"Insanity of the Vespa Woman"
By: Ggultra2764
Keitaro gets ran down by a woman on a Vespa. However, she isn't a woman from this world. Who is this mysterious Vespa-riding woman?
Chapter 1: Arrival
Keitaro Urashima, age 19, a second-year ronin trying for Tokyo University to fulfill a promise he made with a girl 15 years ago. Currently, the manager of the all-girl's dormitory called Hinata Inn. He endures enough from many of the girls at the inn who treat him as a servant and beat the daylights out of him because they think he's a pervert.
One spring day, Keitaro is outside brushing away the falling cherry blossoms off the steps to the inn coming off the trees. He sighs over the fact that he was blackmailed into doing the job by Kitsune, though it was supposed to be her job.
"Oy, Keitaro! Could you do me a favor?"
"What kind of favor, Kitsune-san?"
"Could you sweep up the cherry blossoms that are falling off the trees onto the inn stairs?"
"That's supposed to be your job today."
"But, I can't do it today. I plan on going to the bar all day today."
"What makes you think I'd do it in your place?"
"Because if you don't, I'll tell Naru of the time where you tripped into Shinobu and you accidentally placed your hand on her chest when you fell onto her."
"What? You saw that!"
"Lucky for you, Naru wasn't there at the time! I wonder how she'd act if I were to tell her."
"Ugh! Fine! I'll do it!"
"That's a good manager. Have a fun time."
Kitsune Konno was the oldest tenant living at Hinata Inn at around Keitaro's age. She often likes to take advantage of Keitaro and have him do whatever she wants.
Keitaro was annoyed that he was reluctant enough to fall into Kitsune's blackmail, but to him, it was better than getting another Naru punch sending him out of Japan. As he was about to sweep up the last bits of blossoms that were on the ground, a gust of wind blew apart the pile of blossoms that Keitaro swept up. He yelled as the work he had been doing all afternoon long was cast down on the inn stairway again.
Just as an annoyed Keitaro was about to start his work over again, he hears a motorbike engine coming towards him. He turns to his right to find a yellow moped coming his way. The occupant of the bike has a guitar strapped to their back approaching him at a very fast speed. The rider takes the guitar off of their back and holds onto the handle of it as they drag the guitar on the ground.
"Itadakimasu," The rider yells out in a gruff, yet female sounding voice. She extends the guitar up into the air and twirls it around while still holding onto the guitar handle.
"What are you doing, you maniac?" Keitaro yells.
Before Keitaro can make any movement to get out of the rider's way however, a gust of wind blowing cherry blossoms obscures the rider's view as she causes the moped to drive into Keitaro running him down. As the rider finally gets her view back, she pulls on the brakes to the moped and parks it while Keitaro is twisting around like a corkscrew before slamming face first to the ground.
"Oops, it happened again," she mutters.
"Sempai, are you okay? I can hear you yelling from inside the kitchen."
Shinobu Maehara walks out onto the stairway to see what sort of commotion is going on. Shinobu is the youngest tenant living at the inn at age 13. Unlike the other tenants, Shinobu treats Keitaro nicely and does much of the cooking at the inn. She sees Keitaro lying on the ground.
"Sempai!" she yells out as she runs down to the bottom of the stairway to see if he's alright.
"Stop!"
Shinobu hears the yelling of the moped rider. Shinobu points her attention at the driver. The driver is wearing a white helmet with goggles, a white scarf on her neck, a red vest, yellow gloves, black joggers, and white boots. She looks quite tall, perhaps over 180 centimeters tall.
"If what they say about Kei-kun is true, then he should be just fine."
Shinobu grows puzzled over the biker's comment as the biker approaches Keitaro to turn him over. As the biker turns him over, she notices that he's drooling and unconscious.
"Oh, great! Don't tell me that did away from him?" She mutters.
"Excuse me!"
The biker turns her attention towards Shinobu.
"Who are you! You seem to know Sempai!"
"The name's Haruhara, but I think the rumors were false about this guy being immortal."
"Are you saying that Sempai's…"
Shinobu's words are interrupted when she and Haruhara turn around to hear mumbling from Keitaro. As both of them get a closer look, they hear him talking.
"Oh, I'm finally in Toudai. We're here at last, my promised one," He mumbles while sleeping.
"This idiot's sleeping. I think I know a way to wake him up."
Haruhara tosses off her helmet and goggles. Shinobu sees that Haruhara has peachish-pink hair and yellow eyes.
"This worked with Ta-kun, so I'm sure this will work on Kei-kun."
Haruhara gets up close to Keitaro as she gets on top of him and holds onto his cheeks with her hands. Shinobu starts to get flustered.
"What, what, what are you doing to Sempai out here?"
"Revive!" Haruhara yells out.
As Haruhara is about to do whatever she had planned with Keitaro, she hears a woman yelling out "Keitaro." Haruhara sees an incoming foot about to kick Keitaro. She dodges out of the way before the foot makes impact as Keitaro is kicked right into the air. The kick must have woken him up because Keitaro can be heard yelling as the kick sends him into the air out of the sight of the human eye.
As Haruhara turns around to see the attacker, it turns out to be Naru Narusegawa, a third-year senior high school student also trying to get into Tokyo University and one of the tenants who normally thrash Keitaro for his "perverted" ways.
"What does that pervert think he's doing now?"
"Actually, it was my doing!"
"Who are you?"
"You and Kei-kun have an interesting relationship. Kind of like Ranma and Akane. I'm going to enjoy staying here."
Chapter 1 Ended.
Japanese Terms:
1. Sempai- Japanese term used to address respect towards upperclassmen or those in a higher position of business.
2. Itadakimasu- Ready to receive. Normally said before eating food at the Japanese dinner table. Don't ask me on what Haruhara meant by that.
As you obviously see, this is a Love Hina/ FLCL crossover. I have no idea on how I'll keep going on this story, but I've got some crazy ideas flowing through my head for Haruhara's presence at Hinata Inn. If I get enough reviews, then I'll find some time to write up another chapter.
