On Monday I brought my two phones to school in hopes to find out if there was perhaps a slim chance of my random Christmas party idea having a possible feat to manifest. Chilling in a Japanese inn with friends, one that has access to hot springs that are surrounded by serene views was a dream come true.

However, considering Christmas was coming soon could I really find an empty inn that no one else has booked? I wouldn't want to ruin someone's plans for a peaceful Christmas time just because of the rowdy crowd I planned to drag along with me.

So during each break, any minute I could possibly spare I kept on phoning different establishments that I found on the internet to see if they had space for our group.

I even kept performing my task during the lunch break, while munching on my food, prompting Kisaki to finally question what I was up to.

"So what is this all about, you even turned down eating with the twins and Senju for this. Why are you planning on booking a whole ass Ryokan?" He questioned, totally lost about what could conceivably the reason be. I chewed and swallowed the piece of food I had in my mouth before I expressed.

"Trying to make some arrangements for Christmas."

"But why Ryokan, wouldn't it be simpler to just hire out a hall for a party if that's your intention?" I shook my head, I wanted something more grant, something more memorable.

"I want to relax somewhere away from the city, so my plan is to book the whole place, with food and other accommodations, like I need something that does have hot springs." I smiled while explaining my plan to Kisaki.

"That sounds like some impossible task you set out for yourself." He admitted, but what he wasn't aware of was that I had immense luck at my side, I assumed it all just depended on how much time I was willing to dedicate to this task.

Then something hit me, this guy was smart, perhaps he could come up with a method to find a Ryokan that at this time didn't have a dedicated site present on the internet.

"How about you help me then?" There must have been a method I missed because I was so used to the convenience of accessibility from the internet.

"I will not set up a party that I will not be attending myself." Such a pessimist, this guy.

"So you're planning on turning down my invitation? I mean you can... there be always someone else that can take your spot, but I still hope you can make it." He seemed to have doubted my words, so he let out.

"Wait... you will?"

"Yes, gotta have someone to annoy with my endless amount of Christmas songs, I also require another partner in crime that will not shy away from pranking people by putting the mistletoe over their heads when they least expect it and forcing them to kiss." Kisaki looked troubled for a second, was it something I said?

"I hope you do realize that if you proceed with this scheme, others will do it too... for example Izana and his friends, your plan will certainly backfire on you." I gasped, I guess I didn't think about the consequences of my actions, in eagerness to prank other individuals.

"Thanks, I dodged a whole nuke right there, I guess I will ask the inn staff to set up only one then." Considering Christmas in Japan was more like a couple's celebration, no one would probably mind, especially the couples. However, it would be certainly funny to see if someone would take a chance to run to my side, to receive one single kiss, even more so if two guys fought for it and I tricked them to make them stand under it as a duet. I smirked just at the thought alone.

"Anyway, as I said I will invite you, I could even add the giraffe and Choji so you will have someone to chat with, does this please the sir?" Kisaki seemed taken aback by my offer.

"But then you will need to worry about Hanma approaching you." He pointed it out, but I denied the fact.

"With Izana by my side? Not likely." I would stick to the strongest link, to shoosh away any other unwanted attention from others.

"Hah." Was the single sound he made in the response to my bold statement.

Therefore after school, we headed to my house together, Kisaki brought with him a phone book just for the occasion. Of course, when Kazutora spotted us together he wasn't happy.

"What's the meaning of this Michi? Why did you invite him over after all he did?" It seemed that my older brother wasn't over my breakup.

"Um... free workforce?" Let's just say Kisaki wasn't too pleased about my response, maybe he didn't see himself as someone to be working under others, who knew.

"Forget about me leaving you two alone, behind closed doors!" So even more employees to take advantage of, perfect.

"Then bring your phone, and you will join us in the party planning!" Kazutora seemed confused but he did what I asked him of meanwhile, I gave Jun a call, the more the merrier.

So we began our search, Kisaki was equipped with his book, searching for telephone numbers we could try our luck at. As I was dispatched to search numbers on the internet. When Jun arrived we took a short break, briefing our new ally on the matters at hand.

"Hell yes! This is a perfect opportunity to see everyone's abs without acting creepy!" Someone was even more excited about the trip.

"I bet you will start a game of comparing the size of dicks with others at the hot springs." Guys will be guys.

"That's even better!" I just laughed finding his eagerness cute, but Kazutora didn't seem to have agreed.

"Stop giving him ideas Michi!" Since the two others complained, I decided to take this joke a step further.

"So Jun you better give me a detailed report after the fact." My bestie nodded his head.

"It can be fixed no problem, since you're paying for the whole trip, I ought to do something to show my gratitude." We shook our hands as if we just concluded an important business deal.

"If you two keep it up, Jun will be forbidden to enter the male baths." Was Kazutoras solution.

"Jun you got blessings from big bro to enter the female baths, when it's only the two of us there... how about a wrestling competition?" The two other males seemed terrified at the thought, still not aware of Jun's sexuality.

"Sounds fun, but be gentle with me." Chaos, this guy wanted to create more of it, it seemed.

"The hell?" Kazutora yelled holding Jun's collar and looking at him in a threatening way, so I had to diffuse the situation in a clever way to not expose Jun's secret in case he didn't want it shared with anybody.

Once the situation calmed down we went back to putting in calls, but finally, after one hour of our efforts, I heard this.

"Yes, there are no people as of now that had made any reservation for Christmas Eve and Christmas day, neither the day after." Has a lucky star finally smiled upon me?

"Great, are there any hot springs nearby?"

"Our Ryokan is equipped with one."

"How many people can your building hold maximum?" Was my next question.

"Around 50 people." This was like winning the jackpot. After confirming the price, and negotiating some kind of discount, I didn't hesitate to place a booking.

"It's done!" I cheered as we all celebrated our achievements.

"Now all I need to do is secure a bus to get us all there." This solution seemed less expensive and more manageable, since if I truly invited all 50 people there was no way of telling if we could organize to acquire that many train tickets.

"Now invitations." I already had some names in mind, but was also pondering whatever to ask the adults and also the current Black Dragons to make their appearance, could they possibly behave in such a setting?

"Well if a fight takes place, I can always diffuse it by using Mikey or Izana."

"Are you planning on using them as your bodyguards?" Kisaki asked because it sure seemed that way.

"Well if it works, why not? I can pay Mikey in Taiyaki currency." Kazutora started laughing, since it was me, he truly believed it could work.

"Izana will probably want to be paid in hugs tho." I reached for a pen and paper reconstructing the words for my exceptional invitation.

"Fate has smiled upon you child, for the Christmas celebration, your mortal body is invited to my grand party, try to say no and my heavenly wrath will be unleashed upon your soul. Signed your dearest Michi." Jun read as the other two seemed to be disapproving of my methods.

"If you send this out, they will assume it's just a joke." I pouted but decided to write something normal on the real deal, like the meet-up place and time, as well as how many days this trip would have taken. Unexpectedly a mission popped up.

'Would you rather decide the guest list thru a lottery, by adding every single Toman member to the poll, or make two lotteries of where people would sit during the ride there?' I preferably had most of my friend present, then deal with people that would disregard my command. And of course, in case someone had a very difficult car sickness situation we would move them to the front. But I didn't think anyone would deal with such a problem besides me.

"I say we chose the bus seats thru a lottery, what do you guys say?" I asked.

"I mean you're paying, if you want a more quiet ride, then that's a way to go," Jun admitted and I sure could see his point. If I let everyone decide their seats it could be equivalent to a loud school trip.

"Yes you're right, let's roll with it." I thanked my assistants for their support, without their help it may have as well taken two more hours to find a suitable location.

"This Christmas will be awesome!" At least that's what I wanted to believe. Next, we found a designated driver that would want to pick our group from Tokyo and drive us to our inn of choice. It took less effort for sure.
