Chapter 4: In Japan

After two hours pacing back and forth in the waiting room a doctor had finally come to see her.

"Um, Excuse me did you come in with that man earlier?" the doctor asked.

"Yes, Why? Is he dead or something?" the girl asked nervously.

"Oh, No no he's fine but we have no idea who he is, he says that he's Nobunaga Oda but, ha ha, that's not possible because he died over five hundred years ago. Anyway He's awake you can go in there and see him." said the doctor walking away giggling.

"Well that's no way to treat a patient who was dieing" she said wile walking behind the doctor to Nobunaga's room. When they walked in Nobunaga was sitting up with the remote to the television in his hand.

"Hum, Ah my savior I need to thank you for finding me and getting me out of that mess, I am in your debt for saving me." said Nobunaga wile putting the remote on the table and trying to get up.

"Oh no you can't get up yet your not fully healed that was a nasty wound you had there, we were surprised you weren't paralyzed." said the doctor running up to stop Nobunaga before he could get up.

"I've had worse and you don't need to worry, I heal fast." said Nobunaga standing up strait, "Now back to you, What's your name you know mine but I don't know what yours is."

"Oh, Well my name is Shiko Kemin and I don't think you want to be in my debt because, well I'm a girl." she said wile trying not to laugh.

"Oh, Well I'm in your debt all the same. Um do you know what year it is? And where we are?" said Nobunaga.

"Oh Well Its the year 2009 and Were in Tokyo, Japan. Does that help?"

"Oh yes very much. I need to know how to get back to my own time can you help?"

"Maybe, but when did you come from?"

"Oh I come from the year 1502 and I had a 'traveling companion' have you seen him he'd have brown hair and dressed in a dorky samurai outfit." said Nobunaga while making quote marks around Traveling companion.

"No I can't say I have but we can look for him, but first I want you to come to my apartment and have a rest and be ready for tomorrow because it's going to be a long day." she said while sighing.

"Well first I need my clothes back, Oh doctor can you get them and my sword." he said.

"Um, We had to confiscate your sword and put it in a safe until such time as necessary to retrieve it."said the doctor earning a piercing glare from Nobunaga "But if you like I can get it along with your other belongings."he said quickly while hurrying out of the room.

While Shiko and Nobunaga waited they discussed there plans on how Nobunaga was going to get back.

"Do you know how you got here?" said Shiko.

"No not really all I remember is a portal opening up behind us and Mitsuhide hitting me in the back and us falling threw." he said.

"Oh well we'll just have to figure out what was going on at that time." she said.

About that time the doctor and his medical staff came in with Nobunaga's clothes and sword.

"O.K. It took me all my authority to get this back so you'd better be thankful." said the doctor as he handed Nobunaga his sword.

"Thank you, do you have a room or something so I can put this on?" Nobunaga asked simi-politely.

"Yes just pull back that curtain and dress behind that." sighed the doctor. "Um, are you sure you want to do this." he said to Shiko.

"Yes I'm very sure that I want to do this, don't worry he's not crazy or anything else."she said.

"OK if you say so, lets go guys." he said to his staff and they left.

A few minuets later Nobunaga came out and said "Where did our friends go?"

"Oh they left are you ready to go?" she said.

"Yeah Um where do you live?" he said.

"Oh he he on the other side of town I guess we'd best get walking if we want to get there by nightfall."she commented starting to walk out the door.

"What you don't have some sort of future invention that allows you to get to your apartment in five seconds." said Nobunaga jokingly while following her out the door.

"No not yet, ha ha"she giggled"and you don't drive in tokyo it's a mess." she said.

"Oh that's why were walking" he said.

"Yep, I guess you have a lot to learn."she said.

"Yea and it looks like I'll have a lot of time to learn it in."

So they walk on to Shiko's apartment not knowing whats happening on the other side of town.

Meanwhile....

Mitsuhide walked into the large building and up to the register.

"Um, I'd like to change this gold into yen or what ever the current currency is." he said to the teller handing her the gold.

"Well first I need to see some Identification or we can write you some travelers checks and you can use them practically anywhere."she said

"OK do that then, I guess."he said. While he was waiting someone walked up behind him so he asked them. "Where are some good apartments for rent?"

The person behind him looked startled he said "Um I don't know um there's some up on the hill that are pretty good and I wouldn't advise you to rent any in town, and If your getting travelers checks they won't do you much good in renting or purchasing real estate."he said.

"OK, um can you delay the request for those checks and make them into yen?"asked Mitsuhide.

"Yes I can and I don't need to see any ID cause it really don't need it"the teller said counting out yen bills for him.

"Thanks, and thank you for telling me that the checks were virtually worthless." said Mitsuhide.

"Your welcome, wait for me outside and I'll introduce you to my land lord."said the stranger.
