ōishi offers to help carry, but if Jordan needs more help she might have to physically shove some of it onto Eiji.

"Is there anywhere else you wanted to go?" Ōishi asks. Eiji looks at him like he's crazy.

Oh, Eiji is spared it, for now. "I don't think so... not right now at least?" She gives the two a bright smile. "Thank you, being tourist is much better when you have the right company."

They both smile back at her. "No sweat," Eiji winks. "Anytime," Ōishi agrees.

Fuji walks up, followed closely by Tezuka. "Oh, are we done here?" he asks. "Where to now?"

"Hmm..." Ōishi thinks. "I guess we could try to meet up with the others, if they haven't gone home already." He whips out his cell phone to text Inui.

She stands by Eiji, smiling.

Oh, Jordan is planning something, right?

Eiji blinks at her.

"What is it?"

"What is what?" For shame, Eiji! Jordan is the picture of innocence!

...

Right. But she probably does not plan conquering your world.

Eiji shrugs. "Nothing, I guess." He rubs the back of his head. He was just wondering if she moved to stand near him because she wanted to say something. But all the better if she just wanted to stand next to him!

Ōishi looks up from his phone. "Okay, they said we can meet them back at Shinjuku station, if we want." As an afterthought, he adds, "He didn't say what they'd been doing all this time, though."

"They were obviously up to no good." Jordan grins, slipping her right arm into Eiji's, and her other into Ōishi's.

She's ready to go.

And with that, they all head back to the station.

"So what all did you buy?" Fuji asks Jordan.

"Mostly stuff I don't have already or I don't have a close similar already." She walks between the two boys, passing the second Bag of Loot to Eiji.

Fuji is welcome to check her selections.

Fuji peeks into the bag to give things a glance. "Good selection. That's quite a lot of stuff... you must have a lot of time on your hands."

Jordan shakes head. "No, I'm stocking up for weeks or months of reading: who knows when I'll have the chance to come here again?"

"Travel from America is rather expensive," Fuji agrees.

Only a few more minutes' walk to the station.

"Travel, and stay, and all the time." Jordan nods, agreeing. "I'm lucky I met Eiji."

Speaking of which, Eiji is the target of a bright smile.

Eiji blushes a little bit and smiles back.

"Where are you staying?" Fuji asks. He seems to be looking at Jordan somewhat carefully.

Jordan raises a brow at Fuji, naming a chain hotel she knows is a few stations out of the boys' way... hopefully, the chain exists there too.

Of course, she's not already staying there, but she can take care of it quickly.

Eiji raises both eyebrows at her. He was surprised she was able to answer so quickly.

"Would you like us to take you there after we're done today?" Ōishi asks her.

"Oh, you don't have to. I bugged you guys long enough." And she needs some time to hack into computer systems and set up a room reservation for herself.

Pre-paid.

They've made it to the train station by this point, so there's a pause in the conversation until they're standing on the platform.

"We should start thinking about where we want to go for dinner," Eiji says. "I'm getting hungry, nya."

"Poor Eiji-chan..." Jordan smiles, tugging him close and kissing his cheek.

Yes, she is teasing him, in a most evil way. Because it was so cute to see him say 'nya'.

Eiji blushes bright red, but can't resist a grin.

Fuji chuckles a little, and Tezuka only raises an eyebrow. But Ōishi looks rather shocked.

"Well, we could, um... Uh... well, where would you like to go, Eiji?" he stutters out.

"Oh, I dunno," Eiji replies. "Um, anything sound good to you, Jordan?"

"I am not fussy." Jordan shrugs. "If you guys are not tired of my face yet, maybe I can head to my hotel and drop my swag, then meet you somewhere."

"That sounds good," Ōishi tells her. "We're probably just heading back to Shinjuku."

"Oh, but won't you need help carrying this stuff?" Eiji chimes in.

Jordan ponders a bit... "Okay, you can help me, Eiji-chan." She winks to him.

"And then we can go meet the others in Shinjuku!" Hopefully it sounds like a good plan.
