Bruce Almighty: Keitaro Urashima
An: Okay, I've had this idea ever since I noticed the similarities between Bruce Nolan in Bruce Almighty & Keitaro Urashima in Love Hina. If you wonder what I mean, it's not the comedic side, it's because they both go through a huge hardship in their life, in other words, life seem to give them the short end of the stick. So I thought Keitaro Urashima should become Keitaro Almighty!!! Well here it is. Enjoy! Oh yeah this takes place one year after the comic partially ends but before the wedding.
And by the way, I do know there is a "Keitaro Almighty" fanfic here so I renamed this. And I swear I am NOT copying him.
Chapter 1
It was your ordinary average day at the Hinata Apartments. Shinobu was busy dinner in the kitchen, Motoko was busy practicing her kendo swings on the balcony area. Kitsune was working at the tea house, and Su was busy working on her Mecha-Tahma mark 7. Um, okay so it wasn't EXACTLY what you call normal, but it is considered normal there.
As for our favorite landlord and his girlfriend, they were busy up in their room. (AN: For those anti-Naru people out there, I am one of the few who support the Naru/Keitaro relationship, so if you want me to pair up Keitaro with someone else, TOUGH COOKIES, cause it ain't going to happen!) Naru was busy relaxing, going through some photo's while Keitaro was busy checking over an important document he was looking at.
Naru looked up from her work and said, "Keitaro, why don't you give it a rest, it's fine the way it is."
Keitaro looked over at Naru and said, "It may be, but I need to make sure this is excellent, otherwise I won't be able to get a reputation of my own as an archeologist! I can't just be an assistant all my life!"
"You will get a reputation as one, it just takes time", said Naru, "Now take a break and help me with this photo album like you promised!"
Keitaro shrugged. The last thing he wanted was to get on his girlfriend's bad side, so he complied and sat down behind Naru and began looking through the photographs.
"Now just look through them and pick your favorites", said Naru.
Keitaro just flipped through the photos mindlessly, for his mind was someplace else.
"Shinichi is going to get his area approved."
Naru groaned. Then she started putting the photos away.
"Fine we don't need to do these", she said angrily, "After all some kid can do it for us someday in the future!"
As she started putting everything away Keitaro happened to pull out a photo and blushed.
Naru turned and saw him gawking at that photo. "Okay, what perverted thought do you have now."
She looked at the photo he was looking at, it was a photo of them both using the hot spring together for the first time.
"Okay you, give me that, that goes in our private stash", said Naru trying to grab it.
Keitaro however managed to snap out of his daze to keep yanking the photo out of Naru's reach.
"Ah, ah", he said.
Naru eventually gave up. "Fine, do with it whatever you want", she said and walked away, heading towards the kitchen for Dinner.
"I might send this to that American magazine called Playboy", he shouted, "I hear they pay good money for THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!"
He really shouted that last line for Naru sent him a punch that sent him halfway across town.
After panting from pulling that punch Kitsune appeared almost out of nowhere and said, "You two are lovers, yet you still punch him for dirty remarks." As she said that she shook her head.
Keitaro quickly made his way down the halls of Tokyo U towards Seta's office. "Oh man", he said as he ran down the hall, "Why did I oversleep! And that delay on the train didn't help much either!"
He quickly ran by other students and other teachers and to the place where Seta's office is.
He opened the door and there. . . stood Shinichi having his report handed back to him by Seta.
Seta then notice Keitaro. "Oh, hey there Keitaro", he said. He glimpsed at his watch, "A little late, but let's check your report anyway."
Keitaro gasped a huge sigh of relief and handed his report over.
Seta took it and began to read it through. A few minutes later he put the report down.
"Well", he said, "It's an interesting idea on where to survey, but Shinichi's research is more promising".
Keitaro hung his head, "O-okay sir."
He was just about to leave when he felt Seta's hand on his folder.
"Hey", he said, "Give it time, your one of my finest workers. So don't worry, we may consider surveying this area in the future."
"Yep", said Shinichi, "Maybe they may consider it over one of mine, when this is over."
"Thanks a lot", said Keitaro as he left and closed the door behind him.
Seta turned to his assistant, "I think he took your encouragement the wrong way. Oh well."
Through the rest of the day at Tokyo U Keitaro continued to mope in the fact the area he suggested wasn't selected.
"And after all that time I spent with him in Molmol he can't trust me to select a possible area to survey", he said as he was making his way to the next lecture.
Of course two familiar girls heard him.
"Oh Keitaro, cheer up, just because he didn't select your area, doesn't mean it's the end of the world", said Naru.
"AAAAH", shouted Keitaro in surprise.
"Fu fu fu", said another voice, which turned out to be Mutsumi, and again scared Keitaro that she appeared out of nowhere. "She's right. Just because you got rejected this time, doesn't mean you won't be rejected next time, after all, didn't you get rejected three times before setting foot in here."
Naru sighed and slapped her face, "No Mutsumi, he failed three times before coming here, there's a big difference!"
"Oh my", said Mutsumi putting a hand to her face again, "I did it again didn't I?"
After sighing again, Naru turned to Keitaro and said, "Look, whatever happens, don't let it get you down. After all, no matter what, your always the best archeologist to me."
Keitaro smiled and said, "Thanks, I feel a bit better now."
Naru then said, "Glad to hear it." Then she reached into her bag and pulled out a ring of beads. "Here take these, you may need them more than I do."
Keitaro took them and asked, "What are they?"
"Prayer beads", said Naru, "A student at one of my tutoring sessions gave them to me as a thank you gift, but I think you should have them."
"Thanks again Naru", said Keitaro. They both shared a brief kiss before Mutsumi said, "Oh my, I hope those beads are powerful, otherwise we are going to be late for all of our lectures."
Of course this got everyone back into their senses. They all quickly rushed to their classes.
Keitaro slowly made up the steps to Hinata-sou, exhausted. "Boy what a day", he said. "You said it", said Naru and Mitsune came up behind him.
Keitaro went in, took off his shoes and collapsed on the couch. He gave a big sigh. But that peace was not to last.
Behind him came a small little white haired, dark-skinned girl. "WELCOME BACK KEITARO", shouted Su.
Keitaro lept up in surprise. "Su", said Keitaro, "I need some. . ."
"Behold my newest Mecha", said Su as she took out a remote. She pressed a button and a huge turtle like mech began bombarding Keitaro. Keitaro ran for dear life around the halls and such of Hinata with a laughing Su right behind them.
Meanwhile Motoko was just getting back in from her training session. When she noticed Keitaro running with a turtle mech. Of course being the turtlephobe she was, she got startled and froze a bit. "T-t-t-t-t-turtle!"
She froze long enough for Keitaro to bump into her, in the wrong spot. "Oh so sorry!" H runs off, leaving a blushing Motoko, then her face got red for another reason, anger. "URASHIMA!"
Eventually Keitaro ran until he was on the roof. He was conered by Su and her mech which then blasted him. "GYAAAAAAAH!" He fell up high then he hit ground, thankfully he was okay, but then he stared up into an red faced Motoko. "Urashima, how dare you! HOW DARE YOU!" She whisked her sword and soon Keitaro was blasted through his house by a wave of chi. He just went past Naru who ran after him and he landed right onto Shinobu who was working in the kitchen.
Naru ran in just in time to see the two on each other, and his hand was accidently on Shinobu's skirt. Naru saw red immediately. "KEITARO YOU PERVERT!"
"It was an ACCCIDCEEEEEEENT", said Keitaro as he was hit full force through the house.
Later, after recovering he got back to the sofa. "Oh man, this just can't get worse." At that moment the phone rang. "Yes, hello? WHAT!? No, aww come on Seta! Aww man!"
He dropped the phone in disappointment. Naru and others ran on up to him.
"What's wrong Keitaro", asked Kitsune.
"I forgot to attend the meeting with the other archeologists, AGAIN", said Keitaro, "So, guess what they did, THEY FIRED ME!" Keitaro sadly goes on up to his room.
Naru of course pitying him ran on up to his room. He found Keitaro just pacing and groaning in disgust. "Look Keitaro", said Naru, "I know you had a rough day, but just thank Kami-sama that you are okay."
"Oh yeah", said Keitaro, "Let's thank him, cause his blessings really are raining down on me. Oh wait, that's not rain, IT'S MORE OF SU'S MISSILES!"
Naru sat down and said, "I understand you are upset, but things could have gone much worse." Keitaro scoffed and responded, "Sorry, that positive thinking may have worked in the past, but not now! Kami-sama has taking it all from me!"
Naru got a bit ticked, "So he is picking on you eh?"
"No", said Keitaro, "He's ignoring me completely. He is just a mean kid with a magnifier and I am the ant. He feels he rather burn me up rather than help me!"
Naru tried to hug him, "Look, everything is going to be fine. I am just happy you are here and are okay, despite that mishap."
"No Narusegewa, I am okay with this life I am in! I go through so much and I have little to show for it", he said steamed. Then he noticed the tears in Naru's eyes. Keitaro calmed down, "Gomen, gomen, I overstepped there. I am just going to go and cool down my temper." With that he left the room and soon was walking outside of Hinata.
He looked up and said, "Please give me a signal." As he said that he passed a hand up sign with a hand on it. "Come on send me a sign!" As he said that an old man said nearby, "You must be careful you are on tough ground."
"Those old folks here", said Keitaro, "I never fully understand them." He then felt the prayer beads in his pocket. "Okay I will try it this way." He held them, "Okay, Kami-sama, I really need a miracle. PLEASE HELP MEEEEEE!" As he said that he slipped on something and fell off a bridge into a stream. He emerged a bit furious. He threw the beads into the stream once he got out.
"OKAY! I HAVE HAD IT! YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON HERE NOT DOING HIS JOB! So show me what you got! I can take Narusegewa's punches, so it shouldn't be anyworse! TALK TO ME!"
At that moment his pager went off. He took it and on it was a number. "Sorry, I don't know you and frankly I am tired", said Keitaro as he headed back to the Hinata-sou.
To be continued. . .
AN: Okay, in the next chapter is where it get's interesting. I hope I did a good job! Hope you liked it!
