Ivy chuckled at Ryan's attempts at suavity. "Sure guy, come on in. The water's fine." She tread water, waiting for Ryan to jump in. The kid was young, there was no question there. But he was also just that - a kid. And sometimes children simply needed to be taught before they could play with the adults. She wasn't concerned with having any sort of flings on this trip, but Ryan was nice looking and certainly complimentary. She could deal with some good, old fashioned ego boosting right now. So she'd spend time with him so none of the other girls had to deal with his inane sexual advances - at least for a while.

Jennifer screamed when he punched the wall, "What the fuck!?" she shouted at him reaching for the door handle, "Look I'll ask someone else it's fine!" she panicked really scared for her saftey, she quickly opened the door before he could respond, she almost threw herself out of the door as she ran down the corridor to the stairs. 'He's not right in the fucking head.' she declared in her mind as she stopped on the second floor thinking about where everyone was, honestly she had no idea where they were so she changed her mid and went back to her room to get her swimming costume on.

Damn, keeping his composure was going to be near impossible if he kept thinking that this house was going to prevent him from seeing his sisters again. Slightly listened for Jenni to leave after freaking out making it possible to think clearly again. "An injury like this... They would have to send me to the hospital, I guess we'll find out how paranoid I actually am." Yuhi finally extracted his hand away from the wall, his passion had been quite high so the damage was also quite severe. When finally seeing it that's when the adrenaline was washed aside and gave way to nerves finally making their protest to his action."... Urgh... This hurts a lot more than I thought it would..." Uses the slack of his button up over shirt sleeve to wrap up his hand as a temporary bandage. Yuhi then retrieved up his rooms phone calling down to the main desk. " This is Yuhi, my hands taken a pretty serious injury. It definitely needs medical attention..." Ok now in a normal vacation Yuhi would assume it wouldn't be 5 minutes till someone came to take a look, but if they had to make a strategy about how to deal with the situation without taking Yuhi to a hospital... it would take longer. Time to see this places true colors.

Ryan winked at Ivy, throwing off his shirt and shoes before diving into the pool in his shorts (something which he'd previously changed into when they'd been shown their rooms, before he left for the pool). He grinned as he came to Ivy and popped out of the water to face her.

"Finally, someone sees sense to talk to me." He grinned watching her. "So, what made you come on this then? Why'd you fill in your survey?" For the first time since he got here, Ryan asked a human question that wasn't controlled by the thing inside his shorts or his hormones. Though, he'd probably lead the questioning to his shorts at one point shortly, for now, he was asking something human.

Alberto had answered to Yuhi, strangely. It was like the butler knew that Yuhi was going to be calling and immediately was around the corner and in his room, by his side to examine the damage. It was as if the butler was on the phone next door, but he couldn't have been otherwise Yuhi would have heard, surely?

"I've called for Mrs Belarus and Mr Belarus to come down. Mrs Belarus is a good doctor and will get your hand patched up, right away sir." He stated. "We just need to keep it wrapped up until they arrive."

Soon enough, around a couple of minutes later, Mr and Mrs Belarus appeared. The sickly woman had a First Aid Kit in hand as well as a few other items, setting them out on the desk. "Come take a seat here, Yuhi. I'll take a look at that hand of yours." She smiled slightly, opening her bag. "Alberto, go down to the kitchens and get some ice please."

My Belarus stood by his side, watching his wife. He looked around the room and then at the boy. "How on earth did something like this happen?" He asked Yuhi.

First Aid kit ready, in under a minute?... Even with security cameras that shouldn't be possible. What the hell was going on, this was beyond crazy. Yuhi was staring at the kit with open horror, it wasn't a expression he could keep in. This teens skill was in combat, not acting. Though his investigative skills were completely a gassed right now. It just wasn't possible, the time needed. They had already decided everything before Yuhi made the call, it was the only explanation! They really were going to die, it was apparent as day and night now. Could they... possibly... be, reading his mind? No, that wasn't even possible it just wasn't. There were certain levels of paranoia that he was willing to accept, but when it left the realm of physical possibilities, that's when his mind faltered. There was no way to explain this, Yuhi had only hit the wall within the last 2 minutes. A small glance back at where he'd hit the wall, with still fresh wet blood was enough to confirm that much. Impossibilities were abound, like how did the owners get here so quickly in such a large mansion? They would have to coincidentally be in the same room, and coincidentally be near the bed rooms where their guests were being held... Psychic powers, inhuman speed... Vampires? No Edwardo had walked out in the middle of the sun light to show them the out door facilities. Just what the hell was going on...

Yuhi finally gathered his mind enough to get back into the situation. If they could read his mind, they knew full well that Yuhi was a threat... or maybe even him knowing this didn't make one once of a difference to them. Trying to keep a level head he'd make some casual conversation while watching all three of them intently, until Alberto disappeared. The teen was waiting for more clues as to what these two were capable of, he needed to make them feel less superior in a indirect way. If Yuhi could keep it subtle, they'd reveal more of their potential secrets. " Oh this? You read my survey didn't you? I'm a top notch fighter, never been defeated one on one. I accept every challenge made to me too, but your rooms a little bit smaller than my own so I misjudged the distance in my head. I always exorcises and shadow box a little before I go to sleep to keep in shape." That should be enough to rattle them, if Mrs. Belarus treated him rougher than he expected for those comments he'd be able to confirm it. Yuhi was setting a mental trap by trying to come off as a cocky kid, but once again his acting skills were not really amazing; hopefully the contents of his sentence was enough to make up for that.

Sitting on the side of the bed near Mrs. Belarus he'd let the care of his right hand come within her reach. Their reactions and words would be able to paint the picture a little more clear. This was a long shot, but elitist usually made common mistakes because they never really had to be worried about what they say. Watching someones words is a sign of fear and one thing a rich snob never wanted to come off as, is a coward.

Though, he'd probably lead the questioning to his shorts at one point shortly, for now, he was asking something human.

Ivy smiled as she leaned back and began swimming away from Ryan, still facing him. "I came here to get away for a while," she replied. "I had some pretty crappy stuff happen to me previously, and I just wanted to take some time for me. Now I can start a new life when I leave here. I'll have the chance to be a better person, and maybe learn to be happy again. Why'd you fill out the survey? To meet hot chicks?" She smirked, wondering what would bring someone so full of themselves to a place like this.

"That's ashame. Maybe I could brighten things up and make this a holiday to remember." He winked, smirking at the girl. Ryan also started swimming with her, to keep up and continue talking. "Of course. Every holiday has hot girls. Though when I filled it out I mentioned that the prize better have hot girls, just to make sure, you know? I mean, I didn't know it was a free holiday we were getting at that time."

Watching Ivy for a minute, the boy again stopped swimming, and grinned. "So, may I ask how old you are?" He questioned, strangely polite. Ryan might have been a jerk but he could be a polite one sometimes. Though, he had to admit that he was only doing it to get her attention now and find out more about her. Maybe he could have a fling that way.

The pale woman slowly took the boys hand and unwrapped it. "Oh wow... This does look nasty. You'll definitely have to be more careful. We have a gymnasium place on the floor below. I guess Edwardo didn't show you. You'll have to work there rather than your room. Much more space." She smiled. "You're hand is going to be bruised and painful for a little while though."

Alberto came backwith some ice in a teatowel and Mrs Belarus quickly sent the butler off to get a bowl of warm water and a damp cloth. The woman was very soft spoken and polite, very motherly towards the boy. Her touch was slightly cool and clammy to his skin as she delicately held his hand in hers, Mr Belarus watching near by.

Once Alberto came back with the cloth and bowl of warm water, Mrs Belarus started to tenderly tend to Yuhi's wound, damping it lightly to clear it up. Once it was clean, she looked to see if any stitches were needed. He'd driven his hand into the pretty badly and there were a couple of deep gashes on his hand.

"I'm going to stitch these up. It's a good thing I'm a trained doctor, right?" She smiled as she got a needle and held a flame under it, sterilizing it before threading it, preparing to stitch Yuhi's hand up.

Jennifer sighed as she began her decent to the pool, she wasn't sure why she had began heading to the pool, but she figured she'll get some peace and quiet there, 'What was he doing punching the wall like that?' she asked herself timidly in her head, she was still quite traumatized by Yuhi punching the wall, as she neared the pool she sighed as she saw Ryan chatting some other girl up, 'Don't even start' she thought to herself as if she could send messages through her mind to him, she put a false smile on and sat down at the edge of the pool ignoring the two.

Maybe he could have a fling that way.

Ivy grinned. "I'm 24," she replied. "You're... what, about 19, 20?" She smiled pleasantly at him. Regardless of whether he was behaving himself for some nefarious purpose or not, he was at this moment being quite polite, and easy to talk to. Plus, she knew she couldn't say or do anything to make him seriously dislike her. After all, no matter what she said, she still had boobs. And she was quite certain that was all Ryan cared about at this moment and time.

She leaned her head back, noticing the other woman sitting on the side of the pool. But she seemed to be blatantly ignoring Ivy and Ryan, so Ivy thought it best not to call out a hello to her. She rested with her head leaned back, feeling her shoulder-length red hair drift around her head in the water's slight current and for a moment, she felt more alive than she had in years.

"I'm 19..." He grinned. "Looks like I could kill two birds with one stone on this vacation..." The boy looked from Ivy to Jennifer and then back to Ivy. "Have a holiday fling and an older woman." The young boy winked.

He then looked at Jennifer and winked also, pushing his luck to the limit with the other girl. She'd exploded at him a few times already and it was only the first day. The boy couldn't comprehend that she didn't want anything to do with her though. "Or, I could kill three birds with one stone and add threesome to the list. What do ya say, Jen?" He smirked, giving her a playful wink as well as he waited for her reaction.

Was the boy ever going to learn? Probably not...

Nothing, not one damn flinch in their persona's or a opening to exploit. Mrs. Belarus seemed just like how a mother should, making suggestions to prevent future problems and caring in a maternal nature for his palm itself. One thing was dead on right though, despite the seriousness of the wound they weren't taking him to a hospital or calling a professional doctor here; not even so much as a personal family physician. This meant that Yuhi was on the right track, but something about him was broadcasting his intentions; this woman was reading his every move like a book. Even if she was some kind of mind reader, why wouldn't she flinch when Yuhi came up with the ideas in the first place. Or the abject hatred he felt toward this home right now. Was Ura and Kimiko going to have a older brother anymore by the time this vacation ended. It didn't seem likely and if Yuhi couldn't amass some kinda evidence to make it clear to everyone what was happening; they were going to be stripped from this world. But mind readers just didn't exist, this had to be something else. Maybe a shrink watching on a camera that could tell by Yuhi's physical flaws what his intentions were? If that were the case, they'd know he wasn't training in the least; he'd flat out punched the wall.

Which meant these two were the real actors, Mr. Belarus especially. He'd seemed absolutely astounded that Yuhi was able to break his hand open. In truth this wasn't the first time, Yuhi had a couple of fights were the fighters were almost pure muscle and the only way his blows had any effect is if he drive them in hard. A fighters body and a fighters spirit were two different things, Yuhi would like to believe he had a good balance of both. While watching the woman warm up the needle, Yuhi kind of let his mind indulge deeper streams of blatant falsehoods just to distract him from the pain that would be inflicted when that needle started to work its way around his flesh and sew it shut. Actually Yuhi had a high tolerance for pain on the outside; it was the inside of him that bruised easily. "Yeah, I think a gymnasium would be a better place." Yuhi was just kind of absent minded agreeing. If this woman could read minds, she was already involved in the real conversation.

The boy was worried, and thinking. That much was obvious. He was testing them. He knew something was up and wanted to know what. It was the first day of their supposed vacation an they already had one boy questioning their motives. He would never find out the true reasons as to why they were here, none of them would. Mr Belarus would make sure of that.

Looking sternly at the boy, he was glad that his wife suggested the gymnasium. "Yes boy, the Gym is definitely a better place for you to take your fighting to. I don't want this room destroyed by the time you depart. I've worked extremely hard to get this house back to the way it was." He stated.

The look he gave the boy was a serious one. He would have to have a word with Alberto later, make sure he kept a firm eye on the boy. After all, he didn't want his curiousity leading him astray and into finding out the secrets of this place. That wasn't going to happen. They were invited here to have a good time, and that's what they were going to do. Mr Belarus was going to make sure of it.

"I've heard a couple of the guests have gone to the pools. You might want to go there. After all, it's a lovely day." He told Yuhi. "How about it?"

"Back to the way it was.." Finally a slip of the tongue, something he use. The homes history, that would clear somethings up. But just like Jennifer, he had no access to the online world. If he openly ask for books into the homes history, it's make it too obvious that Yuhi was trying to dig into their motives. But Yuhi did want to make it clear he had a strong will and wasn't a puppet to this like everyone else, for that reason he'd voice no concern over any damage he might of done. This would make him come off as a arrogant teen, but they were being equally arrogant so a taste of their own medicine might do them some good." I don't play well with others, didn't you read my survey?" This of course was in clear reference to Yuhi's constant fights while growing up. It'd been 8 days since his last one, Yuhi had established a rival who he had to admit; there was a lot of respect between the two of them. Beating up that punk one more time and taking some solid hits in the process, he would of liked to of done that one more time too. Hiding the bruises from his sisters was never fun, but his younger one Kimiko had come to get used to Yuhi walking in looking like a he'd just tried to wrestle with a alley cat. Ura on the other hand remained clueless and ignorant, despite her older age on Kimiko. Maybe it was just something she didn't want to accept so her eyes refused to see it.

" I'll take you up on that gym offer, I might be able to find a decent sparring partner in our party." That and he needed to find out who the mole was, Jennifer was out. No mole would of left when someone with potential to be able to find their secrets had just gone into a passionate blitz. They would of tried to talk to Yuhi and find out what was wrong, a moles primary purpose was to gather information. That still left a lot of guests, but there was no more clear way to find out what a person was like, then to fight them in a friendly match.

Jennifer didn't hear Ryan as she found herself in her own little world, she was still quite shocked at Yuhi's outburst, he didn't seem like the kind of person who'd try and hit her for saying something she shouldn't of, she slowly came out of her trance in time to hear Ryan's comment about a threesome, she blinked and blushed forgetting about her engagement to Alex, her fiancee, "I..Well..." she mumbled still heavily blushing, "How old exactly are you? she questioned him not remembering if she asked him before or not.

Jennifer gave a sly look at Ivy before looking back at Ryan, "I'm up for anything as long as it's not strings attached!" she smiled casually, she wouldn't remember any of this after she clicked back into the real world.

Ivy chuckled. "Yeah. I'm totally not up for any of that," she replied casually. "I am, however, up for getting a shower before dinner. I'm gonna head back up to the mansion now," she continued, swimming over to the side of the pool. After one more dunk under to ensure that her hair lay smoothly against her head, she climbed out and began to towel off. "Nice talking with you," she said to Ryan. "I'll leave you guys to your... anything," she finished with a hand gesture to suggest that she was waving it off.

Ivy made her way back up to the house, heading to the bathroom. She needed to get a quick shower before she ate, or else she'd spend the entire time feeling itchy from the chlorine water.

Kati was suddenly startled out of her sleep by a loud sound of some sort from the room next to hers. She climbed out of the bed and stopped in front of the mirror, fixing her hair before walking out into the hallway just in time to see Mr. and Mrs. Belarus walk into her neighbour's room. Mrs. Belarus seemed to have a first aid kit of some kind in her hand. Kati stood where she was, watching and listening for a moment. One of the butlers walked out of the room and returned moments later with ice. Had someone injured themselves? She walked down the hallway and peered into the room to see Mrs. Belarus tending to Yuhi, who had clearly hurt his hand somehow. Glancing around the room, she noticed a fist-sized dent in one of the walls. Oh... so that was why I got woken up. she thought silently.

She listened as everyone talked. Mrs. Belarus made mention of the gym they had in the mansion. Man, this place really has everything. Kati kind of wanted to watch any fights that went on in the gym. She didn't like fighting, but watching fights always interested her. It's kind of cool to know what people's strengths and weaknesses are. Deciding she probably shouldn't be seen eavesdropping, she walked past the room and down the hallway. She headed down the stairs and walked into the library. She walked around, looking at the countless books on the shelves. She couldn't pick one to read; there were just too many.She finally decided to just pick a random one. So, she grabbed the first book her eyes fell upon, sat down on an armchair, and opened the book to start reading.

Nadia decided to head to the library. Libraries were her favorite places to go to and relax. It was one of the best places where she could relax. The books around her made her feel comfortable. She didn't know why but still loved it there. When she picked out a nice book and sat down to read it, she could relieve her stress and thus, it was one of the est places to go for her especially when work tends to get stressful. Nadia went to the library and saw a girl already there, sitting on an armchair reading a book. Nadia smiled at her then went to browse around. The library was huge and grand. It was the ideal place to find the book you wanted to read. Nadia walked around the library, looking at the shelves, occasionally reaching out, taking a book and reading it's abstract then putting it back on the shelf. She found a book that interests her and went to one of the armchairs. She sat down and started reading the book, absorbed into the world of the book.

"I'm 19." The boy winked at her, getting out the pool himself and heading over in Jennifer's direction. She was kinda cute, but he thought he'd play her along for a bit. Especially been as she'd screamed at him before. "Well, I guess I could go back to hitting two birds with one stone again." He grinned, "Though, not right away. I don't know if you're worth it."

With that last comment, Ryan grinned and started walking off, soaking wet still. He hadn't bothered to bring a towel with him as he hadn't planned on going into the pools in the first place. It was only because someone else was there, female at that, that he entered. Normally, under any circumstances, he would have taken Jennifer up to his room straight away (if that was her actually agreeing to it), but something had attracted him to Ivy. There was something about her that he liked. It didn't stop him trying to get Jennifer chasing after him though.

Walking inside, he looked around to see who was about and as he headed to his room, he saw Yuhi with a bandaged hand heading off. This got Ryan's curiousity going and so the young lad followed him, wondering where he was going. When they entered the gym, full of every sort of training equipment imaginable, Ryan grinned.

"Sweet... We could train a whole army in a place like this..." He told Yuhi.

Moles, a mole had the role of getting close and establishing contact. Their biggest weakest was how quickly they tried to make trust exist and how pushy they could be when that kind of trust did not surface. Yuhi wasn't amazing at reading people based on facial responses. But when they actually performed a action that's when his ability to conceive concepts started to fire on all cylinders.

After completing his little exchange with the runners of the household, Yuhi decided to actually head over to this gym area that had been the center of their topic. This is where they wanted him and where they knew he would be, the next person to enter the gym after could be assigned by them. For this reason they weren't going to get a fair shake from Yuhi already diminished ability to accept people. So irony would have it when he had arrived, the annoying loser that had drawn so much attention to himself and flirted with every girl in their group would be the one to make his grand appearance.

Taking a look from the equipment and back at Ryan himself, Yuhi started to contrast him with what was already known. Ryan had definitely been the one to demand attention, but not necessarily in a likable way. Still flirting with a lot of girls, if he could get one of them to like him and then get her to give information on the rest of the group she was communicating with. Ryan was suspect number one, there was no 2 ways about that. " If i'm right, you'd need a lot more than that."
