A/N: 3 whole years...If my first set of viewers won't forgive me then I understand completely. I'm not as much as a writer as I am an artist...and a slacker. I've recently did a lot of research on how this story is going to progress and I'm happy with the results. Hopefully there won't be any problems I cant deal with.

So, as the new summary states. This occurs during the first time-skip/ Love Hina Again. Chapter 76 will be ignored or altered until further notice to further bond Miyaki Tenzo & Aoyama Motoko.
Now let's start over, yeah?

"Hinata-Sou has been reborn as Hinata Inn!" numerous women shouted as they strolled the crowded streets of Hinata City. Doing their best to promote the Inn's newly renovated housing.

"An exciting opening ceremony will be coming to you soon!" the lead of the march, Naru Narusegawa spoke in a lovely floral designed kimono, her hair tied neatly into pigtails and merrily tapping the miniature round drums that were strapped across her shoulder.

Along her right side was her close friend, Konno Mitsune, dressed as a witch with a rather tall pointed hat with flowers decorating the rim to the tip of it and back down again in an ' X ' fashion. Slowly striking a large drum as they moved along at a steady pace.
To Naru's left were Maehara Shinobu and Aoyama Motoko. Shinobu was dressed as a bee and giving out flyers to any citizen that would require one. Motoko was slightly behind her in a rather amusing old European costume (You know...the one with the short pants and suspenders. If anyone can give me the name I'd appreciate it if it has one.) with twin braided pigtails and blowing on a tuba. She was obviously not enjoying this at all.
Kaolla Su was dressed as a jester and was happily prancing around! Differentiating herself from Shinobu's polite manner and tossing flyers everywhere, a cheeky smile plastered on her face the entire time. And Sarah McDougal was standing very tall behind Naru, on stilts of course. She was dressed in a similar fashion to Mitsune and adorned a witch hat that was more easily identified at first glance. She wore a over-fitting coat over her blouse and was just as happy as Su.

This is what they were all reduced to if they wanted to continue their stay at Hinata Inn, which was now under the watch of Keitaro's sister, Urashima Kanako.

"Look Mommy! A Witch!" A little girl said as she pointed at Mitsune with a happy smile.

"What Witch!" Mistune shouted back in surprise. Taking the little girls statement to heart. " This is stupid. Flyers for everyone!"

" HINATA INN, COMING BACK ONCE AGAIN!" Su tossed out more flyers as she bounced ahead of the group.

" Reborn huh? " a tall brown skinned man read from the flyer that was handed out. He was currently wearing a green cotton collared shirt,washed-out black jeans and white sneakers. His shoulder length black hair was currently held into a ponytail and any way to gaze into his eyes were blocked by a white hat. A rather large duffel bag was strapped over his left shoulder and a suitcase was to his right.
He watched the girls strum down further down the streets and thought about following them to his destination.

" Hmmm, I don't think they'll be heading back so soon..." he looked at the flyer again and saw that the Inn's cafe was open around this time and welcomed visitors or those just passing by.

" I'll rest there for a bit. The flight here wasn't exactly the smoothest" a popping sound from his neck reminded him. " The walk here to there will be about 20 minutes...better get a move on" he said as he locked in the stroller handle of the suit case and picked it up.

"Thank you for choosing The Hinata Cafe! We hope to see you again!" Mutsumi waved to the leaving customers. The Cafe was having a rather relaxed day, customers appearing and talking amongst themselves and required little service from the workers.

Haruka sighed out a cloud of smoke from behind the cash register. " I suppose I can handle anymore customers from here Mutsumi. How about you take a break?"

" Thank you Haruka-san. I'll go for a small walk around the inn. My legs are starting to get pins and needles." Mutsumi moaned as she removed her apron and walked towards the exit. Just as she turned the corner she had bumped into a taller man and fell back, only to be caught.

"Ah! Sorry about that. I'm not fully aware of whats going on around me." Mutsumi smiled shyly at the man. "No need to apologize ma'am, I'm off my game as well. I'm rather tired so I came here to rest."

"Then enjoy your time here sir" Mutsumi said and she bowed slightly and walked away on her break. The man smiled and made his way inside. "Can I help you young man?" Haruka had her eye on him since he had talked to Mutsumi. The man smiled under his hat, and without being able to look into his eyes Haruka's hand made it's way towards the Beretta she had clipped under the table. " Let's hope I'm wrong today..."

"You can actually. The place on the hill was originally the Hinata-Sou right? So you must be Urashima Haruka-san" he removed his duffle bag from his shoulders and began to dig through it for something. " I have some letters for you guys from Hina-obaasan! She gave e'm to me before I left. She said to make sure they arrived in their respective recipients hands."

" Damn, there's goes today's action"

"What?"

"N-Nothing" Haruka said as she lit another cigarette. He removed his hat and wiped his forehead with his forearm. " Okay, here it is: To Haru-chan." he said as he got up and walked towards Haruka to give her the letter. Haruka managed to get a good look at his face now...and it wasn't exactly as she expected.
The kid had some bags the size of potatoes under his yellow eyes and had a gloomy aura around him.

When was the last time this guy got some shut eye?

"Thanks. How about you go sit down at a table and I get you some tea. You look like you need it."

"Thank you very much. I'd appreciate it!" he smiled as he walked back to his luggage and dragged it along to a table closest to the wall and sat with his back against it.

" So what are you doing here..." Haruka stretched out the last word in order for him to fill out the blanks but she never got an answer. She turned around to see the young man sleeping against the wall. At first glance you'd think he was just there thinking deeply about something, but the drool made it easily evident. Haruka chuckled slightly and outed her cigarette onto a nearby ashtray and picked up the letter her adoptive mother had sent her.

" Maybe this can explain Kanako's appearance." She opened the letter in hopes of hearing some news to get the girl further away from here.

" Hello Haru-chan! How have you been these days? I'm doing quite well here in the USA. I managed to run into Seta and Keitaro-chan as well. The sleeping young man before you is Miyaki Tenzo. I have known his family for quite sometime now and it has been a wonderful experience to see his mother again.
Ten-kun is a free-lance artist that has wanted to visit his father's homeland. So I gave him this chance!
No doubt Kanako-chan has made changes to Hinata-Sou, so getting him in will surely be easier.".

"Eh? Why would you want this boy here?"

" He has reminded me a lot of Motoko-chan. Speaking of her how is she? Has she finally started liking boys yet? Ohohoh I really hope so. It's about time she starts getting out of that shell! Be sure that these two come into contact with one another. I have an odd feeling that they'll become the BEST of friends!"

In Haruka's mind that statement ended with Hina giggling like a school girl.

"...You're playing matchmaker again aren't you..."

" Please take care of Ten-kun for me. If anything problematic occurs he has more than enough funds to vacate to another location or repair Hinata-Sou. I'll see you all soon Haru-chan! Sayonara ~ Hina-obaachan.

PS. Keitaro-chan should be arriving within a week! Seems like he's picked up Seta's driving skills..."

Haruka put down the letter and massaged her temples. This was going to be a pain in the ass. She can already tell. She looked at Tenzo, who really had no plan of waking up anytime soon. " It's better you rest up, you're gonna be put through hell in order to be given a chance to stay here."

5 Hours Later...

Kanako had managed to make all of the tenants except Naru flee the Hinata Inn. Shinobu had been over loaded with tasks and in the confusion ended up fusing laundry with her dishes! Kitsune took flight when Kanako had interfered with her gambling...and Kanako's choice of horse won. Motoko had complained about being completely decked out in Samurai armor and demanded a fight to reclaim the Hinata Inn and return it to an all girls dormitory but the weight of the armor nearly made her drown. When her armor was removed...let's just say that Motoko was running with what few articles of clothing she had left.
By far Su and Sarah were harmed the most. Emotionally that is. Su's banana bunches were thrown into a fierce flame along with Sarah's artifacts that her dad had given to her!

And here was Naru, cleaning the windows with the ' help ' of a bungee cord.

" Now I know how Keitaro felt "

" Please continue smiling..." Kanako called from the other side of the window as Naru plastered on one of the most happiest smiles she could in such a situation onto her face. Naru couldn't really believe that this mean girl was Keitaro's sister!

"Err, since you're Keitaro's sister, can I ask you something?" Naru said slightly nervous,

"...Yes?"

"What was Keitaro like when he was young?" a sudden spring in her voice was noticed by Kanako as she stared at Naru.

"Please refrain from using my brother's first name. It's discourteous..." she turned her back to Naru.

" WHY YOU ARROGANT LITTLE B-" the doorbell interfered with Naru's train of thought as Kanako faced her again.

"Smile..." Naru turned around quickly and bowed towards the customer.

"We-Welcome to the Hinata Inn!" Tenzo looked up to see where the voice came from and waved. "Hey there! I'm here with a message for the manager of the inn from Urashima Hina."

"I am the manager" Kanako said as she seemingly teleported beside Tenzo.

"I'm done with the windows" Naru shouted as she shut the window, unknowingly getting a part of her gown caught within in and loss her footing. She barreled down the rest of the bungee cord and lost most of her outfit, save the apron. Now she was all tied up " No! I'm stuck!"

"Remember your smile, Narusegawa-san." Kanako looked at Naru without a care. " Now about that message...Eh?" They boy was gone, but his bags were still here.

"That was quite dangerous Miss." Tenzo landed with Naru wrapped into her maid's robe. Naru stared at the young man in shock.

" He obscured his vision the entire time? I can't belive that..." Naru blushed slightly as she stood up on her own feet and thanked the man.

" Do you wish to make anymore adjustments to your presence before I remove my hat?"

"Ah! Thank you!" she shouted as she hurried off inside. Kanako eyed the man suspiciously, she didn't notice when he disappeared. " Obaasan really did send you..." she thought as Tenzo removed the tightened hat from his head and let out a breath of relief.

"That started to hurt really..."

"...I believe we have business to discuss, sir. Please follow me."

" I know you're already terrorizing the current resident of what used to be the Hinata-Sou. But knowing my grand-daughter I'm sure you're doing it in the most efficient and meaningful way as possible.

Hopefully the renovations have been fruitful and everything is running smoothly. I want you to add this young man as a resident to the Hinata-Sou ( or whatever you've done to it in Keitaro's absence). I am sure he will do whatever it takes to keep himself out of trouble with the other girls. His abilities are splendid and he can be put to any kind of job.

Enjoy your time as manager Kana-chan. I'll see you all later!
Love, Hina-obaachan.

PS. Have him placed in Room 303 as a security measure. I'm sure Motoko will have no problem dealing with him swiftly if a problem were to arise ~ ."

" …..Grandmother, what are you up to..." thought Kanako as she read over the more important part of the letter. Kanako had to obey her grandmother. It would be traitorous not to after she accepted her into the Urashima family so kindheartedly. She would not judge her grandmothers decision.

"So Urashima-san, may I take my leave? I was told to wait until you had finished reading the letter before I moved along.

"...You will stay in room 303 on the third floor. You are free to do as you wish until I sort out a proper work schedule for you." Kanako stated as she stood up and walked to the door.

"...Wait...what? Hina-obaachan wants me to stay here?"

"Yes, and under my watch as manager. In order to stay you must work or pay the rent. I will speak to you soon." and with that she left in search of Naru.

"...I am so confused...but am very thankful." Tenzo smiled as he collected his baggage. Now all he had to do was deliver one more letter, and that was to Urashima Keitaro. He wouldn't be here for awhile. Tenzo's main priority now was to get to his room, unpack and hit the sack. Five hours of sleep doesn't do a tired body good. He wanted to drop asleep right after he had got that girl, Narusegawa out of her predicament.

" Why would you let somebody use a bungee cord to clean windows though? It's not like these styles of roof tiles aren't easily climbable...I hope I get to clean the windows sometime" he smiled to himself and he found his room and quickly laid down his futon.

Miyaki Tenzo was an artist alright. Martial Artist, Escape Artist and your average stiller of life and fountain of imagination. Tomorrow may be a good day indeed...

E/N: That's it for now guys. Hope you liked the new beginning of what used to be Forbidden Desires.
You may comment if you like, but I'm honestly not expecting any seeing as I nearly abandoned this idea. But it just kept nagging me and nagging me, it was something I always wanted to do, but believed I never had to skill to do it. Anyway, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Joyful Kwanza (Don't really know, sorry if I misspell XP) to all of you who celebrate either tradition!
Have a wonderful day/night.

Sayonara!
