"A knocking, wrapping at my chamber door." Rikimaru thought to himself as he heard knocking on the other side of his bedroom door. "I guess everyone up and moving now." Rikimaru finished his thought. 

"Its open, come on in." Rikimaru shouted as he place his father's acoustic in the ground. He had nicer and better playing guitars than this one was by far his favorite. It was old and beat up, scratches everywhere but to Rikimaru, that's what made it sound so good.

As he sat his guitar down he picked up his mask and put it on. This one was modeled after [url=https://img1.etsystatic.com/002/0/7102797/il_570xN.397340967_s59e.jpg] Subzero[/url]. He never really got the cosplay fascination but he was grateful for it.

He was in the process of tying the mask on when by the door opened revealing Hus aunt and uncle. They as uncomfortable as he was. Still he was the guest here so he felt the need to try and put them at easy.  "Please, please cone in." Rikimaru said trying to usher them to his bed where they could sit.

As they sat on the bed Rikimaru took a seat in a chair  that sat at his table."Uhh... Rikimaru kun, you've been for a couple of days now and you haven't left your room. We are concerned." His aunt spoken with a worried time, unsure of how proceed.

"Awwww no!" Rikimaru thought to himself. "There gonna ask me to go out some out where." He said in his head... He was right too.

"It's Golden Week here and it could be a great time for you to meet people your own age." She was careful if every word unsure if how he would take it. They weren't his parents and they never had kids. This as new to them as it was Rikimaru.

"We'd like you to go out an see the town. Maybe try to make some friends? We got you a ticket to the amusement park and some money." She was again nervous by what his response night be.

The uncle was just as bad. They seemed to want to do we just unsure of how to deal with Rikimaru.

Rikimaru didn't want to go at all, but looking at these people who seemed to care, he couldn't say no.

He smiled behind his mask before speaking. He did his best to put then at easy. What smiling behind a mask would help he didn't know but it made him feel better.

"I'll head out this afternoon and have a look around town, I promise. I'll work out, get cleaned up and help you in the shop and then I'll head out, promise." Rikimaru stood up and bowed, reiterating his promise.

There was massive relief on their faces. This might be easier than they thought it would be, having Rikimaru around.

True to his word he finished working out, got cleaned up and was helping I'm the ramen shop. The only addendum, [url=http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjA0WDYwNA==/z/prEAAMXQVT9TEAOO/$_1.JPG]  was a different mask[/url] There had to be trust built up and to do that he had to stay true to his word. It was if truth be told a ploy to be able to get a way with more later on. It would also help his standing with his new found family. They seemed to care so what was the harm in it? 

As time passed Rikimaru only spoke to ask what was needed to do next. His aunt and uncle were too happy to have the help. Even going as far as to offer an additional reward on top of the promised money. After thanking them, he was off as promised with one of his acoustic guitar. Only telling them that he wouldn't be out late.

It took him a while and if he was smart he would have ask for direction but he found the mall, it wasn't the amusement park but the day was young. Hopefully today was gonna be a good day.
