Chapter 1: How It Happened

It was a fine day... or so I thought.
At first, everything was perfect.
The sky was so clear, the birds were singing their songs, the Sakura trees nearby looks like it's going to blossom soon..
But most importantly, I had my beautiful (and violent) girlfriend, Naru by my side.
And we both were sitting on the roof of Hinata Lodge, holding hands and looking down at the beautiful scenery below us.
How perfect could life get for a loser like me? ^_^

Anyways, there was this point of time when I got the urge to kiss her.
So I put my arm around her and I tried moving closer to her..
My lips was like all puckered up and I was ready to move in for the kill.
BUT she turned around suddenly and she gave me this look that made me worried.
Her face not only looked troubled.....
She also had the EXACT same look as she did when I confessed my feelings to her a couple of years back.

Oh-oh. It's that look of uncertainty.
She is doubting something!!
So I did what a guy oughta do.
Panic silently.
"Keitaro?"
"....Y-yes...?"
"Do you know something?"
"....W...what?"
"For the past few days..I have been thinking."
Oh my gosh!! Don't tell me she wants a break-up?! "...About?"
"About us."
OH NO!!! Naru?! She really is gonna leave me?!!
I stood up, forcing a grin at Naru and I said " Naru? I just remembered something.."
"What?"
"I...I gotta go back to Todai to help Seta to research on some ancient artifacts we found on our last trip to Rome. So..see you later!!"
Before she could say anything else, I ran off.

For the next few days, it was sheer hell. She kept trying to get me alone.
Last time, I would not have minded that.
Now... it's a different story.
I don't want to know what she wants to say. I just wanted to avoid her.
I just felt like it.

Until one day, Naru was so fed up with me that she 'stole' one of Kaolla's inventions.. (which was one of those bomb thingie)
And used it on me.
Boy, was it effective. I was down in half a second flat.
"Keitaro, you idiot!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs while she gave me one of her kicks that always sends me flying across the room. "What is up with you?! Why do you keep avoiding me?!!"
Then I could only watch in horror as she marches across the room and..................... it hit me.
I just knew that this kind of thing would eventually happen.
It's inevitable. I know that I am not good enough for her.

I stood up. "Naru..." I watch as she pauses in front of me.
"I....I..." I took in a deep breath and I decided to say those words that made my heart bleed...for her.
"I think... we.... that.... us....." Gawd, don't look at me like that. Why do you always have to look so innocent.
Why do you always have to make my heart beat so fast for you?
I think.. it's best if I just get this done and over with.

"Naru. Let'sjustendthisrelationshipnow."

O_o "W...what? I didn't catch you." Once again she gave me that heartbreakingly innocent expression.
Something inside of me just snapped suddenly.
"Look Naru. I know I am not good enough for you!!"
"W...what are you..."
"Naru, let's just end this relationship!!"
".......?! W.....why..?!"
"Look, just the other day...when you wanted to talk to me 'about us'..I bet you had doubts about me. I bet you wanted a break up."

"WHAT?!! A BREAK UP?!" She yelled. "The other day I only wanted to talk about something else!!"
"I NEVER DOUBTED YOU, YOU MORON!!"
I bet I must have looked really surprised because she went on yelling.
"I only wanted to ask you W-H-E-N T-H-E H-E-L-L A-R-E Y-O-U G-O-N-N-A M-A-R-R-Y M-E, you doofus!!"
Author's Note: These words in capital letters and the dash thing were fatal to Keitaro's ears... and heart. ^_^'
I think I literally turned to stone when she said that.
After that, she slapped me so hard that I flew out of the room and into the hot springs where the others were bathing.
(No prizes for guessing how I ended up with all the bruises/knife wounds that never fails to show up the next day.)

The next morning.
Naru was gone.
