Hi. I don't owe The characters of Love Hina. They were never my idea. But it was Ken Akamatsu. But I have to add,one of the main character of the story is my character and how this story goes is base on what I write. Anyways...Please reviews are fine. But don't be crucial. And Yeah I'm not much of a writer...So yeah continuing with the story.
A beautiful scenery seen before him. He gaze at it for a long period of time. He took a deep breath before releasing it. He love this. A waterfall. Trees surrounding him. And very green grass.
He shivered as he just remembered what had happened yesterday while a cold wind pass by making his hair flow a bit.
'Tsuruko. Damn her. She's beautiful as I remember. Beautiful in more ways than one. He thought about her. He knows Tsuruko is married. But he isn't exactly in love with her.
He merely love her. Not in love with her. Admire for her strength and that brain able to manipulate and make others crazy.' He sighed after this thought.
"My God. I wouldn't mind being killed by her. Wouldn't mind at all." He said to himself and then he remembered someone else. "But...I must find her. I must persuade Tsuruko to tell me where she is."
With that, he sat down on the grass,sighed deeply. A frown appearing on his face. As if he remembered something horrible.
'Do I even have a chance for her forgiveness? I'm starting to doubt it. Though that Keitaro...She seems to have given herself to him...' He blinked at his thoughts and adulty images popped in. 'Ergh! No not that!'
He shook his head a little to get rid of some fautly images. Curse that he even have those kind of imagination. 'And I call myself innocent?' He thought to himself, amused.
He stood up. Taking off of his garment waist above and headed for the waterfall. Wanting to refresh himself before approaching a more deadly path.
As he reaches the water fall. The water wetting him fully. He sighed. He has been sighing as usual. He had gotten use to being depress over her.
He sat down on the rock as the water from the fall hits him full on. But he didn't feel it as heavy, It was relaxing. He almost doze off until he sense a presence.
He just remain his eyes close. 'Tsuruko? Must be her.' He concluded in his thought. He didn't want to move. He wanted her to come to him.
"Shin. Would you love for me to get wet?" Tsuruko voice called out. It was pleasant at least for him it sounded like it. But to others,probably a threat.
"No,I don't think your dear beloved honoured husband would want his beautiful wife to get wet in front of a half naked man who isn't getting up at all." He stated,simply.
He stood up. His hair was down now and dripping wet. Revealing his lean and muscular body. Eight packs and a revealing line that goes to...
He starts walking toward Tsuruko and stopped in front of his clothes,picked up his towel and tried drying himself off. He ignored Tsuruko's presence completely until he was all set.
'He is rather bold to do those things in front of me.' Tsuruko thought. Though her features were friendly yet deadly. She waited patiently.
"Now. What is the meaning of the sudden appearance?" Shin asked. Not hint of being scared of Tsuruko even though he doesn't have a weapon to save himself and she has a weapon to kill him.
"You want to persuade me to tell where she is." Tsuruko stated simply. She had heard him say it not too long ago. She smiled as Shin wore a shocked expression.
'Damn woman. No privacy at all.' He thought as he looked at Tsuruko from down to up. 'Kendo as usual. I wonder why the husband married her. She doesn't hold some sexual appeal in it or does she?.' He wasn't able to contain the laughter for his thought of Tsuruko not appearing to have some appeal seems stupid. Tsuruko looked at him,wondered why he was laughing.
"I'm sorry. I was amused of the thought of you being appealing with a kendo.When normal men wouldn't find it so. It would be a turn off. I wonder about your husbands thought." He explained. Noticing that she had a confused looked on her face for a second and went back to collected part. Though she smirked at his words deciding to shoot him back with a remark.
"So you find my younger sister Motoko appealing in a kendo? You must not be normal." She stated calmly with a smile. He frowned.
"Speaking of your sister where is she now?" He asked awaiting for her answer. He has been wondering for years now where the younger Aoyama disappeared too.
"Hinata Inn. Though I doubt she'll be please seeing you." With that said Tsuruko turned and left. In a blink or two she had disappeared. Shin didn't bother to ask why she won't be please.
He knew exactly why she won't be. He knew she would try to kill him. But surely having many years passed by would have made her forgotten what he had done wrong?
"Damn! I wonder if she have at least gotten attractive over the pass years? Hopefully she had. Because I won't let myself get killed by a woman who isn't beautiful. She must be beautiful." With that he left. Started with the journey to find Hinata Inn.
"Wait? Hinata Inn? What the hell!? Where is that? Damnation!" With the curse he set off. Trying to speak to people around he meets asking for Hinanata Inn. No one seem to know where it is. He frowned. No progress at all. Not that he minded. He would prefer to not go at all because meeting her would be surrending to death. But he kept going. Wanting to meet Motoko.
As days and possibly weeks and months. He had himself an encounter.
"Young Man. There is no Hinata Inn. Only A girls dormitory. Simply you wouldn't want to go there?" The old lady spoke who sat next to him while he was busily trying to devour the ramen before him.
"Ahh! NO! I mean Yes! Wait...Huh?" He finished his food first before giving his attention to the very old lady who didn't even look at him. But she was laughing at his reaction. He frowned. Frowns alot.
"Why are you trying to find Hinata Inn,young man?" The old lady inquired. From this Shin was already observing her. Potential that she knows. "Does your girlfriend go there? A relative perhaps?"
"No" He said without hesitating at all.'More like death is awaiting me there or death will be shock to see me' He thought. "More of I want to apologize to someone who happens to reside there."
"My. You have upsetted one of those violent women. What a predicament you are in young man." The lady has said simply now ordering for a sake. Shin wondered if she can die now maybe soon enough.
But he smiled. The old lady was the only source of information he got about the death place. And he didn't mind talking to her. Since all he got from others were glares and disapprove look.
"Yeah. I must be a fool for seeking her even though I know she'll kill me. But at least I can say before in my death bed that I had tried. Can't I?" Shin asked. He laughed so did the old lady.
"My name is Shin. And you are old lady?" His politeness sure wasn't at the highest point. He's merely honest to everyone he meets not even thinking to be honest at all. Though he realized that being rude would cause him only enemies and physical pain for him he quickly said. "I mean...not an old lady but umm...with age...but um...still strong,yes." He sighed. His attempt failed almost immediately. Old lady laughed.
"My. Such a truthful young man you are. You can call me, Grandma Hinata." She said looking at Shin now. Shin nodded at her answer until a moment of realization hit him.
"Hinata? Then...You must clearly own the Hinata Inn? May I inquire where I may find it?" Shin wore a happy expression finally he found an answer for his death prayers. Though he wasn't quite sure himself if he was to dance with joy and thanked the old lady or kill the old lady and pretend that this encounter never happened.
"Actually. My grandson owns it now. Keitaro Urashima. He doesn't look anything like you,for sure." Grandma Hinata was actually taking moments to capture Shin's face features. "Such a Handsome face."
"Keitaro Urashima? Why is...a man a landlord of..a place where only girls reside? Is he still alive?" Shin barely heard Grandma Hinata's compliment because he was too busy trying to find an explanation why a man
is the land lord. 'Surely he must be dead. Surely he didn't try anything with her? I'm sure she would have killed him if even... If she hadn't? Then I'll kill him,myself?' His thought were evil,maybe jealousy. He shook his head a bit trying to get rid of the evil energy within him.
"If he is are you going to kill him?" Asked Grandma Hinata. Shin quickly nodded at this question. A suprise look appeared on her but she was smiling. 'At least a quite innocent face is truthful' she thought.
"Ano...Motoko Aoyama...Ma'am... You know her? Is she and Urashima some how in relation?" He didn't like the way he sounded. He sounded like he is jealous when clearly he isn't.
"No. My Grandson is engaged to Narusegawa. His promised girl. Yes,I do know the kendo girl." Grandma Hinata, noticed jealous tone in Shin's words. 'I see an Admire of Motoko?' Shin smiled.
"That sound...Fantastic. Promised girl,eh? I bet it is everything but paradise." He stated simply thinking of his experience with the word promise and a girl with it. Grandma Hinata nodded.
They now hold conversation with each other. Took hours. Questions and Answers.
A week passed with Grandma Hinata and Shin encounter.
From the Hinata Inn or Dormitory.
Naru and Keitaro sitting down closely within each other on the roof top enjoying the scenery. They had been engaged and have been told that his promise girl is really Naru.
They sat there, thinking of the past. Didn't seem it would end like this. So peaceful.
"Keitaro,I love you"
"I love you too,Naru"
They shared those word openly. Not caring anymore who can hear or not hear them. They love each other. That's all it matters.
Keitaro wrapped his arm around Naru's waist and pulled her closer to him. They stayed there until two blondish girls came to attack.
"KEITARO!! We wanna play!" Su exclaimed in her cute voice.
Su and Sarah,quite grown up now are still lacking some maturity in mind. They are still playful. Both had kicked Keitaro head on. Keitaro was sent rolling down the roof and was about to fall off completely
until Naru took his hand and with some force it stopped him from falling. But is some pure idiocy or bad luck Keitaro had, they both are falling now. Since Keitaro had pulled Naru trying to get up.
Keitaro landed with a big thud. While Naru never landed at all. Keitaro looked around for Naru to make sure she was okay. But she found her,alright. Safe within another's man arms!
Su and Sarah came down to where Keitaro is, just to make sure they hadn't over did it. But they had stopped dead track when they noticed who is holding Naru.
"Dork, you have some luck don't ya? Look at that! Having your fiancee quickly taken away from ya!" Sarah said teasing Keitaro but didn't even look at him but stared at the guy.
"Maybe he's more playful than Keitaro!!" Su suggested in a cute voice, happy to have another guy play mate.
"Naru?" Keitaro said. Trying to get Naru's attention away from the guy who is holding her freely.
Naru had heard Keitaro quite well. But was completely fascinated at the man who is holding her and saved her life. Fascinating. Handsome.
Shin looked at Naru and smiled at her. "So you're Naru Narusegawa. So that must mean that guy over there...is a jealous fiancee named Urashima,Keitaro. Correct?" Naru nodded. Didn't know what to say.
It was shocking enough to have him save her but to know her already was shocking.
"Would you like if I put your fiancee down,Urashima? Or would you rather glare at me and not even bother taking her away from my arms?" Shin speaks the truth and wasn't really reluctant to hold it back.
Keitaro was glaring at him. But when he realized what Shin said, He turned red. "Ah..Yes. Thank You." He said politely. He almost forgot that man who is rubbing against his ego had saved Naru's life.
Shin put Naru down, gently. 'Maybe I'm already getting in there bad side? I should have been more polite. It's not like I plan holding his fiancee. I'll be damn. Falling of a roof?' Shin thought.
"You are?" Naru asked. 'A very handsome guy. Who I wouldn't mind being held' Naru thought. But she quickly released them as she know she is in love with Keitaro.
"Mhm...My identity isn't that important. And I didn't mean to stay long. Just wanted to see if she is here. But I don't see her presence. So I must be leaving now." Shin bowed before them. Without waiting for their response he quickly turned away and walk toward the exit. He didn't want to do some jumping around for that would look weird or out of the ordinary at least.
"Wow! That guy was sure a looker!" Kitsune came out of the house with a bottle of sake,she held. Half Empty. "Lucky you Naru. Damn. I would give away my booze for him." She said seeing if Keitaro would react.
Keitaro just did. He frowned. Jealousy running through him. But quickly evaporated as Naru held his hand tight. He looked at Naru smiling.
"Quit teasing him,Kitsune. Beside I wouldn't even have a chance with him. A handsome guy like him possibly have a lover. So I'll stick with Keitaro to be safe." Naru said jokingly. But Keitaro made a face.
"Aww c'mon Kei-kun I was only joking. I love you. Don't forget it." Naru said. Keitaro smiled happily. He planted a kiss on her lips.
"Eew. I can't believe Naru just let the dork kiss her." Sarah said in disgust but with joking tone. "C'mon Su! We need to think of a plan to attack Keitaro next time." with that being said Su and Sarah ran far away in some secret lair that was never mention.
"So who exactly was he looking for?" Kitsune asked the couple as she took a gulp of sake.
"I have no idea. But he did say he was gonna leave 'cause he didn't see her here. So it must be one of the resident he didn't see?" Keitaro said. His conclusion didn't sound dumb. It was smart actually.
"The only people he didn't see is Haruka,Shinobu and Motoko." Naru said. "But Haruka is with Seta. They left Sarah so she can go school but right now it's about to be winter break."
"Yeah. And what would that kinda man look for Shinobu? No offense or anything Shinobu is kinda young for him. Unless he is the man who likes young girls." Kitsune added with a hiccup.
"Motoko? What does he want from Motoko?" Keitaro asked but there is no answer for it. The only way they can find out who he is and if their guess is wrong is to confront Motoko.
In any case...
Shin started jumping from roof to roof when he was gone out of their sight. He was frowning again. He hasn't found her. Though he was happy he hadn't. He couldn't bring himself to see her. But he must.
He thought of ways for asking forgiveness. All seem pathetic and retarded that he quickly dislike it. And it was midly challenging getting direction about the place.
He battled the old lady for it. He easily defeated her. But he was admiring the old lady for having such good martial art moves. With that he concluded never to underestimate women no matter their ages.
He stopped. He smelled the scent. The scent of a girl who carries a sword. Deadly. He looked around. Or more of down in this case. He saw her. He was on one of the houses roof top. Just right after the stairs that leads to Hinata's Inn.
"Motoko?" He whisphered to himself. He didn't know what else to say. Didn't expect to see her in this way. Instead of wearing her old kendo clothes. She wore the more righteous clothing style.
She wore a simple top,color of black,complimenting her lean yet beautiful body. And she wore jeans. Tight jeans,enough to know she is fit and have long sexy legs. [How he sees Motoko
"I don't know which is more appealing. Her kendo or this." He said kind of loud that he cursed himself silently. "At least I won't be killed by an ugly woman." He laughed softly. He had no idea what is amusing about it.
"But then again. When did I ever thought of her as ugly?" He questioned himself. He had never said Motoko was ugly. No. Ever since he had met her,young. Never. He admired her. Though at first he was perplexed
on why a girl must act so manly,so tough when they can have men protecting them. He frowned. 'Men protecting them. I failed. Didn't I?' He thought. He sat himself on the roof quietly. Didn't bother to take on last look on Motoko for his guilty is bothering him.
Motoko was positive someone was looking at her. But she had gotten use to someone looking at her. Especially perverted guys. She would have glared at the guy who would stare at her but she didn't exactly know where the guy is. 'This guy is good. No presence at all' Motoko thought as she moved on and started walking up the stairs easily.
She just came home. She spent time with her friends she had met in Tokyo U. All her friends always pushed her to get some guy. They told her it was easy with her beauty. But she refused. Not when the only thing that happens on loving a guy is disappointment and heart break for her. She dated some guys. But she was always disappointed at them because they were no challenge.
As she reaches the top and open the door slowly.
"Hi guys! I'm back!" She said in a cheery voice but was replaced with question.
She was quickly pulled in and had the door shut behind her fast as her friends for how many years looked at her with curious eyes.
"Did I miss something?" She asked patiently as she put down her shopping bag.
Kitsune was laying down on the couch,possibly drunk as she nodded. While Naru and Keitaro looked at her with some difficult eyes.
Sarah and Su suddenly appeared hearing Motoko's voice.
"Oo! Motoko you're back! Did you bring us candies?" asked Su. Motoko nodded as she sat herself on another couch that isn't occupied yet. She pointed at the shopping bag she just put down.
Su and Sarah quickly took the bag and start their hunt for sugary snackings.
"Dork here was jealous this morning. Cause Naru was saved by this guy. And he happens to be looking for you. Or so they think." Sarah explained while grabbing all the sugar snacking she can get.
Naru and Keitaro sweat drop as sighed. They must thank Sarah later to putting it in a simple matter of terms. Kitsune was already dozing off with a hiccup.
Sarah and Su exited with the candies and left the four or maybe three people, to talk about the happenings.
"What guy?" Motoko could only ask. She was suspicious. So she was right. Someone has been looking at her awhile ago. But she didn't know who.
"We don't know his name. He said in a coolly way that his identity isn't important." Keitaro explained.
"What makes you guys think,he is looking for me?" Motoko asked. Naru bit her lower lips and Keitaro shrugged.
A minute of silence.
"It was a hunch. He saved me. He looked like he has skills similar to yours but he didn't show it." Naru said. "No swords though. Maybe he thought haivng a sword is a dead give away." Naru suggested.
"What would that guy want with me?" Motoko asked sighing from tiredness. Naru and Keitaro both shrugged at that.
"Not to worry Motoko! He is gone anyways." Keitaro smiled hoping the issue would be drop since it doesn't seem to be dangerous.
Motoko nodded. When they were about to relax and go back to the normal,if it was consider normal a scream was heard.
"That was Shinobu!" Naru gasped. Motoko grabbed her sword and hurried to the sound and Keitaro followed,so did Naru.
Back to him
A girl yelling loudly. He frowned. 'Why do girls yell so loud' He thought. As he approached the girl.'How did I get myself in this situation?'
"Calm Down Girl. The wolf is gone." With that he tried analyzing what he said,if he did make sense. 'A wolf? Why would there be wolf here!? Damn what kinda place is this!?'
She was crying. Shaking.
"Don't be scared. The wolf is gone. I probably scared him to death." saying that,he wondered which scared the girl. The wolf or him suddenly appearing right before she was close to be devoured. He smiled.
Shin went closer to her held out his hand to help her. She took it slowly. He lifted her up and some how without knowing his own action. He wiped away her tears with his hands.
Shinobu stared at him. His hand feels warm against her cheeks. She didn't take her eyes off of him. Afraid that he may do something that will take advantage of her.
Shin quicly took his hands away from her cheeks. "I don't bite." Was all he said. As if he can read her thoughts.
"What kinda girl are you? Attracting some danger like that. Or more who are you?" Shin asked though he wasn't looking at her. He was looking at his bloody left arm. He had use it to shield the girl.
He cursed himself when the wolf's teeth plunged within his skin and then meat. The wolf attacked so fast and he was so far at the moment it had attacked at the girl that he didn't thought of an idea to block it.
"Shi-" she was cut off. As someone yelled her named
"Shinobu! SHINOBU! SHINOBU!!!"
It was Motoko,Naru and Keitaro. Shinobu was glad they had come. But she didn't exactly needed help. She was worried about the guy that had saved him.
Shin felt a cold chill go down his spine as he heard similar voices and a very scary voice that belong to Motoko. He looked and he was right it was Motoko with the bloody deadly weapon.
Motoko,Keitaro and Naru noticed Shinobu in an instant. But they noticed the guy before her who was bloody. "It's him!" Naru and Keitaro said in unison.
Motoko took out her sword from it's cover and sliced the wind. Making the wind twirl. It was strong that you can actually see the wind. It came to get Shin.
Shin stood his ground as the wind came for him. The twirling wind cutted part of his clothes. A sweat drop may had appeared on his face but he held it in.
'God. Luckily I have good luck. At least she didn't kill me yet.' Shin thought. He didn't move from where he was. He didn't even look frighten at the attack.
Motoko jumped and landed in front of Shinobu.
"Shinobu stand back let me take care of him! You bastard how dare you take advantage of an innocent girl!" Motoko shouted at him. Now he was furious but he didn't show it.
As Naru and Keitaro camed they both said something similar.
"Haha! You only pretended to be innocent saving my fiancee when you're just a slime wanting Shinobu and her body!" Keitaro shouted. Naru didn't say anything. Didn't accuse him. Shin was thankful.
He doesn't like being accused of something he didn't do. He didn't say anything while Motoko was preparing herself for a more deadly attack.
'Wow,my death came sooner than I thought and for the wrong reasons' He thought while a smile appeared.
"Motoko. Stop. He didn't try anything. He saved me." Shinobu said putting her hand on Motoko's left shoulder to give her a message of calm down.
Motoko looked over her shoulder seeing Shinobu. She was confused.
"What do you mean? You screamed." Keitaro asked. "He's just a pervert I knew it! A desperate one who would take on any helpless girl." With that statement Shin couldn't contain his anger anymore.
He appeared behind Keitaro and in front of Naru, his back facing her. Within his right hand was Motoko's sword. Motoko blinked. She didn't realize the sword has been taken away. Naru gasped in horror.
"How dare you" Shin said icily. A tone of death in his voice. Keitaro shivered. Shin moved the sword closer to Keitaro so close it was already touching the skin of his neck.
"Please don't do it!" Naru begged. She doubted that Keitaro would be immune to this attack. She placed both of her hands on Shin's left hand which is bloody. She shaked it trying to get his attention.
Naru was crying. Crying. Shin frowned. He hated when a woman cries. Hated when they yell. Hated when they have to resort to begging. Shin laughed.
"I was only joking." He dropped the sword on the ground and faced Naru with a worried smile. "Please Ms.Narusegawa,don't cry. I won't take his life even though he did accused me of cruel things without getting his damn facts right. Doesn't even know me yet he is quick to judge. Surely your fiancee isn't like this at all. To be judgemental of people so quickly." Naru nodded. "I forgive him" Reassuring her that he holds no grudge.
"Urashima. You're alright." Shin stated. "But please don't upset me. I am not the type of person who let others put me down when it is false."
'I speak so calmly to people I don't know. Yet I'm scared to acknowledge her presence. But I must.'He thought. He looked at Motoko now, who never took her eyes off of him.
His smile evaporated as she is glaring daggers at him.
"Are you glaring at me 'cause I have easily took your sword without your notice or that I had threaten your friend's life or is it I dropped your sword like it is not important?"
Keitaro and Naru stared at him,thinking the same thing. 'Boy does he have guts to pissed off Motoko.' Shinobu went to Naru and Keitaro trying to seek comfort of safety from them.
Motoko was pissed. Pissed that he took her sword so fast and unnotice. And not having to protect Keitaro from her own sword. Also,the treatment her sword has gotten.
"All of it" She said simply reaching for her sword. Shin frowned.
"You're going to kill me for the wrong reason Mo-chan." He said. He almost cursed himself for saying that nickname. That can only mean that he is close to Motoko. Or to him,Motoko is close.
Motoko blinked at him. Confused again. 'Wrong reason? Mo-chan?' She ignored the Mo-chan part. "What other reason is there?" Shin sighed.
"You swore you would kill me some day if ever you see me again. You promised." Shin said knowing too well he has to explain more but didn't want to at least bothered to.
As if remembering something from the past Motoko's eyes widened. She gulped.
"Shin? Is it you...?" Motoko asked. Not believing what she is seeing. The man before him was someone she thought was dead and never to come back. The man before him she had put a dead mark on.
"Yes. It's me. Shin. I came here because of your promise to kill me." Shin said it so calmly that Naru,Keitaro and Shinobu almost thought killing him wasn't a big deal.
"You're a fool! Why seek for your death?" Motoko angered voice shouted.
"Because maybe letting you kill me..You would forgive me...Perhaps?" Shin asked. He had hoped for the forgiveness. He dreaded the death part that comes with it.
She sighed. Her anger gone. She wanted to hit him though. For his logic of getting her to forgive him is going too far. Maybe he wasn't even using logic.
"I think you're an idiot,Shin." She put her sword inside the covers and closed her eyes and took a deep breath before releasing it.
"I am an idiot. I found that out myself the day you swore you hate me with all your life that if ever I come for you,you would kill me. And you also said you'll only forgive me if I am dead." A sad tone in his voice made Motoko opened her eyes and looked at him for a moment. 'He's sad?'
"You honestly took my threat seriously?" Motoko asked. Shocked that he had nodded. She was going to laugh but seeing how Shin feature was sad she didn't.
"Honestly. I thought you were dead." Motoko talked about dead in a simple matter that Shin was even wondering if death to her was a big deal or not.
"You must be seeing ghost then." Shin said with a smile. A smile and then he collapsed.
"Shin!" Motoko yelled as she tried to awaken him. "Wha? I didn't even noticed he was badly injured. From what?"
"From the wolf. He used himself to blocked the attack so I would be safe." Shinobu said shaking a bit. "But he said before like...well he was cursing..something about poison."
"Damn. And he didn't even say a word of how he's hurting. Stupid as usual." Said Motoko with her cold voice but worried as well.
"You go ahead Motoko, Naru and I will take him upstairs and you prepare whatever you can do to help your friend." Said Keitaro urging Motoko to go. With that Motoko hurriedly left.
"Shinobu. You go ahead now. Clean yourself and just relax ok?" Keitaro suggested and Shinobu nodded and did what she was told.
3 Days passed
They had took care of Shin and his injuries. But they had a hard time trying to get rid of the poison that could have killed him.
With Motoko suggestion to keep an eye on him, they put him in her room. Since Motoko knows him and she knows how to handle these kind of things.
But she was worrying now. He hasn't waken up for three days.
He was laying on a futon while Motoko was near him sitting down quietly. Next to her was ramen. She had been making ramen for she remembered Shin's favorite food is ramen.
"Damn you,Shin. You said you came here for forgiveness and by that I have to kill you. But doesn't mean you have to die." Motoko whisphered softly. A knock on the sliding door.
"Motoko,It's me Naru. May I come in?" Naru asked. "Yes,Naru. What is it?" As Naru came in opening the sliding door and closing it. She's wearing her huge thick glasses again.
She sat herself near Motoko and was now looking at Shin.
"Well. I was wondering are you guys brother and sister?" Naru didn't want to ask this. But Kitsune and the others were wondering. Since they noticed Shin is good looking and so is Motoko,that they thought they can be possibly related. Though Naru on the other hand highly doubt it.
"No. Why would you think that? Surely I wouldn't try to attack my own brother." Motoko said. Naru thought of that as well. But she was kind of forced to ask and she was curious about something.
"Because the others said both of you are good looking that you can be relatives. He is good looking. I hope he wakes up soon." Naru said before realizing that was too much truth to be said that she blushed.
Motoko laughed softly at this. "I see. I hope so too." Not wanting to embaress Naru further.
"So what is he to you,Motoko?" Naru asked boldly. She figured she couldn't take it out with the type of conversation so she just went for the obvious one.
Motoko blinked at the question,looking at Naru,being suprised by the question. She didn't know what to say. A friend? An enemy? Which is it?
"Mhm. It's complicated. I don't know if I should say friend or enemy,Naru." Motoko said looking at Shin now.
"I was thinking more." Naru said.
"Huh?" Motoko was now shocked at Naru's bold statement. Naru stood up and waved her hand in front of her face so much, gesturing it was nothing. With that she left.
Motoko laughed softly noticing how Naru had waved her hand so much,it was more imaginable if it was Keitaro. 'I guess they influenced each other.' She thought.
"Mo-chan" Shin was awake and sitting down looking at her. As their eyes met. Motoko was about to think he was going to say something romantic until "I thought you killed me." Ungrateful tone.
Motoko in impulse had punched Shin with her right hand, hard on his face. He wasn't sent out flying though. He didn't even move. Said any sound that has something to do with pain.
Shin right hand grabbed Motoko's wrist,seeing how his left arm is still hurting. Gently he moved her fist away from his face,revealing a frown. He put her fist down on his lap though he didn't let it go.
He didn't want to let it go because he was scared if he was about to recieve another blow.
"But thank you." He said. The frown disappearing. He smiled at Motoko. Motoko was taken back.
"My hand,Shin." Motoko reminding him. 'Did he forget he is holding my hand?' she thought.
"I know. I didn't forget. I'm holding onto it for my own safety. Unless you had plans on feeding me with that ramen." Motoko looked at him. Waiting for a moment and nodded. Shin let go. She reached for the ramen.
And fed Shin quietly. She didn't know what to say to him. Not seeing him for so long and thinking he was dead,didn't help her.
A couple of minutes passed and Shin had devoured all of the ramen and the soup. Shin took a good look at Motoko.
'Eh...A tank top and short? Is she trying to attract men or something?' He thought.
"So Mo-chan who bathed me?" Motoko almost choked at the question. 'Can't believe he is this bold after so many years'
"Well..." Before Motoko could answer Shin's face came close to her face. Just one inch and their lips would have touch. She was looking directly at his eyes. His emerald eyes with some gold in them.
"Mo-chan. Tell me who bathed me and don't turn your head away because if you do our lips would meet." Shin smiled at this. "Must be you,right?" She didn't dare nod because any movement of her head would mean kissing him,the bold and rather truthful Shin.
The sliding door had open. Revealing Kanako. Motoko looked at her and she realized she had moved her head. Their lips had grace each other for a second and then it was gone. Now Shin's lips kissed Motoko's cheek.
"What is this Motoko?" Kanako looking back at Motoko. "Already offering yourself to an injured man?" Motoko glared at her.
Shin backed away from Motoko and looked at Kanako. She was wearing a goth impression kinda dress. Though it suit her rather nicely. She is beauty.
"Wow,Mo-chan. You have such a beautiful friend." Shin complimented Kanako. Kanako did a "Mhph" just to hide her blush.
Shin stood up and walked toward Kanako and took her hand and shaked it. "Please to meet you Miss Kanako."
"How do you know me?" Kanako asked remembering she never gave her name away nor did Motoko speak it.
"Your grandmother mad'am" Shin never let go of Kanako's hand. He was waiting if she was going to say something about it. He wanted to let go already but Kanako was holding his hand too with some grip.
"You are,Sir?" Kanako asked. She may had been unsuccesful at having her own brother. But this guy before her was a Bonus. She didn't want to let him go.
"I'll tell you if you let go of my hand." Shin said noticing the wanting in Kanako's eyes. Though he really didn't mind being want by such a beautiful woman. He actually love her style.
"I'll let it go if you tell me." Kanako shot back. Shin was laughing in amusement. Couldn't believe something was against him now,in argument. Before he could answer back,someone did it for him.
"Shin" Motoko said his name with some intense aura put into it. She stood up. She couldn't help but want to smash Shin against a brick wall for leaving her so soon without saying anything about the kiss.
"Ok,Now you can let go of my hand." Shin said. Scared at the moment sensing some anger out of Motoko. Kanako did let go but she was glaring at Motoko.
