The Chronicles of Kid-Keitaro
Chapter 0 - Preface
Before we start with the story there is some things that I want to state before hand.
First of all; most of the chapters will take place before the first epilogue of the final chapter of Kid Keitaro. Some of the later chapters will take place after the first epilogue and a few after the second but so far my ideas run from when Keitaro is 8 years old to about 15 or 16. If a significant amount of time has passed (i.e. more than a year) then I will state the ages at the start of each chapter.
Secondly; Most of the chapters will take place after each other since I've got a lot of ideas and have got them more or less in a chronological order but if an idea occurs to me and is out of the time line I'll say what chapter it takes place before and/or after at the start of the chapter and also at the timeline below.
Thirdly; there may be times when one of the Hinata girls does not appear in a chapter and that's simply because I couldn't figure out a way to include them. If they don't appear assume that Mutsumi is back in Okinawa, Shinobu is visiting one of her parents, Motoko is back in Kyoto, Su is in MolMol, Naru is visiting her parents and Kitsune is out/staying with a friend unless stated otherwise. Likewise there will be times when a chapter spans over several days without anyone going to work or school so just assume that in the Kid-Keitaro universe there is a lot of public holidays.
Fourthly; there will be some crossover elements in this fic, mainly Hayate no Gotoku (Hayate the Combat Butler) and the manga Onidere in later chapters (When Keitaro's about 15). From Hayate I'll just be borrowing characters and their personalities from the series (As well as from others since I'm too lazy/not creative enough/can't be bothered to create OC's) and it's unlikely I'll be using any scenarios from it but with the Onidere chapters there will likely be spoilers and possibly some stuff you won't understand unless you've read the manga so I'm just giving you fair warning.
Fifthly; There may be a one or two alternate universe chapters included (The same characters and events i.e. Kid-Kei and the orphanage, but with key differences).
Finally; unlike in the previous two Kid-Keitaro fics (Ghost of Hinata and Kid-Keitaro) there is no overall plot. Where as in GoH it was about trying to help Keitaro's spirit pass over and in KK it was about Keitaro adapting to new people in a new place as he and his sister recovered from a traumatic experience this fic is more a series of scenarios about Keitaro and everyone else's lives as he grows up that I thought up but couldn't think of a way to include in the original KK fic.
